If you are serious about security you will need to have a firewall in place. A firewall protects your computer from communications that are oftenmalicious and compromise the security of your Mac. Normally you start and stop the Firewall from System Preferences > Security > Firewall. This is where you can change your Firewall settings. You can also add and remove services to thisfirewall through the sharing preference pane. The problem this is that you have no way of changing the port numbers or blocking specific ports as you would on a Windows or Mac system. Thankfully you can with a small program called NoobProof and its more advance version WaterRoof.

I like MacUpdate. I’ve mentioned them a couple of times over the last couple of months. If you can cast your mind back I did a post on the parallels software bundle. This was a big bundle that enables you to have big savings on a lot of software. Anyway, the team have put together another bundle. This time its a back to school bundle. Back to school is the worst words in the words for any child to hear, but for use it gives us chance to save some money and get great software at the same time.

You could store this on paper or in an spreadsheet. These are less than ideal, since they are insecure and not very pleasing to use. What you need is a simple to use program to store all of this information.

It is really funky and an interesting way of keeping your desktop interesting and dynamic. I really enjoy having it on my desktop. It livens things up a bit.

Quite a while ago I mentioned of Keycue. Keycue is the application that can show you every single shortcut for your current program at the press of the button. I really like this program and I use it all of the time. This post is to alert you to the fact that this program is up for sale on MacPromo. This means that you can get this app for only $15, normally priced at $30.

If you have a new or old Mac, you may want to test out is memory. Although you will not need to do this every single day, once in a while is a good idea. Currently there are three applications out there that can do this for you. I am going to focus on one application. The three applications are Apples Memory Test, Memtest and Rember.
