Speed Download 2.3: Internet Utility
Fails To Boost Speed 06/21/2004 12:15 PM
If you need a download manager that centralizes your Internet downloads, lets you sort them, and facilitates file sharing, then you may benefit from Speed Download 2.3.4. But don't buy it if you want only to boost download speed. By Jackie Dove, Macworld (via MyAppleMenu)

Download of the week: Speed Download 2 12/07/2003 04:05 PM
After reading a forum post yesterday inquiring about DSL vs. cable download speeds (specifically Cox Cable), I though I’d write about one of OS X’s more underappreciated applications. Let’s face it. If you’re using OS X, you’re using the Internet; and if you’re using the Internet, you’re looking for one thing: speed. For most people, dial-up just doesn’t cut it anymore, and for some, cable speeds still aren’t enough. While Safari and Camino have taken care of many gripes about page...

Macworld review: Chartsmith 1.2 12/02/2003 10:20 PM
Whether you're explaining scientific research or discussing a PTA fundraiser, charts can help your audience quickly grasp complex numerical relationships. Chartsmith 1.2.3, from Blacksmith Technologies, lets you turn raw data into spiffy graphs, but a few interface quirks and frustrating documentation may sometimes slow your progress.

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: 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.

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: 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: 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.)

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: 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: 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).

Macworld review: Cleaning utilities

Macworld review: Cleaning utilities 01/17/2004 10:43 PM
Browser cache files, duplicate documents, and unneeded programs waste space, and Spring Cleaning 6.0 and Internet Cleanup 1.0, both from Aladdin Systems, offer ways to sort through your files and toss the trash. Spring Cleaning can find and remove almost any file, while Internet Cleanup specializes in removing browser-related files and blocking pop-up browser windows. These tools are handy starting points for cleaning up your machine, but be sure to study the file list before you press delete -- both programs occasionally target needed files.

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.

Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband
Router Easily Exploited

Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband
Router Easily Exploited 06/03/2004 01:35 PM

Heads up, ye owners of the popular Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router. Even if you disable remote administration, the router will still allow users sharing your WiFi network to access administration web pages. That's not the end of the world unless you haven't changed your admin password, which if you're like most of us, coddled by fire-and-forget technology, you probably haven't. If you aren't taking any more steps to secure your router, at least do yourself a favor and change the default password to something else, preferably not the name of a pet, child, or the lady down the hall you've been sleeping with that you think, hey, nobody knows about but really, seriously, we all totally know.

Update: Looks like it's not quite as bad as it could be, as the exploit only works if the built-in firewall has been disabled (it defaults to on). Still, wouldn't this be a great time to verify your settings?

Notebook Adapter, $20 Gift Certificate
for $88 08/04/2004 01:31 PM

Okay, this on is a little hard to follow, but it's worth it, so stick with me. Amazon has the Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G router (the one that runs Linux that you can flash with the magic firmware to make it do all sorts of interesting tricks) bundled with a Wireless-G notebook card for $108 (there's a "Better Together" link on the product page). If you buy both, you can use the $10 rebate on both to save $20, then go on to qualify for a $20 gift certificate on future Amazon shopping.

So basically you're getting a really nice, tinker-ready Wi-Fi router for $68 with free shipping. Not a bad deal at all, but if you still aren't seeing why this is a good deal, you probably wouldn't want one in the first place.

Tech consultant discovers that Linksys WRT54G allows remote, over-the-Internet administration login even when remote management is turned off: Because all broadband gateway vendors ship their equipment with default passwords like public or admin, this vulnerability is moderately critical according to the Secunia security consultants. An automated attack could scan millions of home broadband network addresses and feed them the WRT54G Web login sequence. With remote administrative access, the most that could happen is vandalism: the Linksys doesn't provide tools via its Web interface for packet sniffing, but someone could corrupt the setup and lock a user out by changing the password, requiring a hard reset. Also, Linksys' Web form appears to send the WEP or WPA password as hidden password text in a Web form, but that text is unencrypted in the HTML source, which can easily be viewed....
