I just watched the leopard guided tour now up on apple.com And on it the guy talks about being able to share your desktop with someone you're talking to on ichat. Sure it's a good idea, but my only thing about it is security.
Could this feature be abused to someone could gain access to your desktop this way without your permission? I know OS X is supposedly hack resistant with it's linux core and all. I know I'd rarely if ever use this feature but it got me thinking do you all think it's be a safe thing to do. And would it be possible to only give the person a portion of your desktop to look at and not the entire thing. Like a restriction.
I'm just wondering about this, that's all.
