MacUpdate Desktop

Zwei commented on 29 Oct 2009

You guys need to make this adware.

It's just not worth $20 a year (to me) when you consider a large percentage of the new Mac apps update automatically via Sparkle. Not to mention you can get a similar app for free over at http://appbodega.com/. I realize MacUpdate's library is a lot larger, but still.

$10/year seems reasonable to me.

OpenDNS Updater

NOTICE: The OpenDNS team recently released an “Official” Mac OpenDNS client. Once the client is out of beta status I will be retiring my version of the updater as it is no longer needed. Further information about the new client can be found in the OpenDNS Forums.

Best dang casual game I've played in a long time. VERY addictive.

Twitter

zwei reviewed on 21 Apr 2009

The good:
-Sleek/intuitive interface
-Decent feature list
-Global hotkey to send tweet at any time without bringing up the full window is GREAT!
-Native Cocoa (efficient resource handling)
-More features on the way!

The Bad
-Menubar icon simply acts as a new tweet indicator. (should be a badge on the icon instead)
-Can't disable dock icon (only reason this app should need a menubar icon)
-Can't tell the difference between read/unread tweets unless you actually scroll through them with the arrow keys ...simply scrolling with the mouse marks them as read, but doesn't change their appearance.
-Spacebar should act like it does in twitteriffic ..not like Safari (having to use the arrow keys instead of the spacebar makes me take my hand off the mouse)
-Price ...I'd buy it if it was $5-$10. $15? No thanks. $20? ...I think people are forgetting what kind of app we are talking about here. I'll stick with the ads.

It's $15 for the first 2 weeks. $20 after that.

This is how updates should be done!

DNS-O-Matic Updater

Zweisoft (developer) commented on 06 Mar 2008

For those of you using Unsanity haxies, DNS-O-Matic Updater may quit at launch. Put DNS-O-Matic Updater in the global exclusion list in the APE preference pane and it should fix the problem.
