What is this and how do I get rid of it?

I was cleaning my keyboard this morning and when I looked back at the screen, it was showing this strange descriptive text on the screen. It's giving me a play-by-play of everything I'm doing with the mouse and keyboard and I don't need to see it. I looked all around and searched high and low, but I can't find any way to shut it off. It's obvious it was toggled somehow while I was wiping the keys down, and it seems like it's an Accesibility feature, but I don't know where the controls for it are. Can someone help me out?
Thanks!

Oh, that's part of Voice Over? Ok, I had the audio turned off, so I wasn't hearing anything, hence my confusion.
Awesome, thanks for your help!

That icon indicates your iPhone is rotation locked.
To remove it, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. Tap the similar looking icon there to turn it off.

A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

Google changed their menu bar. Firefox hasn't used Google for the default homepage since the Firefox 3.6 versions. Firefox 4+ versions use '''about:home'''.<br />

If you didn't install anything it should be fine these appear to be fakes to get you to buy software you don't need.

\Based on other forum users' posts, it seems like all you need to do is Restore the phone from your latest backup, and that should "refresh" your phone's appraisal of its data storage.

When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes, a lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this and how can I get rid of it to free up some space?

When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes and click on my iPod, I can see a graph showing how much space is available on my iPod and what it is being taken up by. A lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this? I have a big iTunes library, with about 2000 songs, so I don't want all this space taken up by something I don't know what it is. How can I get rid of it?

OmniDiskSweeper is a good program to see what's taking up space: http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/

I have 5.43gb of storage on my iphone taken up by other, what is this and how can i get rid of it?

My iPhone is 16gb and i have no music, 500ish photos, and about 10 apps I had to delete everything off it because i couldn't take any photos because i had no space! How do i get rid of the storage other is taking up?

I would probably suggest backing up them photos to your computer and then performing a restore on the phone which will wipe everything off and start again.
Instructions for restore can be found here:

This is at the top of my screen right underneath where you type in the url, and I don't know how to get rid of it. It only seems to be there when I am a certain website. Sometimes I see stuff like this when a page is loading but then it goes away.

I reset Firefox because for the last month or so it's been telling me that by doing so I can solve some problems with FF. I was able to disable the virtual keyboard in the plugins and the extensions. It didn't seem to get rid of the weird thing though.

What is this and how do I get rid of it?
