![]() But it is sometimes weird when something which used to be free now comes with a charge attached (with largely the same functionality) and we're compelled to pay in order to use it on a new OS. Of course the developer has a right to charge and earn money I don't begrudge this at all. Having no warning that this was coming, it caught me quite off guard and I am unsure whether I will pay for it on SL. It's not just charging an upgrade path on a major release or seeking to change it to a paying app in the middle of an OS release where those who used it for free can continue to do so and make the decision later on whether or not to stick around.Īn app (which I shall not name but which I used daily) recently went from free to pay in order to get the SL compatible version. ![]() I am just stating - admittedly for very selfish reasons - that it is nice to not have to pay for apps or utilities which had always been free and I have grown accustomed to using and like, when upgrading to a new OS. I don't disagree it is their right, prerogative, etc. It's not always the right choice (we've done private and public betas in the past), but we've been happy with the results this time. It has also let us keep some secrets about the release. We're VERY easy contact!Ĭlosed beta = Gives you direct contact with a smaller group of users. We also have a Twitter link in the footer and on other pages of our website. At idle I am reading about 60C on one CPU and 55C on the other. However, when I added it to my Mac Pro I am getting goofy CPU temp readings. One of my favorite apps on my Macs is iStat Menus for which I purchased a family pack. The contact section on our website has an email form and link to our Get Satisfaction page. I have a 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 with dual Xeon 2.66GHz. It means we'll release this week, all going well. Please keep in mind that our team is tiny, we have around 15 projects we're managing and iStat Menus is free (well, donation-ware). We're just finishing the app, much better documentation than we've ever had before, plus all the other things that go along with a release like this (web pages etc). I can give you some info about iStat Menus 2.0: It's in private testing now and there's close to 0 known issues. ![]() MSI Afterburner alternatives are mainly System Information Utilities but may also be Screen Recorders or Screenshot Capture Tools. Other great apps like MSI Afterburner are Stats, MangoHUD, GeForce Experience and iStat Menus. So please be a little patientSnow Leopard was only released 3 days ago. The best MSI Afterburner alternative is Open Hardware Monitor, which is both free and Open Source. An advanced Mac system monitor for your menu bar, with CPU, GPU, memory, network, disk usage, disk activity, temperatures, fans, battery info and more. IStat Menus 2.0 isn't just a Snow Leopard compatibility update, it's the biggest update iStat Menus has seen ever. We've been working on iStat Menus 2.0 for quite some time (yes, we have had access to the SL betas and have been using them for testing for months). Snow Leopard's release was about a month earlier than the rumours/speculation/initial comments made by Apple.
