Pretty neat video fake of a “mobile” version of Leopard running on an iPod. It’s most likely just recorded on a machine running OS X, then transferred to an iPod 5G with the guy mimicing the mouse’s movements with his stylus. Cool nonetheless. – Jason Chen

A secure, memorable password is easy for you to remember, and hard for others to guess.
Everywhere you turn you’ve got to come up with a password to register for something or another. Whether it’s the dozens of web sites that require you log in to use them, or your ATM card PIN, or your wireless network login, how do you decide on a new password? More importantly, how do you remember it?

Rules of the road: (1) No raking women with your eyes; glance quickly and respectfully. (2) Offer to share a taxi rather than fight over it. (3) Babies in strollers get right-of-way—until they abuse it. (4) Still no ogling girls—c’mon! (5) And skateboarding, are you kidding me? (6) Not everybody loves your dog as much as you do. (7) No bicycling on the sidewalk unless under the age of 6. (8) Pedestrians can die of secondhand smoke, too. (Photo: Photomontage by Peter Rad) |
Switchers Guide To Mac OS X Software July 5, 2006

As more people begin switching to OS X from Windows, they are going to need some additional software, other than what comes stock with OS X. While this list isn’t totally complete, it’s a good starter list, to enable a somewhat seamless transition. I wanted to keep this list fairly simple, and not overwhelm the new Mac user. That’s why you don’t see my favorite podcast apps, big commercial packages, etc. Most of this software is free or donation ware. If you use it, support the developers.

It is the finale of a five-and-a-half-year effort to conduct campaigns in every city in the world outside Israel with more than 25,000 Jews.
