There are some nice upgrades on the 910 like a bigger screen, hard drive and additional Plus Services, but overall, for the price I paid, the Go 700 is one heck of a GPS unit and quite a nice add-on to my car. You can read some great reviews on TomTom’s GPS systems, as well as many others over on GPSreview.net. TomTom has some great extra “Plus services” that come along with the purchase of their units. Many of the services require pairing the GPS unit with your phone via Bluetooth…. The phone WILL successfully pair up with the Go 700 (you might have to try a few times) and if you have a service plan like Cingular’s MediaNet (I have the unlimited), then you will be able to connect to TomTom’s Plus services and download updates, get traffic and many more services. You will NOT however be able to connect to the Go 700 and use it as an external speaker/mic for the Treo 650. Basically you won’t be able to use *any* normal bluetooth features, like pairing it with your headset, while in DUN mode…. The unit comes with an internal database of millions of POI’s and you can add additional POI’s by downloading them via the net, or through TomTom’s website, as well as directly via the Plus services via that bluetooth connection on your phone…. And if you get tired of the voices that ship with the unit, you can add additional voices, available via a variety of websites out there.

Beating Big Brother – Bypass those content filters…
I’m sure many of you work in places where you might have some, lets say…”overly aggressive” administrators, or egomaniacal over-controlling managers / executives within your organization or IT department…. I don’t condone surfing the web and wasting your company’s time on looking at porn or other unproductive sites, but there are many legit websites that happen to get filtered out by these overly aggressive content filtering systems…. There are plenty of ways to accomplish this, but generally speaking, it all boils down to using a remote proxy service to conceal your activities and bypass content filters and firewalls within your organization…. As a general rule of thumb, it’s against most company policies to circumvent protective measures they have put in place, or to tinker with system settings unless otherwise told. However, if you have your own personal computer or are in a public place with your laptop and find yourself needing access beyond the filters, this is for you.A good primer and simple way to set this up can be found here: http://www.buzzsurf.com/surfatwork…. These tools in conjunction with a little know-how, and some free open proxies throughout the world, should get you up and running in no time. I wont bore you with all the details on setting this up, most of you will probably be able to figure that out using the websites I listed above, and the setup will vary according to your system…. There are always going to be cases where you need to censor content, but it can be done without disrupting the workplace and causing resentment among your employees.

Company requires RFID injection
Well how’s this for Big Brother in the workplace? This week 2 workers were implanted with RFID chips, which is now required if you need access to the datacenter at Cincinnati based surveillance company CityWatcher.com. It should be a matter of time before the ACLU is all over this. This should be an interesting story to watch. For the full story, head over to SecurityFocus.com.

Avoid using customized Virex eUpdate settings
[ via MacOSXhints.com ] As you probably know, Apple has dropped support for Virex in .Mac, but there are still some people using it. Both Virex 7.2 and 7.5 give you the option to customize you eUpdate settings — the goal of this is to prevent you from having to type in your .Mac password all the time in certain cases…. That basically means that the following does not affect all users — just the users who have set their username and password in the custom eUpdate settings…. Instead of storing your username and password in the Keychain (a task that takes less than 100 lines of code to accomplish for store, retrieve, and update), they store it in a file. In the case of Virex 7.2, the file is stored in your user’s ~/Library -> Preferences folder, in a file named VirexPrefs.vprF …… In the case of Virex 7.5.1, the file is stored in /Library –> Preferences -> com.nai.virex75.prefs.plist with the username as plain text while the password is hashed. Note, though, that all users have access to this file, and while I am not sure how good the hash is, I do know that by simply copying the file to a second machine, you can have access to Virex updates from that second machine — something that all users can do because all users have read access to the file…. If you’re a Virex user, please check for the above-listed files and delete them if you find your .Mac info in them.
We’re Green! Are you?
