With All Things D’s big conference currently going on, Tim Cook took to the stage to be quizzed by Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher. Just as Steve Jobs had done on occasions before, Apple’s new CEO spoke candidly about a whole range of things, and videos are currently being added to the D10 Conference website showing the conversation in glorious Technicolor.

Flame ”redefines the notion of cyberwar and cyberespionage” -
The world’s “largest cyberattack” has been uncovered. Business and universities — and governments — were the main target of the attack by the data-stealing malware.
“There was another incident after the popular Ultra Festival where a guy was walking around naked, and was hit by a taxi. He jumped on top of the taxi, beat the people inside. It took 15 officers to stop him, and as he was being tasered, he was begging them to shoot and kill him,” says Aguilar. “But because we had that many officers we were able to subdue him and take him to the hospital where they basically froze him.”
Face-Eating Attack Possibly Prompted by ‘Bath Salts,’ Authorities Suspect.
Maybe I should look into reading one of those “Surviving the zombie apocalypse” books.

Seriously, I’m not gonna lie, this creeps me out in a hard way. This is just how it starts in the movies and everyone thinks its a joke and then bam! you’re running for your fucking life!
UPDATE:
The officer…approached and saw that the naked man was actually chewing the other man’s head, according to witnesses. The officer ordered the naked man to back away, and when he continued the assault, the officer shot him.
The attacker continued to eat the man, despite being shot, forcing the officer to continue firing. Witnesses said they heard at least a half dozen shots.

Subatomic, the studio that developed one of the first games I played on the iPad (and still a favorite), Fieldrunners, is prepping for a summer release of Fieldrunners 2.
One of the things the studio wanted to build for Fieldrunners 2 is better AI. It did, and it’s a game-changer. It’s smarter. It’s now aware of itself and the world it inhabits. Enemies can bump into each other at choke points and push to find safer pathways. They can also scramble over and under each other. The original game was as mechanical as other tower defense games. Enemies just plowed straight ahead, totally oblivious to everything around them — no behaviors, no awareness, no brains.
“In Fieldrunners 2 what we did, we actually have this very elaborate swarming behavior,” Gotch says. “Units behave like they would on a real battlefield. If you were to throw hundreds of units on-screen they would all swarm in and take control of the battlefield. Like an army you would see in Braveheart … They actually influence one another. You can build mazes and congest the [pipes you build]. And the guys behind [other enemies] are affected by the guys in the forefront.

How Pixar nearly had Toy Story 2 accidentally erased.
Remember how I’m always saying backup, backup and more backups? But please make sure those backups actually work! :)
Pixar’s Oren Jacob and Galyn Susman recount how the files for Toy Story 2 were almost lost due to an accidental Linux command and bad backup. It’s probably a little over-dramatized from what actually happened, but is a good reminder to back up your important files!

SideEffects is a simple package that includes the three necessary components to add color back to Finder sidebar icons; SIMBL, ColorfulSidebar, and RelaunchFinder, all wrapped into a single easy to use installer to shorten the process considerably. Gone will be the drab grayscale icons, welcome back the color.
Get SideEffects free from MacUpdate
SideEffects works with OS X 10.7.4 or later including Mountain Lion (supposedly).
For those wondering what is being installed and where it’s going, the files added by SideEffects are as follows:
SIMBL
/Library/ScriptingAdditionsColorfulSidebar
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/PluginsRelaunchFinder
/Applications/RelaunchFinder.app
Also note that RelaunchFinder.app is also added to the active users login items. This is needed so that the color icons take effect on each reboot or login, which can be a downside if you are a minimalist with your startup items.
