Surveillance video recently taken at the Espanola Police Station is a bit freaky.
GUYS... BUT SOME POLICE OFFICERS SAW SOMETHING THAT FREAKED THEM OUT ... AND THEY CAPTURED IT ON CAMERA. IT'S AN IMAGE THAT SOME PEOPLE SAY APPEARS TO BE A GHOST ... WALKING AROUND THE POLICE STATION. NANCY LAFLIN HAS THE VIDEO... AND TALKED TO THE MEN WHO SHOT IT. IT STARTED OUT AS A PRETTY TYPICAL SATURDAY NIGHT. ESPANOLA POLICE OFFICER KARL ROMERO WAS ON DUTY - KEEPING AN EYE ON THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS AROUND THE STATION... WHEN HE SAW SOMETHING IN THE SALLY PORT. "At first I thought it was a podilla..a fly or moth...then I saw the legs... and it was a human. But not a real human. No. A ghost." SO, ROMERO REPORTED IT... AND TOLD HIS SUPERVISORS. DETECTIVES SHOWED US THE CAMERA THAT CAPTURED THE IMAGE. THEY SAY THERE'S NO WAY IN OR OUT OF THE SECURED AREA -- WITHOUT AN OPEN GATE AND ALARM SOUNDING. "It walks through the old transport cages. There's not a way for it to get through..but it walks through that." DETECTIVES SAY THERE'S NO LOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR THIS. NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE LIGHTING. OR A TECHNICAL GLITCH. TURNS OUT... THERE ARE A LOT OF GHOST STORIES AROUND HERE. "A lot of officers have seen certain things. Some officers have felt someone breathing down their necks as they're working in the briefing room." COPS AT THE STATION ALSO REPORT HEARING STRANGE NOISES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT... AND SEEING UNEXPLAINABLE IMAGES IN THE LOBBY AREA TOO. "Espanola police say as far as they know.. this isn't on an ancient burial ground. The department has been here at this location since 2006. No inmates have died here." BUT THEY DO SAY ... THERE HAVE BEEN SOME UNSOLVED MURDERS NEARBY. "Do you believe in ghosts? I do. I do believe in ghosts. Think that was a ghost. I do. I do believe it was something. It was hard to say but I do believe in ghosts." THESE GUYS SAY THEY'RE NOT AFRAID OF IT... BUT IT'S DEFINITELY AN IMAGE THAT HAUNTS THE OFFICERS WHO WORK HERE. IN ESPANOLA...

He's a great storyteller, shoots beautiful footage, and is a phenomenal problem solver. When necessary he's figured out how to shoot with limited crew, in small spaces, around weather delays, cancelled flights, less than perfect accommodations, and a myriad of unexpected circumstances. He does it all with a great deal of flexibility and good humor.

Friendsheet, as an app, isn't as accepted as Pinterest, but it is a similar experience.
Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg decided to give a thumb's up to Friendsheet, a Facebook app that essentially mimics the layout of social bookmarking darling Pinterest.
Friendsheet takes photos from one's Facebook news feed and puts them in the Pinterest-esque layout of small panels, like images stuck to a pinboard, according to Mashable.
Zuckerberg pushed the "Like" button on the app Tuesday and its likely that the app that debuted in January will have renewed interest -- because Zuckerberg has around 12 million followers on his Facebook Timeline.

