- The MacBook Air Could Easily Be the Only Machine ★
-
David Heinemeier Hansson, who’s using an Air as his main computer:
But what I continue to be impressed with the most on the Air is simply the build quality. The MacBook Pro has OK build quality, but the regular MacBook frankly blows in this department in my mind. The plastic feels too cheap, it creaks and bends, and the black surface gets permanently smudged way too quickly. It just doesn’t feel tight in the same way the Air does.
- Chinese Windows Virus Infects Through Digital Photo Frames ★
-
From an article by Deborah Gage in the San Francisco Chronicle:
An insidious computer virus recently discovered on digital photo frames has been identified as a powerful new Trojan Horse from China that collects passwords for online games - and its designers might have larger targets in mind.
Deborah Hale at SANS suggested that PC users find friends with Macintosh or Linux machines and have them check for malware before plugging any device into a PC.
I love how it’s called a “computer virus”, not a “Windows virus”, but the advice they offer is to test the thing on a Mac or Linux machine.
