Thanks to Gary Kampel for reminding us last week that February
actually didn't have 29 days this year, and that the InfoManager
should have been dated March 1st.

02 Criminals Infect Educational Sites
A new report has been released issuing a warning that hackers
have become industrialized and represent an exponentially
increased threat to individuals, organizations and Government.
We didn't think too much excitement about this until we
ran the recommended 'test' for the concept.

04 iPhone app could save your life
Scenario: there's been an accident, and you are unconscious.
You called 911 from your cell phone and passed out ' would
the paramedics find the information you stored about
yourself on your phone? ICE4me would sound an alert,
bringing their attention to your phone!

05 Import YouTube, DVD to your Mac
Cocoamug Software has solved the problem of capturing YouTube
videos with CosmoPod for Mac OS X. CosmoPod is a one-click
simple extension to Apple Safari browser that helps you
saving and converting internet media content to your
Mac, iPhone, AppleTV or iPod.

06 A Duplicate Mac Finder
Tidy Up! is a must-have utility for Mac users to reclaim
disk space being taken up by duplicate files and packages.
Tidy Up! locates duplicate items using a wide range of
criteria including owner application, time created
or modified, name, label, extension and content.

Job Timer is a task time tracking and reporting solution
designed to be run by Script Timer, its popular script,
Automator workflow, and application scheduling utility for
Mac OS X. With minimal setup Job Timer can automatically
keep track of the time spent on files belonging to any
number of specific jobs, with no need to have to
remember to start or change timers.

08 Emulation Wiki
I have long known that there are a lot of emulators
available to run on the Mac. That is the area I found
the most interesting on the Emulation Wiki. However
there are also sections for PC DOS/Windows, PC Linux,
Other Computers, Consoles and Handhelds.

09 CosmoPod imports YouTube and DVD
Cocoamug Software has announced the latest release of
CosmoPod. CosmoPod 4.2.1, an intuitive Safari extension that
lets you download Flash videos from all popular websites
like YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion, etc. CosmoPod can
automatically convert downloaded files to an Apple device
friendly format, tag them and add them to iTunes so its
there ready for your next sync.
Best of all, it's one-click simple!

Independent iPhone developer Robert Chitoiu announced last
week the release of Balance Forecasting 2.2 for iPhone and iPod
touch devices. Balance Forecasting helps the user be more
organized when it comes knowing how much money will be in
their account on any given day in the future. At the same

It's really hard to design products by focus groups.
A lot of times, people don't know what they want
until you show it to them.
