NON_PC  Never ceases to amuse me that people try to make you pay for what is done easily for free. In your activity window (option command A or select from Window menu in Safari) look for the largest file. That's the video. Double click on it and it will download. Then drag and drop the file on the FREE iSquint program that will make it a nice MP4 for you.

JPPAGLIARO  Likewise, it never ceases to amaze this developer how people like you compare apples and oranges.

Programs like Seatubes are meant to facilitate the manual operation you describe, especially when you want to perform a batch download.

Programs that simply a workflow are usually worth a small price to pay.

JIMW  It works great. Thank you. My issue is that has turned out to be a bait and switch program. It was first free and then suddenly they now want money for it. Perhaps I missed it but I never saw anything that indicated the free versions were beta releases for a commercial program. In any case I will be taking your tips and be looking in to Automator to hook a procedure together. Thanks again

MAULRAT  It amuses me when people don't know what the phrase comparing apples and oranges means but use it anyways.

Still, this is almost AlphaOmega worthy ... paying for something that can be done fairly easily or is supplied for free by a plethora of other programs/add-ons.

Still waiting for AO's "Computer Is On" program.

JPPAGLIARO  Lets' see, according to wikipedia:

"Apples and oranges" refers to the idiom "comparing apples and oranges" or "apples to oranges", which is used to indicate that two items or groups of items have not been validly compared. The idiom evokes the apparent differences between items which are popularly thought to be incomparable or incommensurable, such as apples and oranges. The idiom may also be used to indicate that a false analogy has been made between two items, such as where an "apple" is faulted for not being a good "orange." Conversely, where the comparison or analogy is valid, the idiom will usually take the form "comparing apples with apples".

I used it because in my opinion a comparision is being made between this program and "rolling your own" or using some time consuming method like searching for URLs in a browser activity log.

One could also solve partial differential equations by hand, but why not use a numerical package or a sophisticated program like Mathematica instead. What's the point you are trying to make?

What also amuses me is how people like you find the time to write caustic "reviews" or comments like this. Don't you have anything better to do?

NON_PC  It needs to prioritize by your favorite team. It should always keep the info for the team chosen as the favorite on top.

ROBERT MORTON  I can see where a highlight would work, but my preference is to keep it chronologically ordered. The teams helmet next to the favorite team would be fine. Picking a standard highlight color would be fine. Having the team colors for the highlights might be cool.

NON_PC  If your laptop wasn't designed to work with the lid closed there is a good reason for it. You're going to over heat it. And probably damage your LCD and or hard drive or motherboard from excess heat that is not being properly dissipated. This is just a very bad idea.

NON_PC  I too have experienced the "mouse movement or scroll through causes VLC to unexpectidly quit" issue. It seems to have been introduced with the Intel version. Since it had never happened to me with the PPC version. Having said that, it is still the best video player and it's free. It plays many different file types and codecs that other players will not. It supports the use of subtitles and has nice audio equalizer features. I use headphones with my MacBook Pro and watching shows on it look great and the sound is near surround quality using VLC. There just isn't a better alternative and again they give it to us free. What more can you ask for?

CHRISTOFER  Is it? This was posted 7 December last year(!) on the GnuPG web site, and still no new version:

"7 December 2006: Attention! There is a security hole in GnuPG versions prior to 1.4.6 and 2.0.2 respectivly. We are working hard to provide you with a current installer for version 1.4.6 as soon as possible. However, meanwhile you should try to compile GnuPG by yourself by making use of the HOWTO found in section Documentation."

NON_PC  Yawn. This may have been worth 20 bucks 15 years ago. But, all you are really doing is funneling ships around. Try it for yourself but, don't get your hopes up. No way I'd ever pay a dime for this.

CODELAIDE.COM  It really depends on your definition of Shareware, and by my definition (and Wikipedia's as well), Lighthouse is Shareware with a 14-day trial period. It is fully functional during this period.

Calling this a demo version would imply that it was functionally crippled during demo use which it is not. For example, a game demo is usually crippled in a way that it only has the first few levels of a game. Lighthouse, on the other hand, is fully functional in trial mode, It only expires after 14 days.

Is there another reason why you were only giving 1 star in every category in your review? Maybe I can help you?

NON_PC  It needs a lot more before you can charge for this. It's OK as far as these tank battle games go (and this is only 1 in a long list) but, as it is it should be freeware. Not enough weapons. The only 2 that matter in this game is the wall and the missile. The few others that are offered are useless. 18 bucks? No way. But you can see yourself.

NON_PC  I've been using this player since it was first released. This is hands down the most valuable app an OS X user can have. And it's free! I am a little concerned however that the latest version is 3X the size of the previous version. I hope it isn't getting too bloated.

But, a big thanks to the VLC crew for continuing to update this great app.

NON_PC  You don't need any software other than iSquint. Simply open your browser's Activity window. Look for the largest file and double click on it. It will then download the file. Then drag and drop the file on iSquint and voila.
