Apple Mac OS X	Sep 10 2009	MU FREQUENTER Installed the full standalone updater from apple's site. No problems at all; works great on my late 2006 MBP. (Version 10.6.1)		+3

Transmission	Sep 9 2009	MU FREQUENTER Nice update. The fixes are noticeable right away and maybe it's just me but I'm connecting to more peers and faster too. Thanks. (Version 1.75b2)		+5

NetNewsWire	Jul 30 2009	MU FREQUENTER Puke, adware? I didn't catch that before overwriting my current version with this one. Thanks to Time Machine I was able to recover the last good version. (Version 3.2b6)		+6

VLC Media Player	Apr 5 2009	MU FREQUENTER Best media player out there hands down. However, for the good of the project, PPC will have to be abandoned at some point. What's the efficiency in supporting an obsolete platform? With their limited Mac developers, why waste support on the PPC black hole? Previous versions are stable and can play anything out there. That's good enough for PPC. No need to slow down development just to satisfy a vocal, diminishing minority. (Version 0.9.9a)		-5

ILGAZ It is not up to you to decide or even them unless they REJECT donations from PowerPC community and help from IBM.

You got some manners there to call a 3 years old platform diminished.

This is exactly why I stay away from open source and its so-called community. What will you tell when Apple releases upcoming Quicktime X for Leopard/PPC?

SDERTY1 Can't agree more. Drop support for PPC and go on with Intel. Don't lose your time with that old crap.

YOSHINATSU I do have some issues, even with the 0.9.9a version.

Even though VLC does play .rmvb and .rm files for me (not perfect though), playback seems a little fast to my eyes.

In all kinds of videos. Dunno. Did they change the codecs?

They all seem... faster :/

ANONYMOUS Whoever gave these fellahs negative numbers are insane. They didn't say anything worth getting negged for. Shame on you.

ALJUK "What's the efficiency in supporting an obsolete platform?"

PPC is a long way from obsolete.

"Previous versions ... can play anything out there."

No, they can't.

You sound quite ignorant.

TV Forecast	Sep 27 2008	MU FREQUENTER Great app. Comments about 'unknown' seem to be the result of recent updates. Update to the latest version and it'll fix the 'unknown' for your shows. Again, a fantastic application that works wonderfully. (Version 2.3.4)		+1

iVPN	Jul 27 2008	MU FREQUENTER I can appreciate your desire to make money (Capitalism is good), but disabling the previous versions is a nasty move. It's like slapping your fan base in the face. If you built it for free so far, then you're not out anything. Now that you want to charge, the best thing from a relations standpoint is to charge for future upgrades and releases. (Version 2.5)		0

iVPN	Jul 27 2008	MU FREQUENTER What the heck developer? Version 2.45 doesn't work because it tells me a new version is avalable, then presents a pop-up within the application for serial number or a Buy button. This stinks. You had to have known you'd charge for this, and I bet your recent updates put in place the lock-out mechanism for the free version. Everyone on MacUpdate should know what a sleazy move this is.

AJMACSERVE Well I'm sorry for wanting something in return for all my hard work. Do you know how many hours of work have gone into developing this application!? I didn't think my app would be so popular and so released it as opensource. Once I saw how many people were downloading it, I realized I could actually make some money from this. If I'd have released it as commercial ware in the first place, then you wouldn't be complaining. More of you should have shown some gratitude by donating.

E_COMMERCE I have no problem with paying for this software, but I would not disable old versions (which is what it sounds like from the tenor of the other post). That type of situation has backfired on other developers VERY badly in the past.

In summary - 2.45 and below should continue to function indefinitely - it's how they were sold. 2.5 and above, shareware.

AJMACSERVE Who's going to buy iVPN if they can get it for free though? I know what I've done will annoy a lot of people but if I'd have known how popular iVPN was going to be, I would have charged for it from the start. SORRY! Alright? But I need to make money too, just like everyone else.
