Firefox 3.0 Type: Review Date: 17 Jun 2008 19:00 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Firefox 3 is working great and is a solid browser. The integrated Mac form elements are a big leap in the right direction. It's also faster with Ajax apps!

Firefox 3.0 Type: Comments Date: 17 Jun 2008 18:58

I'm on a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11 and it's fast. Extensions can slow it down, maybe you have one that's causing issues? Just a thought.

Fluid 0.9 Type: Comments Date: 21 Apr 2008 13:56

Crap. This was suppose to be a reply to previous comments. I'd never suggest Prism over Fluid, except for those on 10.4.x.

Fluid 0.9 Type: Comments Date: 21 Apr 2008 13:55

Grab Mozilla Prism. Same idea, not as cool, but works under 10.4.x.

teleport 1.0.1 Type: Troubleshooting Date: 15 Apr 2008 12:38

This is a great utility, however my mouse keeps getting stuck on the other computer (G5 iMac running 10.3.9) My main machine is a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11

Licensed 1.0 Type: Comments Date: 13 Apr 2008 23:08

The MacUpdate download was giving me 1.0b1 and not the final 1.0. The developers website has the 1.0 release.

ScreenRecycler 1.16 Type: Troubleshooting Date: 8 Apr 2008 20:19

I can't get it to install. When it gets to 'select a destination' nothing shows. Help.

TwitterPod 1.7.19 Type: Comments Date: 9 Mar 2008 22:12

Add i posting to Pownce too and I'm all for this version. http://pownce.com/api/

Mailplane 1.60.1 Type: Review Date: 28 Dec 2007 09:30 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Excellent application for checking my Gmail accounts. Very nicely done.

VirtueDesktops 0.54b5 Type: Comments Date: 18 Dec 2007 07:30

Glad to see it back. Hopefully it stops my random crashes on 10.4. :)

Fluid 0.2 Type: Review Date: 16 Dec 2007 15:54 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Awesome. Better than Mozilla's Prism. Thanks. ;)

XMas Lights 1.5.6 Type: Review Date: 30 Nov 2007 12:54 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Thanks for adding 10.4 support back. There is a minor bug with changing the blink delay as it doesn't update without a restart. Very very minor, It's just great to see back!

XMas Lights 1.5.5 Type: Comments Date: 26 Nov 2007 14:41

Did you really get rid of 10.4 support? Please say no. Or at least give a link to an older version please.

Firefox 3.0b1 Type: Review Date: 21 Nov 2007 09:49 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

It's nice to see aqua widgets now built in and the new theme (coming soon) is also a great addition!

HallowScream Screensaver 1.0 Type: Review Date: 25 Oct 2007 08:04 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Fun, festive and nicely done.

ThemeMatic 2.0 Type: Comments Date: 23 Jul 2007 15:16

Believe it or not, search engine optimization doesn't come out of a box and there is no guarantee that any site will archive top rankings with this, or any other, software.

Correo 0.2 Type: Comments Date: 13 Apr 2007 14:44

Works fine with my IMAP accounts.

Yahoo! Widget Engine 4.0 Type: Review Date: 22 Mar 2007 13:41 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Works ok on my iMac under 10.3.9 but the calendar widget now only pulls in my main iCal calendar and not all my subscribed to calendars too. So I feel lost. The previous calendar widget worked great. I've also had a few widgets crash. Sad.

Spirited Away 0.7 Type: Comments Date: 20 Mar 2007 14:34

Looks great but doesn't launch on 10.3.9

Google Notifier 1.9.90 Type: Comments Date: 15 Jan 2007 17:35

I found the 10.3.9 version at http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Internet-Utilities/Gmail-Notifier.shtml No calendar support though.

Icon2Png 1.1 Type: Review Date: 20 Nov 2006 20:57 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Works excellent still today! Converted icons to PNG files perfectly.

Viou 2.5 Type: Review Date: 24 Oct 2006 14:59 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Works great and free. What could be better?

Firefox 2.0 Type: Review Date: 23 Oct 2006 16:40 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

I've been using FF2 since release client 2 and it's just amazing. Faster than before and it includes spell check!! Plus so many other little things. Great update. Can't wait till it's a bit more Mac integrated though. ;)

Skype 1.5.0.75 Type: Comments Date: 30 Aug 2006 21:21

Thanks. I think they should label it beta. That'd help. :)

Skype 1.5.0.75 Type: Comments Date: 30 Aug 2006 18:43

Is this a beta version? There seems to be three different versions out there. 1.4.0.49 from Skype's Website 1.5.0.75 (this one) 1.5.0.61 'video preview'

VirtueDesktops 0.53r212 Type: Comments Date: 19 Aug 2006 10:25

It won't stop asking me to enter my admin password. I even tried uninstalling. Intel iMac - 10.4.7

Flock 0.7.0.17.1 Type: Review Date: 14 Jun 2006 19:21 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Now Universal and amazing. It's almost better than Firefox!

