Hawkscope 0.6.0 (Mac OS X)
What is a system tray? [alert admin]

AudioLeak 3.0.5 (Mac OS X)
I tried out this little app today and it seems pretty slick. Then, I opened my home folder and found a folder named AudioLeak inside. Why do developers seem to overlook Apple developer frameworks for file storage? Why not put the folder inside Library while you're at it? Or the root of the HD? Ugh. [alert admin]

StuffIt Expander 13.0.3 (Mac OS X)
bad reviews? why not wipe them out!!!
There has been a lot of public backlash against Stuffit, especially since Smith Micro took over the product. I keep a copy of Expander around to open legacy files but have moved on from the Stuffit format long ago. What surprised me was finding that all of the feedback has recently been erased from VT on the Stuffit products. I guess CNet is OK with scrubbing user feedback when it reflects poorly on a product from a large company. [alert admin]

Skyrocket 1.3 (Mac OS X)
AWESOME on PPC, studders in Intel 
I LOVE this screensaver! It's one of the coolest examples of fireworks modeling I've ever seen. Sadly, after finally upgrading from a G4 PowerBook to an Intel MacBook I've found that this saver studders horribly on my 2.4GHz C2D with 4GB RAM. The price is right, and I hope the developer updates this very cool saver. [alert admin]

StuffIt Expander 13.0.1 (Mac OS X)
!!! NOW with unnecessary installer !!!
In the spirit of the kind person who posted the direct link for downloading, here is how to install Expander without running the pointless installer: Control-click the installer and choose Show Package Contents Navigate to Contents -> Resources -> Payload Drag either the Stuffit folder or the Stuffit Expander app to your Utilities folder I keep this lame app around to open legacy archives, but Smith Micro makes it nearly impossible to not hate them for constantly making simple things more complex with every release.

Refurb Store 1.5 (Mac OS X)
I really like the look of this widget, but if the list is longer than your screen there is no evident way to resize it. [alert admin]

DVD Spanner 1.0 (Mac OS X)
After reading the feedback for this app, I think the posters might like Folder Splitter instead. It will divide your files up into folders of whatever size you want (DVD, CD, etc) and then you can burn the folders manually. This would help avoid any burning issues with bad discs, etc. [alert admin]

Posterino 1.1.2 (Mac OS X)
Charge for every Postcard printed
Wow. These guys charge you for every postcard you print after the first 3, and the prices are similar to what you would pay for a postcard in a shop ($3.99 USD to print 1) while you still pick up the tab for card stock, printer, ink, cost of the app, and time to compose the card. I'm the kind of person who gets a bit disgusted by profiteering on this level and maybe you are too. [alert admin]

Harmony Remote 7.3.0 (Mac OS X)
Love the remote, Hate the software 
I am baffled why Harmony would take something that worked by simply logging into their website and complicate it by building the most cumbersome, ugly, and un-Maclike application I have ever seen. If I was a new Harmony Remote owner and didn't know about the 'good old days' I would be completely turned off by this product. But... the remote is really cool! Major points off for an awful installation and update application for Macs. [alert admin]

Vienna 2.1.0.2101 (Mac OS X)
After switching from NetNewsWire recently, I'm loving this app! And the price is right, too. [alert admin]

This is probably not the best forum to comment on the design of this app, but I agree that while this is a handy tool I don't use widgets and therefore don't get to use it.

I love this free app! For some, using the Option key at startup gets the job done. I keep some libraries on disk images which automatically mount when iPhoto Buddy opens up and provides me with a nice GUI to switch between libraries, so this app is really useful to me.

Also, Border cannot be removed now.
In this latest version, it seems I cannot uncheck the option to remove the border around the map. I tried removing the plugin and it's preferences in reinstalling with no improvement.

I like this app a lot, but I have problems with it working in Firefox. When I run the Bwana standalone app it then opens Safari even though it is not my default browser. If this was your issue, any chance of you passing along the solution?

The lack of combo updater means you must run 11 updates after doing a fresh install of MS Office 2004. Totally stupid. A complete waste of time. They should know better.

Sorry, but this still sucks...!
I just deleted those annoying apps and folders and installed 7.4.1 from scratch, and remoteapp as well as the 2 folders are still created. Along with some of the persistent bugs (data entry hangs sometimes, etc) this is especially sloppy software. It's a shame, because the remotes rock.

This guy is a troll. Check his posts.
I fell into the trap once of responding reasonably to one of his posts before looking into his posting history. Don't waste your time with these diluted rants, he's just that crazy old guy who keeps the local kid's soccer ball if it lands in his back yard.

Apparently you think your laundry list of credentials, including a plane crash, give you some kind of expert authority to review this freeware application. It is strange to me that with all your years experience you would take the time to write this lengthy 'review' basically saying that this application serves no purpose for you. Funny... I was here to eagerly download the latest version of a free application that I and my friends appreciate and…

Can you sell me some snake oil as well?
If you bothered to read the developers blog you would find that this software uses a proprietary method to distribute the data on the disc and includes hidden recovery blocks (think PAR files) to help if the disc does become damaged. Personally I would still not use optical for archival purposes, but this product is by no means 'snake oil' and the poster of this comment is a troll.

Superb software and ASTOUNDINGLY overpriced
I agree, this product is way overpriced for home use. But setting up Apple's built-in FTP is incredibly painful and limiting, so suggesting it is an alternative to something like Rumpus isn't very helpful in this context.
