Facebook privacy app from ReputationDefender changes your settings automatically

If you want a set-it-and-forget-it option for increasing your Facebook privacy, ReputationDefender may have a solution for you. They've launched a new product called PrivacyDefender that shows you a simple diagram of your current settings and changes them for you automatically. PrivacyDefender's default settings tend toward "friends only," while Facebook's still encourage making your info public.

PrivacyDefender is a fast and easy-to-understand way to adjust your Facebook privacy, but it lacks the fine-tuning ability of Facebook's own settings screen. If you have different settings for different groups of friends, or if you're obsessive about your settings, it's worth taking the 10-30 minutes to change your settings manually. Also, does bringing a third party in to handle your privacy settings really help matters? That's just one more company you have to trust to do the right thing.

The Illusionist's Dream is a shape-shifting Time-Waster

The Illusionist's Dream is a simple platformer; you play as a magician who needs to get through each level by transforming into any number of animals that you encounter along the way. Each animal can do different things; the butterfly can obviously fly, but if it encounters a frog, the frog eats it, and you have to start over again. There's also a fox that runs fast and leaps far, but it eats any rabbits that cross its path. That means that, if you may need to be a rabbit later on, you need to take that into account ...
