This is a really cool game, but I'm afraid if I buy it, a iPhone/iPod version will come out - and I would much prefer to play this on my iPod touch. |
|
You can play as a solo player. The trick is to join a non-PVP server. I recommend the Ghostland realm. Its far more fun and you can always do the pvp stuff by going into a battlefield when you feel like it. |
|
Safari is my number one browser, and Firefox is a close second. I use Firefox at least 40% of the time. I like the new look and feel of 3.0. I don't understand the problems reported, but maybe over time I will find some - only been a day, but my initial first impressions are good ones. One gripe: Firefox 2.0 refused to download this version from the official Firefox site. I eventually tried Safari to download it, and it worked first time! Ha! So far, I like it better that the old Firefox, and I loved the old one. |
|
You have to use both of those apps to do what you are doing? I hope you put up a web page explaining the exact steps, 'cause lots of us non-techy people would like to use iPlayer too. |
|
This is the first time I've had serious problems with a game patch. It doesn't seem to be compatible with my year old iMac. The graphic card is ATI Radeon X1600. Now and then weird artifacts will be flashing on the screen, and at least two times the machine froze up and I had to do a force restart. Force quit the app was not possible, so until there is a fix, I am playing it in window mode (not full screen) so the next time the game freezes up, hopefully I can escape better. |
|
AOL? I don't think so. I would say it is the Rolls Royce of online games. |
|
I don't see this as a image editor. I have Photoshop for that. I see this as a FTP program to quickly put images up for my blog. The fact that it can do some quick on the fly editing is just icing on the cake for me, and I do use them for the web images have to place. But putting rounded corners on images, that's not what anyone usually does for web imagery. Just my 2 cents in a age where the dollar is second fiddle to the euro. |
|
I'm glad the feature exists, now I am a happy camper. |
|
There's just one thing wrong with it, but it is a biggy with me. In OS X, the Finder save dialogue box has a Windows behaviour, no doubt to placate the switchers, but it is a useful thing I do like a lot - the ability to click on a file name and replace that file with the same name. Saves me a whole lot of typing. For some reason this software does away with that, and I find it annoying!!! |
|
It does not work with my RingCentral account. I have no problem using eyeBeam (commercial version of X-Lite) with RingCentral. |
|
I don't understand the comment either. The bug is in Leopard, not in this software. The author has created a workaround to prevent a problem. He's to be punished or blamed for this? Odd logic! |
|
This is the first version I actually like! Before I disliked it to use and I got rid of it, but this version is more friendlier. I paid the upgrade fee after just two minutes of use. |
|
I upgraded from 1.0.6 to 1.0.8a and now I find it very annoying because the speed is now variable. Must be a Leopard incompatibility. I hope it gets fixed so the Pacman will not keep slowing down and speeding up at different times in the game. |
|
I should have noted that Macupdate points to Macgamefiles to download the game, and they have a different serial number scheme from popcap. |
|
If you purchased 1.0 from popcap.com, you will have to download the updated version from them, and then your serial number will work. |
|
After upgrading my computer to Leopard, I was able to use this update. |
|
This update won't work. It complains that KidPix is running, please close the program. Not true. I had the same issue with the last update as well, but last time I rebooted the machine and was able to run the patch. Not so this time. |
|
I love this SoftPhone. It works with RingCentral's DigitalLine service. I haven't tried the extra features, such as recording and the like, but as far as calling and receiving calls, it works. |
|
I was having very poor performance on my Mac Book Pro with Parallels, but very great performance on my iMac, which has about the same specs as my Mac Book Pro. Then I went about tweaking it today. Turns out, the application was given well over a gig of memory which made my laptop run like molasses. I turned it down to 864mb (under preferences), then I set the internal memory of the virtual machine to be 764mb (the recommended amount due to the prior setting.) Now both my Mac and the virtual machine is running speedy. |
|
I think you should reinstall Google. Your Mac probably needed some maintenance, which you did with Disk Warrior. My guess is that everything will work fine now. |
|
It isn't unusual or unheard of that one utility will give you a clean bill of health but others find problems - which is why it's recommended to have more than one such utility. |
|
I've used Skype for a Looooooonnnng time and I can't remember it ever crashing. And I tend to install lots of beta stuff on my machine. |
|
Okay, I will check it out then. |
|
You can display your current screen saver onto your desktop by typing in this line into Terminal: /System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background Now, I wonder if paying $30 for a program that does essentially the same thing is worth it? Or am I missing something? |
|
DropCopy does this elegantly and is free. |
|
Only you are having that problem. Try restarting the machine. |
|
I like this, the program is well thought out and structured with lots of workouts after the lesson. However, the price is very high, and for less money you can get one years worth of instruction at chinesepod.com. I haven't tried the later, so I can't really give a comparison, but it is something to ponder. Overall, this program is impressive - I'm just held back by the price. |
|
This would be more useful if they had forward and backward buttons, and also a button to pick cards at random. In other words, be more like a hypercard stack. And a program like this should at least have beautiful calligraphy, chinese characters deserve that. Too much minimal effort. |
|
Anyone happy with NeoOffice will not be happy using this X11 implementation - its just too crude and unfriendly - not its fault, that is the way of X11. NeoOffice is always going to be one step behind with their revisions, so you'll be missing the latest and greatest features/security fixes but for productivity and Mac friendliness, that is a small price to pay. |
|
This phone does not work with my RingCentral account. Currently, RingCentral has a beta softphone for their VoIP service but it is Windows only. I was hoping to use this. RC supports VoIP hardware, and to do that, an authorization number has to be used. This softphone doesn't seem to support that protocol. |
|
You should be looking for a clipboard icon in the menubar. Maybe you are expecting an app window to appear? |
|
I just installed it onto my PB, same configuration/model as yours, and all is well. |
|
The best Backgammon game I have found is by Freeverse, and it is one of numerous games in a single package for about the price of this one game. It won the Apple Design Award, so check it out: http://www.freeverse.com/bbbg/ |
|
This knocks the socks off what Adobe is trying to do. Long time user, I upgraded right away. |
|
Why so long for the Intel version??? |
|
Amadeus could be used for such purpose, but ideally you'd want a multitrack editing program. I use Amadeus whenever possible, but for heavy duty work, I use Apple's Soundtrack which comes included with Final Cut Studio. |
|
Competition? Try Amadeus. It does this and a whole lot more for a very good price. |
|
$179 is a lot of money. If I had to retrieve data that is irreplaceable, I guess it would be worth every penny, but I am not in that situation and hopefully, with the backup system in Leopard, I will never have to be and neither will you. |
|
I use both Growl and Unsanity numerous haxes and I do not see any noticeable slow down. |
|
Version 2.9 adds all the features I thought were necessary. The best puzzle game available! |
|
Similar report here of a file getting hung during the file exchange. I was only sending a second file, not like I was sending loads of stuff. Also, when sending a file, the MAC address seems to come out the other end as 'coming from', instead of listing the user at the other end like the way it does for IM'ing. BTW, I love the ability to send quick small messages. Looks promising and I adore the concept, look forward to a bug free version. |
|
I'm using the Intel version and I have no problem using it with an iMac Core 2 Duo. |
|
Nice app - you can't beat free! Interestingly, if you have multiple desktops (i.e. VirtualDesktops), it only works in the desktop it was launched into. Maybe this is a bug? I actually think of it as a feature, because there will be times you won't want it on, and other times you do; so simply change into the other desktop! |
|
This is amazing software, sure it is rough around some edges (my Boot Camp is in Fat32, not supported in this version), but it is BETA and the parts where it works is solid and the parts that need working on, it gets done eventually. The coherence caught me off guard - if I knew they would try to do this, I would not have invested $40 into Codeweavers software. The Parallels ability to make PC apps run side by side with Mac apps, something the WINE project has promised for a long time, is brilliant and the WINE method will never, ever, be this compatible. |
|
Deleted your VM disk image? Doh!! I sure hope your boot camp is not formatted in Fat32, because 3036 does not yet support it! |
|
Very useful and entertaining, and actually fun to use. And best of all it's free. |
|
I've been using this program for at least ten years - since its 1.0 version, I find it indispensable. Back in '96 I remember configuring it to mimic the Windows 95 task bar so that PC people would feel a bit more comfortable using a Mac. There are hundreds of ways you can configure it, you are only limited by your imagination. I love the new furry skin introduced in this version, and look forward to many more interesting skins. |
