Skype Spam Message

I got this message from Skype today. This is the second message I’ve gotten about a virus on my PC (yes, I am on my Mac). The link for the “fix” has been removed for the safety of PC users everywhere. If you get one of these messages, DO NOT click the link. It is problably worse than whatever your “PC” has.

TextEdit Icon Text

Have you ever wondered what the icon in Mac OS X’s TextEdit says? I did too. So, here it is.

Dear Kate,

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. But they have no respect for status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vivify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things.

Take Care,

John Appleseed

Polling: Favorite Mouse

What is your favorite mouse? Do you have a special mouse, or do you use the one that came with your computer? Do you like one? Two? Scroll wheel? Scroll ball? Post a comment with your choice!

Comments close May 15, then I will post my favorite mice.

My Favorite Mice:

3. Apple USB Pro Mouse

This was Apple’s mouse before they introduced the Mighty Mouse. It is shaped just like the Mighty Mouse, but it’s clear and has only one button. They no longer make this mouse.

2. Apple USB Mighty Mouse

Most people know what this one is. It has two buttons with a scroll ball in the middle, which allows for 360˚ scrolling and is also a button. Squeeze the mouse to activate the fourth button.

1. Things Remembered Silver-Plated Mouse

This mouse has a more traditional mouse shape. My dad won this one and it has his name engraved in the back.
