M-RICK  there quite more simple to do :

Before installing, in ~/Library/Google/

Create a locked GoogleSoftwareUpdate folder and that's it, Google Update will never be able to put it's spyware in here anymore.

just like here http://www.mac4ever.com/images/images_actu/47398_744_astuce_faire_taire_google_update.png

If it has already installed before, just do the steps has described in MacOS X hints to uninstall Google Update and then do my my trick and that's it.

here is a screen capture i made after installing Google Desktop, it has been perfectly installed excepting Google Update http://www.mac4ever.com/images/images_actu/47398_224_astuce_faire_taire_google_update.png

For those who can read French, i put it there http://www.mac4ever.com/news/47398/astuce_faire_taire_google_update/

OmniFocus

*....

M-RICK  It is a pure crap to be used with an iPod/iPhone ...

I am disappointed because usually Omnigroup makes good softwares.

OmniFocus works very well and does very well what it is supposed to do in stand alone usage, and offers numerous great features.

But, when comes the time to use it with its iPod/iPhone client ... it is really a pain, the synchronisation will just never work whatever you do : deactivate the Firewall, stopp LittleSnitch running if you intalled it, no result it will just never work, if you use an older version, the 1.5, it will just never work too untill you deactivate the Firewall.

I am sorry, but it is the ONLY one application that is not working with my iPod.

1password that offers the same features of syncing a database with an iPod/iPhone works perfectly without having to trick a firewall there or to deactivate these other feature here ...

So yes i am disappointed especially because even the support will not care and is not able to do soemthing !

But it is the only which has been to recover all the songs without duplicating a lot of them, only 40.

So it only get 3 stars thanks to this. To get more resolve for your really serious unstbility problems ! So the pricing remaining always to much high for something that will not work correctly.

M-RICK  I don't see any improvement in the drag and drop the library.

Libraries can now be exported/imported

but it is still laccking of the following anyway :

- Snapping much be improved, when starting to draw from a point, it is not highlited, no way to force a perdicular from any line or drawing to any line, no tangent, no parallels tool.

- Snapping to intersection, middle, extremity works only when it is the destination point, but not when it is the initial drawing point.

- No Snapping enabling with a modifier key.

- No linked dimensions.

- No dimensioning tool like area or perimeter, no dimensioning style settings.

- No numeric input for objects.

- No B-Spline.

- When applying effect to image or vectors they are downscaled in bitmap objects ...

- If a scale has been set for the current document, the objects dragged from the library to the document are not adjusted to the current scale of the document ...

Skype
Aug 7 2008
**...

M-RICK  Skype 2.7.0.330 for Mac OS X a lot of problems ...

This last update of Skype for Mac OS X, is very very bad ...

- It takes a lot of CPU (around 90 % and even more sometimes !) and makes it warm up a lot and the ventilation is going like crazy, nice to make a chat ...

- The sound cuts for a while from the incoming call at a regular repeating interval and for the same time (around 30 s).

- The video freezes and get disconnected around every 5 mn for a few seconds.

And all of this didn't happen with previous versions, it is only with the 2.7.0.330 and i am not the only one to have these problems since they are a lot of users i know and a lot of posts in the forums ...

Mac OS X 10.4.11 / MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33 Ghz / 3 Gb RAM

If it can't work well with that, well it works with nothing !

So it is absolutely not optimized at all for Mac OS ... just working, but not very well ... I am planning to move to something else that just works like Gizmo or iChat.

M-RICK  For sure i will not buy Hear ! i have downloaded it yesterday afternoon to give it a try, so ok it corrects well the sound, no doubt.

But tonight i spent 1 H to figure out why i couldn't use Skype anymore ! Deleted pref and everything, but just for nothing ! No chat software, nor imovie, nor Photo Booth (strange it doesn't use sound ...) nor any other software using sound or video output were able to launch ! Until I restared with the extensions disabled and they worked ! I removed everything belonging to Hear and restarted and ho miracle everything was working back ! It was the Hear.plugin stored in the /library/Audio/HAL folder that was conflicting.

Hey guys, check your softwares before releasing them !

Hear
Aug 6 2008

GORDON BELL  Hi there,

Sorry you did not like the Hear product. Most customers have been very happy with the product and how it improves their music, movies, games,etc.... It's really important to make sure you tweak the EQ Settings to your preference (the standards are just starting points...)--

Because of the way Hear works, you cannot simply trash the prefs file, delete the app,etc.. Hear works system-wide, which means it must be uninstalled using the uninstaller (under the Hear drop-down menu)-- By trying to remove it piece-by-piece, yes, you created a little extra work for yourself... It's easy, just use the uninstaller and restart and you'll be fine---

Cheers,

Gordon from JoeSoft--

QuickShareIt
Jul 18 2008
**...

