How To Stop Google & Facebook From Tracking You?

Fluidfacebook 20120223 020638

Nothing is free and the price you pay for using many popular web services is letting them track your internet activity.

So if that makes you slightly uncomfortable here you go…

I protect myself from Facebook tracking me by using a Fluid browser for Facebook. Because I paid the US$5 to register the app, I can use separate cookies from Safari.

For more detailed instructions on how to fight the law go here.

Or you can do like me and delete your time sucking Facebook account.

 

 

Worlds Ugliest Mouse?

M mouse xl

ugly and expensive, great combo…

The Level 10 M Mouse is said to be the first in a line of Level 10 PC peripherals. The open design, the metal casing, the love-it-or-hate-it design, it’s all very reminiscent of the Mad Catz Cyborg R.A.T. mouse sans the gaming-specific additions like adjustable thumb rest and optional weights. Still, the Level 10 M Mouse is unique. A set screw can adjust the height. The top platform is perforated for passive hand cooling while the hollow design helps with air flow.

There’s no word when this mouse will hit the market or the target price. High-end gaming mice can cost well north of $100. With the Level 10 case as a pricing barometer, the Level 10 M Mouse could hit $200.

Just Don’t Sit There…

Sit at a desk all day long sweating over a red hot wireless keyboard? Then take a break, stand up and remember you have legs.

BreakTime is a simple utility that’s designed to help you remember to take breaks away from your computer. It never forgets a break, running in your dock and / or menu bar (or even in the background).
