STAR-AFFINITY  Maybe contact the ones working on VirtualBox and ask what they're doing? :)

Here perhaps? http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Mailing_lists  
(Version 3.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  Hey! What's with the people pressing the sad face on my first post? I had a problem and the fix wasn't too obvious. Maybe I could have been more humble in my first question, but I was stressed at work and just threw up the question her on MacUpdate.

OK, bring on the sad faces... :P :)  
(Version 3.5)

STAR-AFFINITY  Hmm... Got it sorted, but I had to throw away the ”Firefox” folder in ”user/Library/Application Support”. I guess one or more files in there where causing every new window to get zoomed, just at bit difficult to know which one...  
(Version 3.5)

STAR-AFFINITY  Why is it that Firefox stil stubbornly opens up its new windows zoomed over the entire screen (maximized) and not using the size the last window I closed had?  
(Version 3.5)

STAR-AFFINITY  What's that got to do with Audio Hijack Pro?

Can you choose what application's audio to record in Snow Tape?

That's what Audio Hijack Pro is about, not only recording internet radio stations. Seems to me that they're two different app with little similarities. Or am I missing something?  
(Version 2.9.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  Oops that Command sign didn't turn out very once posted...

cmd[ for ”Back” and cmd] for ”Forward” is what I meant.  
(Version 3.5rc1)

STAR-AFFINITY  Aaaargh!

Still doesn't work to map ”Back” and ”Forward” to the mouse for me in Firefox.

I have English set as the language in the menus and Swedish as the keyboard layout and pressing ”cmd alt 8” for ⌘[ should do ”Back” while ”cmd alt 9” for ⌘] should do ”Forward”.

Works in all other browsers I've tried but not in Firefox... :(  
(Version 3.5rc1)

STAR-AFFINITY  Does the 1.7.1 update take care of the above problem?  
(Version 1.7.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  Hmm.... Strange, for me it's actually noticeably faster (no, it's not only because of the restart after install). Must be something else that's wrong on your computer, everything is just fine here.  
(Version 4.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  I agree that Data Rescue II is a good program, but comparing it directly to DiskWarrior is a bit unfair. They do different things and there are things that DiskWarrior can do that Data Rescue II can't.

DiskWarrior = rebuilding (fixing) the file system/directoy.

Data Rescue II = restoring data from drives with broken and/or irreparable file system/directory due to hardware or software problems.  
(Version 1.2.2)

STAR-AFFINITY  Agreed on that!  
(Version 1.3)

STAR-AFFINITY  HELMO HASS

”Apple is dead”

No, PPC is dead. :P ;)

(At least on the Macs for now)  
(Version Update 3)

STAR-AFFINITY  I've installed in and like it, but my colleague thinks it looks a bit like Vista... (?)

I guess it's the more squared buttons he think about.  
(Version 2.1.2)

STAR-AFFINITY  What's so bad about Transmission's user interface? Me myself find it awesome!  
(Version 0.9.0.1b)

STAR-AFFINITY  I'd say it's pretty boring (at least the demo).

It feels like the cars tires is made of banana-skids and all that happens is you se ”supper spinout” coming up when doing a flip with the car. And sometimes a voice say ”egg time” (?) in conjunction with the car flipping. Also the camera handling doesn't always feel optimal at times. I'm sorry to say, but over all it feels like the game is a bit unfinished. More like a demo of a potential future game.

The graphics run very smooth with ”everything maxed out” on the ”generation before current” MacBook Pro I have. At the same time the graphics aren't that sophisticated so I guess it should run very smooth...

I'd like to see more of a racing track game (start to finnish) with bonuses and jumps. Or something like that. With better car physics and some mud flying around. :)  
(Version 3.0.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  Does Shimo use the Cisco .kext's (I guess it does)?

We occasionally get Kernel Panics when using the Cisco VPN Client, and it seems to be the Kernel Extensions from Cisco that's causing it... :(

Both on Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.5..  
(Version 2.0.7)

STAR-AFFINITY  Are you running a MacBook Pro with Nvidia graphics?

If you open Console.app can you find something like ”graphic channel timed out” in the logs?  
(Version 4.1.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  I also really like Camino, but I find the scrolling when two-finger-scrollling on the MacBook Pro is a bit smoother in Safari. I don't know why there is a difference in the way scrolling behaves, but I much prefer the way Safari does this. Same goes for Safari vs. Firefox by the way...  
(Version 1.6.5)

STAR-AFFINITY  I've been wondering when this would be released for the Mac.

