Configure Your Mac Automatically When You Travel

Snow Leopard brought to the Mac the same location-aware services that the iPhone has, but few developers have really tapped into the potential of having the Mac being aware of its surroundings.

Resisting Arrest? A Guide to Being Stopped By Cops Abroad

Resisting Arrest? A Guide to Being Stopped By Cops Abroad

Travel photographers will, at some point, be stopped by the police. In many countries there’s no freedom of speech or press and as a result taking pictures isn’t a necessarily legal activity. I’ve been stopped by the police, I’ve been teargassed and I’ve hooked up with a group of French journalists to cover an event, ... read more
