Updates to Past Blog Posts: URL Shortener Previews, Bindaas Spam

I recently added several URL shortening services to my popular article "How to Preview Shortened URLs (TinyURL, bit.ly, is.gd, and more)".  This is a great article to share with friends who are concerned about where short links on Twitter and elsewhere will take them.

I have also added additional domains to the list of Bindaas spam-advertised sites in my article "'Bindaas Spaces' Spam from India".

MacTech: Review of Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition

I wrote a review of Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition that was published in the January 2011 issue of MacTech Magazine.  Although I can't republish the full article here, I certainly recommend grabbing a copy of Issue 27.01 if you're interested in my take on this free-for-home-use Mac antivirus solution.  The issue also contains the monthly CoreSec column by Michele (Mike) Hjörleifsson—this time covering the security of VOIP, Apple FaceTime and iChat, and Skype—as well as lots of other great articles including virtualization benchmarks comparing Parallels Desktop 6 and VMware Fusion 3.1.

UPDATE, 8 April 2012: The review is now available to read online:
