Macs Safe but Not So Secure
Cnet
News.com's Tom Krazit reports:
"The scalp of Mac OS X has been waved trophy-like after being hacked
in controlled environments, yet security researchers are hard pressed
remembering the last time a Mac was compromised in the wild.
"Macs, according to most security experts and analysts, remain a
safe computing option, however safe does not mean secure - its
software, like software for PCs, is written by humans and contain
flaws, which are technically exploitable."

IBM Offering Macs to Some Workers Using
Windows
InformationWeek's Antone Gonsalves reports:
"IBM on Wednesday said it's testing the use of Apple Macs within its
research labs as part of the company's strategy of offering employees
more than just Windows PCs.
"About 100 researchers are using Mac computers in a small pilot
program, an IBM spokeswoman said in an e-mail. The project, however,
does not reflect a major strategy shift toward Apple inside IBM....
"Of the 22 testers who provided feedback, 18 said that compared with
their previous computers, the Mac notebooks offered a 'better or best
experience.'"

Another One Bites the Dust: Hard Drive Failure
MyMac's Rich
Lefko says:
"Regular readers of my articles know that I am the back up king. I
lost my main drive a while back and I will never let that happen
to me again.
"At the time, I was backing up, and cloning my main drive, but had
gotten lazy and had not run the back up in several weeks. Nowadays I
back up my main hard drive (HD) to four external drives. Overkill?
Probably, but I feel secure. I'm about to add a fifth backup that will
be offsite just in case disaster hits my house.
"My main HD has all of my music, photos, the files that make up my
website, business information etc. If I lose that drive, it will take
me years to re-create some of the items, while others are
irreplaceable. Think about what is on your main HD....
"Remember, its not 'IF' your hard drive will fail, its 'WHEN.'"

24" iMac 'Makes a Strong Showing'
Tom's
Hardware's Benjamin Kraft reports:
"The iMac has had
a firm place in Apple's product line ever since its introduction in 1998. This is
hardly surprising considering that many credit it with practically
saving the company and helping it re-emerge on the stage. Each of the
iMac's generations came with its own characteristic design that may not
have been everyone's cup of tea but certainly influenced other
companies' design efforts in one way or another. Thus Apple's
all-in-one consumer system quickly secured its spot in the limelight
and shows no sign of relinquishing it any time soon....
"Apple tends to polarise its audience. People tend to either fall in
love with its designs or reject them. Either way, the iMac certainly
has the 'Wow-factor' on its side. It's hard to imagine that
full-fledged a PC could be this thin, especially after having looked at
the list of components the slim enclosure houses. Although it sounds
like an overused cliché (not to mention an advertisement) by
now, iMac owners should get used to the question 'But where's the
computer?'"

24" iMac - All-in-One with OS Options
iMac vs. Gateway One
Popular Mechanics' Glenn Derene reports:
"We all know the stereotypes. Apple's popular commercials have
painted the picture in stark terms: There are two types of people, Mac
people and PC people. And if the marketing is to be believed, the
former is a hip, sport-coat-and-sneakers-wearing type of guy who uses
his computer for video chatting, music mash-ups and other cool,
creative pursuits that starchy, business-suited PC users could never
really appreciate unless they tried them on the slick Apple interface.
Then again, Windows PC enthusiasts probably think that Mac guy is a
smug slacker with an overpriced toy that can't do any serious computing
anyway. Funny thing is, both stereotypes are wrong. With a 7.5 percent
market share, Macs are no longer just the computer choice of artists
and unemployed writers. (Apple is, in fact, the fourth largest computer
manufacturer in the world.) And now, more than ever, the guts of both
platforms are remarkably similar. Both types of machines use Intel
processors (although some PCs can be configured with processors from
AMD). Both buy memory, hard drives and graphics cards from the same
small pool of suppliers. The underlying operating systems have
distinctly different flavors, but in terms of functionality, Microsoft
Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard have surprisingly similar built-in
multimedia, Internet and productivity applications....
"Usability surveys are like taste tests - a useful look at the
subjective appeal of a device. (Is it fun? Is it easy? Would I be happy
to live with this thing?) But beneath their packaging, computers are
data-crunching machines that can be run like racehorses. So the second
component of our test regimen was about pure performance....
"In both the laptop and desktop showdowns, Apple's computers were
the winners."

