Tim Cook announced the passing of Steve Jobs a few hours ago. The world has lost a great visionary, creative genius, and the greatest man that changed everyone’s lives. Say what you will about Steve Jobs, but you can’t deny the fact that Steve Jobs has “touched” your life, in more ways than ever. My deepest condolences to his immediate family and friends of Steve Jobs. May you, Steven Paul Jobs, rest in peace.

Team,

I have some very sad news to share with all of you. Steve passed away earlier today.

Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

We are planning a celebration of Steve’s extraordinary life for Apple employees that will take place soon. If you would like to share your thoughts, memories and condolences in the interim, you can simply email rememberingsteve@apple.com.

No words can adequately express our sadness at Steve’s death or our gratitude for the opportunity to work with him. We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much.

Tim

Do you really think Mac OS X is safe from viruses and hacks? Well, Patrick Dunstan, famous for his article back in 2009 “Cracking Mac OS X passwords“, has found a security flaw within your Mac OS X Lion that essentially allows non-root users to easily view and extract the SHA512 hash using Directory Services (dscl command).

After getting the SHA512 hash, you can basically use your regular brute-force techniques to discover the user password. I’ve tried it out personally, so I know it works.

Interesting? Indeed. Check out his full article - Cracking OS X Lion Passwords.

 

Remember iTwin, the secured wireless usb cable that connects 2 computers together? Last year, it was only available on the PC. iTwin just recently released a Mac version that supports Mac OS X Lion (10.7) and Snow Leopard (10.6). If you’ve bought an iTwin before, you don’t need to buy another one, just download the iTwin software for Mac and everything will just work. Yes, you can even connect a PC to a Mac too with iTwin.