Procrastination. Say it with me now, P r o c r a s t i n a t i o n. We've all done it, been there in that situation where you know you've put something off for far too long. Maybe its mowing the grass. Maybe its your TPS reports. Maybe its that oil change 4,000 miles overdue. In our case, its our web site and mail server migration. Guess what turns out to be a great cure for procrastination?….. When your hosting provider takes a nose dive straight off the Internet and into the deep end of the pool (too bad there was no water).
Lets start with email. Sometimes we're slow with email (I already gave the procrastination speech, so I will spare you this time). However, if you tried to send us email lately (since the weekend), its not our fault. We can't get to our email at the moment. This has given me the chance to get a lot of other work done on our web and mail server migration. Sometimes you have to look at the glass as half full. My alternate email address is kungfuhacker -at- gmail.com. Email me there if you have any pressing issues or questions for the time being. Today or tomorrow, I make the big cutover and we move to Google hosted email. Say what you will about privacy and security, its a great service and I've got many more interesting things I would rather be doing than maintaining Postfix and SpamAssasin. We also picked up another VPS and will be hosting our web sites and DNS. You could say we are masters of our own domain now…
In the way of good news, I've got the wiki moved over to the new web site and its been upgraded to the latest version of MediWiki. The ever so kind wiki ninjas (byte_bucket and mmiller) have helped me with some of the formatting issues that cropped up. A thousand thanks guys.
The new web site is half installed, and our web guru is going to very quickly fix the stylesheets so you can all enjoy a much better web site design and color scheme. I am working on some of the content, which is horribly out of date. Simple things are a big win, like actually having a page that tells visitors where our IRC channel is and how to get there, and posting all of our articles, presentations, and papers in one easy to find place.
So, if we drop offline for a bit, don't worry, I'm working on "unclogging the tubes" and bringing PaulDotCom to a happy, stable, state so I can focus on all those wonderful security projects I keep meaning to get around to, when I get to them, not that I am procrastinating or anything….

"Not dead yet" could well be the new BlackBerry marketing theme, as the world prepares to hear about two new BlackBerry 10 smartphones to be announced next Wednesday.
Days before the announcement, there is fairly wide disagreement among analysts and developers over whether Research In Motion can stop the dramatic decline of its BlackBerry phones. The BlackBerry was the market leader until the iPhone was introduced in 2007 and Android phones after that. Its market share fell to 10 percent in 2010 and has dwindled to 5 percent today.
[ Also on InfoWorld: 5 new smartphone OSes bet on HTML5 and improved UIs. | Stay ahead of advances in mobile technology with InfoWorld's Mobile Edge blog and Mobilize newsletter. ]
In advance of the event, specifications and photos have been widely leaked of the new touchscreen and qwerty-keyboard versions of BlackBerry smartphones, but RIM hasn't confirmed many of the details.
According to unconfirmed reports, the touchscreen version, dubbed the Z10, will have a 4.2-inch display, 1,280x768 resolution and 16GB of internal storage. It will also include a Snapdragon processor, an 8-megapixel rear camera and Near-Field Communications technology (useful for mobile payments). Moreover, the models available from Verizon Wireless will be able to run on 4G LTE cellular networks.
Less is known about the smaller qwerty version, known as the X10. With this model, RIM is acknowledging its loyal following of users, among 80 million overall globally, who prefer a physical keyboard.
RIM officials confirmed that thousands of prerelease BlackBerry 10 devices have been tested by corporations, which have been the mainstay of the company's customer base, even as BlackBerry's global market share has dwindled to 5 percent, according to Gartner. Meanwhile Android has captured 65 percent of the global smartphone market and the iPhone has about 21 percent.
Analysts who have tried the devices offered some promising predictions. "The new BB10 offers the best [user experience] on the market -- not perfect, but certainly a rival to the iPhone 5, with even greater performance," said Gartner analyst Phillip Redman in a blog post this week entitled "RIM begins its comeback year with BES 10 launch."
In an interview, Redman said that BB10 devices won't surpass Apple or Android devices, but, he added, "I think they will beat Windows Phone." Moreover, he predicted that RIM will "market this like nothing before, [with] much of the future of the company depending on the launch."
In contrast, Citigroup financial analyst Jim Suva reminded clients in a note that the pre-announcement optimism for BlackBerry 10 devices is not necessarily an indicator of how well the phones will sell. "We remind investors that actual sell-through matters to determine the true financial impact that the new OS and hardware will have on the company's financials, especially in an increasingly competitive environment," Suva said.
Michael Mullany, CEO of Sencha, a company that is an HTML5 development partner of RIM on the BlackBerry 10 platform, remains optimistic. "We think BB 10 has a good shot at re-igniting RIM sales," he said.
In an interview, Mullany said the prerelease Z10 touchscreen model that developers have been testing offers "incredible performance for the browser inside -- it will be a market leader for HTML5."

