**** How To Troubleshoot A Kernel Panic ****

Joe Kissell, Macworld


> Most crashes on a Mac affect just one application. But you may encounter a type of system-wide crash that brings down your entire Mac: a kernel panic. When this occurs, there’s no warning and no way to save your work or do anything else without restarting. And, because kernel panics can have many different causes, diagnosing the problem and preventing its recurrence are difficult.

Dan Frakes, Macworld


> To someone who has never used it, OS X’s Open and Save dialog boxes likely seem sufficient; but once you’ve used Default Folder X for a while, OS X’s stock file-navigation dialogs feel crippled and half-baked.

**** Apple Releases OS X Server 2.2.1 ****
<http://www.macworld.com/article/2027158/apple-releases-os-x-server-2-2-1.html>
Lex Friedman, Macworld


> Newly added is a Caching Server, which Apple says will speed up downloads for software from the Mac App Store—presumably by not requiring that connected Macs all re-download the same apps anew. Also new is a monitoring service for Time Machine, which logs which Macs have backed up, when they did so, and how large those backups are.

<http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/05/apple-to-highlight-self-published-books/>
Leslie Kaufman, New York Times


> Yet another sign that self-publishing is making inroads into the traditional houses: On Tuesday Apple will include a feature that organizes a group of popular self-published e-books together and then gives them prominent display on iBookstore.

**** Yes, I’m A Homemaker ****

> There is no adorable kid, nor plans to have one. No starter home that needs knocking into shape. I'm not just doing this temporarily until I find something <i>meaningful</i> to do. I’m actually a full-time homemaker ... not stay-at-home dad but stay-at-home dude. A conversational pause. Where do you mentally file this guy? Usually I just change the subject.
