You know, if we just renamed ObjectBar to say MacBar or something and put it out there as freeware people would find that great.

But because there exists something that's even better than what is in the freely downloadable version, the ante seems to get raised.

The shareware version comes with XP classic and MacPC and aren't crippled in anyway. That's like 2 seperate programs for free. Full taskbar filtering, full system tray filtering, complete customization of those two bars, etc. This is all in the freely available shareware version mind you. If you play around with it, you'll find that you can do a LOT of things with it.

If the only thing ObjectBar did was what came with the shareware version except it had a nag screen, it would still be worth $20. Heck, if the only thing it did was let you do the Windows Start bar where you can manage your system tray and configure how the most frequently used apps are handled and provide personalized menus on XP, that would be worth $20.

Similarly, if the only thing it did was the Macintosh finder, a lot of people would find that worth $20. There's no other program available that can do the Mac finder bar as authentically as ObjectBar can do because of ObjectBar's advanced system tray handling.

Here's a link of a guided tour:

If it had a 30 day time out, then people would just write a crack to eliminate that timeout. As it stands, the final version won't even have the code able to handle other themes in the shareware so "cracking" it won't do anything it would require the outright theft of a full version.

Looks to me lilke we have a few people who deserve to be banned.

What's more interesting is that we have people trying to get cracks for software, right in front of one of the developers.

Do these guys walk into banks and try to rob them with the cops parked out in front ?

Talk about morons.

    • No more slip-ups: Teams will now ask you to hide sensitive info during screen sharing

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      No more slip-ups: Teams will now ask you to hide sensitive info during screen sharing by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is the company's flagship tool for online communication and collaboration, and it receives new features on a fairly regular basis. The company recently revealed all the new capabilities it introduced in the product during the month of July 2025. Now, Microsoft has introduced the general availability of an enhancement that is bound to please many of its customers. Microsoft has announced the general availability of sensitive content detection in Teams. As the name suggests, this capability automatically prevents customers from sharing sensitive content during screensharing sessions in Teams. This includes confidential data like credit card numbers, bank account numbers, social security numbers, passport numbers, taxpayer IDs, and similar identification details. Teams will automatically scan a shared screen and alert the user when they are sharing any of the aforementioned content types. This alerting mechanism will be twofold; it will notify the presenter and the organizer, and it will prompt the presenter to stop sharing their screen. Attendees will not be made aware of this process in any way. Sensitive content detection works on web, mobile, and desktop versions of Teams, but keep in mind that it requires a Teams Premium license. Those with access to it can enable it from meeting options, under Advanced protection > Detect sensitive content during screen sharing. This mechanism will work automatically in the background, but it won't proactively block your screensharing session, as it could cause unnecessary disruptions in case of a false positive. Microsoft wants the user to remain in control while this particular feature just acts as a "guardian angel" for your screen. This is arguably a very handy capability to have in your arsenal as it decreases the chances of customers accidentally sharing private information. This isn't Microsoft's only recent feature in the domain of screensharing. Just last week, it announced that Teams admins will be able to see telemetry data for screensharing in order to ensure compliance and detect if confidential information is being leaked to external personnel.
    • After Battlefield 6, Call of Duty makes Secure Boot, TPM mandatory on Windows 11/10

      By Ixion · Posted

      October 2014 TPM 2 was introduced, so unless you're running a 10 year old PC (which I doubt would run either of these two games) you're probably ok. CPUs which don't meet the requirements for Windows 11 will still meet the TPM 2 requirement such as my old 7th Gen Core i7 gaming laptop from 2017
