If you have and are worried, you can detect by running the Terminal commands as instructed in the article. If after running the Terminal commands and you receive “No such file or directly” you are fine, nothing to worry about. How to run these commands in Terminal: 1. Go to Applications Utilities Terminal 2. Open Terminal 3. Copy and then Paste this command: ls /Applications/Automator.app/Contents/MacOS/ 4. click ‘Return’ key on keyboard You should then only see the typed word - Automator 5. Then copy paste this command: ls /Library/launchd 6. Click Return key on your keyboard You should then only see this “No such file or directory”. /Quote: 1. Variant One The first piece of malware appears to install in the Automator program that ships with OS X as a binary called DockLight, which you can detect by running the following command in the Terminal (available in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder): ls /Applications/Automator.app/Contents/MacOS/ If you run this command you should only see Automator listed in the output, but if you also see DockLight or any other files listed along with Automator then you might consider scanning your system with a malware scanner. 2. Variant Two The second piece of malware appears to try to mimic the system launcher program launchd by installing a similarly named executable file in the global library directory, and then creates a launch agent that keeps this binary file running when the computer starts. As with Variant One, you can check your system to see if it shows up by running the following command in the Terminal: ls /Library/launchd If the result of this command contains the phrase No such file or directory then you are fine. However, if it returns the string /Library/launchd without mention of there not being any such file or directory then you again might consider scanning your system for malware.

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) defines 4G to include: - LTE (Long Term Evolution) - WiMax - HSPA+ dual carrier Vivid Wireless advertises their WiMax service which tops out at 4-5mbps around Australia as 4G. Telstra advertises their HSPA+ dual carrier service which is capable of running at speeds up to 42mps as 4G (as per the ITU). Already users are reporting real-world speeds of up to 20 Mbps in Sydney besting Vivid Wireless's 4G speeds by a factor of 4. At the moment, Telstra's LTE service is giving faster speeds in many tests, but just wait till the number of users increases to the sorts of numbers on the HSPA frequencies and you should see those speeds drop as LTE users (just like HSPA and WiMax) all share the same bandwidth to their local tower. In the USA, tests of 4G in New York top out at 20mbps - the same as what Tesltra HSPA+ dual carrier achieves in the real world here in Australia. Telstra has also previously indicated they would be doubling the speed of HSPA+ DC to 84mbps using MIMO which would give it parity with the current generation of LTE. Only LTE Advanced theoretically offers greater than 100mbps. The iPad 4G is indeed 4G in Australia and the ACCC has no case. -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug

Hi WAMUGers, there have been a number of posts about travelling to Europe with an iPad or an iPhone and the potentially high data costs so I thought this BBC article may be of interest. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17539421 Some excerpts: Under new rules agreed by the European Parliament, consumers will pay no more than 29 cents (24p) per minute to make a call and 70 cents (59p) per megabyte for data downloads across Europe. and The new roaming charges will progressively go down and by July 2014 the aim is that roaming consumers will pay no more than 19 cents (15p) to make a call and 20 cents (16p) per megabyte of data. The cost of receiving a call will fall to 5 cents (4p) and sending a text to 6 cents (5p).
