  • Organizing Screens with Mission Control | 61
    Organizing Screens with 7 Mission Control If you’re like a lot of Mac users, you like to do a lot of things at once. No matter how big your screen may be, it can still feel crowded as you open and arrange multiple windows on the desktop. The solution to the problem? Mission Control. The idea behind Mission Control is to show what you’re running all at once. It allows you to quickly swap programs. In addition, Mission Control lets you create multiple virtual desktops (called Spaces) that you can display one at a time. By storing one or more program windows in a single space, you can keep open windows organized without cluttering up a single screen. When you want to view another window, just switch to a different virtual desktop. Project goal: Learn to use Mission Control to create and manage virtual desktops (Spaces). My New Mac, Lion Edition © 2011 by Wallace Wang lion_book-4c.indb 59 9/9/2011 12:04:57 PM What You’ll Be Using To learn how to switch through multiple virtual desktops (Spaces) on your Macintosh using Mission Control, you’ll use the following: > Mission Control > The Safari web browser > The Finder program Starting Mission Control Initially, your Macintosh displays a single desktop, which is what you see when you start up your Macintosh. When you want to create additional virtual desktops, or Spaces, you’ll need to start Mission Control. There are three ways to start Mission Control: > Start Mission Control from the Applications folder or Dock. > Press F9.

Once launched on the computer, the DA session is a separate, containerized session completely isolated from the user's data, settings, hard drive, browser history or information of all kinds. There is no intermingling of anything between the secure, DA government session and the personal side of the computer, Essentially the DA session is a 'dumb' terminal that displays and accepts input---nothing is actually downloaded or uploaded to the user's computer.

  • Interoperability and the Solaris™ 10 Operating System
    Interoperability and the Solaris™ 10 Operating System Interoperability from the Desktop to the Data Center Across a Range of Systems, Software, and Technologies < Investment protection in heterogeneous environments Today, businesses rely on complex, geographically dispersed computing infrastructures that often consist of hundreds of heterogeneous hardware and software platforms from a wide variety of vendors. If these environments are to remain manageable, organizations must be able to rely on interoperable products that work well together. At the same time, as organiza- tions evolve their computing environments with an eye toward improving cost-effectiveness and total cost of ownership (TCO), heavy investments in servers, operating systems, and applications must be protected, and dependence on specific hardware or software vendors must be avoided. The Solaris™ 10 Operating System meets these challenges through a number of different ways, from interoperability with both Linux and Microsoft Windows-based systems through support for a wide range of open standards and open source applications.