Unlocking Your Apple Devices
PR: When you get a new Macintosh computer, iPhone, or iPod,
the device comes preconfigured in the way Apple feels will be the most
useful to the greatest number of their customers. But what if you want
your exciting new gear to conform to your wishes and requirements
rather than Apple's preferences?
If
you long to individualize your gadgets and make them your own, just
consult the latest release from the folks who bring you Make magazine -
"The Big Book of Apple Hacks" (O'Reilly, $34.99). Bigger in size,
longer in length, and broader in scope, author Chris Seibold's new
collection of tips, tricks, and hacks helps you to get the most out of
Mac OS X, your iPhone, the new line of iPods, and Apple TV.
Into the weather? With a few tools Seibold shows you how you can
turn your Mac into a weather-monitoring beast. Got an old MacBook?

people have had when using their Apple products," says Seibold. With
wit and style, Seibold takes you under the hood with complete and
clearly illustrated step-by-step instructions to help you personalize
your stuff.
"One of my favorite hacks is from a contributor (Rich Lefko). After
he left a job he wanted to keep his work data (he used a PC at work)
without having to buy a Windows PC. Rich's hack was brilliant. He
discovered a way to swap out the hard drive of the MacBook and install
the hard drive from work and boot into Windows. So now, on the rare
occasions he wants a Windows machine, he just switches out the drive in
his MacBook."
Indeed, by tinkering in ways Apple never envisioned, you'll learn
how to:

XRackPro Server Rack Models Updated with Air
Filtration
PR: GizMac Accessories, a leading manufacturer of noise
reducing equipment racks for rackmount servers, RAID systems and
audio/video equipment, is now shipping the smaller capacities of
XRackPro server racks with air filtration.
4U and 6U models of XRackPro2 server racks now feature an air
filtration system in addition to reducing noise. The air filtration
provides cleaner air into the server rack enclosure and ultimately into
computer and other electronic equipment located inside. The controlled
airflow of the XRackPro2 server rack aids cooling, improves noise
reduction and allows for an air filtering system to function.
"Our smaller server racks may be two of the best values on the
market for a limited amount of equipment," says Ken Vitto, Director of
Marketing for GizMac Accessories. "With noise reduction, key lockable
doors and now air filtration standard, 4U and 6U XRackPro2 server racks
have a lot to offer."
Air filters used in the XRackPro2 computer racks are custom made and
particularly suited for this application. The pleated design of the
filter provides greater surface area for trapping more particles while
allowing superior air circulation. The custom air filters are
reinforced with a metal grid to prevent collapsing due to the high
airflow volume created by the XRackPro rack cooling fans.
The noise reduction feature of the XRackPro2 is perfect in post
production facilities for film, video and audio editing; television,
cable and radio broadcasting stations; business and medical offices,
schools or any other environment that requires low noise. With the air
filtering system addition, the XRackPro2 server rack is also a much
needed solution for environments with higher than usual levels of dust
and other air born particulates.
XRackPro2 4U and 6U server rack models with the new air filtration
system are available now; US retail prices are $549.99 and $749.99
respectively. The XRackPro2 noise reducing server rack can be obtained
from authorized domestic and international resellers and distributors
or purchased directly from the XRackPro website and by calling the
corporate headquarters at (800) 475-1677.

