Type: CommentsDate: 11 May 2008 08:26Wow what a spazout you must have had there.
Spam is anything that is forced on you that is unwanted. ESPECIALLY if it's in the wrong place.
[Spam (or Spamming)
An inappropriate attempt to use a mailing list, or USENET or other networked communications facility as if it was a broadcast medium (which it is not) by sending the same message to a large number of people who didn’t ask for it. The term probably comes from a famous Monty Python skit which featured the word spam repeated over and over. Email spam can be dealt with to some extent by using ‘Spaminator’ tools and filters.
So yes, you gave us info about a product that no one asked for, in a place it did not belong. Therefore annoying those of us that cares less about such things.
As far as the rest of your verbal masturbationathon to attempt to justify your bad behavior it was just that. Verbal masturbation.
I guess you are one of those conversational terrorists that think that the more garbage you spew, the more you are right.
Not only did you spam, you went again the MacUpdate posting guidelines which says not do do such things. I've gotten accounts removed for such shenanigans.
In other words. CUT IT OUT.

Type: CommentsDate: 10 May 2008 13:15I also dislike it when people use another author's application space to shill out someone else's application.
That's pretty darn rude and disrespectful.
Macupdate lets others view programs that are similar on the same page and compare them. There is no need for people to go and spam other programs in places such things don't belong.

Type: Hint/TipDate: 4 May 2008 10:56BTW for those of you working at a graphics or DTP house that have CS3 installed on one computer.
YOU ARE ALLOWED LEGALLY to install it on TWO computers. As long as you are only running it on ONE at a time.
Say you have a laptop AND a desktop machine. You can install CS3 on BOTH computers as long as you are only using it on one at a time.
This means if you have a work version that your company bought, and it's only installed on your work computer, you can install it on your HOME computer as well (I do work at home a lot when I am sick) as long as BOTH programs aren't running at the same time.
I looked into this, and it's perfectly legit.
Adobe doesn't like advertising this however.
Of course, get your company's permission first. As if you don't, it could be seen as theft.

Type: CommentsDate: 4 May 2008 10:53Adobe isn't a monopoly. There are MANY other graphic applications out there other than Adobe.
They just so happen to make the best ones out there, so it SEEMS like they have one because that is what everyone uses.
While it would take some MIGHTY magic to knock Adobe off it's long standing hold on the graphics world, but it could be worse. We could have to use Paint Shop Pro. :)
While yes, I wish we had more options, At least adobe makes GREAT tools.
Their new privacy/piracy thing is bull... stuff.. though. The only people it hurts, are the honest ones. The ones that are getting their programs illegally will CONTINUE to do so no matter what Adobe does.
Adobe needs to sell Photoshop at two different prices. One for Home, and the Other for Professional. Make them the SAME application. Just like if you get caught using Photoshop without LEGALLY getting a code, they bust you. They could bust anyone using a home version of Photoshop to make money.
Sure they can't get EVERYONE, and not EVERYONE will be honest. But it will generate more money for Adobe.

Type: Hint/TipDate: 4 May 2008 10:44I realize FireFox isn't a Mac only application, nor is the Mac platform it's main priority (not even close..) but you'd think they could put out a version that was Mac like. And didn't feel like a shoddy Windows port.
It almost reminds me of a Java application in that way.
Yes I know that you can get plugins to make it look different, but again that is like putting lipstick on a pig. I've tried and tried and tried to love this application. Esp at first when Safari had little or no ad blocking abilities. And every new build that comes out I d/l it and REALLY want to love it. But every time I get disappointed at just how un-mac like it is.
Until they can get this together (which of course I am sure it's not even being close to the top of the list of things to do) I will stay with Safari.
I really have no reason to switch now. Especially now that Safari has all the nifty addons as well.
So YAY for Firefox taking away IEs monopoly and user base on the Windows side, but boo for them basically just giving us Mac users a shoddy ported version. Firefox on Windows is much better than the Mac version.
Thank God Safari is better than both.

