Dropbox

If all the bug fixes and features are all on the Windows platform, then why is the Mac app also being updated?

[Version 1.2.49]

VMware Fusion

Whytoi commented on 14 Sep 2011

First crash under v4.01. Whilst waiting for a WIndows OS update to complete, I went and clicked on About VMware Fusion menu item and caused a crash. Fortunately the VM seemed to be well protected. Upon restart, the VM just popped up like exiting sleep mode and picked up where it was before the crash. So it was bad to see a crash but good that there seemed to be some protection.

[Version 4.0.1]

Firefox

Getting confusing. Is this 6.0 a beta or final?

[Version 6.0]

This v6.0's opening page stated it's a beta. That settles it I guess. Unless Mozilla hasn't sorted the web page out properly.

Apple Mac OS X

No drama upgrade from 10.6.7 using the Combo updater. Smooth.

[Version 10.6.8]

Chill

Whytoi reviewed on 04 Apr 2011

Noisy. Really don't see the use of this application. It's not a noise cancelling application, more a noise generator. Maybe it's of use to some, but I haven't discovered its value. Otherwise the software works and didn't encounter any crashes. "Good" value when free I guess.

[Version 1.1]

Safari AdBlocker

Whytoi commented on 17 Apr 2010

Was an excellent ad blocker for Safari but recent versions has caused significant performance hits on user's browsing experience. Completely unacceptable given that we Mac users should be enjoying one of the fastest browsing experiences around. As others have suggested, Glimmer Block seemed to be the best alternative at this point in time.

[Version 1.9.1]

Safari AdBlocker

Whytoi commented on 25 Oct 2009

Great to see Safari AdBlocker maturing to v1.1, but this version has just killed ClicktoFlash v1.6b2. Not good!

Interesting. After 2 reinstalls and reboots, all the features are back. Initially ClicktoFlash menu disappeared and even Glim disappeared under Safari's Preference window. Ummm...

VMware Fusion

whytoi commented on 12 Feb 2009

Great, love updates from VMware.

Just note that the full installer for 2.0.2 with McAfee VirusScan installer is 286Mb while the lite version without McAfee is 187Mb. Both are available on VMware's site.

I don't need that extra 100Mb of download.

[Version 2.0.2]

Hotspot Shield

whytoi commented on 26 Nov 2008

I agree. Another one of those faceless companies offering free "secure data" service. What's in it for them? Why should I trust my data with them? By using it, I would be routinely feeding all my data to them. Using public WiFi, at least there's a random nature as to which bits of data a hacker can sniff.

Not ideal!

[Version 0.942]

Adobe Acrobat Pro

whytoi commented on 26 Jun 2008

121Mb for one security update?!? C'mon Adobe. You've got to be joking!

[Version 8.1.2]

OsiriX

Whytoi had trouble on 20 Nov 2011

Crash galore on startup on my MacBook Pro 13" on 10.7.2. A dialogue box would pop up asking rebuild database or not. Irrespective of which option I choose, it'll crash. Not good at 4.0.

[Version 4.0]

A follow up.

Ended up finding the OsiriX folder in ~Users/Documents and deleting it. Problem fixed.

Q: What's OsiriX's relationship with SIri?

ClickToFlash

whytoi had trouble on 06 Sep 2009

Works great generally but for Youtube.com. Kept on getting a fainted Quicktime icon with a white question mark over it in Safari 4.0.3 (Mac OS X 10.6). Had to open Firefox to see those video clips.

[Version 1.5fc2]

Twitter

whytoi had trouble on 05 May 2009

v1.1.1 seemed to have a bug in that it doesn't display older DM from the user. Inbound DMs are displayed properly.

[Version 1.1.1]

Garmin WebUpdater

Great, the installer says that my 2.0.1 version is newer than this 2.0.2 version and refused to install.

[Version 2.0.2]

Used Pacifist and extracted the application enclosed. No ideas why they bothered to use an installer when there's just the standalone application. There's no extension or other external components.

iSnip

It crashes out on my new MacBook under 10.4.6. Tried to delete its database and preference file, nothing worked. We need an UB version to get this working on Intel Macs I suspect.

Disagree. Plenty of non-universal binary/PPC apps run under Intel Macs through Rosetta. So it's not a definite thing.

KisMAC

whytoi had trouble on 21 Apr 2006

Nice little utility that I've used for quite some time now. With this version, I noticed that the installer does not seem to like directory names containing "_" and/or "-". I had to install in the Applications directory rather than one of my sub-directory.
