How to make a virtual LAN with Hamachi !
First of all, you have to download the Hamachi Client from the following link: https://secure.logmein.com/AT/products/hamachi/register.aspx . For that, you just have to register. The free version of Hamachi is for private use up to 16 clients only.

Default, the clients are connected as a mesh network, but via the “LogMeIn” Homepage, you can also create “Hub-and-Spoke” and “Gateway Access networks”. The connection between the VLAN clients is made by an mediation server from the provider who creates tunnels in the IP range 5.0.0.0/8 between the peers. The data flow between clients is peer-to-peer and 256-bit SSL encrypted.

Local Networks have many advantages when it comes to more complicated services like file sharing, remote desktop, network printer usage or NAS.

Not at least, LAN-Party’s without all the disadvantages due do local management and mobility are one of my expectations.

Problem with built-in Mac Book webcam iSight
The webcam seems to be active (red light is flashing) but it is neither possible to activate nor to deactivate the webcam. That implies that no webcam using application is able to use it, e.g. for a video conference with Skype. By trying to use the webcam via an application the statement "another program may have it in use" is prompted.
I haven't figured out what causes this bug, but it can be solved by resetting the PRAM (parameter random-access memory) of your Mac Book.
Change Icon of iTunes 10 (to iTunes 9) (Mac)
Download the folder using the icon of iTunes 9: http://dl.maclife.com/olditunesicon.zip.
1) First you should backup the iTunes 10 icon in case you may need it later. Open the application folder and select the iTunes application. Next open the information window of the selected application (press command-I or go to File->Get Info in the menu bar). The info window will pop up with the iTunes 10 icon at the top. Select the icon and just copy it (e.g. by pressing command-C). Create a new folder somewhere in the Finder and open the info window for it. Paste iTunes 10 icon over the default folder icon (e.g. by pressing command-p).
2) Now copy the iTunes 9 icon of the attached folder and paste it over the icon of the iTunes 10 application as done previously. If you're not fully authorized to change application folders you may need to change the access privileges at the bottom of the info window. Unlock lock and change privilege to Read & Write. You will be asked for your password. Remember to undo this changes after pasting the iTunes 9 icon.
3) The iTunes icon will not automatically change in the dock. You need to remove the icon from the Dock, start iTunes and tick the "Keep in Dock" again (right click on the icon, select options).
If you're not fully satisfied with the icon only, there is a possibility to change the whole appearance of iTunes 10. More info here: http://www.macstories.net/mac/want-itunes-9-look-back-theres-a-mod-for-t...
Moreover, like explained above it works for every icon. Here are some links for downloading other icons:
