Apple App Store

CANCEL-MY-ACCOUNT---NO-APP-STORE! reviewed on 22 Jan 2011
Sucks. The start of the downfall of the Mac as an actual computer. Why would I intentionally cripple my software? Apps that have to abide by the same insipid rules like no add-on capability? I've been a Mac man since 1984 and I'm seriously considering for the first time of switching to a PC. You guys just keep moving more and more in the wrong direction. There was a time when Apple cared the most about their users.

Developers: Want to not make any money? Keep only offering your software through the App Store. Idiots.

"Trine is only available via the Mac App Store." Too bad. My money is only spent via Argentinian Bank Accounts. Idiots.

Only available via the App Store. Well, I guess I won't be buying it then. The Mac is not a mobile device! I will not intentionally cripple it.

From the App Store only? But... I use a computer! Just give us a link! Why go through a heavily restricted App Store unnecessarily?!?!?

OMG. Pro tip: Have at least one person with at least a high school degree on your team. This is worse than a "Skype 0.1b".

Parallels Desktop
CANCEL-MY-ACCOUNT---NO-APP-STORE! commented on 14 Sep 2010
Existing upgrades still $50? I got parallels when it first came out and switched to vbox after the 3rd upgrade. If I hadn't I would have now spent more on Parallels than many copies of Vista Ultimate. While it's nice they are working continuously, they're losing customers with their ridiculous upgrade pricing. Let me know when the home console version comes out and I'll just throw my $400 down then.

SpamCop Tool

CANCEL-MY-ACCOUNT---NO-APP-STORE! reviewed on 18 Feb 2010
I've seemed to get on the spam lists, after years of remaining below the radar and I'm at the point where I want to start fighting back.

I pulled out my copy of SpamX that I bought years ago and, of course it won't work as it needs to call home and apparently that home server is gone in favor of HSC's new product, Purify (I can't remember how much I paid for Sp@mX at the time, but I'm not too keen on buying *another* product when my first's support has been completely dropped).

So, I'm looking for another method to report spammers, but without spending any more money and again, all I want to be able to do is report spammers. One of my biggest features of Apple Mail is to be able to do this. It's nice to mark junk mail, now let us report it.

So I've registered at spamcop.net and set up SpamCop Tool with my spamcop report address. I select all of my junk emails in my junk folder, hit the "Report Spam" button on spamcop and bam. There you go. Not only reported to spamcop.net, but also spam@use.gov. Nice.

It's got a function where it will watch your junk folder and report, but it has to be left running and I don't get *that* much spam... yet.

For what I'm wanting to do (just report spam), this is great. The only thing I could ask for is for it to remove the email from the junk folder to the trash after reporting it (which it could very well do if handled from the timed watch function - it doesn't upon clicking the "Report Spam" button).

The documentation could be a little better too. There's a page on the site that shows the 3 preference panes, but doesn't explain what you're looking at (I'm still not sure what a "Master Reports Button" is).

Overall, we're fighting the scourge of the internet and we're doing it for free without having to do "show full headers - copy email - paste into page - send" for each email. It's extremely convenient (and satisfying) to simply select a spam email and report it with a click.

I should also mention with the talk of leopard in the what's new and comments that this was tested with OS X 10.6 and Apple Mail with no problems.

I *did* have to go into my charter account and manually allow emails sent to the spam.spamcop.net address as I'm assuming charter automatically blocks outgoing emails with spam in their address (although I got my registration email from them without problem earlier).

Apple Mac Pro Audio Update
CANCEL-MY-ACCOUNT---NO-APP-STORE! had trouble on 11 Feb 2010
Hmm. After updating, my keyboard volume controls only control the Built-in Output now, instead of whatever output is selected (like my Built-in Line Output which I've got the speakers plugged into).

Second restart fixed it. Odd.
