Hi all,
Just to let you all know the Codeweaver has released Crossover. Now you can install certain Windows programs in your Mac OS X Intel. Try Office XP and it is running fine. Get it here http://www.codeweavers.com/beta/cxmac/ |

Well, you still need someone to authenticate the installation. And the way Mac OS store user sensative info are different from Windows. Someone have to rewrite those spyware in order to steal infos from Mac OS.

Open up Mac OS X - Terminal command prompt and do your usual unix stuff in there (read: Unix Linux Bash) and type 'ifconfig'. You will get what i mean (someday).thanks |

just go into your System Preferences > Networks
If your Mac is connected to router or modem, you will see a Green dot next to your "Ethernet". |

oh ohkay, for your info, if a Yellow dot means the cable is connected but the device on the other end is inactive or not connected. gray dot means no cable connected.
