A friend has sent you a link to the following article: http://mac360.com/index.php/mac360/comments/1423/ Windows PC vs. Mac. Vista vs. Leopard. These are the daily arguments which gets juices flowing, and make the day go by faster. Last week I heard the ultimate argument for choosing Leopard over Vista. Leopard is the ultimate porn watching computer. I’m not making this up. It’s a serious issue. Not only is this an argument which has popped up in more than a few offices in town, all the details you could imagine are contained in a PC comic strip. Generally speaking, most offices with PCs or Macs ban access to online pornography. That doesn’t stop Mac or Windows users from finding new ways to get an eyeful on company time. After all, once you’re connected to the internet, your computer starts to leave breadcrumbs that can be traced right back to you. Or, at least, traced back to your computer. People being what they are, seriously afflicted with eyes and less than discriminating tastes, have devised various means to use their Macs or PCs to view, uh, well, should I say, photographs of scantily clad men and women in various, uh, um, poses. Yeah, that’s it. Poses. What happens when such a common behavior meets with reality? Mac or PC? Leopard or Vista? Which is better at viewing those sites and photos so often banned in office and home settings? {embed=“360adserver/content_rectangle”}According to The Joy of Tech, it’s Leopard that tops Vista as the ultimate guide to online sensual pleasure viewing. How so? you might ask? Think about the basic new features contained in Mac OS X Leopard. Then think of how they can be put to use to create the ultimate adults-only section of your Mac. For example, Quick Look. Wherever you’ve collected your tawdry 24 bit color photographs Quick Look is there for a quickie look. Hit the space bar, and the image is literally thrust into your face on the Mac screen. Use the right arrow key to walk your eyeballs through the rest of your collection, without opening any tell-tale application. Discriminating Mac users prefer Safari as the web browser of choice. The Private Browsing feature helps to reduce the breadcrumbs that could bring the Network Gestapo back to your cubicle. Spaces anyone? You Mac can have multiple desktops for various applications. Space #1 for browsing and email, Space #2 for Microsoft Office, Space #3 for iTunes and iPhoto. Space #4 for all your photos of lovely ladies and not so lovely guys. With Spaces, you’re just a click away from looking totally legitimate. Time Machine is the simple darling of the new features crowd but works in the background to save your stash of quality photographs from the dark side of cyberspace. So, your wife found your photo collection and deleted them all, huh? Time Machine keeps copies and brings them back to life—so to speak. Leopard comes with a Guest Account. What that truly means is ultimate privacy. Surf the web using Safari in a guest account on your Leopard equipped Mac. When you log out, Leopard purges the account and all files, which removes any trace you were even in the room. I could go on, but you get the idea. Leopard was indeed made for viewing photos and movies which you won’t find on America’s Funniest Videos. You Tube? Maybe. All the details you need to know about how Leopard is so much better than Windows Vista for surreptitious online viewing is available from The Joy of Tech. Oh, the joys of a digital life. Oh.
