HOTFREAKS  Unless you are fluent in German, this widget will not be useful. Have a look at the Weather Underground widget instead.  
(Version 3.0.8)

HOTFREAKS  Too many designers ruined the soup on this one. Flock is now in the same class as Opera; a good idea gone awry. There are buttons all over the place on this browser, for god knows what.

Also, anyone who thinks Flock is faster than Safari is drunk. At this stage of the game, webkit is simply faster than mozilla, end of story. If you are perceiving it otherwise, it is either alcohol or wishful thinking (or both) that is to blame.  
(Version 2.0b3)

HOTFREAKS  So much money, so little functionality.  
(Version 1.0)

HOTFREAKS  One warning to potential Google Desktop users: This is a very poorly-supported project. Do not expect to get responses from Google via email or via posting to the Google Desktop group in Google groups. You are essentially on your own if you hit any snags.  
(Version 1.5.0.1243)

HOTFREAKS  Minor quibble with the latest version: the b&w icon should be reinstated. Color looks out of place on the Safari toolbar.  
(Version 1.8.0.4278)

HOTFREAKS  The main issue I have with LaTeXiT is that often the very top, bottom or side of an equation will be cut off. I have tried modifying the font size, but this does not fix the problem reliably. Is there a solution to this?   
(Version 1.15)

HOTFREAKS  Its amazing that after all these year, Opera *still* has not figured out the Mac UI. Back to the drawing board, guys.  
(Version 9.52)

HOTFREAKS  "Kenny's so poor, he has to use Aquamacs instead of TextMate. I hate you, Kenny."  
(Version 1.5rc2)

HOTFREAKS  Why on earth would you shell out for this when a far more robust statistical package, R, is available for free. Another bafflingly overpriced Mac app. (and there are many)  
(Version 4.9)

FONNESBECK  I dont know what some of these reviews are going on about. This program looks and behaves like it was made 10 years ago. Indeed, the developers could not even be bothered to port the app to the Intel platform. If they were giving this away, that would be one thing, but to charge for such a passé application is laughable.

Why can't someone (anyone) make a decent equation editor??  
(Version 5.73)

FONNESBECK  This app is totally unstable. No less than 5 crashes in about 10 minutes of use. Save your $30.  
(Version 1.0)

FONNESBECK  I've pretty much given up OW for dead. There are "Sneaky Peek" versions of 5.7 available, but they dont seem to have progressed much past 5.6. Many very sloppy bugs remain unfixed, particularly on the RSS handling front. Once far and away the leader in innovation for Mac browsers, OW now lags far behind. Even the UI, for which OmniGroup apps are famous, is disjointed and incoherent, not quite in Leopard and not quite in Tiger.

I recommend Camino or WebKit nightlies for power browsing.  
(Version 5.6)

FONNESBECK  You've got to be kidding.

Explain to me why you would use this instead of TextMate, a far more sophisticated and cheaper source code editor.  
(Version 13.06)

FONNESBECK  That is probably the poorest product page I have ever seen. No information about the products, no screen shots, nothing. Just the name of the software, and BUY ME. Seems pretty fishy to me.  
(Version 2.3)

FONNESBECK  Thanks for such responsiveness to user feedback. This seems like a much more usable product now -- the cheque is in the mail.

One additional feature that would be great is to either add an "add bookmark" button, or be able to override the safari bookmark button.  
(Version 1.3)

FONNESBECK  While I'd love to have search access to my Gmail while offline, the damn Google Updater and its associated daemon prevent me from installing this software. Imagine if every piece of software you installed ran a monitoring program in the background at all times. Until Google falls in line and distributes Mac software properly, I have removed this and Google Notifier. Mac developers should know better.  
(Version 1.4.0.838)

FONNESBECK  I like the integration with Safari, but for me the lack of tag autocompletion is a deal-breaker (particularly for software that costs money). At this point, Pukka is a better deal, but I will look out for the next version of this.  
(Version 1.2)

