If you use Logmein on all the time, you’ll know that working from an Apple OSX machine has always been something of a pain. I have tried a number of things to get around some of the bugs I’ve seen, but few things really help. I found something today that has improved the use of Logmein on a Mac greatly.

Keepass is a simple, yet powerful password management database and tool. It can help you store and centralize passwords for anything from websites to personal lockboxes. Check out why we think Keepass deserves to be called THAT great tool.

Does Windows 8 still require a reboot after joining a domain? There are a few questions I wanted to answer with this Consumer Preview version of Windows 8 I have loaded.
