When (if?) you release another update, could you fix the frequency stepping in the FM tuner for the US region? Currently, it tunes in .1 MHz increments (89.1, 89.2, 89.3, etc), when it should tune in .2 MHz increments (89.1, 89.3, 89.5, etc). Consequentially, it takes twice as long to tune manually, and even scanning (hold left or right on the pad until the tuner begins stepping automatically) for the next station is unnecessarily slow.
It's particularly puzzling to me that it behaves this way, given that:
a) the Fuze+ was the same way at launch and was later fixed through a firmware update, and
b) when the FM region is set to "World", the Zip tunes correctly for non-US stations (.05 MHz increments). I think, though I'm not sure, that this also didn't originally behave properly and was fixed with this or a previous update.
I'm surprised the Zip was released with the same "bug" the Fuze+ had at launch. I'm certainly not a programmer, but this seems like a simple fix.

M3U Playlist work now Perfect.
Please.increase Playlist Max Entry Limit to 2000.
Re: Sansa Clip Zip Firmware 01.01.20
With the new firmware I get RDS informations for most of the radio stations in my hometown here in northern Germany like this station:
A few stations have a low signal and show no RDS informations.
Only one radio station has a wrong RDS name: KBQN. The right RDS name would be "OLDIE 95". Note " " between "OLDIE" and "95".

While I'm glad to see the playlist, memory card compatibility and RDS problems have been fixed, I'm disappointed that the track count info and total/elapsed time was not added back to the Now Playing screen. This is basic information desired by (dare I say) most, if not all users and simply should not have been removed in the 1st place.
I can't help but think the person who made the decision to eliminate this critical information and subsequently not add it back through any of the firmware updates to this model must be a "suit" and not in touch with either the operation of the player, nor the people that use it.
Add the fact that this has been the most requested feature to bring back since the advent of the model last year, and it has not been done further disappoints me when SanDisk has in the past been very responsive to user's feedback and requests in their firmware development. I only hope this "I know what people want; they don't" attitude hasn't done SanDisk irreparable harm to SanDisk's reputation and future sales of such products.
Just my 2 cents . . . rant over.
Re: Sansa Clip Zip Firmware 01.01.20
Very much agreed that the bug fixes are great to see and appreciated (I have a microSD card that wasn't usable with the player--hope it is, now); but just sad and disappointing that basic usability features that are on most other players, including those of SanDisk, still haven't been put back on the Clip Zip: e.g. track no/.total tracks no., and elapsed time/total time.
One can't but wonder why they were omitted in the first place and if SanDisk had run the player by consumers during development (I can't imagine that this would not have occurred, as this is pretty standard-- but I volunteer for the future!). Unobscured album art is pretty, but not in exchange for deleting basic playing and use info. In my humble (user) opinion.
Re: Sansa Clip Zip Firmware 01.01.20
Progress in some areas but disappointed in the the lack of the track count info/ total time elapsed issue others speak of.
I check this site everyday in hope of the new firmware. I was thrilled to see it finally out but was sadly disheartened that this simple feature was not included. Clip, clip +, and clip zip, I have them all [love them] and did not return the clip zip hoping the fundamental part of the clip zip, eg. track count info/ total time elapsed would be eventually implemented in new firmware. 6 months of waiting and no update on this. Die hard fan of Sandisk and first time I actually feel let down. Regardless, its a great product; if I can only get the clip plus firmware on the clip zip. About to download it right now but apparantly from what I am reading, the m3u issue is resolved which is moving in the right direction.There are pretty specific requests users make for the player and while its impossible to fulfill all of them, how about fulfilling a fundamental part of an mp3 player? Been patient for a while. Not mad, just disappointed. Given the time frame of firmware updates, guess I will patiently wait and hope for the next update.
Re: Sansa Clip Zip Firmware 01.01.20
Ah, the solution is in plain sight. if you have a handy Clip, Clip+, or e200 Sansa, turn it on and start a track playing.
Tap the center button on the earlier device. The Zip could really use this feature.
Simplicity in design, I really love that. That brief single tap of the center button starts a "rolling" display function. This is the missing link in the little Zip's function repertoire. One tap, and the display changes data shown. First tap, let's drop the rating stars and show time elapsed / time remaining. Simplicity. When navigating through a track, those times are really, really handy. I'd love to have this on the Zip. Features like the cool graphic display on the Clip+ are another matter, but times would be a welcome function.
Time to take the new build for a spin.
Re: Sansa Clip Zip Firmware 01.01.20
I must mention, regarding Rhapsody functionality, I am puzzled. The Recently Added list does update with Rhapsody transferred tracks, at least it does on my target device. I see it listed as a known issue.
As for the Artist Information display, this function is not enabled on the Clip Zip in the first place. On previous Sansa models, the rolling alternate display mode (activated by a brief tap of the center button) allows you to roll between the current display, a parametric display, Next Track name, and Artist Information.
I have tested the Artist Information data from Rhapsody, and the earlier players are dutifully displaying it as provided by the Rhapsody client. The album, artist, and year do display, but the cool "snippets" of information about the artist or album are missing, replaced by a wee "dot". Don't worry, it isn't the Sansa's fault, the artist information files on the device all contain a single "dot" character as that's all we have in the info files. The "ball's in Rhapsody's court" on this one. Hopefully they'll fix the issue, as Artist Information is fun, I miss the feature.

SUPPING IN SEPTEMBER: Sunset magazine has been synonymous with Western living for decades, but for many years the readers had to put its recipes and suggestions into practice on their own. Then the Menlo Park publication began to step out of its food-filled, patio-lined pages, hosting events that boasted a certain Sunsetian flair. One of the premiere happenings, an annual favorite that's now a staple of early autumn? Savor the Central Coast. The three-day gathering is very much about delicious dishes, and local wines, and visits of the area's landmarks (think Hearst Castle and other pretty destinations). It has become popular, for sure, meaning that events do sell out (like the opening night at the San Simeon castle). The time to purchase a ticket is well ahead of late September, and the organizers of the Savor have gone one better: They've put weekend passes on sale through the end of May.
REALLY ON SALE: A weekend main event pass is typically $150, but if you purchase it through Friday, May 31, you can nab it for $100. Nope, a special code isn't needed, that's just the price Savor has set. Wine tastings, food tastings, farm-to-table haps, and more goodies are included in the weekend main event pass. At any rate, if you do want to attend the Sept. 29-31 weekend, you should move on your ticket soon.
BECAUSE.. The schedule is a draw. There are more hands-on activities and demos, and adventure tours are now two days, instead of one. A new Pismo Beach event -- it's cocktail-based -- will be a Friday night thing, too. And picturesque Santa Margarita Ranch outside San Luis Obispo is still a main hub for all of the celeb chefs and winemakers. Plus the fans of Sunset, of course. It's nice to live beyond the pages of the magazine for a few early fall days.

By 1983, Nissan was in the final stages of phasing out the Datsun name in the North American market, so every Datsun had a little "by Nissan" addendum on badges. Datsun, Nissan, whatever- this one will be scrap steel soon!
You've got to love all the goofy science-fiction gadgetry and Mars-base-style decorations on Datsuns of this era. How about these snazzy hood "vents?"
Goodbye, little Datsun! I saw this car at a high-turnover East Bay self-service wrecking yard a couple of weeks ago, which means its remaining time is short.

It was just a few weeks ago when the media and web was buzzing about the supposed split between attention-whores Spencer Pratt and wife Heidi Montag.
Unfortunately for the former Hills stars, it was quickly discovered the split was fake. Then they tried to take things up a notch by having Heidi file for legal separation, but unfortunately that failed to convince the public as well. Proof that the 15 minutes of these two is quickly winding down? Well earlier this week, they leaked out another fake story during which they both accused each other of cheating, and fortunately, none of the major news outlet (PEOPLE, UsWeekly, TMZ) would even publish it.
This seems to have put Spencer in panic mode, and according to RadarOnline, his latest ploy for attention is now to taking to his twitter page to bash others. Spencer's first victim seemed to be a random fan of the show from England. The nutjob tweeted the following to the woman, "Glad we didn't let you in America foreigner b–ch!"
"USA is to [sic] smart for you fool. log off our American website and go do something foreigner," he continued.
Then it was time to post random unprovoked attacks against his Hills castmates Whitney Port, Audrina Patridge and Lo Bosworth.
"Audrina has fake everything. Damn we are fakeass reality show folios."
"No whitney port sucks and has since we were in high school together before all her surgeries."
"Lo has been banging 60 year old rich guys on the side to keep up her look because she only gets paid few grand and plays star HAHA."
"I pray to see @lo bosworth ugly ass out in a club now that i can do whatever i want without feeling bad for heidi! lo your [sic] f–ked! Wh-re!"
And 4 minutes remain…

