Firefox Plug-in Reveals The Small Army Stalking You On The Web We already know that nothing we do online is totally private. Still, just how many entities are following us through the web, right now? Is it 10? Mozilla, makers of Firefox, have recently released an extension to answer that question. The installation takes all of a click. “When people try Collusion for the first time, they are often shocked or surprised at the large web of trackers that appear. It is disheartening. The system isn’t perfect. Collusion is a lot like if you could see every virus floating about in the real world without a reliable way to know which will actually make you ill. In the meantime, a new, multi-browser plugin called Do Not Track Plus looks like a pretty decent solution to all those trackers. [Hat tip: Lifehacker]
Block Animated Gifs With Gif Block For Firefox Animated Gifs are still popular on today's Internet, albeit for different purposes. Back in the beginning days of the public Internet, webmasters used them to add animated contents to their websites. This soon died out when they realized that repeating ten second animates had a damaging effect to their website's reputation. Today, animated gifs are mainly posted on social networking sites like Facebook or Google+. Their biggest advantage over video is that they can be posted nearly everywhere. If you do not like animated gifs, you probably would like to block them right away on all sites you visit regularly. The add-on places an icon in the browser's status bar that you can use to enable or disable gif images with. When enabled, gifs are not loaded at all. You can use these as indicators that gif images have been blocked. Gif Block is a useful extension for Internet users who do not want to come in contact with animated gifs. Thanks Dougle for the tip!

How to Completely Mask & Anonymize Your BitTorrent Traffic Using Anomos How to Completely Mask & Anonymize Your BitTorrent Traffic Using Anomos A couple times a year, I hear about someone I know receiving that oh-so-scary letter from their ISP telling them to stop torrenting. ISPs will go as far as throttling your bandwidth (without lowering your bill), and sometimes even reporting you to authorities. The next thing you know, you're being summoned to court for copyright violations. You don't even have to be torrenting anything illegal! I've seen a few solutions, such as using a private proxy. BTGuard acts like a proxy and simply anonymizes your traffic when connected through them. A free alternative would be to use ItsHidden VPN service. Today's Null Byte will demonstrate how to get ready for the future. ThePirateBay, the world largest BitTorrent tracker, has plans to offer .atorrent files as an optional download. uTorrent, the largest BitTorrent client, has plans to integrate the Anomos protocol in future releases.

How to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 untethered on Windows or Mac (for non-A5 devices) – Cell Phones & Mobile Device Technology News & Updates Apple has been working its iOS software engineers extra hard to get the newest version of iOS ready to go, and it’s ready for your installing pleasure now. This is mostly a bug fix update with not big feature additions in sight. If you’ve previously been jailbroken, though, you’re going to have to go through the process again. Luckily, the Redsn0w jailbreak tool has been updated to help you with that. Before you embark on this quest, it is important to remember that this is still a tethered jailbreak, which can be a little inconvenient. You will have to tether the device to your computer each time you want to reboot. First thing’s first — you have to download the Redsn0w tool to your Windows or Mac. Next, backup your device, and install the new 5.1.1 iOS software through iTunes or via the new OTA method. Once you have your materials, go ahead and run the Redsn0w executable. Go into Extras and pick the Select IPSW option, and direct Redsn0w to the iOS 5.1 software you just downloaded.
Scientists create most powerful non-nuclear battery ever The chemical xenon difluoride is normally a mild-mannered white powder, but when you crush it with the pressure of 1 million times our atmosphere, it turns into a super substance. Due to some weird science, all the energy used to crush that stuff is stored inside its chemical bonds, making it a terrific energy storage device. In layman's terms, that would be a battery. Of course, it's not going to be easy to apply 1,000,000 atmospheres worth of pressure to this caustic and stinky powder that's normally used to etch circuits on silicon. To withstand that kind of pressure, you need a tiny 2-by-3-inch compartment lined with a couple of diamond anvils. The result? Either way, the scientists at Washington State's chemistry labs behind this discovery have a long way to go before this tech has a commercial application. Via iO9
