This is an great app for securely (AES-256 encryption) backing up your files online with with the great Amazon S3 service. S3 is very cheap too at only 15 cents/GB/month.
Needs more tags like: backup, online, etc

Comments and replies on MpcPgmMaker:
This program doesn't load PGM files from an MPC2000 properly. The interface is brutal and it's definitely not worth the 20$.
Comments and replies on Xfile:
Xfile is super quick which I like but I find it very unapproachable. For instance, by default it shows all the invisible files in every folder. There is way too many icons in the top bar also. A few with the option of adding more would be better. Also having to install the *.framework file myself is lame when there should be a installer package. The fact that theres a bunch of applications in the folder after I unzip it OTHER than the Xfile app is not intuitive when they should all be integrated into one app.
Then again, maybe I'm not the target market for an app like this. Yes, it's light on resources and it's super quick which is great but I don't think enough is hidden from the user and the lightness of the app (Xfile) gets overlooked IMO when 3 or 4 other apps convolute the whole process of using a Finder-replacement.

This is Leopard-only for those that didn't read the top description.
Man, this thing needs two key-commands: bring to front, and add new action. Also, need to be able to right-click to edit tasks in-line, without resorting to iCal.
Otherwise, minimalistic, clean and beautiful. I like.
I want to love it, but unfortunately find it unusable. I need to be able to manually sort items, so if I have a list of 10 things I can drag the order around (see SimpleTodo2). At least allow the sorting options in iCal (by priority, etc). Also, editing directly in the app is needed. Switching back to iCal is kludgey.
Comments and replies on Firefox:
I would use Firefox on my Mac IF it was as fast or faster than Safari. Unfortunately it isn't and takes a long time to start up.
To enable "disabled" plugins in Minefield (Firefox 3.0b), install a the plugin "Nightly Tester Tools." Afterwards, go to your AddOn tab and click on Extensions, then click on the "Make all compatible" button on the bottom right-hand corner. Also, click on the Preferences button on the Nightly Tester Tool addon, then select "Add-ons", then disable add-on compatibility checking. Restart Firefox and enjoy.

Just installed the minefield pre-release. The interface is VERY slick, and they were nice enough to name the app something other than Firefox (MineField) so that you can just close it and open up your old version if needed. So you aren't locked into the upgrade to the beta
I can't resist posting a tips about this superior Firefox skin (working fine in Firefox 3.0b5+):

Firefox is slower than Camino. Use Camino is it 10 times faster than firefox and doesn't take long time starting up.
Enjoy!!
Firefox is amazing. Safari is cool, but the power of Add-ons gives Firefox the edge over all other browsers. Plus, you can use it on almost any OS. Very useful when running 3.
Firefox is in fact my favourite browser because of the add-ons, but it crashes all the time. So for the most part use Safari and Opera.
Only thing keeping me away from using this as my main browser, is the ages it takes to start the app.
+1 on that grapple theme, works with the new release candidate also!
Great for web development and gimmicks, but for day-to-day browsing Safari is faster and integrates with the Apple Keychain.

I really wanted to like this app since the feature-set is good but every time I try using it, I see how it's still much slower to refresh than the Finder when navigating folders and previewing files. Should be lighting-fast if it's so much better than the Finder.
