Flappie

CMUviolin reviewed on 01 May 2007

Where do I start. I was all excited to have a little pet to take care of. I was so wrong. He was cute to begin with, and then got very very annoying. He is said to evolve, but i highly doubt that is true. My guess is that it is a joke saying he will evolve like humans did throughout millions of years. I made sure flappie was well feed, I always played with him, everything was perfect, but now he is dead. This was not worth my time, and unless there is an update to flappie, I will be deleting this widget.

CharacterPal

CMUviolin reviewed on 24 Apr 2007

nice job. I use this daily, the only part I have a problem with is the copy and paste. When I drag the character, it just copies the keyboard combo. I also would like to see a way of just using the character without HTML codes. Other then that, I love it.

SuperTuxKart

CMUviolin reviewed on 30 Mar 2007

Not bad. Graphics are a little boxy, and everything is very plain. can't beat the price though. The one thing I do not like at all and the reason for deleting the program is that on my MacBook, the processor runs so hot that I hear my fan more then the game. If you can limit the processor use then I would be playing this all of the time.

MarioSaver

CMUviolin reviewed on 17 Feb 2007

Very poorly designed Screen saver. For people who haven't downloaded it yet, it is a clipped picture or Mario and Luigi (you can still see the white box around the character...at least crop out Mario and Luigi from the rest of the clipped image). Secondly the just jump out from the middle off the screen to the outside. They don't zoom past in any cool way and they don't actually run, it's just a cut image of him standing that moves.

sorry man, I am a nice guy, but just didn't like the screen saver. I didn't do more then say what the screen saver does though. I am sorry if I went to far, it was just one mans opinion.

fennel DVDManager

Having about 150 DVD's this is a dream come true. Not only does this help me keep track of all of my movies, but lets me know which ones are checked out, and who has it (working is Address Book). Thank you for the great software.

Magnum Opus

CMUviolin reviewed on 19 Dec 2006

First I would like to note that it is not the largest... "College and University Icons" has over 300

I had a hard time liking these icons. My main problem was that icons should be a photo or computer done. They aren't an actual photo, and with being computer done, they are not done artistically, only the same bland design repeated.

My other problem was that yes there is a lot of them, but many seem to repeat. for example 4 different Xserve's look almost identical, as well as multiple computers.

props to spending time on this project, I know myself how long it can take, but I felt as if I was surfing though the same icons repeatedly.

Chax

CMUviolin reviewed on 11 Dec 2006

without Chax, iChat is one of the worst chat programs out there, but with it, I wouldn't use any other. Chax makes chatting easier then ever before, and on a much cleaner environment.

Firefox

Great App. is now my main web browser. could use some more features like private browsing, but is the fastest and best looking one out there.

WeatherBug Local Weather

CMUviolin reviewed on 16 Oct 2006

Very nice, but will randomly use up a lot of CPU. I have a new Intel Core Duo iMac, and normally everything uses less then 1% of the Processor, untill WeatherBug, every 10 seconds or so will use over a quarter of the entire machine. It is a well made Widget, my only changes would be to make a larger forecast to show more then the next 3 days, and find a way to reduce the size of it. The Widget is the biggest program, over shadowing my main apps.
