Is there a way for the Character Builder to handle player-created and -edited powers?

Is there any word on whether or not a Mac-friendly version of the Character Builder will be made available??

The Character Builder user tips said something about "Show Panel Buttons" but then I've never seen an option for that in any dropdown menu. When I asked customer service about it, they said that there's no way to customize power cards other than by showing what weapons they use. So my question is, who's the yahoo who thought there was a Show Panel Buttons option? Is that a feature currently being worked on that they just hadn't put into the previous installation? Currently waiting for the server to go back online so I can get the latest update-I'll be pretty happy myself if the panel buttons actually exist this time around. If not, hopefully the user tips'll be modified-I feel like they're taunting me.
Let's hope that this insipid question of mine draws attention away from the inferno rage of mac users.

I just recently switched from a Mac to a PC, and promptly downloaded and installed the character builder. I'm loving it so far, but I've started noticing that some of the feats and powers introduced in Dragon magazine articles aren't included in the lists on the character builder. I just installed the program this past weekend and downloaded last month's update as soon as i could. I know the next update is supposed to be released next week, but I'm curious - are the all the options introduced in the two magazines included in the character builder updates?

the dragon/dungeon content always makes it into the builder, but it's often delayed by a month or two.

Come to think of it, is there some problem with the Radiant One epic destiny? The 26th level power is still in the builder, but last time I tried to build a character with said destiny, it wasn't in the list-not even after I used "Show Illegal Elements."
'course, I tend to stray a bit away from Dragon Magazine content, as it tends to be immune to the wrathful hand that is errata.

I'd like to be able to create items and have them reflected on the character sheet stats. For example I had my PC's find a bear skin rug in one of the dungeon delves adventures. It granted a +2 to all defenses while they stood on it. The PCs decided they wanted to take the rug and have it made into Bearskin Boots that would give them a bonus to their defense. I thought sure, why the heck not.
Anyway, I added a pair of boots to the character's items and tried to "customize" it, but all I can do is change the name and add notes. There is no way for the item to have attributes added to it and reflected throughout the character sheet. I want it to add the +2 to all defenses as a misc +2 bonus.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but if there is no way to do this this is an tool that would be great to have as a DM.
Let me know what you guys think or what the deal is with custom items.

Really, I'm not sure why the builder has yet to implement some basic "Building blocks" for that sort of thing. DnD's game rules are already basically a programming language in themselves (definitions for item bonuses, feat bonuses, power bonuses, etc), it seems like you'd be able to use an app that could create fairly basic traits for items... I don't know. I guess it's not high priority. Oh well.

Hi all. How about moving this to a full web based app so those of us not running windows can play? Would make distribution a bit easier too.

Wouldn't that require an internet connection to use? I like to use the builder on my laptop so I can develop characters while in the car or on the road and otherwise without internet.
