VLC Media Player	Oct 8 2008	GMAX The latest version is 0.9.4... but when you download the PowerPC-specific package for VLC it's actually 0.9.3c. What gives? (Version 0.9.4)		0

FOLLEREC Go to VLC's website and download it again. They made a mistake and included the older 0.9.3 binaries. They are now rereleasing the correct version 0.9.4 for PowerPC in the PowerPC and Universal Binaries packages.

RINTINTIN Yeah thanks, but nothing's pirated here. We have 4 CS3 suites at work and I own one myself. Everythings up to date and all have the same issues.

LCD Scrub	Sep 5 2008	GMAX Who, in their right mind, would pay $18 for this when there are several free alternatives? (Version 1.1)		0

LCD Scrub

DSANDLER The free alternatives have a number of limitations. Standalone apps must be started manually; they don't work unless you remember to use them. Java applets can't draw over the entire screen, and a great deal of image persistence on Macs occurs in areas a web-based tool can't touch (e.g. the menu bar and Dock). Finally, I'm not aware of any other software that uses high-contrast moving patterns like the ones pioneered by LCD Scrub, which, in my own personal experience, have worked where other techniques and tools did not.

X-Moto	Jun 24 2006	GMAX Don't even bother downloading this version (0.1.16), it won't even launch on my PowerBook, only does one bounce then nothing... Zzz... What's the point of releasing this software if it doesn't work? Zzz... (Version 0.1.16 Alpha)		0

CoverTunes

May 19 2006

MACUPDATE ADMIN "...why is this a demo?"

Because the developer does not make it perfectly clear on the website for this app whether it is free or not.

"Is the developer planning to charge cash for software that is a blatant copy of something else?"

You should at least do a little research before making accusations. The first words on the developer's website for this app:

"I really like CoverFlow, this is what it should be like when browsing your music library. But I felt there were some things missing from that app, so I decided to make my own. I call it CoverTunes..."

Sony Ericsson Themes Creator	Apr 26 2006	GMAX Dude, the P800 was not included since it does not support themes/skins natively. There are third party software to do this. And yes, the P800 is a great phone, I had one too. (Version 2.40)		0

Iridium	Apr 25 2006	GMAX Nice theme. However, a little too bright, I personally prefer UNO's cleaner look. (Version 1.9.F)		0

Corel Painter	Apr 22 2006	GMAX The speed improvements on this update is real, the brushes are now more 'tangible' than ever before. I don't like Corel but I love Painter! BTW: Never had any problems with the 9.1 or 9.5 updates. Seriously. (Version 9.5)		0

SJK HardwareGrowler doesn't obviate the need for NetGrowler. While my Macs run HG, I can imagine reasons why some people might rather run HG on theirs.

MMOUSE Unlike Hardware Growler, however, NetGrowler doesn't leave an icon in the dock, and thus can be run as a 'background' app, staying more out-of-the-way.

Flock	Mar 15 2006	GMAX Still too buggy and crashes a lot. Most features don't work as well as it's intended to. Holds promise, but I see no reason to use Flock over Safari/Camino. (Version 0.5.13)		0

MARC EDWARDS It shouldn't be.

Nothing has changed with the code that should affect performance. Please check again.
