With Star Wars: The Force Awakens reviews dropping today and the movie launching on Thursday night, it's hard to avoid spoilers (or avoid the movie at all for that matter). Here's how to set up automatic blocks both globally and on specific websites so you can avoid reading a single new spoiler or rumour.

OpenDNS already offered a great content filtering tool that you could set up on your home Wi-Fi router. Now the DNS provider is making it easier to block impressionable eyes from adult content—and clever proxies and other work-arounds, too.

Whether you want to keep your kids eyes away from inappropriate content or your employees from wasting time online, you'll find a variety of great tools available for filtering internet access in today's Hive Five.

Windows only: Add events to your Google Calendar on-the-fly with the Google Calendar Launchy plug-in. To install, download the gcal.dll file from SourceForge and copy it into your plugins directory (C:\Program Files\Launchy\Plugins). Then restart and invoke Launchy, right-click the command window, and click Plugins. Tick the gCal checkbox, then click Plugin Options to give the plugin your Gmail address and password.

To add events to Gcal once you've set it up, invoke Launchy, type gcal, then press Tab, then enter in your event details using Gcal's plain language syntax. Hit Enter and you're set. You can even specify the calendar you want to add the event to like so:

rake leaves saturday > chores

where chores is the name of the calendar you want to assign the event to. I set up a hacked together version of the Gcal quick add when we took Launchy beyond app launching, but this plugin—by the creator of the Todoist plugin, is a step up. Thanks Jason!
