We not only need our DNS system to be fast, censor-free but also secure from all kinds of government, ISP or hacker snooping.

Complimenting DNSSEC, the popular public-dns service provider OpenDNS has came up with an client side DNS security utility for both Windows and Mac named - "DNSCrypt".

Aimed to be the "last mile" DNS security solution between your computer and ISP, DNSCrypt is the solution for safe-and-secure DNS, securing users against any man-in-the-middle attacks, and DNS traffic snooping.

While we have some excellent free password managers like Lastpass, here is something very interesting from "Ford"!, yes a software for your computer from a car manufacturer.
