After 17 Years OS X Notifier App 'Growl' Retired

Growl is being retired after surviving for 17 years. Its page on GitHub explains: Growl is a notification system for OS X. Growl has been around since 2004, and was originally called Global Notifications Center.

Hudson H9, A Failure On Multiple Fronts – Review

Hudson H9, A Failure On Multiple Fronts U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- I want to be upfront before we dive into the Hudson H9 review.
