Well, believe it or not, Intego publishes a press release announcing the launch of a Mac OS X Trojan Horse and my copy of VirusBarrier pops up with this alert.

I discovered quite by accident this morning that horizontal scrolling is built in Mac OS X (as long as you own a mouse with a scroll wheel).

Mac OS 10.0 turns 3 today. It was launched on March, 24 2001, remember ? Seems ages ago.

March is back with its birthdays and memories.
We organised Emma’s first birthday party on Wednesday, after having spent the previous evening blowing up helium balloons and decorating – and remembering what we were doing – thinking – feeling 3 years before. It’s surprising how much one can remember – especially the details. I can recall the exact positions we were occuping on the couches, what we watched on TV (Jackie Brown), at what time we went to bed – what we were reading at the time.. and the sequence of events that followed the next morning. -

The default map function of the Address Book is a cool trick, but isn’t very useful to users living out of the USA. But there’s a new plugin on the block: Mappy Address Book
A neat Address Book plugin which enables the Address Book to hook into the online Mappy services. You can map an address or route it. Works like a charm. -
Matthew Thomas posted an article on his first 48h hours enduring Mac OS X
“The quality of Apple’s human interface has declined and continues to decline. That other current platforms, both Free and non-Free, continue to be even worse does not make this situation any more satisfying.”
Matthew Thomas is a usability critic and former Mac OS 9 user. Recommended reading – BTW, I agree with most of his points. -
I got bitten by a strange bug yesterday while running Software Update on my Server: a bunch of updates where available, so I accepted to install them and went back to my desktop. After a while, I was ready to click the “restart” button when I noticed that a red exclamation mark was next to all the updates instead of the green checkmark, and a dialog box was displaying the following
“None of the checked updates could be installed. Make sure you have permission to write to /tmp/501/TemporaryItems/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate, then try again.” -
I don’t about you, but fonts problems or font related problems have caused havoc more than once since I permanently switched to Mac OS X back in the 1.1 days.
A MacOSXHint thread points on a very informative document that explains – and clarifies – a lot of potential font issues and how to solve them, where to store them, what format to use, etc. The document is Jaguar (10.2) centered, but a lot of the info still applies to Panther. -
Apple has finally recognised the problem with the iBook’s logic board by publishing an extended exchange program and offering to reimburse previous costs of repair to eligible customers (iBook purchased in the last 3 years). Reuters comments the problem an article “Failing Apple Hardware”.
