Some software falls short.
This post originally provided a link to a free OS X software, After testing the software on my own system, I've decided to remove the link. In a nutshell, the software did not work as described and it made changes to a system file that some users might not know how to undo if necessary. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks,

'some other purpose'
Why I'd never work for Google, Twitter, or FacebookGoogle+ isn't about sharing cat pictures, it's about serving ads. Twitter's massive network of 140-character bits of information isn't about connecting people across the globe or to view current trends in worldwide thinking, it's about serving ads. Facebook isn't about entertaining yourself with games or sharing interesting links, it's about serving ads.
