Illuminated Clock Screensaver	Sep 6 2009	LEXICON5 Would be nice if the dial floated around so to actually be a screensaver instead of a screen burner. We've had HPs and Apple Cinema Displays alike suffer from burn in by boneheads that leave their monitor on over the weekend at the login screen. You can physically SEE where the login dialogue was positioned when using other apps during the day....takes several hours to "fix" by burning the other parts of the screen equally. Otherwise....kinda cool.. (Version 1.4)		0

Illuminated Clock Screensaver

KAYEL I think I would find it actually annoying if the clock moved around. I have mine set to sleep the display after an hour or so, so I am not worried about burn-in. I suppose if you didn't want the display to ever sleep there would be a danger. I just like the clock to appear when I am out of the room for a few minutes or so. I love it! Thanks to the developer for getting it working in Snow Leopard! Better install procedure, too.

Illuminated Clock Screensaver

MICHAëL FORTIN Theoretically screen savers are still in use only because they look beautiful and not because they are a necessity to preserve the screen. Modern LCD screens are considered mostly immune to the classic burn in you are talking about which affect CRT monitors and is permanent. LCDs do have some kind of image persistence but it takes much more time for the image to persist and even then it's not permanent. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_persistence)

As long as you don't set your screen to stay ON all the time and make it close a while after the screen saver starts there should be absolutely no problem (that would be a good idea to prevent wasting electricity, too). I've been using my screen saver for about 6 months now and it stays on the screen about 1h after I stop using my MacBook (so about 2-3 hrs total each day) and there is no sign of image persistence. I wouldn't consider this a problem at all, but if that's something many people are concerned with I could eventually add a feature to make the clock bounce around to prevent this.

Anyway thanks for the feedback!

Adobe Reader	Jun 10 2009	LEXICON5 Why not make the above link point HERE??!!: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Macintosh That will save people time from downloading the Intel version when they need the PPC version because they are not READING the editors note.

TechTool Pro	Jun 4 2009	LEXICON5 Never had an issue with v.4.x. Bought V.5, ran all the checks, probes, tools and now a once speedy MacBook Pro AND a Mac Pro take twice as long to boot than before I "Optimized" my files/folders etc. Unless you REALLY need to try to salvage a drive...you're better off backing up your data, wiping the drive and reinstalling the OS and apps and pulling your data back over and your machine wont slow down. As for their idiotic update practices....they are pretty much the WORST company in history for what they charge for mere point updates and similar practices. I did buy it with the current MacUpdate bundle for $49.95 so I got a deal....as well as the latest Parallels...these are the full versions...no neutering... (Version 5.0.4)		-1

Microsoft Messenger	Apr 30 2008	LEXICON5 A/V chat on corporate networks only. Not on Personal chats. When will Microsoft GET IT? Give us the SAME features as the Windows users...Fing morons.... (Version 7.0)		-1

Microsoft Messenger

BOUSOZOKU The corporate AV chat is ahead of the chat available on the Windows version, supposedly, and they're migrating the Windows client to use the AV chat protocol that's already available in the Mac OS X client.

It seems as though it's behind, but it's really ahead, even though we still can't use AV chat.

PlistEdit Pro	Nov 2 2007	LEXICON5 Well Property List Editor has not failed me yet and it's FREE. I could see $10.00 but no WAY $24.95. At $24.95 you brush aside those that might need it but find the price too steep. Price it at $10 or $15 and you get more customers. More customers means more money if your product works. As for now, the only comments and reviews people are seeing is "Price Too High" and a paid advertisement by a friend of or the developer. (Version 1.3.1)		+3

SeisMac	Jul 10 2006	LEXICON5 Works...but resizing window causes the Z axis to disappear with no hope of getting it back without quitting/relaunching. Window Zoom causes this effect as well. Another nice feature would be to allow adjustment of the speed of the trace or scale. Save feature would also be nice. Otherwise, neat to show off to friends.... (Version 1.0)		0

Yahoo! Messenger	Jul 8 2006	LEXICON5 Buggy buggy buggy. Some features are cool some no so much. The main issue I'm having is not receiving any off-line or some cases, on-line messages. Also, I can be in the middle of a chat and they just stop receiving my messages thinking I logged off without saying anything. Needs a LOT of work... (Version 3.0b1)		0
