Beware of Spam, please change your yahoo password

These days are among those where a lot of spams are being sent specially from yahoo accounts.
Unusual to the previous cases where they wanted to send out the money from the bank of Nigeria or else, this time they are just dropping a line and putting links.
In my experience, a lot of spams are now able to make to my inbox because it is coming from legit yahoo accounts.
The spam filter can not filter those because these are the Email addresses where I did sent Emails to or received from. Moreover, we do tend to send links only in the Emails. That must be making it difficult to filter the spams.
At one point I realized that my yahoo account was also compromised when I checked my "sent" folder. There were two in drafts. Not Good!!
I think it is time to change the password.
At the moment I have only one suggestions: Do not click on the links that you are not familiar with.

Spams  Emails: how they look like.
How to detect them? that is whole another level of complicated question.

Started getting a lot of these lately.

 

#Captivate to get Gingerbread 2.3

Samsung Captivate is getting the updates for android 2.3 Gingerbread.
Back in the days, when I was inside the walls, I was excited when I was able to go from 2.1 to 2.2. A lot of wind has blown since then. I rooted my galaxy S.
I am not going back after having installed the Cyanogenmod 7 into my android?
Thanks, but no thanks!
I heard that it would not be able to handle 2.4. However, CM7 is not bad at all! No bloatwares, better battery life, more control... almost makes me regret why I could not root it sooner!

Copy path information in Lion 10.7

At times, I wished for a shortcut to copy the path information of the files. I had tried Tree, but it was not that much informative.

Finally I found a helpful link in macworld. There were twenty different ways of doing things. This one worked nice for me.

• Open Automator, select the Workflow.

• Select Files & Folders, and drag "Get Selected Finder Items to the workflow"

click for larger view

•  Select Utilities, then drag "Run Shell Script to the workflow". Then change Passinput (on the right) to "as arguments".

click for larger view

• Make the following changes:

for f in "$@"

do

    echo "$f" 
done

to 

for f in "$@"

do
    echo "$f" | pbcopy

done

• Save it as Application in a safe place.

Go to the saved location, select the application that you just saved.  Press command+T to add it to the sidebar. Any time you want to copy the path of a selected item in finder just click the application on the sidebar.  This will simply copy the path information, you can paste.

Of course, you could simply drag the items into the terminal and copy from there. But this one is much better!
