IMINI  I like when developers drop old OS support so that they can use new technologies in new OS. 10.4 is more than 4 years old, there is no reason to still use it. Backward compatibility is the reason Windows Vista is so slow and bloated.

IMINI  Warning - version 5 forces you to install some kind of "Google Software Update". You MUST accept it, otherwise GE will not start. It is supposed to be "safer than downloading files from the internet yourself". Yeah, right :) Back to version 4.

IMINI  For me it crashes every single time on closing (on 10.5.6).

Speed Download
Apr 26 2009

IMINI  I use SpeedDownoad and like it - best download manager on OS X.

I am missing one important feature I had on Getright (Windows app) many years ago - mirrors support. If I add the same file form different url, it just starts a second download, instead of adding a mirror and possibly new segment to existing download. I would also like more control over segments - to see them visually, be able to control the number of segments and have segments form different mirrors.

VirtualBox
Apr 19 2009
***..

IMINI  Very interesting, fast, ahead of the competition in some areas (compiz in Linux kind of works). Behind in some others (lack od DriectX).

But also very unstable and unreliable - hangs, kernel panics, VM sudden exits, no pointer in compiz, graphics refresh problems, etc.

So far staying with VMWare witch is is visibly slower, but rock solid. But I will try new VirtualBox versions and observe the progress.  
(Version 2.2)

IMINI  Second review of the same app. But somehow all reviews have disappeared for some time (at least they where not there on 13th of Feb).

Anyway, Skim is worth 2 x 5 stars :)

IMINI  By accepting this you basically say you are OK with EVERY program installing background processes, doing something even when their parent programs are closed.

I DO NOT accept that approach. I DO NOT want programs to continue running when I close them. I do not trust all developers so much to continuously run their background processes. This of course includes Google.

Apple is different - I trust Apple, because by definition I have to - I have their OS, always running "in the background".

And besides that, what is the legitimate reason for Google to do that? Do I really need stupid Google Earth updated every 2 hours? Maybe it would be enough to check on startup (also with user acceptance)? This is a program for amusement, who cares if it is updated in the last 2 hours?

IMINI  I don't like the changes in 2.49a... It now requires install and goes into OS X too deeply.

IMINI  It's a very good application, but I DO NOT like the new installer. Dragging the app to Applications folder is the right way. This is a change in the wrong direction.

IMINI  Interesting application, but my concern is, that it needs connection to services.jungledisk.com for some unknown reason. It should connect only to Amazon.
