Onverwacht bezoek aan Headquarters

20 juni 2008 – 16:26

LEEUWARDEN – Door een open bovenlicht kwam onlangs – tijdens de vakantie van Maarten en Paul – een jonge koolmees naar binnengevlogen. Na een paar rondjes vloog ze weer door het raam naar buiten.

Op verzoek hieronder de foto’s.

Stolen MacBook Victim Uses Screen Sharing and iSight to Bust Thieves

10 mei 2008 – 20:42

(Paul heeft hier ruim een jaar geleden al eens, naar nu blijkt, profetische woorden over gesproken.)

A White Plains, NY woman who was the victim of burglary, including her MacBook, used the Back To My Mac screen sharing feature to turn on her webcam and capture images of the unwitting culprits using the computer. As a result, police were able to arrest the thieves and recover most of the stolen goods, which included two laptops, two flat-screen televisions, two iPods, gaming consoles, DVDs and computer games.

This plan first launched into action when a co-worker of the nameless woman at the Apple Store noticed her computer online and notified the woman. She was then able to log into her computer and the rest is history. So the moral of the story is this: If you steal a MacBook, please be sure to cover the iSight with some tape. Otherwise, you could also be charged with a second degree felony.

OS-X whole-disk encryption met PGP

12 februari 2008 – 12:10

PGP Corp. is planning to release a version of its whole-disk encryption software for Apple Macintosh computers running OS X.  Jon Callas, PGP’s chief technology officer, told me on Monday that the software is “in active development” and will run on Intel-based Macs. Callas didn’t want to elaborate on a shipping date, unfortunately.

This promises to be a boon for OS X users, especially laptop users who are more likely to lose their machines or run into snoopy border police and airport security guards who want to poke around the contents of their hard drives. Right now there’s no way for OS X users to encrypt their entire boot disks.
