01 Phishing & Spam Report
This week we revisit the Facebook vs. Wallace case; get a
100-million report from the FBI, and see the Anti-Phishing
game now available as courseware. Stay tuned to online
crime and protect yourself!

02 Keep mobile devices close
Thanksgiving Shopping Period is the worst time for leaving
your mobile devices in the back of Cabs, warn NY Cab Drivers,
as 30,000 mobile phones are left in New York taxis every six months

-------------------------------------------------------------------
03 New Cancer Treatment
Not all technology is computer, I want to highlight some of
the tech that is helping to improve lives. Tom Foremski posted
this article on ZDNet. I have been a beneficiary of a heart
catheter a few times. i found it amazing what today's
medicine can do without cutting into you.

04 New Apple iMac and MacBook Touchscreen Systems
Ok, these aren't from Apple, but there has long been
touchscreen systems for Macs. I remember working on a
client's machine in the mid '90s that had a touch screen
and even remember some used at local malls as a kiosk.

06 9 Tips for iTunes 9
This site has a number of tips for Mac, thus its name
Mac OS X Tips. It is in the UK, so some of the spellings
seem a little strange to us yanks.
This one is about using iTunes 9.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
07 Apple Snow Leopard Server
This article in Network World really seems to praise
Snow Leopard as a server platform.

08 Kiss your DVD - goodbye
In an article with the above title, Dwight Silverman shows
that Apple is not the only one looking at the possibilities

09 One Year Ago: Mac Yourself
I have listed a number of Mac Hint and Tip sites over the years.
This is one that I 'Stumble' on tonight. One of the great problems
with using Stumble for looking for web sites is that you can spend
a lot of time without good results, even if you enjoy it.
In this case, the time was worth it.

10 One Year Ago: Free People Search
I have mentioned the Internet Tourbus several times in the past.
The article starts off with mentioning Googling one's self.
But then it gives some alternatives.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
11 Two Years Ago: Protect Yourself from the QuickTime RTSP Vulnerability
TidBITS has published an article with the above title.
By now you have probably heard about the announcement from the U.S.
Computer Emergency Readiness Team concerning a vulnerability
in Quicktime on both Macs and PCs

12 Quotes: What would Steve say?
You can't just ask customers what they want
and then try to give that to them.
By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.
Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes.
It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with
improving your other innovations.
- Steve Jobs
