After completing the requested number of evolution steps, it displays some kind of result table, then whisks it off the screen before I can read it.
The Fitness table contains gigantic numbers that are too long even for the maximum width of the table column, no idea what this is intended to show me.
On second thought, I'd give it better marks in consideration of its being an early beta (TOO early for publication even as a beta, IMHO) but having once set the star ratings, MacUpdate's comments form does not seem to allow me to modify them, an egregious omission.
MacUpdate, please fix this.
Manpower
With Bwana installed, type in Safari's location field (where you'd type http://...) man:whatever, e.g. man:ls, and if it has a man page it'll be presented in a standard Safari window, nicely typeset and scrollable. Links in the man page to man pages for other UNIX resource are clickable, especially handy for See Also items and getting to config file man pages.
If you run the Bwana application itself, you can request it display an index of all man pages for browsing (takes a few minutes, so patience required; the next time you request the index, it'll be quite fast).

Google Earth
Take the Visit Developer's Site link at the top of this page, and wend your way down to the download page for OS X version. Near the top left of that page, below the images, turn off the Google Chrome checkbox, then near the bottom go for the "advanced setup" link above the buttons. From there it's obvious.
If they're Not Being Evil, that is.
PhotoSync
I can't even seems to get iTunes to ignore photos altogether when syncing.

VLC 1.1.10.1

Shortly after VLC 1.1.10, VideoLAN and the VLC development team present version 1.1.10.1, which includes small fixes for the Mac OS X port such as disappearing repeat buttons and restored Freebox TV access. Additionally, the installation size was reduced by up to 30 MB.
See the release notes for more information on the additional improvements included from VLC 1.1.10.

I hope these guys get it together someday soon. Version numbering is not rocket science.

>---Fix build number on OSX
Yeah, I read that before I installed. Was expecting build 2.somethingelse. Was not expecting a regression in the number.
With 3 computers to maintain here, and a couple I help with overseas, having to remember that _this_ particular software has a revision regression is just one more gotcha, one more time sink. Will be worse for a lot of users than for me.

I wish they just gone to 2.0 across the board and explained "No real functionality change, but we needed to do this to keep Apple's API's/update mechanism happy. We'll be good and make minor rev number changes when the functionality changes are only minor, from now on". Then regression numbers would not have had to reverse course as we march into the glorious 2.x future.
I'm not using MUD. I forget where the OS showed a 2.something, maybe in a file name or dmg version. Any time you get inconsistent data in a program or surrounding mechanisms, you run the risk of error or confusion. Having seen (and corrected, both in R&D and in Support) the problems it can cause over the years, I'm pretty sensitive to issues like this. They can cost.
BTW, I do like DropBox, I just don't like this particular decision.