Great to see it's here now! Will be interesting to try this weekend. :)  
(Version 1.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  I just meant that Apple should do something about the gaming situation on the Mac platform. I'm tired of often having to live with third grade solutions when gaming on a Mac. Or play three year old titles with frame rate penalties because of the porting from DirectX to OpenGL (or whatever the reason is).  
(Version 5.20.69477)

STAR-AFFINITY  Horrible new icons!

Especially when they are shown small, like .sitx archives attachments in an email.

Before one could see they were small boxes, now they look like some "green-blob-with-a-faint-square"-thingy.

Example:

http://home.mac.se/star-affinity/horrible_icons.png  
(Version 13.0.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  Haha! :D Just what I though...

(Sorry, I haven't tried the app, just like the pun...)  
(Version 2.0.5)

STAR-AFFINITY  Seems like a great browser overall, but please do something about the icons.

I think they look quite bad and it feels like they were made in a rush.

Not good enough for a Mac app.

Maybe it's a job for the Iconfactory? :)  
(Version 4.2.5)

STAR-AFFINITY  Safe mode to be able to zoom a window so it covers the screen? Sounds a bit fishy to me... :)

Well, I'll email you instead of communicating here.  
(Version 10.3.2)

STAR-AFFINITY  I of course meant "force quit" not "force quite".

Also to clarify; a forced shut down and restart of the comp was what I meant.  
(Version 10.3.2)

STAR-AFFINITY  Ehhh.... at least on my girlfriends MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.4 the screen freezes when pressing the + button to zoom the Bookends window to cover the entire screen. Only the arrow cursor can be moved around and force quite doesn't work. It seems a forced shut down is required. I could reproduce this two times.

So, an app can still drag down the entire system. Like back in the 90's! :)

But maybe this is a graphics driver issue? I hear something about a graphics core update coming in 10.5.5...  
(Version 10.3.2)

STAR-AFFINITY  Ah... that's crazy! Will send some feedback for sure.

Great there's a way still, even if it includes some Terminal hacking. :)

Thanks for the info guys.  
(Version 8.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  In iTunes 8—where did the "Show links to the iTunes Store" option go? Now the links are suddenly on (I had them off before) and I can't find where to turn them off....

Anyone?  
(Version 8.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  Hideous icon?

I think the icon is quite nice and it blends in with the rest of Camino's icons.

Look at Windows! You have many hideous icons there... :)  
(Version 1.6.3)

STAR-AFFINITY  The data in ViewIt is an option.

Check ther File menu and uncheck "Standard Info" (command I).  
(Version 6.1.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  Should never have been a problem, but at least it's fixed in 10.5.4.  
(Version 10.5.4)

STAR-AFFINITY  Wow, that's a lot better!

Much smoother scrolling and Window resizing. Starts up much quicker too!

Now it feels more like Safari, but of course with a different rendering engine. :)  
(Version 3.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  "That said, EVE is great if you dig complexity and depth over instant gratification. You just need to be unemployed or something to enjoy it I guess :p"

That's exactly what I feel.

I know WoW also requires a lot of time, but I call myself a fairly casual player (with a few monthly "breaks" here and there) and I still think I can enjoy WoW even if I don't have "all purple" gear. It's easy to get into and the battle grounds make it easy for a quick "game in game".

I really want to try EVE (and probably will when I think I have time) but still it feels a bit too complicated. But I guess that's also (as people has been sayiing) what makes it good.  
(Version 5.10.56866)

STAR-AFFINITY  I guess it's a problem with 10.5.2 and/or with graphics drivers, but on my MacBook Pro, before even starting a race the game locked up (horrible music still playing...) and I couldn't move the mouse.

Force quit didn't work.

Could log in with SSH and tried to kill the the Jammin' Racer process. That didn't help except for that the music stopped.

NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel timeout!" in the log.

Apple; please fix.

It's 2008 and I don't want to force restart my computer anymore. :)  
(Version 1.4)

STAR-AFFINITY  Isn't comparing EVE to WoW a bit like comparing apples and oranges?

