      <outline text="Questions about a stolen Mac">
        <outline text="1- Why doesn't Apple support biometrical based login protocols?">
          <outline text="As long as the system can be booted externally this wouldn't necessarily protect it."/>
        </outline>
        <outline text="2- Can a thief get into a computer which is password protected at the sleep prompt? If so how easy is it to hack into password protected files in MS or Adobe format?">
          <outline text="No, and these are fairly easy to crack."/>
        </outline>
        <outline text="3- Why doesn't Apple support folder password protection?">
          <outline text="They do in a way with encrypted disk images."/>
        </outline>
        <outline text="4- Why doesn't Apple record periodic logging into their network of any apple devices. Apple could compare these devices serial numbers against a database of stolen hardware?">
          <outline text="This would be a costly thing for Apple to manage and maintain and it's really not their responsibility."/>
        </outline>
        <outline text="5- Why doesn't Apple enable remote lock of computers and other devices once they are located on a network and you've proved ownership? Somehow, we need to deter theft by disabling all components on a computer rendering it useless.">
          <outline text="They do on the iPhone, so maybe a remote wipe or lock for Macs could be enabled in the future."/>
        </outline>
        <outline text="6- Couldn't we enable any web-cam embedded on a computer to remotely record once the hardware has been compromised by theft or loss?">
          <outline text="There are 3rd party apps for this."/>
          <outline text="Undercover" MediaLinks="orbicule.com/mac &lt;http://www.orbicule.com/undercover/mac/&gt;"/>
        </outline>
        <outline text="7- Why wouldn't Apple build in a secure application available on all computers to store sensitive information?">
          <outline text="They have 2 options. Secure Disk Images and Keychain Access Secure notes"/>
          <outline text="Also great 3rd Party apps like">
            <outline text="1Password" MediaLinks="agilewebsolutions.com &lt;http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password&gt;"/>
          </outline>
        </outline>
        <outline text="8- Can a Mac user delete all calendar and contact from an account which has been compromised by the loss a computer?">
          <outline text="Not that I am aware of. Again this would be a nice feature to enable with .Mac"/>
        </outline>
        <outline text="Reality is that most crooks are going to wipe the system and data and resell the system. Some identity theft might occur.">
          <outline text="Once they have access to the hardware, even if it's deleted (wiped), encrypted, etc. It can potentially be accessed you can just make it harder to get to."/>
          <outline text="It would have to connect to the internet to track or phone home"/>
          <outline text="Apple does offer FileVault whole Mac encryption built-in and you can set a firmware password (utilities on OS X SL DVD)."/>

      <outline text="New vs. Unplayed in iTunes">
        <outline text="This one always confuses me and it was causing trouble for Petter"/>
        <outline text="New is a brand new. As in hasn't been listened to or watched yet. Once you play to even a second, either on your iPod or in iTunes, it's no longer &quot;new&quot;."/>
        <outline text="Unplayed hasn't been played all the way to the end, or hasn't upped the play count. It will show a full or partial &quot;blue dot&quot;."/>

      <outline text="Windows virtualization vs. Bootcamp">
        <outline text="Rick wants to know my opinions on stability, security, efficiency, cost, etc."/>
        <outline text="Stability, should be similar on both, yet in Bootcamp a crash could require a reboot vs. a simple restart of the app."/>
        <outline text="Security, again similar in either case if it's compromised you can always re-create the image"/>
        <outline text="Efficiency, Bootcamp will allow you to maximize resources."/>
        <outline text="Cost, both you have to buy Windows. The additional cost of VMWare or Parallels. USD $80"/>
        <outline text="Really comes down to your reason for needing to run Windows.">
          <outline text="Intensive resource heavy apps or hardware access is likely better under Bootcamp"/>
          <outline text="Occasional use and light requirements. Copy, paste, etc. Visualization should be fine."/>
