xB Browser: Anonymous web browsing for the paranoid

by Brad Linder Jun 16th 2008

Whether you're trying to keep the feds off your trail or you just want to keep your mom from figuring out what naughty web sites you've been visiting, xB Browser can help. This web browser is based on Firefox, but adds a ton of security features that allow you to surf the web anonymously and quickly and easily clear all your private data.

The browser evolved from the now defunct Torpark and is capable of connecting to the Tor network of anonymous servers that let you obscure your location and identity. You can also use xB Browser to connect to the XeroBank network, which is a commercial alternative to Tor. You have to pay for access to the XeroBank network.

XeroBank also provides severla other programs for anonymous internet access including xB Mail for sending encrypted emails and xB VPN for connecting to the XeroBank network to anonymize all of your internet transactions.

Portable Tor and Portable Firefox seem to be a much more adequate solution than the xb package. In my experience.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
