I've been a paid-up user for [iat least[/i 3 years, looking at the email address I registered it with.

It's a firewall. It might not be what most people automatically think of as a firewall, and therefore isn't going to be advertised as such, but it still [iis[/i a firewall. It selectively blocks network communications according to a list of rules you provide.

Quote: Big Graeme "The only reason it stands up as a network monitor is MacOS is not a target for mainstream attack, if it were it would fall apart faster that a brides nightie.'"


In what ways would [iLittle Snitch[/i fail in its role as, well, [iwhat it is[/i if OSX was a target for mainstream attack?

Quote: rover49 "Looking to buy a smart tv 42" or bigger, anyone bought one recently to recommend.'"


Maybe it's just me not knowing what I'm looking for, but I really don't 'get' plasma. A bloke I work with tells me they're unbeatable, but I look and think the picture looks a bit dark and generally not that smooth. I was in Selfridges last night (God knows why, it's a horrible place), so I decided I'd try comparing a few of the TVs they have on show. All of the LED/LCD TVs they had out looked far better than the plasmas on show. When you went right up close, the detail looked much clearer, the edges seemed smoother and the colours were brighter and seemed more natural. I imagine if I was to go home and read a review on the TVs, the plasmas would probably win the review as they always do, but I really don't see why. As I said, maybe it's because I'm not an experienced eye, but I don't get the plasma love-in.

Would never buy a plasma tv, I'd personally stick with LED.

Plasmas are better for the 47"+ TVs.

The latest LG range of LED Smart TVs have a great picture, we have one (42"icon_wink.gif and bar the sound (which all thin TVs have problems with now) it's a top notch TV.

Our other TV's are LG and we have never had a problem. Looked at the 47" LED 3D Smart version with built in WiFi yesterday and it looks great.

We've got a 47" 3D (Not Smart though) LG. The only problem I have is the poor quality sound but if you're connected to a surround sound system it will be fine.
