But Russia didn't fall for it. Oh well. . . . nonetheless -- we have the biggest cyber security update in the entire 16-year history of Safenetting.com :

5 Sync Multiple iPhones Together To Create One Giant Speaker
An old article I just "Stumbled Upon": Seedio is an app that lets you play local iPhone music across multiple devices. The app uses a Wi-Fi network to beam the track to other iPhones in your vicinity and synchronizes the playback. The theoretical connection limit for the app is 150. That's a lot of phones.

Running a server isn't as scary as you'd think. Here are three reasons why you should consider it, too. One of the primary uses of my Mac mini is as a portal into my home network. When I'm away from the house, or on a business trip or vacation, this means I can not only access the data on my home machines, but even see and control them.
