JAZZADDICT  Good review. I have to agree with everything said. I actually gave a 4 or 5 star review back in beta (because I thought they were doing great), but I haven't been impressed with how the app has matured; including the iPhone App which I think is mediocre. There is still no good Mac GTD software in my opinion. I use toodledo and 'Todo' for the iPhone. The tandem is quite impressive. I want there to be a great desktop GTD app. I would love to be using some of the features of Things like the tag implementation and what not. But to much functionality is missing for me. For instance, last I checked there wasn't a way to promote a task to a project. This annoys me. It means I have to copy and paste into and re-enter all the meta-data. If someone knows how to do this let me know. :-) Anyway I hope this App improves. The interface is very nice.   
(Version 1.1.2)

JAZZADDICT  I really enjoy using Together. The feature set is best in its class. I consider Together my 'digital hub'; It's where everything comes together on my mac. It is one of my most used 3rd party apps. My favorite things about Together are the tag implementation, the intuitive interface, and the import process.

My biggest gripe with the program is that the interface can get sluggish on my ppc and require restarts to speed things up. I notice interface sluggishness in Together more than other apps, but it's not to bad. On Intel I'm sure it's much quicker.

Good developer. Handles support pretty well and is excellent at fixing bugs and implementing feedback.

peace  
(Version 2.2.9)

JAZZADDICT  I know about the edit button. I just wanted to be able to customize the spaces which works via drag n drop from another window.  
(Version 4.0b1)

JAZZADDICT  Thanks! You Rock! :-)  
(Version 4.0b1)

JAZZADDICT  I'm enjoying the beta. Really like where Safari is going. I love how searching history has massively improved.I think the Top Sites feature is a bit shallow. I wish I could just easily choose which site I want in which space. If you want a site to appear in Top Sites you have to wait for it to show up after you visit it enough. And if you have all your site areas 'pinned down' it will never appear at all. I wish I could enter whatever URL I want to whatever Top Site I want. I think bookmarks should have more metadata to make it easier to organize and find. Labels, descriptions, and maybe even keywords (tags). Tabs on top is still weird now but i'll catch on. It is a better way of doing things for sure.  
(Version 4.0b1)

JAZZADDICT  $30!!! Launchbar cost less than iClipboard and it has an good clipboard recorder amongst it's many great features.  
(Version 2.0)

JAZZADDICT  I agree!  
(Version 3.8 beta 1)

JAZZADDICT  not sure what you mean? within Launchbar's preferences you can set the shortcut for Launchbar and Spotlight to whatever you'd like. I'm pretty sure you've been able to do this since Tiger. You can make pretty much any shortcut you like.  
(Version 5.0b3)

JAZZADDICT  There seems to be a lot of people with something to say about the UI changes. Especially regarding the re-haul of the 'Today' area. After thinking about it for a couple days I agree that they took a step backwards in this regard. It's not that I think the new implementation doesn't have some usefulness. It does, it's just that it took away critical functionality and makes the application less usable for a lot of people. I think they should find a way to incorporate the best of both worlds. Some people are suggesting that be done by offering 2 separate 'Today' views and enabling one or the other in preferences but I think it would be much more elegant and practical to re-haul it again with both views incorporated into one.

Go here http://tiny.cc/vaSvG to add your opinion. Happy New Year!  
(Version 1.0rc2)

JAZZADDICT  Sweet! It's here. Well... I didn't get everything I wanted in the first release but I can say flat out this is my new task manager. I'm not even really sure they'll incorporate the features I want, but for now this is the most intuitive gtd software out there imo. I wish it had a little more depth as a project manager and you can make hierarchies of tasks and projects, but if I have a project that needs that kind of depth I'll stick with making on outline with OmniOutliner. But yeah, this is really cool. Elegant. Apple like yet unique in it's own right. Can't wait to check out the iphone app. Happy New Year!  
(Version 1.0rc)

JAZZADDICT  I look forward to the UI redesign! :-) I love 1passwd but I've always thought the main UI lacked in functionality and really didn't meat up to the standards of a great cocoa interface. Although the iPhone app... that's another story. I like that interface a lot. I think they've done a great job considering it's a brand new platform, and at the current pace of development I think it's really going to be something great. Happy New Year!  
(Version 2.9.8b1)

JAZZADDICT  I agree that the main UI is weak, but it's integration with iphone and web browsers is really tight. I can't compare it to anything else because 1passwd is all i know, but I'm happy with it. I don't think it deserves that low of a rating.  
(Version 2.9.7)

