DAI YI You wrote a fair enough review. But if you acknowledge the limitations of the application with a clear understanding of its goals, target audience and limitations, then why such a poor rating? (Version 4.2) | |

DAI YI I tried your little hack (extensions.checkCompatibility) and now FF won't start up. Any way to revert to "true" or delete the setting? Thanks. (Version 2.0.0.14) | |

WideMail | Mar 6 2008 |
DAI YI This is a fantastic addition to Apple's Mail, especially for those used to Entourage. The developer has produced an excellent product and is very responsive to user requests. After remarking how I missed using text colors to filter messages, Dane had 0.5.1 out within a few days! (Version 0.5.1) | |

DAI YI Did you do anything in particular? I can't get it working after trying most of the suggestions offered on the Redlers forum. (Version 2.2.7.2) | |

Apple QuickTime | Jan 15 2008 |
DAI YI I'm having issues as well. Apple sends me an email to check out the the MB Air, which of course I do. Video plays fine but no audio. Other sites are working, however. So I, too, have to figure out what is going on here. Not good for Apple from a PR perspective, however. (Version 7.4) | |

DAI YI Until yesterday, I was using Vienna at work and NNW at home. Vienna impressed me greatly, especially for a free application. But today I didn't hesitate to download a free copy of NNW. If you try out NNW, you'll see many very similar features sported by Vienna. What I like better about NNW is the finer control users have over subscriptions. Just check the information inspector window and you'll see selections to customize persistence, refreshing, user name/passwords, exporting, as well as podcasts and enclosures. YMMV. | |

DAI YI I'm not getting the multiple listing for contacts with more than one email address. (Version 1.3.2) | |

DAI YI I've been using this application for over one year and enjoy it immensely. I've imported a few thousand recipes from the developer's forum, and added many others from websites. Being able to do so from within the services menu is brilliant. Nice design and features. (Version 2.2.5) | |

DAI YI Have you tried using Rules to color your sender? (Version 0.1) | |

WideMail | Nov 7 2007 |
DAI YI This is a fantastic addition to Mail. I had been using Letterbox, which until recently offered identical functionality (in Tiger). But with WS Mail Plugin 0.0.4, now an additional row has been added to views, placing the subject line below the sender. Although this eats up some real estate, it's also easier on my eyes to have this type of spacing (and alternating white/blue rows). In Leopard, it's also very stable thus far. Thanks for this plugin! (Version 0.0.4) | |

Mercury Messenger | Oct 27 2007 |
DAI YI Naturally, Adium looks much better and allows logins from different accounts and chat services. It's very impressive but lacks the one thing Mercury can offer: video chat capabilities. (Version 1.9) | |

Bookends | Oct 16 2007 |
DAI YI I've been using BE for nearly three years now and have never witnessed even the slightest indication that its developer is "mercurial." In fact, his willingness to listen to users and implement useful suggestions as well as his equanimity make him one of the best developers I've had the pleasure of corresponding with. (Version 10.1) | |

Clone X | Sep 20 2007 |
DAI YI $49 for this? Sorry, I haven't tried it yet. But it would be hard pressed to be superior to applications such as CCC. You've really got to be kidding. (Version 3.0.2) | |

DAI YI OK, after downloading and using Vienna on my work computer I must concede that it's indeed excellent software. There are a few features in NNW that will keep me using it for now, however. In many respects, Vienna is NNW's league; but Vienna cannot claim to be superior IMHO. (Version 3.1b17) | |

NetNewsWire | Sep 6 2007 |
DAI YI I assume you've tried the normal things to solve the issues you've experienced. It's too bad, because even when NNW came out with the earliest betas of version 3, I rarely had problems. Hope you get them resolved soon. (Version 3.1b17) | |

NetNewsWire | Sep 3 2007 |
DAI YI Please explain what you mean by " Vienna does it better." While Vienna is very good, it can't match NNW's features. If you don't need such features, or don't want to pay for them, Vienna represents a good choice of a newsreader. But to claim without any qualification that it's "better" than NNW is subjective and misleading. (Version 3.1b16) | |

DAI YI May be only an impression, but NN seems faster than FF. It runs all the extras that FF does, so why not if it's quicker? (Version 9.0b3) | |

Parallels Desktop | Aug 4 2007 |
DAI YI I just jumped ship, too, after using Parallels for only 4 months. To be fair, I found Parallels worked fine for my limited needs. But their upgrade price was more than the special pre-release price offered by VMWare. After testing it out, I really liked Fusion better. Other considerations: Intel just threw millions into VMWare, so the future seems secure, and there should be tight coordination between chip maker and software developer. I believe Cisco also will be working closely with VMWare. Although I never experienced the nightmare many have had dealing with Nova (save for having to call them to get a rebate) and was generally satisfied with Parallels, in the long term I thought VMWare would be a better "bet."

Papyrus | Jul 30 2007 |
DAI YI I've heard very good things about Papyrus and look forward to using it. My work involves a considerable amount of writing and Papyrus keeps coming up on other word processing forums. (Version 12.56) | |

ScreenSteps | Jul 26 2007 |
DAI YI As an educator and technologist, this is very useful software. Easy to use, yet with enough features to easily and intuitively create lessons. Academic pricing is available, too. I will be purchasing this today. (Version 1.1r4) | |

DAI YI It DOES work with other applications. I have it working with Omniweb, iChat, Yahoo Messenger, Adium, TextEdit and NetNewsWire. Go the the forums for instructions on how to load LD in other applications. (Version 1.2.6) | |

DAI YI Good news that this works with IceCam. I had endless problems with Macally's own driver (CPU spiked to 90%) and ended up returning the IceCam for an exchange. Have yet to receive the new camera but look forward to trying it with this driver. I hope it will solve the problem. (Version 0.8.7) | |

OmniWeb | May 2 2006 |
DAI YI A sneaky-peek version of OW 5.5 based on Apple's WebKit is now out. Preliminary impressions after a few hours of use are that this is a huge improvement over 5.1. Pages render much faster now and speed is on a par with Safari. My favorite feature is site preferences, which allow users quite elaborate control over, in part, how different sites will be displayed. Although SafariStand has made that browser much better, now that OW has improved so much in terms of speed, it may be worth taking a look at again. CPU usage was down from 5.1 but it eats up a fair amount of RAM. (Version 5.1.3) | |

SafariStand | Jul 18 2005 |
DAI YI You should also try visiting the developer's website. There you can find sufficient information to use SS. It's the best addition to Safari for my personal needs. It may not be for you, but don't dismiss it so casually either. (Version 2.0b4) | |