Apple iMac SMC Firmware Update 1.0 Type: Comments Date: 17 May 2006 07:44

It was in software update so I installed. it. Spotlight doesn't work though.

Apple iMac SMC Firmware Update 1.0 Type: Comments Date: 16 May 2006 20:22

I never know if I should install these or not. Is this for all Intel iMacs or just those who care about Bootcamp?

Fish 1.3 Type: Review Date: 14 May 2006 18:43 Features: Playability: Graphics & Sound: Stability:

I love this. It's great quality, free and runs beautifully! Thanks.

Firefox 1.5.0.3 Type: Comments Date: 3 May 2006 09:26

Ugly? Get a theme like iPox or something.

Bejeweled2 Deluxe 1.0b Type: Review Date: 18 Mar 2006 12:01 Features: Playability: Graphics & Sound: Stability:

Works great on my Intel iMac! The demo is to short though.

Flock 0.5.13 Type: Comments Date: 15 Mar 2006 07:29

Any Intel versions yet?

Flock 0.5.12 Type: Comments Date: 24 Feb 2006 18:00

You did read the important note that you had to delete your profile folder or weird things would happen right? This is beta and they fully admit that. But you also have to read their install instructions.

Firefox 1.5.0.1 Type: Review Date: 2 Feb 2006 10:10 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Gets better with every update. Great functionally and features. Gotta be the best browser out there.

SeaMonkey 1.0 Type: Review Date: 1 Feb 2006 14:03 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Not bad. Great all in one option but missing many customization features that Firefox/Thunderbird has. Like a good RSS reader, ability to customize the navigation bar or make small icons. Also needs a good default theme.

Microsoft IntelliType Pro X 5.4 Type: Comments Date: 16 Jan 2006 11:33

I have a PC Wireless Photo Keyboard and these drivers don't seem to want to work with the far left round buttons. The software also doesn't list a PHOTO version.

Yahoo! Widget Engine 3.0 Type: Review Date: 13 Dec 2005 09:58 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Works great, just has a new, worse, name. I like Konfabulator much better.

Firefox 1.5 Type: Review Date: 30 Nov 2005 06:40 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Excellent. Improvements all around and no issues installing. Great upgrade.

Firefox 1.5rc2 Type: Comments Date: 11 Nov 2005 17:52

Mine does it too in 10.4 (FF 1.0.7). My guess is something is set to read only when it's not supposed to be. I never looked for a solution as I didn't care that much. And I use Firefox all the time. More Info: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288139

MacScan 2.0b3 Type: Review Date: 8 Nov 2005 19:03 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Worked just fine for me under 10.3. Boss says I have to run some Spyware software so this works great. No spyware either. ;)

Firefox 1.5rc1 Type: Comments Date: 2 Nov 2005 12:24

Lovely apple checkboxes can be done. Just hasn't been applied yet. Maybe in 2.0

Eudora 6.2.3 Type: Review Date: 17 Oct 2005 18:18 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

It's like a blast from the past. It doesn't seem like much has changed on the outside for the past 5 years or more. The look and feel are show stoppers for me. Plus it has ads. Thunderbird is FREE and much much nicer.

Firefox 1.5b2 Type: Comments Date: 7 Oct 2005 09:37

Why don't you export them and save them in a safe place incase this happens again?

TNEF`s Enough 2.0 Type: Review Date: 26 Jul 2005 10:27 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

This is exactly what I needed. No more forward issues from those PC people. Now I can open winmail.dat and get the files out. AWESOME!!!

Yahoo! Widget Engine 2.1 Type: Review Date: 25 Jul 2005 20:40 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Now that it's free it's awesome. Love to have widgets on the desktop not in a separate window. Also works in 10.3 and 10.2!!!!

Desktop Manager 0.5.3 Type: Review Date: 20 Jul 2005 23:17 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

I'm worried about the 'alpha' status, but no one seems to have issues. I just started using this program and it's so cool and handy. THANK YOU!

Firefox 1.0.6 Type: Comments Date: 20 Jul 2005 17:28

To get around that issue, open a webpage or file in firefox from another application or the desktop.

Adobe Flash Player 8.0beta Type: Comments Date: 20 Jul 2005 11:52

Won't allow Contribute to work anymore. :(

Shiira 1.1 Type: Review Date: 14 Jul 2005 16:00 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Fast as fast can be on 10.3.9! Love the Firefox brookmarks in Shiira feature. Sooo nice. However, issues with yahoo mail and gmail. when i put my name in the username box and hit tab it disappears.

Firefox 1.0.5 Type: Comments Date: 13 Jul 2005 15:09

Works for me in FF 1.0.5 on 10.3.9

HandBrake 0.7b3 Type: Review Date: 20 Jun 2005 11:34 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Worked great at converting a promotional DVD to MP4. Pretty slick and great quality! I would like more export options. I wanted the DVD piece to go on the web so I still need to compress it to something more web friendly.

Gas 1.0 Type: Review Date: 18 Jun 2005 21:29 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

I have had no issues with this widget. Does exactly what it says and looks good. A little large for me though. I'd rather see it all half the size.

