Parallels Desktop	May 31 2006	YANOKWA The site is getting hammered, so try these unofficial mirrors: http://www.anokwa.com/Parallels-Desktop-1842.7-Mac.dmg http://cs.washington.edu/homes/yanokwa/Parallels-Desktop-1842.7-Mac.dmg (Version 2.2.1842.7)		0

Java 2 SE 5.0 Xcode Template	Mar 12 2006	YANOKWA The Java template for XCode 2.2 only builds for Java 1.4.2. This template is useful for beginning Java developers as Java 5.0 comes with the Scanner class which most introduction books rely on. Without this template, there is no easy way for beginning Java developers to use Xcode. (Version 1.0)		0

Fire	Feb 16 2006	YANOKWA Adium has the same built-in spellchecking that all OS X apps have. It can also speak the names of people signing on/off. (Version 1.5.6)		0

OSEx	Jan 28 2006	YANOKWA Is there a reason why I should use this instead of MacTheRipper? (Version 0.0110a1)		0

JLENNON314 osex is useful for programs like FFMpegX, because it can read the VOB files and extract audio, or video, and put those into whatever format you may want.

There are also some DVDs that you just cannot rip from using MacTheRipper. So sometimes, OSEx is the only thing you can use.

TONY AGUILA For a while now I had been using MacTheRipper because the latter has a "nicer" interface, more Mac-like. But now that I have purchased an iMac Core Duo, I find the MacTheRipper is failing miserably in ripping DVDs, while still working fine on my G5. So I tried my old copy of 0Sex and it works flawlessly under Rosetta. So if you are migrating over to the Mac-Intel camp, you will need this program.

I don't see a real need for a Universal version, and don't expect it to come out, ever. Ripping speed is the same under Rosetta compared to running native on the G5.

Fire	Jan 28 2006	YANOKWA Adium does the same spellchecking that Cocoa apps have. Right click on the text input box, and turn on Check Spelling As You Type. As to speaking, it would be pretty easy to do a plugin to speak all incoming and outgoing text, but I imagine that would get pretty annoying... (Version 1.5.5)		0

Yojimbo	Jan 24 2006	YANOKWA You'd think if the folks at BareBones had the time to write another app, they could add IMAP to Mailsmith... (Version 1.0)		0

UNO	Jan 10 2006	YANOKWA All that is fine, but why can't you combine the apps and have UNO apply both? Basically, put the functionality of iTuno into Uno. (Version 1.2)		0

PGRILO Yes, I'm doing that in the current beta. But, the main reason why iTuno is a separate installer is the constant changes in it's resources. Today iTunes update to 6.0.2 broke iTuno, and is already update, if it was bundled on the same download it would take some time longer, and people would be downloading unnecessary Mb..

But I can't think of a unified concept not to be one download, one install. So I think I will just do it.

Thanx

AppleJack	Jan 5 2006	YANOKWA Brilliant and easy to use software. It's an essential part of an OS X install. (Version 1.4.2)		0

UNO	Jan 1 2006	YANOKWA Exactly what I was looking for. This is great software and it really cleans up the look of most of my OS X apps. Any reason why iTuno and UNO are separate apps? (Version 1.2)		0

TIBERIUSOSX There is.

You see, for some reason (I don't know why), Apple created both iTunes and QuickTime with .rsrc files that are completely independent of the system .rsrc files. Therefore, changing these apps requires a different method of approach.

SafariBlock	Jan 1 2006	YANOKWA The developer's site is down. I have placed a copy here: http://www.anokwa.com/SafariBlock.zip Unzip the folder and place it in ~/Library/InputManagers (Version 1.14)		0

NEMESYS Thanks for the hosted version, but that's still 1.13, not 1.14...
