12/24/2004 12:09 PMMerry Christmas, Spymac!
Merry Christmas, Spymac!
12/25/2004 05:20 PMOn Spymac this Christmas,
Forums are littered with missed gifts,
Bamboozled, glossed-over wish lists
With iPod minis and iTrips.
For some, the tunes will be rocking,
For others, megahertz clocking
But what of all of those stockings
With neither socks nor a dock nor
The shocking bow-wrapped black box
With a Power Mac peeking out from
Under out of a bounty of wound-up frowns
Not an ounce of astoundment, wow or surprise
Decline in all shapes and sizes,
Stifled cries and replies
Of, “Oh, that’s not the right size?
Should it have been bigger?
White? Pink, blue or green?
Did you want the red click wheel
Or the new color screen?”
It seems the holiday spirit
Has gone the way of the Cube
It’s presents now that we care about
Instead of renewing
The vows
of tradition and family
and love we hold dear,
having replaced what were tidings
with an endless frontier
Of wrapping and ribbon
And piles of debt,
After two months of sweat
There’s no time for regret,
It’s Christmas, so let it
Be, lest we forget it,
If you got the wrong iPod
There’s always Apple Store credit.
Merry Christmas, from the Spymac News Team

Spymac speculation: the 5GB iPod
12/02/2003 03:04 AMWhen a company is leading a saturated market by several percentage
points with a $299 low-end model, most would say there’s little room
for improvement. With accolades galore, a corporation enjoying such a
position could indeed rest until the gap closes, only to scramble once
the competition catches on. Indeed… but those other companies don’t
have Steve Jobs as a CEO.

silent, leading to increased conjecture about the event: will Steve
Jobs recognize the Mac’s 20th anniversary with a special edition
machine? Will he continue San Francisco’s streak of stunning releases
by popping a G5 into the iMac and redesigning it to match the new
aluminum feel of Apple’s pro products? Will his turtleneck be red?

An open discussion about the future of
Spymac
An open discussion about the future of
Spymac
06/22/2005 01:54 AMLadies and gentlemen,
I want to take this opportunity to talk about some of the issues that
we've all noticed, and to let everyone know what we're doing about
them. We are also very interested in hearing the community's feedback
and ideas on the below points.
Harassment and the overall quality of content on Spymac
Spymac has always been intended to be a safe environment that serves
as a break from real-world stresses. As of late, there has been an
increase in harassing notes, abusive posts and all sorts of garbage
that, put simply, lessens the Spymac experience. We feel that our
greatest weakness (and cruelly, our greatest strength) is that Spymac
is an open community. Anyone with a unique e-mail address can
register for an account and enjoy or abuse our services and community.
If a member abuses his or her privileges, Spymac is able to ban that
account and its corresponding e-mail and IP address.
That is not enough. It is far too simple to get a new e-mail address
and register through a proxy or Internet cafe, for example, only to
return to wreak further havoc.
It's went relatively unnoticed, but the Spymac registration system has
been closed for more than a week. We are not accepting any new
accounts until we find a way to link more accountability to free
member accounts. This is challenging because we are an international
community with a diverse demographic. We don't want to make people pay
anything (such is the case if we use a verification service), and we
want to keep our doors open to the world-wide Internet community. We
also don't want to set a barrier that is too high for the majority of
valuable users interested in registering and enjoying a Spymac
account.
It is my belief that members will appreciate the new, safer and
cleaner Spymac. Clearly, there are countless other places on the
Internet where registration is completely anonymous.
We have a few processes we are working on that we feel are optimal for
our situation, and we are going to provide as many alternatives as
possible. It is this point especially that we are interested in
hearing your ideas and suggestions.
Let's talk about how we can create a safe environment without setting
the barrier too high.
Reliability and security
This is perhaps the area that we have to prove ourselves most in, and
we will. The situation we're facing is that we are upgrading our
cluster to utilize high-speed fiber channel technology. In conjunction
with additions to the redundancy and backup features of our cluster,
this upgrade will: Make Spymac community services fly, tremendously
increase the reliability of all free and paid services, and offer the
peace of mind needed to store important files with us. Truly, many
members have their entire life stored on Spymac — from blogs to
pictures to e-mail to web-pages — and it is our top priority to give
those users the speed and reliability they deserve. The upgrade has
been in progress for some time now. Without getting too technical, our
system needs custom programming work done before we can fully utilize
the upgrade. The programmers are working as fast as they can and we
will launch with the new technology very soon (before the arrival of
Spymac 4), but we are unable to speed up this process. All we can do
is ask for your continued support and patience in this area. Most of
you have been more-than-generous in this regard and we all thank you
for that. We will make it up to users who have stood with us through
this difficult transition, and we look forward to hearing your
comments on what we can do for you to show our appreciation.
A short note on security: This area had a few holes in the past that
we admittedly did not have the foresight to plan for. We had a
disturbing wake up call a few months ago and have since been planning
and working on an abundance of security features and precautions to
protect all of your data with Fort-Knox-level security (apologies for
being trite). The pendulum is now swinging in the right direction and
we want you all to know how important this issue is to us. Many of
the changes have already been implemented, and others will be added
with time.
Spam and e-mail
E-mail, e-mail... e-mail... For many of you, it's why you use Spymac;
Others come for the community services and couldn't care less about
it. The aforementioned hardware upgrade will fix the speed and
reliability, and Spymac is working with a leader in SPAM prevention to
cut-back on that garbage as much as possible. Again, actions speak
louder than words and we just ask for the opportunity to prove
ourselves in this area.
The future
Spymac 4 is a great thing and the whole team is busy at work to ensure
its arrival on August 31. It will bring many changes to the core of
Spymac and will ensure a bright future for our community and services.
We don't want to give away too many details at this point (we like
surprises, we know you do, too), but we will be pre-announcing some of
the new features sometime in August. In the mean time, we need some
help from members who would like to beta-test the new version, and
from skilled graphic artists who can work with us to complete this
huge undertaking. If you would like to volunteer to assist the Spymac
4 roll-out in one of these areas, please send me an e-mail
(atarist@spymac.com). You'll have to sign an NDA (non-disclosure
agreement), but your help is absolutely fundamental to a successful
release.

no doubt).

which saw updated PowerBooks, Airport Extreme and iLife. As I’ve said