FONNESBECK  Flock has lost its way. This browser is a mess.  
(Version 1.0rc3)

FONNESBECK  Why would you use KDE icons for a MAc app??  
(Version r300)

FONNESBECK  For some reason, the widget updates on my Intel machine, but not on my Powerbook.  
(Version 1.0.2)

FONNESBECK  TUISHIMI: The point is, Spotlight is universally recognized as being slow and useless, so users are forced to use other tools like Google Desktop, LaunchBar and Quicksilver.  
(Version 1.1.0.520)

FONNESBECK  Why on earth would anyone use this? This isnt a rhetorical question -- I'd like to know what folks' motivations are for picking Netscape in 2007. It seems pretty pointless to me.  
(Version 9.0b3)

FONNESBECK  Yet another Mac browser. Why doesnt someone have a go at making a decent mail client. There is a niche to be filled there, as all the current offerings are terrible.  
(Version 1.3)

FONNESBECK  APPLEDOGX: The best way to block ads in Safari (and most browsers, for that matter) is to use a userContent.css file.  
(Version 3.0.3b)

FONNESBECK  Clunky new interface and very slow with a large number of feeds. I'll stick with NewsFire.  
(Version 3.0.1b18)

FONNESBECK  I'm not sure how the developers can call this a release. This is beta, if not alpha software. Its not even clear how to rename a bookmark folder. How about adding an RSS feed to the feed HUD. I tried for 10 minutes, and could not successfully add one. Tooltips dont seem to be working.

This is a promising browser, but you need to put a little more work into software before you release it.  
(Version 2.2)

FONNESBECK  Even with the update, there are *very* few scripts that actually work properly, if at all. I just tried about 8 scripts, and only one worked as advertised. I think GM_registerMenuCommand is probably important in many.  
(Version 1.0)

FONNESBECK  Its a little too feature-free for $20. I like to be able to sort my subscriptions, say by number of unread articles, or by name. Maybe wait for version 2.  
(Version 1.0)

FONNESBECK  No sFTP is a deal-breaker. I cant believe folks still use FTP.  
(Version 4.1.12)

FONNESBECK  Anyone try today's update? I got rid of it due to its unreasonable resource utilization, but miss having my gmail available offline. If its better, I will give it another shot.  
(Version 1.0.3.301)

FONNESBECK  Ten bucks for 3 contextual menus? You've got to be kidding.  
(Version 1.6.2)

FONNESBECK  This company isnt even trying anymore. They can't even be bothered to update their pre-panther user interface, let alone add any modern mail client functionality. I wouldnt use this software if it were free, let alone pay for it.  
(Version 5.5)

FONNESBECK  Anythng has to be better than the current Eudora client, but if the software that is being proposed is another XUL monstrosity like Thunderbird, you can forget it. Having a Mozilla back-end is fine, as long as more thought goes into OS integration.  
(Version 6.2.4)

FONNESBECK  Nice try. However, no integration AT ALL with OS X is a killer. No address book access, no iCal, nothing. My advice is to either kill the windows version and develop mac software, or vice versa. Mac users will not adopt softwre that was clearly developed for another platform.  
(Version 2006.2.6)

FONNESBECK  Missing one importat feature: the ability to track dual CPUs. Its not quite as useful on a dual core with only one CPU meter!  
(Version 2.0)

FONNESBECK  Someone kill brushed metal. Please.  
(Version 1.3.1)

FONNESBECK  This must be some sort of sad joke. Please cease development on this terrible, terrible mail client.  
(Version 6.2.4b6)

FONNESBECK  Buggy, buggy, buggy.  
(Version 1.0.30)

FONNESBECK  This is a shoddy piece of software; I recommend looking elsewhere for personal data storage software. There are all sorts of annoying bugs, including autofill not working, and most importantly, it seems to randomly forget fields in some entries. I have now lost some of my website login information, thanks to Wallet.  
(Version 2.0.2)
