Resistor on O2 sensor??

I dont know why but this sounds like a bad idea, looking for chips I noticed, a lot of people trying to sell you a resistor for a few bucks and sticking it on your O2 sensor to bypass it, or your IAT, it supposedly bypasses the signal so that your engine thinks its getting cold air. and that it will give you better pickup and up to 20 HP to me this sounds like a bunch of crap and that it might even mess up the comp in my truck. Thoughts or Ideas????

P.S. its just a little brown resistor that you can get anywhere.

All they are doing is throwing off the inputs to the computer so it thinks it needs to richen the mixture. Not a long term solution in my opinion seeing how gas prices are lately.
