It also installs SIMBL, maybe you need to reboot for that to load?

I can now run my MacBook Pro on battery power!

This fixes the "internal wiring problem" that apple said I have that would required a $1000 out of pocket motherboard replacement. 6 months ago.

There was a bundle promo in july, which would seem to be included in the free upgrade.

Most upgrades are only allowed within 30 days at the most. 6 months sounds pretty darn good.

A very comprehensive program for monitoring eating and exercise. The interface could stand to have some modernizing but it works fine as is. Lack of palm sync is a drawback.

I purchased this program in 2003. Never had a problem until I had to put a new hard drive in. Now I'm getting the same registration errors as everyone else. I emailed the developer and he tells me my "Your license has been pretty clearly used by software pirates."

Whaaaaaa?

Another tool outside of iMovie and iPhoto to make use of all that digital media. It has an good start and lots of themes. I did have a few problems.

It took over my computer while using photos over a network. Not sure if it was directly access the photos or writing them locally.

I don't see a way to change the aspect ratio (4:3 vs 16:9). Also don't see a way to change the date format, looks like it defaults to european.

.2 is a big improvement of .1. Doesn't do a good job with updating all tracks from a album. In some cases I pick 10 songs all from the same album, it will only update 6 or 7, cant find the artwork for the others.

This adds the comments and code to the generated HTML after you publish with iWeb. A nice work around, too bad one can't add them to the templates.

Would be nice if it you could also have a tag for GPS data from the photos. Also, might be better to store templates in a more user accessible are like a ~/Library/CustomHTML folder.

More .mac blogging alternatives are always good however I believe that blog.mac could still use some work. Two suggestions I have to have a more document centered interface (I won't get into the metal look debate here) and template support. As far as I can tell there was no such support.

The concept is great. The photos could be at a higher resolution, because they looked pixelated when they got closer to the camera. I also wish you could export a limited number of full length movies instead of being limited to 3 sec, it was not possible to get an idea of the final result. It was a little difficult to figure out how to work.

It's a good start for sure. I like being able to get photos from iPhoto and post to .mac. The UI needs some polishing for sure. Only posted one auction with it and didn't have any problems.

Wish it had a multi service shipping calculator like when making an auction via the website.

The latest version is much improved, especially in the speed of the UI. It still has it's bugs but it is a alpha after all. I put together a tutorial on making mosaics with MacOSaiX you might be interested in.

I've used FruitMenu and have been happy with it. It's never caused any problems for me with other apps. The apple menu is already there, no need to add yet another menu bar thingy to clutter things up.

Latest version works perfectly with iPhoto 5 & uses iPhoto's keywords.

Now if it could only sync photos, so if I change the title or keywords it would update flickr.

I tried many of these programs basically waiting for this Library version to show up. I've been pretty happy with it so far but the price is a little steep. And the integration with Amazon is nice but new sources need to be added.

I bought it to support the developers efforts in the hope that the next version will bring all the requested features.

Not only does it require you purchase a account before you can do anything, it has a non standard interface and sticks itself in your start up items.

Not to mention there is plenty of free sources of RB help out there.

I liked the previous versions better becasue it came with a menu extra rather than an application that goes in the menu bar. Yeah yeah I know it needed a hack for it to work but I liked to move the menus around on my menu bar. The interface of the prefs needs cleaned up. "Save w/o Quit" is a poor implementation of a windows UI, not MacOS X.

Even with those complaints I love to have it in my Menu bar.
