Eli Pariser: Beware online “filter bubbles”
As web companies strive to tailor their services (including news and search results) to our personal tastes, there’s a dangerous unintended consequence: We get trapped in a “filter bubble” and don’t get exposed to information that could challenge or broaden our worldview. Eli Pariser argues powerfully that this will...

TotalFinder
There are several Finder replacement/modification applications. However, apps such as PathFinder get too far away from the original Finder. They begin to feel bloated and messy. TotalFinder, created by BinaryAge, seeks to improve the Mac Finder experience by adding features to Finder that really should have been included in Finder to begin with, yet also keeps the original clean and simple...

LaunchBar
LaunchBar is probably my second favorite/most used application. LaunchBar is like Spotlight on steroids. With LaunchBar, you never have to click through folders in search of the file you are looking for, and you will never have to open your “applications” folder again.
LaunchBar allows you to use a quick hot-key combo (default is command+space bar) to bring up a search bar. You type...

Eugene Volokh, a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, law school, said that if Mr. Zuckerberg sued and was declared a public figure, he would then ”have to show that the filmmakers knew the statements were false, or were reckless about the possibility of falsehood.” (via nytimes.com)

1Password
1Password is my favorite and most used application. It is definitely one of those “you don’t know what you are missing until you use it” type of applications.
1Password stores all of your login information (usernames and passwords) for the websites you visit, credit card information, software serial keys, and secure notes. You will never forget your login information ever again because you will...

BlackBerry users finally get a decent RSS reader that syncs with Google Reader! Feeds for BlackBerry looks like a knock-off of the popular iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch RSS reader known as “Reeder,” but Feeds for BlackBerry still looks good and does the job well.

Sam Harris: Science can answer moral questions
Questions of good and evil, right and wrong are commonly thought unanswerable by science. But Sam Harris argues that science can — and should — be an authority on moral issues, shaping human values and setting out what constitutes a good life.