JAZZADDICT  Just tried it out for the first time. It looks interesting. It would be cool if it had more advanced searching features like Devonagent. I liked using it for image searches and facebook but I don't like using it for shopping. Maybe if it had really good pricegrabber support I would check it out again for shopping. Anyway... it's a cool gooey but needs a lot more functionality for me to actually keep using it and remember it's there.   
(Version 1.9.1.17582)

JAZZADDICT  Spark disk image will not mount...  
(Version 3.0b9)

JAZZADDICT  do you know when the first release is suppose to come out?  
(Version 0.9.6.1)

JAZZADDICT  Even with that fix it still runs pretty slow on my dual 2.0 g5 compared to other apps. The interface crawls sometimes. Probably runs a lot quicker on intel systems. My g5 doesn't feel as quick as it used too. It doesn't handle spotlight as quick as intel systems and Together relies on that a lot. Like when clicking through tags. A bit sluggish. Oh well. Hopefully I'll get a macbook soon. peace.  
(Version 2.2.3)

JAZZADDICT  Is this still under development?  
(Version 1.0b54)

JAZZADDICT  Anyone know when 5.0 is gona' drop? I've been using Launchbar for awhile. I chose it over Butler long ago because of its intuitive nature, good documentation, and good support. This kind of app is essential to me so I never wanted to risk using freeware because it's sometimes not dependable when it comes to updates and support (understandably). But now that Butler is going shareware and there's gona' be a big overhaul, I'm definitely interested in checking it out. I don't really like Launchbar's UI. Not flexible enough. It tries to hard to be unobtrusive and ends up being to... I don't know... tiny. I have to refer to the documentation too much to figure out how to do stuff. Features are a bit too buried in my opinion. These apps are all about speed, unobtrusiveness, slickness, intuitive usability, and as I'm finding more need to use Launchbar as I become a more advanced computer user I find it's becoming harder and harder to use the app. Don't get me wrong. The app is still really sick and in my opinion at least as good as the current version of Butler. But I want more.  
(Version 4.1.6)

JAZZADDICT  i don't like widgets much. I think Apple has done a poor job with the Dashboard, but that said, this is one of the top widgets out there and one of the only reasons I keep the dashboard activated. Although now that I have an ipod touch I might not use the dashboard much anymore. I need to find a handy little stand to keep my ipod on my desk so I can use it like a calculator. But yeah... great widget. The author has done a great job with updates.  
(Version 0.9.9)

JAZZADDICT  and to think this use to be K.I.T.! I had totally forgot till a second ago. I didn't like that app. Was using Yojimbo at the time. Not no more! Together is the best PIM I've scene on the OS X yet.  
(Version 2.2)

JAZZADDICT  Look at Together for sure... it's a great app. Very actively developed. More flexible. Better tag implementation. Just as easy to get stuff in. Eaglefiler is cool but I think together is way more intuitive and elegant IMHO.  
(Version 1.5.1)

JAZZADDICT  It's getting better all the time. The newly reorganized tag area makes things much easier. My tag list was getting out of control. Auto-tags is sweet. I haven't tested it's usability but it's nice to see it's there. I think the big one everyone wanted to see was the ability to rearrange tabs. Clutch!

Thanks Steve for another solid update!  
(Version 2.2)

JAZZADDICT  Ditto... I'm grateful for how long he kept his work free as he made improvements. Now I'm happy to pay for his apps. If you think all it's worth is free, then you probably think it sucks, in which case, why are you using it? Ya know? If it's not worth $12 to you it's probably not essential enough where you even need it to begin with.  
(Version 2.0.2)

JAZZADDICT  Thanks! Exactly what I wanted. Great update!  
(Version 1.2)

JAZZADDICT  Good write up. I was using Safari and then Mail for RSS until NNW for iPhone was released. I always had NNW but I didn't like launching such a battle tank of an app every time I wanted to browse some feeds. Now I keep it as a log in item. In combination with the iPhone App NNW changed how I read the news. Thanks.  
(Version 3.1.7)

JAZZADDICT  "This is the main reason I stopped buying some shareware programs. They aren't supported when Apple updates their system software."

This really isn't the case for most the shareware I use. Maybe you should look into finding better software. I've found freeware is no better at keeping up with system updates. Sometimes open source software is better with this because they have a community around the software, but I find freeware and open source are left in the dust as much or more than shareware developers because there's less accountability. You just have to find good apps with developers who put a lot of energy into it. What kind of software license the app falls under is not a good indicator of whether the app is gona' stay up to date with system updates.

