Mobile providers are going to allow corporations to sponsor your data? Sketchy. Your PSA from the Saucerors: Net Neutrality is a big deal. Pay attention. If you weren’t sufficiently bored by Chris’ iMac story or if you need pictures, more info can be found here. What is Mame? Emulating the old, coin-op arcade games you couldn’t afford as a child. Subsonic is a ridiculously easy to install music server for Windows, Mac & Linux. Ditch iTunes and listen to your music everywhere. Linux what now? Linux Mint & Ubuntu, two user friendly distributions to revive an old computer. OWC kits to install SSD drives in your Mac. Want to nerd out with stats on your Mac? iStat Menus is king, but there are plenty of free alternatives like MenuMeters and atMonitor. Dogecoin, the cryptocurrency that doesn’t have enough rap songs about it, yet. YET! Chris has a batphone in Canada?

Chris still has one. The Muppets sing Octopus’ Garden. Eddie Murphy’s bit from Delirious on Elvis Be warned, this is from the NSFW Eddie Murphy days. Looking for music? Perhaps you should ditch iTunes and MP3’s and try Rdio, Spotify, Pandora or Chris’ choice of Songza. Alternatively, you can keep your music and then subscribe to iTunes Radio for more as Paul suggested. In this week’s OPT-OUT, your heroes discuss Chrome-gate! Some great extensions for Chrome & Firefox get quietly bought out by ad companies that fill them with malware. Click this for more info. A list of the “infected” extensions is maintained here. So check your Browser! Paul doesn’t have the resource hog Flash installed on his computer. Instead, he uses Chrome, when necessary, because it has Flash built-in. Another Mac option is Click to Flash for Safari. FreeOTP is a two-factor authentication application. Say what? If you don’t know what two-factor is and don’t use it, Get on it!
