01 RE: Bernie Sanders' joke about Hillary's email
Last week's Infomanager included a link to an article with the title:
"Sanders is wrong -- Clinton's cybersecurity blunder is a real issue"
At least one InfoManager reader took offense at that inclusion.
We though it would be educational to include our response

02 Ad Blockers: Real help for the most annoying thing in the
world of technology -- advertising!
iPad Apps InfoManager for blocking ads and offensive content In a number
of studies and surveys, internet users list 'online advertising' as their
top dislike. One survey by WebDesign-Review.com a few years back asked :
"You know your web site sucks if . . . " and the number ONE way to tell if a
web site sucks is if there's advertising. Because bandwidth is so precious
in the mobile world, developers are waking up to this and beginning to
realize how truly horrible online advertising really is.

03 New WhereNotes App for Apple Watch Introduces Location-Based Notes
New WhereNotes App for Apple Watch Introduces Location-Based Notes Juicy
Bits, maker of three App Store Best of the Year award winners and two
Editors' Choice apps, released WhereNotes for iPhone and Apple Watch.
WhereNotes makes it easy for users to remember photos, text, and audio
recordings for a specific location and quickly recall those items when they
return. It's like having a private notebook at each place they visit.

Today in History Launches updates for iOS and Android Today in History,
which launched in 2009, provides users with a visual and text time capsule

facts, and more are added regularly by Downshift LLC staff.

05 How do you clone your hard drive?
I just came across a 2007 article on cloning your Mac hard drive. The
author dutifully mentions SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner, both of which I
have recommended in the past.