Btw... PP works for me. Sorry you're having issues with it.  
(Version 3.4)

JAZZADDICT  Boinx... Now that it's yours... At least put your stamp on it. Do something with it. To show everyone why you decided to purchase the app. Ya know?   
(Version 3.4)

JAZZADDICT  The last developers were student developers and were in a position to sell there app for much cheaper than other developers would. $8 was cheap for a cool consumer authoring tool. You don't see shareware for the mac come much cheaper. I'm fine with the $20 price upgrade. I just don't understand why they wouldn't add anything to it first!!! It' not like they're bad developers. I have Fotomagico. It's pretty slick. I'm amazed they wouldn't add a thing to Photopresenter before releasing it. Did they buy the app to develop it or just to charge more for it? Well, I know the answer. They want to develop for it. I don't think they're that scummy. I think they just got of on the wrong foot. They should of incorporated an impressive set of new features before upgrading the price. I would of figured Boinx just wanted Photopresenter to implement some of it's features into Fotomagico and swallow up as much of Photopresenter's user base as possible, but it seems they're keeping Photopresenter in tact; which is cool, but they really need to pump it up with some new features to justify the new price. That's not to say the price isn't fair; I think it is, I just don't think you should take an app and double the price without doing a thing to it.  
(Version 3.4)

JAZZADDICT  While 3.7 is welcome I think it's long overdue. I think they should of had this release out back when 10.5 was released; and 4.0 would be nice right about now. OmniOutliner should be further along in utilizing Leopard technologies (IMHO).

Still my Favorite outliner for the mac. :-)  
(Version 3.7)

JAZZADDICT  Touché... well put. The switch and bait was referring to price change I saw which I thought was something you controlled; (I shouldn't have assumed that.) Nevertheless, I was being to harsh... I didn't mean to call you a drama queen. Sorry. :-(

I look forward to the native iPhone/iPod Touch App. Exciting! I imagine if a killer App came out that could stream an iTunes Library over local and remote networks I would spend much less time in Music App which in my case only gives me a meager 8GB of my 100 something GB Library. Simplify Media annoys me because the interface elements don't respond well to gestures and it's not the sexiest App. I look forward to your native App. Release it SOON! PLEASE! Pandora's cool but I want to listen to my tunes.  
(Version 1.0.0.292)

JAZZADDICT  "I mean, if you were to try HookUp and see what we've basically given you for free you'd be amazed. With HookUp - completely for free - you can connect to another version of HookUp - again, the free app - and play tracks from EVERY iTUNES SHARE IN THAT ENTIRE REMOTE NETWORK!!

Even if there are 40 iTunes shares in that remote network, you can play tracks from every one of those remote shares.

We've basically given that to you FREE - no charge, no limitations, no app expiry after 30 days..FREE."

What did I say that prompted you to give me all this info. I already know this. Nothing I said would suggest I didn't? I've been using the software. It's good. It's free. It has a optional plugin you buy. I know this. So does a lot of other software. That's cool. I wasn't saying the software isn't worth the price. In fact, I said in my comment explicitly "I'm not saying it's not worth the price," so why in your response did you make it seem like I was complaining about the price?  
(Version 1.0.0.292)

JAZZADDICT  I apologize if I jumped to conclusions regarding the price change. I'm still disappointed with the developers response to my comment.  
(Version 1.0.0.292)

JAZZADDICT  I just started using Hookup because I thought Simplify Media wasn't giving me enough features and flexibility. This is with out a doubt a much better application. I might get the download plugin. If I do I think I'll start using this over MyTunesRSS as my main way of accessing iTunes on the go. It would be sweet if they came out with a killer iPhone App. I don't like the Simplify Media iPhone App to much. I've never played with the dot.tunes iPhone WebApp but I heard it's really good. If only they would build a native App with a similar interface, that would be cool. :-)  
(Version 1.0.0.292)

JAZZADDICT  "I guess you just can't please some people even when you give your app away free."

And please cut it with that drama queen crap. There's nothing I said in my comments that should have given you any reason to say that.  
(Version 1.0.0.292)

JAZZADDICT  First off... you switched the price listed on macupdate from $10 to $20 dollars since yesterday. You should have mentioned that you made that 'mistake'. It's called 'bait and switch'. Defend that.

Second of all... Did you even read what I posted? Your comments regarding what I stated are out of context. I wasn't complaining about the functionality of your software! I'm sure it's just wonderful. I'm complaining about how you market your software. I think it's often disingenuous.

