- Protect Your Mac
As someone who both works in a high-theft environment (university campus, anyone?) and who owns a piece of portable Apply goodness that contains my entire life, I’m rather concerned about security and theft prevention. I had considered a laptop lock, but considerations of how much I really do move my laptop about and memories of picking one of those Kensington locks with a ballpoint pen (just to see if I could) dissuaded me from that. There’s also the option to get my Mac etched with my name and email address, but that’s pricey, detrimental to resale value, and offers no help in actually recovering my precious if it does get stolen.
If hardware’s not the option, then, how about software? The most well-known product for this, I suspected, was LoJack. They offer a fairly straightforward and tested service at 49.99 a year. Being me,though, that’s never good enough - I like options. A little more poking about brought me to Undercover, a Mac-only utility that purports to do much the same as LoJack. Now, of course, there’s no way to really test either service without getting my laptop stolen - and I think reporting it stolen as a test would be looked upon quite dimly by everyone involved - but Undercover looks like the better option to me.

Переслать - Mmmm, Delicious Library 2 Looks About Ready
I - along with much of the rest of the Mac-using world - have been waiting for Delicious Library 2 for quite a while. Seems like we’ve been hearing about how awesomer the second incarnation of the media tracking application will be, for years. I know it’s not that extreme, but anticipation makes everything seem to take longer, so don’t go calling Vaporware!
Weldon points out that Wil Shipley Twittered the closing bell on the application’s readiness a couple days ago. I hope Weldon’s assumption is correct - it’ll be pretty sweet to re-catalog all my stuff prior to packing it up for a move…
Thanks for the tip Weldon - you’d better be right!
