Keeping up with the Latest (and Worst) Mac Software

Posted by pudge on from the not-my-software dept.

g_adams27 writes "Sure, VersionTracker will keep you up-to-date with the latest useful software, but where can you go to get the latest updates on absolutely horrific software? Fear not! PerversionTracker has got you covered, with updates on the latest (and most worthless) Mac software." The best one is a review of Nisus E-mail via interpretive dance.

    That's funny, I always thought /. was the best way to keep up with the worst software...

    Something about the task that guy has set himself was keeping me up last night. "OK first I have to turn my system into a clusterfuck of extensions by installing damn near every program that comes out...Daily. Then for the real pieces of crap I'll explore all of their non-existant and frustrating features. And only after this is all done I will then somehow put on my happy face and write a blisteringly funny review."
    I just couldnt do it......

      It is generally agreed that Opera for Windows is a great browser, while Opera for Mac is terrible. Which have you used?

      Opera on mac is shitty (and yes, it is) becasue its an obvious port. Among other things but the number one complaint: it just doesnt feel like a mac program (this is the Apple board, I dont have to explain what I mean by that). I also like it on Windows (I was an early Opera convert) and my sister jumped for joy when she found out is was coming to OSX but when we actually used it, bleh. A day later and she was done with it. It took me a week at most. At the time we went back to Omniweb and now are both content with Safari. Sorry Opera team, best of luck on that other platform.

    Imagine what one could do were this idea extended to Windows! Of course you would have the problem of reviewer suicide.

    Virgin Tracker?

    You mean the Slashdot user list?

    Yeah, that's the Slashdot user list.

  5. Spawn of VersionTracker by Such_a_geek · · Score: 5, Informative

    C|Net ran a little blurb about this the other day. (Scroll down). Interestingly, the site's founder used to work for VersionTracker itself. It must be nice to spit out a little bile after having to be objective about some of the crap that gets posted up there.

    Oh, and they are open to expanding onto other platforms: "I'm not much of a Windows guy," he said. "It's certainly possible if we got some contributors that were interested in highlighting the worst of Windows or Linux we might go there."