Sure, they're both MMORPG's, but quite different still, no?

Why does everything have to be compared all the time. Why choose one thing when one can have all? :)  
(Version 4.12.53162)

STAR-AFFINITY  FileZilla!? Are you crazy? ;)

No, but seriously - that must be one of the most ugly "un-Mac" FTP application ever. I may be that it works well in Windows and on Mac OS X too, but if there's one application there's almost "too many" of it's FTP programs.

Yummy FTP, Transmit, Interarchy, Flow, Captain FTP, Fetch, Vicomsoft FTP Client, Cute FTP and of course Cyberduck (I'm sure I forgot some..). All of those look a lot better and I'm quite sure they can compete with FileZilla in features and functionality.

Sorry FileZilla guys, but you have to make a far more pretty GUI to convince me and many of the Mac users out there. :)  
(Version 3.0b3)

STAR-AFFINITY  I can't even scroll with a wired mouse. Can you?

Isn't this because the tools aren't installed?  
(Version 2.0b1)

STAR-AFFINITY  For Windows there's a version with "Premium Graphics Content":

"The same game software as Classic, plus the Premium Graphics Content for all ships, stations and stargates."

Mac and Linux users can't currently download this it seems. :(

I guess there aren't any affordable graphics cards for the Mac that are capable to run the game with that detail anyway... >:(

I'm tired of being a "second class citizen" when it comes to gaming just because I prefer the Mac OS.

Apple: do something! :)  
(Version 4.10.51200)

STAR-AFFINITY  Maybe HolyPoly haven't heard about people with some "self distance". ;-)  
(Version 9)

STAR-AFFINITY  I'm very well aware of this, but in this case it didn't work (and I waited a long time). Even the Dock was stalled and I couldn't start Activity Monitor as that would also stall.  
(Version 12.0.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  "Version 12.0.1 fixes critical issues in Office 2008, including issues that might cause Office 2008 applications to stop responding or quit unexpectedly."

Sounds great!

I can say that it Office 2008 yesterday (before the update) made *all* apps stop responding when I tried to open a new or quit one that was running.

The beachball "disease" spread to other apps from Word 2008. Take a look at this list of non-responding apps:

http://home.mac.se/star-affinity/beachballing.png

I had to force restart the computer... :(  
(Version 12.0.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  I think TOURNESOL means when it comes to controlling Windows or any other non Mac OS X computer. Chicken definitely seem faster for me there too.  
(Version 0.96.12)

STAR-AFFINITY  Hehe. I was just wondering if this fix would ever come out... :)  
(Version 1.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  Hehe. I was just wondering if this fix would ever come out... :)  
(Version 1.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  Yesterday I got a Kernel Panic when trying to connect... :(

It's the first time this happens though, and I've been using it quite frequently. It's not the most beautiful program, but it has been working fine.

I'm on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.1.  
(Version 4.9.01.0100)

STAR-AFFINITY  Very cool game, but I wonder: why no widescreen support? It's soon 2008 and people have computers with widescreen displays. :)  
(Version 1.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  If you've clicked the "For detailed information on this update, please visit this website" you'd see:

"It updates the graphics firmware on the ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO card to address issues that may have caused the computer to freeze.

Not every 20-inch and 24-inch aluminum iMac computer requires this update. If you are not automatically presented with this update, your computer does not need it."  
(Version 1.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  That's cmd-tab folks!

Don't press alt-tab when the boss comes as that won't do much. :)  
(Version 2.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  Impressive. This game manages to *TOTALLY FREEZE* my MacBook Pro when loading the first level. Can't force quit with Cmd + option/alt + esc. Have to force shut down the computer by holding down the power button. Feels like I'm using a Commodore 64 or something... but hey! It's 2007 and I'm on Mac OS X!

It would be better if the games freezing power was used to re-freeze the melting arctics. :P  
(Version 1.0.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  This is a very well made card game with a nice "Mac feel" to it.  
(Version 3.5.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  "Before people speak I wish they would simply have some idea of what they are talking about."

Totally agree on that one.

All over the internet you see people write like they knew what they're talking about when the fact is they have no clue. :(  
(Version 1.15.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  I don't have any problems with the menus looking the way they do now. I think the look is more clean without the stripes. The menus look "3D" enough to me because of the drop shadow.

