Re: Security Update 2011-005 available

[cm]

According to the linked AppleInsider article, the update removes DigiNotar from 
the list of trusted root certificates, because multiple certificate authorities 
operated by DigiNotar have been issuing fraudulent certificates.

http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/09/09/apple_releases_mac_os_x_security_update_2011_005_to_stop_certificate_fraud.html

I suspect the update will also tidy up a few other loose ends because it seems 
to be larger than required to do only the above.

Cheers,
Carlo

Re: What's the go with JB Hi Fi selling Macs with Snow Leopard ?

[Stuart Evans]

Hi Adrian,

Macpriceaustralia isn’t an official apple web site and it you look at the
stores they don’t list everyone. It’s just a general list of retailers that
are participating in a cheapest price competition. We’ve been an Apple
authorised reseller (Retail, Education, Government) for 8 years (an
AppleCentre up to 3 years ago) and an Apple authorised service centre in
Albany and more recently Bunbury. We’re not listed on that site at all.
Neither is Mike (Macworx) at Joondalup and he’s been around longer then we
have.

JB HiFi, Dick Smith, Harvey Norman, Target, Big W and so on are mostly “box
droppers” because their sales staff are mostly casuals. Good deals and
sometimes they sell below cost but as Ronni said, you get what you pay for -
which is the box, little advice, all care, but no responsibility  ;-).
We don’t mind because sooner or later customers need help, advice, service
and support and that is what we excel at.


Cheers,
Stuart

Re: What's the go with JB Hi Fi selling Macs with Snow Leopard ?

[Adrian Skehan]

Hi Ronni,

Yes I got that, but I don't profess to understand whats going on with them.  I 
have been in their city, (great coffee shop near it) Malaga and a couple of 
their Melbourne stores, all of them had a wide range of Mac products including 
iPods, iPad, iMac, MacBook and Apple branded accessories and they talk like 
they are authorised to sell the full range. I just thought the site was 
interesting in terms of who sold what, however, I would not shop there for a 
Apple anything.


Regards,


Adrian

Re: What's the go with JB Hi Fi selling Macs with Snow Leopard ?

[Stuart Evans]

Hi Steven / Ronni,

The reseller program can be a bit tricky. JB Hi-Fi are an authorised
reseller but I don’t know if that is for all locations. I would assume if
they have stock it is because they are authorised. That doesn’t mean you get
any advice! Another example, not all Dick Smith stores are authorised to
sell Apple, however if a customer comes in and wants to buy “off the
catalogue” apparently they can order it in. Which is disappointing when you
have an Apple “authorised” store in a town like Albany  ;-)A good
reseller (and I might know one or two!) would have directed the customer to
the right place to get their upgrade.

In regard to why snow leopard, all Apple authorised resellers would be
holding stock of Macs with Snow Leopard due to the timing of announcements
and orders in the pipeline.Places like JB would have a warehouse probably!
Apple used to give us “drop in” disks when there was an upgrade. Then it
became a “pay for a disk” upgrade. At least now there is a free upgrade
through up to date programs.

Steve – your sister-in-law need to go to this page;

http://www.apple.com/au/macosx/uptodate/

They did originally have an expiration date of 19th August but I believe
there was a complaint that this was against trade practices.


Cheers,
Stuart

Your link only shows the JB Hi Fi city store as: iPod Authorised Reseller there

JB HI Fi are listed as Official Apple Retail Stores at

Re: What's the go with JB Hi Fi selling Macs with Snow Leopard ?

Postcode 6154, Ronni. JB Hi Fi not listed, so short of Apple's website not 
being up to date looks like the sister-in-law may have to lump it. I'll suggest 
they give Apple a call.

Re: How do I make a server think I'm in a particular location ?

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Steven,

You are treading on unsafe ground here! I'm hesitant to post, so anything below 
is taken completely at YOUR RISK!

 You have to Google for "free http proxy", some of the lists you get as a 
result classify geographically the proxies, find one of those and then choose a 
US located proxy.

Afterwards set your browser to use as HTTP proxy your selected proxy (what are 
the steps to do this depends on the browser you use). Some proxies work better 
than others and some just don't plain work with some big traffic sites, so you 
might have to try a few (unless you get a trusted proxy from a friend or 
company.)

BEWARE that all your received and submitted data could be stored and even 
modified in transit by a malicious proxy, you cannot trust at all the data 
received, or that the other party has received the data as you have sent it.

None of the above is recommended by me and I take no responsibility!

Re: What's the go with JB Hi Fi selling Macs with Snow Leopard ?

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Steven,

You get what you pay for from places like JB Hi Fi, I don't think they are an 
Apple Authorised Reseller. I did a search of JB Hi Fi online & if this is the 
iMac she purchased it clearly states "Snow Leopard".


You need to go to
< http://www.apple.com/au/buy/>  (upper-right corner) and enter the postcode of 
the JB-Hifi  she went to and see what comes up for the resellers – noting the 
different types of resellers.

[Steven Knowles]

My sister-in-law bought an iMac from JB Hi Fi on 6 September 2011. Somewhere in 
Perth. It came with 10.6.8 installed.

What's the go there? Surely resellers should be selling Macs with Lion 
pre-installed now? Shouldn't she have received Lion install disks, not Snow 
Leopard?

She hasn't gone back to JB Hi Fi yet, I said I'd try to find out what should 
have happened first, or whether that's just how it is.

Cheers, Steven

How do I make a server think I'm in a particular location ?

[Steven Knowles]

Anybody know how I can make a server think I'm somewhere other than where I 
really am (geographically speaking)?

Say I need to post something to a website which allows me to post only if I'm 
within a particular country (not necessarily the same country as the website's 
server). I assume my internet service provider provides details of my 
geographical location to the server. Is there any way of stopping the provision 
of this information? Or better still, providing an IP address for the country I 
want the server to think I'm in?

I suppose somebody's going to tell me it's a breach of some code or law, I'm 
pleading ignorance, but it's all above board - just some dumb technical hoop I 
need to jump through.

Cheers, Steven

Re: Junk Mail - new type

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Matt,
It's called "spoofing".
Spoofing is the "forgery" of an address, to hide the identity of the sender, 
and is usually done by an Automatic Spamming system, that blindly and randomly, 
runs through addresses in sequence.
It's not actually coming from or thru your account. (see in your sent folder)
One type that's called "Self Spamming"--(go figure)--appears to be coming 
"from" and going "to" the same address.

Anti-spam experts sayThere's nothing you can do, except delete them 
(unopened of course). They are a nuisance, but harmless and don't last long.
Don't spam them--you'd only be spamming your own address.

The Return Path in your Spam email is a common one:
  Return-Path:  <0-2545082-627-833-cf2b2...@australia.care2.com>


Spoofing is explained here:
E-mail spoofing

Junk Mail - new type

[Matt Falvey]

Hi I just received a new type of junk mail, that passed straight through the 
mail filters.  When I checked to see why, I saw that it was sent from me to me! 

So who ever sent it, it was entitled, "Part-Time Work", had managed to use my 
own email address to somehow send it to me, when I opened it, it even had my 
own photo attached to the message.  

I opened the Message>Long Headers and there was 

Return-Path:<0-2545082-627-833-cf2b2...@australia.care2.com>

Received:   from nskntingx07p.mx.bigpond.com ([95.76.213.197]) by

None of which I understand.
  
But how can the Spammer make it seem to originate from me?  And how do I go 
about blocking it without blocking me?

Thanks

Matt