For many, allergies are a fact of life. …(sneeze?)
I'm allergic to grass, trees, pollen, mold…
Nearly thirty six million Americans suffer from allergies and regardless of the season, anything from the family fur ball to your front lawn can lead to itchy eyes and runny noses.
Some people even complain of itchy ears. They'll start doing this…kinda what we call the allergic salute and often times that you can do it so much that you can get a crease on their nose.
Nat up sneezing
It is genetic. It runs in families—so if your mother and father is allergic, ahh, then you have a better chance of being allergic.
You can't choose your parents but you can choose your remedies. Over-the- counter medications may help those with mild symptoms. Most will contain an antihistamine or decongestant to help clear things up, or a combination of the two.
People with more persistent symptoms may require any of a host of prescription medicines. But don't forget the first line of defense….
The more you can avoid the better off you are: windows closed—keep the pollen outside. Wash the dog; don't let the dog bring the stuff inside.
If that's not enough, being evaluated by a qualified allergist is a good next step.
These little circles. Little dark circles can sometimes mean either recurrent sinus infections or we call 'em allergic shiners
One of the most reliable methods of determining allergic triggers is the skin test.
Ok, hold it tight. Skin is checked for its reaction to things like pollen, mold, pet dander, foods, insect venom and penicillin. For most people the tiny pinpricks cause only temporary and mild discomfort.
The other mainstay in the clinical arsenal is the allergy shot. You might be a candidate if you have symptoms more than three months out of the year.
Doses of allergens are increased over several months until an appropriate regimen is achieved…then every few weeks for as long as five years. But for many who water, itch and sneeze, it's worth it.
Yes the shots help a lot because at one time I couldn't even sit out in the, you know, in the grass or the park or anything so it helps a lot.
And this treatment can actually strengthen a person's defenses over time.
If you take shots for three to five years there's a good chance that you'll never need to take them again and your disease will be controlled for a lifetime.
Leaving more time for you to do the things you enjoy most.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Mine safety officials say a worker has died of a head injury at CONSOL Energy's McElroy mine in Marshall County.
The West Virginia Office of Miners' Health, Safety and Training says the accident happened just before 1 p.m. Friday.
How the victim was injured was not immediately clear. The miner died on the way to the hospital.
Spokeswoman Leslie Fitzwater says an investigation is underway. She couldn't immediately offer more details.
Pennsylvania-based CONSOL didn't immediately comment.

Dominique Wilson took the inbounds pass in the backcourt with nine-tenths of a second remaining in the first half of McEachern's second-round girls basketball playoff game against Westlake on Tuesday.
She took one step and let the shot fly from about 50 feet away, hitting nothing but net as the buzzer sounded to give the Indians a 61-29 lead. It was that kind of night for top-ranked McEachern, which played an almost flawless first half in a 93-50 victory.
Wilson finished with 24 points, Te'a Cooper had 28 and Pachiyaanna Roberts scored 21 as McEachern advanced to Saturday's 4 p.m. Class AAAAA quarterfinal at Fort Valley State. The Indians, ranked No. 2 nationally by ESPN, will play the winner of tonight's Valdosta-Harrison game. Tenth-ranked Westlake's season ends at 23-7.
"She was hot the entire first half," McEachern coach Phyllis Arthur said of Wilson, who has signed with Arkansas. "But we reminded them at halftime that we had another half to play and you can't lose your momentum. The kids just kept it going."
McEachern did have to work through some foul trouble in the first half. Cooper, a freshman who has made a verbal commitment to North Carolina, picked up her second foul less than two minutes into the game and sat out the rest of the quarter. She returned at the start of the second and scored 22 points, mostly on fast-break layups, in the next quarter and a half. By the time she went back to the bench with 4:21 remaining in the third quarter, the lead was up to 72-32.
Westlake managed to keep it close for half the first quarter, trailing just 14-11 before Wilson ignited a McEachern scoring burst that put the game away. She scored seven of the Indians' points in a 15-2 run that made it 29-13 at the end of the first quarter, and the Indians scored 11 unanswered points to start the second.
"We have faith in ourselves," Arthur said. "We talked about having positive energy all week long. We came in here and worked hard."
Westlake's Aisha Turner-Johnson finally broke the drought with a layup with 5:21 to play in the half. She finished with 26 points, including 16 of her team's 21 second-half points, and made six 3-pointers.
"We've played some good basketball, and we've just got to remember that anything can happen at any given time," Arthur said. "They've got to keep coming with their A game."

If you have not seen this team play basketball you need to get to West Georgia this weekend. This squad is worth way more than ONE WATCH. Make sure you see them more than once so you can really see how good this basketball team is and how well coached they are (but you know that right).

