Time to think about security, again.

We'll ignore Wintendo. Let's talk about the best consumer personal OS: OS X. Truly a beautiful marriage of technical substinance and elegance. But aside from asthetics, we also should not be idle waiting for vunerabilites to hit us. They will. I promise you. Do be complacent. All OS X users should do the following:

1. Run ClamAV OS X or another virus program with updates. For now you can clean the Windows virus off the stupid Word doc your boss sends you. But don't fet your time will come OS X users.
2. Install (and buy) Little Snitch to tell you when software wants to connect and leave your system. AND be mindful of when you grant software a cart blanc to connect.
3. Enable the root account with a strong password. I mean STRONG.
4. Lock down your bluetooth to only accept know devices.
5. The same for your personal Wifi. Lock down your SSID fool!
6. And last for tonight. Lock your workstation when you go pee at Starbucks. How do I do that? I'm glad you asked. I spend 15 minutes trying to remember how I did it. Open Utilities->Keychain Access.app. ->Preferences->'Show Status in Menu Bar'. Now you have a padlock to lock your screen. Enjoy.
