DARUKARU  With the latest 5.10 sneakypeeks, OmniWeb has all of the best features of Safari 4 (blazing fast rendering and JavaScript performance) with none of the drawbacks (Safari 4's bizarre tabs), and a bevy of additional features. The Site Preferences alone are indispensable—the ability to set custom style sheets on a per-site basis is something that every browser should ship with by default.

Its adblocking isn't quite as powerful as Firefox with Adblock Plus, and I wish it supported GreaseKit user scripting, but there's very little else to complain about.  
(Version 5.9.2)

DARUKARU  This isn't for people who aren't comfortable with the command line--if you don't know or care what /usr/local/bin is, or how to put things there, give it a pass. If you want a great GUI for encoding MP3s, try Max.  
(Version 3.98)

DARUKARU  Wow. Twelve dollars for an ugly wrapper around QuickTime with a bunch of sponsor links. I can't wait to send the money.  
(Version 4.0)

DARUKARU  A nice little app. It's about as good as Vuze/Azureus when it comes to maximizing peer connections and download speeds (an area where Transmission has always fallen flat), but without the multi-hundred-megabyte RAM footprint.

It doesn't seem to have any ability to save into any folder other than the default download folder in the preferences, though.  
(Version 0.9b)

DARUKARU  No longer appears to work after the Sirius/XM channel lineup merge.  
(Version 1.0)

DARUKARU  The Plex Seven series takes a big step forward towards integration with the iLife suite. The streamlining of the preferences is also a bonus. Unfortunately the main attraction (library mode) is still touchy and unforgiving to set up, and there still doesn't appear to be an easy way to fix library entries that aren't scanned correctly.  
(Version 0.7)

DARUKARU  It keeps getting better with every new version. It still won't see/connect to as many peers as Azureus will, though, which is weird.  
(Version 1.32)

DARUKARU  The amount of virtual memory a process takes up (as displayed in Activity Monitor) is largely irrelevant. What does bother me is that iScrobbler randomly jumps to 300+ MB of real RAM use (even on a 3GB system this is nontrivial) and never goes down again until I quit the app and restart it.  
(Version 2.2b5)

DARUKARU  Absolutely beautiful upscaling--better than QuickTime or VLC's to my eye. DVDs look nearly HD.

More documentation about how to set up the media library would be helpful. Heck, more documentation period.  
(Version 0.5b5)

DARUKARU  I don't know how Adobe did it, but they managed to produce the worst version of the Flash plugin yet. I hope this is an early beta and there's a lot of improvements yet to come.  
(Version 10.0.1b218)

DARUKARU  There really doesn't seem to be a use for this with Perian around.  
(Version 1.0a)

DARUKARU  To call the interface clunky would be an understatement (although it's still better than SiriusMac), but the functionality is all there. Smarter trackers and the ability to actually play the SIR-only stations seal the deal.  
(Version 1.0b10)

DARUKARU  3.0b1 is somewhat buggy, but the nightlies following it are greatly improved. Less daring users should probably wait until 3.0b2, especially since more extensions will be updated by then.

That said, text rendering quality (and web rendering in general) and memory usage are vastly improved over Firefox 2.

Brave testers should visit https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397723 to download a preview of the new theme that will be featured when 3.0 goes final.  
(Version 3.0b1)

DARUKARU  How to save $6:

1) Change your library folder in the iTunes preferences.

2) Advanced -> Consolidate Library…  
(Version 1.5)

DARUKARU  Input Managers still work, with some restrictions:

"The requirements (from the AppKit release notes, which aren't yet posted on developer.apple.com):

* /Library/InputManagers only

* Must be owned by root user and admin group, with no write permissions for group or other (755/644).

* Processes running as root user or with wheel group won't load them.

* Processes can't change user/group id

* No 64-bit processes"  
(Version 0.8.2)

DARUKARU  Does what it says on the box.  
(Version 1.0.1)

DARUKARU  Give away a crippled app for free, then sell "plugins" ($20 a pop, $40 for a bundle) to restore functionality to it? Interesting business model, to be sure.  
(Version 4.0)

DARUKARU  Even people who buy Windows PCs are rejecting Vista in droves, so this isn't really surprising. It's not the fault of Parallels, it's that you purchased a crappy OS to run on it.  
(Version 3.0.5120)

DARUKARU  This is a joke, right? A gigantic launcher for a whole 11 programs.  
(Version 1.0)

DARUKARU  The default iTunes 7 skin is pretty bad. This somehow manages to be worse. Reminds me of the bad old days of Kaleidoscope schemes.  
(Version 1.0)

DARUKARU  There's a massive memory leak somewhere in this. After a few days running it consumes 100+ MB of physical memory.  
(Version 2.1)

DARUKARU  Hooray, it's a $20 version of Quicksilver *and* the developer demands you give him your Mac's serial number before you can buy a copy. Paranoid much?  
(Version 1.0)

DARUKARU  Yes, because lots of people are going to confuse an iTunes controller with a virtual KVM switch.   
(Version 3.1.1)

DARUKARU  SetFile -a V (file/folder)

Congratulations, you just saved ten dollars. Put your stuff in an encrypted disk image if you really think the bad guys are out to get you.  
(Version 2.0.2)

DARUKARU  Building a music player on the Mozilla platform is kind of like grafting an umbrella onto a dog's head. Sure, you could do it, but why?  
(Version 0.2.5)

DARUKARU  Only naive people pay the full $200 for BBEdit. All you have to do is "crossgrade" from the free TextWrangler (which itself is more than capable for most people) and your price is cut in half.

Or if you're really cheap you can learn to use emacs, but why would anyone ever want to do a thing like that.  
(Version 8.2.6)

DARUKARU  Of course, theming is completely different under Intel versions of the OS. But let's not let that stop anyone from complaining.  
(Version 2.3.1)

DARUKARU  Widgets that keep track of other widgets. What's the world coming to.

I can't wait until the widget manager manager widget debuts.  
(Version 1.0)
