How many icons will you need on your dock for the Microsoft Office Suite? 5.
For iLife? 6 icons.
For iWork? 3 icons!
The aim of these Dock applications launchers is to reduce clutters in your dock.
Each of them is less than 100 kb and they use 0% of your CPU active or idle.
Intuitive to use: right click on them and you’ll see the entire series Applications:

ARD Patcher is a free utility that patches the infamous ARDAgent exploit in Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5.
This is a fix to the exploit found a few days ago in Apple Remote Desktop.
It was an opportunity for Antivirus companies to push people installing their softwares in their Macintosh (business is business hehehe).
The software is also useful to test your Mac and see if it’s secure or not (as you can see in the screenshots below):
Portable Adium is the multiprotocol Adium instant messaging client (that can connect to AIM, MSN, Jabber, Yahoo, Facebook and more) packaged as portable application.
As a result, you’ll be able to carry around with you on any portable device, USB thumb drive, iPod, portable hard drive, memory card, other portable device (also on your internal hard disk).
All you need are 50 MB of free space and use on any Mac OS X computer, taking your conctact list, emoticons, message stiles, plugins, scripts, sound and users with you.
Adium application, preference file and profile folder are inside the bundle:
Portable Adium.app/Contents/Resources/app/
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on the Mac, one of the applications I use the most.
Still the same interface as Acrobat 8.
Very easy to handle with its big and easy to recognize buttons; the icon on the dock is a bit darker than the previous one.
Acrobat 9 is also bigger (more than 1 giga of HD space) than the previous version (800 mb approx).
The upgrade from version 8 is $159; it also comes bundled with the new released Adobe Creative Suite 3.3 (upgrade from CS3 is $159). But it loads much faster than the previous version, it’s very impressive indeed… I even thought I was launching the reader so much it was strange.
Anyway; the main new feature in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro is the inclusion of Flash support, enhanced collaboration tools like PDF Portfolios, and improved print production tools.

I’m so proud to see the MacAmour blog now in the Mac AllTop referencing website!
We’re at the bottom I know, but it’s ordered by date of addition.
You’d answer: “download and install the update”? Too easy!!!
Here are the steps I followed to make it.
2 important updates by their sizes and number of bug fixes improving stability, performances and general compatibility for the Microsoft Office suite.
Office 2004 goes 11.5.0 (45 Mb), Office 2008 updated to version 12.1.1 (153 Mb) and the new Open XML documents converter 1.0 (45 Mb).
NB: before installing the Office 2008 update, you gotta make sure you have version 12.1.0 installed. Yes… No combos for Microsoft Updates.
This 2007 copyrighted Apple page is what I get when I try to login to my .mac account, Apple is probably working on the transition to Mobile Me.
We’ll see after the “normal service” gets restored.
To be Continued…
Hidden behind a Poker Game, this Trojan has been discovered by Intego.
PokerStealer is its name, this Trojan comes in the shape of a Poker game; it contains a shell script that will asks you for your password pretending it will fix a preferences file in your system.
Once started, PokerStealer will activate SSH on your Mac and will send to a distant server your IP address, your ID and your password.
Then, a Pirate will use these datas to connect to your Mac: erase files, control your computer and do whatever he wants to do!