I'm not expecting anything for free! I know it's free without the plugin. I never said anything that would suggest I didn't know that. Quote me if I did. You're just getting over sensitive and making stupid out of context comments in response. You don't have to write FREE FREE FREE a million times. I'm not a dumb a*s. I get that it's free. That has nothing to do with what I wrote. Respond to what I wrote or don't don't respond at all.  
(Version 1.0.0.292)

JAZZADDICT  What's with all the flak APE gets? Is it that bad?  
(Version 1.3)

JAZZADDICT  I hate how this company is constantly using 'bait and switch' techniques to sell their software. This App is not $10. It's $20 if you want the download plug-in and free if you don't. I'm not saying it's not worth the price. On there web page they make everything look free and mention the prices it will cost to achieve the programs full functionality in small areas at the bottom of the page with big banners up on top saying 'Free!'. They just want to get you to download the software, get it into your workflow, and the let you realize on your own that you have to put out cash to get what you thought you were getting for free. I just hate how this company runs their marketing. It's dishonest. And they aren't even subtle about it. It's been the same crap with this company for a while. I want to use Hookup for it's feature set but I don't think I like supporting these people.  
(Version 1.0.0.292)

JAZZADDICT  I heard there's a beta for Safari. Would love to know if anyone has tried it out. Sounds interesting. I've never tried this extension because I'm a Safari user.  
(Version 0.3.24.3)

JAZZADDICT  It's too difficult for me to implement my GTD system in my current task manager (Omnifocus). I spend to much time trying to figure out how to get things done in the application, and not enough time planning, reviewing, and getting things done.

Things looks very promising. It's GUI is much more along the lines of what I enjoy compared to Omnifocus. It's much more intuitive. Also the way contexts are handled is much more intuitive to me. The ability to assign and filter tasks via tags is nice.

Things is still missing a lot of critical functionality. Like not being able to nest Projects and Tasks. I hope the 1.0 release comes soon and brings new functionality and a much improved iPhone App. :-)  
(Version 0.9.4)

JAZZADDICT  Even though I think 1Password is great I think it needs a more functional user interface. The web browser plugins and iPhone App are coming along very well, but I think the user interface of the main window is not up to par with cutting edge cocoa interfaces designed with Leopard technologies in mind. Though I think it is a decent looking Application, I think the UI is just not as seamless to work in as most well designed cocoa Apps. I think the way 1password items (webforms, wallet items, and secure notes) are organized need to get with the times. Folders are great for certain situations but in many cases they are too rigid. Nests of Folders can get out of control. That's where tags come in. Tagging functionality would be great. So would smart folders! Smart folders are so Tiger. I think they should have been implemented a long time ago. There's lot's of cool Leopard technologies that aren't being taken advantage of. I know they have a lot on there plate with the iPhone App but the main App still deserves a lot of attention.

Nevertheless... 1Password a great password wallet and form filler! Keep up the good work!  
(Version 2.8.3b4)

JAZZADDICT  Does this mean one could use command > tab to switch applications with Witch? That would be so sweet! I've never used witch because of that.

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17185/witch  
(Version 1.3)

JAZZADDICT  Harmonic use to work for me but it started pasting the wrong lyrics to the wrong songs and over about a month time screwed up most my library. Checked out pear lyrics but I wasn't getting good search results. So far, this seems way better than anything else I've tried. Thank you developer! :-)  
(Version 0.7.12)

JAZZADDICT  Also, can you justify why you gave the ratings you did? I'm not sure why you're using an .app that you rated 2/5 for features and 2/5 for value. Thanks. :-)  
(Version 2.1.6)

JAZZADDICT  If you would have read the documentation, contacted the developer, or visited the developers website you would know syncing has existed in Together since May. It's taken care of through the Library manager.  
(Version 2.1.6)

JAZZADDICT  I actually shared a few emails with the developer (Steve) regarding his support service since posting my thread. He doesn't currently generate enough revenue from the .app to hire support. To make up for this he has put a lot of effort into creating the best support system possible. He's not always able to answer every feedback submission individually but his goal is to answer support requests within 24 hours. I think it helps him quite a bit when people use the forums instead of emailing him because it gives others a chance to respond with helpful information and links to other similar threads. Also, the forums help him prioritize feedback.

