01 ICANN : Chances are you'll get the wrong story - except money & corruption
Money and corruption. That seems to be the order of the day in today's world. Obama's handoff of the internet has become part of the political battleground, as a pawn between the Trump and Clinton campaigns. Except if you can ignore the media, you might just understand it's not about politics, and it's not about freedom of speech no matter what they tell you. It's about a (just barely) functioning internet the way it is and the prospects of removing oversight from the corrupted ICANN. The biggest problem with the internet today is the lack of responsibility. Now, they want to remove the last vestige of that.

03 Opera launches free unlimited VPN
While most VPNs either require a subscription fee or installing additional software on your PC, Opera's latest update to its stable desktop browser version adds VPN functionality for free and turning it on is as simple as clicking a button.
Powered by Opera subsidiary SurfEasy, the VPN uses a 256-bit AES encrypted connection and does not log your browsing history. Users can choose from five server locations or let the browser select the most optimal server.

05 Duplicate Sweeper
The release of MacOS Sierra update by Apple earlier this week has brought us a range of useful new features, including Siri on a Mac and the new Messages app. Another big reason to update to MacOS Sierra is its optimized storage feature, which automatically clears up old files and documents, deletes old movies and Mail attachments and empties trash automatically.

06 Settings in iOS 10
iOS's Settings app is the quiet MVP of Apple's mobile operating system: It's the place you go to when you need to get something done, and get it done your way. So whenever you update iOS on your iPhone or iPad, it pays to peruse the settings to find, enable, and configure any new features just to your liking.

07 The great, and well-hidden, storage tool in mac OS Sierra
Robin Harris has posted this story on ZDNet.com. The cool feature that helps you manage capacity use is buried in the About This Mac, not System Preferences.
