Curio 4.2.4 (Mac OS X)
Works well for me ... always has 
This is a review of Curio ... all versions. I just downloaded the 4.2.4 release, and I will be using it. Claiming that an application is worthless because you loose some data is pointless ... unless it happens ALL THE TIME. Not saying it didn't hurt ... it always does unless you back up your data regularly. I run Apple Backup every day on my curio files every day. I have never had to use any of those backups. I have used Curio for quite awhile, and I find it very useful for what I do. It does have a lot of features that I do not use, yet. I wish I had more time to play with it and get really comfortable with all the things it does ... but I work, and for that work, Curio is very helpful. BTW, I'm a graphic designer (30 yrs worth), and I have been using Macs since the Mac Classic. I do know a good useful application when I find it. I give it 5 stars ... because I KNOW it works.

Curio 4.2.2 (Mac OS X)
Title says it all. I'm a graphic designer and I love this program. I find it very useful at work, and at home. I really could care less if someone else likes it, loves it, or hates it. BTW ... I could care less if it did MIND MAPPING or not! If you want to do MIND MAPPING ... do it in private or keep it to yourself, LOL. Sounds like some kind of body snatching thing anyway. JK ... chill out ... I'm not serious. I don't use mind mapping. Seriously, I love the program. I was not happy with the upgrade price and probably could have lived with 3.x ... but heck ... I like these guys, and MAYBE THEY WILL GET A CLUE ... IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE! Hope you're listening. My boss was totally disappointed with the cost ... much less paying for me to upgrade. I bought it myself [that's one out of five people who MIGHT have purchased it if it wouldn't have cost of over $650 bucks!), because I FIND IT USEFUL. Nuff said. It works WELL, it's stable, and does a lot of things that are pretty dang cool. Love it, or leave it alone. 4 stars ... because it's [rrrrr] expensive. [alert admin]

EyeTV 3.0 (Mac OS X)
I love my EyeTV. The current software works fine for me, and I see no "need" to upgrade. I would probably not even flinch at a $19.95 upgrade price, but twice that is enough to make me hesitate and say "no thanks". Some day I may upgrade my computer, but before that happens, I'm not willing to shell out $40 bucks for software I don't need. I'm disappointed that I can't upgrade for some of the features that might be cool to have, but that's the way it goes I guess. "Customer support" is important to some companies. Obviously, it's not important enough to Elgato to give their loyal customers better deal. [alert admin]

TabletDraw 0.8 (Mac OS X)
Not to shabby ... keep working 
A little background ... I've been using Painter since version one. It's my primary app for creating natural media art on the Mac, and I have used it for many, many years. I would say Painter it is THE #1 application for ANY kind of art on Mac or Windowz for professional digital "artists". That being said, this is a pretty cool little application, and I stress "little" because the application size is much less than 1000 KB! It's a small app that can be used to create very nice art, and it works GREAT with a tablet. I only had to use it for a few minutes to know that if I were not using Painter all the time, I could have a WHOLE LOT OF FUN making art with TabletDraw. If you don't already have an investment (since Painter is NOT cheap), and want to try DRAWING on your computer with a tablet, you should download this application and have some fun, I recommend it.

Blendit Theme 1.1.7 (Mac OS X)
This is one of the coolest themes I have ever seen — and used — for Rapidweaver. Well worth the small registration fee. Great support ... cutting edge design/programming. [alert admin]

Curio 3.2 (Mac OS X)
I've only been using this app for a couple of days, and all I can say is WOW. This is a very slick application ... very useful for the kind of work I do (Graphic Design/Illustration/Advertising). I haven't had any problems with it, and have enjoyed every minute working with it. The only thing I can think of that would make it more useful to me ... Add a calendar -- and the ability to auto paste dates and time into documents. This would be very helpful and would speed up data I need to enter often in my notes. I'm going to work this app hard for the full demo period, but I think I can say I'm 99.9% sure I'm going to purchase a professional version of Curio ... and I will recommend it to the people I work with.

WoW Status 1.2.5 (Mac OS X)
ALL NA WoW servers are down [right now], and will be for the next few hours. Launching World of Warcraft shows they are offline, and unavailable. This app, WoW Status, is not indicating they are off. What's up with that? This is one of those times when real server status in the menu bar would be FANTASTIC ... but it's not working. [alert admin]

Pod2Go 1.1.2 (Mac OS X)
Downloaded, set-up, used it without a hitch. I'm very impressed, and have registered. Every iPod owner should have this. I'm giving 4 stars ... because every app developer should have something to shoot for. (It's really a 5 star app!) [alert admin]

Synergy 1.5b (Mac OS X)
This 1.5b version is working pretty good. Noticable improvement. I was just saying to myself yesterday, that I think an update is needed for compatability with iTunes 4.7 ... and today, here it is! Great. [alert admin]

StickyBrain 3.0 (Mac OS X)
First, I think this update was posted this morning ... so a little patience would be advised. If they are having difficulties, I'm sure they will sort it out as soon as possible ... it's in their best interest to do so. Second, I downloaded Stickybrain 3.x this morning, and the download was fine. Install was fine, and I am happy to say that the program appears to be very nice. Haven't had an opportunity to really push it or dig in deep, but on the surface I like what I see. Give them some time to work out this web related glitch, and I'm sure you will be happy when you can download the program and check it out. I have been using Chronos products for YEARS, and I have always been happy with their products. I am a registered user of Organizer, F10 and Stickybrain. [alert admin]

<Every computer painting program has been the same since MacPaint, useless.> Having used Painter as a professional illustrator for over 15 years, this comment does not even deserve attention ... However, I will tell you this, your wrong PERIOD. <There's just no purpose to them, maybe to keep a 5 year old busy.> I have made literally thousands, and thousands of dollars using painter. A 5 year old cannot use this program, it is too complex, even…

You might try choosing "Go to Developers Site" before you download software, can't figure it out, and give it a poor rating. Since you have no hesitation to slam the developer without looking for the documentation and tutorial online ... I would have to say, it is you who is lame sir.
