Defence in Depth: Cracking OS X Lion Passwords
september 2011 by rmohns
Now, if the password is not found by the dictionary file you're out of luck, right? Well, no! Why crack hashes when you can just change the password directly! It appears Directory Services in Lion no longer requires authentication when requesting a password change for the current user. So, in order to change the password of the currently logged in user, simply use:
$ dscl localhost -passwd /Search/Users/bob
And voilà! You will be prompted to enter a new password without the need to authenticate.

Migrating Apple Mail’s email-address autocomplete list to a new computer – Marco.org

~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/MailRecents-v4.abcdmr
I quit Mail, copied that to the new computer (mine was 954 KB!), overwriting the stock one (only 49 KB), and relaunched Mail. All of my old autocomplete entries were back with no apparent side effects.

asymco | Unix’s Revenge
october 2010 by rmohns
There is more to this than a sentimental technology riches to rags to riches story. The history of kernel adoption is evidence of the evolution of value chains and the tension between modular and integrated business architectures. It also supports a hypothesis of why Microsoft could not respond to a tectonic shift of power.
