500px Uploader

Chas_m reviewed on 09 May 2012

Why would I need this now that 500px is censoring nudes from the iPad app (there used to be a filter, now that option is gone and so are the photos), and actively trying to drive off professional photographers?

I don't need another outlet for LOLcat pics and adorable pets, thanks anyway 500px.

Mobile Me syncing? Really?

I know the service isn't dead yet, but how far away is June 30th? And that's the major selling point??

With the advent of MediaHuman Audio Converter, I can't see any reason for this software as it offers nothing over its competitors, some of which are free.

This has GOT to be copyright infringement of Tapper, surely.

CenterImages Safari Extension

Chas_m commented on 30 Sep 2011

Might just be me, but I immediately had issues with CenterImages 5.0: first, the toolbar appeared (despite being unchecked in prefs) and wouldn't go away until I check and then UNchecked the "show toolbar" command; next, it totally blocked images on an iTunes preview page. At that point I just turned it off.

It's certainly possible that it's conflicting with my adblocker or something, resulting in blank pages, but turning it off entirely IMMEDIATELY fixed the issues.

Let me make this simple for some of you that appear to be confused:

Downloading copyrighted files OF ANY KIND without the owner's permission and without payment IS ILLEGAL. Period. End of story.

If you want to buy music and other media legally, there's plenty of options and plenty of price points. Sometimes, bands and others deliberately make their songs available as downloads for free, but they do this themselves, on their web site, not on places like RapidShare and MediaFire. The files on those sites are not legal.

Use of this program exposes you to potential RIAA/MPAA lawsuits. While the risk is probably low, the cost for you unlucky ones will be in the thousands, and that's even if you are completely innocent. Is it worth the risk? That's a question only you can decide. I'm just giving you the facts.

Dear Apotek:

At the risk of sounding ungrateful, I'd really appreciate it if we didn't have to wait over a year for a fully-Lion-compatible version of this wonderful tool this time. Thank you.
