----------------------------------------------

05 Basic Terminal Commands
This is an old article on a blog, but one I hadn't seen
and even those of us who started on Apple DOS or PCDOS and
have some idea what Terminal commands should look like will
find this useful. However even those of us who stated that
way can be intimidated by being in the Terminal application
for Mac OS X. NewSourceMedia blog has an article on the
basic terminal commands to get you started.

----------------------------------------------
06 Keep an eye on your computer
The Logger is a computer monitoring tool that records
what your employee, roommate or child does on you computer.
This useful software utility records every key pressed in
your Mac and takes a snapshot of the screen with every mouse
click detected. You can even receive an email every time a
keystroke session is started. The Logger creates full HTML
reports for every session where you can see all keys pressed
and snapshots taken.

07 Sparky, The Christmas Elf for iOS
Sparky, The Christmas Elf has just arrived for iPhone,
iPad, and iPod touch. Sparky, The Christmas Elf is a simple,
yet addictive game suitable for players of all ages.

----------------------------------------------
08 Free stuff from iPresentee
We've mentioned iPresentee before, as a unique adjunct
software for iWeb and Keynote. Now, iPresentee is
re-launching its set of free stuff, including some pretty
fine clip art for the holidays . . .

09 Paperless 2.0
Last winter Mariner Software announced Paperless 2.0 for
the Macintosh. They followed up with a Windows version in
September.

----------------------------------------------
10 Old Mac makes Self-Tweeting Cat Bed
With the eSleeper, we've truly reached the pinnacle of
human civilization. While gutting old electronics for
conversion into pet beds isn't a new phenomenon (remember
the old iMac fishbowls?), the advent of Twitter alongside
inexpensive do-it-yourself Arduino boards means that all
gadgets turned pet sleepers must now inform the world when
such pets enter and/or exit each domicile.

11 The Empire Strikes Back
It has been a long time since anyone considered Xerox an
innovation powerhouse. On the contrary, Xerox typically
serves as a cautionary tale of opportunity lost: many
obituaries of Steve Jobs described how a fateful visit by
Jobs to the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in 1979 inspired
many of the breakthroughs that Apple built into its
Macintosh computer.

----------------------------------------------
12 Millions of printers open to hack attack
Could a hacker from half-way around the planet control
your printer and give it instructions so frantic that it
could eventually catch fire? Or use a hijacked printer as a
copy machine for criminals, making it easy to commit
identity theft or even take control of entire networks that
would otherwise be secure?
