Hmm, "Back To My Mac". Let's see what this... OH, MY GOD, THAT'S DISGUSTING!
Internet Security for Your Macintosh reports (tip o' the antlers to MacJournals News) that Leopard's Back To My Mac feature bypasses local login and will allow full access to a machine it's enabled on solely via the .Mac login and password entered into the .Mac preferences pane.
So, if you lent your mother your .Mac password so she could post her kitty pictures to your Gallery...
...she can see you're looking at porn, dude.
Mythical beast and rumormonger extraordinaire, the Macalope writes about all things Apple for the CNET Blog Network. Read more at The Macalope: An Apple blog. He is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure.
You know, you can just change your .mac password to something more secure
and that no-one else knows...
- Oh noez! Mom stop looking at my porn.

Anyway, I love the "new" header you have. Hadn't seen it before, but it's pretty
amazing. Makes me laugh every time I see it.
