I get a lot of questions about how to get videos onto your iPhone or iPod or iPad or iMac or what i-have-you. There’s actually a really easy way to do this, and it has an added bonus of letting you get your current DVD library stored on your Mac. Outside of potentially saving space in your house, it has the benefit of having all your movies instantly available, and if you connect to a large display or a TV, well, that’s pretty darn convenient. Movies, much like music, are one of those things where a strong argument can be made for letting your computing devices take over. Saves you space, and makes it a great deal easier to find what you want.
Security basics
Lets be clear: if you have a computer, security is an issue. I could go further and say that if you are alive security is an issue, but lets stay out of any such lofty philosophical attempts.
Instead, let me explain – I say this because one of the most common questions, and one of the most temperature raising debates in geek gatherings, is the good old: Do Macs get viruses? (One could say: ‘Do Macs get virii?’ but while sounding cool they would also be wrong.) Laying aside the literal answer for the moment (no) allow me to point out that what’s really being asked there is: Is my Mac secure?
Hence the first sentence of this piece.
