Apple Releases iChat Update 1.0

On the fourth day of 2007 Apple releases the first update to Mac OS X. That’s 5 days before Steve Jobs’ Keynote at MacWorld San Francisco 2007. While it seems there’s nothing extra-ordinary on the update, one could only wonder if there’s some kind of significance with Apple’s upcoming releases to be announced at MacWorld.

LogMeIn Client now Supported in Mac OS X

UPDATE (01.27.2007):
For some reasons LogMeIn Client stops working properly on Mac OS X.
I figured out why it’s not working. I’m going to write in the details with all the glorious screen captures on my site: http://37prime.com/

Back in March 2006, I wrote a little review on LogMeIn. Previously, I was using GoToMyPC to help a friend. I first heard about LogMeIn on Leo Laporte Radio Show on KFI AM640. I tried out LogMeIn Free because it was totally free. I liked it with one exception, there was no client support on Mac OS X at that time.

Fast forward to January 2nd, 2007. My friend’s father who lives 270-something miles away had a problem with his computer. By chance, we had LogMeIn Free installed on his computer. While talking to him on the phone, I logged on to LogMeIn website and proceeded to control his computer. I then realized that I was using Safari on Mac OS X 10.4.8 and it was working. I didn’t know when exactly LogMeIn added Mac OS X compatibility. I told my friend about it, but he was having authentication problems when using Firefox 2 on his Mac.

Anyway, I am really glad that now LogMeIn Client is now working on Mac OS X. I can now convince my other friend to switch to LogMeIn Free from GoToMyPC since he’s only using basic remote desktop function.