|
I had no such trouble on my Titanium 1Ghz PowerBook running 10.4.8. |
|
Shades is great and I love it, but I have a couple things I wished it featured: 1) to exclude (or hide) itself from certain programs. For example, in Parallels Desktop it becomes a nuisance. 2) the choice for it to be vertical as well as horizontal. |
|
I have to downgrade my earlier review, because I have found that the software doesn't seem to work properly with the PC client. My work mates don;t see me online or they can't see my IM's or both. To workaround this, I had to switch to Fire, which works flawlessly. |
|
This game has a lot of welcome features but I find it strange that there are instructions for setting up a server for a linksys router, and no mention for an Airport base station. |
|
This is my PDF viewer of choice from now on. Thanks! |
|
X11 is Universal on my machine, and it is version 1.1. |
|
Actually, it already has broken free of X11. Check out NeoOffice. |
|
Are you running 10.4.8? That is the recommended OS. |
|
Unbeleivable fantastic software for an absolutely fantastic price - FREE! Runs great on my Macintel. |

After playing around with it a bit, I disovered that the game does indeed have sound FX, but they are OFF by default. Maybe you should have them ON by default? Just a suggestion. Here's a couple more comments for improvements: 1) Please conform keyboard commands to OS X standards - for example, preferences should be Command-Comma (instead of Command-Y). 2) Making a puzzle only 30 or 24 pieces is very hard to do. I have a three year old who loves to do puzzles on the computer, but at her level, about 30 pieces is the best she can handle. It takes me about 30 seconds trying to manuveur the mouse in a tiny increment to do this! |

I'm a big fan of the Super Jigsaw collection by Gamehouse, but I've always wished they would include the ability to use my own Photos and Pictures. So finding this program was a godsend. I think the author should visit the Gamehouse games and borrow some of their ideas. For user friendliness, GH wins big, simply because they use cool sound effects. I sorely miss the 'click' noise when the pieces 'snap' together. JiXii is a good effort, but it needs to be more user friendly to make it feel like a well rounded game. Here is my wishlist: 1) Implement soundfx, especially for clicks with the mouse and for when pieces snap together. 2) Link the program to the iPhoto library so snatching photos is a snap. 3) Link the game to iTunes, so we can have our own soundtrack in the background! Even though JiXii falls a bit short, I intend to send in my shareware fee. |

You are likely to hear her fine, because your download bandwidth is far greater than your upload bandwidth. I have cable, and my stats are: 2770 kbps download, 345 kbps upload. If you have something like a bit torrent going on in the background, it would explain your terrible experience. Be sure you are not uploading anything at the same time as you call out with Skype. This applies to Vonage or any other VoIP. |
|
Your mileage will vary from day to day, sometimes it will be like you are calling next door, sometimes it will be lousy, like what you experienced. Such is VoIP. I live in South San Francisco, but my SkypeIn number is a local number in London. Now my dad can call me for cheap, and calls are relayed to my mobile. |
|
This Beta 1 is more like an Alpha 1. IE6 failed to load any page I tried to surf to. That said, I have pre-ordered the software and paid my money, because this has potential to be something great in at least a year from now. For the time being, its only for the bravest of those who like to be on the bleeding cutting edge. Will I have to wait that long before it is useable? Only time will tell. |
|
I think the Mac version is far superior to the PC version. Why would I want to have adverts displaying on my screen? Give me a break! The Mac version is more professional looking and is not littered with ads, I hope it stays this way but something tells me that won't be the case. |
|
Did you try deleting the preferences? |
|
I have Alarm Clock Pro, but I use this one too, and I tend to use this one more often - it is just very simple and easy to use and always a click away being up in the menubar. |
|
Virtual desktops for the Mac has existed since 1985. I used to use one in System 7, giving me a 30" monitor on a small 9" Mac screen. : ) |
|
I have an Intel iMac and I was able to solve the problem, which is fairly common with many apps, such as some games, Parallels and others having permissions issues. After installing the app, do a GET INFO and change the permissions for OTHERS from READ ONLY to READ & WRITE. Now, when you switch to another user account, Virtual will ask for an admin password, but it will be a one time only event. |
