LaCie brings Lightscribe to the rest of us

LaCie announced today that they now offer a complete Lightscribe solution for all platforms. That means now Mac OS X and even Linux users can write labels to Lightscribe media with Lightscribe drives. Lightscribe is a technology that allows you to etch silk screen quality images on the label side of CD/DVD media. Up until now, the technology was limited to Windows users due to lack of software. Now with the LaCie LightScribe Labeler for MAC OS, SureThing for Windows and LaCie LightScribe Labeler for Linux, we have software available to the three major OS platforms. Did I forget to mention the software is free from LaCie? Yes, it really is.

enabling OS X screen sharing remotely in Terminal

short and simple for 10.5 (Leopard)

sudo sh -c "/bin/echo -n enabled > /Library/Preferences/com.apple.ScreenSharing.launchd"

slightly different for 10.6 (Snow Leopard)

sudo sh -c "/bin/echo -n enabled > /private/etc/ScreenSharing.launchd"

rm the file to disable it. launchd polls regularyly, so after you "enable" the service, it'll be loaded by the time you check for the open port with netstat -an

NOBODY puts Newsstand in a folder!

I just updated to IOS5 on my iPhone 3GS. Everything seems to work great so far, but I guess we can't put the Newsstand app in a folder? Is this true? Anyone else have this problem?
