The price hasn't changed :)
I only wish it was a service under Lion. Still, for the cost, you can't go wrong.
FoxTrot Professional Search
Offline reviewed on 04 Oct 2011
This is the equivalent product to DTSearch on Windows and performs just as well.
It indexes files and content (including system files in both Libraries) so you can look for any word or phrase and expect a return set of what it found and where.
It's so fast and the results so complete (on my early 2008 MacBook Pro) that no other desktop search product is worth paying for.
My sole regret is the lack of responsiveness of the developers.
But it's a hell of a product!

BetterTouchTool

The software said it wasn't compatible with Drive Pulse which I run (Part of Drive Genius) and saved my butt several times-- then launched anyway.
If you already know there's a conflict, you should offer the user the choice of NOT running your program.
The author claims he doesn't know if he can fix this...
Toast Titanium
This is NOT an updater. This is version 11.02, which is not available on Roxio's site.
It installed fine over my 11.01.
Still odd: no mention of the new version on Roxio's site.

Change Desktop

It crashes a lot, though, and sometimes removes itself from my login list (which I find interesting).
As a photographer, I enjoy my own work and this allows me to view my pictures on my desktop as wallpaper, promised but never completely satisfied by Apple.
As a free product, there's little reason to develop it further (except for one's pride in their work).
I can only hope others are donating as well as an incentive to the author.

VueScan
Offline reviewed on 27 Nov 2010
This is the most dependable, flexible and useful program I've ever used for it's specialized purpose.
When Nikon abandoned NikonScan, VueScan was still there. It works on every film scanner and flatbed scanner I've owned (I go through them at an alarming rate because consumer items weren't designed to run 12 hours a day without a break).
What makes this product really unique, however, is the developer, Ed Hamrick, who will respond to your problems quickly if you send him an email, problem description and log.
Ed cares about his product. Quality appears to matter to him (Microsoft's 'good enough' philosophy doesn't work when you, as an individual, stand behind your product) and for that, I'm grateful.
Free lifetime upgrades with registration! Who else will offer that to you?
This is an outstanding product and you should license a copy. Now.

AstoundSound Expander
Offline reviewed on 17 Sep 2010
With the system idle, it is using 5.20% of my CPU.
Regarding CPU time, on the boot after installing it, I see it's second highest user of the launchd processes:
CleanApp Daemon is #1, followed by AstoundStereo, followed by WindowServer and everything else I run on my MacBook Pro.
It would appear that process efficiency is unrelated to Snow Leopard compatibility.
It works. The sound gets louder as I increase the 'power' on the pre-amp. It's unclear as to how the sound is modified between the 3 choices: movies, music and games.
But let's stay with music: I would expect acoustic guitar to have a different profile from an electric bass. I'd expect a piano to have a different configuration from an a-capella group.
If such exists, it's hidden. This is hard stuff to get right and there's a trade-off between being easy to use and trying to accurately reproduce the sound, given your hardware (how does it know if I have a sub-woofer and if it is handling the lows properly without booming? The documentation doesn't say, nor does it refer to such.
I'm unsure what this product does. That's not a good place to be.

I'm very disappointed with this product that was promising when first introduced.
