In my spare time I’m somewhat enthusiastically involved in roleplaying and story-gaming, as well as keeping up a hobby of coding in ruby and Cocoa/Objective-C (which I document on my blog.) I got interested in Getting Things Done during my Honours year (2008), and I haven’t looked back. My OmniFocus activity revolves around three activities: capture, organisation, and doing. Capture is the most boring step. Organisation is something that I still struggle to get exactly right. The process of doing happens in the context view.

How to Run Microsoft Edge Web Browser in Mac OS X Microsoft Edge is the latest web browser from Microsoft, which aims to replace Internet Explorer in the latest versions of Windows for desktop PC, Surface, and Windows Phone. While most Mac users may not need to access or use the Microsoft Edge web browser, others in OS X may require using Edge to access specific websites, and it’s particularly common for web developers and web designers to need to use a wide variety of web browsers for testing purposes. Thus, we’re going to show Mac users how they can easily run Microsoft Edge directly in Mac OS X, and entirely for free. This walkthrough will focus on using a virtual machine to run and test Microsoft Edge in OS X, which at the moment is the only way to run Edge on a Mac without using Boot Camp or a complete Windows 10 installation. How to Run Microsoft Edge in Mac OS X in a Virtual Machine for Free System requirements are light and this is widely compatible, but for better performance you’ll want a newer Mac with a lot of RAM.
What’s Safer From Hackers: A PC or a Mac? Mac vs. PC. (Images by Thinkstock/Apple/Microsoft, modified by Yahoo Tech) Apple’s vaunted reputation for safety and security has taken some hits recently. Just this week came news of DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE — a bug in Apple’s OS X operating system that has allowed a malicious program to take complete control of Macs. This isn’t to pick on Apple too much. Before you compare OS X and Windows, you have to remember that security is about more than just the operating system: The biggest threats can run on both platforms. So we decided to take a look at the big picture, comparing Windows and OS X on overall hackability. Both PCs and Macs have plenty of security bugs When it comes to security flaws, Windows and OS X are now about tied, says Morey Haber, VP of technology at corporate security software maker BeyondTrust. Macs make up less than 10 percent of today’s computer market. Macs’ biggest security asset is basic economics. Web browsers and plugins are the main targets Apply OS updates

Educators and administrators are actively searching for ways to prepare students for the future, and the educational system has been evolving faster than ever before. Various studies have shown us that rote memorization is not an effective learning strategy, and that teacher-centered classrooms may not be the most efficiently structured ones for student engagement. However, despite learning about the skills that students will need to develop to become successful in the 21st century, as well as what beliefs about education may be worth hanging onto or throwing away, schools and teachers are left trying to figure out what their role needs to be in the education of their 21st century students. Nowadays, we don’t live in the same world. So then, what is the role of education in the 21st century? Society has changed. 1. 2. 3.
