Next meeting is Thursday 11th February 2010. This will be at the Ashtead Peace Memorial Hall. We look forward to seeing you all there on the 11th. Please see the About Us pages for directions.

Topics to be covered include:

  • LATE ADDITION: Apple's latest product, iPad - Apple's answer to the PC tablet and Sony's Reader, Suped-up iPhone or dumed down MacBook? Come along and ask the questions... find out for yourself!
  • Following January's discussion on "Upgrading to 10.6 – the right way", I'm sure there will be more to find-out about Snow Leopard.
  • Mobile internet connections – Where, Why & How?
  • Tour of facilities at Ashtead Peace Memorial Hall (for new members).

           Look forward to seeing you all.

Disclosure of information vulnerability in Safari PDF Print E-mail
Written by xMac   
Wednesday, 28 January 2009 00:53

A list of alternative browsers can be found here on the site.

Apple's Safari browser is vulnerable to an attack that allows a
malicious web site to read files on a user's hard drive without user
intervention. Ouch...

>>> http://brian.mastenbrook.net/display/27

or the referring page

>>> http://www.macintouch.com/index.shtml#sec.2009.01.12.safarirss

Seems for now the best fix is to change the default RSS reader
(whether you use RSS feeds or not...) Mail or perhaps Google for non/
casual RSS users - if you are a heavy RSS user you probably have a
dedicated feed reader anyway...

More Malware misery for Mac Owners PDF Print E-mail

 The register is reporting as of yesterday that there are yet more potent applications doing the rounds on the bit torrent sites and masquerading as Anti Virus programs.

 An trojan has been discovered in a copy of the Adobe Photoshop CS 4 serial number generator tool. OSX.Trojan.iServices.B comes in through torrent sites and participates the unwilling victims machine in a botnet.

 Fake anti Virus for Mac OSx is also in the ascendency, a problem that has plagued PC owners for a few years now is becoming more of an issue for mac owners as well.

The net is slightly more dangerous for mac owners in the New year of 2009, make sure you stay updated with OS X updates and look out for any odd behaviour.

    iMac G3 600mhz graphite I got for $30 from a thrift shop. They were nearly going to toss it as it kernel-panicked on boot. Just needed a reformat and reinstall. Dual boots OS 9 and OS X 10.4 .
