It Won't Kill You
Figured I'd donate, wouldn't kill me, great site. I've got Process Tamer running, I had it on a previous machine as well, figured it was time I made a donation. I know running a site can get expensive, and writing code takes time. I always like supporting small businesses and individuals running sites when what they have to offer is of use to me.

Yet Another Closed Platform - Sound Familiar?

Screenshot - 3_23_2007 , 5_02_47 AM_thumb.png
Here is an interesting blog post warning programmers not to use Adobe's new Apollo Software Platform

Why would someone want to lock themselves into a proprietary, closed platform - like Apollo?
Unfortunately none of the (so-called) analyst, experts out there plugging Adobe - has brought this up yet. I’m not sure why they think that desktop based apps - connected to the Internet - are so new or different - or why locking yourself into an Adobe platform is smart, but both Scoble, Wilson and Arrington seem to love it.
