iDice 1.1 (Mac OS X)

Best looking dice roller on the Mac so far!  

After keeping an eye on the dice roller app scene on the Mac for a while now, I was pleasantly surprised to see iDice. It's a great looking dice roller, and it shows a lot of promise. The developer is very friendly and responsive to feedback, as well! Nice little app...keep up the great work! [alert admin]

FixDates X 1.6 (Mac OS X)

not safe for work!  

I was hoping to try this application; I work the Mac Help Desk at a large nonprofit corporation, and one of my clients just called me with a creation/modification dates issue. I searched here at VT and the description for FixDates X seemed to fit the bill nicely. I clicked the link to download it, and I was met with our corporate "inappropriate content" blocker page. Thinking it must've been a filter error (given the fact the terms "dates" and "x" are in the app's name), I requested an override from the web team. The filter was preventing me from viewing the content of the page (or the xeromag.com domain in general), but I figured it couldn't be but so bad, linking from here. Imagine my surprise when they got back to me and told me that www.xeromag.com is a S&M / bondage site! 0_0 So, I'd love to try the application, but until it's hosted on a non-adult server, I won't be able to. :( [alert admin]

Comic Life 1.0.1b (Mac OS X)

Quite simply, the coolest, most enjoyable app I've seen in years!  

Every once in a while, a piece of software comes around that simply blows you away. Comic Life is that software. Its concept is so basic that you wonder why nobody thought of this sooner, and its execution is so elegantly simple that you realize this could only have been developed on the Mac, and only then by a talented team that "think(s) different". Since seeing Comic Life for the first time last week, I was blown away with the potential of this application. After playing with it, I was blown away by its intuitiveness and simplicity. When introduced at $40, I thought it was a great deal. In the week since its introduction, the developers have been working diligently on improving the application, and have issued two updates (1.0.1 and 1.0.1b). They have also dropped the standard license fee to $25, which makes it a no-brainer as far as a purchase. Don't be fooled by the name. Comic Life is an ideal solution for all sorts of projects: Comic Strips, Scrapbooking, Greeting Cards, Family Newsletters, Step-By-Step Guides, ComicBlogs, Satire/Parody, and even Video (think of using this with a "pan-and-scan" photo-to-movie application and iMovie). Professional designers: put this in your toolkit alongside Photoshop and Illustrator, and your possibilites are wide open. Built-in integration with .Mac (dot-mac) makes this an ideal solution for those with .Mac accounts. plasq's Comic Life is to images what Apple's GarageBand is to music: extremely fun, easy to use, and jaw-droppingly inspirational.

DeepBurner 1.1.0.109 (Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 2000)

Freeware?! Very nice!  

I downloaded and used DeepBurner 1.1.0.109 on Win2K at work, and it was great, with one exception: it didn't like the particular DVDs we had (I can't remember if they were +R or -R, but whatever they were, there was a well-documented incompatibility with them). Anyhow, the interface is quite intuitive (coming from a Mac user here), and I had no problems whatsoever burning data CDs with DeepBurner. Kudos to the developer, and I hope to see the one DVD media incompatibility bug fixed...but for free, I'm certainly not complaining! [alert admin]