|
It seems to be a web browser, pretending to be something else. It works though. And its free. |
|
no, it's absolutely splendid! |
|
The UI is greatly improved, more Mac like. Welcome changes. I'll do a review when it is no longer beta. : ) |
|
Wondering if I should download this. If I do, then everyone thinks I'm a nerd. What to do? |
|
Been using this for a long time, I like it. I learnt a couple years ago to just ignore the updates, because if I wait two months, then I save myself from having to install it 10 times over and over, because that is how often this app gets updated. There must be two or three guys that never sleep, and have no life. I pity them. : ) |
|
Actually, pixels would be most useful, for the graphic/web people in the world. |
|
My XP would never keep the proper time on cold reboots. Now it does. |
|
Good arcade game. I had to put it on Rookie and turn on auto shoot and I racked up 21,200 points, lasted about 8 minutes before I finally died, so I don't think the harsh critisism is justified. |
|
A very cool game. The only wish is that it was $10 cheaper - $30 seems a bit too steep. Still, I will probably pay to get all the levels, just not right away. |
|
Fortunately (or not) Déjà Vu does not operate on a Intel Mac. |
|
I have used Toast for many years, but only recently have I upgraded to Toast 7. It is great. It works flawlessly as have all other editions I have used. I had reservations about upgrading, especially now that I have a Intel iMac, and Toast is not Universal. But it doesn't seem to matter, it works very well, I can burn DVD's from DiVX files and create cool VCD's and all that good stuff. I think the price held me back, but now I think it is worth the price, rebate or no rebate. |
|
When you installed Toast, it gave you the option for this, and you choose Toast to handle your CD's and DVD's. Open your system preferences and choose "CDs and DVD" pane. You will see that for both CD's and for DVD Toast is selected to handle them. You can change it back to the Finder or iTunes or any other app. cheers mate! |
|
I've since found the buying info on the actual page for the game, but I expected a big 'buy now' button on the developers homepage. Also, the first screen of the game has a 'buy' button, I never noticed that before, maybe it was added in 1.1 after they read my comment : ) Odd thing about the game is that it is version 1.1, but yet it looks unfinished, as if in beta. For example, instead of the menu saying "About Mountaintanks' or "Quit Mountaintanks" or 'Mountaintanks help', it instead says "About NewApplication", "Quit NewApplication" and "NewApplication help". How did this get past the beta testers? Version 1.1 seems to crash if you play more than two games, so I recommend quiting the app and restarting it just to be on the safe side. I intend to give my $14 after tomorrow (my payday). |
|
I played it once, and I wanted to buy it. But the readme doesn't say how to buy it. So I went to the website (batteryacid.org) and there is no information on how to buy this game. |
|
Wouldn't doing something actually useful like running SETI@home or looking for a cure for cancer in the background have the same effect? |
|
If I don't have a remote control, how can I use Front Row? And even if I had a remote, my TiBook doesn't seem to have an infrared port, so again, how can I use Front Row? Is there a keyboard command in this software?? |
|
I have been using this since System 8. This beta version is the best version so far of typeit4me - until now I have been mostly dissatisfied with the OS X version, performance wise and asthetically. But this new version finally has it the way it should have been for OS X. Be sure to log out after installation, as the expansion triggers did not work for me until I had restarted my machine. |
|
The new colour Apple icon is great! And I love the new features. I think its the best of the 'Apple-menus' available. |
|
I like this Apple menu program, because it is straight forward and simple and does what it claims to do (without any low level system hacks). The only complaint is that the icon it puts into the menubar is not as pretty as all the other icons I have up there. |
|
This is cool. Not only does it quit all your apps before the game, it remembers them, and relaunches those apps after you quit the game. You can determine which apps/processes it quits from a list, so it is configurable to fit your needs. Your gaming needs that is. |
|
If you like to play pinball, then you'll loe this game. It really does convincingly turn your Mac into a pinball machine. As virtual pinball games go, this one is the best. |
|
MADMACMAD: "i like it to play with my girlfrind when i travel..." Did you really have to tell us this? Pac the Man is a fun version of PacMan and I am really happy to see an Intel version come so soon. Yea! |
|
Doesn't work on iMac (Intel) either. |
|
This is not needed in Tiger. The DVD Player already lets you fast forward annoying commercials, I tried it on Shrek 2. |
