I had never heard of phone frauds like this until now, but I'll be sure to pay attention and spread the voice. Thanks for sharing; it's important to let people know about these things, so that they may prepare themselves. https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/dont-get-caught-out-by-phone-scams#comment369 https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/dont-get-caught-out-by-phone-scams#comments Sat, 09 Oct 2010 22:24:20 +0000 valerie https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/dont-get-caught-out-by-phone-scams#comment369 Oh my, I hadn't heard of this one yet. It's crazy what people will do for to get money. O_o I use TeamViewer myself for my computers and some of the ones I work on for other people and I love it but yeah, in the wrong hands it's bad. There's an option from the remote machine that is logging in to disable remote input. In other words, disallow any mouse or keyboard interaction from the computer that's being controlled. You'd have to disconnect it from the internet or force the power off to stop that person. Hopefully most people will be smart enough to stop these scammers from taking over their machine and finances. Thanks for sharing, Amelie, it's important to educate people about this stuff! https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/facebook-knows-all-about-you#comment352 https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/facebook-knows-all-about-you#comments Fri, 14 May 2010 03:36:51 +0000 Louise https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/facebook-knows-all-about-you#comment352 Meh. We're all part of some advertising data collection of some form. Whether it's Facebook, or some secret thingy we don't know about. -- Whether we like it or not. I don't think there's any avoiding it unless you don't have a birth record, don't know any people, and NEVER connect to the internet. https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/facebook-knows-all-about-you#comment351 https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/facebook-knows-all-about-you#comments Tue, 04 May 2010 20:09:37 +0000 katie @ sunday rain https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/facebook-knows-all-about-you#comment351 yet another reason i deleted my facebook.. https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/facebook-knows-all-about-you#comment350 https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/facebook-knows-all-about-you#comments Tue, 04 May 2010 10:52:42 +0000 Veronica https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/facebook-knows-all-about-you#comment350 I know I should probably be a bit alarmed over this but it just doesn't bother me. I've not come across any situation where saving those address for/about me caused a problem. https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/facebook-knows-all-about-you#comment349 https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/facebook-knows-all-about-you#comments Mon, 03 May 2010 18:51:37 +0000 Vera https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/facebook-knows-all-about-you#comment349 Oh I read about this a while ago. Heck my parents kept sending me tonnes of e-mail forwards about this. But, when I joined Facebook, I decided that unless it was something completely innocent I would not post it there. Of course, that doesn't make it any less scary. :-S https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/facebook-knows-all-about-you#comment348 https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/facebook-knows-all-about-you#comments Mon, 03 May 2010 13:31:19 +0000 Katy https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/facebook-knows-all-about-you#comment348 old news :P facebook smells https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/reverting-to-safari-3-from-safari-4-on-mac-os-x-105#comment334 https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/reverting-to-safari-3-from-safari-4-on-mac-os-x-105#comments Sun, 02 Aug 2009 10:09:37 +0000 Judith Klinghoffer https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/reverting-to-safari-3-from-safari-4-on-mac-os-x-105#comment334 Using the suggestions here, I've successfully removed Safari 4 from a G4 iBook running Tiger and got it back to Safari 3.23 (where it belonged). Editing the WebKit.framework info.plist file was a bit easier said than done. The file wasn't exactly in the location described . . . but it was close by. And then, of course, I didn't have the necessary permissions to go in and overwrite the file . . . so I had to go in and change the permissions. So for someone who really had no clue how to do those things, it might require a bit more explanation. But, when all was said and done, it was pretty darned easy - and 3.23 is now up and running! I'd also like to mention my reason for doing this . . . This was my son's computer, which had some pretty strict parental controls on it. Well, it went into the shop for service, and when it came back, it had been upgraded to Safari 4 - and the parental controls on Safari had been completely wiped out! Oh, they still appeared to be there, but if my son wanted to do something he normally wouldn't be allowed to do (erase his browser history, for example), all he had to do was try it, wait for the little "admin-password" window to pop up - and then click the "cancel" box in the window. No password required - it then let him go ahead and do anything he wanted! So much for parental controls. Anyway, now everything is working again - and my son gets his computer back. Many thanks!!! https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/reverting-to-safari-3-from-safari-4-on-mac-os-x-105#comment327 https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/reverting-to-safari-3-from-safari-4-on-mac-os-x-105#comments Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:24:10 +0000 Emily https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/reverting-to-safari-3-from-safari-4-on-mac-os-x-105#comment327 I was able to follow the instructions and revert back to Safari 3 on my Mac OS X 10.4.11, which was such a relief for me - thanks you so much for the instructions!! I noticed, though, that links that I've previously clicked on remain purple, even if I delete them from my history. The purple links return to blue if I close the browser, which makes me think that they're being stored somewhere temporarily, for some reason. Do you know what might cause this? It never happened before, and for such a small thing, it's really bothering me. I'm not sure what I did incorrectly, and I'm really afraid I've messed something up, like maybe this is the harbinger of something really bad... https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/reverting-to-safari-3-from-safari-4-on-mac-os-x-105#comment326 https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/reverting-to-safari-3-from-safari-4-on-mac-os-x-105#comments Sun, 21 Jun 2009 23:16:05 +0000 Jon https://amelierosalyn.com/entry/reverting-to-safari-3-from-safari-4-on-mac-os-x-105#comment326 The OSX 4.2.11 reversion worked perfectly. Thanks for the exquisitely clear instructions. My complaints with v4 are: Loss of 'view frame source' on a right click Totally dumb & irritating relocation of refresh and stop buttons. Hiccupy bugginess. The move toward greater graphic flashiness is irritating and in the way of working with it as a decent app.
