Macintosh : safari 6.0 flash problem (blocked plug in) while playing youtube videos.

 I resolved the issue by doing the following.

1. Make sure to install the most updated version of Flash. http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html

2. Delete all references to Flash or Shockwave in Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plugins > Disabled Plugins

Check to see if the version is older by looking at the Date Created sort field.  If they are Flash related and weren't installed today, delete them.

"a program on your computer has corrupted your default search provider settings for Internet Explorer"

Sometimes when using Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), you will receive a message about a corrupted search provider. It states "a program on your computer has corrupted your default search provider settings for Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer has reset this settings to your original search provider, Bing (www.bing.com). Internet Explorer will now open Search Settings, where you can change this setting or install more search providers.

However, even after changing the search provider settings, the problem remains when you open IE8. 

What is Beta Version means??

A development status given to a program or application that contains most of the major features, but is not yet complete. Sometimes these versions are released only to a select group of people, or to the general public. The testers are usually expected to report any bugs they encounter or any changes they'd like to see before the final release. This is the second major stage of development following the alpha version, and comes before the release candidate.

Anonymous calls for Internet blackout on April 22

London: Hacking collective Anonymous has called for an Internet blackout in protest of a bill, Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), which if signed into law, would make it legal for websites to give personal information to the US government without the user's permission. Anonymous has called for an Internet protest on Monday, April 22, to protest the "illogical and terrorizing bill", an English daily reported. 

The plan doesn't involve shutting down or attacking the Internet in any way, it just wants all websites to go dark in protest for 24 hours on Monday. It is not yet known which websites will participate in this blackout. 

This will not be the first Internet blackout in protest of a government bill. On January 18, 2012, more than 7,000 websites, including Wikipedia, Reddit and Google, protested SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act), which were accused of similar breaches on online privacy. Two days later, the bill was shelved indefinitely. 

President Barack Obama has threatened to veto CISPA for failing to adequately address privacy concerns.
