Double Dragon III - The Sacred Stones
(NES) -- A Frustrated Game Review

Double Dragon III - The Sacred Stones
(NES) -- A Frustrated Game Review 07/24/2004 11:10 PM
Following in the proud tradition of Double Dragon and Double Dragon II, the third offering in the classic side scrolling beat-em-up series from Technos Japan hit the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990, the year that Iraq invaded Kuwait, Nelson Mandela was released from prison, the first ever WWW page was published and Cannibal Corpse released their seminal album Eaten Back to Life. For those familiar with the first two games, Double Dragon III will initially hold few surprises. The Supreme Black Shadow Sensei may be dead, but Billy and Jimmy Lee are back and their classic moves such as the whirlwind kick and the old "grabbing the bad guy by the hair and kneeing him repeatedly in the face" trick are ready and waiting. And yes, even the awkward "hit both buttons at the same time to jump" system has been carefully preserved.

"I weigh approximately 175 pounds

neither a dragon nor a pinata. […] You
should like words, science, and video
games. But you shouldn’t be ugly either.
Or male. Or a zombie dragon, powerful in
life, unstoppable in death. "

Macworld review: PocketMac Pro 3.3

Macworld review: PocketMac Pro 3.3 08/12/2004 03:14 PM
Last year, we reviewed PocketMac Pro 2.0, the first application that allowed PDAs running Microsoft's Windows-only PocketPC OS to interact with Macs. It didn't make a great impression. Installing and configuring the software was a long, fiddly process that was certain to leave you with a clear understanding of what phrases like "kernel panic" and "stress-related embolism" mean. The program also had a clumsy, amateurish interface, and it let you exploit only a fraction of your PocketPC's features.

Macworld review: Mac GEMS

Macworld review: Mac GEMS 11/06/2003 05:07 PM
I'm a big fan of Mac OS X, but I admit that there are a few things I miss about OS 9. The Internet control panel, for one, let you customize helper applications -- the utilities and apps that process URLs and files you're likely to encounter on the Web and in e-mail messages. OS X includes the same settings, but apart from letting you choose your e-mail client and Web browser, it doesn't give you a way to edit those settings. (Microsoft Internet Explorer does let you change some of them.)

Macworld review: Timbuktu Pro 7.0

Macworld review: Timbuktu Pro 7.0 06/10/2004 11:35 AM
Your friends, family, or coworkers are asking you for Mac help. They're snowbound and you're sipping a mai tai in Miami Beach, so you can't just swing by their home or office. Worse, they don't know an application menu from a folder, so you're not going to get far with verbal explanations. It's not long before you wish you could get your hands on their keyboard and mouse and see the screen. Netopia's Timbuktu Pro solves this very problem. Whether over a TCP/IP network or via a direct modem connection, you can assist a befuddled user or administer a remote Mac or PC server as though you were sitting in front of it. A mainstay of Mac tech support since 1988, Timbuktu now faces competition from Apple Remote Desktop and the free, open-source VNC. Timbuktu Pro 7.0 eschews aggressive enhancements, however, and stays the course with Panther compatibility and a handful of new features.

Macworld review: HomePod

Macworld review: HomePod 07/06/2004 04:44 PM
With its white plastic design and scroll wheel, Macsense's HomePod is inspired by Apple's iPod in more ways than its name. But the HomePod, an MP3 player that streams music over a network from your Mac, doesn't come close to matching the elegance and ease of use of the groundbreaking player it seeks to emulate.

Macworld review: Revolution 2.1

Macworld review: Revolution 2.1 01/28/2004 03:22 AM
HyperCard? That's dead, isn't it? Oh, sure, it was great back in the 1980s. So versatile it defies ready definition, HyperCard lets ordinary people create their own software without having to conform to the strict rules of a formal programming language. But the last time Apple updated it (1998), Macs were made out of vacuum tubes and corncobs. AppleScript Studio and RealBasic, while they're nowhere near as easy to learn and use, have stepped into HyperCard's role: the nonthreatening way to write software. But nonprogrammers everywhere can now rejoice: Revolution 2.1, a HyperCard-compatible development environment, has come along with enough power to wake the dead.

When Elgato Systems introduced the EyeTV two years ago, the company brought the benefits of digital-video recorders to the Mac. The new EyeTV 200 improves on the original USB model by offering better flexibility, higher-quality video, a remote control, and enough bandwidth to properly capture and display MPEG-2 video.

Macworld review: IPNetMonitorX 1.4

Macworld review: IPNetMonitorX 1.4 07/21/2004 06:33 PM
Sustainable Softworks' IPNetMonitorX 1.4 is an all-purpose tool for troubleshooting network connections. Built primarily for network administrators and power users, it provides a wealth of information about how your computer connects to the outside world. Many of IPNetMonitorX's 17 tools are freely available as part of OS X, and you can access them via Terminal or the Network Utility application. So why would you pay for IPNetMonitorX? Because it does a fine job of unifying these tools within a consistent user interface. It also offers capabilities that the free tools don't. And IPNetMonitorX augments existing OS X tools. OS X's Traceroute tool allows only one type of trace, UDP; IPNetMonitorX adds two more types -- ICMP and Record Route, which give you the flexibility necessary to get through firewalls. OS X's version of the Port Scan tool lets you conduct only TCP scans, but IPNetMonitorX lets you conduct TCP and UDP scans.

