This Gort segment teaches you (or your mac-using friends) how to hunt down the webcam driver in Mac OS and remove it so that the webcam cannot be activated without your knowledge. Klaatu also examines how the free software philosophy encourages understanding computers as opposed to how proprietary software encourages people to not even think about their computer or what might be happening behind the scenes...like spying webcams.

He then takes listener feedback; he talks about why the Windows Registry sucks, technically, about docapps.org (and gives the wrong URL for it so please see the show notes), Blender 2.5 alpha, meego, Off The Wall and an article in 2600 by sigflup, and a windows virus. http://www.thebadapples.info/audiophile/badAppleLinux_5x06.ogg klaatu@hackerpublicradio.org (notKlaatu) http://www.thebadapples.info/audiophile/badAppleLinux_5x06.ogg Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:00:00 EST Klaatu talks about the upcoming enlightenment e17 stable release - the project's first stable release in ten years!

Klaatu uses Qsynth, QJackCtl, and Qtractor as an example scenario but the information applies broadly across most computer music environments. Klaatu also talks a bit about Chess Griffin's mashpodder, reads some listener feedback, and steals back his identity from the evilness that is microblogging. http://www.thebadapples.info/audiophile/badAppleLinux_5x00.ogg klaatu@hackerpublicradio.org (notKlaatu) http://www.thebadapples.info/audiophile/badAppleLinux_5x00.ogg Thu, 24 Dec 2009 13:59:00 EST Klaatu talks about the Rockbox GUI installer, linux laptops, linux in hollywood, listener feedback, a new speex rss feed for the show, the controversial winners of the TLLTS tshirt contest, nasa images, and more.
