    ifoAppleStore reports that Apple has started using new boxes for retail versions of OS X (as seen above in this picture taken by ifoApple). The new box is very similar to the iLife '06 and .mac packaging. I, for one, applaud Apple for using smaller packing since I just toss the boxes (and that can't be good for the environment).[via The Apple Blog]

  • Is Spotlight spying on you?

    I'm not sure what the Mac Observer's John Kheit has on his hard drives, and I am not sure I want to know. He seems a little too worried about the metadata that built in OS search tools like Spotlight, or its Windows counterpart, are storing as a matter of course.All kidding aside, the fact that many more files are now storing metadata is something every computer user should be aware of to avoid many issues. Give John's column a read and then become paranoid about what your files know about you.
