I'm an avid reader of Shop-Eat-Surf because it's really the only online newsletter that I have found that is not only industry related, but also because it's not so "guy-centric." I find that a lot of the information I read on the site pertains to my business (as a swimwear designer) and keeps me up to date on what other companies and other women in the industry in general are doing which is not only inspiring but also helps me gauge the future direction of my business as well.
I feel privileged to read the Executive Edition because I know I am getting insider industry information before it hits the mainstream media channels. And it's always good to know what my friends are up to in the industry.- By Monica Wise, Founder, L*Space
"Shop-Eat-Surf is a great source for the most up to date information of what is going on in our industry. I always enjoy reading the articles and appreciate the effort from Tiffany and her team."- By Richard Woolcott, CEO and Founder, Volcom
SIA SNOW SHOW: New "Industry + Intelligence" seminar on January 28.
FSG LAWYERS: Represented Brixton in recent transaction with Altamont Capital.
Details on Industry Insight.
I found the data in Luxottica's second quarter earnings presentation that took place last week.
Here's some other interesting Oakley news:
- Oakley is "very hot across all regions," the company said.
- Oakley total sales increased 19.6 percent in the second quarter. Revenues grew double digits in the U.S. and internationally.
- Internationally, Oakley showed particular strength in Australia, Canada, Japan and Brazil.
- Same-store sales at Oakley retail stores rose 14.7 percent in the quarter.
- On the wholesale side, strong channels included military, law enforcement, lifestyle, department store and e-commerce.
- Oakley's integration into Luxottica's European infrastructure is complete.
- Oakley has geared up for China and the Olympics by sponsoring 500 athletes including half of the Chinese Olympic team. Oakley product has also been integrated into Luxottica's Lenscrafter stores in China ahead of the games.
- Overall, Luxottica said Oakley has delivered results and was not distracted by the hard work of integrating the two companies. The companies are also discovering talents in each organization to run new group-wide projects, Luxottica said.
Other Luxottica results/news
- Ray-Ban posted "excellent" results
- Total retail sales at Luxottica stores in the U.S. (excluding Oakley) declined 1.5 percent. Sunglass Hut same-store sales fell 3 percent.
- The company has reduced expenses in its retail division by trimming store labor, reducing SG & A head count, and adjusting its advertising spend.
- Luxottica has launched a new store called Ilori that carries luxury eyeglass brands. Ilori had 11 stores at the end of June and will have 20 by year's end. One hundred stores are planned for the U.S. in the next two years. Average annual sales per store are expected to reach $1 million. Luxottica brands comprise 60 percent of the merchandise mix.
- On the wholesale side, sunglass sales in Europe have improved since mid-June after a rainy spring.
- Luxottica second quarter sales in Japan were lower than the same quarter last year.
- The company is experiencing "solid growth" in emerging markets. Luxottica is looking for new retail projects there.
- Luxottica describes the fashion and premium market as resilient, while the luxury market weakened.
- The company expects to put lots of the one-time charges for integrating Oakley into the company behind it and says synergies will increase going forward. In the second quarter, earnings per share rose 8 percent in U.S. dollars and fell 6.8 percent in Euros.

UCL Year 12 Summer Challenge
Summer Challenge is a programme of subject specific evening courses designed to develop critical thinking, academic writing and independent research skills, and to encourage applications to UCL.
It is for Year 12 students attending state schools, who live in London or who are able to travel to London regularly, whose parents have not been to university, and who are academically high achieving.
Courses run for six sessions once a week at UCL during the summer. There are 10 to 20 students in each course (depending on the subject) and the sessions run from 1600 to 1800. All courses are taught by UCL academic staff or postgraduate students.
As part of the programme, every Summer Challenge student must complete an independent research project of 1,500 words and deliver a presentation.
UCL London Opportunities Scholarship
Students who complete Summer Challenge who then receive an offer from UCL in the following academic year are invited to apply for the UCL London Opportunities Scholarship, worth £4,000 per year of undergraduate study.
Summer Challenge 2015 courses
We are currently planning Summer Challenge 2015 and expect to offer at least 12 courses in a range of science, engineering, arts, humanities and social science subjects. We will open for applications in February 2015. The online application form, teacher reference and course brochure will all be available at this webpage.

