ST00P!D M0NK3Y  Parallels is a bit finicky with games, but whatever works. Boot Camp will always have the best performance with games, but sometimes I just don't want to boot into Windows to play games.

At least you found an alternative. =)

LEIFH  I'm trying to record my keynote because the built-in recording feature doesn't record my transitions but this uses 150% CPU according to activity monitor, and that's on Intermediate Codec (supposedly the least CPU intensive). I've tried everything else on the list and they all run at over 100% so my keynote lags. I'm using an intel imac (1.83 ghz) btw.

I love the Mac community for its development of great freeware and shareware apps, but folks, you have to do your homework!

AudioHijack is way ahead of this.

Drop it, find a real niche, and then blow our socks off.

Parallels Desktop
Jan 11 2007

LEIFH  Why would you need both?

Bootcamp and Parallels do the same thing except with Parallels you can run windows and mac at the same time.

It's probably Bootcamp's fault. It's a beta. I hated Bootcamp when I had it. It slowed down my computer so much.

Parallels Desktop

SCOTTYARCH  Boot Camp doesn't slow down your computer, it's a separate partion and Windows cannot run while you're in OS X. If anything, you probably gave too much space to the Windows partition and left too little space on your Mac OS X partition, leaving it not operating space.

Also, as of yet, Parallels is still not an option for gaming. Let me know when it works for than, then we'll talk about $80 for it.

pearLyrics
Sep 14 2006
*****

LEIFH  Okay I don't mean to completely diss Harmonic and I hate doing this but that is the only other program I've used for downloading lyrics.

pearLyrics is great. I was using Harmonic before this but it lost it's magic. It stopped getting lyrics.

But this...this is is amazing. Incredibly fast, and very compatible (not so much with Danish songs but that was expected and actually slightly better than Harmonic in that way too).

It comes with both an app and widget and searches 7 sites and google, compared to Harmonics one site search. It also has a reject button, just in case it came up with the wrong lyrics.

One thing I hated about Harmonic was for some songs if I had Simon & Garfunkel instead of Simon and Garfunkel then it would come up with an error and I would have to change the artist, let it download the lyrics and change it back. Pear allows you to change it from within the widget/app.

Whew.

Anyway, my only suggestions are to work a little on the interface and make the app a universal binary.

AOKI  Hello, Royalty free means that you can buy the music and dont pay royalties all the time.. meaning that you may purchase and use it as many times you like! for your personal and licensed use of course.

Many people get confused with this, its just like using a song from any music CD, it is proibited, unless the music is licensed or autorized by the author.

Regards..

A.T.

MACMARIA  Because this app does much more than showing how much battery you have left. It checks its behavior and allows comparation with a database of similar batteries. More so, like it was said before, it warns you (via Growl or via the app itself) what's the level and status of the battery.
