kevin_4e Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 With the release of Democracy 0.9.5, there is no reason not to give it a try. Bringing competition to some other favorites like VLC and Mplayer, this player takes it up a notch with many new Internet-integrated features... Make your favorite search engines accessible with Monocle, which allows users to search Google, Wikipedia, and other search engines through a simple menu bar icon... If you happen to have a toddler with a sharpie near your Power Book, take this guy's experience as a warning. Thank goodness for the invention of nail polish remover... Got an old G3 lying around? Take the incentive these guys did to throw it off a 45-foot cliff. What for? Who knows?... Looking for a way to keep full functionality of an iPod with a waterproof case... without the case? Take a look at SWIMAN's near 100% water-proof iPod Shuffle... Everybody, welcome back BonziBuddy! With "the return of the purple nightmare," go ahead and grab the BonziBuddy OSX widget... If you haven't ever seen the introduction of Steve Balmer into the music industry, take a look at his very own " " music video... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuka Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 democracy seems nice, but I dont want to have to download the videos to watch them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuro Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Are those... pit-stains under Balmer's arms? Geeze, there's barely one square inch of dry clothing on him. It apparently trickled down his flabby neck too, reaching his stomach. Excuse me while I lay down until my nausea subsides. I'm not even kidding. I just ate dinner, and I would like to keep it in my tummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Marvin Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Is it just me, or is Democracy REALLY slow and CPU heavy? Good concept, however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin_4e Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 It's not even 1.0 yet so hold your horses. It does seem to have a nice idea behind it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sHARD>> Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 It's not even 1.0 yet so hold your horses. It does seem to have a nice idea behind it all. No, it just sucks. Instead of providing a wealth of great alternative TV content, I instead find a wash of stuff crappier than anything on TV, which is pompus enough to think it's good content. Remember the first rule of user-content: 99% of it sucks ass, the key is finding the gems. The directory of content it provides is too small to have enough gems. Oh, and the ability to go out and add torrents of stuff that's not in their directory? Sucks ass too, because it's the worst torrenting app I've seen either. Remember, everyone doesn't want their cell phone to play MP3s until it actually *plays* MP3s, instead of doing a half-assed attempt at it. I don't want some magical alternative user content TV/bittorrent/RSS/blah blah blah super integration app until it also does something more than a half-assed attempt at integration.

kevin_4e Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 I was actually meaning that by 1.0 the CPU overload may be fixed, not that the entirety of the app will get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
