It had been almost 60 hours since we made software submissions and feared that they expunged them intentionally or by accident.  So we were obliged to contact MacUpdate.

We are disappointed to know that MacUpdate has chosen to make our last 2 software submissions disappear whatever the reason was as its competitor <strong>VersionTracker<\/strong> has never lost our submissions in the past.  Indeed, BookmarksX 1.7.5 and DVD2Browse 1.1.0 are listed at VersionTracker.<\/p>\n<p>So MacUpdate just makes our software submissions disappear like that?<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nRelated articles:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"?p=1495\">MacUpdate &#8211; Taking Software Submissions as Hostages<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"?p=1489\">Mac Developer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Guide: VersionTracker vs MacUpdate, Using BookmarksX<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"?p=1478\">Canadian Mac User Stalks MacHouse Over Little Disc+<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TOKYO (MacHouse) &#8211; More than 40 hours ago, we reported a hostage crisis at MacUpdate (www.macupdate.com) to which we submitted two updates of our software products, BookmarksX 1.7.5 and DVD2Browse 1.1.0.