Macworld review: Retrospect 6.0

Macworld review: Retrospect 6.0 06/17/2004 01:19 PM
Everyone has a mission-critical application -- that one program they can't work without (Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Excel, or Apple's Final Cut Pro, for example). But backup programs are mission critical for all users, no matter how they earn a living. Dantz Development's Retrospect backup software, the most popular of this genre, performs full and incremental backups of local and networked Macs and saves data to a wide variety of storage devices. Many people waited to upgrade to Mac OS X until Retrospect 5.0 was available for the platform. And many people have also held off on upgrading their servers to Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), due to its incompatibilities with Retrospect 5.1. Retrospect 6.0 addresses those incompatibilities but otherwise offers only a few new features, which are aimed at people using Retrospect to back up very large amounts of data.

Macworld review: Suitcase X1

Macworld review: Suitcase X1 01/23/2004 05:26 PM
Managing your fonts can be as painful as getting your teeth cleaned. You do it only when you have to, and it's no fun. Just as you hope for a dentist who works quickly, efficiently, and gently, you want a font-management application that helps you find, group, preview, and access your fonts painlessly. Extensis's Suitcase X1 (pronounced eleven) has an improved windowpane interface that makes font management this easy. And it's quite fast in Classic, Jaguar, and Panther (Panther users will have to download a patch).

Apple's Soundtrack made its debut last June, as part of the massive video-editing bundle Final Cut Pro 4. But now the same Soundtrack software is available as a stand-alone product. This puts Soundtrack within reach of video editors, Web designers, and content providers who don't need the rest of the Final Cut Pro 4 package.

Macworld review: Mailsmith 2.0

Macworld review: Mailsmith 2.0 11/05/2003 06:03 PM
Contrary to what the folks cavorting in cargo-pants commercials might say, no single style is going to appeal to everyone. The fact that there are so many e-mail clients competing with Apple's free Mail app doesn't necessarily mean that Mail has limitations. No, that fact is evidence of a universal truth: All e-mail users are looking for the one shining feature that grabs their attention and sets their favorite e-mail application apart from the rest. The bling-bling of Bare Bones Software's e-mail program, Mailsmith, has always been the ability to automate all the drudgy, soul-sucking aspects of having a high-volume e-mail address. This legacy continues with the Mac OS X–only Mailsmith 2.0.

Macworld review: Font Doctor 6

Macworld review: Font Doctor 6 05/28/2004 05:04 PM
Font Doctor is a utility you don't ever want to have to use. But when your fonts act funky or when they're in disarray, then Font Doctor 6 becomes your best friend. It not only repairs corrupt fonts and organizes them into neat folders, but also converts Windows fonts into Mac fonts, and vice versa. Now with a faster and simpler interface, Font Doctor, which has been updated for Panther, is a great complement to full-featured font-activation programs such as Suitcase, which includes Font Doctor. The $20 upgrade price certainly makes upgrading worthwhile for current users.

Macworld review: ArtMatic Voyager 1.1

Macworld review: ArtMatic Voyager 1.1 08/03/2004 04:34 PM
U&I's landscape-generation application, ArtMatic Voyager 1.1.2, nearly caused me to miss my deadline. No, not because the program is difficult to understand or control -- a child could create breathtaking photo-realistic vistas with it. Voyager is just so much fun that hours evaporate as you happily tweak the scenery -- jumping from one location in a preset world to another, raising the altitude here, and making the water a bit more transparent there.

Macworld review: Digital Performer 4.1

Macworld review: Digital Performer 4.1 12/31/2003 03:34 PM
Digital Performer's friendly yet powerful interface will be familiar to veteran users, and it lets new users get right to work with minimal setup. The program shines when burdened with moderate-to-heavy workloads, and its new Freeze feature helps maximize the number of tracks you can work with. (Note that we tested with Jaguar, using Digital Performer 4.1, not with Panther using version 4.11.)

Macworld review: Final Draft 7

Macworld review: Final Draft 7 07/27/2004 04:41 PM
It can safely be argued that Final Draft is the industry-standard application for script writers. But while Final Draft 7 adds a few nice features to the program's repertoire, this buggy new version doesn't live up to its predecessors' good reputation.

Macworld review: Speed Download 2.3

Macworld review: Speed Download 2.3 06/22/2004 09:26 AM
For some people, Internet downloads are never fast enough. If you're one of them, you might be tempted by Speed Download 2.3.4, from YazSoft, which is supposed to accelerate the speed at which files download from the Internet. But in our tests, Speed Download did almost nothing to speed up downloads. And in some instances, files took longer to download with Speed Download than without it. Luckily, the program has other virtues.

Macworld review: Adobe Photoshop CS

Macworld review: Adobe Photoshop CS 01/22/2004 02:13 AM
At the core of Adobe's Creative Suite strategy is the unity, integration, and simultaneous release of its major design applications. Photoshop CS (version 8) is a broad and deep upgrade to the company's anchor image editor. Despite its low-key presentation -- its interface is almost the same as version 7's -- it has amazing new tools for Photoshop's traditional users. New features, subtly sprinkled throughout the program, dramatically enhance those users' capabilities and control over their images. Photographers, artists, graphic designers, Web designers, and video specialists will see significant improvements in their images and in the imaging process, but there's no burdensome learning curve.

To Prevent CD Burning

Music Labels To Use New Copy Protection
To Prevent CD Burning 06/02/2004 10:10 AM
As if anyone didn't see this one coming... The various music labels are now experimenting with new copy protection technology on (what they'd still like to call) CDs that would limit the number of times you could burn a copy of the CD. Basically, they'll now be spending more money (which will be passed on to consumers) to make sure the product you buy does less. Doesn't seem like the greatest of business strategies, but the industry isn't known for its longterm thinking. In the meantime, it will take less than a day for the real counterfeiters to get around this technology, and the only people who will actually be inconvenienced are people trying to burn a copy for fair use, who will suddenly find they can't do what is perfectly legal to do.
