MacKeeper

Alexiusca commented on 08 Aug 2011

I saw pop up ads for this with auto playing videos and honestly I thought this was a variant of Mac Defender. I'd stay far away from this. What a poor citizen of the Mac OS.

This point update improves the interface somewhat, but I'm absolutely sticking with the previous version until I have a reason to upgrade.

A good sign but not there yet!

[Version 5.1.0.914]

No Menu

You've got to be kidding me.

[Version 1.0]

DateLine

Alexiusca commented on 01 Mar 2011

Important Note: DateLine 1.0.x is the final release that will support Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. DateLine 1.1.0 and above will require 10.6 Snow Leopard and an Intel Mac.
▪ New features:
▪ DateLine now shows a dot or an outline for days that have Tasks as well as Events
▪ Events and Tasks can be indicated by a colored dot, which is now situated on top of the day mark dot
▪ Added a global hotkey to bring DateLine to the front, defaulting to Cmd-Opt-Ctrl-Spacebar
▪ Support for Caliander
▪ New floating Events and Tasks windows can be on screen at all times and have a number of interesting properties:
▪ Can be made trasparent to blend with your desktop background
▪ Will float on mouse over to allow quick acces to your events and tasks for any day in DateLine
▪ Can be collapsed to a simple window title bar for minimum visibility
▪ Many other small improvements
▪ Bugfixes:
▪ Dates with due Tasks now show the Task in both the attached window and the DateLine, even when there are no Events for that date
▪ DateLine now accepts first mouse correctly, fixing an annoying bug with selecting dates
▪ Fixed a bug where DateLine would remain floating after mouse exit

Apple iTunes

WARNING: 10.0.1 replaces the genius sidebar (which I found very useful for discovering new music) with a useless Ping sidebar. Be forewarned!

I reverted immediately.

Thanks for the reply, but I am looking to get the genius sidebar back. I love that thing!

Adobe Flash Player

Alexiusca reviewed on 23 Aug 2010

Wow. Was excited about the GPU acceleration but Flash is causing more beachballs in Safari than ever (yep, I have activity monitor opening and it shows flash taking 94% of CPU during these 5-10 second beachball moments).

So disappointing. Can't wait until I can remove the plugin entirely.
