You may already have heard about this but all UK mobiles will be on a directory which will mean that anyone will be able to access the numbers.

It’s easy to unsubscribe but it must be done before the beginning of next week to make sure that you are ex-directory. You may want to suggest it to all your friends and family who have UK mobiles or they could be swamped by unsolicited messages and calls. Removal is recommended by the BBC – see link below:

.DS_Store files are annoying. Even thought they are used to save the positions of icons, the size of the respective Finder window, the window’s background, and many more view options, for some it’s considered a design flaw of Finder.

If you want to stop them to be created on your network, follow these steps:

1. Open the Terminal.
2. Type:

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true


3. Press Return.
4. Restart the computer.

If you want to remove .DS_Store files on your local machine, type in your Terminal window:

sudo find / -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} \;
