狼來了的故事..... 不過今次係蟲來了, 而且係所謂專家講的. 問題在於Mac建基於不同的核心, 如果佢的file system 可以被入侵, 咁佢應該唔係普通hacker/Malware 啦. 從電腦管理人員的角度睇, 永遠都係 user 先會帶來問題的........

John Gruber 回顧返呢几年o既"專家"意見, 我o既意見係: 都係小心d好。

Ed Bott, ZDNet, three days ago: “Coming Soon to a Mac Near You: Serious Malware”:




Now I am seeing evidence that the next target is OS X. That’s
potentially very bad news for Mac owners who have abandoned their
PCs in the belief that switching to a Mac somehow immunizes them
from malware.



Security experts know, of course, that there’s nothing
magical about Macs when it comes to security. They just
haven’t been targeted because Windows has been such a big
juicy target for so long.



But now that Macs have achieved a critical mass of success in the
marketplace, they’ve attracted the attention of malware authors.
According to a report from a Danish IT security company, an
underground group has completed work on a fully operational kit
specifically designed to build malware aimed at the Mac OS
platform.

巴基斯坦指美國擊斃拉登的行動 未經許可

對付呢種壞蛋, 仲有乜仁義可能, 巴基斯坦只係包庇縱容恐怖份子。


巴基斯坦指美國擊斃拉登的行動 未經許可: "巴基斯坦表示,美國突襲阿蓋達領袖拉登,巴基斯坦政府事先並不知情,亦無允許美國這樣做。


巴國外交部表示關注事件,認為美國的單方面行動不足為法,又指華府的做法,可能影響兩國之間合作,甚至威脅國際社會的和平及安全。


美軍日前在巴基斯坦城市阿伯塔巴德,突擊拉登的大宅,將他擊斃。"

An IP Address Does Not Point To a Person, Judge Rules

其實我一路都唔明點解蠱惑天王告得入....

AffidavitDonda writes with this excerpt from Torrentfreak: "A possible landmark ruling in one of the mass-BitTorrent lawsuits in the US may spell the end of the 'pay-up-or-else-schemes' that have targeted over 100,000 Internet users in the last year. District Court Judge Harold Baker has denied a copyright holder the right to subpoena the ISPs of alleged copyright infringers, because an IP-address does not equal a person. Among other things, Judge Baker cited a recent child porn case where the US authorities raided the wrong people, because the real offenders were piggybacking on their Wi-Fi connections. Using this example, the judge claims that several of the defendants in VPR's case may have nothing to do with the alleged offense either. ... Baker concludes by saying that his Court is not supporting a 'fishing expedition' for subscribers' details if there is no evidence that it has jurisdiction over the defendants."

Google has seven major product groups. Advertising, Commerce & Local, Mobile (Android), Social, Chrome, YouTube and Search. Search is, of course, Google's first and most important product. But that group actually no longer exists internally. As of April, when Larry Page took over as CEO of the company, the search group was renamed the "knowledge group" internally.

Renew Your Old iPod Nano With Some Software Mods [How-To]

舊有ipod nano 唔想嘥? 裝個新os當新玩具再玩過!

Have an old iPod Nano? Want to spruce up its interface and software a bit? You're in luck! This post is going to tell you how to really Pimp Your Pod! It's rather straightfoward, and shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes to complete from start to finish. Please be aware that the iPodWizard portion is using software that's Windows only, so you should get that virtual machine or Boot Camp install cookin' for a little while. Read the rest of the post for more information.
Note: The iPod Nano that I used for this tutorial is the first generation 1GB iPod Nano running firmware 1.3.1 and is formatted for use on Windows machines. If your iPod is formatted for use on a Mac, then you're most likely going to run into issues with iPodWizard recognizing it. BUT, if all you'd like is Rockbox and iPodLoader, then go to step 4.
