I really like Unsanity's WindowShade X and Labels X haxies which I began using with Tiger and also installed last December on a Snow Leopard machine. I have not had any trouble with them on either system. Checking the Internet, I can't find any info about whether or not they work in Lion, which I have not yet upgraded to. Anyone else dealing with or interested in this issue?
The UK is the nation with the most surveillance of it's citizens. Cameras at nearly every roadway intersection.
The UK has become what George Orwell wrote about in his prophetic novel 1984. The rest of Europe and America is not far behind
Yes people are going to jail what what they post online.
34,000 results from a Google search of people in the Uk going to jail because of what they post.
Oxcart, lol, what are you, the developer's brother or something?
The guy is a crook, it's not opinion but fact that he stole from his customer base. Period.
Dude should have criminal actions pending against him, in my opinion.
And if you have more "sympathy" for this slimeball than the people he conned, I don't know what to tell you. Again, I've never met a developer who had more contempt for his user base than this jerk.
Karma's a &itch, and it will soon smack him upside the head. And it will be well and truly deserved.
Them thar's fightin words MichaelLAX. Maybe you should read how long it took them to finally charge Abu Hamza with offences under the Terrorism Act in the UK after his tirades of hatred against the UK and her majesty. And... ever heard of Speaker's Corner?
Don't get me wrong, freedom of speech is a good thing "within sensible boundaries." But just because you can, does not mean you should and discretion should always be the greater part of valour.
Methinks this freedom of speech thing can be taken a tad too far quite often. Ever tried it at work with your boss? Something tells me you might not have a job for long as even with the company for whom I worked for 15 years here in the US, one could be fired for insubordiation. Seems like an oxymoron to me.
Anyway... seems we have strayed off the topic entirely and so as they say in America "I'm outta here!" Would not want to be banned from the Apple website for my freedom of speech. 🙂
Cheers

Old news. Get a life. Haxies are a desperate plea for the aincent OXs. Get up to speed.

WOW: Sounds like the UK needs to enact a Freedom of Speech Act!
Could you post a couple of links to such situations? Sounds like a flagrant abuse of human rights, and I would be shocked to discover that what you say (being imprisoned for internet postings) is true!
Of course there is freedom of speach, but no freedom to racially abuse somone.

Regarding my earlier piont about the potential for slander. The Russian may be beyond the reach of the law, but should he engage a USA lawyer on a no win no fee basis, one might find oneself on the end of a law suit. You know how these things work... if you own a house they take it and leave you with the mortgage if you have one. If you did receive one, how much would you pay to settle there and then and make it go away? Even if the guy is a crook it is up to you to prove it. Can you do it? How much would it cost?
Nothing you post online ever goes away. Facebook has a large archive and only needs to wait till a generation grows up and some of the people who posted when they were children become Hollywood stars or the president, or a state senator, etc etc etc.
Let me see... In your preface in response to a posted complaint about the reason for poor customer service and potential misappropriation and fraud, you warn the poster about incidences in the UK of internet posts that lead to imprisonment for Hate Crimes and Death Threats???

Unless you live in Russia too, you better be careful what you write. People here in the UK are going to jail because of what they post on internet forums, and what you wrote sounds to me like grounds for a civil case.
Can there be no civility or proportionality in the use of analogies?

BTW: Most of us who took U.S. Civics in high school will remember that Freedom of Speech derives from the First Amendment to our Constitution and only protects us from governmental action - "Congress shall make no law..."

Yes I know they have that disclaimer on their website, but I also think they must have had an inkling as to what was up with Apple and their upgrades and if they could not keep up they should have taken the product off the market. Just one small voice crying in the wilderness.
It is a fact of life that software is only guaranteed to work for the specified operating system. And operating systems keep updating. And many companies can't keep up despite the best intentions. And programmers get old too. For example, Quickeys got stuck with incompatibility when its primary programmer died. Spell Catcher ended development and was incompatible with Mac OS X Mountain Lion when its author died. PageSender stopped development years ago when its company decided to stop development. But at least they keep it available for olders operating systems and give the disclaimer that it isn't supported past Mac OS X 10.6.
Unsanity did have the disclaimer on their website that it was not compatible with the latest Mac OS X.
However, it is still useful to keep on the market for those people who run older versions of Mac OS X which are compatible with their software.

Will do - but will keep checking here and of course searching myself to see if anyone does come out with a similar product. As a conceptual artist it was wonderful being able to keep my projects easily visible with the coloured folders and since it was so successful at what it did, I would think that someone else would be able to come up with something similar and which I would happily pay for.
You can use Pathfinder to replace the Finder and get colored folders back again.
To KathrynG:
Perhaps you missed my earlier posting: There is a similar product out called Windowmizer. I may have spelled it wrong before. It supposedly is in the apple app store. I did find it from the developer site and I ordered it from the developer sit. It is pretty good. It is not a hoax so in a way it has to be open all the time to work, but it does work.Here are a couple places on google. Apparently the developer is working on perfecting and will come out with updates soon according to a poster on another board (maybe this one, can't remember) where I heard about this. I bought it because I was so tired of Unsanity wasting my time and money. Meanwhile I had gotten used to using mission control but it really didn't do what window shade did. So far I like the new Windowmizer.

I do know that a while back Unsanity asked for pre-orders on Haxies for Lion...
I paid and have heard nothing since.
This is fraud.
In fact, they are still making the following offer on their web site, which I copy and paste:
*****************
OCT 8, 2011
From now until the end of December 1st, 2011, we are giving everyone a 45% discount on all our software. Supplies will not run out.
Just use coupon code LION-PREPARE when checking out. Final discounted price is shown right before purchase. Do not combine with lower discounts.
****************************
I don't know if this is what you are refering to. However, it does seem misleading to call the coupon 'lion prepare' even though it says nothing specific about lioin. Not exactly fraud but one could certainly be misled.
From the little I know about sandboxing, it seems hightly unlikely that they will be able to offer the haxie for ML. But you never know... a delay of a year is par for the course for Unsanity. Perhaps the name is apt.
Stephen, unable to reply to your old post re Eudora so I'm taking this round about way. I am wondering what you finally did to overcome queueing problems with mail. I do a newsletter for 2000 folks and my ISP will only allow 100 addresses/message and only 500/hour....so I que with hour delay between and then let computer do the rest....I'm staying with Lepoard only because Eudora will not work at all past that.
I personally do not have any experience with WindowShade, but here is one user that has found a solution to continue its use in the post-Snow Leopard world:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16317317&postcount=309
Sheepshaver emulates os9.2 in a window, so its not really a solution unless you want to do all your computing on an outdated OS. Neither is it very stable, and you need copies of all the old programs. Imagine going back to Word 4.0 🙂. I occasionally use it but it has to be a real emergency involving an archival file. Its a lot of fun to see how fast os9.2 runs on modern computers. In many ways 9.2 was the acme of operating system development. But time and tide waits for no man.
You can of course, use parallels to emulate Snow Leopard seamlessly on Lion. That way you keep the haxie.
Is anyone able to use Unsanity haxies with Lion?
