Microsoft Messenger 5.0.0 (Mac OS X)
Corporate comunications failure
The only reason I'd even consider this is because my corp uses the "Live Communications Server" so we aren't sending our private conversations over the internet in plaintext. Unfortunately, 5.0 for Mac just can't contact or use our TLS server. No diagnostics are provided, so you end up guessing and hacking. End result: your local Microsoft admin who knows no better assumes Macs are xxxx, and gives up. [alert admin]

MultiMode 5.4.0 (Mac OS X)
Marginally useful, if you can get it to work 
Let's be honest here: the inteface is awful. Screen refreshes are slow and obvious. Selecting a drop-down item often leaves parts of the UI in the user area. Modes often leave the main window area in an odd state, and some modes (SSTV, FAX) seem to not be able to figure out how big the space that they have really is. The UI is ugly and nearly unusable. However, if this product actually reliably did what it says it does, then we could partially forgive the ugly UI. The fact is, it doesn't work with modest equipment. It can't lock onto machine-driven slow CW. It cannot see most RTTY traffic. With PSK31 it outputs less and less the closer you tune in. It couldn't even sort out the CHU timecode, and I'm so near a CHU station I can hear the data bursts in my fillings! Maybe it was my rig (A top of the line SW receiver with a line-out to a *very* good PCI mixing console) but nothing worked as it should. Perhaps if the UI was more responsive I would have been able to tune in the various modes more reliably. It is clearly alpha/beta release for OS X, and needs to be priced accordingly. There are some marginally useful docs on the author's website. Give it a try and see if it works for you. The product is nagware only. [alert admin]

Paranoid Android 1.2 (Mac OS X)
A decent reference on this whole URL saga
It might be useful to read this article before considering installing PA.
Essentially, all you have to do is disable a few URL types (and apply the Apple security update) and you get the same protection as this haxie, without the risk and overhead of running a haxie.
Don't get me wrong. I think these guys make solid apps, but the fact is that their haxies depend on a lot of magic to manipulate *running* applications. Magic that _can_ cause instability under the right circumstances. It's not Unsanity's fault this is so, it just is.
in a nutshell, I've disabled the bad URL types (disk, disks, telnet and afp) and pointed another at a non-terminal app (ftp) and none of the demonstration exploits effect me. This haxie does not give you any additional protection. [alert admin]

Don't go there GURLfriend! 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Wouldn't clearing the Safari preference that controls auto-open of "safe" files after downloading stop most implementations of this exploit at it's source? My understanding is that this exploit is taking advantage of the fact that the attacker knows the pathname of an executable because they gave it to you in the form of a disk image. [alert admin]

Unicoder 1.1 (Mac OS X)
Hiding email addresses from robots
If this app does what I think it does, I often solve this problem with a scrap of Javascript: <p> I can be reached by email at <script language=javascript> <!-- var contact = "myname[& # 64;]domain.org" var email = "myname" var emailHost = "domain.org" document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "to:" + email + "@" + emailHost+ ">" + contact + "</a>") //--> </script> (myname <em>at</em> domain <em>dot</em> org). </p> Remove the square braces and spaces from the phrase "[& # 64;]" -- I had to hide this from the VT commentary form processor. One could use all sorts of HTML character entities in this string in this manner. The stuff in the parenthesis shows up whether or not the browser supports Javascript. I've never had a robot steal this email address from my web site. [alert admin]

BluePhoneMenu 1.0.5 (Mac OS X)
Just a note: I like the notion of this app. However, my guess is that it will never work properly with any Nokia BT handset. The Nokia Bluetooth stack just seems to suck. Not one Bluetoth app I've ever tried (and I've tried a lot of them) has ever worked right with my 6310i and my searches for solutions only turn up other models that also have connection and security problems.

Salling Clicker 2.1 (Mac OS X)
For some reason, launching iTunes from my Palm and seeing the little album picture in control app fills me with an incredible amount of satisfaction. I have to keep from squealing like a little girl when I launch this program.
It works exactly as advertised.
Well, not with my Nokia 6310i, but BT support on 63xx phones bites. [alert admin]

N.A.G. 1.0 (Mac OS X)
I like the idea, but all I get is splash screen and an offer to submit a crash report to Apple. [alert admin]

iSwipe 1.6 (Mac OS X)
iSwipe had some potential in the past.
However, the app has not improved much in the last few months. It still crashes unexpectedly. The UI is terrible! Placing menu items in non-standard places, using odd widgets and weird layouts is just annoying.
Even Apple contradicts the HIG some of the time, but the trick is knowing UI design enough to know when you can contradict the HIG. [alert admin]

Hmmm. Might be an issue with "click-through" and "click to focus" Basically, unless you see a cursor, all you've done with the first click on a Mac is to bring the app to focus. The second click tells the no active app to do something. Think of this as: Click 1: The OS/WindowServer says "Hey Microsoft Messenger, wake up! Someone wants to use you." Click 2: Messenger sees your click and does something based…

Gapless playback will happen when we stop depending on block-oriented compression algorithms. It's the format of the file, not the application.

Lost password...Where's the developer?!
If this really does what it says, there should be no way for you to recover a lost password.

To clarify, disabling auto-mount on download makes it hard for someone to give you a disk image that contains, say, an Applescript that contains "rm -rf $HOME". However, clever coders can just guess at a nice script that you might already have in standard places. Allowing URLs to run arbitrary apps is probably not a good idea. So, I thought I'd mention "More Internet" as well, as you can use this custom pref panel…

Apple has nothing to do with the "official" genres in the ID3 (and other) standards. Apple has not even defined genres in AAC. You are free to use whatever string you want for a genre.
iTunes will display whatever it finds in your song tags. If you create or inherit a song with the genre "Spanky-Foo Jazz" in it's ID3 tag (or equivalent), it will cheerfully make it available from that point on.
Other…
