Episode 52 / August 9, 2007
This weeks brings us a deviation from the usual as our intrepid hosts bring us anti-picks: the apps baked into OS X they hate the most. The move was encouraged by the inimitable Merlin Mann who asked the others, “What’s the crappiest application that ships on a Mac?” Andy Ihnatko shoots down NetInfo Manager, an app I didn’t even know I had, and takes the nerdiest picker award. Leo Laporte doesn’t like iPhoto because it’s slow and doesn’t have all the features he’d like to see. Scott Bourne reaches for Digital Color Meter because it’s 8 bit, but I agree with Leo that it’s very useful for web design. Alex Lindsay hates Stickies. Finally, Merlin declares his lovehate for iCal. I feel his pain. It’s a rigid app and the fact that there’s so much potential makes it doubly painful.