For female state of Ga player of the year I have one name: Pachiyanna Roberts of McEachern. I have followed the teams from region 4, AAAAA, as well as many others around the state. She has been more consistent that any player I've seen this year. Durable, consistent. Offensively and defensively, playing the 5 (undersized) and the 4, with probably less talent around her than DeShields. She is the truth.

@HJ – I agree 100%!! I've been to every game this year and this team is by far a well oiled machine that continues to roll. Coach Arthur is all about defense which will turn into plenty of offense. This is a special group of ladies and if you have not seen them play you are missing out. Diamond DeShields is an awesome player as well but Patches is my 2012 Female State of Georgia Player of the Year!! Go Lady Indians!!

I agree, Patches is a certified Beast. She is a match up problem and can play 2,3,4,or 5. She can shoot, dribble and defend. She may not have all the hoopla as some of the other girls but she is the heart and soul of that team. Can't wait to see her in college.

Greg Jennings pokes some fun at Brandon MarshallPosted by on December 13, 2012 – 3:41 pm
Packers WR Greg Jennings was having a little fun with the media at Bears WR Brandon Marshall's expense on Thursday.
A day earlier, Marshall challenged Green Bay's defensive backs to cover him one-on-one, and he took exception to the characterization that any Packers DB shut him down during his two-catch performance in Week 2 because whoever was guarding him had plenty of help in other areas of the field.
Recognizing how absurd it would be to devise a game plan that would involve covering Marshall man-to-man when Marshall has 101 receptions for 1,342 yards and the next-closest Bears in each category have 36 catches and 256 yards, Jennings "challenged" the Bears defense to do the same against Green Bay's receivers.
"Man, I wish the Bears would play us one-on-one and man-to-man," said Jennings, howling with laughter as he said it. "Yeah, man, the Bears always play Cover 2. I think they're scared not to play Cover 2."
Once the laughter around his locker had subsided, Jennings acknowledged that Marshall was obviously trying to fire up his team and possibly get into the heads of the Green Bay secondary.
"What receiver doesn't want to get played man-to-man coverage the entire game?" Jennings said. "Your pride (as a defensive back) wants to say 'I can guard you man-to-man,' but why do it? Why do it when you don't have to? That's why we're a team. We help one another."

Keep Jennings! Well said man! I want Packers fans and especially OWNERS to start speaking up about keeping Jennings. The front office NEEDS to know how loved his is and how much the fan base wants him to stay. KEEP JENNINGS!! As fans we have a voice, we just have to USE IT! Go Pack!

I'm not entirely sure who is going to win though as a Packer fan I would prefer the Packers. It will be a good game as a lot is riding on it and these two teams always play each other tough.
Having said that…I really think the Packers are playing tough and coming together making them tough to beat. Personally, I do not think the loss of Woodson makes one bit of difference unless it makes the defense better. The injury that is unfortunate is Jordys. The guy just comes through game after game.

Packers will defeat the bears, but we'll just let the team decide and it all depends on their attitude and how they play. Which will be a huge success for the team on Sunday. Just leave it all to the players!

@opie… community Owners have no say in team business, so your little rant will not help. Regardless, I would like to see Jennings back as well. Marshall on the other hand… is a complete tool and needs to get lit up Sunday afternoon. I mean, I want that guy seeing stars.
By corncob on Dec 14, 2012 | Reply
Marshall is just trying to invite controversy and get inside players heads. The Pack just needs to go in there and take care of business the way they know how. If they can establish a running game, the cover 2 will not be in place and there should be plenty on one on one opportunities to prove who can cover who!!! This game is very important and the Bears will do whatever they can to gain just any advantage…
By Dan0 on Dec 14, 2012 | Reply
Ok Packer fans, lets get real about how much you pay a wide receiver. Jennings would have to take a huge hometown discount to stay. We will have to pay Clay, BJ and most importantly Rodgers in the next couple of years. We cannot afford to pay Jennings 10Mil a year. Just like DD will have to retire next year. No way you pay him a 1-2 mil to sit on the bench as the number 5 receiver which is where he is at.

Man, you should live down here outside Chicago. The blame game is overwhelming. Reading Jennings comments made me smile and laugh. No doubt who will win Sunday. Go Pack!