Despite how impressed I am with how hard he's working to make the support experience what it is, I still really really wish of course that he was in a position to hire support. That way the time he spends providing support could be dedicated to development. I'm sure that would really catalyze Together's development.  
(Version 2.1.6)

JAZZADDICT  I wish the developer wasn't the one doing support. That's usually not a good thing. The kind of support and feedback responses I get from the developer are not as thorough and courteous as responses I get from other software companies. The responses seem rushed though not impolite in any way. Go send some feedback or a question to the Omnigroup and see the difference. They make you feel encouraged to report as many bugs as possible and provide feedback (therefor making there software much better.) It gives the developers much more time to work on the software instead of responding to tons of support requests and flickering through the barrage of feature requests that come in. There would be much less pressure on the developer and much better experience for users if there was someone completely dedicated to support who has good customer service skills. Will Shipley once said in a podcast interview that if a developer is doing support for his or her product it is a great disservice to their customers. I agree.

Together is very good software. Keep up the good work.  
(Version 2.1.5)

JAZZADDICT  Tell me about it. I wish an open source project would start that replicates the mobileme syncing feature so any developer can build it into their .app for free. Till then.  
(Version 2.1.5)

JAZZADDICT  I just went to search around to see what other itunes controllers are out there. There were a lot. Some were well acclaimed. Some of them were pretty good. Despite the fact that some of them cost more than twice as much as SizzilingKeys and had some cool fancy features, I hurried back to Sizzling Keys real quick. It's a nice app for a fair price. Not to to mention I think it's the only .app I saw where you can move the floater with the mouse. That's killer.   
(Version 3.2.5)

JAZZADDICT  Oh.. btw... Thanks for the free app developer person!!! :-)  
(Version 1.0)

JAZZADDICT  I need this .app because I have no use for the brightness keys (because I have a Dell screen), no use for the iTunes keys because my keyboard shortcuts set in SizzlingKeys are more convenient and responsive, so function flip opens up opens up the use of those function keys for me. I hate holding the 'fn' key. It fn sucks lol. I would rather this .app be in System preferences because it's cluttering my menulet area. I can understand why some would still want the menulet as an option even if it was put in System Prefs. System prefs just seems like a more appropriate spot.  
(Version 1.0)

JAZZADDICT  One of those features that should really be built into Mac OS X.  
(Version 1.0.1)

JAZZADDICT  really want the .app, but I think it's overpriced. This cost twice what other file transfer tools cost. I would encourage the developer to consider lowering the price. Of course I wouldn't encourage the developer to do anything that would cause a loss in revenue, but I think the amount of new customers a price cut would create might justify the price change. just my 2 cents. great .app. super easy, fast, and robust. :-) wish i would of caught the MU sale.  
(Version 2.7.1)

JAZZADDICT  Do you have an idea when 3.0 might be released? I'm excited for it. Thanks! :-)  
(Version 2.1v271)

JAZZADDICT  2.1 is a great update. The fact that you can link to a Together entry from another Application is great. I haven't seen any other Application do this. The shelf has greatly improved. Getting stuff into the database has become so much easier with the addition of system wide hot key importing, bookmarklets, improved quick note, and best of all; everything that gets saved to the Together library in the Finder now gets automatically imported into Together. Sweet! :-)  
(Version 2.1.1)

JAZZADDICT  I think there has been a lack of innovation with CPN since I first purchased it a year ago. I've since moved to spreading what I did in CPN across a few different .apps, (OmniFocus, OmniOutliner, Together, and soon possibly Leap.) I think CPN has been slow to introduce Leopard technologies. Where's the Quicklook plugin? iChat theater integration? Core animation? System wide note and todo integration? Improved ical support (slow and buggy for me)? Anything? Do something with Leopard! Please! :-)

Also there are a lot of things I think Notebook has had to improve on for awhile. Better keywording (tagging) implementation. More 'Tiger like' quick instant search without distracting you from what your doing. I've seen lot's of requested features in the forum from seasoned users that I really wish were implemented. Development seems too incremental IMHO.

Nevertheless, CPN is still one of the best .apps for the Mac. Let's hope it pushes forward.  
(Version 2.1v268)

JAZZADDICT  I emailed the developer letting him know of my interest in the beta and he added me to the beta mailing list.  
(Version 1.6.6)

JAZZADDICT  Thanks! I look forward to the beta.  
(Version 1.6.5)

JAZZADDICT  Removing the BZ2 extension did the trick! Thank you!  
(Version 0.9)

JAZZADDICT  DMG will not mount. I get a dialog saying "the following disk images failed to mount." I re-downloaded the 10.4 version from the developers website, but same issue occured. Anyone else with this issue?  
(Version 0.9)

