and most of the consumer gps units i've seen already do something similar when you pair it with a mobile - like tomtom buddies: http://www.tomtom.com/plus/service.php?ID=11&Lid=4

its not a particularly new feature, and was pretty much inevitable the moment they started kitting out phones with gps receivers - surely?

i hated that too, until some blog somewhere said if you change the compatibility settings for msnmsgr.exe to run as "vista" instead of windows7, it revert to the old style behaviour and runs in the system tray instead :)

CCC Create a Rogue CA Certificate 300

Posted by CmdrTaco from the they-even-faked-this-dept dept.
t3rmin4t0r writes "Just when you were breathing easy about Kaminsky, DNS and the word hijacking, by repeating the word SSL in your head, the hackers at CCC were busy at work making a hash of SSL certificate security. Here's the scoop on how they set up their own rogue CA, by (from what I can figure) reversing the hash and engineering a collision up in MD5 space. Until now, MD5 collisions have been ignored because nobody would put in that much effort to create a useful dummy file, but a CA certificate for phishing seems juicy enough to be fodder for the botnets now."
