Make Your Keyboard Cat-safe

My keyboard is only caps-lock safe...

PawSense cat-proofs your computer:

When cats walk or climb on your keyboard, they can enter random commands and data, damage your files, and even crash your computer. This can happen whether you are near the computer or have suddenly been called away from it.

PawSense is a software utility that helps protect your computer from cats. It quickly detects and blocks cat typing, and also helps train your cat to stay off the computer keyboard.

Instead of a site’s sub-categories being laid out next to each other, they’re given more space as part of a list, and their URLs also show. (Ignore the “try your search on” above the top result in that screenshot; it’s generated by a Firefox extension.) [Via Barry.]

’We are unaware of this case,’ said Yahoo spokesperson Mary Osako in a statement.

’We condemn punishment of any activity internationally recognized as free expression, whether that punishment takes place in China or anywhere else in the world.’”
