Don’t Forget Your Macworld Bingo Cards
Sunday, January 7th, 2007 | Tom Carmony
TUAW points out a pair of sites offering MacWorld Bingo cards. Yes, you too can eagerly await Tuesday’s announcement of upgrades and new Apple products by playing along with your own bingo card.
Be forewarned however, that printing and filling out one of these will clearly brand you as either a complete Apple fan-boy or, at minimum, someone with far too much time on your hands!

Time to Get Those Last Minute MacWorld Predictions In
Friday, January 5th, 2007 | Tom Carmony
Seattle’s own Mike Davidson offers his contribution to the ever-burgeoning number of Macworld predictions, and I have to say that I’m liking his list. Of course, most of the attention in recent months, from both Apple fans and Wall Street analysts, has been on the supposedly “sure thing” Apple phone, but Mike offers a few other tantalizing suggestions, including (my personal favorite) the “iTheater”.

Opposite Ends of the Network Security Spectrum
Friday, January 5th, 2007 | Tom Carmony
New York Times technology writer David Pogue runs down some of the potential risks (from a privacy/security standpoint) of using public wi-fi networks. This is certainly not new to anyone well-versed in network security, but for the average user, it’s a bit of a wake-up call to just how easily (and to what extent) any of our information can be gleaned from our computers on our next visit to the corner coffee shop.
Using software easily downloaded online, Pogue and Co. were able to demonstrate the ease with which information about your wi-fi could be tracked, including:
- Copies of e-mail sent and received;
- Lists of websites visited;
- Even graphics and other files that appeared on websites you’ve visited.
One the other end of the spectrum, for those exceedingly concerned with network security, the NSA has posted a free PDF guide on beefing up your own home or office network’s security (via Treelimb).

It’s January 5th, trees are blossoming in New York City and the temperatures there could hit 70 degrees tomorrow. Of course, as the White House will continue to assert, there’s nothing to this whole “global warming” craziness, is there?
