Looking for something other than MissingLink for your Windows Mobile device on the Mac? Take a look at SyncMate, then.
VirtualBox runs many x86 operating systems (guest OS) on x86 computers (host OS). Guest operating systems VirtualBox can run include, but not limited to, Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista), DOS, Windows 3.x (on top of DOS), Linux (2.4 and 2.6), as well as OpenBSD.
Still under development, VirtualBox sits at version 1.6.2 and is actively updated. Sun has asked both developers and users to download its product and give it a try as well for developers to help out with coding. More coders means more features and hopefully more stability. More users will help in these two areas as well since feedback is always a much needed input for developers.
VirtualBox shares many of the same features as VMWare and Parallel’s offerings such as folder sharing, USB device use, and easy guest OS install from an ISO image.
Any Intel or AMD processor will run VirtualBox according to Sun. Most guest OS’s will need at least 512 MB of RAM with 30 MB of hard drive space need for VirtualBox itself. If you’re willing and daring (and just plain cheap), download VirtualBox today.

Apple Nailed with Nasty Trojan That Takes Over Macs Emailing, Passwords, and Even Takes Your Picture
Mac fanboys love to point out the fact that Windows users must waste immense systems resources to protect themselves from the millions of viruses, trojans, and spyware that live on the Internet. Even Apple makes light of this Windows malware problem in its commercial entitled Viruses in which Mac says to PC, “I run Mac OS 10 so I don’t have to worry about your spyware and viruses”. Sadly, however, Macs are no more protected from such attacks as is the Windows operating system. With holes and security vulnerabilities found in OS X and its default applications, such as Safari’s Zero-day exploit, Apple needs to start taking some defensive moves as it increases sales of its shinny machines to unsuspecting “switchers”.
Point in case, today SecureMac is reporting that the AppleScript.THT Trojan Horse runs hidden on a Mac and , “Allows a malicious user complete remote access to the system, can transmit system and user passwords, and can avoid detection by opening ports in the firewall and turning off system logging. Additionally, the AppleScript.THT Trojan horse can log keystrokes, take pictures with the built-in Apple iSight camera, take screenshots, and turn on file sharing. The Trojan horse exploits a recently discovered vulnerability with the Apple Remote Desktop Agent, which allows it to run as root.” Ouch! The trojan is distributed through web sites, iChat, and Limewire. This trojan only effects OS X 10.4 and 10.5.
There are a few ways to protect yourself from this trojan. One, do not download an AppleScript named ASthtv05 (60 KB in size), use sharing services such Limewire, or use a virus scanner such as SecureMac’s MacScan. SvenOnTech does not endorse this product; however, it would recommend it over Norton or McAfee as we have tested those on the Mac and they are horrible.
President of SecureMac, Nicholas Raba, cautions OS X users by telling SvenOnTech, “The increased number of threats, security advisories, and security updates is an indication that Mac users must pay attention to computer security issues. As Apple’s market share continues to grow, so will security research and hack attempts against OS X.”

I find myself always needing to text my team through the day while I sit at my computer. I pull my iPhone off its dock and type out the message. Every time I do it, I wished I could just send the message from my Mac Pro. Well, now I can…kind of.
For me specifically, I can’t since Apple found it necessary not to allow me to easily pair my MacBook Pro and my iPhone; however, others using a Bluetooth enabled phone most likely can. With the Quick-dial and Quick-send plug-in, you open Address Book and click on the number you want to send a text message to (usually the mobile number.) Up opens a window for you to text into and off it transfers to your phone which then sends the message as if it came from the phone. Nice, huh? Ya, real nice.
If you’d rather just call your contact from the Address Book, then select “Dial Number with…” and it’ll dial it up on your non-iPhone phone. This is a really nice trick if you don’t feel like going through your large address book on the phone itself when you can more quickly type the contacts name in the search box of Address Book that comes with OS X.
So for $10, you can add this cool plug-in and be the envy of all iPhone users. After a hiatus from Leopard, it once again works with the latest OS X (10.5.2 and higher). Enjoy, text, dial.
TapeDeck allows you to easily record audio on your Mac from a single source as easily as just pressing that red Record button on the tape deck. You know the recording is happening from the “dancing” meter as well, get this, from the tape moving in the display window. Just like the old days! When you’re all done recording, TapeDeck files your “tape” in a shoe box with your added titles and allows for easy retrieval later by simply clicking on the tape. Very simple, very cool. You can share your recordings via email, send them to iTunes or to Apple TV.
TapeDeck isn’t meant to take sales from sophisticated software like WireTap Studio but rather fill in that little void for a simple to use single-source recordings. For $25, this is a straight up winner in my book. Now excuse me before I release the pause button as I prepare to record “Go” from Def Leppard’s new album, “Songs From The Sparkle Lounge“.
