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?

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.
