RTOURIS  For some reason this latest version steps hard on the brakes after a while into the download, resulting in super fast startups and somewhat slow progress thereafter...This regardless of the file I tried to download setup, .avi, .mp4, .mp3 etc. Perhaps something went wrong in the code? I urge the developer to look into this and come back with a point release that remedies the symptom..

RTOURIS  This is strange to say the least...Let me elaborate. First there was FLVR, a 0.x Safari 2.x plug-in incarnation to d/l flash video...and boy was this an excellent plug-in...With the advent of Leopard came the "demise" of InputManagers, so there was a short developemntal freeze of this project, yet in an unexpected turn of events FVLR dissapeared only to be replaced by Videobox, same company, different name. Not a plugin anymore, but an .app...and then out of the blue this...By a company called "Sourapps" (?!?) as opposed to "TastyApps", the initial developer of FLVR...something fishy's going on here and I don't know what it is... :-/

Now...call me crazy but both tastyapps.com (IP: 72.52.162.67) AND sourapps.com - no pun intended? (IP: 72.52.237.215) trace back to the same ISP and appear to be located on neighbouring geographic locations, so ... I'm just guessing here, but is it really a case of a rogue developer? Too much Conspiracy theory...better take a walk :-)

MACUPDATE ADMIN  No, you're not wearing a tinfoil hat, I had similar curious thoughts when this new soft was posted.

RTOURIS  ROR01,

I can't see the reasoning behind your unsubstanciated comment, ie. "Forget it". The app you suggest is just that, an app, not a widget that provides that much of an extra degree of freedom between the user and the OS. Granted ver. 2.0.1 might have some issues with Leopard, but i trully belive the dev will remedy asap.

Apple Battery Updater
Oct 29 2007

RTOURIS  Further to my initial findings i can now support my claims after tests of about a week. The result is that the update DID surely resolve the reported capacity issue (down to 3500mAh after 45 cycles, it's now back up at 5450mAh), however I am experiencing extremely low real world battery life of about half an hour on minimal CPU strain and unexpected shutdowns attributed to the voltage of the battery. So at least for me this is a no-go, cell is going back to the distributor for a replacement. :-(

RTOURIS  Seems to have solved a deteriorating trend that was building up recently with regards to my battery capacity. Having performed several calibrations and resets of the SMC unit, I was giving up hope watching the capacity dropping all the way down to 3500mAh with only 46 cycles. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to find out that after installing this update the capacity returned to normal values (5450mAh). However I'm holding back further judgement for I need to carry out some testing first in order to justify the capacity readings. Let's see how it does in actual battery life performance and I shall report back with the updated findings in a short while.

RTOURIS  Don't get me wrong but I thought the USSR is no more for years now...This is like referring to present time Yugoslavia, right? All things considered looks like an app which does what it says on the tin..

RTOURIS  Seems to cause Adium's chat window issues...In all installing version 3.0b disables the transparency in Adium's chat windows and reverting back to version 2.0.4 rectifies this and brings back transparency...well beats me but it's still a beta for a reason..Can't say i was impressed with the release, final judgment pending...

RTOURIS  The good just got better...by far...what more can I say for a full, free user-donationware "office" package that is still under heavy development activity. Granted, this is based on Oo code, but the developers are surely putting a lot of effort into this. And being as there is still no X11 Oo dependless build, I am eager to rate this full score ;-)

RTOURIS  Seems there is a compatibility issue between this and Forgetmenot 3.00...Upon launch safari quits instantly and the "report" outlines a rather sinister flood Forgetmenot thread0 exceptions...

TabStop
Feb 17 2007

MYZTIKJENZ  Yeah, this is a known problem. ForgetMetNot and TabStop both swizzle the same methods to watch for tab and window closures. Yanking those methods from ForgetMeNot causes it to go out of control (like you observed) and crash Safari.

I'm looking for a way to get TabStop to play nicely with existing plugins, but for now, the two shouldn't be used together.

RTOURIS  Excellent companion to several video chat applications. Real smooth on my MBP and highly scalable built on a open Quartz Composer plugin architecture. Can also do desktop streaming through apps like Skype for example, this is so cool, not to mention useful in troubleshooting situations and helping others setup programs and the likes.

Keep up the good work!
