[Item Permalink] Using AirPort Extreme at home -- Comment()
AirPort 3.4 update released: "Apple on Monday released an update to its AirPort wireless networking software.". [MacCentral]

I installed an AirPort Extreme Base Station at home last Friday. I then upgraded the software to version 5.3, and now version 5.4 is available. In fact I already installed 5.4 last evening. (It was included in the AirPort 3.4 package.) Also, new AEBS models were introduced. Fortunately Apple didn't make a radical change in the AEBS hardware, the entry-level model is still the same.

I'm very pleased with the purchase. However, I'm still debating what printer to plug in to the USB port on the AEBS. Canon or HP, that is the current question.

Supercomputer Hacks Highlight Ed Security Challenge: "Universities are turning to advanced security technologies such as intrusion prevention systems. Universities have historically tried to maintain as open and accessible network infrastructures as possible, but new threats are making that obligation especially onerous: For example, hackers recently broke into the Linux and Solaris supercomputer systems at Stanford University using stolen IDs and passwords, then took advantage of shared folders on the system that were kept up to facilitate data sharing and system management."
