I Found this interesting video on Cult of Mac that depicts what the Apple Tablet would look/work like. I like that the maker of this video follows relevantly consistent ”Apple like features”

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The YouTube user LeopardOctober’s account has been removed and all his/her videos taken down and is now effectively ”erased” from the face of the internet by Apple. Sorry but that is the way the heads roll.

A while back we shared a Snow Leopard stacks video with you. Recently while reading Cult of Mac I Stumbled upon these videos of various builds of Snow Leopard from You Tuber LeopardOctober and found them very interesting.

This first one shows some very attractive changes to the Finder’s search options.

This next feature has enchanted me as well. Text Edit makes my world go round for its simplicity and power. If these new features are real… Well it would be awesome.

And for those of us who use Spaces it looks like life may get a little easier.

LeopardOctober has his/her other videos locked from embedding. Here is a list of other Snow Leopard videos:

• A quick look: Snow Leopard Build 10A261
• QuickTime 10 – Snow Leopard build 10A286
• Finder QuickLook – Snow Leopard build 10A286
• Snow Leopard Welcome Movie?

So for more S.L. goodness visit his channel.

If you could pick on this to add to Snow leopard, what would it be? Be sure to comment and let us know.

Sadly there is a mindset that Macs are invincible and immune to all viral attacks. This is definitely not the case. We are not attack as much as Windows users because we are the minority (so far). With that said here are tips and tools to securing your Mac.

1. Configure Build in Security Settings

Locking your screen and turning on the built in firewall are great ways to secure your Mac. Watch the video below to see how this can easily be done.

2. Use a Mac Car Alarm

Yes you heard me right… A car alarm. Go out and download your free copy of iAlertU. This great utility can enable an alarm triggered when your laptop moves. It also harnesses the Apple Remote so you can use it like you would your car keys. Check out the video to see iAlertU in action.

3. Back Up Your Mac

UPDATE: The following was posted by the creators of Magnifique:

“WARNING: DO NOT use Magnifique on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. It’s almost certain that it will mess up your system beyond repair. We are planning a complete rewrite of Magnifique once Snow Leopard is released. Thanks for everyone’s support”

Since ShapeShifter never made its appearance on Leopard many of us have let our Macs remain themeless. But no more. Thanks to this application we can now easily change and customize theme once again. Here is a quick video I made showing off Magnifique.

If your dock gets full fast you can use Dock Spaces to keep things under control. Dock Spaces allows you to have multiple dock and access them with hot keys. Dock Spaces supports Spaces integration so you can use the power of Leopard’s Spaces with multiple docks. Watch this screen cast to see some more features and how to set up Dock Spaces:

In OS X you can see the date by clicking on the time in the menu bar. But I find myself doing this so much I would like to just have the date next to the time of day. I found a little app called MagiCal. MagiCal is a free menu application that give you a plethora of option pertaining to date and time in the menu bar Like showing the date with the time, font sizes, calendar and much more. I soon fell madly in love with it and I have turned off Apples Time menu items and replaced it with MagiCal’s:

Check out this quick video of MagiCal’s features:
