Electric Jeepney (E-Jeepney), the first public transport system of its kind in Southeast Asia, coasts along Ayala Avenue in the Philippines’ financial capital of Makati City. The jeepneys – electric-powered version of the Philippine icon which traces its roots to the US Willy’s jeep – were launched by GRIPP (Green Renewable Independent Power Producer), Greenpeace, and the Makati City Government. The Electric Jeepneys, part of an innovative project led by GRIPP, are meant to steer clear of the use of fossil fuels to help mitigate climate change, even as they address urban problems such as air pollution and solid waste.

The Memento team are back with their latest hacked firmware for use with the Memor 32 memory card for PS2. The new v1.1 build now adds Dev1 and Dev 3 mode which allows for the launching of up to four different applications from the memory card/USB hdd and memory stick.
Memento Team Qoute:
Like promised in our “to-do” list, we have added the first important feature to the Memento Firmware! Dev1 and DEV 3 full implementation. It is now possible to launch up to four different .ELF applications from DEV1 (Memor32 memory card) and four different .ELF applications from DEV3 (USB Flash memory stick).
DEV2 (HDD boot of .ELF Files) will be implemented with next Firmware update, toghether with the HDD Support.
Main Features of this version :
– Works on v3-v16(SCPH-7900x) PAL and USA PS2.
– Support for DVD-based ps2 games by using our custom transparent patcher (game files are not modified and patched discs will work with both Memento firmware and normal modchips/swap discs).
With Memento V1.0 release we belive that we have finally created the first true Plug and Play Modchip for the PS2 using the hardware of the memor32 powered by our Memento software!.
Additional features coming in the next releases:
– .ELF files boot from USB, Memory Card and HDD to give the Memento the same DEVOULTION functions as found on higher end modchip like DMS4, Infinity or Crystal .
– HDD and USB-HDD support to enable boot of “unpatched” game ISO files from HDD and USB-HDD!
– Support for PS2 CD based games.
– User interface to control and customize settings and options on the Memento/Ps2.
– Support for PS1 based games
More addition will be announced on coming releases.

If your digital-music library is more than a few years old, chances are it contains songs from a variety of sources: ripped CDs, peer-to-peer services, online music stores, good-hearted friends, and so on. The only problem with such an eclectic collection is that nothing’s consistent: Volume levels jump up and down from one song to the next, album art shows up sporadically, and the ID3 tags—well, let’s just say the band that sings “American Idiot†isn’t named Greene Dye. Thankfully, these are easy problems to fix, if you have the right tools. We’ll show you how to change tags and find album art as well as tweak volume levels using freeware apps.

If you’ve been smirking because of the latest security problems coming out of Redmond, such as the Windows XP+IE7+Adobe Acrobat/Reader threat. It may be time to sober up. According to PCWorld.com on Saturday, URI-handling problems like Mailto: are also likely to exist in Windows’ biggest rivals: MacOS X and Linux. So, what’s a URI? URI is short for “Uniform Resource Identifier.” A URI identifies a point of content on the Internet, such as a web page (also known as a URL), an email address, a Telnet server, and so forth.
In the Meantime…
…you know the drill. Hover the mouse over a URL or URI from a suspicious source to find out where it really points to, ignore all those dire warnings from “your bank” or from “eBay” that your account’s gone down the tubes unless you click now, and, in general: think before you click.
