MenuCalendarClock iCal

Schmiegel reviewed on 02 Nov 2011

Desperately needs an update. UI is totally out of time (wow, still pinstripes ...). Same price as fantastical? You're kidding!

Smart Scroll

3.8.3 seems to be very choppy on safari 5.1. Needs a lot of work I think.

Apple OS X Lion

Will not update until iCal and Addressbook get new skins.
Unbelievable …

Steve want's apps that allow everyone to do everything, but some things have to stay "pro".

Adobe Flash Player

Schmiegel reviewed on 17 May 2011

Fullscreen video still stutters. Went back to 10.1. Can't tell you how much I hate it, puhhh …

Adobe Flash Player

Schmiegel reviewed on 20 Feb 2011

After years of pain with flashplayer on Mac it isn’t easy to stay polite and I can’t believe that the Adobe people can’t do it better. I think they don’t want it better. Flash 10.2.152 uses 43 % CPU on my iMac 2,8 Core2Duo / Safari to play video on zattoo.com (european IP-TV), fullscreen video stutters. 10.1 plays smooth at 26 % CPU. The same video on Chrome (latest beta) with internal plugin uses nearly 90% CPU, but fullscreen is smooth, really.
BTW another free software like „Movist“ (mPlayer) uses 13% CPU for playing a same sized video.
I made a script for my PowerBook G4 to change between Flash 9 and 10.1 because video plays nearly smooth with 9 but can’t use streetview for example. And why offers Adobe only Flash 9 for PPC, now that they dropped support. 10.1 runs, even if not well. I really can’t believe how bad the support of the Mac users by Adobe is and if a developer doesn’t WANT to make a good product it’s the best way to ban it.

Hotspot Shield

Injecting adds and installing itself as a login item everytime you start it up. No ...

EvoBarcode

If you go to developers site you will see that it doesn't work with integrated iSights.
Dev could add that to the promo text.

Works with my Casio and video output.

Vidi

I use the Formac TVR (first series, old firmware) on my Intel iMac and 10.6.4 with vidi. DV.Converter and internal tuner work fine.

I think you have to buy the device to get the firmware version but as I said watching/recording tv and listening to radio is possible with older ones; converting videos too. Mine is: "Formac Studio DV/TV (1.0.5)Tuner: Philips FM1216 B/G FM-Radio". You need the new firmware for some special functions and update is only possible by the Formac people (if they do it anymore).

Smart Scroll

Schmiegel had trouble on 01 Aug 2011

Anyone else having heavy traffic, blocking with Google Reader and Smart Scroll extension activated? Maybe only in interaction with 1Password extension.
