A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 122. Today’s show will be a bit of a story, but in the telling I hope you get some insight into the process and procedures that I go through when my Mac starts acting up. I’m not saying these are necessarily the best or correct procedures, but they are simply an example of a typical path I might take.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 120. There has been a lot of talk about Apple security with the recent exposure of the Flashback.K trojan targeting the Mac. The news has also raised awareness about privacy and security concerns for Apple users surrounding apps and web services. I thought now would be a great time to have a talk about the things we should all be doing to better protect ourselves.
