Oh my. I like the “Shame on me” button. I think I’m going to go register my trial copy of WinRAR , which I’ve been “evaluating” for 8 years.
A commenter points out that in the full screencap you can see that the guy has an 8-core Mac Pro with 10 gigs of RAM. I think he can afford a $20 program!

Wow. That is such a guilt-trip tactic. Cool! If WinRAR will do that, I may end up following your lead on registering. LOL!
Transmit from Panic had a nice kind of reminder too. They said that you should register if you use Transmit regularly. So after a while of using it, a popup message came up: “Please register and get a better karma.” or “If you register today your will life long and wealthy.” etc.
That wasn’t pushing, that was kind and – worked for me. I’m a registered user since years and bought the update to version 3 too.
Thats great! Although I’d give the money to 7-zip instead of WinRar. :)
Services need our money to run only because of excess greed though. Zipping for example we should we have to pay to compress files. Thats ridiculous i mean i do a lot of research analysis and that means i need a lot of files and i’m poor cause of this stupid economy of ours why should I pay why should you the package things differently continously so we continue to buy for no reason, but fine i get it with compression software but anti-virus should be free and operate through grants why is everyone in the world stuck dealing with performance issues because certain ppl want to screw around its immoral more then half of them don’t even benefit from infecting files but they do it anyway so now we are stuck paying our hard earned money to keep ourselves safe from stupid cyber terrorists!
