Beware of the hidden traps of using the automator to batch resize images.
Instead of resizing a few pictures by hand I thought I be intelligent and use the automator to resize the pictures. So I spent a few minutes to find some documentation about 10.5 and preview functionality being available as automator workflow tasks.
All done in a few minutes and it felt great. So I continued to upload the pictures and only saw much later that the quality of the pics is far worse than manually clicking in preview -> tools - > adjust size and only modify the height to 550.
It really looks that OS X 10.8 is not using the preview functionality but something else, or slightly different settings maybe.
Now I have to manually resize the images and be sure that the quality is a expected.

DNS: noise
I don't necessarily see the connection why checkpoint links to the dns noise from their vulnerability advice.

Mac OS X: Access ftp site for beginners
The more you think you know the more complicate things get.
On Mac OS X, if you need to access an ftp site, just use
CMD+K and
type the ftp://sitename.site and
you'll be asked to provide username and credentials and the site appears in your finder.
I'm so used to actually only use filezilla and or filezilla server, that something as easy as this for down and upload does not even come to mind.
page that describes this nicely:

Use with caution on massive up- or downloads, as the connection to the server disconnected quite often and the OS X had trouble to reestablish and work through it, so actually: FileZilla rules!!
Update2: Even after more than 10 minutes after trying to disconnect all open connections and clicking stop on the copy dialog box, the thing is still there and displaying stopping... while FileZilla has finished downloading files and directories (1200 files in 20 directories), why do the easy things not just work out of the box.
