Recently I had someone ask me a question I wanted to share with you. They asked me why in the heck their IP address appeared to be coming from the other side of the country? Honestly, I can understand why this would freak someone out! Imagine not understanding what is going on as you do an IPChicken.com check only to see the IP looking odd. Then you run a speed test and learn you're suddenly based in another region of the country. I mean come on, that is just going to feel weird to the uninformed.

To developers building tools on top of the Twitter platform, they know tweets contain far more information than just whatever brief, passing thought you felt the urge to share with your friends via the microblogging network. A tweet is filled with metadata - information about when it was sent, by who, using what Twitter application and so on.

One of the most popular bits of code around the Macworld offices is Dropbox . We've made videos about it, we've written about how to get more out of it, we've reviewed programs that take advantage of it, and we've even given it an Eddy award. But we've never reviewed Dropbox itself. So with Dropbox 1.0 for Mac officially released, it's about time we did. And given that it's free (more on that below), it's about as good a candidate for Mac Gems as there is.

One of the difficulties students have in introductory computer science courses is understanding the dynamic complexities of several computer science basics. One reason that students have difficulty grasping these fundamental concepts is that these basics are processes, which textbooks and lectures cannot always adequately demonstrate.

In this article I want to help kick start your own development on the App Store, and I hope it's encouraging for you that I myself went from having zero apps to having 20 approved and on sale in the space of just over a year and a half.

I have spent a lot of time throughout the years researching and collecting facts and stimulus materials on the topic of Computer Viruses. Recently when I was watching my regular TED talk on my phone I watched this talk by Mikko Hypponen. I found it fascinating for the way in which he not only explores and shows some of the history of viruses but also talks of the social and ethical implications of the contemporary viruses being releases. He explores the use of viruses from a cyber-crime and organised-crime perspective.

While online services like Dropbox may be the most convenient options, there are plenty of reasons you may want to "roll your own cloud" and sync your files to your own web server or just on your local network. 

This would be a great story to use in any course on computer/internet ethics to spark discussion and do some research on keeping your resources secure.

External hard-disk or USB drive attached to a system running on OSX is vulnerable, as it could be accessed through other user-profiles easily. Apart from that, if the network file sharing feature is enabled, the external storage device could be accessed by anyone having the authority to get logged into the network.
