Objective Development´s Little Snitch got updated to prevent the application from being "killed" in OS X Tiger (10.4) or being manipulated using GUI scripting. Check Little Snitch release notes for details.

Based on the Mozilla source code. Flock takes a twist in the browser game, fresh new interface and a growing group of developers supporting it. So speaking of rendering, ease of use and security the user will have to deal with Mozilla standards, but Flock developers stir things up for a big shot(Flock-Roadmap).

Get Flock and see for yourself if this new project in reorganizing the Mozilla code will outlive the other competitors in the browser game. The start looks very energetic, lets hope they can keep up that pace.

First of all, I do not like WOW. I hated the hype around this game from second one. I never tried this game, I dislike most of the people playing it, as it´s the same people telling you Unreal Tournament, America´s Army or Return to Castle Wolfenstein are bad and gory while busy grinding their battle axes in some WOW realm.

Blizzard, which is the company selling the game, is known for taking sometimes quite harsh actions against cheaters, put a new twist in todays spyware discussions as WOW is reported to scan the machine its running on, for other running apps, windows names and processes. In Greg Hoglund´s Blog(link) the fire was started as he reported the spyware problems first. - BTW though its all concerning the Windows Version of WOW in the blog and discussions, I take it for granted that Mac version(s) are affected as well since Blizzard wouldnt let Mac users cheat but fight cheating on Windows. Plus, The EULA which is the same for all platforms informs you of the spying anyway , so if you actually play this game it´s all your fault as you accepted the nosy app by agreeing to the EULA.

No whining please, read before clicking and you are fine.

You didnt notice already? Well, as they keep things up nicely in front its no wonder most people didnt notice the heavy changes behind the scenes. Current versions of the filesharing app which use the gnutella decentralised network do already alarm the user not to download material of a questionable source. As reported here (link) future versions wont allow users to share material without a proper license.
It seems as MIs fight against illigal distribution gains momentum, but looking again it only spoils companys who run a business on filesharing as open source applications to use the gnutella network do exist and are very commonly used already.
So in fact Limewires switch to controlling the content shared with the application is the first step towards its end, just like Napster and other companys. BTW its about the same with the end of the eDonkey client, the client is dead but the network is still there and open source solutions like MLdonkey are still around to quench the filesharers thirst for warez.
