I was using Disco, a Mac Disc Burning software, and I had Little Snitch running on my Mac. It is interesting that Disco is connecting to AppZapper.com whenever it is starting up. I am sure that it is checking for updates, interestingly it is connecting to some other site.
Is this a new way of advertising for the security conscious mind (a.k.a. the Paranoid!)?

John C. Dvorak, in his latest PC Magazine column reveals that he is using a Mac and liking it. This somehow reminds me of the current Trojan Condoms ad, a pig got wings.
Dvorak is perceived as an Apple and Mac basher for a long time. As a regular on Leo Laporte’s “This Week in Tech” Podcast, Dvorak often made crazy comments on both Apple and Macs. For example, Dvorak said in one column that Apple was planning to abandon Mac OS X in favor of Microsoft Windows. (link will be added later)
I found the article from Mac SuperFan Site MacDailyNews to be amusing.
Anyway, to quote Bender The Great:
“OH YOUR GOD!”
p.s. Can’t wait for new Futurama episodes/movies.
