McAfee VirusScan 8.6.1 (Mac OS X)

Fan-freaking-tastic  

(BTW, that's not sarcasm) This finally brings the Mac into line with the rest of the McAfee suite, enabling it to be more properly managed by ePO. The previous version(s) were still somewhat consumer-focussed, and the ePO management only extended to some of the settings in VirusScan's Preferences. Those limitations, coupled with McAfee's habit of randomly changing the case (UPPER vs lower) of the files in their master FTP site has caused some havoc, particularly with sites such as ours where we mirror their FTP site locally to a different platform (their server seems to be Windows while ours is Linux), and the change in filename case screws up our clients' ability to update. I realize that the feature changes in 8.6.1 are of limited interest to end-users, but they're definitely good news for large-scale environments managed by IT, due to the improvements to ePO platform parity. It also demonstrates some commitment from McAfee to continue to actively develop their Mac version (IIRC, Apple developed the UI for Virex 7.2, which VirusScan 8.6 still uses, to replace McAfee's horrible Virex 7.0 UI).

Thank you for this fantastic software! Are there any plans to support other file types (Such as PES)? [alert admin]

ABC Amber PDF Converter 4.02 (Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 2000)

BEWARE: SCAM ARTIST.  

The creator of this software is a scam artist. Ordered it through SWREG, never sent me the software, then he started insulting me, calling me an idiot, etc. Wouldn't refund my purchase, and wouldn't send me the software. Wanted me to send him a written letter to Kazakhstan to get a refund. Postage would have cost as much as software. I finally had to reverse the charge through my credit card company. BEWARE: SCAM ARTIST. [alert admin]

Taply 1.3.2 (Mac OS X)

keeps what it promises  

I finally grew too annoyed of always having to wait soooo long until iTunes starts up on my G3 OS X 10.3.9 system, so this little gem is perfect. I hoped it would also stop my iBook's running noise, but that seems to stem from the harddisk reading. In order to hide the floating window, I use the application "dockless". [alert admin]

Security Task Manager 1.7e (Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 2000)

Security Task Manager  

Security Task Manager shows all active processes on your computer. You can easily recognize the endangering potential of each process. No other Task Manager or Process Viewer has this feature. Furthermore you can put a process into quarantine or search the internet for information about that process. [alert admin]

Join Together 5.1.2 (Mac OS X)

Not Leopard compatible  

Shows some strange behaviour when used in Leopard. Worked fine for me in Tiger. Please fix it! - Applescript errors - "pass through" option greyed out [alert admin]

FreeRAM XP Pro 1.5.2 (Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 2000)

Highly recommended  

Used this software for at least a year; it came recommended by a friend. I've noticed a lot more stability and my system is much faster. *note to admin... hit wrong button for my previous comment and can't figure out to delete it... [alert admin]

Afloat 1.0b4 (Mac OS X)

Is exactly what I needed  

This brilliant, minimalist app should enjoy more glory than its received. I was annoyed using OS X after using Linux because I couldn't assign a keyboard shortcut to hold down then drag a window from _anywhere_ within the window. Also that despite OS X being the first OS I used that did transparency and window effect correctly, I was astonished that Apple crippled the ability of users to use any of these cool features. Then along came Afloat, which allows for me to tap my keyboard and make a video window float above all other windows *and* automatically set a configurable amount of transparency, undoable with the same configurable keystroke. Or I can use my mouse wheel to dial in the amount of transparency dynamically as I work with windows throughout my workflow. This is brilliant for productivity. If I'm reading something from a webpage and typing into the Terminal or a text editor then I can leave a Camino window afloat (and still see through it) then type into the app below. Also, a nice touch is the window will fade into being opaque when a cursor is hovered over it so you get the best of both worlds when using the transparency feature. Unequivocally, Afloat make any Mac user even more productive unless that user is retarded and can't see the point or is unable to configure it (by default there is one option you have, On / Off –simple!). This app has never caused problems for me, never crashed, works with Adium / TextEdit / TextForge / iTerm / Terminal / Camino / Safari etc perfectly. I've been using the beta since a week or so after it was released. [alert admin]

Is This Worth The Upgrade?  

Unless the files you are trying to work with are 4GB or over, then a 64 bit version isn't going to do you a heap of good. People love to throw around this "need 64 bit" mantra, but without any actual understanding of what it means or why they need it. It does NOT mean "faster". BTW, you glossed over this: "- Adobe point out that the Windows version can run in either the 64 bit or…

Helvetica font displayed incorrectly in NO patch 4 version  

Just a couple of impressions from your post: * I'm not certain whether this is what you meant, but it sounded like you had installed Helvetica in the System fonts folder yourself. You should not ever install your own fonts into System > Library > Fonts. Your fonts should only be placed into Library > Fonts or Home > Library > Fonts. Particularly any fonts with the same names, as Apple's copies are designed to work…

This should still be in BETA!  

Please provide a list of example sites that are "broken" in Firefox 3. I have been using it for several days now, and have not spotted a single "broken" site. Since you make it sound so dire, one would expect to find "broken" sites wherever one turns, and so far, nada. Not a one. Not an image astray, not a line of text askew, not a pixel out of place. I didn't even change my profile,…

Needs work to be worth buying  

All of which confirms that Seatubes needs work to be worth buying, because if the document/URL/list stuff you mentioned is not intuitively clear from the beginning, then it needs to be. ie: don't blame the user for not understanding badly designed UI or paradigms.

Interesting...  

Remember that this is open-source software, and as such, regularly releases Stable versions that are pre-"1.0". They're not "betas" exactly, they're just releases with a number less than 1.0. There are plenty of pre-1.0 open-source projects that are at least as stable/complete/reliable as other closed-source products that are 1.x, 2.x, etc. The more confusing thing is why they've taken a leaf out of Mozilla's book (you know, the book where only the first and fourth digits…

English please  

Hint: "Télécharger" means "Download". That should really be obvious by hovering over the links. If you do run it, contact the developer and offer to provide translations. Just as contributors provide other language translations for other apps (eg: Adium, Senuti, etc), you could be the one to get this one into English.

GOOGLE EMPIRE BUILDING ON YOUR COMPUTER  

How else do you propose that Google Updater use itself to update itself? There needs to be another agent on the machine to allow swap-overs. Sparkle-enabled apps do the same thing - the Sparkle agent does the download, quits Adium/Transmission/whatever, installs the files, relaunches the new version. It's just that in this case, Sparkle is replaced by Google Updater, and Adium/Transmission/whatever is replaced by.... Google Updater. BTW, if you actually looked inside Google Updater, you would…

No workee since upgrade to leopard  

Perhaps you could provide something more substantial than "no workee". FWIW, Notifier has been working fine on my machine for months, including under Leopard. In the absence of anything more solid, the overwhelming likelihood is that it's something particular to you. Unless you've done such logical things as tossing preferences, removing keychain items and so forth, and have not only done them but can also specify what you tried and the results of each, asking for a…

It' Okay but could be better  

I really don't understand this need to have a 2-pane view. You know what your files look like; they're your files. And the system already has a way to manage and view your files locally, and it's better than any 2-pane client could come up with, so why duplicate that all over again? Transferring files between an smb/afp server doesn't open a separate mine/theirs view, neither does transferring stuff to/from an iPod, flash drive or…
