My Dream App Winners Announced!

The votes are in folks, and the winners are Atmosphere, Portal, and Cookbook, with Portal beating out Hijack by only 5 votes. It looked like Hijack had Portal beaten, that is before the filtering of fraudulent votes. Fraudulent votes were defined as more than 50 votes for the same application originating from the same IP address. With a result this close, there are bound to be some sore feelings between winners and losers, but let's just try and remember it's not the end of the world, and life will go on. So did your preferred app make the cut? Let us know in the comments.

I am trying to create a depository of links having to do with Mac followers, who use image editing programs and Art software from Bryce, Photoshop, Aperture, Fractals to name a few.
Also of concern is color calibration and Mac utilities,software for improving your Mac experience.
My intent is to have this as a one stop shopping center to link up to everysite of interest. An index to your favorite sites. The only way this will improve is if I can get your help in keeping me uptodate on where the links are. JonL

I was a fan of "Blossom," myself (the dream app, not the TV show), but those are the breaks.

Hijack seemed incredibly popular. But there's no reason why somebody ELSE can't create it, right?

Pretty damn surprising results. Portal is the only one I think could be useful, and I certainly didn't vote for it.

Cookbook?? Its called a text file... check 'em out sometime.
Atmosphere? Come on now... aren't there widgets that do this?

How Hijack didn't make it I will never understand, and truthfully, it leads me to believe the voting methods are awfully suspect. Hijack just made sense. Cookbook is nonsense. In 'My Dream World' Blossom would have beat out Atmosphere in a heartbeat. Another useless app, but at least its an original idea.

if i gotten my family to vote for Hijack, hijack would have successfully hijacked the chef's recipe. mmm however, if they do ip filtering or MAC address filtering, it'll still be the same. sigh, we should have an international "social security number" for each and every one of us surfers.
if i gotten my other mac friends to cook, portal would be cooked in the other dimension i believe. however, it'll be quite difficult to fight with mother nature. Blossom couldn't blossom w/o mother nature's nurturing. Whistler, I guess whistling in the background is a good thing.

"What I like about Atmosphere is not that it can show what is outside my window at home, but that it can show me what it looks like outside my window at my cabin in Tahoe, too."

Perfect answer. Yes you can look through a window, but now you can look through a window several miles away. I think that this is really a pretty cool idea. My work and my home are far away enough that the weather is different between the two. And even if there ARE other apps that do the same thing, doesn't mean that atmosphere isn't going to do it better.

And I work in an office with no windows. I'd like to look through A window, even if it is fake.

Cookbook? ... over Hijack??
And that results is after filtering out fake votes???

The only thing cookbook would give me would be a place to copy and paste recipies from online (which I use VoodooPad for right now) and built in timers.

Hijack would actually save me time, and be incredibly useful to me.

...cookbook?

wow I just don't get it.

sorry for the rant, I just really was hoping Hijack would come-out.

"Yes, why should we leave the house, or even look out the window when we can have it as a desktop!!!"

What I like about Atmosphere is not that it can show what is outside my window at home, but that it can show me what it looks like outside my window at my cabin in Tahoe, too.
