Little Snitch 2.0

Speaking of user-friendly firewall software, Objective Development (the crew behind LaunchBar) has released Little Snitch 2.0:

Little Snitch informs you whenever a program attempts to establish an outgoing Internet connection. You can then choose to allow or deny this connection, or define a rule how to handle similar, future connection attempts. This reliably prevents private data from being sent out without your knowledge.

I don’t run Little Snitch all the time, but when I want it, I’m glad it’s there.

Apple KnowledgeBase Article on Leopard
Application Firewall

This makes it easier for non-experts to gain the benefits of firewall protection and helps prevent undesirable applications from taking control of network ports that have been opened for legitimate applications.

Via MacSecure.

I’m reluctant to link to it tonight because it’s apparently already blown past its API allotment from Twitter, but it’s too cool not to. Foamee is a new web app by Dan “SimpleBits” Cederholm that “helps track who you owe beers to (and vice versa)”. What’s novel is that the whole thing is built on top of Twitter. I’m not sure it’s going to work out, but it’s a damn clever idea.

How Come Aperture Gets to Have All the Fun

post from Daring Fireball on 08 November 2007 10:23:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

These screenshots from Bryan Bell indicated that Aperture somehow invokes the non-translucent Leopard menu bar. Can any app do this, and can it be turned on globally?

MLB shut down the DRM server because they’ve changed suppliers, and now they expect suckers to buy downloads of games in the new DRM format.
