StuffIt 2010 (Mac OS X)
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)
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)
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]

Safari140 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Sounded like an interesting tool. Then I saw the author.
Forget that. I'm so not touching it.
.... wonder where he got the code ....

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]

As it is stated in the price tag, this software costs (at least) $10.00. Thus, it shall not be listed as a freeware. [alert admin]

ScreenEdit 1.0.1 (Mac OS X)

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

Safari 4 Modifier 0.1 (Mac OS X)
"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.

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…

Consistently crashes Safari. There are other Adblocking software that function without these problems.

So how much faster do you actually need it? It sits there doing nothing most of the time, how fast can you actually IM, and in what way is Skype not keeping up with video and audio input and output? Your internet connection speed is a more limiting factor, but isn't any different than before you upgraded to 10.6. Yet you're not yelling at your ISP that you need your internet service to be "64-bit". I'm…

Simple. Don't use StuffIt Expander.
Your issue reflects more on StuffIt Expander than Mactracker. Don't use StuffIt Expander. Use Mac OS X's built-in zip archiver/extractor. Right-click the file, choose Open With... and select either "Archive Utility" or "BOMArchiveHelper" (depending on your OS version). Or better yet, Get Info on the file, and set Archive Utilty/BOMArchiveHelper as the default for all zip files.

And.... Apple is *not* saying they're not supporting 10.4 any more. Show me somewhere where they say that. In response, I'll show you QuickTime 7.6.2 for 10.4, Safari for 10.4, and so on. They're just not supporting 10.4 with iLife. They're not the first, either. Handbrake, VLC and other apps don't support 10.4. It doesn't invalidate your existing iLife 08. People seem to like to pretend that their current version is useless when the new one…

Whut? You're confused as to why GarageBand "needs" iLife? It's part of iLife. It's like saying, why does Mail.app require Mac OS X? You don't have to install the rest of iLife (iPhoto, iDVD, etc), but you want GarageBand, you buy iLife. It's been that way since the beginning, so why is this a problem now, especially when you've *never* been able to buy it separately? You've had 5 years already to get used to…

Oh wait. That seems to be a typo on their main homepage. Both MacUpdate and SourceForge are hosting only 1.5 downloads.