Two soldiers from Erie County, John Elmer Bauer and G. Lynn Hughes, both served in Infantry Bands during World War One. George Lynn Hughes was born in Huron in 1888. He entered the service on May 26, 1918, and was associated with the 125th Infantry Band. John Elmer Bauer, also known as Elmer Bauer, was born in Sandusky on January 6, 1896. Bauer entered the service on May 26 1918, and was a musician with the 39th Infantry Band. The August 30, 1919 Sandusky Star Journal reported that Bauer and Hughes, along with Harold Fort and Herb Lechler, were organizing a musical group called "The Harmony Four." In 1921 J. Elmer Bauer and G. Lynn Hughes ran a music store called the Bauer-Hughes Music Company, located on Decatur Street. Later, Mr. Bauer ran the business alone as "Bauer's Everything Musical."
G. Lynn Hughes worked at the Hinde and Dauch Paper Co. for thirty-seven years. He passed away in 1971. J. Elmer Bauer moved to Pinellas County, Florida, where he died on April 8, 1975. Mr. Bauer's obituary in the St. Petersburg Times stated that in the eight years that he played the organ at the Tramor Cafeteria, he closed every evening's performance with "God bless America." Pictured below is J. Elmer Bauer at the organ:

|Egyptian police seize ammunition smuggled from Libya
|[Libya Herald] Egyptian coppers in Matruh seized a carload of ammunition yesterday morning that they say had been smuggled across the border from Libya.
The vehicle was seized by officers acting on reports that a car carrying thousands of rounds of live ammunition was travelling on the desert road between Sallum and Matruh, near to the border with Libya.
Officers stopped the car, a Toyota without number plates, and found 8,750 cartridges for small arms in the boot. The intelligence that they received had said that the ammunition had been smuggled across the land border with Libya.
Matruh's judicial police department have been tasked with writing a report on the provenance of the seized contraband.

New York, September 16, 2010--The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights unanimously held that media premises are exempt from police searches, marking a major victory for press freedom across the continent on Tuesday, the Committee to Protect Journalists said. CPJ had joined in the amicus curiae.
"This ruling was an acid test for the court and for media freedom across Europe," said Geoffrey Robertson QC, counsel for a coalition of intervening organizations. "It sets a high benchmark for protection of journalistic materials and will force police and prosecutors across Europe, from Russia to France, to change their practices."
In its decision in Sanoma v. the Netherlands, the court reversed an earlier ruling and held that police cannot search media premises or seize journalistic materials unless they can show it is absolutely necessary in the investigation of a serious crime and have obtained a judicial warrant.
The judgment upholds and builds on earlier rulings such as Goodwin v. UK, which established the right of journalists to protect their sources.
"In this judgment, the European court lays down a clear marker for the protection of journalistic materials," said Peter Noorlander, legal director at the Media Legal Defence Initiative. "This will force a change in law and practice across Europe, not only in countries like Russia and Romania but also in France and the Netherlands, where new legislation is now required."
CPJ, the Media Legal Defence Initiative, ARTICLE 19, Guardian News and Media Limited, and the Open Society Justice Initiative intervened jointly in the lawsuit, with support from The Associated Press, Bloomberg News, Index on Censorship, the European Newspaper Publishers Association, Condé Nast Publications, Hearst Corporation, the National Geographic Society, the New York Times Company, La Repubblica, Reuters, Time Inc., The Washington Post Company, and the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers.

