Tabbed Terminal Problem Solved
Well, after much searching, I finally discovered that iTerm has the tab feature built in. I guess it made it hard to find as the toolbar only includes options for a totally new window and not a new tab. I ended up finding the new tab function in the menu options.
I guess I should look harder next time!

Looking For Tabbed Terminals
Being accustomed to system administration on Linux, I've gotten used to using the terminal program that comes with KDE. One of the main features that I used was the tabbed browsing feature, very similar to tabbed browsing in Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, etc. It allows you to have multiple terminals open within the same "window".
Can anyone point me to a terminal program for Mac OS X that includes this feature?

Return of the Mac
An interesting look at the return of the use of the Apple Mac among hackers ("hackers" meaning the nice computer geeks, the naughty ones are called "crackers"). It sounds similar to my experience, although I haven't had quite the exposure to the Mac, or hacking previously. Anyway, an enjoyable read going into the reasons that a lot of computer geeks are attracted to the Mac, mainly through the BSD based operating system, Mac OS X.

Hacking Mac OS X
A long, in depth blog interview "Behind the Red Shed, with Jonathan 'The Wolf' Rentzsch" is available from DrunkenBlog, a great name for a blog too! It's a really interesting read, and I'm not even all the way through yet. John is the author of mach_inject and mach_override, open source extension technologies for Mac OS X.

Virus Contest Announced, And Then Cancelled
DVForge have announced and then withdrawn a virus writing contest. If you can infect a standard Mac with a virus, you win $25,000! And if you're a Symantec employee, you could have stood to win $50,000. This is in response to a recent piece of FUD released by Symantec warning about the potential security risks in Mac OS X.

The Mac Attack Has Begun - Part I
A little while ago, my work bought me an Apple Powerbook 12". I've been a computer geek for many years, but I have never owned, or really used to any great extent an Apple computer. But, after a matter of weeks, I'm now converted, so much so that I feel that I need to write about it.
