Mac Apps: Disco and AppZapper

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!)?

Dell Takes This Blog Seriously

First off, the blog post was from a while ago. Still it was amusing the fact that Dell PR machines actually left comments to “defend” their products.

Second, Vondiggity (the blogger) is a close friend of mine and we’ve been talking a lot about Dell PR comments. We’ve been having good laugh about it.

I do not know for sure if the comment is actually made by Dell PR people, I haven’t checked their IP addresses yet. Anyway, it is funny how one small rant about the new Dell line actually attracted their PR people to respond. They are pretty defensive about it, given that it’s their job.

Read it here, and don’t forget to read the comment too.