JAZZADDICT  Does anyone know if Yep has the intension to add web archive/bookmark support? I'm trying to find a solution to organize all of my pdf files, web archives, and bookmarks in one place. I tried Yojimbo and Devonthink, but neither have as delicious of a tagging as Yep. I really like Yep a lot. I just don't want to have to save all my web archives to pdf. I need them to be web archives.  
(Version 1.6.4)

JAZZADDICT  I'm a DTPO user, and though I like it for doing research, I have not been able to use it as a file archive (finder replacement), GTD solution, journaling solution, or much of anything else. When I try to use it for everyday stuff I spend to much time figuring out how to do what I want to do, and not enough time getting things done. I know some people use it for GTD as well as other non-research related tasks, and they like it quite well, so don't take my word for it. I think its that the interface needs improvements. I also think some of the functionality offered in script extensions should be built into the program in better form. If there were an .app that combined the technology and flexibility of Devonthink with the interface of Yep, I'd be really stoked.  
(Version 1.9.9)

JAZZADDICT  Same here - got my license 9 months ago. This seems unfair. I really want to upgrade because the new features look killer, but I can't afford to put another $70 into this .app. Errrr....  
(Version 4.0)

JAZZADDICT  Download link has been broken for a month, both here and on the developers website. I emailed the developer in May to see what's up, but I got no response. Anyone know if the project's been abandoned? I'd really like to try this .app.  
(Version 1.1.1)

JAZZADDICT  Thank you so much for this .app. I have a WD Mybook that won't respect OS X's spin down settings. I found a hack on macosxhints.com, but there was too much terminal trickery involved... too geeky for me. This .app solves the problem. Thank You!  
(Version 0.1)

JAZZADDICT  I tried contacting Objectpark Software 3 times in the past 2 weeks for support. Twice to the support address for MCC, and once to their main email address. No response. I'm having a couple issues. One is that despite the fact the I have selected it to not check for updates, it still phones home upon launch (I'm a Little Snitch user). I am not subscribed to any calendars, so I am sure it is making the network connection for reasons unrelated to ical. Second is that when I have 'copy birthdays to this calendar' selected, every-time I add a birthday to Address Book, ical crashed. It also crashes when doing the initial copy, but that's no big deal. I could go back to having ical create the birthday calendar, but that isn't as nice because I'm forced to have it create its own calendar instead of copying it into an existing calendar. Anyway, the most troublesome of all this is that they won't respond to my support requests. 2 weeks should be plenty. Especially when I'm shelling out $20 for this app. If anybody could confirm my issues, and let me know if they've ever gotten through to support, I'd appreciate it. :-)  
(Version 2.6.1)

JAZZADDICT  Will dragster put a file on idisk/ftp and create a new email message containing the link to the file on the server? Similar to how Filechute does it.  
(Version 1.0)

JAZZADDICT  I have some DVDs (NTSC) I want to convert to h.264 using Handbrake. Could somebody tell me what bitrate I should use to get the maximum quality without overdoing it so much that the enhanced bitrate isn't making the quality better? Does handbrake have a setting to just produce the maximum quality? I don't want to import my DVD collection only to find out I could of done something to make the quality better, so I'd rather get it right the first time. I tried asking in the forums, but I didn't get an answer. Thanks!  
(Version 0.7.1)

JAZZADDICT  Does this version bring back Camino compatibility?  
(Version 3.0b1)

JAZZADDICT  I posted a comment on the developers blog asking him to post a link to the previous version because I installed the newest version before realizing it was not Camino compatible. He erased my comment, and did not post the link. If someone could put the 2.6.2 version on their idisk or site and post a link here, I'd appreciate it greatly.  
(Version 2.6.3)

JAZZADDICT  The fact that an .app which is used to wipe out other .apps has been one of the most linked to and talked programs in the past few months is kind of ironic. I mean... it's even created its own verb. I don't uninstall applications... I Zap them! I have also adopted the word into my everyday vocab. I don't dump girlfriends... I Zap them! Perferences and all. I've noticed I download much more freeware/demoware since buying this .app. Great application... or should I say anti-application.  
(Version 1.7)

JAZZADDICT  Brilliant! One of the best applications I've ever used. Curio is very flexible. I've probably saved a rainforest worth of paper using this app. It allows me to brainstorm and record ideas faster than I can with pen and paper. Then it allows me to take ideas I created during the brainstorm and organize them into beautiful and presentable layouts. The develpers are very nice. Not only do they quicky respond to support inquires, they are also very receptive to feedback. 5 Stars!   
(Version 3.2.2)

