Now that my daughter has acces to the internet I would like to find a browser or utility that will block adult type sites. we usually surf the net together, but you never know. She is using OSX on her clamshell iBook. I would like to keep Safari, they use it at school too. Thanks

lextek:

There are a few OS X options:

KidsBrowser 1.1 (an actual browser that uses the Safari engine):

Kids GoGoGo (a Web filter):

You could also use a filtering app like Privoxy:

Also, a new product that is supposed to be very good is going to be announced next week at the Expo; I can't remember the name of it right now, though. Sorry!

now chat rooms on the other hand should be monitored, but not blocked outright.

They are even trying to pretend it's diet food!

 

[lextek]

I freind of mine had said it's not chicken. They never mention chicken. Just KFC. Supposedly the were raising "chickens" With out feet or beeks to speed up the process. Kind of like Hotel Hell.
Oh and if you peel the skin/breading off it would be lower carb.
