I’ve been working on performance on my website using the suggestions from Page Speed Online. Since yesterday I have gone from 80 out of 100 to 87. I added WP Minify which compresses javascript/CSS. I also used the compress option in WP Super Cache. I am going to be working on that today as well. Google seems to make a big deal about performance in their search ranking.
After further tweaking with W3 Total Cache my site scores 95/100 on google speed page online test. Thats the highest ever for me. I am so pleased with that plugin.
Installing Flash on mbp (shipped with…: Apple Support Communities. I haven’t ever had a problem with Flash or Java being unsafe but I keep things constantly updated. I have had many mac virus that have used JavaScript to launch into my computer. Turning off JavaScript is a very helpful thing if you want to be safe. a brody suggests the following:
Flash is as safe as Adobe makes it. There are occasional security updates regarding it. Some animated websites require it, while others do not. Play around with websites and see if any really needs it that you really need access to.

Just close those windows with the red button in the upper left corner and proceed going through websites. If they make a window you can’t close, bookmark any sites you are on, and quit the web browser.
jfucci has the answer. It appears that once you enable FileVault in Lion, you are able to install ESet Cybersecurity and use it normally.
I, too, have ESet Cybersecurity. I tried just running the repair permissions through the Disk Utility, but that did not work. Only after I uninstalled Eset and then ran repair permissions did FileVault finally enable.
Researcher Finds Dangerous Vulnerability In Skype – Slashdot. What is most troubling is how Skype thinks of this vulnerability:
Skype spokesperson Chaim Haas has responded in an email, calling the bug “a minor issue,” and writing that the company plans to implement a fix in an update next week. He adds that the issue only affects “top contacts,” which means anyone attempting to exploit the bug would have to be someone the target communicates with on a regular basis. “As you can imagine, someone who you deal with frequently is probably unlikely to take advantage of this bug anyways.” Haas writes