FirmTek SeriTek/SpyderHUB: Boot from
External SATA and Share Data with Any Computer
PR: FirmTek provides versatile, cutting-edge, SATA enclosures
and host adapters for computer users looking for high performance data
storage solutions. These SATA enclosures provide extremely high data
transfer rates with JBOD or RAID configurations. The only issue holding
back the adoption of SATA enclosures with all computers has been that
many models do not provide the ability to add SATA host adapters.
The SeriTek/SpyderHUB Changes Everything
This ultra small, four-ounce device is a great travel mate for
computer users that want to have the ability to connect to external
eSATA hard drives. Imagine MacBook "Air" on the road with the
capability to attach up to two eSATA hard drives at a remote location.
Computer labs wanting access to eSATA enclosures on any computer in the
lab will love the SpyderHUB. Computer repair facilities that want to
use eSATA hard drive enclosures for computer repair and backup will
find the SpyderHUB is indispensable. Professional users looking for a
way to expand their eSATA enclosure use to include computers that do
not support a SATA host adapter will find the SpyderHUB provides an
amazing solution. Apple users that want their external eSATA hard drive
to be bootable will find the SpyderHUB can also provide this
feature.
Instant Boot Capability
Many MacBook Pro users love their high performance SATA ExpressCard
but they also desire the ability to boot from the eSATA enclosure for
maintenance or testing. The SpyderHUB provides Mac OS X boot capability
to any direct connect eSATA enclosure using the built-in, high quality,
FirmTek eSATA to FireWire 800/400/USB 2.0 converter. This feature not
only increases connectivity options but also enhances flexibility by
providing instant eSATA boot capability for all currently shipping
Macintosh computer models.
Instant Delivery
When professional users are creating videos, audio or other
multimedia content they typically use the powerful Mac Pro. When the
final presentation is delivered to the client a MacBook Air, MacBook
Pro, MacBook, iMac or Mac mini may be used. The SpyderHUB allows the
same eSATA hard drives used in the creation process to also deliver the
presentation which reduces time, energy and equipment needs. There are
many ways that the SeriTek/SpyderHUB can enhance productivity with the
use of eSATA direct connect enclosures.
The FirmTek Solution
The FirmTek SeriTek/SpyderHUB addresses the issue of eSATA interface
compatibility with an entirely new approach. The SpyderHUB can be
installed to connect up to two SATA hard drives with a FireWire 800,
(400 with an optional adapter) or a USB 2.0 host connection when an
SATA host adapter is not available. When a SATA host adapter is
available, the SpyderHUB is removed and the FirmTek eSATA connectors
are used. This method provides compatibility while maintaining the high
performance eSATA direct connect interface. The SpyderHUB allows
FirmTek direct connect enclosures to be used with MacBook Air, MacBook,
iMac or Mac mini FireWire/USB 2.0 connections for expanded connectivity
options.
Two eSATA + FireWire
When the SeriTek/SpyderHUB is connected to a computer via FireWire
it can also be used to daisy chain additional FireWire devices. This
feature expands the storage connection options of the SpyderHUB to
include FireWire devices. The FirmTek SeriTek/SpyderHUB is the only
device on the market that allows existing direct connect SATA
enclosures to interface with a FireWire host connection. FirmTek
customers can now enjoy the expanded capability of using their direct
connect SATA enclosures with any computer system.
Hardware RAID
The SeriTek/SpyderHUB supports JBOD, RAID 0 and RAID 1 using Disk
Utility. It also provides hardware RAID 0 and concatenate options for
users that would like to configure a hardware RAID that can be used
with a PC or Mac OS X. This embedded hardware RAID feature allows a
SpyderHUB hardware RAID to be moved between PCs and Macintosh computers
when Master Boot Record is selected as the partition format.
Key Features and Benefits
- Provides Mac OS boot capability to eSATA enclosures
- Allows content to be shared between different Macintosh and/or PC
models
- Provides FireWire Daisy Chaining capability
- Operates using bus power (power adapter optional)
- Expands eSATA direct connect enclosure connectivity to include
FireWire 800/400/USB 2.0 host interfaces. (FireWire 400 requires
optional adapter)

