KLAGRECA  Chrome is quickly becoming my browser of choice. Its faster, prettier than Safari, Firefox. Some of the latest extensions (such as Google Voice) have a integration method that is far superior to Firefox's.

When 1password has a robust extension available, I think the switch to Chrome will be permanent.   
(Version 5.0.356.2)

KLAGRECA  okay, so warning to all: something is evil about v3.0.1. Hold off installing until the dev gets a chance to fix it. In the meantime, send him a couple of bucks as thanks for continuing to support and develop chax. It still is a great add-on to iChat.  
(Version 3.0.1)

KLAGRECA  Right on. I owned QB2009 and it *didn't* work for me. I wound up moving to iBiz and I couldn't be happier.  
(Version 11.0.6 R7)

KLAGRECA  Fusion is telling me I have 3.0.1 build 215242 installed, and that version 3.0.1. build 215242 is available. Even if I download and install the update, the software update box still pops up.

Anyone else getting this?  
(Version 3.0.1)

KLAGRECA  I had a feeling that once Skype changed ownership, we were going to see some feverish development and improvement. Kudos to the dev crew, looks like your back on track to make Skype the premiere VOIP/IM app.  
(Version 2.8.0.851)

KLAGRECA  Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Espresso doesn't over a terminal client, like Coda does. That's another important tool that designers need too.  
(Version 1.1.1)

KLAGRECA  I think the benefit of BTT is that you can change functionality of mouse features per app. So for example, you can feasibly turn off the zooming feature in Firefox by changing the button assignments in BTT. When I tested MagicPrefs, you could only assign mouse features on a global level.  
(Version 0.501)

KLAGRECA  I tire of Fireworks CS4 lack of innovation, quirks, and bugs present with Snow Leopard. Has anyone found a better alternative yet?  
(Version 10.0.3)

KLAGRECA  I like where this app is going -- layout and design is great! Some functionality holes, but regular development/updates should take care of that. Nice work. My favorite Magic Mouse companion so far.  
(Version 1.33)

KLAGRECA  I'd like to see this app stay up to date, incorporating new features in CSS3, however, my fear is that this great app will die due to increased focus on their Espresso app.

While "all-in-one" apps are great, there are still many of us that prefer to use separate apps. Please don't neglect this wonderful app.  
(Version 2.6)

KLAGRECA  Completely agree. I don't see enough features to warrant the upgrade price from 1.6 to 2.0 I'm thinking $14.95 to upgrade is reasonable for the new features.  
(Version 2.0)

KLAGRECA  Chrono's new support system is pitiful. First, we cannot purchase an upgrade because the checkout the system doesn't recognize our license key.

But then, we have to sign up and use their forum-style help system to resolve the issue? Ridiculous. A quick email should be able to solve the problem, yet Chronos has "discontinued" email support. Nice work.

Guess what I'm not doing now? Purchasing your upgrade.  
(Version 4.1)

KLAGRECA  WARNING

Very very very very unstable in Firefox 3.5.5. Crashes frequently.

(did I mention very?)  
(Version 10.1.51.45)

KLAGRECA  New version effectively leaps past OpenOffice with new features and performance enhancements. Nice work!   
(Version 3.0.1)

KLAGRECA  fantastic update! New features easily puts Yummy in the lead of the FTP bunch.  
(Version 1.8)

KLAGRECA  any words on upcoming Snow Leopard compatibility?  
(Version 1.9)

KLAGRECA  Love OO, but...no PDF export? I know there's the print to PDF option, but shouldn't there be a PDF export option, similar to the functionality of Apple Pages, Open Office?  
(Version 3.9.3b1)

KLAGRECA  FYI, ibiz is the equivalent to qickbooks, ibank is the counterpart for personal.   
(Version R8)

KLAGRECA  I've paid to support omnigrowl, which I love. Then, I check the "I've supported" checkbox, yet Omnigrowl still pops up growl messages asking me to support. What gives?  
(Version 3.7)

KLAGRECA  Well, I don't think the 64bit version will be more secure or faster, but there is one important reason why skype should be 64bit: the address book plugin/integration. There's workarounds, but I prefer not to workaround something.

Anyone want to guess how long it will take Skype to go 64bit, especially since little has changed with Skype in the past year or so? I'll bet on 16 months before we see a 64 bit version, if we're lucky.  
(Version 2.8.0.722)

KLAGRECA  Good job Reggie. 3.0 looks great. You may want to consider simplifying the registration process within the software. Downloading a registered app vs simply using a registration number.  
(Version 3.0)

KLAGRECA  Updates to 2.0 look good but what's the consensus, do you all think its worth the upgrade price?  
(Version 2.0)

KLAGRECA  Here's a perfect example of why Quickbooks falls hard.

I'm trying to enter cash back on a deposit. Sounds simple, right? Well, Quickbooks tells me that "The cash back account is invalid." And then tells me to choose another account.

Well quess what Quickbooks? The account is fine by my accounting standards, so if you have some secret validation method....shouldn't you let me know??? Like "account X is invalid so try Y."

Thanks Quickbooks. You're more damaged than Manny Ramirez's baseball career.  
(Version 10.0.3 R6)

KLAGRECA  Interesting. I have the "Google Updater" installed and it's not informing me of this new version of GEarth. If it can't do it's job, what good is it???  
(Version 5.0.11733.9347)

KLAGRECA  I cannot get PROFTPD to work for the life of me. And no documentation doesn't help.  
(Version 1.0.1)

KLAGRECA  MAMP Pro should include an FTP server and SSL support if wants to differentiate itself more from the "basic" version. I'd be glad to pay more for the PRO version if these services were included.  
(Version 1.7.2)

KLAGRECA  Today, Fireworks CS4 crashed while simply trying to print an image.

How sad.  
(Version 10.0.0.495)

KLAGRECA  I have that same fear too, which is a shame because I prefer to use my separate editors for their respective tasks. No one single app does what the separate apps do individually well.

Any word from the MacRabbit people on their outlook for this app?  
(Version 2.6)

KLAGRECA  EagleFiler is an example of why the MacOS platform is the greatest system. This application is amazing.

EagleFiler has helped me organize my stuff by effectively extending the OS -- not replacing it. I can still find my PDFs and other documents through spotlight, or I can navigate my stuff through EagleFiler. That's a big plus.

The features of Eaglefiler are designed to maximize efficency while not complicating my life. Web page? No problem. PDF? Indexes it. Need to add tags? Yup. EagleFiler takes care of everything I need to ever file.

Finally, the software is regularly updated with new features, improvements and fixes.

Hearty thanks go out to Mike. You've helped me simplify my life!   
(Version 1.4.5)

KLAGRECA  They're probably spamming the "new release" list on Macupdate in order to increase visability. Shameless. I would stay away from these guys just because of that.

(Version 3.6.4)

KLAGRECA  The scrolling wheel behavior becomes erratic when I use Logitech's driver. Seems like if I change the acceleration or speed from the default settings (which are way too slow), the scrolling jumps up and down at any touch of the wheel. Anyone else know what's going on?

For a $80 mouse (MX1100) this is totally unacceptable. Thumbs down to Logitech's software division.  
(Version 2.6)

KLAGRECA  I tried a few other audio taggers and I bought this one. Why? What sold me was its simplified, straighforward interface. I simply want to correct tags from a online database and MPFreaker was able to get the job done quickly.

Developer is quick to respond to questions and problems.

Latest version works solid. There was a bug in a previous version that I found and the developer was quick to fix.

I highly recommend MPFreaker. Enjoy.  
(Version 1.8b11)

KLAGRECA  To me it looks like XAMPP has more recently updated versions of server apps versus MAMP. And, XAMPP has more options. For example, support for SSL built it.

Both get the job done though.

(Version 0.7.3)

KLAGRECA  It's slightly more expensive than other video capture software I looked at, but I was sold on their UI. And after purchase and getting to use Screenflick, I was happy I spent the extra denario. Works great, looks great, and produces professional vids.

I had one question which I emailed and got back a full and helpful response.

I highly recc. Screenflick.  
(Version 1.6.1)

KLAGRECA  I don't think I could even justify this kind of behavior for the non-pro version as well. My opinion, if you pay for a piece of software, no matter how little, there should be no compulsory advertising.

This too is a deciding factor in purchasing this product, so we all welcome a comment from the developer concerning this issue.   
(Version 1.0.2)

KLAGRECA  Some of these reviews, I think, are alittle off base. Here is what I think is an objective review:

Layout -- easy, coherent and simple.

Tracking clients - integrates with Address Book. easy as pie.

Tracking projects --- good. navigation of adding events could be made easier.

Invoicing -- a couple of clicks and you've emailed an invoice to click. Nice.

Customizing templates -- err.. not much fun. Be sure to read their guide first.

Recording payments -- needs work here. There's a few ways to do it and its not clear how outstanding balances are managed.

Stability - no problems here.

Overall - its simple and mostly intuitive. Fully usable for a small business. Has some rough edges but workable with extra time.

To the previous grumpy folks: Give IGG a break. They're a small shop yet they are quick to respond to forum posts and emails. iBiz might have suffered lately since they've been pouring their time into iBank 3.

iBiz will be 5-star product after some reworking of the template and payment pieces. If you're a small biz and bill hourly for projects, this is a great solution and I don't hesitate to recc it.  
(Version 3.1.10)

KLAGRECA  Wouldn't be great if Steermouse could store your preferences in .Mac? Then, it would serve as a "backup" when/if you wipe out your machine, or if just wanted to use your preferences on another computer (that also has Steermouse).

..just an idea.. anyone agree?

K  
(Version 3.8)

KLAGRECA  The reconciling of statements feature really needs to be tweaked. It especially needs to offer feedback - cleared deposits and cleared payments - so that the user can easily compare it to paper statements. The current implementation is too obscure.

K  
(Version 2.3.11)

KLAGRECA  So before I buy this software, can anyone confirm if v2.5.1 is friendly with 4th, 5th gen ipods and itunes 7.4+? Are the past issues that people are mentioning, fixed?

Thanks.

K  
(Version 2.5.1)

KLAGRECA  For a compression utility, I tried them all. This one, by far, is the best.

Springy has all of the utilities/features I need for dealing with compressed while while at the same time being so integrated with the OS that you don't feel like you're using a seperate program.

Worth every penny.

  
(Version 1.3.2)

KLAGRECA  stability problems here as well. Too bad, UI-wise it looks really good. I suspect we'll have to wait another few revisions before its worth another look.

Best wishes on further development.  
(Version 1.0)

KLAGRECA  Nice work! Excellent way to share music with friends.  
(Version 3.0.3)

KLAGRECA  doesn't seem to drain my Macbook Pro battery. I have 10.4.10 installed.  
(Version 1.0)

KLAGRECA  Great program, definitely a value at$24.95.  
(Version 1.5.2)

KLAGRECA  I freakn' LOVE this app! It cracks me up!

Please, please, please continue to develop this app! I really want to bond further with my pet lobster.   
(Version 1.0.2.8)

KLAGRECA  The newest revision and the current design are a great improvement. I now consider MultiAlarm an essential app for any Macbook owner. Kudos!  
(Version 3.4.2)

KLAGRECA  Doesn't work a lick for me either. That doesn't reflect well on quality...

K  
(Version 1.0b2)

KLAGRECA  The default list of categories needs major attention. There's outright duplicates as well as items too similar to warrant separate entries. Descriptions are missing in some places and renaming poorly worded entries need renaming. Overall, if the developers are going to place importance on the category schema (as stated in the help file), then the categories need some fine tuning.  
(Version 2.1.8)

KLAGRECA  So I downloaded Reader so that I can markup and highlight portions of documents, EXCEPT, it seems that every PDF I have is protected against commenting. Even the PDF's that I created through OS X's print to PDF feature are protected against commenting.

Can anyone verify this? Or reccommend a way to remove security from unecrypted and non-password protected PDFs? Thanks!   
(Version 8.0)

KLAGRECA  myNotes is looking good. Ease of use is king for note taking and this app has that. The three pane view is perfect for organization.

With that said, I think this app could use some "love."

1. more robust bullet list control.

2. options for a font/formating/bullet controls via toolbar or box

3. UI tweaks (double click the notes field to start a new note)

4. maybe some kind of docking ability?

5. .Mac sync

I've tried a few note organization tools and I can definitely say this one should be on your consideration list.  
(Version 1.3.1)

KLAGRECA  Am I the only one, or do "real" groups for organizing references a better idea than "virtual" groups?

(I'm talking about where all of the references reside in "All Publications" and groups contain only pointers to the reference.)

Otherwise, great program. When considering price, Bibdesk is better than Endnote by a long shot.   
(Version 1.2.9)

KLAGRECA  This software is truly a time saver, useful, and essential for protecting your identity. The new design is clear and easy to use.

If there are any "cons," one might point out some UI quirkness. However, none of that is show-stopping.

The developers are very responsive to feedback and passionate about making their software top-notch. A definite "+" here.

I had only one question about its usability that I didn't know what to do (disable Firefox auto password complete). My only reference to the help proved successful in answering my question. 1Passwd's help feature is excellent and well written.

While I hate to suggest it, the concept behind 1Passwd is so critical that it should probably be built into Mac OS.   
(Version 1.5.3280)

KLAGRECA  Folks, check out unarchiver. I think you'll find it better in every aspect over Stuffit.  
(Version 10.1 beta)

KLAGRECA  This is how a unarchiver should work -- seemless, simple, and unobstrusive. This piece of software is a 5 star without hestitation. Say goodbye to Stuffit, a bloated piece of software.  
(Version 1.1)

KLAGRECA  Great idea! Implemented perfectly!

The author releases an update to support iTunes 7 the day after 7 comes out. Now that's impressive.   
(Version 1.0.6)

KLAGRECA  Can anyone confirm if Logitech added support for additional mice other than the ones stated above? (ideally, the MX518)?

  
(Version 2.1)

KLAGRECA  Neooffice is a great concept and it's moving along fantastically, however, I believe the next 1-2 revisions of the whole open office project will "make or break" it.

My experience with NeoOffice:

--As far as usability, Calc did some weird things (like paste a change I made in one cell to the same cell in other sheets). The problem is, many of the features are poorly documented or labeled.

--Another quick impression is that he presentation app is slow. It takes forever to open a 100meg presentation I've been working with.

--Compatibility and maintaining formatting is execellent.

--an additional "create a PDF" function. So..umm...why? Isn't this functionality built into OS X?

In summary, the chaps who work on NO should rethink about the presentation layer ot the app. Should it mimic MS Office, or should the presentation layer evolve into something more intuitive? Should they pack every feature into NO, or sould they make core functionality rock-solid, fast, and efficient?

I believe its the answers to these questions that will make or break the OO project.

Good luck folks, you got a wonderful thing going!   
(Version 2.0a4)

KLAGRECA  For a PIM/information manager app, Yojimbo is definetly your best bet. It's also there, also perfect. Here's what I think Yojimbo needs to be considered for a perfect 5 (and my registration $).

1. A more Itunes like interface. (the items go directly into genre-like folders/collection, not just collections which are smartfolders).

2. Fix .Mac syncing. (where do the files go? they're not in the documents folder like other programs that sync to .Mac).

3. A global password. Enter once to view your collection (but with the ability to set an idle-lockout time limit).

4. more template types.

and of course,

5. spotlight support.  
(Version 1.2)

KLAGRECA  Strange implementation (menu layouts, use of passwords). Seems to experience "false alarms."

Good work though. Keep up the effort.   
(Version 3.3.1)

KLAGRECA  I checked out the demo and it looks great. When I see an update (specifically, a Universal port), I'm buying it. When's this sucker going to get updated?  
(Version 1.1.7)

KLAGRECA  Great program for syncing or copying data from point "A" to point "B." I find the performance great and pretty simple to use. Rules and options for individual jobs should cover the needs for most users.

The only drawbacks I see are the synchronization options are slightly confusing (Mirror vs backup vs blind backup) and the scheduling window (not intuitive).

I reccommend buying this product - the free choices in this category (file sync software) are not up to speed.  
(Version 3.3.1)
