Auto Archive in Outlook 2011 for Mac | Enterprise Messaging and Directory Services Group. This is a great solution for Mac users to archive their email. I was researching this because I am going to be helping a friend tomorrow deal with all the email she gets.

 

Another Mac virus-DevilRobber.A

Interesting that there is more interest in Mac viruses.

I wonder if this means that Mac anti-virus companies have a stronger case to make for purchase of their software? Thanks Intego!

Mystery of the disappearing disk space — Reality Distortion: Macs, Mac OS… – StumbleUpon. Interesting. I wonder what caused that behavior. I have never noticed that in any Mac I’ve worked on.

Nice writeup by Lex at Macworld. It seems that lately there has been more hacking interest in the Mac. I wonder why?

I have been using Sophos on my Mac and it has worked great. It has found a ton of viruses just surfing the web. Although I have to say that the most viruses I get are from using StumbleUpon. I wonder why they don’t scan the websites they catalog for viruses and then delist them?

4 ways to lock your Mac and protect it from prying eyes – TNW Apple. I use the Shift-Control-Eject all the time. It is a great way to lock it and people like how it is like Windows.

exFAT – how to share files between Mac and Windows 7

Do you want to share files between Mac and Windows 7? This is an easy way to do both read/write. Thanks Stress Test!

Open Disk Utility.app (Applications > Utilities), mark your external Disc (The entry starting with the size) and click on “Partition” on the right side. Select “1 partition” and as Format, select “ExFAT” that should work with files bigger than 4GB.

Rumor: Apple to introduce a new, different type of Mac

Rumor: Apple to introduce a new, different type of Mac. This was my comment on that.

Hello Shock,

That is an interesting theory. So what about the people who bought from iTunes store who didn’t have to on their iPhone and laptops? Clearly people prefer digital distribution. I know that other than the Apple Store, it is hard to find Mac software. Sometimes Best Buy/Staples has it, but rarely is it in other stores. I think that this is helpful for their customers, not a negative.

Apple does make plenty of mistakes. I don’t think Apple feels threatened, I think they just view their role differently. They have always exercised control over their system. Just like any other company encourages the use of their technologies. The market share for PC’s dropped 1% last year, so I don’t think there is a migration to Windows from mac.

Apple dropped the floppy drive painfully early, and it is no surprise that they are dropping other connections as well. They have always been about dropping hardware features, while pushing their customers to upgrade to the newest standards for performance.
