WordPress is one of the most popular Content Management Systems (CMS) on the Web today, but doing Research and Development (R&D) on the platform can be problematic at best. The reason being is any R&D that you do on a Live WordPress platform has a potential risk of bringing your website down. So, what do you do if you want to create a new theme or test a new plugin to see if it meets your needs?

Well, you can install WordPress locally on your Mac so that you can play around with the platform to your heart’s content. Luckily, there is a solution where you don’t need to install and configure the Apache, PHP and MySQL packages on your Mac.

Data and information these days seem to be more valuable than gold or precious stones. With the ever increase of activity in computer crime and Internet fraud, users want to secure their personal data on their computers more now than ever before.

Although MacOS X is an extremely secure operating system from hackers when you are using the Internet, the physical computer itself is not so secure. Files can be easily transferred off your Mac if someone has direct access to your machine and also if they have with them another Mac and Firewire cable.

I have created a tutorial where you can create a secure virtual folder so that you and only you can access them (and anyone else who knows the password come to mention it). You don’t need to buy any additional software, MacOS X has everything you need.

This tutorial describes how you convert one of your DVDs in to a video format so that you can view it on your iPod. Hope it helps.

I’m a huge Mac user, as some of your may know, and one of the questions that I always get asked is: “How do I get YouTube video on to my iPod?“. Well, instead of repeating myself over and over again, I thought that I would write a tutorial to illustrate how this is done, so enjoy.