Two things to take into consideration in this game, first and foremost Urlacher is not playing. He is a physical and mental force on the Bears, and they miss him greatly when he's not playing. Secondly Cutler is one of the easiest quarterbacks to rattle into making mistakes if given enough pressure, and the Packers seem to be able to do that well, against the Bears at least… and with Matthews back that task may even be easier now.

Madison (WQOW) -- Baldwin-Woodville product Jake Keefer was expected to play big minutes this season in Wisconsin's new-look 3-4 defense. But an injury in last week's scrimmage will end his season before it could get started.
Keefer tells News 18's Stephen Kelley he will miss the next 4-6 months with a lateral meniscus tear. Keefer underwent successful surgery this past week. Keefer was set to be a redshirt sophomore this season, making the move from linebacker to defensive line. He gained nearly 40 pounds to prepare him for the season.
In a text message, Keefer wrote: "I have high spirits, and am on the road to recovery. I will do whatever I can to come back in better shape." He adds that he will work in rehab to get back in time for Wisconsin's potential bowl game.

Each of Grieps drawings is composed of several sections and is impressive in both size and detail; many works were inspired by Grieps own experiences at the cathedral at Chartres, Angkor Wat and the temple of Thatbinynyu in Myanmar, both of which are 11th century constructions.
In visiting both Thailand and Myanmar, Griep was struck not only by the immense size of the buildings, but also by their sacred nature and beautiful detail. To experience such buildings, she said, [one] must walk past them and through them and meditate on them as one goes. It was this same act of meditation that Griep wanted to convey with her large, detailed pictures.
It is impossible to take in one of Grieps pieces all at once. Viewers are encouraged to walk past them, study each detail, and to step back again to see the entire piece with newfound perspective. Exhibit-goers will likely be awed by the variety of media used in Grieps drawings from pencil, to ink, to watercolor, to collage each of which demonstrates the resourceful application of the few art supplies Thailand had to offer Griep during her visit.
Certainly, viewers will see the result of months and months of constant eight-hour workdays that Griep endured while traveling through the countries portrayed in her artwork. Art lovers will especially appreciate the concept of what Griep herself experienced a personal encounter with what she characterized as undoubtedly sacred spaces.
The other half of the exhibit can be best described as a documentation of one of Dells collaborative works of art. Dell, who has spent the past six or seven years creating publicly-commissioned art, recently went in a different direction and teamed up with his wife, playwright Kira Obolensky, and others to create a puppet-theater production entitled Quicksilver.
Dell designed the featured sets, props and puppets for Quicksilver. The play itself, which is displayed in video form as part of Dell and Grieps exhibit, is a unique work in which actors become puppeteers, and interact with objects and characters which one might characterize as sculptures brought to life.
This form of theater has been an exciting venture for Dell. [Puppet theater] allows things that are impossible in live theater, Dell said.
Quicksilver ran for a few weeks in Minneapolis in 2003, and Dell said he and his colleagues are seeking new venues in which to show the production in the future.
For now, Dells Flaten exhibit offers the closest approximation to seeing the performance live. Viewers can watch the production video and see the puppets in action, as well as examine the artistic merit of the puppets themselves. Dells video, puppets and sketches from the development of Quicksilver all contribute to a truly fascinating, humorous and striking work of art.

Authorities have arrested brothers who they believe shot and killed a bouncer at a Phoenix bar last month.
Phoenix police said Alex Ray Flores, 21, was arrested on Wednesday on charges of first-degree murder, burglary, endangerment and misconduct involving weapons.
His brother, Max Flores, 22, was also arrested.
Detectives said the Flores brothers were drinking at Mi Ranchito Dancing Bar near 32nd and Oak streets, and when the bar closed they attempted to leave the bar with beer, police said.
Phoenix police Sgt. Tommy Thompson said Jesus Rafael Lozano-Vidal, 33, was not working the night of the attack, however he was helping coworkers clear out the bar at closing time early Friday morning when he noticed the two men were leaving with beer. He told him he couldn't take the bottle, there was an argument and Lozano-Vidal was shot at the front door, police said.
Lozano-Vidal was taken to a hospital where he died, according to police.
Police said Max Flores was shot in the arm by his brother during the fight.

WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. (WSAU) - A bill introduced in the State Senate that would block local governments from regulating sand mines has both local leaders and other state legislators concerned.
The bill was authored by Republican Senator Tom Tiffany of Hazelhurst. His proposal would not let local governments use what he calls "police powers" to regulate mines, regulate blasting, and it would stop them from collecting advance fees for damage to county and town roads.
Wood County Board Chairman Lance Pliml says that would be a big issue for them, since they see no other way to pay for the highway damages without those fees. "When we ran the Wisconsin Counties Association Frac Sand Task Force, one of the things we looked at was maintaining local control, and part of that is because the topographic nature of certain areas, the geological structure lends to different rules for different places, including those road agreements."
Pliml says he understands the Senator's goal of providing certainty and uniformity to rules so they can attract business, but not every area of the state has the same issues. He says losing local control usually means losing the revenue stream needed to maintain infrastructure. "It's really tough having somebody in Madison make decisions for people up in, let's say, St. Croix County, or somewhere up in the northwest corner of the state, and my biggest fear is that anytime the state gets involved, revenues tend to flow to Madison and they never go back to where those impacts actually occur."
Pliml is meeting with Tiffany and other legislators Wednesday.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos supports Tiffany's concept of letting the Department of Natural Resources set mining rules, but has said it will not make it onto the fall legislative calendar since they have other priorities before the recess.
(Lance Pliml's interview is attached to our website in the Newsmaker's Interview section, here.)

Here is a list of actors who have found a new platform to showcase their talents behind the camera
Whenever South Korea is mentioned these days, the first thing that comes to people's minds are Hallyu idols and their manufactured images. However, there is a rising group of artistes who desire to prove that they are more than just 'one-dimensional' celebrities.
Hollywood stars George Clooney and Ben Affleck, are just some of the many actors and actresses who are venturing into a different role, and in South Korea, some actors have jumped at the opportunity to develop their skills on the other side of the camera.
While it may not be a new phenomenon, it's not a common sight to see Korean actors trying their hands at directing in the past, much less with significant success. Nevertheless, some of the new actors-turned-directors are determined to pave a way for themselves by signing up for filmmaking classes in colleges and graduate schools.
Although most of them started out working on short films, many have their sights set on directing full-length feature films. An advantage that these rookie directors have is their experience as actors that could be presented in the films they produce.
In our gallery, we pick out a handful of Korean actors who've had a successful venture into the world of directing. Read on for more!

These days there's little money can't buy at the plastic surgeon's office. You can change your body in big ways and small -- sometimes very very small.
"People like dimples -- it's a unique group -- and there's a tremendous interest in it, and we're all surprised by the people who want to have dimples," said Dr. Amiya Prasad, a cosmetic surgeon. His phone has been ringing off the hook with people seeking his expertise in dimpleplasty, the creation of dimples.
"They think of celebrities like Jennifer Garner or Mario Lopez and they like those dimples," Dr. Prasad said. "And so people come in from all over country and sometimes outside of country to have dimples done."
Dimpleplasty is nothing new. It's been around for at least the last three decades. The procedure is popular with both men and women. But Dr. Prasad said they tend to be of a younger age; in their mid-20s and 30s.
"A lot of times people with more rounder faces will get this done so people think they lost weight because they have a little more angularity to their face," Dr. Prasad said.
That's exactly the motivation behind Lisa Williams' surgery. She has spent the last year considering it before deciding she was ready to take the plunge.
"I just want something to perk me up a little bit, make me a little bit cuter, have a little more of a rememberable smile," she said recently.
First, Dr. Prasad found where her natural dimples would sit. He measured from the corner of the eye down.
"There's kind of a sweet spot where the skin will naturally give us permission to fold in a little bit and look natural," Dr. Prasad said.
Once he marked both sides of the face, Lisa got an idea of what her new smile would look like. Then it was off to the O.R. Dr. Prasad worked from inside of mouth, manipulating the particular muscle and attaching a stich to the skin from inside to prevent a scar.
The procedure hardly has any swelling or soreness. In about a half-hour's time, you have the dimples you didn't have before.

