You’ve taken steps towards Internet safety on your home computer, but what about your kid’s cell phone? Now that cell phones give users access to the web, a new danger is available at the fingertips of your child.
Luckily if your child has an iPhone or another Apple device a new application has been created that allows you to block inappropriate pages from their web surfing. The application is called Safe Eyes Mobile and is available for $19.99 at www.safeeyes.com/iphone.
For Apple iPhone, Now Available at iPhone App Store
New Browser Selectively Blocks Inappropriate Content In Multiple Categories
To Give Parents Peace-of-Mind
ATLANTA, GA —InternetSafety.com, the recognized leader in Internet safety solutions, today announced that Safe Eyes® Mobile, the first Internet browser that helps parents protect their children from exposure to objectionable content on a mobile device, is now available for purchase through the iPhone App Store. InternetSafety.com’s Safe Eyes Mobile, designed for the Apple iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPod Touch, blocks inappropriate pages while giving users full access to the rest of the Web.
Safe Eyes Mobile works just like the built-in iPhone browser with pinch and tap zoom, bookmarks, built-in Google search and multiple pages, and has no noticeable effect on iPhone performance. The application carries an introductory price of just $19.99; to purchase Safe Eyes Mobile, visit www.safeeyes.com/iphone.
“With Safe Eyes Mobile, parents can allow their children to surf the Web using the iPhone or other Apple mobile device, confident that they are as protected as if they were at home using a PC equipped with Safe Eyes,” said Aaron Kenny, CTO of InternetSafety.com. “As the first browser application to control iPhone content, Safe Eyes Mobile is the first solution to address this serious problem without an all-or-nothing approach.”
Featuring the same award-winning filtering technology found in Safe Eyes software for PCs and Macs, Safe Eyes Mobile checks requested websites against a massive blacklist of potentially objectionable web addresses that is updated on a daily basis. It prevents iPhone and iPod Touch access to pages in the pornography, nudity, sex and tasteless/gross categories by default.
Parents can configure Safe Eyes Mobile software to filter sites in 31 other categories by visiting www.safeeyes.com. Using the PIN-controlled parental controls in the iPhone, they can also turn off the Apple Safari browser and prevent other browsers from being installed, ensuring that Safe Eyes Mobile is the only choice for surfing the Web.
Safe Eyes Mobile is the first all-around choice for Web content protection. The iPhone itself can control Internet browsing only by blocking Web access entirely, while AT&T’s wireless Media Net Parental Controls do not work on the iPhone at all. Safe Eyes Mobile filtering works on both the AT&T cellular network and individual Wi-Fi networks to which the iPhone automatically connects when in range.
Per-phone pricing for Safe Eyes Mobile includes automatic daily updates of the product’s Web site blacklist. To learn more, or to purchase Safe Eyes Mobile at the special introductory price of $19.99, visit www.safeeyes.com/iphone. A demo of Safe Eyes Mobile is also available at www.safeeyes.com/iphonedemo.

There’s an ongoing question in the pet-owner world: Are you a dog person or a cat person? But which is easier on the wallet?
According to industry research firm IBISWorld, the total cost to raise a dog and cat for the full duration of their lives (an estimated 13 years) is $13,330 and $8,506, respectively. That means it costs 56.7 percent more to raise man’s best friend opposed to a furry feline.
In the first year, a dog owner can expect to shell out $1,966, while a cat owner only expends $1,318. From there on the price gap grows to $947 per year for canines compared to a mere $599 for felines.
“Although one might think the initial outlay cost for a dog or cat can be high, it really only represents a mere 2.6 percent or 3.5 percent per pet ,respectively, for the total cost over the animal’s lifetime,” explained Toon van Beeck, senior analyst with IBISWorld. “People need to realize that owning a pet is a significant expense, and in the end, the original purchase price of the animal really doesn’t factor.”
In 2009, there will be about 169 million cats and dogs as pets in the U.S. – this represents an increase of 2.4 percent from 2008. Of these pets, 39 percent of households own a dog and 34 percent own a cat. Despite the problem with overpopulation, 10 percent of dogs and 18 percent of cats are adopted from animal shelters.
