StuffIt 2010 (Mac OS X)

Let's see....  

What earth-shattering new ways that don't already exist to save precious floppy disk kilobytes could possibly warrant yet another release of an obsolete product? Yep... just as I thought. [alert admin]

WindowShade X 4.3 (Mac OS X)

Snow Leopard  

Apparently it will not work in Snow Leopard, and all questions regarding if or when it will be updates have been ignored. This is a fantastic application, but not for 10.6. [alert admin]

OpenOffice.org 3.1.0 (Mac OS X)

You want OOo for PPC?  

OpenOffice for PowerPC is not dead. If it was, why would there be 3.1 development builds here: http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/Dev_OOO310_m17/ OpenOffice 3.0 did not get enough feedback/UAT/sign-off to release. And 3.1 will be in the same boat if people just download it and don't actually provide feedback -- which is the entire point of releasing the beta versions in the first place; they don't release them just to give you a shiny present - you're supposed to cast a critical eye over it... then actually log bugs. http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=96028 You want OOo PPC? Get the betas, feed it back -- real feedback (not just "I love your program but I have PPC Mac. I would very much like a version for my Mac.") -- tell your friends to do the same. Do something about it, instead of just complaining. I work in the software testing business, and we cannot get release authorization without appropriate/sufficient User Acceptance Testing. However, it's probably indicative of the take-up of Intel Macs that they can't scrounge enough feedback on the PPC version. I've found the same -- of the fleet that I look after, PowerPC machines are now in the single-digits. So where am I to get people to sign off on releases for PPC users? So, although you may complain that they are abandoning PowerPC users, it is quite likely it's the users who are abandoning PowerPC, which isn't OOo's fault. They're just sitting there going "where is everybody?" If you've never logged a bug for OOo PPC, then *you* are the reason there's no 3.x for PPC (you cannot tell me you've never run into a bug in it). [alert admin]

Uh-oh  

Sounded like an interesting tool. Then I saw the author.

Forget that. I'm so not touching it.

AppleJack 1.5 (Mac OS X)

Version 1.5.1 is now available from the product homepage. I require all my family and friends to have AppleJack on their Macs before I will agree to support them. [alert admin]

So, what is the point of this software now, then? [alert admin]

Safari 4 Modifier 0.1 (Mac OS X)

"Quite a few Macs"?!  

"I have to set up quite a few Macs, and as I got tired of always using the terminal to change the hidden preferences of Safari 4". WHY on earth are you setting up Safari 4 on any kind of mass level? What, are you also unleashing the 10.5.7 beta update, and Firefox 3.1rc? That's just poor. Fine, you want to release something like this to tweak Safari. But the genesis of how it came about sounds like bad IT, particularly since, as you indicate, you're foisting its settings onto every machine you set up, regardless of whether the user wants them or not.

Apple getting as bad as Microsoft and Adobe.  

Don't worry, You'll f-u=c+k the applications up soon enough by renaming them. Then the Dock thing won't look so idiotic, will it? No. Because you'll broad jump them entirely.

It's used to represent "micro". As a character, it's pronounced "mew". You don't pronounce kgs as "kgs".

Simple. Don't use StuffIt Expander.  

Then the file you've downloaded is incomplete. Download it again. Applications like Archive Utility and even, god help me, Stuffit Expander do not crash on just regular uncorrupted files. They decompress millions of files a day on millions of machines and you're going to tell me that both of them have found the one COMPLETE file on the internet that neither of them can decompress? No. Go back and download it again, and make sure it finishes properly,…

Verification Error  

Your dmg is incomplete. If it doesn't mount without clicking "Skip", then the file you downloaded is damaged, and you're wasting time and only asking for trouble trying to install it anyway. It might seem like a "clever" little "workaround", but there's a reason these files are verified before use, and you've just walked into that very reason. Clicking Skip and then being surprised that it doesn't work is like downloading half an mp3 file and…

Yes. That's correct.  

The 12.2.1 update does not update the applications themselves. It only updates some support files, and so it doesn't make sense to update the apps if they're not actually changing. Restarting or relaunching Finder won't change this, because THE APPS AREN'T CHANGED. If you opened the applications and looked in the About window, you'd see that the 12.2.1 update is recognized as an "Installed Update" independent of the app version.

Shockwave Player versus Snow Leopard  

"(out-dated) 32-bit mode" Right. Because suddenly everything that was 32-bit is now obsolete and useless. You nobs and your 64-bit hard-on. 64-bit lets you access 8GB or more of RAM. What websites are you visiting that you simply must have Safari able to access that much memory? Could you even tell the difference between 64-bit and 32-bit modes? I seriously doubt it, but it would bother you just because you would want it to bother you. That…
