<description><![CDATA[Filed under: Software, Mac 101New to the Mac? Welcome back to our Mac 101 series, which explores the basics of Mac OS X, provides tips and tricks, and dives into key features of Apple's bundled tools.As a Mac user, you've got several options for chat clients -- Adium, Fire and IRC are all worthy -- but in this post we're going to focus on Apple's iChat. Create an accountWhen launched for the first time, iChat will prompt you to create an account. You've got five options, namely MobileMe AIM Jabber Google's GTalk JabberMake your selection and enter your information. If you're new to instant messaging, simply click the &quot;Get an iChat account.&quot; Now your account is ready to go.Among my favorite features of some of the non-Apple chat clients: tabbed windows. This allows you to collapse all of your open chats into a single window. That way, there's no need to have two or more windows open. Here's how to enable this in iChat.From the Preferences window, check the &quot;Messages&quot; tab. Next, select &quot;Collect chats into a single window.&quot; That's it! Now, iChat will list all of your open chats in a drawer along side your chat window. To move from one to the other, just click your chat partner's name.TUAWMac 101: Tabbed windows in iChat originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Tue, 18 Nov 2008 19:28:00 EST.

<description><![CDATA[Filed under: Software, ProductivityVoodooPad got a major upgrade today; after an intense beta period, version 4.0 is live. For those of you not familiar, VoodooPad is a personal wiki, a brainstorming and note-taking tool and the ultimate &quot;geek's notebook&quot; (my term, not theirs). With the ability to import a variety of files and link others, it also makes a great project management hub. I use it in combination with one of my other previously-mentioned favorites, Curio. It's had a fair number of mentions here in the past, and the 4.0 update is certainly something to talk about.Among the new features is the ability to sync using WebDAV. You can sync pages or entire documents in both directions, allowing for collaboration or just providing the ability to work on multiple machines. There are instructions available for setup on the Flying Meat wiki. I've been testing the sync feature for a while, and it works superbly. The web-publishing capabilities have been expanded, including iPhone-optimized output. There's also a new feature called &quot;The Bucket&quot; for gathering text -- via a system-wide hotkey -- from any application. PDF output, faster speeds, and a new layout for palette windows all add up to a great release.Organizing notes and files is simple, and linking together pertinent pages, snippets, Address Book contacts and more is a breeze. For those of a scripting persuasion, the reason I call it the &quot;geek's notebook&quot; is VoodooPad's ability to execute pages as scripts (Python ... Lua is being deprecated), and also the ability to extend via a plugin API. This can be used to work in HTML, Markdown and Textile support, set up GTD systems, even publish a blog.VoodooPad 4 is going for $29.95USD, and version 3 users can upgrade for $14.95USD. The Pro version is $49.95USD, upgrade for $19.95USD. There are free demos of each on their respective pages, and there's also a &quot;Lite&quot; version available for free, no strings attached. VoodooPad customers who purchased version 3 after August 1st, 2008 get a free upgrade. Check the full release notes for version 4 (and prior releases), as well as the features page for more information on VoodooPad and the 4.0 update.TUAWVoodooPad 4.0 provides WebDAV sync originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Tue, 18 Nov 2008 18:06:00 EST.

<description><![CDATA[Filed under: Software, Macbook Pro, MacBook, MacBook AirThere are several applications available that will help find a lost or stolen Mac. Here at TUAW, we've talked about LoJack for Laptops, Orbicule's Undercover, MacPhoneHome, and iAlertU from Slapping Turtle. Most of these apps &quot;find&quot; the computer by determining the IP address of the machine, and using that data to narrow down the physical location where the laptop is in use. That information can be shared with police and ISPs to find the thieves, recover your laptop, and make an arrest. There's a new Mac recovery app available called MacTrak that's different -- it uses the same Skyhook Wireless positioning technology used in the iPhone to accurately determine the location of your Mac within 10-20 meters. If your nice new MacBook Pro is lost or stolen, you simply log into a special web page with your predetermined credentials, and click on one button to start tracking your Mac. Every 30 minutes, MacTrak takes a picture with the iSight camera, then sends detailed information including its latitude and longitude to you via email. At the same time, it uploads that same information in a &quot;Wanted Poster&quot; view to your Flickr account. You can then work with the proper authorities to have your Mac returned to you. Read on for more info about MacTrak.Continue reading TUAW Review: MacTrak Theft Recovery SoftwareTUAWTUAW Review: MacTrak Theft Recovery Software originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Tue, 18 Nov 2008 17:36:00 EST.

