OK, so Apple has not yet agreed, but filed it is now, the app for the Opera Mini on iPhone.
And then we could use it, if Apple says yes:

Often a computer is used by the whole family. All modern operating systems support multiuser. But children and adults require a different protection against faulty operation of the computer and the dangers that lurk on the Internet.
Since I was also recently set up once a PC with Windows 7, which is to be used by both generations, I got to know the child from Microsoft. general safety precautions:
Both Mac and the PC should be set up for young and old user accounts without administrator rights and at least the turn of the operating systems supplied firewalls. Windows 7 to a virus scanner is essential. A backup of your data with available materials or additional software is also very useful.
Components of a child:
As a father for me are the following functions for the protection of children on the importance of computer:
- a time limitation
- the restriction of programs
- a well-customizable Web Filter
Implementation on Mac and Windows 7
MacOs 10.6 (aka Snow Leopard) and Windows 7 (with restrictions) meet these requirements. The difference lies in the implementation.
I'll start with the time limitation. On the Mac can be an exact period of time (minimum 30 min) for weekdays and the weekend set separately, so that the child can divide his time at the computer. For Windows 7, however we can share some hours a day for computer use. The latest, then long faces are among the little ones when they play outside, and only then should not the computer. Otherwise one would have to constantly adjust the times.
Sun suboptimal as the time limit is on Windows 7, the restriction of programs also regulated. As an administrator you get a list of over 100 that is executable (*. exe) is given even though one would really only release the browser. The result is that you release either too much or too little files. In my case it was too little and so I had to when you first registered with the account of the child to share at least another 20 files.
Are you on Mac Firefox is free, this one single application - done. In addition, we have there the opportunity to unlock unique applications. On Windows, - on or off for good.
The web filter can be found initially in Windows 7 not available. The article on youth in the current ct 'to helped me. For the web filter you need the free program Family Safety , but which one Windows Live account just gets on. Apple binds to its customers, but not so clumsy. Much worse is that the complete configuration and also the activity logs only on the website and view are set. And who wants to have his child on the Internet Web requests to a server from Microsoft that is not even likely in Germany. I do not.
Therefore, you should disable this option, but then the Webverhalten the child no longer understand.
noted the positive side, the child is now included in all Windows versions. The implementation gets enough of me to note, in terms of data security but insufficient.
At Apple, all components of the child is below the system settings in one place. They are fine-grained set and the data remains on your machine. The child on the Mac is so for me the clear winner in this little comparison.
The best protection, however, when one discovers the child together with the computer and the Internet, and it points to dangers. In the road to do it, too.

Sometimes it's the little things in life that disturb one. After the switch to itunes 9 was at once the beautiful three-column view (genre, artist, album) has been replaced for the selection of music by a single column, which appeared only in the interpreter. This is also located on the left, so you must scroll horizontally (and nothing bothers me more than horizontal scrolling).
Now, I might, of course, can rumtreiben in the menus. However, if I had taken since the gap Browser true, I do not know but Google did it too. The good old view is one of the menu item Anzeige > Spaltenbrowser > oben restore.

iTunes offers a way lyrics to save the mp3 file. If you made this for 2-3 songs, quickly comes to the desire for automation.
It would be perfect if we would hear the song, it could look at the text and the background of the song would automatically stored in the mp3 file. Those are three wishes at once, that is now not really.
Is it and with Tunes text . TEXT Tunes is a widget for MacOS and, if it is installed on the dashboard. The lyrics are Utamap, MetroLyrics and SING365.com subject but obtained from copyright. A further use may therefore have legal consequences. Therefore, in the settings of the widget and the storage of text in music files is disabled.

One reason to buy my Mac was the integrated backup solution Time Machine . This is the only automated backups are actually carried out.
Time Machine supported as a storage media really only external USB and Firewire hard drives. In a household with multiple computers is a central network storage (NAS), but often useful, since so many users can access network shares on without the need for a server to be running. In addition the current NAS devices and enhanced features such as iTunes and video streaming.
I chose the Western Digital NAS My Book World Edition decided.
To make it Mac for backup via Time Machine to use the most, you have to command the terminal network share for Time Machine to make visible the following:
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences \ TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
Does Time Machine recognized this, it can come to the problem when you save that Time Machine backup is not the image can create. This "Sparsebundle" but you can manually (via a Terminal command) on his Mac also create and then copy it to the release.
CD tm mkdir tm; cd tm HFS+J -volname "sicherungMac" \ hdiutil create-size 300g-fs HFS + J-volname "sicherungMac" \ "MacName_0016cbac5432.sparsebundle"
The name of the Sparsebundles shall be the name of the Mac and its MAC address from. Both can be determined in the terminal.
Mac you get the name with the command uname -n (without. local). The MAC address provides the command ifconfig en0|grep ether and is in the name of Sparsebundles without double points indicated.
uname-n macName.local grep ether ifconfig en0 | grep ether : 32 ether 00: 16: cb: ac: 54: 32
To copy the SparseBundles on the network can share the Finder on the menu Go -> Connect to Server in Mac advertise that.
Then you still need Time Machine in System Preferences and enable only used to select the volume for the backup. After this start after 120 seconds, the first backup. this was successful, one should perhaps define large files such as video or virtual machine as an exception for Time Machine.