Type: CommentsDate: 4 May 2008 10:34Wow thanks.. now I wont need this program anymore.
The only other thing is the stripping of the PPC/Intel code thing. But I've come to find it can really muck up your system doing that.
For example, if you modify your Adobe applications in ANY WAY, they wont update.

Type: CommentsDate: 4 May 2008 10:31Said icon still changes from being all flags, to only the American one. Which is odd since most Mac users are American, and more than likely wouldn't be trashing that localization it really makes no sense.
Maybe a better icon design would make this application more appealing. Not only that, a good bit of people wouldn't take kind to pictures of the US flag being put in the trash.
I wonder what the author of said icon's reasons were for only putting the multiple flag icon in one size, and making the American flag only in the others.
I know Mr Betts (The icon designer) has on several occasions made several anti-American comments on forums before, but one wouldn't think he would be this petty. It's probably just an over-site.
That and it doesn't support 512 pixel icons.
I already fixed the problem with my version, and would be glad to send the author a copy of said icon so he can change it as well. I'd ask for no recognition or payment of course.

It's still rough around the edges a bit, but it plays everything I throw at it. And plays it well.

BTW I wish people that was having TROUBLE with the application would see if it's their fault before rating applications out of frustrations. Like if said person that posted below this one would have taken the time to email the author first. I am sure that one star would have been a bit higher than that.
So come on folks, be a bit more responsible when rating applications. I know I try to take them seriously.

Unless of course an equally well made pasteboard app came out with similar features that wasn't naggy.
( I stopped using shadowclipboard and started using PTH pasteboard again for similar reasons)

Type: CommentsDate: 18 Feb 2008 07:15Good advice. I do this when ever I want an app. You know why?
With every overpriced "shareware" application out there, there is one that is usually free that has the same features.

Type: CommentsDate: 18 Feb 2008 07:06BTW my comment about IE having security issues goes waay past simple security updates.
Anytime a browser is PART of the OS (Not bundled with, but actually PART OF) you are going to have security problems that are worse than a browser than was not.
![]()
Type: CommentsDate: 18 Feb 2008 07:04Um Doug, every browser has security issues that get patched all the time.
So you were right, you are not wrong about Safari having security bug fixes.
But so has every other browser that has ever been made. Even Firefox.
At least Safari looks/acts like a Mac application. Can't say the same for Firefox.
And again, all "plugins" that Firefox has that I would want, Safari has as well.

Type: CommentsDate: 18 Feb 2008 06:46This is about PTH pasteboard 4.4 (For some reason MacUpdate doesn't have it out yet. )
Everything is fine but that added nagware that blinks on and off red and black "BUY"!!
That simple addition has turned this beautiful app into a horrid animated spam image. :\
Yes I know I can get rid of said annoying button by buying it, but I didn't think the author of said program was trying to guilt or pressure those that are happy with the basic non payed version of the program into buying features they simply do not need.
It seemed to even slow down the window opening process when you have more than one pasteboard open.
Isn't not letting you have some features if you haven't registered enough? Do you really have to revert to nagware? Again, if you claim that the non-registered version will work just fine etc without registration, then there shouldn't be any nagging or flashing buttons to register.

Type: CommentsDate: 9 Feb 2008 09:29I think the coders are still thinking on a Windows sort of way. This application is more Windows like than Mac like. And that's understandable. They are trying to outdo IE 7 or whatever. Their Mac numbers are small compared to the Windows side.
Most Mac users use Safari for the most part anyhow. Unlike IE, Safari isn't a security risk.
![]()
Type: CommentsDate: 9 Feb 2008 09:26Hmm I'd do a fresh install of your current OS.
Are you running Leopard?
Safari 3.0.4 for me on Leopard has to be the best browsing experience I've had so far.
And Firefox got even more dodgy with Leopard's release.
I've always had both installed on my computer until Leopard came out. Now I just need Safari.
As far as the extensions in Firefox, I've been able to get addons for Safari that do the same things just as well. Sometimes even better because the experience is more of a Mac one.. and not a open source Frankenstein one that Firefox is.
I LOVE Firefox for Windows. I use it on my Windows box at home more than IE. It is more of a Windows like app than a Mac one. And the Firefox for Windows is much better than the Mac version.
If the coders of Firefox were serious about the Mac version, they would make it more Mac like, and less dodgy. The browser just FEELS like it's going to explode at any minute. :\
And RSS works just fine in Safari for me.

