Comment and replies on Audio Hijack Pro:
Great for recording audio from any application inside your computer or from any coreaudio external sound input.
+ scheduled recording options (handy for recording webradio)
+ record in mp3 or aiff formats
+ insert vst or audiounit plugins in the signal-chain.
Can be used to improve sound quality of downloaded music, although this does remove the DRM :-)
Totally awesome. I use it to record foreign radio stations for listening practice.
Essential if you listen to anything on your Mac. Worth every penny thousands of times over.
I used to use Ambrosia's WireTap, but this has so many more options, including the Karaoke filter I could previously only find in the (discontinued) app Audion. The interface is nicer, too.
Awesome scheduling features. I use it every morning to record the news before I get up. I sync up my iPod before I leave the house and listen on the subway. It's like TiVo for internet radio.
Really, really useful app. Wouldn't be without it.
This is a really useful app, great for grabbing bits of streaming audio, or scheduling live broadcasts. The Pro version allows you to set lots of stuff and do some processing with its support for plug-ins. The Skype capture with one channel for the sender and the other for the receiver is very useful.

I would love to see examples of how someone is really using this. I think with real examples it would make more sense to a noob like myself.
It is honestly great. I've tried some other mindmapping software, but this one is the first I've used to be very fast and intuitive - tab to make a child, enter to make a sibling. Very helpful for my studying.
Basically, you start with a main subject, and then sub-subjects branching out, and categories branching out from those, and categories branching out from those. Like this : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v188/PipsXD/mindmap.gif
Here's an example: a software mindmap I did for my new laptop (hey, I had to keep busy until it arrived).
Excellent tool: fast, stable, and really powerful

The TimeZone is not changeable. Get use to logging in a sending your coworkers emails with a Madagascar timezone.
So old.... But so useful. Hopefully they'll release a universal update soon.
Notoriously bad for copy pasting. Ctrl + C, Apple + V, and beachball is not an uncommon occurance, and probably happens for more than half of all attempts to copy paste. I would pay for a version that did not have this problem.
Like most here, using this out of necessity. Kudo's to someone who can point out a VNC-based replacement for this which is intuitive and easy to use.
Occasionally useful.
This is a "must have" application for me at work (Windows networking), however, it's horrible and desperately needs to be updated. I wish the Mac group at Microsoft would push this one out the door, really, really needs an update. You can only open on remote connection at a time, copy and paste is flaky, crashes often and at least 1 out of every 3 times when quitting pulls the "Application Not Responding" trick on me. I hate it but it's needed.
MICROSOFT PLEASE UPDATE THIS APPLICATION!!!!
Personally, I like this app. But there are alternatives now...I'm giving CoRD a try.
