Spyder 1.4.32 (Mac OS X)

Good Idea - doesn't seem like even a 1.0 release though.  

I'd like to stress that the layout and idea behind this program is great - and to the developer(s) you're doing a good job. I also realize that myspace has some VERY slow connection speeds, and that is going to interfere with your information loading. That said - there should be SOME way to parse data without locking up the UI. Unfortunately as things are loading the rest of the program just ceases to function. Unfortunately, particularly with no cached data - it seems like the program is no longer responding (it is). At the very least I would suggest adding some kind of progress bar - perhaps there is and i missed it. Secondarily - Setting some standard menu shortcuts would be a good idea. When a user wants to reply to a message, many will go for the mail key combo. Having to touch the menu for basic tasks is cubersome. Also - there seems to be superfluous visual data in the itunes like lcd display portion, making that clickable to go to a given area would satisfy expected behaviour. They look like clickable objects. You have laid some great groundwork here, and I hope to see the continuing improvement. There are two reasons I won't be purchasing the software. The first is the lack of usability due to constant ui lockups caused by data fetching. Maybe you can add a one time huge update so teh incremental updates won't impact so much. The second reason is the price. As much as I feel developers need to be rewarded - and pay for my mac applications/donate to opensource. The price is too much for someone like me - just a myspace user. Perhaps if your target audience is bands, politicians, etc - i can see it - but to basically pay that price to not use a web browser - I really feel you'd have more success about $1 0 less. Obviously - value is in the eye of the beholder - and in no way do my thoughts on the product price reflect your hard work - its just a niche product that has a singular use - and used mostly for recreation - and all of the functionality can be not only replicated online, but faster at this point. Again, I look forward to seeing the progress with this program, and you've definitely got a good start. [alert admin]

QuickSpace X 0.5 (Mac OS X)

mindspring?  

Why does this need to connect to what appears to be a cable modem upon launch - very shady. [alert admin]
