StarCraft Broodwar
Aug 26 2007

BRYAN LAW  Why is it, that now, after one and one-half years of having Intel based Macs, do game developers release new patches, and yet do not bother making them universal binaries? I understand that Starcraft is a game that will likely run fine on an Intel Mac under Rosetta, but if they release an update this late into the Intel transition, there is no reason not to Unversalize it. The point is we shouldn't HAVE to emulate this game under Rosetta...

Parallels Desktop
Jul 17 2007

BRYAN LAW  Same here, on my 17" MBP 2.4 Ghz, Parallels has thrice fouled up my drive. I had to use Diskwarrior to recover it the second time...

Can anyone confirm that this new build fixes this?

BRYAN LAW  It is a sad day when a good freeware app goes to shareware...

ST00P!D M0NK3Y  Yes. I pretty much removed it off my computer because of the incessant nagging asking me to pay during the entire 30 day trial period (EVERY TIME I TURNED ON THE COMPUTER!). It only took a few days of that nonsense to give up on this app. The annoying nagging of the trial period is really unnecessary.

JROSSOL  yes... I'm sure this game sold very well as a PPC app... you'd think it would be in Blizzard's best interests to re-release as a PPC app... heck, I'd even pay for a new storyline 'game' -- "WCIII, The Universal struggle" (there's a game title... ) that included a intel patch.

BRYAN LAW  This is a great modernization of the classic game! It remains faithful while enhancing the graphics and gameplay to new levels. Thanks for this great port!

BRYAN LAW  NIce Theme, but for the love of God, don't use the 7z compression! It just makes it a pain in the *** to open!

BRYAN LAW  Don't mean to flame, but why would you buy icons that aren't even commercially usable? Sounds like a scam to me. If you're going to charge for them, make them stock icons.

PAKKMAN781  This app is great! I love useless little fun stuff! I wouldn't advise using this in conjunction with other apps though.

Thanks for keeping it free!

iPSP

PAKKMAN781  It's good to see that us Mac users will be able to actually use the PSP when it comes out. I was getting worried that when I do get one when they come out over here in the states, that I would be unable to transfer data to it because I don't run Windows. I think that it is unfair of Sony to ignore us Mac users and make their software PC only. This looks like a promising program, and I will definately try it fully once I get a PSP.

My only complaint about this program is that it's not free. I know, the developer is trying to make some money, but that's taking advantage of the fact that there currently is nothing else. Please, if someone else is considering starting a free/opensource software like this, I encourage you to do so.

ANONYMOUS  I agree with you. In fact, I go one step further, the author of this program should pay us to use it -- no what, this website should pay us for downloading it -- no no what! You should pay me for reading this! Pay me! Pay me!

PAKKMAN781  This looks very promising and I hope to see it improved in the future. I would love to see the day when something better than Virtual PC comes along(which would be just about anything XD).

I wouldn't care whether this ran in the X11 environment or not, although, I like the prospect of running Windows apps without going through the X11 environment.

I downloaded this preview, and think that it will improve greatly over time. I won't post a rating though, because this is just the Developer Preview Alpha.

PAKKMAN781  Excellent, Excellent, Excellent Program! I've needed something like this for ages! Before this, I would open up TextEdit every time I needed a word checked, but no more!

The Good:

1. Unobtrusive(used it for this word :D); small window that doesn't get in the way.

2. Fast; Just type the word then a space and you have a result!

3. Dictionary; I like the idea of loading the online dictionary.

4. Window Levels; The fact that you can set the window level is very cool.

5. The Price; it's free! Free is good!

The Bad:

1. Not quite perfect; The Apple Spellchecker isn't perfect, but that's in the system, not the fault of this application.

I hope to see even more of this little app!

PAKKMAN781  Mozilla is not the best browser out there(IMO), but is does have some Redeeming qualities.

The Good:

1. Good Engine; The Mozilla Engine has always been a fairly dependable one

2. Inteface; it has one of the better interfaces of the browsers.

3. Tabs; how does one survive without them, and this was one of, if not the, first tabbed browsers for the Mac

The Bad:

1. Poor Support; I have experienced many problems with multimedia, especially java, where it wouldn't work at all

2. Not the fastest; I have had much better speed out of both Safari and Firefox

This was the browser to use in it's day, but now I think the world has moved to Safari and Firefox...

PAKKMAN781  Firefox is truly an amazing browser.

The Good:

1. Fast; renders all aspects of a page in very fast order

2. Compatable; it seems to work flawlessly with everything I have encountered on the internet, the most compatable browser with ebay I have ever used, interestingly

3. Pretty; I love the abilty to apply themes

4. Good on all platforms; I have used this on both Mac and Windows, and it performs well both ways, Although, I do prefer the Mac version ;)

The Bad:

1. There are none :D

Halo
Feb 28 2005
**½..

PAKKMAN781  There are many problems with this version of Halo:

1. Graphics aren't any good, looks about a half as good as the Xbox Halo

2. Not all keys on the keyboard are Mappable/usable, no mapping of shift, control, etc.

3. Runs quite slow

4. Very buggy, just going into menus cause it to switch screen modes an such

5. Various other problems

My point: Go buy an Xbox and a copy of Halo or Halo 2, sorry if this sounds like betrayal to the Mac, but this port is a poor attempt...

PAKKMAN781  :D This is a fun little app, my only complaint is that it takes up a bit too much screen, would like a small size option.

*Agrees with Sandra* :)