Repeller 360° Uses Wind Power to Prevent Birds from LandingMonday, July 2nd, 2012
Mission Viejo CA – Bird-B-Gone, Inc. leading manufacturer of effective, humane bird deterrents would like to announce the addition of a new product, The Repeller 360.
The Repeller 360° is a physical bird deterrent that rotates in the wind to deter large birds from landing in unwanted areas such as boats, docks, signs, rooftops, A.C. units and more.
Covering a 6 ft diameter, the Repeller 360° features reflective "predator eyes" to confuse and scare birds from coming near the protected area. The arms work to "sweep" birds off surfaces, while the reflective predator eyes create a visual scare zone that birds will want to avoid. (more…)

In 1929, Will Rogers was the Grand Marshall of the first ever cross-country air race for Women pilots.
They raced from Santa Monica, CA to Cleveland, OH, and each woman had to be a certified airplane mechanic with considerable flying experience.
A rarity at the time.
The most unique entry was the Alexander Eaglerock Bullet.
It was the only low mono-wing entry, featured the first retractable gear, and was the only entry with an enclosed cabin built to hold four people and the family dog.
It finished second in the light engine division against the most up-to-date military aricraft of the day.
After an engine change it won the Cleveland Air Races.
Seventy eight years later, Mary Senft Hanson, an accomplished pilot and experimental aircraft builder, is resurrecting an important part of aviation history: the ground-up re-creation of the 1929 Alexander Eaglerock Bullet.
Only 11 were originally built, none survived, and the project is almost complete.

TETRIX Samantha Module
From ROBOTC API Guide
TETRIX → TETRIX Samantha Module
Gather the Required Information
Flash the Samantha Module
|You must now update the Samantha Module's firmware and install the config file you created using the Network Config tool; otherwise the Samantha Module will not recognize your network.
|1. Unplug the USB flash drive from your computer and (making sure the battery is unplugged) plug it into the Samantha Module. Plug in the battery while holding down the red/black button on top of the module. Release the button approximately 3 seconds after the red light appears on the module.
|2. The Samantha Module will flash the red light twice in rapid succession and then flash the white repeatedly. You may also see the flash drive's LED flickering (if applicable). This means the Samantha Module is installing the firmware. When it's done, it will flash the red, white, and blue lights in sequence, then repeat the process. Be patient; this process normally takes 20-30 seconds and as long as 2-3 minutes. When it is done it should have a solid red light and a blinking white light (meaning it is connected to the network).

Okay that is terrible analogy. Mike Cramer is may be a good high school coach but there are a lot of guys that are good and been in the game. I have been watching Lima Land football for 25+ years and I have seen good and bad. However, to say Tim Goodwin is not the reason for the success at Marion Local and Mike Cramer is then you do not hear or see Mike Cramer in 10+ years is dumb. I am so unsure of the love affair with Mike Cramer. Here is an analogy sounds like Mike Cramer is a lot more Jon Gurden. Decent head coach that is living off legacy and not actual production.

25 May 2011
University of Queensland PhD student, Melissa Bruton, with help from Australia Zoo, is getting up close and personal with some slithery friends in the southern Brigalow Belt region of Queensland and New Sales Wales.
Geography, Planning and Environment student Melissa, was awarded a grant by the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland to support her research, discovering how reptiles are effected when their environment is subject to agricultural clearing.
Australia Zoo Wildlife Veterinarians have been on the ground with Melissa, implanting several pythons with radio-transmitters to reveal information about their movements. So far, eight Woma Pythons are being tracked, including large snakes of approximately 2m in length.
These snakes will be tracked for a twelve month period to see how often and how far Woma Pythons move and the different habitats they use.
Ms Kelsey Engle Australia Zoo Curator, hopes Melissa's vital research will play an important role in preventing the eastern form of the Woma Python, found in the Brigalow Belt, following the same devastating footsteps of its western relative, now critically endangered.
"The biology of this Woma group is a critical key in the future of its survival and we, alongside students just like Melissa from the University of Queensland are working hard to save this gorgeous creature." Kelsey said.
"For the past ten years we have been breeding this subspecies of Woma Python with the hope of releasing them onto secure, protected habitat in the future. We hope that our continued efforts, along with Melissa's research go a long way to re-establishing populations of this highly endangered and gentle slithery friend".
You too can assist in Australia Zoo's fight for wildlife conservation by donating to Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors.

text: Hello everyone ! I'm currently dealing with constipation and I'm looking for something other than Miralax (what my GI Doctor wanted me to use) to try. I've been fighting constipation for the past week and a half. Are prunes a safe option to go with ? Like baby food prunes, prune juice and jarred prunes. Does anyone have any experience with this ? How much should you eat/drink ? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance !

The Best Movies to Curl Up And Watch When You're Sick
List Rules Any film you'd enjoy watching if you are home sick from school or work.
You're sick. We're sorry. Instead of heading off to work or school, you're stuck in bed with a bad case of the sniffles and congestion. But there is a bright side. You have the excuse you need to watch any film you want. Here are the best movies to watch when sick.
One of the obvious criteria of movies for sick days is that they shouldn't be too complicated. Sure, Memento may be one of the best films of the past 25 years, but it's complex and you really need to pay attention. Movies for sick days should be easy to follow, and if you happen to fall asleep for a few minutes, no big deal; sick films are easy to pick back up. Also, a sick person probably doesn't want to watch anything too loud or gory.
There are certainly a lot of comedies on this list. The best movies to watch if you don't feel well should pick up your spirit, after all. A good laugh is perhaps the best medicine available.
There are also a few uplifting flicks on this sick movies list. If you're feeling down, perhaps a classic underdog story will do the trick. Look no further than Forrest Gump, Rudy, or The Goonies. All three remind a viewer that despite great odds, hard work and perseverance will pay off in the end.Make your voice heard. Vote up your favorite films to watch when sick. Or, if the movie you always reach for when home feeling under weather isn't listed, be sure to add it. In this way, you might just bring joy to another sick person's sick day watchlist.

Are You a Macro or a Micro?
Macro-focused people are good at looking at the big picture, organizing tasks, planning, and keeping track of a lot of larger-picture details. Micro-focused people are good at managing a large number of details for one or two tasks. For example, a details person around a household might make sure all of the towels are folded and stacked a certain way. A macro focused person might be more interested in the price of ten thousand towels at the best price from a supplier.
Software can help people work at a micro level and a macro level. For example, I used Outlook and Word to negotiate and organize the macro aspects of a project. Then, I use something as basic as a word processor to decompose a macro set of tasks into micro tasks. Something like MS-Project can be used in the same way.
If someone only wants to focus on tasks then that person might be overwhelmed as a project manager but be a very good coder. If someone doesn't like the little details then that person may make a terrible tester. Identifying personality types is useful on projects. Promoting someone to manager because they are a good coder may be a terrible idea. Firing a manager that gets bogged down in details may be the wrong way to go too. Maybe that person is a better tester or programmer and should go back to doing that.
Here is one difficulty. Compensation levels often more highly compensate managers, so great technologists that want to make more money have to move into management even though they may be unsuited for such work.
Another difficulty is task switching. Some project roles like software architect demand times of activity around macro aspects and periods of focus on detailed technical problems. In this instance a person capable of switching between details and the big picture is needed, but such a person still needs time for both kinds of activities. Often big picture details require a lot of interaction with others, and technical challenges require a lot of intense alone-time.
The riskiest fallacy is that people are good at task switching. People in general are not great at multiple, parallel tasks. People are better at focusing on single tasks at a time and longer periods between switching tasks. Macros may be good at a higher frequency of task switching because they aren't lost in the bewildering array of details. Micro-focused people need intense periods of uninterrupted time. A good solution is know the roles people are playing and leave the micro people out of details, like frequent meetings and discussions, task switching. Assign such people high level tasks, ask them to break the task into smaller details and then leave them alone. Let your macro detail people attend meetings and then selectively figure out when to convey the new information to the detail people.
The way this can play out badly is as follows: detailed people like programmers in customer meetings cause these meetings to devolve into technical discussions about how when such meetings need to stay focused on what. Big picture people tend to talk about a lot of different tasks. These people interacting with micro detailed people too much cause detailed people to end up switching focus too much. What does this look like in practice? In practice keep the number of connection points between big picture people like customers and managers and detail people like testers and developers to a minimum. The big picture people request macro -level goals and the detail people return how that solution will be composed (or broken down into manageable bits). Users seldom need to know the manageable technical bits and individual technical people need a general idea of the big picture but not immersion.Keep interactions between big picture people like managers and customers and detail people like developers and testers to a minimum. Detailed people need periods of high intensity alone time, and big picture people need interaction without the interrupt of digressing into details.