Type: CommentsDate: 8 Feb 2008 06:42BTW I'd love them to backup their claims
"Firefox is a web browser that empowers you to accomplish your online activities faster, more safely and efficiently than any other browser, period. Built with Tab browsing, popup blocking and a number of other seamless innovations, Firefox stands out ahead."
No. Not in my experience with the application. It's not even close.
It may have a ton of plugins, but the browser itself is dodgy and buggy. And crashes too much.
Not to mention the GUI reminds me nothing like a OS X application.

Type: CommentsDate: 27 Jan 2008 07:41Does this really surprise you in the day where anyone that doesn't have a religion, and is insecure, feels the need to belittling or attack people that do?
It's called acting out. It's the same reason Fred Phelps does what he does. He's probably really a closet homosexual trying to fight his urges.
These people that are attacking the religious are probably just trying to convince themselves. Else they wouldn't go so far as to offend. Just like Phelps.

Everyone has a right to their opinion about this software. If the author and it's fanboys don't want any negative comments, don't put it on MacUpdate or versiontracker. Surely don't attack or belittle those that make valid comments and complaints. It makes YOU look like a whiney baby.

If you do or say something that is wrong, and someone attempts to correct you to make your product better, belittling them only makes you look bad. Not them.
I suggest a different approach to marketing this "software"
Esp as your program doesn't really do what it says it does.

Type: CommentsDate: 24 Jan 2008 06:03Woah woah woah here fellah's.
My comments about the trend of shareware apps was just about that. The trend.
I wasn't singling out this application.
No need for the knee-jerk defensiveness,
![]()
Type: CommentsDate: 23 Jan 2008 12:38It's the new trend in shareware. It used to be MOST mundane software like this used to be free.
Higher end programs that take a long time to code were shareware. And usually pay once, and get the rest of the upgrades for free.
Back then people didn't try to make a living selling overpriced shareware on the net like they do now.
Most people who still develop and put out TRUE shareware usually have jobs that support them. And do the shareware stuff as a hobby. If they make a little bit of money off it cool.
We now have a new generation of kids, and greedy adults that think they should be able to code basic apps in their basement (a lot of them are just GUI front ends to CLI commands) and make a ton of money from it so they don't have to have real jobs.
These people will defend their high priced "shareware" with "I have to eat too"
If anyone is trying to make a living by selling inane and small project/s they are in for a surprise. Someone will make something just like you did, and then put it out cheaper, or give it away for free. These same people who overcharged will act all offended by it too.
It cracks me up. I've payed for shareware before to only have the author tell me months from then that the next version would cost money. Even though he told me before hand that the money I sent him will go to future versions as well...
So I am very hesitant in paying for shareware anymore. Unless I know the person I wont pay for it. Esp if their is a free version just like it.
No, I am not cheap. I just don't like being ripped off or taken advantage of.
![]()
Type: CommentsDate: 23 Jan 2008 12:28It's a recent trend for "shareware" developers to make even the most mundane and basic "applications" require payment to use.
Back in the day before people tried to make a living making small shareware applications by over-pricing them and using the "I have to eat too" excuse for doing so.
If you are expecting to live off of shareware fees you are in for a big disappointment.
You can however make decent money on the SIDE (having an actual job to support yourself first) by selling shareware apps (That are actually worth paying for, and are more than a shell script with a GUI front end)
So it's basically just greed and laziness that is starting this trend.
The best way to make it stop? Don't buy these "shareware" products. Esp ones that request you pay for each upgrade. *rolleyes*

