> Like Apple’s own app, Network Radar offers many common network tools, including ping, port scan, and whois. But it doesn’t stop there: The app can quickly scan your entire network and display a list of devices on it, along with their IP addresses, what services they offer, and more. If you need quick access via services like Telnet, SSH, or HTTP, you can access those for any device by right-clicking on its entry.

According to a technical note from Apple, any apps built and signed on a version of OS X older than 10.9 will now be flagged by Gatekeeper has not having a valid signature.

> Video security for your home or small business just got a lot easier and a lot less expensive thanks to Manything. Manything is an all-in-one home video monitoring system for iOS that allows you to stream, record, and view video remotely from any iOS device using iOS 5 or later. That means your old iPhone 3GS just became a WiFI video camera instead of gathering dust.

David Smith

> While I would still support ensuring that customers and developers aren’t being adversely affected by the 480,000 apps which are no longer being actively maintained, the 720,000 apps that are still are under at least semi-active development will likely paint over this issue for some time.

*** Sake With Your Burger? Japan Is Looking West To Save A Tradition ***
<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/05/world/europe/sake-with-your-burger-japan-looks-west-to-save-a-tradition.html?_r=0>
Kimiko De Freytas-Tamuraaug, New York Times

> “I’d be lying if I said pairing sake with burgers didn’t hurt my pride as a Japanese,” he admitted at a recent dinner, hesitantly poking a piece of lamb kidney and sweetbreads — a first for him — with his fork. “But we need to be exploring this path to survive as a brewer.”



*** What Happens When You Enter The Witness Protection Program? ***
<http://priceonomics.com/what-happens-when-you-enter-the-witness-protection/>
Alex Mayyasi, Priceonomics

> No one in the program would label it as such, but the Witness Protection Program provides one of the more compelling social experiments imaginable. Would law enforcement consent to helping criminals? Can lifelong lawbreakers earn a living legally when given a fresh start? How does a mobster or gang member maintain self-respect when he becomes a rat? And what is it like to indefinitely live a double life?



*** Historical Fiction Can Speak Very Clearly To The Present And The Past ***
<http://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2014/aug/05/historical-fiction-present-past-mary-renault-reading-group?CMP=twt_gu>
Sam Jordison, The Guardian

> Which brings me back to that superb Hilary Mantel article, where the two-time Booker prize-winner also writes: "The trade of the historical novelist doesn't seem so reprehensible or dubious; the only requirement is for conjecture to be plausible and grounded in the best facts one can get." That seems fair enough doesn't it? And on those terms, you could make a pretty strong case for Renault's world … Couldn't you?