There's no inside source or anything in this article. It is entirely hearsay and is by no means newsworthy. I clicked the link to read Messany's article on the notion that there could be reason for a serious discussion about it, but as usual I was sadly disappointed.But even the author of the report, Eric Savitz, on Tuesday sought to clear up misconceptions about any potential combination of Apple and Sony.
He wrote in a blog post on Barron's website, "In the piece I noted that the company could do something aggressive, like bidding for Adobe, Sony or even Disney. But that was pure speculation. Yeesh."
More great news for a 360 owner...
I have actually dreamed about this because if apple and sony products were to combine with each other they would be the ******* awesomest products ever. I still cant play music from my iPhone on my ps3 i can only charge it!!
all rumors come from somewhere so who knows this could have a hint of truth in it, and everyone is trying to downplay it
^^ WTF really...
But just in case those of you are wondering what this says... Here I'll translate for you..
What Steve can speak Japanese? This is more than business. This is where I would be a huge cultural change, can be translated or Google wants to keep the other we are all doomed
Can anyone post some financial numbers from Apple and Sony please?
At least it would mean people would finally get Blu-Ray drives in their macbooks etc. I can't see what Apple would want to do with a PS3 market though, hmmm.
You just did the same thing I did.
You are the type that make Apple fans look bad, just like the guy that wrote the "article".
In "real" business MS turnover is still much higher than Apples.
not in a million years.
Really, it's like Apple buying GM. They're way too incompatible

The Ny Times, citing a Reuters new report, states that Manchester United's parent companies debt, reached over 716.5 million pounds (or 1.15 billion dollars).
The debt is mainly linked to high interest payments associated with the loans needed by the Glazers to originally acquire the soccer team in a hostile stock takeover.
There have also been reports recently that Man U would launch a 500 million pound high yield bond to help refinance the debt taken on by the Glazer's in 2005.

In guilty verdict, MacNeill family finally finds justice
By Jessica Miller
The Salt Lake TribuneFirst published Nov 09 2013 02:55PM
Provo • After six years of pursuing justice for Michele MacNeill, her family members say they now can rest.
In the early hours Saturday, Martin MacNeill, 57, was found guilty of killing his wife of nearly 30 years. And now Michele MacNeill's family, who relentlessly pushed investigators to look into the woman's death, can sleep easier. They feel like justice has been served.
"We don't have to worry about Martin," niece Jill Harper-Smith said after the verdict was read. "We were all scared of him. He was a danger."
He faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced on Jan. 7 — a far cry from the situation initially, when Michele MacNeill's Aug. 11, 2007, death was not investigated as a homicide. An autopsy conducted in the days after she was found unconscious in a bathtub in her Pleasant Grove home ruled that the 50-year-old woman died of natural causes, the result of heart inflammation and high blood pressure.
But those closest to her — her daughters, her sisters and her niece — knew there was more to her death. They knew, they said, that Michele MacNeill's doctor husband was involved.
In the week after Michele MacNeill died, her sister, Linda Cluff, went to Pleasant Grove police because she suspected foul play. But those officers were dismissive of her claims, especially after receiving the autopsy report that declared the woman's death natural.
But family members didn't give up. They continued seeking people who would listen to their allegation that Martin MacNeill killed his wife, sending letters, emails and information to the Utah County Attorney's Office, pleading with them to look into the case. In January 2008 an investigation was opened, but it took over four years to put the pieces together and, in August 2012, Martin MacNeill was charged with first-degree felony murder and second-degree felony obstruction of justice.
Fifteen months later, a five-man, three-woman jury would decide after 11 hours of deliberation that Martin MacNeill did in fact kill his wife.
"We went from nobody listening to look where we are today," Cluff said after the 1:10 a.m. verdict was read Saturday.
The verdict came after 13 days of testimony over four weeks, when prosecutors tried to build their case alleging Martin MacNeill gave his wife a fatal cocktail of prescription drugs, then drowned her in the bathtub. The motive, they argued, was to continue an affair with 37-year-old Gypsy Jyll Willis.
Guilty • When the guilty verdict was read Saturday morning, Michele MacNeill's supporters — including Cluff, Harper-Smith, and daughters Rachel MacNeill and Alexis Somers — gasped aloud as the verdict was announced, and immediately began sobbing and hugging. Martin MacNeill remained stoic, showing little to no emotion.
"We're just so happy he can't hurt anyone else," Somers said after the verdict was read. "There is justice for my mom today."
Martin MacNeill was found guilty of murder, a first-degree felony, and obstruction of justice, a second-degree felony. Fourth District Judge Derek Pullan scheduled sentencing for Jan. 7.
Martin MacNeill's defense attorney, Randy Spencer, declined to speak with the media after the verdict, other than saying, "Of course, I'm disappointed."
Deputy County Attorney Chad Grunander told reporters about 2:30 a.m. Saturday that Martin MacNeill's case was the most difficult he had ever prosecuted, due, in part, to the fact that it was not initially investigated as a homicide.
"We are absolutely thrilled," Grunander said of the verdict. "It was an amazing moment to meet with the family … I love it when the system works and it worked these last four weeks."
Grunander described the case as a "tough battle," but said there was a lesson to be learned.
"Don't give up," he said. "Prosecutors, do the right thing. Push for justice. Victims, push for justice. Just be courageous."
Grunander said during his closing arguments on Friday morning that the drugs given to Michele MacNeill after she underwent plastic surgery at her husband's demand worked as Martin MacNeill's cover to hide an "almost perfect murder."
"Along the way, he left a number of clues that all point to him as a murderer," Grunanader told the jury.
During the trial, the jury heard from a number of witnesses, including the defendant's lover, several of Martin MacNeill's daughters — who believe he killed their mother — and two inmates who claimed MacNeill confessed the murder to them.
Prosecutors weaved a narrative that focused on Martin MacNeill's bad or odd behavior — including the growing seriousness of his affair with Willis, his insistence that Michele MacNeill have a face-lift, asking that extra medications be prescribed for the woman and his reaction to his wife's death — all added up to murder.
"I think the mountain of motive in this case was just too much," Grunander said outside of court Saturday morning. " [Jury members] were very convinced."
Reasonable doubt • Spencer contended in his closing argument that the state presented no evidence "that rises to the level of beyond a reasonable doubt." He accused prosecutors of "cherry-picking" facts that supported their theory that Martin MacNeill killed his wife in order to welcome Willis into his life.
Spencer pointed to wording in the Utah medical examiner's report indicating that drug toxicity "could potentially" or "may have had an effect" on the woman's death.
That equals reasonable doubt, Spencer argued.
Spencer said there was no evidence that anyone but Michele MacNeill, herself, gave her any medications on the morning she died, April 11, 2007.
"Even if [Martin MacNeill] did, the medications were low," Spencer said, adding the drugs found in the woman's system were at therapeutic levels. "They were very, very low."
Michele MacNeill was found unconscious in her bathtub by her 6-year-old daughter, Ada. The child was sent by her father to a neighbor's house to get help, and eventually Michele MacNeill was pulled from the bathtub by a neighbor and Martin MacNeill. The two attempted CPR before medical crews arrived.
Those medical crews also attempted to perform CPR and other life-saving efforts before Michele MacNeill was taken to American Fork Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The state medical examiner's office has never ruled the woman's death a homicide, a fact that Spencer said showed reasonable doubt that Michele MacNeill was murdered.
After an autopsy in 2007, Michele MacNeill's manner of death was ruled "natural," the result of "chronic hypertension and myocarditis, which are capable of causing acute unexpected arrhythmia and sudden death."
Turning point • But investigators said Martin MacNeill called the medical examiner multiple times and gave misleading information. In 2010, in a new investigative report, Chief Medical Examiner Todd Grey changed the cause of death to the combined effects of heart disease and drug toxicity. The manner of death was changed to "undetermined."
Martin MacNeill's attorneys argued at trial that the man had an alibi at the time Michele MacNeill died because he was at work at the Utah State Developmental Center. However, prosecutors pointed out in their closing arguments that there was a window of time — between 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. on the day of the death — when Martin MacNeill's whereabouts were unknown.
Despite the defense's attempt to establish an alibi, Grunander said that Martin MacNeill had plenty of time to leave work and "take care of business" at home.
"Give Michele the drugs, fix her up a bath, get her in the tub, hold her head down a little while. Help her out," Grunander said during closing arguments, paraphrasing the testimony of an inmate who claims MacNeill confessed to the killing.
The defense called only four witnesses, including a former co-worker of Martin MacNeill and his child's kindergarten teacher, to back his alibi theory that he was at work at the time of Michele MacNeill's death and could not have killed her.
Defense attorneys also brought in an ergonomics expert, who told the jury it would have been difficult for MacNeill to have lifted his wife from the bathtub by himself.
Martin MacNeill did not take the witness stand in his own defense.
