@Jim
I don’t get paid to write for TAB or to review applications. I do it because I like to, and because I love Apple.

There are FireFox extensions you can use, if you use Firefox. I have the eye dropper and ruler extensions, but they’re pretty basic and so stripped in their feature set I didn’t even see them as competition.

i totally forget about this app. I think i will give it a shot and see is it worth the dollars.

Thanks for the reminder, Brandon.

This is one of my all time favorite tools. And, I’m very happy to see it still works with Leopard.

It would be nice if they updated the Screen Overlay to show all modern browsers. It hasn’t seen an update in years.

Jim says: Aren’t you required to disclose information about receiving money for posting reviews?

I wasn’t aware that it was wrong to actually like a product. Disliking someone’s writing style is one thing. Accusing them of taking money to do a positive review is an entirely different beast that you should tread a bit more lightly with.

A lot of these features are available via free Firefox extensions!

Aren’t you required to disclose information about receiving money for posting reviews? Seriously either tell us that you’re getting paid to do this or don’t sound like such a robot.
