CREATIVE GUY  Considering you can do anything this app does simply by typing a few lines in the terminal, and there is no Web site for this developer, and I have no idea who this guy is, I'll be skipping this app.  
(Version 1.0.1)

CREATIVE GUY  You people who complain about the two and a half seconds to activate Adobe apps crack me up. If you wouldn't pirate their software, there would be no need for activation. If you didn't pirate it, then they already have your personal information when you purchased it. Either way, they have your info, so get over it.  
(Version 1.3)

CREATIVE GUY  Yes. QuickLook already does this, plus allows you to view multi-page PDF files, as well as other formats.  
(Version 1.0.8)

CREATIVE GUY  The only comments from the developer that I can find that **might** be considered rude were in response to a user who someone has convinced himself that taking the app and using it with a pirated serial number is NOT stealing.

Um, OK. You deserve to be called any name anyone can come up with to describe you. I choose to use the words idiotic moron.  
(Version 3.5.2)

CREATIVE GUY  $8 for this??? You get this for free in your system prefs and Onyx (as well as a few other freebie apps).

I mean, it has a nice GUI and all, but...  
(Version 2.0)

CREATIVE GUY  Has anyone gotten 1.6 to work at all? Everything I click on results in an error, and trying to edit the columns results in my entire list disappearing.  
(Version 1.6)

CREATIVE GUY  Version 2.5.2 fixed the issue with 2.5.1. So it works great with Leopard again.

The only problem with it now is that the toolbar icon for Safari is the old aqua style, and doesn't match in Leopard. I was able to make a custom version to drop into the package, but it would be nice to have a fix for that.

Otherwise, a great app and great response time to problems!  
(Version 2.5.2)

CREATIVE GUY  Everything was working fine with 2.5, but after updating to this version (2.5.1), Safari no longer recognizes 1P at all (even after following the developer's directions to remove the bundle.

Furthermore, BonEcho (Firefox build) now creates a new icon in the dock every time it launches after opening & closing the 1Password application.

Any ideas?  
(Version 2.5.1)

CREATIVE GUY  It's easier to click a single button :-p  
(Version 1.0)

CREATIVE GUY  With Pixel, Pixelmator, etc... there simply is no excuse to force users to run the X11 environment for any application.  
(Version 2.4rc3)

CREATIVE GUY  This is a fantastic app for version 1.0. VERY fast on a MacPro with 3GB RAM.

I don't see this at all as a Photoshop competitor. It fills a giant void for the tons of folks who don't need the power and features of Photoshop - and it does it quite well.

Many features such as CMYK support, RAW support, drop shadows and more have already been promised for future versions by the developer. Remember, it's only 1.0  
(Version 1.0)

CREATIVE GUY  You can also just put any PDF document into the Illustrator CS3 folder and name it Illustrator Read Me.pdf and it will install just fine.  
(Version 13.0.2)

CREATIVE GUY  And that's important because Backlight uses an ENORMOUS amount of CPU power to run... brings most systems to a crawl.  
(Version 1.3.5)

CREATIVE GUY  Extensis has nothing to do with Font Agent Pro. You're thinking of FontReserve, which Extensis bought several years ago and brought the "vault" feature into Fusion.  
(Version 12.1.6)

CREATIVE GUY  Right off the bat, I knew this was going to be a bit of a waste of time.

Mirror, Cut, Rosette and Tile can all be done quite easily with the basic tools in Illustrator already. So half the tools Kimbo provides don't need to be there - so take off $20 of the price.

What's left? Well, I don't know because the remaining tools I couldn't really figure out a use for, thus they really aren't work a nickel to me, let alone $20. And, like the first few tools, they can all be done with the built-in tools.

This needs to be in the $5 range for the whole group of them. Even then, someone who uses Illustrator is probably knowledgeable enough that they can figure out how to do everything these plugins do with the built in tools  
(Version 2.5)

CREATIVE GUY  I don't really see your widget as a "rival" because I don't consider my site and sites like it a "competition." I also write for other sites like CreativeBits, Macworld and several others - all of which "compete" with my site. I do it because I enjoy it.

I'm disappointed in this widget because it simply adds no value. I can see headlines in dozens upon dozens of other widgets, readers and even on iGoogle page. The fact that you're just starting is no excuse for the lack of tips - you should have waited to release the widget until you had more then.

I don't think I'm being unfair. You have a 1.o product with little to no content. My review is a reflection of that.

I think you misunderstood what I meant by the "taken from other blogs" comment. I realize that your content (just like everyone elses) is usually taken from somewhere other than our own experience. We read other sites, mags, ect. and repost it. What I meant was that the tips in the widget from your site are so basic in nature that they're found EVERYWHERE.

If you're going to launch an app/widget like this, and you have little to no content, you should at least make the content you do have highly useful or entertaining.  
(Version 1.0)

CREATIVE GUY  This is not worth the download. The widget simply shows (some of) the headline to a very basic tip or tutorial, but not the tip/tutorial itself.

Basically, it's just a ploy to get you to go to the Web site, which at this time features only about 14 tips taken from other blogs/sites.

For this to be useful or even remotely enjoyable, the entire tip needs to appear in the widget. Also, a little basic customizing to the widget would be nice. It appears that this was a "test project" using Apple's widget builder.  
(Version 1.0)

CREATIVE GUY  LOVE this app!

The one feature I would like to see added that hasn't been mentioned (that I've seen anyway) is a button next to "Print" in the invoice section that will "Email PDF" - I mean we've added the customers email address to the database, so why not use it?

Sure you can click the PDF button in the print dialog box, but then you have to manually name the PDF. Most invoice programs support some sort of "email PDF invoice" service, I think it would be a great addition.  
(Version 1.1.1)

CREATIVE GUY  Doesn't work at all with Intel-based Macs.  
(Version 5.4)

CREATIVE GUY  Unfortunately, Kensington's claim that it works with Intel Macs is bogus.

The driver does not recognize my TurboMouse Pro (the black trackball version) connected to my MacPro (OS 10.4.7) no matter which USB port it's plugged in to (including a USB hub).  
(Version 3.0r1)

CREATIVE GUY  This is an icon changer. What does this have to do with "themes"???

Candybar is MUCH better than this, and costs the same. The only thing it doesn't do is change the boot panel - which there are several other free apps that do this.

I guess if this app didn't have the word "theme" in it, I wouldn't complain. I'm sure it's a nice little app, but there are just so many already out there that do this that it's hard to get excited about this one.  
(Version 1.0)

CREATIVE GUY  Do NOT install this update if you use Photoshop CS2 or InDesign CS2.

Photoshop will crash when saving files to a network server, or saving to your computer if you open a file from the network server.

InDesign will crash when running Package for Output.

Fixes mentioned on MacFixIt and Macintouch do NOT fix the problem in all cases.  
(Version 10.4.6)

CREATIVE GUY  I applaud the effort, but you can do this already simply by saving the email right from Mail. Show contents on the saved file and you see a folder containing the rich text file (the text of the email) and all the images associated with the email.  
(Version 2.0)

CREATIVE GUY  I'm sorry, but this app just leaves me shaking my head.
 
 First off, why is it in the Dashboard category? It isn't a widget, it's a full blown application.

Second, there's nothing "mini" about it, it's larger than the iTunes remote you get when double clicking the yellow minimize button in the iTunes window.

No preferences, boring GUI... sorry, no point to this app at all.
