Snow Leopard 10.6 has a Problem!

That could be serious. If you have Guest access allowed on your Mac and you update to Snow Leopard you could ***lose access to your own data***! It happens when some uses the Guest login.

If you do have Guest access enabled:
-Backup up everything now
-Turn off Guest access ( It is in the System Preferences in the Accounts area )
-Use a limited user account for guests

This was done using the blend-if mode of combining exposures. I have been playing with it, using a blurred mask, and the HDR functions in Photoshop on images. It appears that the method depends totally on the image.

iPhone 3.0

The newest update to iPhone software is out and it is worth the effort for sure. Go get it. But...

I'm pretty much underwhelmed..
-syncing notes - about time, should have been in 1.0
-copy/paste - about time, should have been in 2.0
-voice memos - nice but aren't there a bunch of those already?
-some other stuff doesn't work on my original iPhone

Universal search is nice and again wasn’t it expected in 2.0? The version of search they put into the address book then was pretty lame.

Don’t get me wrong the iPhone is the best cell phone I’ve had but the hype is amazing.
