Xtorrent 1.1 (53) (Mac OS X)
ABANDONED: Do NOT hand over any money. 
This product has been abandoned by the developer. Do not pay money for it. Unfortunately, the developer is so morally bankrupt that even though he does not plan to fix the major issues that are still present (he cannot fix them, because the project which provided the original code has changed their code license to prevent him exploiting their work), he continues to run the website with no notification that the product is dead. So if some poor schmo comes along and pays their money without realizing it's a dead product, who is he to deny them the pleasure of giving him money? Sadly, this is "David Watanabe, Business As Usual". He will be on to his next future-abandonware, and the cycle will continue. AVOID. And if you have been stung, call your local law enforcement authorities, or contact the Internet Crime Complaint Center at: http://www.ic3.gov [alert admin]

Audacity X 1.3.5 (Mac OS X)
I really wish they'd release a Stable version of 1.3 (note the upper-case "S"); their website still recommends the 2-3 year old 1.2.x for daily use. It's a great product, but going on 2.5 years development for this version. 2.5 years is a long time in software. I mean, around 2.5 years ago, when the first 1.3.x was coming out, Apple was announcing video-capable iPods. So, um yeah, been a while. And I don't know what they're going to call it when they do release it, since they've been using the more usual release numbering for their betas. This 1.3.5 is effectively 1.3b6. [alert admin]

Circus Ponies NoteBook 2.1 v268 (Mac OS X)
NoteBook is a really great product, but (and I know this is nit-picking) I think it's time to bump up the version number, because they've been fluffing around with "2.1" for almost 2 years. It's hard to remember what you've got when they insist on using build numbers. 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.2... try it out and leave the stupid numbering systems to Mozilla and their products that don't break through to n.0.1 (I realize they're reserving certain digits for security updates, others for feature updates, others for significant product changes, etc, but they never use them; "2.0.0.14" is just stupid).

ooVoo 1.2.0.88 (Mac OS X)
Pass. Nothing we haven't seen multiple times already.
Do we really need more chat systems that don't interoperate?

PithHelmet 2.8.3 (Mac OS X)
PithHelmet (or SIMBL) disables Safari's resizable text fields. Moved /Library/Application Support/SIMBL somewhere else, relaunched Safari and they're back. Looks like you have to choose until a fix comes out. [alert admin]

Meetro 0.66 (Mac OS X)
Ah yes, whatever happened to this? They made a big splash, released a program that was buggy as hell, and then nada for almost 2 years. I wonder if anyone still uses this, or if the company is even still running anymore... Oh well, easy come, easy go. Next!? (I feel like Simon Cowell...) [alert admin]

>>You wrote: The release notes say: "compatible with Safari 3.1.1 on Mac OS X 10.5". >>Fair enough, but it does not say, "Incompatible with 10.4.11", or similar, as it should if does not work on Tiger It does say "Incompatible with 10.4.11, or similar", by virtue of the fact that it says "compatible with Safari 3.1.1 on Mac OS X 10.5". Should it also say "Incompatible with 10.4.10, 10.4.9, 10.4.8, 10.4.7... 10.3, 10.2, 10.1, 10.0, Public Beta,…

Get MacTheRipper and Handbrake because they're free, and then buy VisualHub, making it average out to something like $8 each. Handbrake does a lot of good stuff, but sometimes you want to just duplicate a DVD, or you find you need to put it into some other format, not just H.264 all the time (which isn't even the default in Handbrake). For example, to put video onto certain set-top boxes, or convert into certain MPEG formats,…

The release notes say: "compatible with Safari 3.1.1 on Mac OS X 10.5". Safari 3.1.1 on Leopard and on Tiger are two different beasties. That's why there's separate updates/downloads for them. It would be incorrect to assume that anything that works in Safari 3.1.1 on Leopard will work in Safari 3.1.1 on Tiger... as you've just discovered. Remember this for the future.

It also crashes on quit with alarming regularity.

Well, just answered my own question. Everything on the Meetro website except the front page is missing: 404. Bye Meetro. Not really sure what you were good for to begin with...

Whatever.
Nobody said it was for kids, and the original commercial version was rated like M and 15+ and such. Screaming like a Church Lady about "won't someone please think of the children?" will annoy more people than it will help. I'm already annoyed.
And as usual, parents should be monitoring what their kids do. All these filters and blockers and laws that are designed to "protect" children are nonsense. They are not 100% and they…

Agreed. I guess I'm just not "social" or "Web 2.0" enough to want or need to have the equivalent of 14 different sites running simultaneously, and to sit there eagerly waiting for one of them to blip at me to prove how popular I am. I mean, it seems to do what it says it will do, and seems like it does it well. It's just that I don't really want to do what it does.…