Skobos Announces Personal Television
Software for Macs
PR: Skobos have released their new flagship personal
television program called 'Skobos'. The program is currently available
for OS X operating systems and runs as a Universal program on both
PPC and Intel built microprocessors.
Skobos - the first major broadband, all digital, software television
for the Mac has arrived. The time of TV entertainment being delivered
to your computer is here and it's going to allow you to travel the
world, one channel at a time.
This is not Video-On-Demand where you receive broadcasts that
you must preselect in order to view. This is real TV in every sense of
the word. The differences between Skobos and the television you have in
your home is that Skobos is software based and the only hardware you
need is your computer.
"The time for the acceptance of a software television by the
public-at-large is fast approaching and we (Skobos) are going to be in
the lead when it arrives. For a few years now IPTV, made mostly
available for Microsoft operating systems have created a huge lead
among the personal usage of IPTV, up until now that is." says Chuck
Grieves, owner of Skobos.
While the term of 'Personal Television' conjures up memories of a
small B&W 5" battery operated television, this software is far
advanced from that technology.
"We wanted the Skobos program to be as interactive as possible with
each users personality in mind. From the see-through windows that
matchup seamlessly for any desktop background image, to the opportunity
to control via real-time voting; what channels are kept and what ones
are excluded from the next bimonthly update. It becomes pure user
interactivity in every sense of the word."
"As for Social Networking, the act of conversing with people
half-a-world-away that may be watching the same channel you are in
real-time, is amazing and offers as yet untapped opportunities that
Skobos is uniquely poised for. The future of Internet Television is
here and now."
Skobos is a software television that allows the user to view preset
and updateable channels via a high-speed Internet connection on a Mac
computer. The software has been in development for the past few years
(beginning with the Widget Television VF1 through VF3) and is now a
stand-alone package. The television programming design of Skobos, was
written in its entirety in AppleScript using Apple's Xcode environment,
AppleScript Studio.
The program's viewing capabilities relies on the user's installation
of the top three (free) video players, available over the Internet. The
channels are encoded using one of several technologies and then are
broadcast over the Internet using specific video codecs.
The availability of these channels to the enduser depends on the
user having the three players, QuickTime, RealPlayer, and Windows Media
Player, installed on the computer that Skobos is installed on. The
players are free to the enduser and can be downloaded from the sites
detailed here.
Skobos is designed completely with the enduser in mind. From the
ease of channel selection, volume control, and full-screen viewing, to
the ability to set favorites, channel voting, and instant messaging,
Skobos will fast become a program favorite for any user.
Skobos is currently under development in four versions. Details
concerning version one (v1) which is now available from this website,
can be found under the top heading of 'Products'.
Version two (v2) is intended for most educational institutions and
commercial business's. It includes not only our Skobos viewer but also
live event programming for class usage. If combined with a class or
auditorium projector, Skobos makes a great tool for event scheduling
and live 'chat with the Presenter' additions coded into the
software.
Version three (v3) is a combination of the first two and includes
everything they have to offer individually, plus V3 also gives any
registered user the ability to broadcast any live event to all other
registered user's 'Live' specific channels.
Version four (v4) is the creme of the crop and includes everything
that previous versions have plus v4 is a maintenance version that has
several built-in system tools for the Mac savvy person. It also
includes a browser, a notes section, PDF output from notes, and several
other items for the experienced Mac user.
Please be aware that at this time, only Version 1 (V1) is currently
available for purchase and download.
The current 160+ channels of the Skobos program (version 1.0.1)
links to the broadcasts of everything from 24 hour News, Music, &
Variety shows, to live broadcasts streaming from around the world.
Watch Television from Russia to Iraq, China to someplace in Hometown
USA, or Lebanon to Czechia at the speed of a mouse click.
The Skobos program offers its users a friendly, interactive, and
low-cost effective way to travel the world, one channel at a time.

program, you can visit their website.
