OS X Yosemite: iBooks, Where are my books stored

Now with the new iBook application on OSX (I'm using Yosemite). The books are a bit harder to find.
I wish it could be as easy as finding song in iTunes. But it's not.

You just have to go look here:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books

It's by users, and it's amazing all the stuff you can find there...

Using terminal you can got into epub files and look at it's content.


Happy learning.

OSX Yosemite: Automatically restarts after showing screen saver a certain amount of time

It has been 3 days that my computer MacBook Air has been restarting without any warning while on the screen saver. Backup, anti-virus scan, copy, movie on the Apple TV stopping because the computer was "restarting". (Actually, it was login out
I finally figured it out after a couple research with my friend Google.

I had the same problem has described int this question:
OSX Mountain Lion: Automatically restarts after showing screen saver a certain amount of time

And it was the same solution:

The only difference is that I know when I changed the setting. Lately I had problems with Steam, Borderland 2 and the Accessibility settings. The solution was to disable everything and add Steam back. So the Log out after X minutes of inactivity setting must have reset it self.

Today, I learned a bit more about OS X,
Happy learning.

Review: TwelveSouth Travel Journal BookBook

Lately I bought the Twelve South BookBook, TS-12-1319, Travel Journal Vintage Brown .

This is a great looking product. A leather covered case to store your power cord, headphone and other travel accessories.
The Wireless Magic Trackpad and the Apple USB Superdrive fit tightly, an Apple Wireless Keyboard MC184LL/B doesn't fit. But the basics does fit very well.



It has a soft pocket for an iPad of any size. Some straps to hold the stuff in place. And small net pockets to hold the smaller items like dongles, USB keys, and SD cards. A pocket the size of and iPod or iPhone (I don't think that the bigger iPhone 6 fits).
With all those pockets and straps the case is versatile enough to hold almost anything.

So if you like leather and book like cases, this product is for you. Good looking and big enough for the basic accessories that you need to carry. It better then to just drop them in a bag.

If TwelveSouth, or any other company wants an idea, make that BookBook 0ne (1) centimetre wider, sometimes we need to play Tetris with the accessories to make them fit well.
