As production Mac Pros have been replaced with new iMacs and even the Mac mini, IT departments are looking for creative ways to repurpose som ……         Continue reading

Developer-signed Mac spyware found on Angolan activist’s computer

Previously unknown Mac OS X spyware, signed with a valid Apple Developer ID, has turned up on the laptop of an activist from Angola at a human rights conference in Norway. Security researcher and privacy activist Jacob Appelbaum found the spyware on the activist’s Mac at the Oslo Freedom Forum earlier this week. The activist’s computer was compromised as a result of a spear phishing attack, Appelbaum said Thursday on Twitter . The researcher claims that he has copies of the attack emails and two different malware samples. Security researchers from Finnish antivirus firm F-Secure analyzed one of the malware samples and concluded that it is a previously unknown Mac backdoor program which appears to be signed with a valid Apple Developer ID.

CW Strikes Deal with Apple to Bring Content to Apple TV

The CW has struck a deal that will bring the network’s content to the Apple TV, reports Deadline . At the company’s annual Upfront Presentation in New York today, CW president Mark Pedowitz announced that the CW’s  TV Now applications, which are currently available on Xbox 360 and Windows 8, will be coming to the Apple TV as well. “This year we’re reaching more viewers on more platforms,” said Pedowitz, speaking of the deal. “We are reaching our audience everywhere they are, and we want you to be with us everywhere we go,” he went on to say to advertisers at the event. The CW told MacRumors that the app will function similarly to the company’s Xbox and mobile apps and confirmed that it will indeed be an app located on the Apple TV’s home screen. It’s a dedicated CW app that will work like our Xbox and mobile and tablet apps – no cable authentication required, full episodes of our shows available next day after air, ad-supported. The CW’s TV Now app for the Xbox offers free full streaming episodes of network shows like The Vampire Diaries with limited advertising. The app also includes additional content like previews and cast extras. Currently, Apple sells CW content through its iTunes store. While the Apple TV offers apps and digital content from sites like Netflix and Hulu, it does not include apps from television networks. The partnership between the CW and Apple will mark the first network television app available via the Apple TV. It is unclear if the CW’s app is part of a larger initiative by Apple to bring additional apps to the Apple TV. The CW is a joint venture between Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS, one of the biggest U.S. broadcast networks. According to the CW, the app is set to launch in the coming weeks, though no exact release date was given.         Continue reading
