Inquisitor
Normally, if I came across a piece of software as interesting as Inquisitor for OSX, I'd be telling everyone about it. The interesting thing is the speed, and the live updates while searching really do help.
But it's really pretty lame, there are free downloads (betas!) which are fine, but the damn things time out after a week or so, at which the old one refuses to work and you have to stop everything to go catch the new one.
The first annoying part for me was that I'd saved it, and hasn't installed it yet as I hadn't gotten the time to play with it... so my first greeting upon opening it is a message saying it's expired that day and I have to go download the new version.
The biggest annoyance was that it just hangs out with a download button, and won't let you quit. You can't quit from the dock, you can't even quit from the menu item. So my first experience with this soon-to-be-shareware product is that upon first launch I have to force quit it because I don't want to download something.
I have to imagine he is just trying to get people hooked and it's going to be released as shareware, but really, developers, this kind of thing is sooooooooo stupid.