However I agree that it'd bee cool to be able to customize the looks of the menus. People have different taste and preferences. :)  
(Version 1.5.2)

STAR-AFFINITY  Ok, I will buy it. :)  
(Version 1.0.2)

STAR-AFFINITY  I quickly noticed that Shiira 2.0 scrolls smoother than the current version of Safari. How can this be?

Try both browsers by scrolling the main MacUpdate page up and down with the browser window covering the enire screen.  
(Version 2.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  The "GoogleDesktopDae" daemon every other five soconds eat about 30% to 50% processing power on the MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2, 3 Ghz with 2 GB RAM I have. Fans start to make noise.

Is it indexing perhaps?

Think I will remove it for now...  
(Version 1.0.0.155)

STAR-AFFINITY  This release is wickedly awesome!

The corners for windows in QuickTime Player look good and also the selection in the Finder side bar can be nice and gray, just the way I want. :)

Makes iTunes look great too.

Graphite everywhere makes those important things like pictures, videos and icons stand out from the GUI.

Donation coming! :)  
(Version 1.5)

STAR-AFFINITY  Can't get it to launch — tries to take a place in the Dock, but just vanishes.

MacBook Pro C2D, 2 GB RAM, OS X 10.4.9.  
(Version 2.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  Ha ha! :D  
(Version 1.0a1)

STAR-AFFINITY  It's nice, but it makes the fans start to blow in the MacBook Pro I have...  
(Version 1.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  Why no widescreen support in these days of widescreen displays everywhere?  
(Version 1.0.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  "A Mac has a MAC, but a Mac is not a MAC."

:)  
(Version 1.0b3v33)

STAR-AFFINITY  I don't want to be picky, but please don't type "MAC" when you mean "Mac".

MAC is something else.  
(Version 1.0b3v33)

STAR-AFFINITY  What about the external IP address?

Now I only see the local address I have...  
(Version 1.0.4)

STAR-AFFINITY  :D  
(Version 0.8.6a)

STAR-AFFINITY  :D

Both the above comments gave me a good laugh. Thank you guys! :)

I think the icon represents a mouth and and ear.

I agree it looks quite nasty. The app seems awesome however.  
(Version 4.5.13)

STAR-AFFINITY  Cool!

Love the smoothness of OpenGL scrolling. :)

Now if it only could display PDF-files and if the cursor would hide after a while in full screen mode it'd be even better.  
(Version 2.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  Awesome!

If you've come this far at the age of 13 your going to be an amazing developer when you 're a grownup. :)

But 13?!

That means...when it was year 2000 you were like.....SEVEN! :D

Too bad I can't download your app because of the bandwidth limit. But maybe later...

Anyway, good luck with future development and the rest of your life! :)  
(Version 1.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  ?!

Is the developer 13 years old?

Please type in English so I can understand all you say!

=)  
(Version 1.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  I don't see any ugly gray icons. Please explain. :)  
(Version 2.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  Yeah, I understand that you find it strange people are complaining about an application's icons since you just left the Windows world where almost everything looks like crap. ;)  
(Version 2.2)

STAR-AFFINITY  Ok, how about version 7.0.2? =)  
(Version 7.0.2)

STAR-AFFINITY  The game is awesome!

It is stable if you've got a PPC Mac.  
(Version 0.0.6)

STAR-AFFINITY  I'll bet you the boxed version that the promo is for the downloadable version. ;)  
(Version 1.3.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  Awesome!

Much better than the current set of icons for Smultron.

To be picky I do think the seeds on the Smultron are a bit too red though. Should be more green/yellowish. =)  
(Version 1.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  It's because of the graphics card in the iBook. Doesn''t support pixel shading.  
(Version 1.5.2)

STAR-AFFINITY  There seem to be some issues with Parallels and the MacPro. I think they will fix it though... Just hang in there. :)  
(Version 2.2.1884)

STAR-AFFINITY  Oh, have you tried version 2.1.2? it fixes a possible crash on startup. :)  
(Version 2.1.2)

STAR-AFFINITY  Hmm... I'm also running 10.4.7 and it has never crashed.

Does it work better if you run the app in another user account? Have you tried trashing prefs. etc.?  
(Version 2.1.2)

STAR-AFFINITY  Are you running Mac OS X 10.4.5 or later?  
(Version 2.1.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  Oh, no!

