- SuperDuper! finally makes its way to Leopard
One of the most sought after applications since Leopard was released has finally been updated.
Shirt Pocket’s SuperDuper! backup application received a big update today, with the biggest feature being that it is now Leopard compatible.
For many, SuperDuper! has become somewhat obsolete with Leopard’s Time Machine feature, but other users who would prefer more control over their backups will enjoy the flexibility SuperDuper! offers.
SuperDuper! is free for regular use and $27.95 if you’d like to enable some of the more advanced features.

Valentines is coming up, what are you planning to get the Mac Fanatic in your life?
Considering the slew of Apple products out there, it would be simple to just pick up your loved one an Apple TV or an iPod. But for those of you pressed for money, here are a few things you can do instead.
iPhoto Albums
Currently Apple has 20% off iPhoto Albums. Make a quick one for the last trip you and your loved one took, or a "just because" one filled with all your favorite photos and more. Check out The Bargainist for details.
Cables
Cables are always a great way of freeing clutter and adding functionality to your Mac. If your loved one has a Video enabled iPod, I recommend the Apple A/V Chord which allows you to hook up your device to any TV and watch your videos or photos on the big screen. Great for portability and really comes in handy if you don't have an Apple TV laying around.
Speaking of decluttering, I also recommend BlueLounge chord management devices. It may not say I love you like a dozen roses, but if your loved one truly loves Apple, then they can appreciate the simple minded gesture.
“Mixed Tape”
There's always the classic "Mixed Tape." Put together a playlist of both your favorite music and surprise them with it on their iPod on your next trip, or go "old school" and burn a CD for them to enjoy.
Gift Cards
If a "mixed tape" isn't your thing, you can always do a simple iTunes Gift Card or Gift music or videos for them.
For the Apple fan who has EVERYTHING already, why not a book? I recommend Cult of Mac's book as well as iCon: Steve Jobs.
Baking
For the cook in you, maybe an Apple shaped apple pie? I'd be really curious to see how that turns out.
When In Doubt
T-shirts are always easy and make for great gifts. The Apple Collection offers a variety of OSX and Apple paraphernalia. Or check out these Apple inspired designs from Insanely Great Tees.
If you anyone has any further suggestions, feel free to comment them.

The options for the iPod touch and iPhone got a little more diverse today, as Apple added a 32GB touch and a 16GB iPhone. Both retail for $499. The touch will ship in 1-2 business days and comes with free engraving, while either iPhone will ship in 1-3 business days.So if you’ve been holding out on pulling the trigger on a new toy, now might be the time to pull out the old credit card and pony up the dough.

For those that have installed Office 2008, you may have seen some news floating on the internets about improper permissions — that were created by the installer — potentially allowing another local user to access your documents. It’s not a remote exploit issue and most folks are probably not vulnerable (you only need to be concerned if you’ve created another user on the system).
Erik Schwiebert posted instructions for a temporary fix over at Mac Mojo and Microsoft will be issuing an official patch/update to address the issue as well. Erik’s instuctions require some Terminal-fu, so I wrapped them into an executable – Fix Office 2008 Permissions.
Just download/extract the archive and run the executable. You will be prompted for your password since the fix requires elevated privileges.
If you have any issues with the executable or following Erik’s instructions, post them in the comments and I’ll see if your particular install requires any tweaking.

http://theappleblog.com/2008/01/26/fix-for-office-2008-security-issue/#comments - A Look at Native KDE 4.0 for OS X
This week Slashdot (and many, many others) reported that KDE 4.0 has been released for Windows and OS X. KDE (K Desktop Environment) has been a popular GUI for *nix systems and there have been ways of getting it to run (mostly) on OS X prior to this native port if you were willing to use X11 on OS X). RangerRick (of OpenNMS “fame” did much of the heavy lifting for the Mac side of this project, including the package distributions.To start, you’ll need to grab the torrent download – I picked the one labeled “everything,” weighing in at over 2GB. Once the download eventually finishes (it was slow for me, but I may have been a bit impatient and started mine before all the primaries were seeded), mount the KDE dmg file and double-click on the

One bit of annoyance is that installer stores everything in/opt, so you’ll have to ⌘-Shift-G (goto folder) in the Finder and enter/opt/kde4/binto get to the apps (alias this into the/Applicationsfolder for faster access).

This is the fifth year I’ve attended Macworld Expo on the day of the keynote, and it definitely wasn’t as exciting as 2007. But after last year’s introduction of the long-rumored iPhone, how could it be?
Of course, another big difference is that I didn’t get into the keynote this year. There’s always a disconnect between those who attend the keynote and those who don’t. (more…)
