The weekend only started and we are already boasting with information. Find what are the hidden categories of Google Video, read about and meet people who own and mod Ford Mustangs, discover the new FAST internet protocol, learn about Cisco routers exploits, how your computer is being hijacked and the Galileo satellite hacking, and much much more.

Software and Services

• Exploring Google Video - Publishers have the option to select 38 different genres they’d like to categorize their video in. Google Video’s website only lists 7 types: Comedy, Music videos, Movies, Sports, Animation, TV shows, Google Picks. You can still order by genre using a special search.

Hardware

• Modded Mustangs is a lively community and an excellent information source for Ford Mustang owners and modderes. In between it’s technical articles, featured rides, how-to’s and forums you can find it all here.
• Exploiting Cisco Routers - This is an old yet important review of some of Cisco’s out of the box and other exploits you need to handle while hardening the router.

Information

• New Internet Tech 153,000 Times Faster Than Modem.
• Cracking the Secret Codes of Europe’s Galileo Satellite - Members of Cornell University’s Global Positioning System Laboratory have cracked the so-called pseudo random number (PRN) codes of Europe’s first global navigation satellite, despite efforts to keep the codes secret.
• Ten signs you’re tech obsessed - Most of us have a love-hate relationship with technology, but for some it goes beyond healthy admiration.
• The Plot To Hijack Your Computer - They watch you surf the Web. They plague you with pop-up ads. Then they cripple your hard drive.

Web Development

• Multi Column layout in CSS - The W3C’s CSS working group recently released a draft of a new multi column layout module–to be included (with possible modifications) into the CSS 3 specs. For those web developers that have been lamenting the lack of adequate multi column support in current supported versions of the CSS specs, this is an exiting addition.
• Taking Control Over Depth Of Field with Photoshop.