A dirty, gritty story about magick, monsters and the occult. It takes place in a modern-day world where H.P. Lovecraft the writer never existed but where all the horrors he wrote about are real. In this story, the man named Lovecraft is the world's foremost magician and alchemist who maintains a secret library of forbidden knowledge which includes books like the Necronomicon.
Lovecraft is a classic Byronic antihero: "Mad, bad, and dangerous to know." He functions as the semi-reluctant guardian of mankind, one of the few who can traffic with occult forces without becoming (totally) corrupted by them. In his world, magicians are a secret culture within the culture who vie for power and knowledge, leading to feuds and wars that can unleash unspeakable terrors. When they do, Lovecraft is the guy who cleans things up.I think Cthulhu would give this two blasphemous, flabby claws up!

"The primary focus of our work is what we call the transportation of place-situations in which one limited or isolated place strongly resembles another distant one. Everywhere, not only in the new world, such situations are accumulating and accepted as genuine locales. Traditional notions of place, in which culture and geographic location neatly coincide, are being challenged by legacies of slavery, colonialism, holocaust, immigration, tourism, and mass communication. Whether the subject is Germany in Africa, Germans dressing as Native Americans, American towns dressed as Germany, New York in Las Vegas, New York in Cuba, or Cuba in exile, our interest tends to be a place out of place with its various causes and consequences." —Andrea Robbins and Max Becher
Young Man with Shield appears in The Transportation of Place (Aperture, 2006), in which the Bechers describe the German Indians series. "It is a somewhat clichéd truth that no country has more of a fascination with Native Americans than Germany. Besides a deep-rooted romantic view of a preindustrial past, and the imagery of cowboy-Western movies, the primary cause of this fascination is the work of the nineteenth-century writer Karl May. Although he didn't visit North America until late in life, he wrote many novels about the Wild West, portraying Native Americans as heroes and whites as villains. Karl May's birthday is celebrated annually in his hometown of Radebeul, near Dresden, by hundreds of Germans dressed as Native Americans. Loosely formed groups, called tribes, gather from all over the country. By participating in re-creations, open air festivals, and hobby clubs, postwar Germans, discouraged from nationalism and group ritual, sense a permission to find themselves in other ethnic groups. And, perhaps, criticism of atrocities against Native Americans also gives Germans some sense of relief from their own shame of the Holocaust."
U.S.-born Andrea Robbins and German Max Becher both received BFAs from Cooper Union, New York. They have had solo exhibitions at Photographische Sammlung, Cologne, Germany; Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; American Fine Arts, New York; Robert B. Menschel Photography Gallery, Syracuse, New York; and elsewhere. They have been in numerous group exhibitions in venues including the Guggenheim Bilbao, Bilbao, Spain, and in New York at the Whitney Museum of American Art, International Center of Photography, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New Museum, Dia Art Foundation, Jewish Museum, and Museum of Modern Art. They are represented in New York by Sonnabend Gallery, and their work is in major collections such as the International Center of Photography, Whitney Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim, the Jewish Museum, all New York, and the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris.

It's been a while since we updated Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker, dedicating our efforts to physical acquisition of iOS devices instead. Well, now when the new iOS Forensic Toolkit is out, it is time to update our classic phone recovery tool.
The new version of Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker is released! While you can read an official press-release to get an idea of what's new and updated, you may as well keep reading this blog post to learn not only what is updated, but also why we did it.
Dedicated to iCloud Forensics
This new release is more or less completely dedicated to enhancing support for remote recovery of iOS devices via iCloud. Why do it this way?
Because iCloud analysis remains one of the most convenient ways to acquire iOS devices. You can read more about iCloud analysis in a previous post here. Let's see what else is available.


text: Had to send my X2 in for repair because it was completely messed up. Motorola switched out the main circuit boards, and also flashed it with the newest 2.3.5/1.3.418 software (NOT the dev .412, which is rootable), and now none of the root exploits work; obviously there was no way to use Voodoo since they used an SBF. I tried motofail, zergRush, and other exploits but none have achieved root. Android version: 2.3.5 Baseband version: N_03.13.31P Kernel version: 22.214.171.124-00008-gc406305 So, now comes the waiting game. I know Motorola will implement this into other phones. I'm sure the ICS upgrade for the RAZR will kill root somehow too.
