UPDATED BY GPSPASSION 20080507 : The Moov GPS systems are rebadged Navman S Series systems so their unlocking method works. All you need is a different name for the folder containing the files, so far we have :
- Mio Moov 200 Europe : Cobia_300_32

- Mio Moov 300 USA : Cobia_400_64_NA

I've uploaded two shortcuts to fileman and the registry editor that were not included in the otherwise excellent kit :
1. Download here

3. Place in \Mio Device\Program Files\Unlock\Programs with your Moov connected to your PC.

To make your own shortcuts :
1. With windows notepad, create a file with : #"\My Flash Disk\Program Files\abc\xyz.exe" (adapt for your needs)

2. Save it as xyz.lnk and paste it in the Moov.

A face you can trust

clipper's remarks: When deciding who to trust, the research suggests, people use shortcuts. For example, they look at faces. According to recent work by Nikolaas Oosterhof and Alexander Todorov of Princeton's psychology department, we form our first opinions of someone's trustworthiness through a quick physiognomic snapshot. By studying people's reactions to a range of artificially-generated faces, Oosterhof and Todorov were able to identify a set of features that seemed to engender trust. Working from those findings, they were able to create a continuum: faces with high inner eyebrows and pronounced cheekbones struck people as trustworthy, faces with low inner eyebrows and shallow cheekbones untrustworthy.

In a paper published in June, they suggested that our unconscious bias is a byproduct of more adaptive instincts: the features that make a face strike us as trustworthy, if exaggerated, make a face look happy - with arching inner eyebrows and upturned mouths - and an exaggerated "untrustworthy"

Human beings are social animals, and our first instinct is to trust others. Con men, of course, have long known this - their craft consists largely of playing on this predilection, and turning it to their advantage.

Researchers have discovered that surprisingly small factors - where we meet someone, whether their posture mimics ours, even the slope of their eyebrows or the thickness of their chin - can matter as much or more than what they say about themselves. We size up someone's trustworthiness within milliseconds of meeting them, and while we can revise our first impression, there are powerful psychological tendencies that often prevent us from doing so - tendencies that apply even more strongly if we've grown close.

"Trustworthiness is the very first thing that we decide about a person, and once we've decided, we do all kinds of elaborate gymnastics to believe in people."

With automated tagging, Web links can surprise

With automated tagging, Web links can surprise

NEW YORK (AP) — It wasn't what anyone expected to see while perusing a news article.

But there, in the final paragraph of an online story about the call girl involved in the Eliot Spitzer scandal, Yahoo's automated system was inviting readers to browse through photos of underage girls.

Yahoo Shortcuts, which more frequently offers to help readers search for news and Web sites on topics like "California" or "President Bush," had in this case highlighted the words "underage girls." Readers who passed their mouse over the phrase in The Associated Press story were shown a pop-up window filled with images from Flickr, Yahoo's photo-sharing Web site.

The misstep, which happened in early July, was noted on a technology blog. Editors at the AP contacted Yahoo Inc., where a spokeswoman said the company quickly removed the link. Several of the more provocative photos were apparently taken off of Flickr.

Computers on your local network: ⇧ ⌘ K
Your Utilities folder: ⇧ ⌘ U
Your iDisk: ⇧ ⌘ I

Empty prison in Iraq a $40 million failure

clipper's remarks: Just another example of government waste. Why Can't they spend money on US health care?

By Brian Murphy and Pauline Jelinek / Associated Press

BAGHDAD - In the flatlands north of Baghdad sits a prison with no prisoners. It holds something else: a chronicle of U.S. government waste, misguided planning and construction shortcuts costing $40 million and stretching back to the American overseers who replaced Saddam Hussein.

"It's a bit of a monument in the desert right now because it's not going to be used as a prison," said Stuart Bowen, the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction, whose office plans to release a report Monday detailing the litany of problems at the vacant detention center in Khan Bani Saad.

The pages also add another narrative to the wider probes into the billions lost so far on scrubbed or substandard projects in Iraq and one of the main contractors accused of failing to deliver, the Parsons construction group of Pasadena, Calif.

Enable the Tab Key to Skip between OK and Cancel Button

One of the most annoying things I’ve found in OS X is that the tab key doesnt tab between dialogue box options. Im sure you’ve noticed this as well especially if you are a previous Windows user. Whenever you are presented with a box asking you to hit OK or Cancel it would be logical to allow the tab key move between the two options so you dont have to stop what your doing to pick up the mouse.

To correct this annoyance is as simple as opening up the system preferences and checking a box. Why this isnt on by default, I have no idea. Below is how to enable the tab key to skip between the OK and Cancel button.

Open system preferences

Go to Mouse and Keyboard Settings

Go to Keyboard Shortcuts

select the option at the bottom to allow “All Controls”.

Thats it, your done. Come on Apple this is a pretty obvious setting that should be set as the default.

Firefox Plugins

GreaseMonkey: Without a doubt it has to be the most powerful plugin for FireFox as this plugin allows you to change the functionality, looks of the pages according to one’s needs. UserScripts.org is a huge repository of various scripts which makes browsing pretty simple.

Safari Plugins

SAFT : If you are looking for an ad-blocker, history and bookmark search, URL shortcuts, draggable tabs and a whole lot of other features then this plug-in is a must for you. However, this one comes at a price of $ 12.

Internet Explorer Plugins

Trixie : If you are looking for the features of Greasemonkey for IE then this plugin will act as a savior for you. Although, not all Greasemonkey scripts work on it because IE & Firefox handle things differently. However, these scripts work on it flawlessly.
