MediaLink

SPACEMANSPIFF  Worked great on Leopard but 10.6 breaks MediaLink.

Sent an email to the developer and -- shocker! -- no reply. Same as last time I emailed with them a question. No blog on their site saying what's happening one way or the other.

COVERTCRACKER  Same problem here -- one minute Medialink works (always works better for me to copy the file to the PS3 than stream, even though I'm hardwired -- head off problems before they happen), and the next it doesn't.

Over at Mac Forums (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=780165), someone posted a link to an earlier Medialink version that should still work with Snow Leopard and PS3 3.0 (installed, but haven't tried it yet):

Good luck!

SPACEMANSPIFF  Cool that Forklift's back; a favorite app, I was bummed that it didn't work on Snow Leopard.

Using Quick Look annoyingly resizes the sidebar but it's a start.

VectorDesigner

****.

SPACEMANSPIFF  VectorDeigner has been a fun, educational experience for me, a newbie vector artist. It's fun and easy to use, and very accessible. There are good powerful features here, and they're simple to use and surprisingly powerful.

The new "VectorDesigner Video Tutorials" have been excellent, extremely helpful for a newbie like me or perhaps for a vector artist looking to quickly learn a few new helpful features.

I recommend VectorDesigner to anyone looking for a clean and simple intuitive vector application. Great stuff!

SPACEMANSPIFF  I agree wholeheartedly with CHAS_M. $50 is entirely too expensive for a simple image browser.

The speed is quite impressive but the price is excessive given the limited functionality.

Bento
Nov 18 2007
*****

SPACEMANSPIFF  So far this has been exceptional - no crashes, predictable behavior, great features.

My plan is to use it to track contacts - last time I spoke with someone, what we talked about, actions I took, etc. For me this is just plain great. Bento integrates well with iCal and Address Book, and best of all I can create custom fields to add the features that I need.

The built-in search and saved/advanced searches feature has also been solid to use. A saved search tells me who I haven't called in 3 weeks, etc. Mail.app integration would be helpful but for my needs it's not essential. I'd also like to see a better manual.

Apple/FileMaker pretty much made precisely the product I needed and just when I need it. Looking forward to the release version. $50 is a bargain.

Skype
Jul 10 2007

SPACEMANSPIFF  Skype support is awful.

I've sent messages asking how to disable caller ID block and gotten no response, and I never heard back when tried to get the SMS to report my mobile phone number as the sender.

Caller ID being blocked by default is ridiculous. I've signed up for Skype Pro and thought I would be able to solve my Skype problems using Skype's website; near as I can tell the only thing the website makes easy is billing.

Skype

AJK  Are you referring to the ability of Skype to send your SkypeIn number as your Caller ID? If so then Caller ID isn't blocked and is gradually becoming available but it depends on the countries involved. It's working fine for me in the UK and I think it's reasonable that I had to activate it via my account page first.

As for SMS caller ID well that's also working fine for me once activated via Skype Preferences. It took a while after activation for me but it is working now, although it might not always work depending on the network your sending to.

Skype Support I can't comment on because after years of using Skype I've never had to use it.

3D Weather & Globe Atlas

***..

SPACEMANSPIFF  After a month of using this application I can say this: It's pretty - gorgeous even - but it simply doesn't do very much.

The weather function? The app shows clouds and it displays the temperature of the city selected on the icon. Atlas? It shows countries on mouseover. Wow.

I like the screensaver it comes with though - looks great.
