Two issues user need to be aware:

1. oovoo will automatically add itself into a user's Login items list while DELETE ALL other existing Login items in there!!

(After this happens to me, I go into the ooVoo preference to disable the "start ooVoo when OS start" option, but that certainly can't rescue all the login items disappeared from the list!!)

2. If someone like me and have the need to install this piece of software, the installation steps is not the same as we used to. If install directly into Application folder as most of us do, the following warnincg message appears "You can’t open the application “ooVoo.app” because it is not supported on this architecture."

Workaround according to Elliot Lee will be install to the Desktop first, and manually move the application back to the Application folder. (http://www.intelliot.com/blog/archives/2008/06/18/oovoo-not-supported-on-this-architecture/)

I just need to turn off my iMac screen. So now I use this key combination: control+shift+eject .

I've got my iMac in my bedroom and it's usually doing something as I'm going to sleep (music). This widget is simple and does exactly what I wanted.

Though tpalice noted that control+shift+eject works just the same!

Leopard-compatible app that sleeps the display instantly: Sleep Display Leopard

Just saw a beta testing is underway.... Really nice to know this!

This app currently doesn't support Leopard. People who are looking for this functionality can check out a widget called "Off" ( http://osx.iusethis.com/app/off )

The latest version conflicts with my Open Vanilla input method, so I get rid of this Control Center, and I go straight to "ControllerMate". And it's way better than this Logitech driver.

I had been using LCC for a couple of years since I got my iBook. It worked without problems for a while. Then It started adding multiple mice and keyboards when I unplugged and then plugged the keyboard/mouse. This required a restart. The tracking on the screen became very choppy for no particular reason. Then, for no reason that I truly understand, when I would disconnect the USB receiver, I would be presented that dreaded Kernel Panic. That was the end of that.

I immediately went for ControllerMate. I was able to customize all of my LX500's special keys. I have had no problems with it after a week of use.

And no more kernel panic errors or application enhancer.

If you were wondering why Growl just stopped working just remove this POS from your system. I am not sure this was causing the weird hangs I had sometimes since I installed Leopard but definitely removing it made Growl work again.

Trashed it when it discovered it hindered the functionality of my favourite app: TextMate.
I hear it also causes an endless list of other serious problems kernel panics etc.
Avoid whenever possible.
More people should send angry emails to the developers - just like I did.

Seems like the newest version (2.6) is working much better than previous versions. I have tried everything out there, and this is the only app that gives me the kind of scrolling I've come to expect with MX/VX mice.

With the old version (2.4) I've had some problems with different applications. Now the 2.6 is more stable and I have no problems anymore.

This may also need a tag "VNC"

Looks quite old and unmaintained, the homepage was modified last time April 29, 2005. However I haven't tried the application itself, so it might still be of some use.

And it is definetly not Universal Binary.

I use the free RealVNC server version on my PC and use the RealVNC viewer on my MAC. They worked perfectly. The viewer is not totally MAC friendly, but I love the compatibility and speed.

This usually comes with the Imation Disc Stakka. But I use this application without that piece of hardware. It's a great disk management utility by itself!

I suppose it might be good if you have the hardware. However BEWARE this grinds deep into the roots of OS X and has no uninstall software or documentation for mac. It is not a preference pane. It took me 10 minutes to download and discover I didn't like it and 30 minutes to get rid of it.

This is a great app from Nokia, and now it supports E70
