Timing is everything, so the second installment of my Weekly Roundup will touch on Apple's scheduled media event on the 12th.

However, I'm not going to drone on about what features the next iPhone will have or should have — nearly every other tech media source has done a good job of that. Rather, I'll explain how baffled I am at the ongoing speculative debate about how Apple should name the next iPhone.

The first in a (hopefully) recurring series: my weekly roundup of interesting things!

A native OS X GIMP client was released this week, relieving the need to run GIMP bootstrapped on X11. Both this release and an alternative native client crashed on first run on Mountain Lion. Another launch and everything was smooth. Performance seems to be overall better, however small quirks still exist. No show-stoppers so far.

This is a topic that often confused me when I first began experimenting with web and email server configuration. So, here is an insanely quick guide to the fully qualified domain name (FQDN):

A FQDN uniquely identifies a single device using DNS. Where the domain zone "example.com" may refer to any number of frontend web servers, "phantom.example.com" would refer to the server named "phantom" on the example.com domain. FQDNs are important because they unambiguously point to a single server by name. Web and (especially) email servers often rely heavily on a properly-configured FQDN.

It has been a long week for online security.

LinkedIn, Last.fm, and eHarmony have reported that account passwords may have been compromised. In the case of LinkedIn, an estimated 6.5 million password hashes were publicly released, with many more possibly compromised. While Last.fm has not definitively confirmed that passwords have been compromised, they do suggest that all users change their passwords as soon as possible. eHarmony, on the other hand, joins LinkedIn in confirming a breach of security.
