Citrix Receiver

Simty reviewed on 21 Oct 2011

This came out months ago. As has already been pointed out, this replaces the old Citrix Online Plug-in. The main difference seems to be the installation and set-up. It was so convoluted under the old online plug-in you had to make sure you had the right version of JAVA installed just to run the installer. After that it never worked until you manually started the plug-in which was buried deep in the recesses of Mac OS. A normal user had absolutely no chance. It was like going back to 1997. Then there was the Citrix support or rather lack of it. The impenetrable Citrix website is anathema to the slickness and clarity that is Apple. Citrix make so many products and it is absolutely impossible to deduce what they all do, how (or if) they work together or how to use them. The Citrix website is completely impossible for anyone who doesn't work for Citrix to use and Citrix seem to be completely incapable of seeing their product miasma through the mind of someone coming to the Citrix universe for the first time. It's so opposite to Apple it's incredible.

Adobe Muse

Simty reviewed on 05 Sep 2011

I'm really worried for Adobe. They seem trapped in their own little world where the only people they come in contact with are people already familiar with the Adobe user-interface conventions. Coming from outside the Adobe universe I find it confusing and dark. It's like joining a complicated French film halfway through. I thought it was me but I've since discovered that I'm far from alone.

Fluid

Simty reviewed on 06 Jul 2011

Fluid seems to have lost the ability to create MenuBar embedded apps. If this is so, it is a great shame and I hope I am somehow mistaken about this fact. Otherwise, Prism does something very similar to Fluid and seems to be able to produce apps that are somewhat smaller in size.

Possible enhancement:
Being able to make cross-platform apps would be an amazing enhancement although it may very well be impossible.

OnyX

Simty reviewed on 01 Jan 2011

Onyx has saved my bacon so many times over the years I've been using it. It still astounds me that something this good can actually be free.

[Version 2.2.2]

Plex

Simty commented on 21 Sep 2010

It was a relief when it crashed. Only trouble is it keeps auto-launching. It's like a bad penny, it just keeps coming back. Try XBMC.

Adobe Flash Player

Simty commented on 18 May 2010

If Adobe really wanted to stick it to Apple, they would come up with a clever way of making this product work on a PPC Mac. That way people wouldn't be forced to upgrade to an Intel Mac filling Apple's coffers with cash . Unfortunately, Adobe Flash Player can't playback streamed H.264 content on any PPC Mac. G3, G4, G5. The solution is to download the content (if possible) and playback using Quicktime Player.

iPrint

simty tipped on 25 Feb 2009

Before paying for this, Try 'Print Selection' it's free. I can't tell from the iPrint description what advantages it has over Print Selection. maybe it has none.

[Version 1.5.1]

RealPlayer SP

simty commented on 30 Oct 2008

Still doesn't work with Dashboard. The sound cuts of as soon as dashboard goes into the background. I'll be sticking with Version 10 which works just fine.

[Version 11.0.1 build 949]

Apple Mac OS X

simty reviewed on 11 Feb 2008

Nanosaur 2 breaks 10.5.2 / Graphic Update 1.0. If you try and play Nanosaur 2 (latest patch) you get a black screen from which there is not return. The game continues to play to it is purely a graphic display issue.

iWeb was also broken after updating. No content was displayed in the iWeb index page from my site. Deleting a blog entry to force re-fresh solved the problem.

[Version 10.5.2]
