DMNELSON  I have gone back and forth, using virtually every browser under the sun as my default at some point or another since the mid 90's -- including both Safari and Firefox. Both apps excel at being a browser. Either one beats Internet Explorer hands down. But as they say, the devil's in the details.

To me, the issue of Safari vs. Firefox is a debate of form vs. function. Both have their place, and the ideal is a balance of the two -- a blend of aesthetics and utility. With its ability to add extensions, Firefox leans toward the "function" end of the spectrum. Safari leans more toward the "form" end of the spectrum with its sleek appearance and native feel.

Personally I mostly use Safari because all I want is a browser, no extra add-ons. Both do that just fine but Safari is prettier so I choose it. But some people need extensions that are available for Firefox, so they have good reason to favor it instead.

In the end there is no right answer. Just two apps that have a similar core purpose but differ in their priorities. I comes down to which one is a fit for your needs and preferences.  
(Version 3.5.5)

DMNELSON  By far my favorite BitTorrent client. Very Mac-like, easy to use and has all the important features.   
(Version 1.74)

DMNELSON  Yes, Apple has strict rules regarding use of their product names. I know the idea behind "Apple Remote Mouse" is to mean "Apple Remote as a Mouse", but it also sounds like it's saying "Remote Mouse by Apple." Apple won't like that. Personally I'd just drop the Apple from the name and call it "Remote Mouse" or "Remote Mouse for Mac." That way it still says what it does, but without appearing to be an Apple product.  
(Version 1.0)

DMNELSON  I first played this years ago when I found it bundled with Mandrake linux. It's great to see this game maintained for Mac as well, and still free. A simple concept but very entertaining and playable for hours on end. Definitely worth a try.  
(Version 1.0e)

DMNELSON  Some of us like Growl and it can be turned off. Better to have the option and not use it, than to not have it available at all.  
(Version 1.0.2)

DMNELSON  Note that the update is free. It's only expensive if you don't already own 4.x.  
(Version 4.1.1)

DMNELSON  Bombich's Carbon Copy Cloner and NetRestore are by far the two most useful apps I use as a Mac admin and tech. Dead simple for basic cloning/imaging, but capable of being used for much more sophisticated applications if needed.   
(Version 3.1.2)

DMNELSON  Cyberduck is my favorite FTP client. But like the previous commenter, in 3.x I miss having the convenience of having bookmarks in a drawer. I hope this can be made available as an option in the future.  
(Version 3.0b3)

DMNELSON  What's this about "no Aqua version for PPC, but even the Intel Aqua version is missing some stuff"? It's the same download for both - a universal binary. It's identical on both Intel and PowerPC systems. It's not like you have to use X11 to run it on PowerPC or something.  
(Version 2.0.0.8)

DMNELSON  I'm using a MacBook 2GHz (original Core Duo, not Core 2 Duo.) If I open both at exactly the same time MS Office wins, but only by about 5 seconds. Good enough for me, since I want to avoid Office on principle anyway.   
(Version 2.2.1)

DMNELSON  No, I don't use it for writing HTML. I do sometimes develop websites and I have sworn off WYSIWYG editors entirely so I just ignore that part of the suite. :)  
(Version 1.1.3)

DMNELSON  Very reliable for me. Not surprising considering it is the evolution of the original Mozilla, so there has been plenty of time for all the kinks to get worked out. And I use this over Firefox+Thunderbird because I actually kind of like my mail and browser in the same app for some perverse reason. I didn't back in the day when Netscape was popular, but I do now.  
(Version 1.1.3)

DMNELSON  This app looks really cool! Almost makes me wish I were still in school so I could use it. Almost. ;)  
(Version 2.0)

DMNELSON  The PPC link is only for 10.3. It has "Pan" in the name, which is Apple's usual indicator that it is Panther-specific.   
(Version 2007-001)

DMNELSON  Pretty entertaining compared to other holiday-themed screensavers. The price is more reasonable than a lot of shareware out there, though I personally am not interested in paying for a screensaver. After all, it is a "uselsss creation", as the company name states. :)  
(Version 1.2)

DMNELSON  Wow. Quake III is an aging game, and I am impressed that after all this time they've still released a universal binary. Thanks!  
(Version 1.3.2)
