Australian Airports To Get Compulsory Body Scans
In a $28 million security upgrade, new “no scan, no fly” laws are expected to be proposed this week for Aussie international airports — removing the option to request a pat down instead. After trials last year, full body scanners (from the same company used in US checkpoints) will roll out in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Gold Coast and Cairns.

This Is The Best Way To Tie Your Shoelaces
The clip is a short presentation by Terry Moore at 2005′s TED (Technology Entertainment and Design) conference. Moore runs New York’s Radius Foundation, which I could try to explain, but is better described by the company itself: “[seeking] new ways of exploring and understanding dissimilar conceptual systems or paradigms”. One of those systems appears to be shoelace-tying, which you’ve likely been doing wrong your whole life, according to Moore.

Increase Your Dropbox Space By 4.5 Gigabyte
We have talked about Dropbox’s new camera import feature previously which allows you to import photos from digital cameras that you connect directly to your PC to your Dropbox storage. This can be useful if you use Dropbox to store your photos anyway. Free users may run into space issues pretty soon though, as individual photos these days take up Megabytes of free space.

A Secret To More Happiness And Energy? Give Yourself A Bedtime
Children have a fixed bedtime; we know they need their allotment of sleep, and we pack them off to bed when it's time. But many adults just go to bed whenever they feel like it.
The problem with this approach is that it's far too easy to stay up too late. The TV, the internet, your email, your book...these distractions keep you alert past the point at which you should head to bed. Many of us know we ought to go to sleep sooner, but we just can't manage to pull it off.

‘You Can’t Cure Obesity With Bigger Pants’
Sometimes we shove problems aside because we don’t have time to deal with them. We’ve all been there. Or we come up with a change — like buying bigger pants — that makes a problem like sneaky weight gain less uncomfortable, but as Mr Money Mustache reminds us, this is really no cure.
