02 Net Neutrality : Delay, no delay, IIA, FCC, 1st Amendment, ad blocking and more
UGNN Net Neutrality Well, we knew it would get ugly. It got personally ugly for me, this week when I got flamed in a WIRED article comments section for suggesting it is well within the rights of European telephone systems to block Google ads! People who once upon a time cried 'Advertising sucks' now embracing web advertising??? No folks, I am not kidding . . . but lots of other woes this week so let's get to it :
* FCC and Net-Neutrality Supporters Urge Court to Reject Industry's Request for Delay
* Internet.org: A battle over net neutrality? Or between haves and have-nots?
* IIA Proposes Net Neutrality Legislation to Solve FCC Title II Dilemma
* AT&T et al challenging net neutrality order on 1st Amendment grounds

04 iNotepad for Mac
Apimac has released iNotepad, a new app for OS X that let you write and manage in one single document hundreds or even thousands of texts. With iNotepad you have everything in one place as opposed to what happens with other apps for writing. Every document in iNotepad may contain hundreds or thousands of texts. For example all the reviews that you wrote for your blog or all the research papers that you wrote for college in the last few years.

05 Get an instant and anonymous local group chat going with Hereby
So here we go with a really fresh take on an anonymous, location-based chat app for the iPhone. Hereby connects people and devices within a radius of about 50 meters. Unlike most chat applications, Hereby does not require usernames, or passwords. Because each device speaks directly with the group of other devices nearby, it shines in environments with limited network connectivity. Hereby's peer-to-peer, anonymous nature lends itself extremely well to citizen journalism applications.

Simply click the start button and get one of over 70 exercises to perform within 30 seconds that requires no special equipment. The simple controls make this a must-have app for anyone.

10 Arrive uses Apple Watch to tell family & friends when you arrive
Flow Studio's location-sharing app Arrive is a new Apple Watch app to keep an eye out for. Like any good Apple Watch app should be, Arrive is insanely simple to use. First, you set how long you want to share your position. Then Arrive sends an SMS message with a unique map link to one or more of your existing contacts (no need to maintain a separate list).
