The start of the year is a good time to check which apps have access to your private information. MyPermissions makes this process very easy by linking directly to app permissions pages for popular services such as Google and Facebook.
Windows only: Sudo for Windows is an alternative for those with programs they often have to “Run as Administrator” in Windows XP or Vista, but offers a more convenient and accessible way of getting there. Rather than having to know an administrative password, “SudoWin” lets you use your own Windows password to elevate your privileges, and doesn’t tie your account to the administrator’s data folders when you log in. A handy tool to have around when you need it, and it runs from a right-click context item. Sudo for Windows is a free download for Windows systems only. Thanks, Joe! Sudo for Windows
