I also decided to give it a try and I'm liking it. Had a chance to contact the developer and I'm very pleased with the level of support he's providing. Very cool game and I highly recommend it.
What a buch of losers! Honestly, why do you think you have the right to benefit from other people's work for free???? I don't get that. Don't you have a job that pays for your work? It's the same principle.
I for one don't mind paying for the app. I don't think helping the developers to improve the app a bad use of 5 bucks. I thought the functionality we were getting for free was amazing. I always donate to free software as well when I find the application useful. I don't believe people should work for free, especially when it's such a useful and well done job.
Rather than dump them, make them switch to an all Mac goodness. That's what I did with my loved one and friends. Unless, of course, this is just one excuse to dump the person.
If your backup gets corrupted, then there isn't much iTunes can do to help you with that. That goes for any kinds of backups.
Front Row sucks. Plex rocks!!!! Plex is everything Front Row should have been. Front Row has issues playing pretty much anything.

Give Plex a try. You will never look back.
The same goes with software you buy at a retailer. If it doesn't meet your expectations then too bad, so sad, you're out of luck and they will not refund your money either.

I don't get why people's expectations for how sales of online software should be handled is different than the reality in the brick and mortar world.
I'm a happy owner of a DroboPro and other than the fact they're slow to upgrade their software I'm really happy with the product.

Currently, if I install their Dashboard software on Snow Leopard I start getting all sorts of issues with accessing the DroboPro. They haven't released an update yet and I'm not sure I trust their software to start using it once they release a SL compatible Dashboard. Right now it fails to load the iSCSI extension (I'm running the 32-bit kernel, so it shouldn't be an issue) and I start getting errors when trying to copy stuff off the Drobo.

If I don't use their Dashboard software everything works perfectly well in SL and I haven't had a single issue with it.

I agree with Microdot as far as proprietary solutions go. If my DroboPro crashes I have no way to access my data. Data Robotics should provide users with a tool to access the data in the hard drives in the case of a hardware failure.
I route all my different email accounts through GMail and I rarely get any spam. Works great for me.
Like MacMarine said, you don't need to option-click anything. Just clicking does the trick in most applications, not just the Calculator.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
