Welcome to the WrapUp by CyberNet. This is a collection of news stories and tips that we have collected over the last few days, but never got around to writing about. Don't forget to send in your own tips, or just leave a comment on this page if you think you've got something we should include.
Apple apparently likes to do whatever it can to push its applications and services onto as many Windows users as it can. A good example of this is when trying to download QuickTime where you are required to install iTunes as well. Similarly Apple recently pushed Safari onto Windows users as an "update" regardless of whether it was previously installed.
When Facebook moved away from their original interface (back when it was "The Facebook") people weren't too happy. Since then it's gotten a few tweaks here and there, and they've added features and of course applications, but the look has generally stayed the same.
OpenDNS is a service that many people swear by, and it's become an integral part of the Internet for hundreds of thousands of users. With it you can filter content, protect against phishing, block adult sites, and even have it correct common typos in URL's. For that reason we've seen businesses and schools alike flocking to OpenDNS as a central way to control the content accessible by its users.
In the past, Google has been criticized for offering so many services yet not really integrating them together. iGoogle is the closest thing they have had to meshing services together by offering users the option to add gadgets including those for Gmail, Google Maps, Google Reader and more.
We like to think of a service called Qik as "live YouTube." It's a video service that allows users to stream live video feed from their mobile phones to the web. Qik launched a private alpha release not too long ago and people like Kevin Rose and Robert Scoble have really helped to create some buzz about it.
Welcome to Daily Downloads brought to you by CyberNet! Each weekday we bring you software updates for widely used programs, and it's safe to assume that all the software we list is freeware (we'll try to note the paid-only programs).
Everyday many of us have to open various files on our computers whether they are documents, music, or photo files. It's something we do out of habit without even thinking, so you probably haven't really stopped to think about the process of browsing for files.