JAZZADDICT  In Camino (but not Safari), if I include a number in a search thread it crashes Camino. So, if I search for '411', or 'Catch 22', it crashes. I emailed the developer. Anyone else have this issue? (If this has already been mentioned in a previous post, I apologize.) Seems like all my .apps made by this developer have been having issues. Hope things get better because though his .apps are certainly well conceived, they are in need of tune ups.  
(Version 2.6.2)

JAZZADDICT  Perfect. Much better than the calculator widget. More features. More convenient. Lite on resources. Keep up the great work!  
(Version 1.3.2)

JAZZADDICT  I love this .app. To me, Keynote represents what good software is all about. It is rare that you see such a combination of power, elegance, and inutuitivness. I don't mean to sound like another fanboy, but this one is just that good. To me, it is worth the full price of iwork.  
(Version 3.0.1v2)

JAZZADDICT  I recently gave this .app a try.

What I like:

1. The input methods are brilliant. I love the drop dock, the quick input panel, and the browser bookmarklet. Most PIM/Journal/??? applications only use the service menu, copy & paste, and drag n' drop on the dock to input information from other .apps (with the exceptions of CP's Notebook), but Yojimbo makes adding snippets of information to entries a breeze. In a matter of days the input process became second nature.

2. I love the pre-installed templates or "smart collections." Especially the one for serial numbers.

3. I like the customizable labels feature.

I don't like:

1. No tags/customizable properties.

2. No second level (hierarchical) collections. In other words, no outlining of collections and entries.

3. Limited searching capabilities, though this is understandable since there aren't many properties to search.

All in all, some really unique and well conceived features. The developer really understands usability. But, there are some missing features which I think are essential that will keep me from buying/useing this .app. I will keep it on my watch list to see what happens in the future. This is one .app I will not forget about. :)   
(Version 1.2)

JAZZADDICT  I tried to visit the developer's website to get his email address and it was down. www.santasw.com. I googled mainmenu to make sure I had the write URL, and in the google site description for www.santasw.com it said (says)

"Hacked by Black-Code & CRASH_OVER_RIDE Arab Security Team No security 4 UR server Ur government kill lebanon innocents peoples and we hacked their servers ! ..."

Weird! I wonder what's up.

(Version 1.5.5)

JAZZADDICT  I love Journler! It's packed with great features. Is has a very tastefully selected combination of features - some inspired from other .apps, some Mac OS X standards, and some which are very unique. My favorite original feature is the method of resource managment. Resource management can be one of the biggest pains with Journal/PIM .apps. Journler has an original approach. It has a clean and elegant way of displaying all the files linked to or embedded in a paticular entry. It takes some getting use to at first, but that is not so much a fault of the program, but more of what comes with switching to an .app with a different way of doing things. It is much more intuitive than Devonthink. (Not to knock Devonthink; it is an excellent .app.) As mentioned in other reviews, the developer is a really benevelent guy, who is very open and responsive to feedback and support inquiries. The forum for this .app is very active, and willing to help newbies. The program is still a little bit buggy, and has some stability issues, but the developer is very passionate about his program, and with every release it gets better and and better. Don't let the current price fool you! This .app is a worthy competitor to other .apps of the same category, though I must say, defining what exactly that category is can be diffcult. Journal has all the features of a great "Journaling" application, yet the some of the goodness of Personal Info Managers, and Word Processors. I look forward to future releases!  
(Version 2.0.1)

JAZZADDICT  Nice, but a bit lost. I'm played with this .app for a while and found that though it does what it's meant to do, and and is stable as far as I can tell, I could not find a practical means to bring it into my workflow. I currently do my web research with a combination of Devon Agent, iclip, and Journler. I feel like this .app needs more time to mature. What I think this would be great for is an .app for kids k-12 or anyone not very experienced with web research. One thing I think they should add are contextual menu items for copying selected text to the note pad, and images to the Photos bin. I'll keep it in my system and see where it goes. Peace :)  
(Version 1.5)

JAZZADDICT  Good .app. I found the GUI a little non-intuitive and aesthetically insipid. I prefer the cocoa aqua gooey look. To each his own, right. Nevertheless, this .app is an essential to keeping my bookmarks organized. Good features. Stable. I thought it was a little expensive at first but upon further use I relized how much effort the developer must of put in to make this happen. Ugly icon... I replaced it with this http://www.iconfactory.com/preview.asp?type=search&id=218&query=puppy.

