Want to learn how to secure your Mac? Or how to sketch with your iPad? Or have an interest in editing your Photos quickly using a variety of iOS Apps? If so, then you'll want to make the time to attend this month's meeting.
With the recent news of the Flashback trojan reportedly infecting more than half a million Mac computers, this month we will present a few topics to help our members secure their Macs and protect themselves from security breaches.
Bob Helmond will be giving a in-depth demonstration of Little Snitch, the software appplication that alerts you anytime there is an outgoing network connection and allows you to block any unwanted connection attempts. This software is so good at what it does, the recent Flashback trojan installer actually was programmed to check to see if Little Snitch was installed on the target machine, and if so, it aborted any attempt to infect that machine.
Next, Jerry Glacken will be giving an overview of best security practices that Macintosh users can employ to better secure their machines and avoid potential infections, unauthorized data access, as well as protect their privacy and security online.
After we get all those serious security topics out of the way, we're going to transition to some fun things you can do with your iPhone or iPad. Bruce Mittelman will be demonstrating five iOS Apps which allow you to quickly and easily edit your photos in a variety of interesting ways. Next, Jen Bissu will be giving a demonstration of the Paper by Fiftythree App for the iPad. Paper by Fiftythree allows you to capture your ideas as sketches, diagrams, illustrations, notes, or drawings and easily share them across the Web.
Finally, we'll end the meeting with a few informational topics. Jen Bissu will give another installment of "3 Things You Should Know" which offers the best tips, tricks, and news that every Apple user needs to know. And Louis Perez returns with his ever popular "Magical Mystery Tour of the Web" which presents a plethora of interesting Web sites pertaining to a central topic. This month's tour will focus on the "Bucket List" - Web sites you need to visit before you die!
As always, it's sure to be a fun filled and information packed meeting! So come on out, meet new people, have some fun, and most importantly, learn something new! Hope to see everyone there!