<description><![CDATA[Filed under: Software Update, AppleIf you're a regular visitor to the Apple support downloads website, then you might have noticed a change last night. In addition to releasing two updates, Apple also redesigned the site. If you've used the update website before, then you know what a challenge it was to find any useful information. Before, Apple just showed a list of updates (with the newest ones at the top); now you are able to browse by specific product. By clicking a product link at the top, you can see updates for iPhone, iPod, Desktop Computers, Portable Computers, Mac OS and Software, Peripherals, Servers and Enterprise Software, and Internet (.Mac, MobileMe, Safari, Photo Services). Two interesting notes on the new design: First, Apple doesn't use the word &quot;Mac&quot; after Desktop and Portable, but instead uses &quot;Computer.&quot; Second, Safari is categorized under their &quot;Internet&quot; group alongside MobileMe; they also still have updates for .Mac despite the branding change to MobileMe. You can see the new site, and get your new updates, by clicking here.TUAWApple redesigns Support Downloads pages originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Tue, 18 Nov 2008 16:30:00 EST.

<description><![CDATA[Filed under: iPhoneChina Mobile, the service provider in talks with Apple to distribute the iPhone in the world's most populous country, is still expressing interest in selling the handset, but has plans to open its own online app store.According to Macworld, Wang Jianzhou, China Mobile's chairman and CEO, said at a recent conference that &quot;We will set up our own shop, and we hope, welcome all content providers to sell their software applications and games and songs and any other products in our application shop.&quot;Cult of Mac's Ed Sutherland notes that Apple and China Mobile are still in talks to bring the handset to China, according to Wang.Dan Nystedt of the IDG News Service speculated that China Mobile's app store would sell apps for Linux- and Symbian-based mobile phones, but it's unclear how this will affect China Mobile's burgeoning relationship with Apple. Apple, of course, already has the iTunes store, which offers music, games and apps for the iPhone platform. China Mobile's store is unlikely to interfere technically with the iPhone/iTunes ecosystem, but it would compete financially with Apple's offering. Not that there's anything wrong with competition, of course. An agreement with China Mobile would mean having the iPhone available to a market of 400 million existing subscribers, and perhaps millions more new subscribers. For comparison, the total population of the United States last year was just over 300 million people.

<description><![CDATA[Filed under: Gaming, iPhone, iPod touchWhen I showed this to my brother he remarked that it looked almost as good as any PSP game. Featuring a ton of cars, tracks and simple gameplay, Fastlane Street Racing (App Store link) is the best racer I've played on the iPhone. Each track is incredibly detailed and appears very large to boot. If there's only one weak point it's the audio. While passable, the engine noises could possibly be better. That said, they are dynamic (and change if you go into a tunnel or change speed, etc.) and it's likely this was the only way to make them so.The key to the game is drifting -- either turning so your tires squeal and engine noise changes, or tapping the brakes as you turn. Each car handles a bit differently, and you will find some are better suited to how you steer. But once you get the hang of drifting, there's just enough challenge on each level to keep you coming back for more. As always, the gameplay balance is what makes a game replayable and fun over time. In other words: if it is just enough of a challenge to keep you playing and unlocking new stuff, it's probably balanced well. This is tricky, but Fastlane has done a great job here. It's currently available on the store for $5.99, and that's a good price for this much game. Check out the gallery for all the locked items plus a bunch of in-game shots. Or skip to the video and watch the fun.Gallery: Fastlane Street Racing for iPhone and iPod touch Here's the video, but you'll have to forgive my sloppy gameplay. I kept making sure I was in frame and wound up hitting the side of the track. Actual gameplay is a bit tighter.

<description><![CDATA[Filed under: SecurityOur friends at Intego sent out an alert this morning, warning users about a new variant of the RSPlug trojan horse, found on several adult websites. The risk to users is classified as &quot;medium.&quot;RSPlug trojans, themselves a form of DNSChanger, change local DNS settings to redirect to phishing sites for banks, PayPal, and eBay. All these trojans must be downloaded at the user's request, and an administrator password has to be supplied. When visiting certain sites, the user is alerted that there is a &quot;Video ActiveX Object Error&quot; and is told that their &quot;Browser cannot play this video file.&quot; The alert instructs the user to download the &quot;missing Video ActiveX Object.&quot; If the user clicks OK, a disk image called &quot;cleanlive.dmg&quot; downloads (which may change in the future). Depending on the user's browser settings, this disk image may mount and installation may automatically start. Intego VirusBarrier X5 users are, as you might imagine, already protected. Updating your virus definitions today will improve detection.And, as always, be careful where you put your mouse online.TUAWNew variant of RSPlug trojan making the rounds originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Tue, 18 Nov 2008 12:30:00 EST.

If we take Apple CEO Steve Jobs at his word, then the problem lies with Flash being too heavy and Flash Lite being too insubstantial.<br/><br/>86 Vote(s) ]]></description>
