I’ve found a massive flaw with the iPhone. It doesn’t sync email certificates held in the Mac OS X keychain to the iPhone.

Whilst this isn’t initially a problem if you just use it to sign emails as being from you, it poses a problem if someone else also uses an email certificate enabling you to encrypt emails.
The email ends up encrypted and the iPhone has no way to decrypt it because it doesn’t possess any of the certificates that Mail does. I’ve filed an enhancement request with Apple, let’s hope someone picks up on it.

I had to restore my iPhone the other day and it’s relearning how i write and spell things. It managed to write the following by mistake.

That is a very bad mistake to make!

I thought I’d share with you a few images I took at the end of last week when Adrian and I were working on a project in iMovie. Each year we film a spoof panto performance at one of the theatres we work at.
Each year we manage to find something about iMovie or iDVD that either causes us issues or makes us laugh.

To the left is a picture of my hard drive status. Nothing really to laugh about as there weren’t any problems. I was just quite impressed at how much input and output activity there was. iMovie HD 6 doesn’t seem to utilise much CPU or RAM, especially on an 8-core mac pro.

The next image I share is something we found both this time round and last year when using iDVD and iMovie. The “less than a minute” remaining count down.

In reality, the less than a minute count down ends up taking anywhere from five minutes to an hour!

I was however quite impressed with iDVD this time round. Once you’ve got your menus built it starts encoding them in the background to enable a faster creation time. This worked pretty well and nothing else ran slowly, even with Aperture running. I do wonder why it starts creating them though when you can quite easily scrap them and start again?!

Apple have started to sell a new range of Mac Pros, with improved processor power, graphics and support for up to 4TB hard drive space.

I bought my Mac Pro back in April 2007 when the quad core version was “top of the line”. The quad core option is now a standard feature and you can configure the system up to 3.2Ghz.

I’ve not regretted buying my Mac Pro. Even though it was expensive, it’s going to last me for ages. The speed in which I can process and manipulate photos using Aperture and Photoshop is unparalleled. I suppose the next item on my list will be upgrading to Leopard!

According to this quiz, I’m 77% addicted to Apple!

I think that’s a pretty fair likeness as not everything Apple runs my life!
Although saying that, the purchase of the iPhone has brought Apple to just about every place I go now.
