Pax Galaxia 1.1.2 (Mac OS X)
Once again, Duckhue strikes with a useless review. 
Dude, are you spending your days waiting for yet another piece of software to rip apart without cause? Where is your work that, by contrast, makes this so horrible? i downloaded this, and played through all the free levels. It's actually a very interesting game, and I imagine the more difficult settings are killer. Do not listen to Duckhue, again... try it for yourself... Duckhue, if you want a job writing pithy little one line comments, try one of the local newspapers... they seem to like that garbage. [alert admin]

Adobe Reader 7.0.0 (Mac OS X)
How do I get rid of this monstrosity?
How does one remove Reader 7, including whatever is hanging in the background that has hijacked Safari? removing the App, and also the "things" in the uninstall.log that hang around in Application Support still tells me to "Select an Adobe Reader" when I browse to a PDF file, instead of either downloading it or (as usual) popping it open in Preview. Ironically, it will ONLY allow you to select Reader 7! I would rather have things hijacked into Reader 6 if I had the choice (which I do not, it is impossibly grayed out)... Reader 7 generates CUPS errors and absolutely won't print anything. Any direct Adobe "support" for Reader is, as usual, basically nonexistant. ... [alert admin]

Forensic Suite 2.22 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
That seems like a silly response. The drive is already going to be booched by the time you run this. [alert admin]

Frenesia 1.0 (Mac OS X)
people who can tolerate its irritating control input mechanism. You hit the left arrow (or whatever) and the player ship rotates facing left, no matter what the starting position. This may sound simple enough, but give it a shot with the keyboard using the arrow keys and see what you think... It may be better with an 8 directional pad - but I haven't got anything like that around here except a GameCube controller. I am much more for a "push left, the ship turns one increment left.. push right the ship turns one increment right" ... blame asteroids I guess, or any number of driving/flying/space games that have gotten me accustomed to that convenient way of input. Or blame real life driving cars and flying aircraft. Take your pick but this is not feeling right. The music is alright, and the graphical elements are pleasant enough (I do like the clean/simple stuff going on). I think it could be a decent enough passtime except the input strategy forces me to toss it in its current state. In fairness to the author who may have enjoyed this way of moving the ship, or perhaps considers this part of the challenge (?) I am not putting a star rating here based on my opinion of how things should be. If only we VT folk were always so judicious ;)... [alert admin]

Derelict 1.02 (Mac OS X)
doesn't work with current state of the Radeon drivers on my pbook...
Currently there is an issue where on some powerbooks running the latest system, things running in 16 bit show up as garbage... a fix would be to have a pop up pre-start that lets the user choose to go into 32bit color depth. Will forward this to the programmer, but this is not really the programmer's fault. From what I hear on some dev boards, this was introduced in 10.3.8 and affects (at least known) powerbook's with 64mb Radeon 9600s. aka aluminum 15s from last year, etc... [alert admin]

BMaxCode beta 5.5 (Mac OS X)
I also have the bouncing app...
I've also got an application with the generic App icon bouncing in the dock indefinitely. Then went to your site to find out about it, and hopefully your email address, and got a blank white page. I guess your email may be stored in your dev info so I'll look there, but it might not hurt to put it on your site. Also, the .sit did appear to unstuff as I got the two text documents, but the app did not. [alert admin]

Sigma Chess 6.1.1 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
it doesn't raise the price of SigmaChess to 20 pounds... SigmaChess costs the same as it always did, and you (and I) have already registered it. The cost of the HIARCs engine is separate, and it is not fair to presume that either 1) the total cost of the software has actually increased due to the new ability to use an optional extra engine or 2) that we should get a proprietary 3rd party engine for free based on our license to use the base software. ChessMaster 9000 might have been bought if it had not been delayed forever, but with my experience with the CM series on windows machines, it just gets more and more bloated as time passes.

Fire 1.5 (Mac OS X)
greaet update, and how to fix that problem (last poster)
great update as usual... the problem with being unable to see your input can be solved by dragging the little "dot" handle at the bottom of the conversation window up. I would imagine that the devs would prefer that this had defaulted to visible, but it's just a control so nothing major. Fire rules. [alert admin]

WebWizard 0.998 (Mac OS X)
Applebeer is sort of right, but...
In this and many cases, the programs are so specialized that if you know or would be interested in it, you would have known exactly what it did from the brief description. I downloaded this, looks nice. I do think it is unfortunate that WotC did not make an OSX client for their MTG server, as it is quite interesting. This could definitely take its place for we mac folk. I like the fact that it is user-driven (meaning it is more freeform in play) rather than rigid. now if only I knew some other mac user that played with it. [alert admin]

GmailStatus 0.9 (Mac OS X)
i came to the powerbook to find the fans going full blast and the culprit was gmail status running at 95% cpu. It had not done this until today, and I have no Idea the problem. There were still 0 messages in my gmail inbox, so it was not being overloaded by "work." [alert admin]

however, I forgot to add that I agree asking for a password without the user specifically calling on its services sounds very irritating.

Please check your geek dictionary for the actual meaning of "phishing" before misusing it. Collecting emails for a download does not mean "phishing."

obviously he meant versiontracker users / developers, not VersionTracker the website in singular. I don't understand his problem with this though.

there are a lot of people doing a lot worse on Mac hardware, so if you're interested in quickly boycotting that as well we would be happy to relieve you of the burden.

i am feeling like an old fogey
as soon as I saw the description of this app, I knew that in the comments someone would instantly post something that has to do with the coinciding terminal command. is that really faster than clicking an icon? of course not. it's obviously a shortcut, not a replacement of uptime... and if some people don't know about uptime, it's not the end of your nor their world.
