Should Designers & Developers be held liable for Internet Explorer Design Bugs?
Posted on :: Nov 23
This is a question I'm posing to the wild Development Community becasue it seems more and more prevelant that Designers and Developers alike are being held accountable for Bugs and lack-of-interoperability especially when designing an developing Websites that are Standards-Compliant and are 'Web 2.0' compatible.
Internet Explorer, and its inefficient JS engine, is off in its own little world and forces web developers, designers, and programmers to make special exceptions when it comes to CSS and JS. Although its improved a little with the advent of its latest 8 version IE is slowly falling behind and yet people continue to use it because it comes with Windows...Mac Malware Attacks? Say it isn't true...

In a sign that cyber-criminals are investing more time and resources into attacks against Apple’s Mac users, a new malware affiliate program has been discovered offering 43c for every infected Mac machine.
During an eye-opening presentation at the VB Conference 2009 conference here, Sophos Labs researcher Dmitry Samosseikko provided a glimpse into the “Partnerka,” a Russian network of spam and malware affiliates that have turned their attention to the Mac platform — using social engineering tricks to load fake codecs and scareware programs.
OSX: Could Snow Leopard tip the scales for BYOPC?
Posted on :: Aug 27
Apple’s upcoming Snow Leopard OS will support Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. Why is this important for BYOPC? Because until this release, BYOPC presumed some amount of virtualization (in most cases desktop virtualization) to support the killer app — email. According to the CNET article, “Improved Exchange support will be integrated into Mail, iCal and Address Book in Snow Leopard, which means email, calendar appointments, to-do lists and contacts from Outlook will be viewable on your personal calendar, mail and address books. It also allows things like dragging and dropping contacts into iCal to schedule meetings, and your Mac will be able to discover time conflicts between personal and work calendars and change the meeting time and location.”
Snow Leopard upgrade: what's in it for me?
Posted on :: Aug 27
I thought it was a nice touch on Apple’s part to deliver the update a few days early. But I’m still puzzled over exactly what’s in it for me. Apple’s Snow Leopard page is uncharacteristically modest, promising only that it will be “faster, more reliable, and easier to use” and will have some “new core technologies.”
Snow Leopard is really a major jump forward in terms of advanced hardware and software integration. It brings Grand Central, OpenCL, full 64-bit mode, and QuickTime X along with Exchange support and many tweaks. But many of these features are highly hardware-dependent, so not all Mac users will get everything.
Setting XAMMP to automatically start on MacOS X
Posted on :: Jul 29
well, the problem is in the mac os x version there is no easy way to start the application and all the services automatically when you boot up. the windows version has an option to install as a service. but us mac guys/gals are left in the dark. and have to manually start all the services. which sucks because i use a site in xampp as my homepage.
so i found a rather easy way to get xampp to auto start at boot up.

OS X Server Documents
Posted on :: Apr 23
About a year and a half ago, I had a partner who had bought his own server machine. I will admit I was preparing myself for a whole lot of configuring, reconfiguring and restarting (I assumed it was a Windows Server). Well I was surprised (and releived) that it was an Apple OSX (Tiger) Server.
Now I had configured many an Apple workstation and previous versions of the OS as a server, but never had I configured an OSX Server. These are the documents I used to get it running, rather quickly. And so I thought I'd post the here for download to assist others.