Type: CommentsDate: 22 Jan 2008 06:33Yes, part of PTH's pasteboard features ARE implemented in Quicksilvers "do it all" application that does a lot of things, but nothing REALLY well.
What I am saying is, this isn't about QuickSilver. This is about PTHPasteboard. I don't know why the QS fanboys continue to SPAM and flood other program's MacUpdate space with zealous "OMG QS does this toO!!1" comments.
And I agree, QS has the basic and I mean basic, features PTH pasteboard has.
But it simply isn't as good of a pasteboard application as PTH is. Not even close. Not even comparable. Only software fanboys of QS would come in here to shill it.
Those looking for PTH's functionality will NOT be happy with QSs lack of functionality when it comes to the clipboard plugin.
So please, if you want to talk about PTHPasteboard go right ahead. But save the QS fanboying for the QS part of MacUpdate.
![]()
Type: CommentsDate: 21 Jan 2008 06:01Quicksilver is an over-kill for just a clipboard history tool.
PTH also has this better implemented. And is also free.
So as it goes for free clipboard tools, PTH is 10x better than Quicksilver. And takes up a lot less resources.
Not to mention PTH doesn't seen to have the "zealous fanboy" following that quicksilver seems to have instilled in it's users...
So sorry, I am not gonna drink the koolaid.

There are too many "developers" out there trying to make a LIVING off of one or two shareware apps by charging out the rear for them. I wont support these developers.
A lot of the time when I really like a free program, I will ask the dev where I can send contributions to.
You usually find out it's these type of applications that are the most popular, and well done. People that code because they want to, and like to. And those just trying to make a buck.
Not that I am saying there is anything wrong with making money off of software you've coded.
But I've seen GUI shells around CLI commands apps go for $20 or more on here before..
People will either.
1. Get a free version of whatever is you are offering. Someone always comes in and does this. (Codes a free version of some payed software just to undercut the guy)
2. Pirate it.
I wont go into how a lot of shareware writers are now charging for EVERY new version of their software too.

Type: CommentsDate: 3 Jan 2008 07:56I surely hope you aren't referring to the "Attention Deficit Disorder" many people have do deal with their whole life, and sometimes causes them to off themselves because they don't fit into society's pre-ordained molds they require everyone to fit into.
I know it's become hip to belittle such "problem" (I don't see it really as a problem so much as just another form of personality traits) and to cram medication down kids and adults throats that is highly addictive etc..
I may be going a bit over-board with my reaction. I've just seen It really mess with people's heads.. then have it belittled and made a huge joke by everyone else..
If that is not the case, I apologize. But if it is, I would seriously consider renaming the application.
I mean no one would think about naming an application that made your mouse vibrate "Tourettes Sim"

Type: CommentsDate: 3 Jan 2008 07:36BTW the program he mentioned "AudioXplorer" is nowhere near the same ballpark as this application.
That would be like recommending someone MS Paint over Photoshop...
I guess if you need only MS Paint type of features Photoshop would be an overkill. But if you need Photoshop features, MS Paint just wont cover it.
And in my case AudioXplorer = MS Paint and Mac The Scope = Photoshop.

Type: ReviewDate: 3 Jan 2008 07:32Worked great for me. There needs to be MORE electronic testing software like this out for the Mac! Until recently you basically had to have a PC to do any real electronics developing. OS X has changed that a bit though. Lots of .Nix tools being ported as well.

Type: ReviewDate: 3 Jan 2008 07:30Whenever I see ANOTHER program being hyped along with a person's response I often ignore them. To me it screams "I AM A SHILL FOR THE PROGRAM I AM MENTIONING" and doesn't qualify to me as a legit complaint.
I see the author thoroughly debunked said person's claim.
I also see it was posted by an "anonymous" person. Which also makes one question the post.

