EVAL  Site is back up. They had some provider trouble, I guess. The URL http://www.busysync.com/ works if your DNS hasn't updated to the new provider.

EVAL  Site seems to be down yesterday and today. Weird.

This is the simplest and most reliable way to sync calendars among users on a network. It is expensive relative to the competition though.

DOOBIEXX  True more expensive but feature list is much longer than competitors. Depending on your needs you can go with a good free sync app or get busycal and have an all in one ical. Like the dev says it's ical on steroids. Personally I think it is worth the money, especially since it is a one and done cal app which suites my needs. It is fully functional shareware for 30 days though so you get a chance to see if it is worth the $30 they are asking. Remember this is still in beta! Can only get better, unless circumstances the dev can't control prevent further development but I don't think that is the case. I like the app, I like it in conjunction with ideskcal, calendar apps are a hard thing to choose and pay for, each app has it's ups and downs but this seems to have more up's than down's... Good post though man. Definitely points out the big issue of price. +1 from me.

EVAL  To be clearer, the icon for this indicates the possibility of a joke/malware. The downloaded file after unzipping is called "HyperReader" not Stanza Reader. There is no "More Information" link/developer info. I'm sure that the use of "Stanza" in the name isn't legitimate, since Amazon bought them.

iBackup for Mac
May 7 2009

EVAL  What is the difference between iDrive and iBackup? These two seem to have identical software except for the logo. iDrive is significantly less expensive and offers more space, and seems to be actively updated. The iDrive website says both companies are owned by Pro Softnet Corporation. Does iBackup just continue to exist as a first marketing attempt?

iBackup for Mac
Jul 3 2009

MKAY  that's what I'd like to know. Where's the difference between idrive and (this) ibackup?

identical looking client, even the company seems to be the same (Pro Soft).

only differentce I see is the price tag (this, not the original) ibackup is 5 time the price of idrive's.

hmm? confusing if not alerting as I do use idrive...

WeatherCal
Mar 31 2009

EVAL  This is nice, but the same thing is free from Weather Underground without installing any software.

Go to http://www.wunderground.com/ , type in your postal code, and click Go. On the resulting page, right-click (or Control-click) on the ICAL icon on the right hand side of the page over from the location name, and choose Copy Link. Go to iCal, and choose Subscribe... from the Calendar menu. Paste the URL and click OK. You can change the title and refresh frequency in the following dialog. The resulting calendar can be sync'd with an iPhone or other iCal/SyncServices compatible device.

EVAL  I had to manually add the ACPI driver from the Windows XP CD in order to finish the hardware setup, and then Windows Activation worked.

Parallels Desktop
Nov 11 2008

EVAL  Apparently the manual upgrade process requires three restarts, and the failure message is unclear. Ignore it, and click OK, then manually start the upgrade process from the virtual CD, you will see the four stages proceed, one after each restart once you get the "Upgrade failed" error. I still had to manually install Parallel Tools after that (even though the upgrade screen indicated that it was doing this as part of step 4). Windows XP displayed an error saying that the hardware has significantly changed, and required re-Activation, which failed.

EVAL  I would hold off on upgrading until they have the issues fixed.

As others have reported, my Windows XP upgrade didn't complete automatically, the manual process isn't going as describe, and the troubleshooting guide is not providing the desired answers. I'm stuck at "Unable to upgrade the virtual machine." until support gets back to me.

It seems they are prepared for people to have this problem, rather than solving it before release.

EVAL  An update to the NetFlix site in the past week must have broken version 1.4. This doesn't work as of 5/10/2008 (perhaps earlier).

EVAL  Would love to have a more reliable DivX player than VLC, but this appears to be an early beta. The UI is promising, but the performance is very poor compared to VLC and even QuickTime player. Jerky playback, slow scaling.
