In 1999 Steve Jobs went on stage and showed off iMovie, declaring how FireWire was The Way, and explaining how amazing all the movie creation tools are and what a standard issue Mac user could do with all that video they have accumulated. Then just 14 months later, Steve Jobs walked out at Macworld 2001 and unveiled…

Never fear, we published a few tricks to unhide those folders. We became curious when more and more people began reporting that their folders hadn't disappeared, so we set about doing some isolation testing. After all, OS X 10.9.3 wasn't the only update Apple released yesterday. iTunes 11.2 made its public debut, as well. Turns out that hidden /Users folder has nothing…

This is just the first step in the bill becoming law—it would have to also pass the California Assembly and be signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown or his successor (likely to be Jerry Brown, for those keeping score at home).

Part of the issue is the goal of pro-Net Neutrality people to keep “Internet access” synonymous with “phone line.” While we take it for granted today, a phone line is a wire provided by one company that allows you to choose who you call, whether they are using the same telephone provider you use or not. Many large…
