The first impression of another person it’s not really a single impression. We’re really forming two. We’re judging how warm and trustworthy the person is, and that’s trying to answer the question, “What are this person’s intentions toward me?” And we’re also asking ourselves, “How strong and competent is this person?” That’s really about whether or not they’re capable of enacting their intentions.

Research shows people respond more positively to someone who comes across trustworthy rather than confident.

Corporate Desires vs Organic Heroes
“The processed food and chemical companies have paid over $40 million to hide the science experiment that has secretly ended up on the dinner plates of hundreds of millions of unknowing Americans.”

The only exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions, running down their friends, side stepping responsibility and pushing their luck!

This Ransomware must be ignored!
Enterprising virus developers have piggy-backed on to the fear of copyright infringement and SOPA branding to lure victims into parting with their hard-earned cash. By telling users that their IP address is on a copyright infringement blacklist, the ‘ransomware’ holds the computer hostage, warning that unless the victim hands over money, data will be wiped.

If you get it, Chester Wisniewski from Sophos recommends the best course of action is to restore from a backup to a nice clean system and be sure to apply all patches and security precautions.

50% of adults have smartphones, so someone could use them for reconnaissance
PlaceRaider App collects images randomly without user knowing, and using sensor data from the phone a 3D model can be constructed. PlaceRaider is good enough to partake in “virtual burglary.”

How to read .MSG files with Evolution (on Ubuntu Linux)
There is always problems opening MS Outlook created ‘.MSG’ file attachments that are sent to recipients that do not have Outlook. If you are a Linux user, and you are using the Evolution email client, I have found the best solution to do this after trying a couple of others.
1. I tried the options of installing the relevant Perl modules and msgconvert.pl script as described in the following blogs;
http://www.matijs.net/software/msgconv/
http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Read_Microsoft_Outlook_.MSG_files_in_Linux
http://www.avtechpulse.com/opensource/email.html
Then running the msgconvert.pl script by executing
perl -w msgconvert.pl YourMessage.msg
No matter what I did I got back an error, “Parsing Downloads/filename.msg as OLE file failed at /home/geoffrey/msgconvert.pl line 30”.
2. So instead I tried the solution below that adds the relevant modules to add MS Exchange compatibility to the Evolution E-mail Application on Ubuntu. This worked brilliantly.
sudo apt-get install evolution-mapi

This means that now when you use Evolution to open an email that has a .MSG attachment, press the orange right-pointing arrow to have Evolution open the Outlook message in-line. It just works!
Thanks to d~_*b on http://ubuntu.5.n6.nabble.com/ for this idea.
