Collection of use­ful, rel­ev­ant or inane places on the the Internets for 23rd Oct:

  • Yellow Dots of Mystery: Is Your Printer Spying on You? — Your printer IS spy­ing on you — micro­dots identify your printer. EFF pub­li­cises secret fea­ture about your laser printer and how every page is “signed” by the printer.
  • iTerm: Download — New Version of iTerm for Mac OS X is avail­able. Make sure you select the “Recent bin­ary build from CVS (0.9.6.1021, English only)”.
  • The Ferret’s Corner: Training — The Ferret has some good com­ments on Rack Rentals from IPExpert and Internetwork Expert. If you are con­sid­er­ing which vendor, this is worth read­ing. Note also www​.ccie4u​.com, www​.ccie2b​.com are offer­ing online rack rentals.
  • Is the New MacBook Expensive? | Technologizer — Harry McCracken con­cludes the new MacBooks, WHEN com­pared to Windows machines with the SAME SPECIFICATIONS, is about the same in cost.This is my exper­i­ence. While my MacBook Pro cost a lot of cash, it was cheaper than an equi­val­ent Dell, IBM, HP note­book. My view — Apple is offer­ing premium product, with premium sup­port and at premium price. I am good with that.

    Corollary : Want a cheap product, with cheap sup­port ? Buy a lower spe­cific­a­tion Dell /​ HP /​ IBM with Windows.

  • SourceForge​.net: Files — Point ver­sion release of Wireshark. There are no big fixes in this, but upgrade buffs may want to down­load it.
