Adobe Flash Player

Streaming direct via Flash requires 20% of my dual core 2.6MHz processor
If i download the .m4A file and play back through iTunes it only requires 3.5% of my processor power.
Seriously flash must die!

Monochrome sidebar/toolbar icons
For me the monochrome look is just AWFUL! I spent ages trying to find a hack to bring colour back to my Finder sidebar now Forklift has the same same drab monochrome icons!!! The point of a GUI is to allow ease of use taking colour icons away is neither a fix nor improvement.
The issue here is that the DEV has not allowed a choice. Those colour side bar icons are still in the system somewhere, how about a preference to turn them on?

I have a skype out number so I'm not subject to all the adverts. I can understand why some people are upset about the GUI and certain functionality. However if you want to see something really ugly and unintuitive then go and have a look at the Windowz version...... that is truly awful!

I know you hate Flash but is this loathing spreading to all adobe products?

ForkLift
Rich K. reviewed on 22 Nov 2010
With the launch of Forklift 2.0 we now have 3 products that don't everything they could!
Finder - burns disks but no dual pane view nor FTP
Pathfinder - burns discs, has dual pane view but no FTP
Forklift - doesn't burn discs, has dual pane view and FTP
With all due respect why cant somebody just make a program that does all three things?
Also an early beta of forklift (v2 or3) had size sliders in Icon view at the bottom right of the window like Finder has, this functionality has since disappeared !!!????
I can see a massive amount of time and effort has been spent on this app but in the end it is still not a single solution to a problem that requires at least 2 apps to solve.
So i'll stick with FInder and Forklift v1.7.8 for the time being,

USB Overdrive X
I used version 2 for many years with my 5 button mouse but since the dev changed the interface and other things in ver 3 things have gone downhill. The UI looks like some kind of convoluted Microsocks UI with multiple hidden menus and options plus I wasted a day of my life due to a conflict with the griffin Powermate and now I have had to uninstall it completely due to a conflict with the Apple Magic Trackpad.
I paid the dev for a license for v2 and upgrade to v3 and i think it was worth it for 8 years of extra mouse functionality, but now its time to say goodbye and try to find a driver which doesn't conflict with the Magic trackpad.
Adios USB Overdrive, I knew you well........
