AeroFS - File Sync Without Servers

2012-11-07 00:00:00 -0500

Ultimate Privacy

AeroFS will only share your files with those who you invite. Files are never stored in the cloud unless you specifically enable Cloud Backup.

I just got beta access. It'll be interesting to see how it compares to dropbox. It'll be interesting to see how well it is able to sync to my other machines without a central server to pivot from. Since my computers tend to stay on, it may not be an issue.

Use PrivacyFix App to Summarize your G+ and Facebook Privacy Settings, Then Fix Them

2012-10-10 00:00:00 -0400

PrivacyFix is an extension for Chrome and Firefox to analyze your privacy settings for G+, Facebook, and other ad tracking sites.  It then helps you change the settings by taking you directly to the g+ and fb settings in your browser.  Sadly it isn't available for Safari nor IE??? but you aren't still using IE, are you? :)

I highly recommend that you try this tool out.  Internet privacy gets complicated and Facebook, especially, doesn't make it easy to find and change your settings.  PrivacyFix also does a nice job of expelling the ramifications of enabling/disabling each setting..

Now this is something I've wanted for a while. A useable pen input system on a tablet. The Galaxy Note 10.1 looks promising. I'll wait for more reviews. I already have an iPad, but maybe the wife will upgrade her aging laptop to a tablet. 

Samsung bets heavily on the stylus with new Galaxy Note 10.1