M-RICK  Why QuickShareIt is limited to 100 Mb ?

Pando and Podmailing can upload for free up to 1 Gb, which is 10 times what QuickShareIt can do.

So the interface is maybe eye kandy, but the interest remains a little bit limited. Also the bandwith for the free version is good enough to upload at a little bit more than 110 Kb/s which is not bad, while QuickShareIt cannot go over 40 Kb/s ...

Anyway QuickShareIt doesn't work very well ... it is said that there is not need to create an account to upload a file, I made a try, ... i get a growl notification that the upload has began, but the uploads window remains empty ...

After having created an account, it was possible to upload, but when registereing the parameters in the software crash ... So relaunch after.

Bad points i know that something is uploading but nothing in the upload window !! Completely unlogical, just the icon in the dock let you know the status !

Plus, if you leave the software before the uploading is finished, at the next launch, QuickShareIt will not resume anything ...

So sorry, but for now i prefer by far Pando and Podmailing they are far way better, just with their basic features.

OmniWeb

M-RICK  To get the functionalities of OW in Safari :

- PitHelmet ($10), Safari Block is free, but equivalent to OW ad blocking features. CutX ($19) is even better, but more expensive too than OW alone ...

- SafariDepot (Free)

- TabStop (Free)

- DownloadComment (Free)

- SafariPlus (Free)

- SafariStand (Free)

- Saft ($12)

To make it short, even if they are a lot of free plug ins, to get absolutely all the functionalities of OW in Safari, it will cost you more. A single paying plug-in is almost already the price of OW ...

Firefox is free and can be enhanced by a lot of free plug-ins, but what a so heavy browser .... And it becomes even heavier every time a new plug-in is added, plus there are sometimes conflicts between plug-ins ...

Camino is free, there are a few plug-ins available and free too, but it will not compete with OW functionalities.

Microsoft Office 2008
Feb 17 2008
**...

M-RICK  I am very dispointed with this latest release of Office 2008.

It is supposed to be an Intel native version, but it is so so slow ......

Even on a G5 ...

It is simple the old MS Office X of November 2001 is a Ferrari compared to the 2008 ! Knowing that it will also run in Rosetta mode on an Intel Mac !

That not to speak about the instability, the numerous bugs, the end of the VBA support ...

Excel is a model of slowness, complex calculation on several cells will be almost immediate in Office X or Office 2007 for Windows, but can take up to 30 s for the same in 2008 ! Unbelievable ...

It will even be faster using Office 2007 for Windows through Parallels !!

The Exchange support for Entourage will not work as good as it was expected, so the compatibility is there but not very good sometimes ...

Word will systematically convert the pictures pasted in it, something that didn't happen in previous versions, not to say it will crash if the document becomes to much huge. Plus the compatibility with other documents realized with previous versions of Word or from Windows version is very bad sometimes.

Powerpoint, same problem, plus it becomes almost unsable after 8 slides !

Plus it is even not supporting complex scripts languages a very long time request on OS X, since the MS Office X version of 2001 ! But excepting in PowerPoint where Arabic or Hebrew can be used, we don't know why M$ permit it there, but not in Word, Excel, nor Entourage ....

And why M$ put the pages elements on top of the document window already stuffed with the toolbars, so less space of display, while almost every body has a wide screen now !

So I have request for refund because the cosmetics changes are not enough, we were waiting for more than this.

M-RICK  I tried to use the software, but it doesn't work, it is unbelievably buggy, impossible to play a movie it will never show any window, only the prefences ...

Also it doesn't seem to be able to read subtitle file s what is desperatly missing in QuickTime.

If I pya a software it's for feature that are missing in others, paying just to catalog my movies and see a nice front .... well I don't care.

So why should I pay, vlc is working pretty well, of course cosmetics in less, but it works and ofers more features and and can read subtitles.

I removed it because i don't need it.

- Snapping much be improved, when starting to draw from a point, it is not highlited, no way to force a perdicular from any line or drawing to any line, no tangent, no parallels tool.

- Snapping to intersection, middle, extremity works only when it is the destination point, but not when it is the initial drawing point.

- No Snapping enabling with a modifier key.

- No linked dimensions.

- No dimensioning tool like area or perimeter, no dimensioning style settings.

- No import/export symbol collections.

- No numeric input for objects.

- No B-Spline.

- When applying effect to image or vectors they are downscaled in bitmap objects ...

the only way is to use the data entry in meters, but all the software remains in feet, all the windows, everything, and the scale is still in imperial system ... You can't use a scale for exemple 1/100 in meters, you need to convert it first.

