The same thing your current ISP does. How do you know there’s not somebody in 
the home office reading your mail right now? I encrypt as much of my mail as I 
can. Unfortunately, very few other people are set up for this.

If companies like Sony had encrypted mail policies, they wouldn’t be seeing 
their dirty laundry on the news right now.

Your right Lee, guess I have trouble trusting someone I don’t know, but I am 
fooling myself.

Those I email would consider me an idiot if I ask them to work with me on 
encrypting our emails, seems few are concerned but without their cooperation 
it’s a solo act….unless you have a way to send encryption without the key on 
both ends?

 Folks, I have come late to the party but have found a way to save video’s 
 from most any source with no software to load, copy and render, no 
 complicated setup…it simply works.
 
 In the past I have used SnapZPro to capture video’s from the internet.  Works 
 great but they always have a problem when Apple does a major update, there is 
 always a lag in them catching up….oh I wish Apple would buy them as was 
 rumored.
 
 A disadvantage of using a program like this is the setting the monitors to 
 not go to sleep and waiting for the entire program to play while it’s being 
 recorded…then the rendering inside SnapZ, this can be a very lengthly process.
 
 Since I am once again in limbo due to the upgrade to Yosemite and SnapZ not 
 working I looked around for a way to DOWNLOAD video’s from YouTube, and 
 wanted to share this with you, it will work on Windows as well as Mac.
 
 See the screenshots below, it’s fantastic.
 
 Simply go to Youtube as you always do, load the video you want to capture but 
 don’t play.

 Remove all the URL address prior to “youtube”, and then add the letters “ss”, 
 without the quotation marks.
 
 
 Screen Shot 2014-12-28 at 12.50.31 PM.png
 
 
 This will take you to the “savefrom” site where your video will be waiting 
 for you to choose your format, once you do the download begins, once on your 
 machine it plays perfectly.  It’s in the format of MP4, if that’s what you 
 pick but it expands well without distortion.
 
 This is going to save me tons of time and allow me to save interviews or 
 product reviews, instruction video’s etc. etc. with ease.  They could then be 
 put on the iPad or iPhone (since they are MP4) should I wish to watch from a 
 mobile devise.
 
 Thought some of you might find this helpful.

[MacGroup] Mac keeper ?

2014-12-28 Thread Stuart Ungar
Hi all,

Was having some problems with my safari browser. Had a popup show up saying 
there was an issue with security being breached and gave me a toll free number 
to call. The popup wouldn't go away. I restarted the computer a couple times 
and now Safari seems to be working ok. Was this a scam, or something I should 
legitimately be concerned about?

Thoughts appreciated!

Stuart

Don't call those numbers. It's either Mackeeper, third-party optimization 
software that almost nobody needs, or a third-party security scam that promises 
to fix non-existent problems for a hefty fee, and usually wants you to download 
remote-access software that lets them access your Mac directly. And you might 
want to stay off whatever site was pushing those pop-ups at you, because 
they're not very choosy about whom they take their ad money from.
