utorrent on macosx !
Something that was long awaited is coming to Mac users - utorrent! If you download torrents then you know what a pain it was on mac. Now things are changing rapidly - currently i am using Transmission which runs natively on leopard. The program is ok, i have used it before in ubuntu, but it definately has some problems with high speed downloads. My favorite torrent client comes from windows - µTorrent. The development of mac version has been ongoing from quite a long time (2 years?), and users have been pretty eager to use the new version. The µTorrent were spammed with questions about when is the mac version going to come out, resulting in moderators locking every single topic that was concerned with the mac :) My advice - to pledge your support go to mac.utorrent.com and show the developer that you are interested! I download lots of torrents and cant wait till the stable release comes out, of and BTW a beta leaked out just recentely - grab it here!
Amarok on Mac OSX becomes reality
Yes this is true and i confirm it, after long time compiling and having end up compiling something which was totally unusable and ugly i finally got my hand on something which is 10000 time better then awesome -
Don’t you hate itunes?
Ok by now i can cay i am a pretty confident mac user, managed to compile some of my open source favorites, as well as got used to some of the mac substitutes for what i used till now. I even bought a mighty mouse to enhance my mac experience (to be honest i don't like the one button idea). But there is this one thing that drives me nuts, its called ITUNES !!! I literally hate this stupid piece of software! I used it the first time when i bought an ipod last year, and i thought it was pretty stupid but then my girlfriend took over the ipod and i didn't get to used it that much. Now that i have a mac i was brutally forced by apple to use their full of bullshit music player! Can't apple admit that people get their music from different sources then just their stupid store ? Screw the stupid DRMs :/ Now i thought this would be pretty simple - you dont like this software then you try something else, right? But for mac there is no something else ! I compiled amarok and used it for a while in X11 but it is unstable, sloooow, and there is no database support :( Well there is nothing left but waiting for the official mac port of amarok2.