Sorry.

Type: CommentsDate: 29 Dec 2007 13:28Too bad we can't make the rest of OS X look like the current iTunes..(I've hacked the finder scroll bars to look like them, but that's all you can do.)
Apple REALLY needs to work on it's consistency. And Aqua is did. The look is dated.
10.5 seemed a bit "not finished"
I remember when Mac users used to BRAG about consistency of the Mac OS's GUI...
Not anymore. While it's not as bad as Vista.. it's not as good as Platinum was. Or the ORIGINAL Aqua.

Type: ReviewDate: 29 Dec 2007 11:03Than you thank you thank you..
I was going to do this myself, but didn't cause I had no time.
Mac users for the most part are spoiled, and expect better detail over such inane things. Some might belittle or poo poo someone being so picky. But it's what makes the over all user experience that much more enjoyable.
Good job.
Keep up the good work.
Ever thought of making a decent theme for Limewire?
I hate dodgy Java application graphics.

Type: Hint/TipDate: 29 Dec 2007 10:29In severe need of a update...
I loved this program for a long time. It would also be neat if it could auto-generate images like 10.5s subtle imprints..

Type: CommentsDate: 29 Dec 2007 08:02Yeah I guess shareware authors keep getting confused that they are commercialware.
This buy each version stuff that shareware authors are attempting to pull will not get them anywhere. Someone will just make a product just like it and undercut them in price.
I remember when shareware usually meant buy once, and get all updates for free. Atleast for the first 3-4 years anyhow.
So remember folks, be careful what shareware you ARE buying. Not everyone treats their shareware applications like shareware. Some people are trying to make a LIVING off of writing a single shareware application. Which is absurd.

Type: CommentsDate: 22 Dec 2007 15:30Well I would say it's the best FREE IRC client out there I have used.
I find Snak a bit more polished and usable.
But then again it's not free either.

Type: CommentsDate: 16 Dec 2007 05:52if that is the case, obviously the author has some "work" to do. And I am not referring to the application.

Type: CommentsDate: 16 Dec 2007 05:49Meh, it isn't so great that it's worth the price over PTHPasteboard. Considering you get more features for less with it.

Type: CommentsDate: 2 Dec 2007 19:04While I agree with you it should not go against or look different than Apple's main design, Apple itself isn't the greatest at keeping with it's own HIG.

Type: CommentsDate: 2 Dec 2007 19:02Why when they have you shilling it for them? :D
This has nothing to do with this application.

Type: ReviewDate: 1 Dec 2007 17:37While "Beautiful Looking" It doesn't really offer a GUI that I like. I don't want to see all the connections I am connected to all the time. It also lacks many features most basic IRC clients have.
You should be able to pic or choose what windows you want to be able to see, and what ones you do not.
Wonderful attempt at an IRC client that works differently than others, but the GUI is poorly implemented IMHO.

Type: CommentsDate: 30 Nov 2007 05:01I can wait for the free option. And there will be one. This person it trying to make money off it till a free one shows up.
Once a free one does, his app will be irrelevant.

Shareware writers acting like commercial software companies..

Type: ReviewDate: 17 Nov 2007 06:03Yup, and I even REINSTALLED from the CD like Adobe said to if this happened. NOTHING. NONE of the installers will see the files.
I've ALWAYS had problems updating my Adobe apps. They get away with it because they have a monoply now.
Adobe MAKE YOUR UPDATES WORK. You should NOT have to reinstall your software just to upgrade it. And if you do, IT SHOULD WORK.
So I guess I am going to have to live with 10.0.0 until Adobe gets it's head out of it's ass.

Type: CommentsDate: 30 Sep 2007 12:13I see that it's posted on here, so I run the "Check for updates..." in the application (I prefer doing it that way. less steps) and it tells me that 1.1.2 is up to date..
Did this to me last time too.
