PithHelmet

macupdate109 reviewed on 30 Jun 2007

Easily the best add-on hack ever. If you use Safari, you need this. You also need to send Mike Solomon $10 to encourage him to work on PithHelmet again.

[Version 2.6.7]

SlimBatteryMonitor

macupdate109 reviewed on 22 Mar 2007

Elegant. Light. Saves menu bar space compared to Apple's battery thing. Doesn't gobble up resources. Doesn't do anything unnecessary like graphs.

Perfect.

[Version 1.4]

Google Earth GUI Facelift

Gorgeous.

[Version 1.0]

Parallels Desktop

A real changelog showing exactly what has changed between individual released builds would be cool.

[Version 2.5.3186]

VISE X

macupdate109 reviewed on 16 Feb 2007

A VISE installer is a bit like the glue of a label that does not easily come off something you've just bought: annoying, and a certain way of finding out a company does not care about its customers.

VISE installers are vile pieces of crap that provide no easy way of seeing exactly what files are going to be installed. The interface is clumsy and has not significantly evolved since 1997. Some installers quit every other application before running - what is that about? Others crap files with bad permissions all over my disk, with no easy way of fixing those permissions. Please.

VISE is a practical joke Mindvision has been playing on the Mac community for too long. If you want me to take your product seriously and really, really require an installer, use Apple's.

[Version 3.2]

Canon Remote Capture X

macupdate109 reviewed on 29 Jan 2007

You know, it actually does what it says on the box. OK, it doesn't have tons of features, and while I wish it came as a simple drag and drop app, would enjoy it if it imported straight into Aperture or iPhoto, and was upset when it crashed on me when I quit, it works.

Ah, if only someone found the time to reverse-engineer the protocol and make something useful with it!

[Version 2.7.4r2]

Easy to use and nice looking. The people at Digium in Texas were making fun of me within minutes!

[Version 1.0beta v148M]

Windows Media Player X

why Vendor Lock-In and Proprietary Formats Suck: A short piece in one binary, by the Microsoft Mac unit. Yuk.

[Version 9]

Installer VISE

Macupdate109 commented on 14 Jan 2005

The more stupid the company, the worse the installer. If you see a VISE installer, you can bet the program is full of idiocy. Please don't use VISE. Please, please, please.

[Version 8.4]

UnPlugged

macupdate109 had trouble on 27 Mar 2006

This told me every couple of seconds that I was running on battery. I started it while already running on battery.
