The Hit List
Itistoday reviewed on 02 Jun 2011
The author wants me to *pay* for the convenience of sending my THL items to be stored on his servers in the clear? You'd have to *pay me* to convince me to do that! Have we learned nothing about the value of our data and what kinds of disasters can happen? (Looking at you, Sony, and a thousand other compromised companies.)
Previously, I rated this as a 4 or 5 star app because it is my favorite GTD app. Now, I can only give it 3 stars, because to me, this is a much asked-for sync implementation is a step backwards.

"You can't be disappointed with the new synch feature because you've never tried the new synch feature"
Of course I can. I understand enough about how his sync feature works to pass judgement on it.
Does it securely store your data on his servers? No. It doesn't. End of story.

This is the best tool I've seen for creating disk images. Very robust, and I'm glad to see that the latest version can create good Leopard compatible disk images on Snow Leopard.
It makes creating fancy disk images a synch (not something that's easy to do manually).

Steam

But it's an absolutely terrible application, and that is what is being reviewed here, not Valve, not any of the games that run on it, but Steam, and Steam for Mac is horrible:
- Basically a very slow web browser
- Takes a ridiculously long amount of time to launch on the latest MBP
- Puts itself on your list of login items without asking
- Installs stuff into ~/Documents instead of ~/Library/Application Support/Steam
- Crashes
- Throws ads at you
In my experience it wasn't even able to complete the basic task of downloading a game (Portal). It stopped half-way through and hung, so I had to force-quit it.
The UI is horrendous. Even basic functionality like copy/paste doesn't work. When I clicked "remember password", where does it store it? Not in the Keychain, I have no idea, and I bet it's storing it somewhere in plaintext.
Conclusion: slow, broken, possibly insecure, and violates most OS X conventions.

Google Chrome

It claims it's the fastest thing on the block, yet Safari smokes this thing, even in javascript performance on *_Google_ Maps*!
And both Safari and Firefox use less CPU when looking at a YouTube video.
In terms of performance, it's OK, but the marketing hype leads us to believe this things amazing when it's not, and in fact is slower and more resource intensive than the stuff that's already out there. So to the browser I give 3 stars = average.

This is excellent software, it's simply perfect in its utility and unobtrusiveness, and, apparently, the speed with which its developer updates it! :-)

Hopefully they'll fix this major usability bug soon, but being blasted with advertisements while delivering this kind of quality (when better quality, ad-free alternatives like Vienna are around), leaves me to question whether it's worth switching at all. For now I'll stick with Vienna.

If the bugs are worked out I'll happily revise my review.
