The vulnerability of Macs







The vulnerability of Macs

The vulnerability of Macs 12/11/2003 10:49 AM

Discussing what it calls a "significant hole," ABCnews asserts that a security issue affecting both Jaguar and Panther versions of OS X announced last month means that the "Mac OS is just as vulnerable as Microsoft Windows." While no operating system can claim to be perfectly secure, OS X and Unix variants in general are more secure than Windows by design, because Unix was created for a networked, multiple user environment, and Windows was created to operate on...

Conferences with Macs


Conferences with Macs 04/09/2004 04:08 PM

Three reasons Macs make excellent companions to geek-centric conferences:

  1. iChat and Rendezvous. iChat uses Rendezvous (aka zero configuration networking) to automatically display a list of all other iChat users on the same network as you. In a conference setting this can be a great way of seeing who's around - I met a couple of people at SxSW who I'd been hoping to run in to by co-ordinating a metting via iChat. A few panelists even used iChat to take questions during their panels. Here's a screenshot of iChat Rendezvous taken during SxSW.
  2. SubEthaEdit, which really has to be seen to be believed. I made a half hearted attempt to get a SubEthaEdit session going at SxSW but failed to achieve critical mass. Ted Leung at PyCon seems to have got it sussed.
  3. EtherPEG. This isn't as essential as the other two but can be a lot of fun - it's an ethical (as in it doesn't steal anything important) network sniffer which displays a selection of images currently being transferred across the network. It provides an often surreal insight in to the browsing habits of other conference goers.

I remember hearing Mac owners complain of being treated like second-class citizens. I haven't felt like that once in nearly three months of owning a Mac.

And You Thought Macs Were Overpriced...


And You Thought Macs Were Overpriced... 09/06/2004 11:15 PM

...how about a $4,200 Alienware 4.2GHz gaming machine? An article on C-Net has details about the overclocked and liquid-cooled Pentium 4 Area-51 ALX desktop, which looks like it belongs on Captain Proton's spaceship.

It could also be mistaken for a 1950's-era toaster. Somebody ought to fill Alienware in on the fact that good design costs no more than bad design. And producing professional looking hardware — like the Apple G5 PowerMac — is probably less expensive than all the cheesy plastic eye candy.

By rubbing the touch-pad on the lower lip of the Aurora, you can change the hue, brightness, or "animation" of the 'Pixcell' lights inside the translucent acrylic table. If you're already going to spend the $3,600 price for the table, though, you might as well add in the $300 wireless remote, as well.
