Tenterhooks posted:Tweetbot for Mac is finally out and causing some controversy with its $19.99 price tag. I think Daniel Jalkut nailed it with this piece: http://bitsplitting.org/2012/10/18/fairly-priced/ I agree with him. I'm definitely willing to pay $20 for Tweetbot, but it's not really a "fair" price if it's more than Tapbots even wanted to sell it for.

Jealous Cow posted:I'm not sure if this has been touched on in this thread, but there's been a little bit of drama regarding the security of FileVault 2. A DMA attack could potentially be done with Thunderbolt also (or anything with direct access to the machine's memory). However, this isn't, as far as I know, an issue that is limited to FileVault. Any kind of encryption system is going to have to store the decryption key in memory while it's running, which would make them all vulnerable to anyone who happens to have access to said memory.

Will memory address layout randomization help here? I'm assuming these types of exploits are available due to flaws in the way the port's controller deals with external devices? wolffenstein posted:You're not going to notice a difference. Thanks.

It's probably being used and that's why the attack takes 40 minutes - it has to scan/analyze memory And it's not a flaw, it's the way it works.

FYI http://macheist.com/ is running a bundle right now. Bundle Contents: Bejeweled 3 $20 Scrivener $45 Courier $10 PDF Signer $10 Artboard $30 Jurassic Park $30 Sam and Max $35 Strong Bad $30 Radium $25 DiskTools Pro $80 Evernote $60 HDRtist $30 Firetask $40 BioShock 2 $25 Painter Lite $70 For $29, some of the last ones are not unlocked yet. Nothing in there really stands out to me but I figured I'd throw it out there. I'm also interested in reviews of any of the products if anyone uses them.

Can existing Evernote subscribers add the time to their current subscription or is it just for new users? Like every bundle I've seen lately, this one is really "meh" except for the Evernote thing.

I was thinking about that bundle for Sam and Max and the Strongbad games, but I wish they could be in Steam. Random other question. In Chrome, is there a way to change the way a middle-click on a link or whatever brings you to that tab in focus? Right now I have to middle click, and then select the tab that opened in the background. All the plugins for middle click control seem to even address this, or are too much bloat for this one simple thing.

Advice Needed I'm getting a divorce and need to get my Wife's poo poo off the iMac (that I'm keeping) and on to an external drive she can use with her MBA. I know all of her music, movies, TV shows and apps are in iTunes, so I know I move the library to an external drive pretty easily. Same with iPhoto. However, she has tons of poo poo strewn about her user folder and would need all of that as well. If I move the iTunes and iPhoto libraries to the external drive (move, not copy), can I then just copy her user folder to the external drive as well? I'd hate for her stuff in the user folder to be on lock down or some usable format. Any concerns with this?

Hell, just throwing up a “sorry, can't find it guv'” warning instead of guessing that complete data destruction is probably the best cause of action would be a vast improvement.

Sonic Dude posted:This isn't always the case. We do lots of data transfers at work, and even moving through an external with permissions ignored, if we don't reset the owner then we get a call from an irritated customer. Maybe it's something different about how we're copying the data, because we use cp (since the Finder adds an oddly-huge amount of overhead when copying lots of files)? The only way I can think of that you would get shortnameA from the origin computer onto a destination computer of a user with shortnameB is that you setup the destination computer into target mode (or copy to an external drive and then install that drive into a machine) and use the origin computer to do the file copying. In this case, shortnameA would own the files. That said you are correct, you should double check the permissions of the files on the destination machine, but since he's dealing with an ex I'd say it's her problem.

Is anyone else having an issue in 10.8.2 wherein Finder isn't updating file additions? For instance, I download something with transmission, it finishes, and then the file isn't in my download's folder. The only way to make it appear is to choose show in finder from in transmission or kill and reopen finder. That's just one example, but it's happened in a few separate instances...

After having my LG display exchanged for a Samsung one, my rMBP is draining about 30% of battery during any given night while sleeping. I had this issue prior to the display exchange, but could fix it with a simple restart. I have reset the SMC twice to no avail. Battery health seems fine otherwise, so I don't think that it is a hardware issue. Anything I can try before heading back to the fruit stand?
