VMware Fusion
VMWARE Fusion is the BEST and FATEST choice when virtualizing Mac OS X. (It supports not only Lion but also Leopard or Snow Leopard as the Guest OS.)
Virtualbox is the BEST choice when virtualizing Linux. (And if you cannot afford to spend $$, it is also the best choice when virtualizing Windows or Mac OS X).
Parallels is the best and fastest solution when virtualizing Windows. Parallels is also the best choice for Windows Games. But if speed is not an issue, VMWARE Fusion or Parallels are great choices (ie. for business apps).

I am glad I downloaded Version 4.1.0. I can always use that version to emulate Leopard and Snow Leopard.

Fluid
See http://www.macosxautomation.com/lion/websitepopup/index.html
For Leopard and Snow Leopard, see
http://mac101.net/content/how-to/automator-creating-services-in-snow-leopard/
Fluid does offer some additional features but many people probably do not need them.

iCleanMemory

If you really think it makes a difference manually freeing some memory, you do NOT need to buy a program like iCleanMemory. Just install the developer tools and type "purge" in the Terminal application.
Save you money. This app is unnecessary.

Snowtape
Robk reviewed on 23 Jul 2011
In my view, it is very "Mac like" and easy to use. The GUI is very pleasing to the eye.
Snowtape does a GREAT job at recording music and does a decent job at figuring out where each song starts and ends.
Since NO Internet recording software does a fantastic job, you must manually edit the track boundaries so the songs start and end at the right spots. This is where Snowtape REALLY FALLS SHORT. Snowtape REGULARLY Freezes and Crashes when editing more than a couple of songs. Sometimes Snowtape will UNFREEZE and come back to life after waiting 4 or 5 minutes. Sometimes it just crashes!!
Worst of all you will LOOSE all of our previous edits when Snowtape crashes. Until these bugs are fixed, I recommend that you QUIT and START UP Snowtape after editing 4 or 5 songs. That way, you will only loose 4 or 5 songs when Snowtape crashes (and believe me it will!!)
The Get ALbum Artwork feature is great when Snowtape cannot figure out which artwork to use. But it stopped working for me. It no longer shows any artwork (even when searching for the "Beatles").
I have been dragging and dropping artwork form Amazon instead but there is a small bug there too. When you drag and drop artwork, the thumbnail is NOT updated. You must switch to another playlist and switch back to see the artwork in the thumbnails.
With all the bugs, FREEZES and CRASHES, I can NOT recommend Snowtape at this time until these problems are fixed.
P.S. I did a fresh install on Snowtape on another Mac running Snow Leopard and the same bugs, CRASHES and FREEZES occur.
Pity. I really like the GUI and features of Snowtape. I just wished it worked better.

TNEFs Enough
Switched to Version 2.0 which runs just fine in Snow Leopard (using Rosetta). Now the proper files names are being displayed in the "Embedded Files" tab.
Installed TNEF v2.2 on a second Mac running Snow Leopard. Same problem
I would suggest that people avoid using version 2.2 and go back to version 2.0 until this bug is fixed. Version 2.0 runs just fine on Snow Leopard using Rosetta.
P.S. There is a similar program on the Mac App Store called Letter Opener Lite. I prefer it over TNEF but Letter Open Lite costs $7. If you want you can buy the full version of Letter Opener for $30 but I do not see the need (and I like to avoid using Apple Mail Plugins).
Apple Remote Desktop
In addition, the link to the Apple website brings up Remote Desktop v3.3.2 not v3.4.
Please fix.
XStreamRipper
Pity. But there is another FREE alternative. StreamRipStar. It is Java based so it is not as pretty but it does do a great job at ripping multiple streams.
iShout
iShout runs but NO stations appear in the interface and it does not appear that you can add any of your own.
RadioRecorder
RadioRecorder will rip the stream but it fails to add the song to iTunes. And when it fails at adding the song to iTunes, the song disappears from the Music folder.
It looks like it is no longer being developed. Pity.
