George Howard: We don't have an ETA, no - it's simply as soon as possible. We're hard at work on the updates, and when they'e ready, they'll ship. We want them out there more than anyone, but we can't release until they're ready. At this point, if our software is critical for you, sticking with Mac OS X 10.5 is the way to go.

You don't need to keep checking for updates either - just put this weblog in your RSS reader, and you'll be notified when a post goes up detailing our updates.

As you've seen, Safari is one of the sticking points. Using an alternate browser for web-based audio is a good workaround for now.

Taylor: As we've noted in multiple places, Audio Hijack Pro is not yet compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). We're hard at work on an update.

Tollie Williams: As noted above, we have no ETA, no. We're working on it, and when it's ready, it'll ship.

As far as Fission goes, if it's not worth it for you, that's just fine. Many (many) customers find it worth well more than the price. Audacity does do some things Fission doesn't (and won't), but it certainly doesn't do lossless editing of MP3 and AAC, and the interface is...let's say, muddled. If it works for you, that's just fine - you're not required to buy all of our products! :) But the price is $32, and we have no plans to change that.

Wordpress itself, which powers this blog, enables automatic comment closing after various time periods. That's all we're using.
