  • Traitorware is sometimes included in products with less obviously malicious intent.
  • Don’t let these good intentions fool you—software that hides itself from you while it gives your personal data away to a third party is dangerous and dishonest.
  • traitorware: devices that act behind your back to betray your privacy.

    It is late but am I excited, you bet I am! I have managed to get the Windows powered assessment and reporting software Accelerus that our school uses running on my OSX laptop. Check out the screenshot below. Was a bit tricky but Google was my friend as I tried out a couple of different ideas. The best guide I found was perhaps this one. It does require a knowledge of partitions and terminal commands but it worked a treat fo me. Along the way, I learned heaps and enjoyed the tinkering. I might have some fun and try to get Ubuntu Linux running again on this computer.

    Sometimes you want to do a little task that really has to be run on Windows or there's no alternative software for Mac, but you don't want to reboot into Bootcamp to do it. And you want to keep Bootcamp, since it lets you run Windows to its potential. Well, VirtualBox can certainly help you ! It's a great piece of freeware that I recently fell in love with.

  • Computational thinking is a fundamental skill for everyone, not just for computer scientists
  • Roland Gesthuizen on 01 Apr 12
     
    "READING, writing and - refactoring code? Many professors of computer science say college graduates in every major should understand software fundamentals. They don't argue that everyone needs to be a skilled programmer. Rather, they seek to teach "computational thinking" - the general concepts programming languages employ."
