1Password
Oct 13 2009
****.

MATTETH  1password has been a must have for me for a few years, and I have been happy with it. For long I just used it forgot it, just as one should with a utility.

1p has very active developers, which of course is a good thing. The downside is that they choose to update the application very often, causing it to throw alerts on updates all the time.

As for version 3, I'm afraid it will be even more "A Big Application". I personally think it should be a utility. Lean and good. Just work.

Developers: you're the best. But don't overdo it. Keep updating 1Password when necessary - and get to work on your next big thing :)

Inquisitor
Nov 13 2008

MATTETH  Well. It seems like the Yahoo at last have put it's mark on one of my favourite applications.

I can no longer get instant search results when another search engine (than Yahoo) is selected. It's Yahoo or nothing. A bummer. I understand the commercial motives, but it makes Inquisitor less useful.

iShutDown

MATTETH  Could be useful, but seem unfinished:

- No easy way to enter the countdown time and shutdown/sleep behaviour (you shouldn't have to open preferences)

- Not properly localized: parts of the dialogues show up in italian ;-)

CrashPlan
Feb 21 2008
*****

MATTETH  Great idea - and works well.

+ On-site and off-site backup

+ Back-up between friends

+ Restore over local network instead of over the internet

+ Backs up constantly and unobtrusively

+ Cross-platform

-You can't store backup as plain, unencrypted files on local etwork

- Java-based. Sometimes system-intensive. Has become better though.

- It would be great to be able to backup to or restore from a local hardddrive, and then move it to another computer as a backup destination.

BYRONICAL  Its July 2009 and this product still does not support H264.

Don't waste your money and time buying this product if you live in a country that broadcasts Digital TV in H.264/MPEG-4 formats.

For me the software came bundled with a DVB-T hauppauge USB stick. And to watch TV on my MacBook, I have to now buy EyeTV software http://www.elgato.com/

MATTETH  Thanks. But I can't change search engine for "Live results" to Google though.

No big deal, though.

MATTETH  The 1.0rc3 sure look good: Nice Facebook integration, improved RSS reader,more online services supported, and it looks better.

The only complaint I have after one day's use is that Yahoo is the main serach engine. I would like to be able to have live results from Google. (InquisitorX on Safari is still better than Flock's search.)

JAHNOTH  You can change the default Search engine in the preferences, under Searching. Just choose Google there. Easy enough to change.

MATTETH  As of 1.8.1, still no support for accented characters - not even in file-paths. A deal-breaker for many of us. I.e unusable for Scandinavians, French, etc.

MATTETH  Saved my day. I needed to keep a script alive on a kiosk-type computer - guaranteed, for a long time.

Still works, after six months. If it crashes, it immediately kicks in again, thanks to launchd and Lingon.
