Big spike in spam?
Has anyone else noticed a big spike in spam recently? In 2008 hardly any spam got past my filters, but in the first few days of 2009 I’ve managed to accumulate over 90 junk mails(!)

Grrrr… zombie processes from Apple Mail
I don’t know if anyone else has noticed, but as of the 10.5.6 update, Apple Mail now creates a zombie AddressBookSync process every time you send an e-mail.
If you send enough e-mails, you’ll find that your process table is full and your machine just won’t work properly.
