MacHeist Giving Tree Well, sometimes it’s good be a part of mailing lists, otherwise I would have missed on the great giveaway by MacHeist.

Hi! I signed up for this macheist thing and I received the email today. I clicked on the link and the download of iConquer started. Then the app asked for a key. I thought this was a gift, not a demo!
Can someone explain me better? Thanks!!!

Of course it’s a fully working copy, but you have to get a license from Kavasoft (for free). The license will be emailed to you automatically (if I remember correctly). It took about a day for me to get mine, so don’t be impatient, I guess they’ll have a lot of requests on their hands.

Enjoy the game :)

The only two that I was interested in are 1password and iConquer – but I have already bought both of them. But still a nice idea. ;)

I just wanted to write that it had escaped me that you are a fellow Mac user … considering the forum we both met the first time, that would probably have been the stupidest statement by me. Ever. 8O

Anyway, I am still trying to figure out how much advantage 1password offers over the auto completion of Safari and I didn’t even get around to the games yet (Enigmo is challenging me at level 4 so much that I am short of giving up).

The main reason I use 1password is that it syncs all the passwords to my iPhone and does auto-login for me on the little device, too.
Before using 1password I basically had one really good password I used at almost everything, so I had no problem remembering it. But you can be easily compromised using this technique – thanks to 1password I don’t care about remembering them and it also auto-generates them for me.
The idendity-central is also a very neat feature – there should be a screencast on their website, it made me buy the app, iirc. ;)
