Too little, too late. I used this program for many years and it has been very useful. But its interface weaknesses have not been addressed for years. As a Palm Treo user who also needs a mobile version, there are other apps like SplashID, Yojimbo and 1Password which do the same thing with more modern interfaces and better features. After looking at these carefully, I selected SplashID as the replacement to Web Confidential and it has been a very happy transition. It's unfortunate that it came to this, as just some simple improvements to the application would have kept me in the family. |

The upgrade price of $14.95 is very reasonable -- less than half the purchase price. I wish more developers had this kind of positive attitude about supporting existing users. It's a great product that dramatically increases productivity. If I added up all the seconds that I save every day by not having to navigate to often-used folders, I wouldn't be surprised if the time savings was cumulatively worth hundreds of dollars a year. Well worth both the purchase price or the upgrade. |

MacTheRipper 2.6.6 used to work great, but recent updates by Apple seem to have broken the app. All it does now is continuously ask for the "save to" folder and then do nothing. I use Handbrake to rip my DVDs to Apple TV and my iPod, but some of them have problems with the audio, so with those I first convert them to digital Video TS folders to get around the problem. Guess I'll have to go the long way around now. |

According to studies that were published a few years ago, the vast majority of computer thieves know absolutely nothing about computers and only want to sell them. They don't reformat anything. Those who do keep them also prefer not to reformat because they want to use the software that's on the machine. This makes Undercover quite useful, provided that law enforcement officials actually act on the information. When my car was stolen nothing was done to retrieve the contents even though the thief left me with documentation containing his address, which I gave to police. I'm concerned about the Plan B approach, however. I'm not sure how the system knows that the computer is in a repair shop. If it experiences a "hardware problem" I find it quite unlikely that the thief would take the machine to a repair shop. If it was fenced off to someone else then it is possible that the person would do this, but even then there is a strong chance they wouldn't take such action because people who buy a stolen piece of equipment are likely to know it is hot. You don't buy a computer for $100 without suspicion. What if it's at the home of someone else and the "stolen" information appears on the screen? That would pretty much guarantee a reformat of the drive. |
