You *never* know where a long URL is going to take you, no matter
what is in the URL. It is dead simple to create a URL that says
anything, that can take you *anywhere*.
In addition, when someone that you know, such as someone on a
discussion list that has been a member for a while, gives you a tiny
URL, generally you know that they aren't trying to send you somewhere
bad.

I wish that were true, but it isn't always the case. For some reason
that just about never works for me.
e.g.
Here is a link to a Samsung hard drive on Amazon. Is it broken?
<http://www.amazon.com/Samsung- Spinpoint- SATA2-5400rpm- HD204UI/dp/
B0042SGDVG/ref=sr_1_1?s= pc&ie=UTF8& qid=1322784377& sr=1-1>
Also, all e-mail clients don't recognize the brackets around a URL.
Even worse, when newbies copy and paste a URL with brackets into
their Web browser, complete with the brackets, in some Web browsers
the brackets keep the URL from working.

When a poster gives you a link, it is a courtesy to make things

Sorry, I'm not your unpaid assistant. You should be grateful for
what you get, and do your own research work if what you get isn't
good enough for you. Asking for "MORE" all the time from someone who
is doing you a favor evidences a lack of class.

Hi Randy;
No offense intended. I apologize if it seemed that way.
I'm very much appreciative of your efforts here and through your website. I've referred to them many times and have been able to solve many problems through those resources - thank you very much
Coming from the Windows world after many years, I'm still leery of links and have seen many requests for full links in addition to the shortened ones which can be security issue, Just passing that on.
Best regards,
Tim O'Donoghue

Sometimes, you just can't win, but I wonder if the apparent paranoia is
caused by previous use of Windows?

Seems I was right in my previous reply, sent before I read this. ;)
Isn't it a shame and disgrace how much Windows has soured our use of a
great resource?
But Tim, surely Randy has explained that full links are no guarantee or
veracity, regardless of platform? Why did you ever think otherwise?

If you are downloading *pirated software* via torrents, you know who
you are, and you know that what you are doing opens you up to various
nasties. That being the case, you would be best advised to take all
necessary precautions.
But your ordinary Mac user doesn't even know what "torrents" refers to,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ (protocol)BitTorrent_
and they never download anything from a perfectly anonymous source,
and so it is unlikely that they will ever encounter a Mac Trojan Horse.

I understand. In some ways the Macintosh world is quite a bit
different than the Windows world. One of those ways is that Mac
users usually don't display the rampant irrational paranoia that
Windows users do. I've encountered countless Windows users who
refuse to download *any* software, or who refuse to try anything new
(software, setting...anything) on their personal computer for fear
that they will "break it"!!! (I've heard this exact term used
countless times!)
It's easy to see why this is. The Macintosh is much easier to keep
running than a Windows PC. And it is easier to fix if things go wrong.
But much more important than that, there are literally over a MILLION
Windows viruses!!!:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/ 2/hi/technology/ 7340315.stm
Your average unprotected Windows PC running Windows XP, fresh out of
the box, will last only 20 minutes before being infected, once it's
connected to the Internet!
http://www.securityfocus.com/ columnists/ 262
Over 91% of computers running Windows are infected with Spyware!!!

and most of it either never worked to begin with, the Mac OS has been
patched so that it no longer works, or it is very hard to propagate:
http://www.reedcorner.net/guides/ macvirus/ malware_catalog. php
What happens if you have some idiot give you a URL to a malicious Web
site if you are using a Macintosh? Usually nothing. There are very
few malicious Web sites that can harm your Macintosh.

Around noon today, Cupertino time, Apple stated:
"We stopped supporting Carrier IQ with iOS 5 in most of our products and will remove it completely in a future software update. With any diagnostic data sent to Apple, customers must actively opt-in to share this information, and if they do, the data is sent in an anonymous and encrypted form and does not include any personal information. We never recorded keystrokes, messages or any other personal information for diagnostic data and have no plans to ever do so."

Randy (and Otto in sep. reply)
25 years of Microsoft vs. ~2 years with the Mac - old old habits and fears die hard and some just stay with you longer. I'n 100% m converted to Macs now, having replaced a web server, a file server, a photo editing PC aa work laptop and a traveling laptop. I have no intention of going back. If anything, I'm still overcautious by habit now.

Re: Questions on iCloud and Photostream

Bill,
How would I set it up so that my parents could receive selected photo's from me but not my entire Photostream?
Thanks
Jay

Does that work? That has ASCII value 5F, which is *between* upper- and
lower-case alpha.

You can also do that using the export feature. I don't have Pages but that is how it works in Preview. This is more like the Save As command and takes fewer steps than duplicating and saving.

This is bad, because I want to go in there and rename the file that I started on and I can't figure out how to do that without going into Finder and going through all that trouble.

First "Duplicate", which opens a new window with your document, and then "Save", which opens the standard "Save" dialog. You may edit the copy before saving it and both files stay open until you close them.

Article: How to use Save As features in Mac OS X Lion?
http://www.karthikk.net/2011/ 09/how-to- use-save- as-features- in-mac-os-
x-lion/
You can restore the old Save As to Pages and other apps under Lion.
You can create a Service in Lion to restore Save
As... It uses both AppleScript and Automator scripts:
https://discussions.apple.com/ message/16229475 #16229475
You can download the compiled script from here:

It is called "Save_As.workflow.zip"

Re: Screen Flickering Problem & Customer Relations
Posted by: "Bonnie" bonniegaia@mac.com catfootfog

I feel badly for Arjun.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and my MBP 2.66 Ghz i7 (still under warranty, thank goodness) has been taken to the Genius Bar 3 times for the same problem. I have been without it for 5-6 days each time and have had two new logic boards and a new screen. Having the luxury of 3 Apple stores within 20 min driving, I have tried two different Apple stores for repairs. The problem is intermittent, so perhaps it's understandable that they think they have fixed it. When my screen flicker does appear, it occurs about every 9 seconds.
Mine also does other weird things that Arjun doesn't seem to experience:
-- a strange moire pattern like a gilt gauze over the screen
-- very strange, dramatic black and white patterns covering entire screen
-- the desktop suddenly looking as if it has gone through a shredder with any visible text so chopped up it is not recognizably English, etc.
Most frequently, however, I simply get a frozen screen. Sometimes the cursor moves, sometimes it is absent, etc. Oh yes, and a sudden black screen. The sudden black screen occurred, amazingly, when an Apple Genius was looking at it (!! what are the chances of that?) last time it was in.
Each time when the MBP is returned, it seems initially to be OK, but within several hours it is acting up. The odd thing is that I can occasionally go several weeks without a flare-up and then it reverts to the crazy antics. I often have to hard Power Off and On as many as 7 times a day.
If I hadn't been a long time Apple user -- since 1988 --with virtually no problems, I'd be Very Upset with Apple. I fear Arjun's flickering screen problem won't go away without a replacement as even here, near Apple headquarters, they have not been able to fix my issue.
I wish you success, Arjun. Hold out for a replacement. I plan to take mine in yet again soon, and hope that I'll get a replacement.
Good luck!
Bonnie

Merge 2 apple accounts
Posted by: "Beruta Sunaklis" sunaklis@gmail.com bnsun

I have 2 apple accounts - my iTunes account & my MobileMe account - is there any way I can merge them into the one account? When I try to change my iTunes account by using my ...@me.com it tells me that another user is already registered under that account.
Thanks

Does this mean thunderbolt is not backwardly compatible with MiniDisplay ports. I think I will bet the bullet and let my curiosity shoes on
