iServices Trojan Removal Tool

Or, y'know...don't pirate software.

Logitech Control Center

iSkippy reviewed on 20 Jul 2008

The Logitech updater recently popped up and let me know of a new version of the Logitech Control Center software (funny, I thought I was using the latest version). Wanting to make sure I was up-to-date, I went ahead and updated. Big mistake. It went and deleted all the individual application settings I'd made, so now I have to go through and try to remember how I had everything set up. To make matters worse, now I can't seem to get my MX Revolution to scroll the way it did before the update.

Thanks a lot, Logitech. Your mouse is great but your software stinks.

Growl

iSkippy tipped on 07 Jun 2008

After updating Growl and reinstalling GrowlMail, I found it still wasn't coming up in the Mail preferences. I removed it and tried installing again, and still wound up nowhere. A tip I found on the Growl forums got it working though. If you've installed GrowlMail and it isn't appearing in Mail's preferences window, open the Terminal and paste in this command:

defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool YES

That should re-enable GrowlMail. At least, it did for me.

Adobe Flash Player

iSkippy commented on 21 Aug 2007

Granted, my computer is older (Sawtooth G4 upgraded to dual 1.2 GHz processors), but I've noticed the more I use sites that use Flash, the slower my Mac gets, until I log out or restart (looking at Activity Viewer, WindowServer will take up increasing amounts of my processors). After viewing an eight-minute YouTube video, my computer was all but unusable. At first I thought it might be related to Safari, but it happened last night in Firefox, too. I have no idea what's going on that making this happen, and, still being about three months away from the purchase of a new Mac, I'd like to know.

(I should mention that I e-mailed Adobe tech support about this, and was brushed off with a 'call this number' reply. They don't bother to care, I won't bother to call.)

Microsoft Desktop

iSkippy reviewed on 18 Jun 2007

Colour me impressed.

The first thing you will notice, as others have pointed out, is that Microsoft has finally implemented these as fully featured preference panes, rather than just launchers for applications. This is the way it's supposed to be; score one for Microsoft.

Also, there are a lot more commands available to assign to either keyboard keys or mouse buttons. Exposé commands are now offered natively under both IntelliType and IntelliPoint, as are commands for Spotlight, Dashboard, and Front Row.

I am quite impressed with this update. Say what you will about Windows and Office, but this is a solid driver and configuration package for Microsoft's hardware.

Wake Assist

iSkippy reviewed on 19 Feb 2007

My G4 hasn't experienced a single problem waking from sleep since I installed this a few days ago (it used to not come out of sleep at least once a week prior to installing this). Thanks!

Xconvert

iSkippy commented on 26 Jan 2007

Apple's Conversion widget supports a number of popular currencies, and I'm sure there are dozens of websites available for more obscure currencies (xe.com comes to mind), so why would anyone pay six bucks for this?

Brickles Pro

iSkippy reviewed on 02 Oct 2006

This looks like it's hardly changed since I played it on my LC back in '93.

Apologies to the author if you're offended, but it wasn't worth $25 then, and it certainly isn't worth $25 now.
