JunkMatcher 1.6.1 (Mac OS X)

NetShade 3.3.2 (Mac OS X)
Only works with Safari. The public proxy servers are slow and most of them fail authentication. The few that do work are very slow for browsing. You're better off with a direct connection unless you want to get on sites that have blocked your IP but be prepared to wait for the pages to load. [alert admin]

MakeiPhoneRingtone 1.3.1 (Mac OS X)
After trying several apps like iToner that claim to make custom ringtones for iTunes, I needed one that would actually work for my new iphone 3G and this little app came through. Just drag an AAC file on the window and it puts it in your itunes ringtones folder and then sync. Couldn't be simpler. [alert admin]

mAC3dec 1.6.3 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
Can no longer split AC3 into discreet tracks in Tiger. Desperately needs to be fixed. Anybody else know how to split AC3 channels on a Mac? [alert admin]

Toast Titanium 8.0 (Mac OS X)
Does not scale anamorphic 16:9 aspect ratio correctly on 4:3 screens!
After burning 16:9 sources onto a DVD-R and playing them on a normal 4:3 television, the framing is cropped. It DOES NOT scale down anamorphically and "letterbox" to preserve the original 16:9 framing. I have tried changing the source settings from 16:9 to 4:3 and it still does not convert the framing correctly. Have tested in multiple consumer DVD players and the result is the same. Somehow it is not setting the encoding flags correctly when converting the source video. Very annoying. And it uses square pixel encoding when transcoding the source video so it looks very "blocky" compared to the original source even at high quality settings. My advice is to use another transcoder if you want to do any format conversions and use Toast only to burn to disc. It's a great app, I've used it for many years, but its built in transcoder in version 8 is crap. [alert admin]

Apple Safari 1.3.2 (Mac OS X)
Safari is SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I have been using Apple's Safari ever since upgrading from Jaguar and it is ridiculously SLOW not to mention that it is a memory HOG. If you want a browser with fast loading and ease of navigation then I suggest you check out Mozilla Firefox instead. I'm very disappointed in Apple. [alert admin]

MenuMeters 1.1.1 (Mac OS X)
Does the same as Apple's Activity Monitor
Does everything that Apple's Activity Monitor (located in the Utilities folder) does. The only advantage this little app has is that it will display customizable graphs in the toolbar at all times instead of running one big annoying backround window. Apple take note. [alert admin]

Toast Titanium 6.0 (Mac OS X)
SSSSSSLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!
Toast 6 is a major downgrade from version 5. It burns DVD's TWICE AS SLOW as version 5. There is no Time Remaining indicator to tell you how long it will take to complete the burn, just a color bar that crawls along at a snails pace. It took nearly 50 minutes to burn a full DVD in Toast 6 at 2x speed, the same DVD took only 20 minutes in Toast 5 at 2x. The interface just sucks. Fortunately I haven't upgraded to Panther so I can still use my beloved Toast 5 Titanium which has been an invaluable and stellar app since I got it. A big thumbs down to Roxio for putting out this crappy downgrade in the guise of Toast 6. [alert admin]

Pocket Watch X 1.0 (Mac OS X)
robust as MTNewswatcher. Cannot sort articles and lacks many of the user selectable preferences that make MTNewswatcher superior. This is an entry level generic newsreader for newbies. [alert admin]
