Sweatshop

DANCING With The Stars presenter Sonia Kruger is in hot water after making derogatory comments about a “sweat shop of illegal immigrants” slaving away on her wardrobe for the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

Kruger, 43, made the comments during the celebrity reality show last Sunday after co-host Daniel MacPherson asked about the bevy of outfits the star would require for her four day stint covering the racing carnival for Channel 7.

“Lets just say there is a sweat shop full of illegal immigrants working on them right now,” Kruger said before referring to the show’s Malaysian born musical director Chong Lim.

“How is the family Chong? Alright?”

Multiple Saved Usernames & Passwords in Safari

Lucas — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 06:05:39 +0000

If you visit a web site in Safari for which you have more than 1 username & password combination saved in your keychain, Safari doesn’t do a great job of allowing you to choose which account you’d like to login with (in fact it seems to just pick the first match it finds in the keychain and pre-fill the username & password box with it).

It’s relatively easy to get Firefox to show you a drop down list of usernames to choose from. I couldn’t figure out how to do it in Safari. I googled for a while, found some incorrect advice and then discovered the solution by mistake. So here it is for the googlers:

Click in the username field
Select all
Hit the Delete key
Hit the Delete key again.

You will be presented with a clickable list of usernames to select from. Â Choosing a username will populate the password field accordingly.

Now, if you’ve reached this point but don’t know much about Keychain or how to keep your saved usernames & passwords safe then I strongly encourage you to read up on this topic. Like, right now.

Do not spend money with these people.

Do not leave your mac in their care. They won’t repair it, they will keep it for 6 weeks and then return it to you worse than it was before. For extra kicks they will throw away your serial number sticker – ensuring you’ll have lots of fun with Apple if your hard disk dies at any point in the future.

Ass clowns.
