4 Do you still use Google Web search?
I personally moved on to DuckDuckGo on my default browsers on OS X and iOS. The reason primarily was because I felt like Google knew enough about my life. However, in reading ResearchBuss newsletter this weekend, I found another reason.

5 CNN Cybercrime Cartel
You may remember, we reported on the "CNN SCAMMER" . . . well, another spam cartel has picked up the same technique we are tracking in a current email scam campaign
See Image example :
* http://www.ugnn.com/safenetting/ALERTS/cnn_spammer.jpg
In this new campaign they are leveraging Presidential candidates as if in an article in CNN -- but in reality, it's a health / body enhancement scam. This example, they use Donald Trump, but there are several others -- about Hillary and Bernie ... DO NOT CLICK -- THEY ARE SCAMS.

6 PadKeys 2.0
PadKeys utilizes the extra real estate on tablet screens to provide number, punctuation and cursor keys in accustomed places, and to display expanded autocorrect suggestions. The innovative layout is also ergonomic, with frequently-used keys sized larger for typing speed and accuracy.

File Cabinet Pro allows users to open, move, rename, tag, trash, copy and paste files, all from a popover window that appears from the menubar.

9 Quotes: The Dalai Lama
Education is much more than a matter of imparting the knowledge and skills by which narrow goals are achieved. It is also about opening the child's eyes to the needs and rights of others."
