  Would you trade big brother for bigger savings?

  http://blog.kevindonahue.com/archives/2011/03/21/would_you_trade_big_brother_for_bigger_savings_/

  Progressive Insurance has thrown down a new Scruples question: Would you give up privacy about your driving habits if you could earn a greater discount? With the introduction of its new driving monitor, Progressive is offering a more subtantial discount on auto insurance – advertised as "up to 30%" off premiums – for users who install the company's device, dubbed "Snapshot". After a 30-day period, drivers return the device and Progressive may offer a discount which subscribers can keep as long as they are Progressive customers. The device watches driving habits such as time of day, braking, and how many miles driven per day during a 30 day period. According to Progressive, those are the only metrics their monitoring, but there's really nothing to prevent the device from noting other items, such as top RPM, top speed, and other metrics. So… would you trade-in a little privacy to save up to 30% on your car insurance?

  NatGeo presents The Most Typical Human 2011

  http://blog.kevindonahue.com/archives/2011/03/05/natgeo_presents_the_most_typical_human_2011/

  If you were to combine all of the character traits of the world's 7 billion people, what would be the typical profile for mankind? NatGeo knows.

  The most typical human: - is a 28-year-old, right handed man - makes less than $12,000 per year, has a cell phone, but no bank account - is Han Chinese Of course, this won't be the most typical human for long. As trends and populations shift, the most typical human in twenty years will likely be younger, perhaps female, and Indian. Pretty fascinating, huh? NatGeo has even more details in this great video:

  How to Prepare a Used Mac for Sale

  http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheAppleBlog/~3/r_q-Yq2-VSw/

  If you’re planning on buying a new machine, it’s a great idea to sell your old Mac to cover some of the new computer’s cost. I’m currently going through the process of preparing my machine to replace it with a new MacBook Pro, so follow along with me as I make sure the process is as painless as possible for both me and my Mac’s next owner. Back Up Your Content What would you do if you sat down at your new computer one day and realized a desperately important file was still on your old hard drive? In order to prevent from happening, you should make a backup of at least your most important files. If you have an external hard drive, that makes it easy, but if you’re only copying text documents or small numbers of photos, even a USB flash drive might be enough. I’d suggest at least making copies of your Documents and Photos folders, since they’re the folders most likely to contain important files. Or, if you’re not sure what you should keep, go whole hog and backup your entire hard drive. You can do this with a utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner, which copies a drive’s contents to another volume to keep them safe. It’s a good idea to make sure you have a large capacity external drive if you’re doing this: one that has more than enough room for your files.

  Deactivate or Deauthorize Software Some applications, such as iTunes and Adobe products, require each of your computers to be authorized to use them. Before you wipe your data, make sure to deactivate any applications that need activating so they can run on your new machine. With iTunes, you can deauthorize a computer by going to Store > Deauthorize Computer. Adobe’s applications can be deactivated by going to Help > Deactivate. Deauthorizing iTunes isn’t as important as it is with Adobe’s applications, since you can deauthorize after the fact through your iTunes account. Destroy Everything Once you’re certain you have a backup of everything you could possibly ever need again, you’re going to want to erase your entire hard drive to ensure there’s nothing personal left on there. To do this, you’ll want to find the OS X install disc that came with your machine. Insert the DVD into your drive, and restart the computer holding down the C key. Instead of loading OS X from your machine, the Installer will load from the disc. Once it does, choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. From there, you’ll be able to select your hard drive and erase it. In order to make sure there’s no way anyone could restore any of your personal data, I’d choose Security Options and select either Zero Out Data, or if you have more time and want to be extra sure there’s nothing left, 7-Pass Erase. Everything on the drive will be overwritten, so there’s a very small chance anything could be recovered.

  Of course, if you don’t want to risk even using the security options, you could always spent a small amount of money on a new hard drive and destroy the old one completely. A large hammer will do the trick, and I’m not even joking. There’s no way anyone’s getting your data back from a hard drive that’s in pieces. Reinstall OS X While the OS X install disc is still in your machine, now is a good time to reinstall the operating system. Simply run the installer from the disc. When your Mac reboots, make sure you don’t start running the Setup Assistant. The new owner of your computer will be happier to set it up as if it were a brand new Mac than have to run from the setup you set up. Once the Setup Assistant appears, just hit Command-Q to quit and eject the disc. When the Mac is next turned on, the Assistant will run and the new user can set it up however he/she wants. Give It a Cleaning No one wants to open a box to find a grubby computer covered in fingerprints and old bits of food. So give your Mac a good cleaning using a soft, damp cloth (when it’s turned off, of course). If it’s a laptop you’re selling, you could also — carefully — turn it upside-down and shake out some of the crumbs in the keyboard and in the hinge. Use a different cloth to wipe away smears and fingerprints from the screen (a microfiber or glasses cloth works well). Conclusion Once you’ve done all of the above, your Mac is ready to be passed on to another user who will hopefully take good care of it. Did I miss any vital steps? Let me know in the comments.
