What does a bill like PIPA/SOPA mean to our shareable world? At the TED offices, Clay Shirky delivers a proper manifesto — a call to defend our freedom to create, discuss, link and share, rather than passively consume.
Today, Apple rolled out it’s iOS 5 for iPhones, iPods, and iPads, as well as an update for OS X Lion to version 10.7.2. All updates that are being pushed out are quite big (iOS 5 is 668MB, 10.7.2 is 435.5MB, and Lion Recovery update is 452.5MB)
As parents, we all want to keep our kids safe. When they ride their bicycles, we have them wear a helmet to avoid nasty falls. We teach them to never speak to strangers and we have them look both ways when they cross the street. Raising children is a hard job, and often times, it takes more than just two parents to do so–it takes an entire community.
With the rise of the Internet and children becoming more technologically savvy, parents have to be on-guard against nefarious websites that are set up to either damage the family computer or may cause direct harm to your child. Many machines comes with anti-virus software right out of the box, but how do you protect your child from going to those websites that have malicious software or pornography without expensive or difficult to set up software?
The fine folks at OpenDNS are here to help with their FamilyShield product. Here’s how it works:
1. FamilyShield works at the DNS level, where domain names are mapped to corresponding IP addresses. OpenDNS keeps a database of offending websites and incorporates it into their products.
downrightnow monitors the status of your favorite web services, such as: Facebook, Gmail, Tumblr, Twitter, and YouTube, combining user reports and official announcements to tell you when there’s service trouble.

One annoyance that users of the new Apple OS X Lion (10.7) have been complaining about has been the change from Spaces to Mission Control. Well, it looks like Freemium Technology Services may have a fix for you.
In Spaces, you could assign applications to certain hot key combinations, such as CRTL + 1 and this would bring up, let’s say, the Safari web browser. You could also assign other applications to other Spaces and switch to them by pressing CTRL + 2 and so on.
Mission Control is a little different but the effect is the same and can be re-created by doing the following:
1. Go to Mission Control under System Preferences.
2. Uncheck the option Automatically rearrange spaces on most recent use.
3. For example: Scroll up with 3 fingers simultaneously or launch Mission Control from the Dock. Click on Desktop 3. While you are in Desktop 3 launch iPhoto. Double check with a right click on the iPhoto symbol in the Dock. Choose options. Confirm This Desktop
* To make the behavior more like Spaces, uncheck the box When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application.