In the preferences, there is no way to select or to set up which system to use ...

If there is a way to change this, so it is really not intuitive ...

M-RICK  http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/06/07/rhino.coming.to.mac/

3D modeling program Rhino coming to Mac

The popular 3D modeling program Rhino will be making its way to Mac OS X in the near-term, with a public beta due to arrive shortly. Currently a Windows only product, Rhino can create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate, and translate NURBS curves, surfaces, and solids. It also supports polygon meshes and point clouds. Apparently the Mac OS X version of Rhino will ship with features that are designed to take advantage of technology available exclusively in Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), due in feature-complete beta form during next week's Worldwide Developer conference (WWDC) in San Francisco

Architosh spoke with @Last Software (developer of Rhino) CEO Bob McNeel at COFES, reporting "Bob was -- like most developers considering the Mac platform -- cautiously optimistic. The same thing could be said of the Alias folks prior to bringing Maya to Mac OS X, or IMSI/Design with TurboCAD. And UGS' decision to fully support NX 5 on the upcoming Leopard OS is also guarded with this mixture of caution and optimism."

Additional features of the Rhino application include 2-D drafting, annotation, and illustration; ability to ix extremely challenging IGES and mesh files support for wide variety of 3-D digitizing arms, 3-D scanners, and 3-D printers; and ability to scale performance to slower systems.

Also, when I see the reactivity of the supported softwares compared with the reactivity of them running in Parallels with Windows running in back ground in the same time .... I remain dubious ...

Actually the virtualisation with the Coherence system of Parallels is really really more usable than CrossOver as of stability, as of reactivity and integration.

JKT  If you are a web developer and the only Windows app you need to use is IE 6 to check your code for compatibility (and there is no Mac equivalent), then buying Parallels plus a version of Windows for several hundred dollars is not sensible or appealing. However, only having to pay $30 or so for Crossover might be. The wine project and Crossover have a place for some users for which bootcamp and parallels are complete overkill. Whether they can live up to their promise is a matter of debate, but if they can, then there is a market for them.

M-RICK  For me it is very stable on my both PPC and Intel Macs.

Intel demo supports PNG, both demo versions will be updated soon.

The developper told me also it will be more integrated in Mac OS X for next releases, not done yet because it is cross platform, and Mac needs a special development for that, but planed anyway.

missing localization.

At this price, it is a better software than photoshop elements or GIMP, and accessible. i think some comments should remain reasonable compared to the price and the available functions and the ease of use.

Wait for the Mac OS X desktop integration and we will see.

"

new versions for MacOSX, both PPC and Intel can open/save PNG files.

These are available for customers for now, but new demo version should

be available shortly.

I'm planning to add native Menubar for MacOSX, but since you know Pixel

is cross-platform this is another difference I have to handle on Mac.

There is a preview when you open files, simply expand the File open

dialog by clicking on "

M-RICK  Stitch photos really better and easier than Sticher, for less.

Drag and drop the photos and it will stich them automatically, you don't see the connection between 2 pictures unlike Sticher.

M-RICK  Beautiful Interface, but that doesn't do everything. Azureus still remains the for me simply because it supports encryption and works perfectly with all servers.

M-RICK  The best virtualization software i have ever seen !

I tried it before it's official release, and after a short time of use, the first thing I did was to order !!

I use everyday at work to run Windows XP to access the Windows only estmating/invoicing software we use on the server plus to run AutoCAD 2006.

Simple, I never had just a crash with it !!

And it is even more faster that almost all the PCs there are in my compagny.

The only thing import, RAM, give it a lot of RAM and keep enough too for Mac OS X, and you will never have surprises.

Excellent product and sold for an accessible and reasonable price, especially compared to the power and the quality of this product.

Maybe one thing I would like to change, the interface to manage VM, it would prefer something like Q, that looks better. But after, it works perfectly and this is the most important to me.

M-RICK  Maybe the best browser available on Macintosh with so much and so complete features available for such a long time before others for certain of them !

Fast and well integrated in the Mac OS X environnment and really respect the GUI.

Also an excellent and friendly support team.

The still remaining lack is maybe the stability, fortunately there are the work spaces to not loose everything after a crash.

My favorite browser compared to all the others available.

LOKHEED  Not true. SimplyRAR uses a shareware version of RAR where features are crippled (e.g., authentication, etc.).

What the author needs to do is make it a Universal binary.

M-RICK  If it was free i wouldn't say nothing, but as a shareware, it doesn't worth the money at all, and quite a lot of softwares can do better than this for almost the same price. as said in a previous comment, Cadintosh does really better for exactly the same price, there is also Doodle Cad that is completely better than this piece of soft unstable and unusable ...
