According to the U.S. Census, there are approximately 60 million children under the age of 15 living in the United States.  Many of these children look to the Internet for helpful information and wholesome entertainment but end up stumbling across inappropriate content.Take a look at the newly released Yippy, the world’s first family friendly cloud computing portal, that provides a controlled digital “sandbox” which allows kids to safely surf the web, engage in individual or group video-chat, e-mail, play games, listen to music, and watch videos with other kids.

Completely free of charge, Yippy, www.yippy.com  provides kids with a safe and controlled “cloud” environment where minors will not inadvertently or purposefully access adult content. The company’s Internet-based applications include games, videos, audio/music, movies, chat, news, productivity tools (email, calendar, documents, and collaboration), multi-person video conferencing, Voice-Over-Internet Protocol (VoIP), search engine, and social networking tools that are all free from the unseemly elements of the Internet and completely secure. 

 “As a nation, we're paying a steep cost for unlimited, uncensored access to the Internet with its contribution to the deterioration of family values and diminished employee productivity,” says Richard Granville, the Fort Myers-based CEO of Cinnabar Ventures, the creators of Yippy.  “We must stop the theft of a child’s innocence which is subject to untoward influence from web searches on unregulated search engines.” Granville, age 41, is putting his money where his mouth is, having invested over $8M of his assets, along with friends and family, into the creation of this new operating system which he hopes will become the new Internet gold standard in cloud computing. Granville - who earlier in his career served as Chairman and CEO of Grace Development, Inc., a holding company for wholly-owned subsidiary Avana Communications - is the architect of a paradigm shift in computing technology, communications and entertainment.

Yippy, a cloud-based operating system powered by the Clusty search engine - available for free download at yippy.com or available via the web at www.yippy.com - means that virtually any computer, whether it is a PDA, notebook or desktop, can be accessed as if from a computer terminal. The word “cloud” is used as a metaphor for the Internet and its computer network and infrastructure. Cloud computing is Internet-based computing technology which empowers users to tap into the “cloud” for all their computing needs. Cinnabar’s primary focus is on delivering their services to the family and business markets.   

"Yippy is one of the first end-to-end internet computing solution to market with the family in mind from inception," says Rick Lisa, President, Cinnabar Ventures who left a senior post at AMD to join the company earlier this year. "Yippy is providing parents with free, easy-to-use software which ensures that children have a safer, more productive Internet experience filled with entertainment and good times."