Overall... Sweet!  
(Version 3.6)

JAZZADDICT  Sweet! Works without a glitch. What would I do without this .app? Worthy of a donation for sure!  
(Version 3.5)

JAZZADDICT  I like how it indexes pref panes, widgets, and internet plug-ins. Though some people might find this useless because they are confident that they can easily zap .apps via a spotlight search and draging to trash, for others who are more paranoid, this works. This .app does what it is meant to do well. Period.

Warning: If you attempt tp Zap Appzapper with Appzapper you will be sucked into a worm hole and get spit out in the body of John Malkovich.  
(Version 1.6.0)

JAZZADDICT  Though quicksilver is touted for its openness, flexibility, and freeness I still will continue my loyalty to Launchbar because of it's dependability, stability, and support. Oh yeh, and also the fact that it is just plain wicked. This .app is so crucial to my workflow that it actually comforts me to know that the developers are being payed and are commited towards further devolopment and support. One thing that sucks is that when I sit down at a Mac without Launchbar I feel handicaped. I would recommend this to any Mac user. Superb!  
(Version 4.1.1)

JAZZADDICT  I'll second the previous reviewer. Nice GUI, nice rendering, missing essential features, unstable. There are actually two seperate applications in this download ; one is the reader, and one the delivery manager which should be included into the program. Once my MacWorld subscibtion expires I'll stick to MacWorld.com   
(Version 2.1)

JAZZADDICT  I had similar usability issues as other reviewers, and I found Virtue was only useful when I wanted to have more than one .app stuck to one desktop, and that only works if you have the screen real-estate to do so. I still like where this project is going! Lots of functionality issues still need to be worked out, such as having Virtue recognize certain applications and windows within applications. I look foward to future releases.  
(Version 0.52r155)

JAZZADDICT  I have the "Type ","or"." to switch tabs option selected but I've run into a bit of a problem. Lets say I have the google search selected (command>option>F) and I want to start using the feature. I press tab to get out of the seach bar and it takes my to a text field in the web page (no good), so I press tab again and end up in the url field (no good) so I press tab again and I'm back where I started. So then I grab my mouse and click on the page for the feature to work. Anyone know how I can get around this without having to touch the mouse. I tried switching to "Full keyboard access" (control F7) but this only works on some pages, and I have to hit tab way to many times as every field/link/whatever gets selected in the page. Anyone? Thanks!  
(Version 2.0b14)

JAZZADDICT  Good .app but it messes up the dock hiding function. When attemptimg to hide (or show) the dock using command>option>D, while holding down the keys the dock will hide (or appear if down to begin with) but as soon as the key command is released it goes back to it's previous state. A bit annoying for us dock hiders, but not a very critical bug. Otherwise, this .app saves me a lot of time from fliping through menus to find a key command, and it keys my hand off the mouse which is a must.  
(Version 2.0.1)

JAZZADDICT  Sweet... I like it more than using Growl for notifications. I keep my dock hidden, and usually have my system output going to my headphones which are often not on my head. This is really useful. Keep up the good work.  
(Version 1.2b4)

JAZZADDICT  Works just as it says. Very useful. Saves me a lot of time!  
(Version 1.0.6)

JAZZADDICT  Great .app! Really great GUI! I don't have a huge use for it as I rather use Lauchbar to surf my itunes Library, nevertheless, this is really cool. I would like it if it had the features of Clutter (another great free app) which lets you copy Amazon artwork directly into itunes. Also in Clutter when you use the "Lookup on Amazon" feature it shows the results in the application as opposed to opening up the Amazon page in your web browser (as CoverFlow does). Overall... good and free.  
(Version 1.990)

JAZZADDICT  Great utility! I use it over Onyx. I should of never bought cocktail. Waste of money. OnyX and Cocktail have more features, but having Main Menu ready to use at moments notice for disabling the dashboard, and relaunching the finder/dock is cool. This program is really good at automating the maintenance. Needs to be updated for 10.4.6!  
(Version 1.5.3)

JAZZADDICT  Really Nice vlog/vidcast software. I like it a lot more than DTV because it is more stable and has way more features. Once DTV finds its way out of beta, it will probably be pretty good, but for now it's not to great. Fireant is still in beta, but it is running well. I can't wait for the 1.0 release!

Just a note, what will really be amazing is when Apple builds in a better podcast aggrigator into itunes, and better searching for podcasts. Searching for podcasts in the itms is not as well working as with music. Having a seperate app to do this takes up more resources than I'd like. Nevertheless, fireant is sweet.