Now with version 2.1 even the application icon has changed to the worse!

It's good one can just copy and past the old one. :)  
(Version 2.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  I'm quite sure this would work, yes.  
(Version 2.2.4)

STAR-AFFINITY  OS X screenshot has been added on their site!

Although, it doesn't look much better than the Windows version... :(  
(Version 7.09)

STAR-AFFINITY  Awesome!

Thanks!  
(Version 2.0.4)

STAR-AFFINITY  I (and many pthers) don't like GooBall's camera and and the games controls.  
(Version 1.6u)

STAR-AFFINITY  Well, I like Safari best. Firefox feels too much like a Windows app. Heck — it even feels better on Windows.

It's mostly the buttons and pop-up menus that look feel different. They are best in Safari then Camino and lastly Firefox. In my opinion that is. =)  
(Version 1.5.0.6)

STAR-AFFINITY  Aha. SheepShaver. =)

Cool. Didn't know about it.

Or it's probably possible to run the map editor in widows using Parallels Desktop.

But both those are of course quite troublesome compared to having a native OS X version...  
(Version 1.14)

STAR-AFFINITY  Classic?!

It doesn't run at all on the Intel Macs and I threw it away from my G4 Mac quite some time ago.  
(Version 1.14)

STAR-AFFINITY  What does a Mac use diabetic for? ;)  
(Version 1.0.3)

STAR-AFFINITY  I've mailed Proteron and asked about this and there was a reason for them not implementing it. I mean the icon status and badges for Mail, Adium etc.  
(Version 2.6)

STAR-AFFINITY  What's so Windowsesque about Skype?

I definitely think it feels like a Mac app.

Even the Windows version has a good GUI imho.  
(Version 2.0.0.161)

STAR-AFFINITY  I agree!

The icons definitely looked better in the earlier versions.

These are horrible even... :(  
(Version 2.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  Wow!

Your're right!

The developers website is just like Daring Fireball.  
(Version 1.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  Gaaaah!

Still no deep sleep support. This sucks big time. going back to 2.0.1 again... :(  
(Version 2.0.5)

STAR-AFFINITY  For me the audio is laggy and doesn't play smoothly in QuickTime Player with this codec installed. Video is fine though.

Both audio and video is just fine in VLC. Why is this?  
(Version 6.0.2)

STAR-AFFINITY  I suggest trashing the preference files for VLC by trashing the VLC folder in *home*—>Library—>Preferences.  
(Version 0.8.5test3)

STAR-AFFINITY  I just wonder; when will Mac gamers get the awesome 3D sound that Windows gamers enjoy in Blizzard's and other companies games? It's quite a big difference than the "standard" stereo that's used in most Mac games.  
(Version 1.20d)

STAR-AFFINITY  I tried again, and when it was started and had never been used in any application it took about 9,5 MB RAM on my machine with a total of 640 MB RAM. I then did the "open" command in TextEdit and then Default Folder grabbed a total of about 17 MB.

Funny if it stays around 9 MB all the time for you.

Funny but good. For you. :)  
(Version 2.5b3)

STAR-AFFINITY  It eats about 22 MB of memory on my machine. I think that's a bit sad.  
(Version 2.5b1)

STAR-AFFINITY  Please continue to update and improve this theme for future versions of OS X. Please, please, please , please. :)  
(Version 1.7.2)

STAR-AFFINITY  I've sent an email to the support twice. They haven't replied. I haven't bought the applictaion yet, is that why they're not answering?  
(Version 7.1.1)

STAR-AFFINITY  I would also suggest trying Tiger Cache Cleaner's "Deep cleaning" option which has solved strange issues with Mac OS X severeal times where I work. I never need to use it on my own computer but I guess those at machines at work doesn't get the love they deserve. =)  
(Version 10.4.5)

STAR-AFFINITY  I went to the home page to check out some screen shots. Instead of seeing Mac OS X screen shots all I got was horrible Windows screens. They hurt my eyes...

I guess I have to download it and try. If I dare... :)  
(Version 6.29)

STAR-AFFINITY  It's awesome!  
(Version 3.1.0527.0)

STAR-AFFINITY  It's a Lingon! :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingonberry  
(Version 1.0.1)
