I have a licensed copy of LIttle Snitch and it pretty much works as it is supposed to work. I use it whenever I add software that I'm a bit uncertain about, to see where it phones home.

What I can't understand is why all of the comments and reviews that are anything other than complimentary are getting consistently marked down in the comments. While the reviewers come to a somewhat negative conclusion, their remarks seem well thought out and even-handed. These are not trolls just hammering the software for no apparent reason, so why bump them down?

Makes me wonder if the negative marks are well-meaning fanboys who will hear no evil about their beloved Little Snitch, or if it's part of an effort by the developer to push negative reviews down the list. I trust that it's just fanboys, but they aren't doing the developer any favors.

Let's give the software on MacUpdate our honest assessment, and let the individual make the final decision about whether or not it's right for them.

Looks like a nice app, but it seems to have broken the cut and paste when using Dashboard on my system. I assume that this happens because it is intercepting Command X and Command V (since Dashboard runs under the Finder process. I thought about changing the shortcuts on the Preference dialog, but it looks like that would break some of the functionality.

Is there a way around this?
