Of interest is the preliminary list of apps ( http://www.macworld.co.uk/digitallifestyle/news/index.cfm?newsId=3225415 ). I am not at all surprised that almost all of these apps are screensavers (all of which are produced by 7-art Screensavers). The lone exception is an app (Mishinc FLV Converter) that purports to extract the sound from FLV video files.

Intego, also not surprisingly, says their internet security application will catch this and the other couple of Mac malware items, if it has current (6/1) definitions.

Keep in mind, that these apps are all free screensavers and 1 video converter. Historically, these have been one of the most popular vectors for spyware and adware in the Windows world. Seems the authors believe Mac users are just as liable to go for the free eye-candy.

As I’ve always recommended, avoid free screensaver and free wallpaper/desktop background sites, as well as video codecs/converters that don’t come from sources you’ve vetted and trust. This applies whether you have a Mac or Windows machine.

If you open up someone’s contact card in AddressBook, click on the “work” or “home” label next to the address. Then choose “Map this Address” in the menu that pops up.

That’s it! It will open up Google Maps with the address pinpointed.

If you use Outlook on a PC, you can pull up a map (msn.com) using these steps (courtesy of Microsoft’s support site):

To display a map for a selected contact’s address:
Click Contacts on either the Outlook Bar or in the folder list.
Click the contact whose address you want to locate.
On the File menu, point to Open, and then click Selected Items.
Under the Address button, click the arrow, and then click the type of address you want to find on a map, for example, Business, Home, or Other.
On the Actions menu, click Display Map of Address.
