@ruby: from what I see, software you're referring to is a clone of video converter clones that started popping out on Windows platform years ago. Many names, different interface skins and limited functionality (dvd to avi, dvd to ipod, dvd to 3gpp, avi to dvd, avi to ipod, etc) for "only" $29... For these curious: check www.imtoo.com, www.xilisoft.com, www.pqdvd.com and try to spot differences.

These clones are based on ffmpeg/x264 libraries - exactly the same as Handbrake Lite uses, so could you please tell why do you think your software is better?

BEST. GAME. EVER.

No, seriously, I enjoy this one more than Q2, Q3 or anything else.

What I really love about this one is ability to switch between QuickTime and FFmpeg based decoding on the fly. Also, thanks - to direct FFmpeg support - it plays MKV files much more smoothly than QuickTime/Perian combo.

Neat.

Too bad the homepage is not english. Sounds interesting though, I'll give it a try.

The display of subtitles is very smooth. :)
NB: default encoding is Korean, I had to change it to western iso latin 1 so that special characters display properly for the video I tested.

0.5.1 Changes automatically translated from Korean are here.

Great App!

Just needs cropping feature for small window viewing.

Simply beautiful, this player. Highly configurable (I like having keyboard shortcuts for rewind/FF) and stable as well.

This is the ONLY program that will easily handle 5.1 digital surround sound through an optical cable.

If you plug in a digital optical cable, it will change your sound output on your computer automatically and prevents volume adjustment so that the signal is sent raw to a receiver. It even suppresses sound from other programs to prevent any contamination of the raw data.

Download Queue is a really sleek replacement for ugly and bloated download managers. Integrates well with Safari and Firefox.

I am looking no further.

Best companion to del.icio.us you can find. I can't use Internet properly without this one.

Day when I will see integration with remote services (like snipplr for example) would be the day when I will become their customer...

I like this tool. A nice feature would be a back-up functionality on a FTP, WebDAV server.

This App is, as far as I can tell, the only dedicated code snippet application with syntax highlighting. I purchased a license for this mainly because I wanted to road test it in real world scenarios. It works well but could be improved in several areas:

A more comprehensive syntax highlighting library is needed
A menu bar item for quick access to favorite code snippets

I like the fact that there is a services item to add to Code Collector Pro. This App is basic but does the job, with good search feature. I see a lot of potential for this application and would recommend it for anyone who needs a central place to collect their code.

At the moment I am using some other tools for time tracking and invoice management and I feel pretty happy with it. However, today I discovered Hourly and stable position of my current tools becomes questionable.

Hourly looks VERY interesting... I think someday (when it becomes stable and gets above 1.0) I might consider using it for real. I will keep eye on this baby.

I've tried out a number of other time tracking apps and while there are many great ones, I still haven't found one that I'm totally happy with. Still having a play with Hourly but my first impressions are positive.

I tried out Hourly up until my trial expired. I like it but the $67 USD price tag puts this out of reach for me. A pity really.
On another note, the developer was friendly and understanding when I emailed him to let him know my thoughts.

Edit: just noticed they're doing a promo so it's only $30 USD to buy now.
