Niche Web Marketing and Viral Concepts by Tony Rocks

Suddenly, everything clicks. And swipes. And scrolls.  And gives you overnight protection!  Is it just me or does the new Apple MagicMouse look like a maxipad?  Again, it seems to me that their are covert spies working within the design department at Apple.  It happened first with the toilet seat Imac, then the TRS-80 looking chicklet keyboard Mac Book (look at my old post called Apple hires Radio Shack to design new Mac Book), now, the potty humor of Apple design continues with this confusing new design.

I may be missing something here.  I know Apple is all about fluid, natural designs (they’ve proved that with the cheese grater looking G5), but the person that come up with the MagicMouse may have been a woman…or a man who thought, “I need to make this look inviting to women so that they feel comfortable and confident to work on that Maxim magazine photo spread.”  Yeah, something like that. 

So I can’t wait to see what Apple comes up with next.  I know they are working on some kick-butt tablet touch screen computers, I just hope they continue their innovative, natural, fluid-like designs.

I thought that the Mac OS didn’t have viruses or issues like Windows!  That is what they say on the commercials.  How wrong they are!  US-CERT has just announced a new vulnerability that affects Mac OS through the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE).  Below is the statement:

Original release date: May 20, 2009 at 11:22 am Last revised: May 20, 2009 at 11:22 am

Current releases of Mac OS X (version 10.5.7 and version 10.4.11 with security update 2009-002) include a version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) containing known security vulnerabilities. US-CERT is aware of publicly available exploit code for one of these vulnerabilities. This vulnerability may allow untrusted applets to obtain read, write, and execute permissions to local files and applications with the privileges of the local user. A fix for this vulnerability has been released by Sun, but Mac OS X users cannot apply the fix directly. Mac OS X users must use Apple updates to obtain updated JRE versions. At this time, Apple has not yet released an update to address this issue.

US-CERT encourages Mac OS X users to disable Java in each web browser they use until a patch is available from Apple. Guidance for disabling Java can be found in the Securing Your Web Browser document. Please note that disabling Java may affect the functionality of websites that use Java.
