Firefox

Svoop reviewed on 18 Nov 2011

Like the new version number policy or not, but it's a fact that Firefox has improved a lot in way less time lately. It's once again a strong competitor along with Chrome and Webkit which is good news for innovation and future development of any browser. As a result the dire days of cross-browser compatibility nightmares for developers like me are slowly fading. Time to say thanks and upvote a great initiative (particularly in the light of some trolls casting ill-founded one-star ratings recently).

The 1.14.0-rc1 works on OS X Lion, the minimal OS X version is 10.6.

On The Job

Svoop reviewed on 13 Apr 2011

I have to agree with Rybu03051. This app looked very promising when I bought it two years ago, but no significant updates have been released every since. Invoicing as is doesn't work for me and a corresponding feature request died after a short period of involvement.

It appears, the makers of On the Job have shifted to the more lucrative iPhone app market. Maybe the Mac App store will eventually spark a revival, until then, place it somewhere between abandonware and Duke Nukem Forever.

[Version 3.0.3]

iStockEX

Okay, it lacks some features, but the reason why this app didn't survive the first day of my trial: It stopped responding to click events on whatever element more than once. Cmd-Q and restart fixes this, still, I prefer to stick to the even more lightweight but stable and free DEPOTset.

[Version 1.5.5]

Very nice indeed:

Gimp

If you don't want to click twice all the time (first to focus the window, second e.g. to select a tool), open a terminal and issue the following command:

defaults write org.x.x11 FocusFollowsMouse -string YES

[Version 2.6.7]

GitX

Excellent work, way better than using gitk with optimized fonts on a Mac.

[Version 0.6.2]

MVWorldviewer

OSXplanet is less expensive, but hey, what's 8 bucks for a replacement that really works on Leopard?

However, there's quite some room for features. And it would be nice if the overall and nightshadow saturation/contrast could be controlled in order to improve the visibility of the icons on the desktop.

Nice app!

[Version 1.3.1]

Sony eBook Library

svoop had trouble on 08 Sep 2009

Here's how to rip it off your Mac again:
sudo /Library/eBookLibrary/uninstall-eBookLibrary.sh

You might want to check out Calibre for the time being. It's clumsy and heavy, but no segfaults there:
