L008COM  Why the hell is this even listed on this site? wtf!  
(Version )

L008COM  Great idea for a plugin. Doesn't work though. It doesn't search by the street address. It searches ONLY by the city name. Not even city and state. So it returns close to 100 results per search, for results from states all over the country. Good idea for a plugin but its totally useless as it stands right now.  
(Version 0.11)

L008COM  The new feature-set is great. Handbrake's ability to only work on DVD-like, non HD sources was really making it more and more obsolete. They've fixed that in a very big way. This new version has great features that work great when they work.

BUT

The app is very crashy. Certain .mkv files seem to make handbrake cash for no apparently reason. I hope they fix this bug soon.   
(Version 0.9.3)

L008COM  Not very intuitive, not very easy to use. Kind of a big mess.  
(Version 2.7)

L008COM  Max has many issues but this app is no replacement for it. Rips only to MP3. Isn't free. Its a java based app with a horrible, non-mac like interface. Ugh.  
(Version 1.1.2)

L008COM  Doesn't do ANY HD encoding. When I read "Optimize for AppleTV" I expected 720p @23fps, which is the max AppleTV can handle. But alas, I'm still stuck ripping video with quicktime player.  
(Version 0.96E8)

L008COM  A stop watch app doesn't have to do much. Just count the seconds tick by.

This app doesn't track time correctly. Compare it to your system clock and let it run, the times very quickly get out of sync. Very lame.  
(Version 1.3)

L008COM  This program lets you choose which volume to test, then it tests it by writing a blank file to it, and timing it. A simple utility that WOULD be all I'm looking for. Luckily I was paying attention. This utility only tests the current boot drive. No matter which drive you tell it to test, it tests the boot drive. In other words, it doesn't work.   
(Version 0.1)

L008COM  The author's email address has been sending out "Conversation isn't dead" auto-responses for 2 years running. I've given up hope. I know several OS X programmers that offered to port the code to at least make the program Universal, for free, and even without seeking credit (though crediting them would certainly be the right thing to do). But email after email goes unanswered. :-(  
(Version 2.14)

L008COM  Very buggy. Just this version. The older versions have never had crashing issues since I've been using it. But 0.9 is brutal. Ditching it now and trying to find someplace I can download an older version.  
(Version 0.9)

L008COM  Awesome little free app. Does what it says its going to do. Does it simply, no extra fluff, no problems. Set alarms. Alarms work. What more could you ask for? Well you could ask for an alarm feature built into itunes, but this is the next best thing!  
(Version 1.1)

L008COM  This app is very confusing. The controls are not at all intuitive. I keep setting an alarm for noon, and it tells me the next alarm is set for the next day at midnight. Or it tells me the next alarm is December 31st. ??? This app needs some work before its usable.  
(Version 2.2.3)

(Version 2.2.3)

L008COM  Seems like it would be a fun app. But I have iTunes 7.1.1 and it can't seem to read my itunes library. Plus its a PPC app and all my macs are intel now. Also that previous reviewer keeps calling this app a widget. Why? Its an app, not a widget. Did you write a review for an app you didn't even use?  
(Version 2.2.2)

L008COM  Download 'link' links to a fake search engine spam page. Please take this out of the MacUpdate database.  
(Version 1.2.1)

L008COM  Waste of time. Serial number given doesn't work. They are still hosting the software, why don't they just put out a new version that doesn't require a serial? Makes no sense. Plus the program is messed up anyway. It likes to beach ball for minutes at a time. And another neat feature is that it likes to cause hundreds of system beeps while it's running. It also went from an acceptable speed to a server-killing speed once it revived from its beach ball episode. Not worth the hassle, do not use this program.  
(Version 1.3)

L008COM  Version 3.0 broke support for VNC. This sucks for me as both my servers run VNC server instead of Apple Remote Desktop server because ARD is a bit less stable. But Since upgrading on my intel macs, I can't connect to my servers at all. The notes on version 3.1 say that VNC support is fixed, or at least imply that it is. But trying to connect to a VNC machine fails every single time in ARD 3.1. I don't know what they are waiting for here. Apple is usually so good about things but every once in a while they really leave you hanging and this is one of those times.  
(Version 3.1)

L008COM  I've never been able to coax this widget to work  
(Version 1.4)

L008COM  This program is a classic example of a really bad implementation of a really good idea. It is a very nice looking program, with only some minor changes I'd make to its UI. Its feature set is nice and is growing with new releases. The main problem is that this program has astronomical RAM requirements. I have a Quad 2.66GHz intel Mac Pro with 1GB of RAM. Even with nothing else running, launching Spyder throws my hard drive into constant HD paging. The computer goes almost completely unresponsive. Loading friends of my friends takes over a week. I understand that it is scraping web pages and so there is a limit to it's speed, but that is not the bottleneck here. This app is trying to use 2-3 GB of RAM all by itself. This is the type of program that should be able to run in the background almost unnoticed while you do other things, and while it loads data etc. But instead it brings your system to a hault and keeps it at bay until you give up and force quit it, or until it crashes, or until you've waited over a week and it is done. When I first started using it, and saw that it uses an internal SQL database, I thought that would make it highly optimized, more so than any other program that deals with storing thousands of records of data. The developer does release updates often, but they are always to small bug fixes. I'm a paid user of this software, and I'm beginning to think I may have wasted my money. I really want this program to work... it just doesn't.  
(Version 1.3.4)

L008COM  Great little app. I use it in conjunction with photoshop all the time. Its real easy to use them both to make favicon's for web sites, and of course you can load icons into photoshop with their full transparency.

BUT IT NOT A UNIVERSAL BINARY. In fact it hasn't been updated in quite some time. It is due.  
(Version 2.5)

L008COM  I figured I'd give this app a try today since I was going to be away from computers during an auction I really wanted to win. So I set it up and let it run while I was away. I set my max bid to $155.89. I got home and the auction was over with a high bid of $151. Thanks for nothing Maxi Bidder. This was a very unique auction and I'm very upset. Don't use this program, it simply doesn't work.  
(Version 1.99r5)

L008COM  As a game its a little too basic, and gets boring quick. But, this would make a real kick ass screen saver. Mac goes to sleep, and the trains start thundering along!!!  
(Version 1.4.0)

L008COM  Extremely Unintuitive. Very hard to use. And ugly java interface. I don't know who really owns the SpamX name but I'll tell you, both apps suck ass.  
(Version 2.0)

L008COM  This app doesn't seem to work with iChat 3 (with Tiger). Sure iChat 3 has its own profile support, but you can't use HTML, so its pretty much useless. I thought this program would save me, but nope. Unfortunately Tiger makes the official AIM client run like ass.  
(Version 1.2)

L008COM  Cool App in 10.3. I like the 3D view alot, although its got some perspective issues. But, doesn't matter now, as this app doesn't work under 10.4, which means I'm stuck using Tomato Torrent. :-(  
(Version 1.0pr1.2)

L008COM  Doesn't work anymore on dual screen setups, the game goes to the secondary display and you can't click on anything.   
(Version 1.5)

L008COM  Horrible game. Totally sucks, nearly impossible to play. It least you can play the 2D version this one is horrible.  
(Version 3.0)

L008COM  Right off the bat, a keyboard the requires drivers is not a good thing. My mom really wanted this keyboard because I kicked her off my iBook and she got used to the thin low travel keys. This was the best keyboard i could find that had those kind of keys. It mimics every key on the apple pro keyboard, even the volume and eject keys. So you'd think it would work flawlessly out of the box, but it doesn't. It says you need the driver to use the volume and eject keys. You shouldn't have to install a driver for something like that, so already you can tell they aren't doing things the right way. Now I installed the driver, cause I wanted her to have those super useful keys. Well it makes you reboot, and when you reboot, the keyboard goes totally dead. No keys work at all. I can't even log in. I had to uninstall the driver over remote desktop to get the keyboard to work again. Now it works, but no Volume or Eject keys. Kinda sucks. It should simply mimic the apple keyboard signals for those keys and then be interpreted by the system the same way. But it doesn't. Unfortunately, this review isn't really going to help anyone, since anyone who finds it is going to already have the keyboard. These drives are from 2002 so they are way outdated, but they are the ones that come on the CD so you shouldn't have to re download them. Also I am using 10.3.7.  
(Version 1.0b3)

L008COM  This is a joke right? You have to hack into the app to upgrade it. It doesn't even have an installer? And it doesn't even show the new version number. And they don't bother to fix the fact that it takes forever to draw your artwork, even on my Dual G5. And the instructions don't even make sense, why would the finder ever ask you to replace the items your moving, when you are moving them into a folder you just created. I wish adobe would spend one revision not even adding new features, but instead making all of their products run like a proper mac program should.   
(Version 11.0.2)

L008COM  This app is very broken. Its text input fields don't work so you can't enter your info. Its not a very intuitive layout. And if you resize the main window, its contents get totally shuffled and mangled and its completely unusable.  
(Version 1.22)

JOHN MASONE  Its an applescript. Not an AppleSCript Studio app, no, a regular old applescript with a "dialog after dialog" based GUI. Pass on this one.  
(Version 6.5)

L008COM  Its a nice try but they definitely missed the mark on this game.

- Only fords. No single manufacturer makes enough cars to have a game all to themselves, let alone ford.

- Steering is really bad. It's a very on/off type of steering control.

- Doesn't support controllers. I have in iShockII, and I had to use macally's keyboard mapping program because the game wouldn't use the controller directly. And macally's software is the worst app i've ever used, its a java piece of shit app, thats embarrassingly bad.

- Game has excessive load times and really poor menu design.

- Graphics are ok on my dual 1.8 G5, but on my 1.25 GHz iBook I really had to slim everything down just to get it to go, and even them it was really jump. I can't imagine this would work at all on a 700 Mhz G3

I don't recommend this game if your looking for a real good racing game. Get a PS2 and Gran Turismo. It doesn't get better than that.  
(Version 1.0.1)

L008COM  VLC 0.7.2 seems to Kill all audio on G5's. requiring a Reboot. :-(  
(Version 0.7.2)

L008COM  Am I the only one that thinks this is the worst idea i've heard all day?  
(Version 1.0)

L008COM  Told it where Mencoder was, tried to join two files, I click, it rips through the progress bar in about 3 seconds, but doesn't appear to actually DO anything at all. And the app has a VERY clumsy GUI. Useless.  
(Version 1.3.1)

L008COM  I hear this thing works great, however it sucks that you have to pay AGAIN for a to use an upgrade you already bought once.  
(Version 3.0)

L008COM  Needs work! They forgot the 'b' in the version number. Could be good one day, but no today.  
(Version 1.0)

L008COM  I especially like the blood on the bottom of the cars when you crash. This is the best game ever. I think everyone should play. Its also good for the kids, it can help them to get used to driving fast before they actually getting behind the wheel. An excellent game I recommend for everyone. People that want electronic devices to parent their kids for them so they don't have to do as much "work" should stop trying to ruin other people fun and cut their balls off and solve their issue.  
(Version 1.4.4)

L008COM  Kazaa in general, on any machine, has been known to make cable modems shut down.  
(Version 0.6.2)

L008COM  Incredible. Your one source for everything! Better than anything else for any platform!! 5 Stars!  
(Version 0.6)

L008COM  A very poor and, well, not very usefull app.   
(Version 1.7.5)

L008COM  Nice program, great for Thumping :-)  
(Version 5.7)

L008COM  Oh my god, I've never seen anything this fast!  
(Version 0.5)

L008COM  Very Basic, Very Buggy  
(Version 3.5)

L008COM  Not only did it NOT make a bootable copy, but it damadged my boot drive and I had to reinstall everything from the ground up! AVOID THIS PROGRAM AT ALL COSTS!  
(Version 2.1.2)
