BEDOUIN Flash 10 is completely useless on PPC Macs. I wondered for weeks while videos were playing horribly. If you own a PPC Mac do not bother installing this. I went back to 9 and things are - well, better - but that's not saying much since Flash on Mac has always sucked. (Version 10.0.22.87) | |

KRYSTOF VASA I have to strongly disagree with you. If you read the description, you would note the huuuuuge difference between Safari and Stainless. Stainless - unlike Safari - forks one processes for each site, which makes it more stable and not memory hogging (as any memory retained by a web site is released the moment the tab is closed).

Stainless | Sep 26 2008 |
PETER DA SILVA I have griped about people calling a minimum change to Webkit a new browser, but if this really does provide process isolation inside a tabbed model then it actually DOES bring something worthwhile to the table and so it's not reasonable to dismiss it blithely as merely another 'my first browser' in Webkit.

Art Text | May 14 2007 |
BEDOUIN I first learned about this program in an issue of MacWorld and became curious, especially since an OS X version of TypeStyler seems unlikely, despite the developer's claims. Even if an OS X version of TypeStyler did arrive, I don't think a glorified version of MS Word's "Word Art" is really worth $149! This is more sensible, especially since I was able to snatch it for $24.95 through a one-day promo. My only complaint is that, at times, Art Text borders on being cheesy. Some of the effects remind me too much of the horrific 'word art' found in many MS Publisher-created newsletters. Barf. No Nancy, not every heading needs 5 color 3D graphics. But in the hands of someone with good sensibility Art Text can be a very useful tool, and it's definitely at the right price. Hopefully future versions will bring reduce the cheese factor though.

BTW, if this type of thing amuses you, grab Darwinports (Fink would work too I'd imagine), install fortune, and build up your own quote file. Or -- here's a real innovative idea, keep a list of quotes in a document (Word, Pages, Rich Text, whatever floats your boat) and just open it up.

Adobe Soundbooth CS4 | Oct 27 2006 |
Only recently have some pro-level audio editors allowed you to import MP3s. I don't think early versions of GarageBand did. The reason is that if you are creating a high-quality work, highly compressed material like MP3 will not be acceptable as source material. The question is whether Adobe considers this pro-level for the final product. If Adobe based this on the code of their existing Audition pro audio editor for Windows, the question is not whether it is "impossible" to compile for PPC. The question is whether they think it's "financially worth it" to do a full port to a different CPU. They probably think making a Mac Intel version is an easy win so why not. That's good, because it means if all Macs were still PPC we wouldn't have even had the chance to try this. (Version 1.0b1) | |