Solitaire XL 1.1 Type: Review Date: 7 Jun 2005 14:43 Features: Playability: Graphics & Sound: Stability:

This is an awesome looking game of Solitaire! No internet required as I didn't have it when I first played the game. GREAT work! To bad it doesn't work on an older G3

TV Tracker 1.0 Type: Review Date: 4 May 2005 21:27 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

This is cool, however it's really big. Can we make it smaller? Screen real estate is very valuable. It also seems slow to load information. Great idea though. Very useful.

Adium X 0.80 Type: Review Date: 4 May 2005 10:19 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Unbelievable. I didn't think it could get much better and it has blown me out of the water!

Kensington MouseWorks X 2.6 Type: Comments Date: 16 Mar 2005 14:30

It's amazing. I thought it was just me. If they fixed that my mouse would be sooo much better.

Firefoxy 1.3.2 Type: Comments Date: 19 Feb 2005 18:50 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

This is cool, but there are issues with radio buttons on some sites as they don't show. That's not cool. However, I'm glad you got the checkbox/radio button highlight to go away.

MacBiff 1.1.11 Type: Review Date: 16 Feb 2005 15:34 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

This is great! It successfully checks my imap mail and lets me know when there are new messages via message count. It even sorts out the folders, un-read messages and more. Perfect for what I needed and very un-obtrusive. Not perfect as the colors and icon never change, but I don't need that. Love the preview unread messages feature too. That way I don't run and check my webmail when spam arrives.

Meteorologist 1.4.2 Type: Review Date: 20 Jan 2005 18:04 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Newer version doesn't crash on me anymore! It's be running for hours. Love it.

Meteorologist 1.4.1 Type: Review Date: 19 Jan 2005 13:24 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

This would be cool if it didn't crash every few minutes. Not sure what's causing it either. Running on iMac G5

Meteorologist 1.4.1 Type: Comments Date: 19 Jan 2005 10:19

Minnesota mirror has it now.

Meteorologist 1.4.1 Type: Comments Date: 18 Jan 2005 14:47

I can't find a mirror that has it. :(

Caboodle 1.0b1 Type: Review Date: 7 Jan 2005 16:19 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

This could be just what I'm looking for. Small, free, very customizable and should keep track of my projects quite well! Love the fact you can add in and name more fields as you need them.

TwistMas Candy 1.0 Type: Developer Date: 7 Dec 2004 11:38

Contact me via my website and let me know of this bug. I am un-aware of it but now that I know I may be able to fix it.

TwistMas Candy 1.0 Type: Developer Date: 5 Dec 2004 18:11

Use Shapeshifter to apply the default Aqua theme.

Thunderbird 1.0rc1 Type: Review Date: 2 Dec 2004 14:39 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Are the stripes in the inbox new? I think so and their so nice. Either that or something has changed and made this much easier on the eyes, and it was easy before. GREAT UPDATE!!

TwistMas 1.0 Type: Developer Date: 1 Dec 2004 14:18

As far as I know it's not the guiKits fault. That'd be a shpapeshifter issues. Also, I use Default Folder and have had no issues.

NightLights Screensaver 2.0 Type: Review Date: 29 Nov 2004 14:24 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

I have to say that this is great! The free version works awesome and has enough features to keep me satisfied. Good Job.

TwistMas 1.0 Type: Developer Date: 26 Nov 2004 17:23

Why do you say that? Striped maybe but not solid. Can't be THAT bad can it? Please explain.

Firefoxy 1.1 Type: Hint/Tip Date: 18 Nov 2004 12:20 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

This is awesome! So much easier than the manual way! Now if we could just get it to put in blue radio buttons on focus that'd be great! AWESOME WORK.

Firefox 1.0 Type: Review Date: 9 Nov 2004 10:39 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Amazing browser. It has all the features of Safari plus tons more!! I LOVE it!!

Firefox 1.0 RC2 Type: Comments Date: 5 Nov 2004 10:49

Ok you probably have to get rid of the application support folder. home -> library -> application support -> firefox This will delete all bookmarks too so save that file if you want to save them.

Adium X 0.7 Type: Review Date: 19 Oct 2004 10:49 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Simply Amazing. So much customization that it can make anyone happy.

Firefox 1.0PR Type: Comments Date: 14 Sep 2004 14:14

I just right click, save link as...

Firefox 1.0PR Type: Review Date: 14 Sep 2004 10:46 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Wow this is looking GREAT! Nice to see they sold Safari's RSS idea. Get spell check and it'll be an amazing browser!

To bad I can't install themes. :(

Firefox 0.9.3 Type: Comments Date: 4 Aug 2004 15:28

Just wait. It'll open/close a few times before it starts up the first time.

1.0b1 Type: Review Date: 28 Jul 2004 20:42

This is so sweet! Free and works with iCal! OMG I love this! Any chance of adding an icon to the menu bar if i have an event on that day? That'd be sweeter!