|Bilingual Education
Bureau of Bilingual/ESL Education
» Bilingual Home «
New Jersey Department of Education Offices of Special Education and Title I English Language Learners (ELLs) and Special Education Question and Answer Document
- Can students be referred and/or evaluated for special education services while receiving bilingual/ESL services?
Yes, neither federal nor state regulations prohibit a student who is receiving ESL services from being evaluated. According to New Jersey Administrative Code (N.J.A.C.) 6A:14-3.4(f), "An initial evaluation shall consist of a multi-disciplinary assessment in all areas of suspected disability. Such evaluation shall include at least two assessments and shall be conducted by at least two members of the child study team in those areas in which they have appropriate training or are qualified through their professional licensure or educational certification and other specialists in the area of disability as required or as determined necessary.
For further information on referral and evaluation please refer to N.J.A.C. 6A:14.3.4(f).
- Can students receiving special education services receive bilingual/ESL services?
Yes, a student who is determined eligible for special education and related services or eligible for speech-language services can continue to receive bilingual/ESL services. Districts should consider embedding special education services in the existing bilingual/ESL classes in order to provide the services in the general education setting.
- Can bilingual/ESL students receive speech-language services?
Yes, according to N.J.A.C. 6A:14-3.6, "eligible for speech-language services" means a speech and/or language disorder as follows: A speech disorder in articulation, phonology, fluency, voice, or any combination, unrelated to dialect, cultural differences or the influence of a foreign language, which adversely affects a student's educational performance.
- What should a school district do if they can't find a bilingual child study team member to complete a child study team evaluation?
N.J.A.C. 6A:14-3.4(f)1 requires that evaluations be conducted in the language or form most likely to yield accurate information...unless it is not feasible to do so. Therefore, a school district should make extensive efforts to locate a bilingual child study team member. The school district may contract for services from another local school district or an approved clinic or agency. A list of bilingual child study team professionals is available on the following website: http://www.nj.gov/njded/bilingual/resources/cst/. Additional resources that should be considered by the school district include the recruitment of bilingual paraprofessionals and the use of bilingual community professionals and bilingual professionals in the district. In all instances, the school district must train personnel in the assessment process and the role of interpreters at meetings.
- If a bilingual/ESL student is referred for special education, how should the parent be notified?
Before a Meeting:
Parental involvement through the referral and evaluation process is important and districts should make every effort to ensure parental participation at meetings.
After a Meeting:
Written notice must be provided to the parents within 15 days following a meeting of the IEP team. According to N.J.A.C. 6A:14-2.4:
a) Written notice to the parent shall be provided and parent conferences required by this chapter shall be conducted in the language used for communication by the parent and student unless it is clearly not feasible to do so.
- Foreign language interpreters or translators and sign language interpreters for the deaf shall be provided, when necessary, by the district board of education at no cost to the parent.
b) If the native language is not a written language, the district board of education shall take steps to ensure that:
- The notice is translated orally or by other means to the parent in his or her native language or other mode of communication;
- That the parent understands the content of the notice; and
- There is written documentation that the requirements of (b)1 and 2 above have been met.
- How should special education eligibility be determined for limited English proficient students?
First, determine the dominant language of the child. While the NJDOE does not mandate or endorse any particular assessment, examples include the Brigance Screening, Language Assessment Scale, IDEA Proficiency Test, Bilingual Verbal Abilities Test, or Woodcock-Munoz Test. For additional resources you may consult the Center for Applied Linguistics Foreign Language Assessment Directory at www.cal.org/calwebdb/flad.
Once the dominant language is determined, evaluations should be conducted in accordance with N.J.A.C. 6A:3.4(f). If it is determined that the native language is dominant, then testing should be in the native language. If tests are unavailable in student's native language, then use informal assessment measures (language sample, oral story retelling).
According to N.J.A.C. 6A:14-3.5(b), "In making a determination of eligibility for special education and related services, a student shall not be determined eligible if the determinant factor is due to a lack of instruction in reading, including the essential components of reading instruction, or math or due to limited English proficiency."
Additionally, according to N.J.A.C. 6A:15-1.4(g), "…additional programs and services shall be designed to meet the special needs of eligible LEP students and include, but are not limited to, remedial instruction through Title 1 programs; special education; school-to-work programs; computer training and talented education services."
- If a limited English proficient student is determined eligible for special education services, what should the child study team consider when developing the individualized education program (IEP)?
N.J.A.C. 6A:14-3.7(c)5 requires that when developing an IEP for a student with limited English proficiency, the IEP team consider the language needs of the student as related to the IEP. The IEP team shall determine the language needs of the student.
- What are some other areas to consider when providing instruction to students who have limited English proficiency and are either classified or referred for an evaluation?
- Consider including bilingual or ESL professionals as part of the IEP team and solicit their input when considering the language needs of students with limited English proficiency.
- Contact your district's parent advisory group to better understand the needs of parents whose children have limited English proficiency and are receiving special education services.
- Utilize the district's pre-referral intervention system such as the Intervention and Referral Services committee (I&RS), Response to Intervention (RTI) or multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS). For more information on providing interventions to ELL can be found at http://www.rtinetwork.org/learn/diversity/englishlanguagelearners or http://www.wida.us/resources

David Axe on what he describes as the weirdest ship in the Royal Navy:
The British Royal Navy is deploying the auxiliary ship RFA Argus to Sierra Leone in West Africa in order to help health officials contain the deadly Ebola virus.
If you've never heard of Argus, you're not alone. She's an odd, obscure vessel — an ungainly combination of helicopter carrier, hospital ship and training platform.
But you've probably seen Argus, even if you didn't realize it. The 33-year-old vessel played a major role in the 2013 zombie movie World War Z, as the floating headquarters of the U.N.
The 575-foot-long Argus launched in 1981 as a civilian container ship. In 1982, the Royal Navy chartered the vessel to support the Falklands War … and subsequently bought her to function as an aviation training ship, launching and landing helicopters.
Argus' long flight deck features an odd, interrupted layout, with a structure — including the exhaust stack — rising out of the deck near the stern.
Weirdly, the deck's imperfect arrangement is actually an asset in the training role. Student aviators on Argus must get comfortable landing in close proximity to obstacles, which helps prepare them for flying from the comparatively tiny decks of frigates and other smaller ships.

Lenovo came with Win7 installed. How do I do a clean re-install?
My 2 year old laptop is starting to get sluggish so I'm wondering if I should try to do a clean install of my Home Premium Windows.
Problem is, the computer came with no disks. Also, I'm assuming that the Backup and Restore function that's built in would only give me a copy of my crap-filled hard drive contents if I "made" the backup (to an external disk, presumably) then "restored" it to my freshly formatted internal drive.......right?
So, can I make my OWN clean disks with some utility on the machine? Or do I have to BUY another copy of Windows 7 Home Premium? Or will Best Buy provide me with one if I take my machine in? Or will Lenovo provide one?
Sorry if some of these questions sound idiotic.....but haven't done much in the way of installations, backups OR restorations.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
As I said, the primary reason I'm considering this is because the old baby is starting to chug a bit, and it's my understanding that getting off the data, wiping the drive, then reinstalling Windows is the best way to get my computer cleaned up and fast again. If that's a bad premise.....I'm all ears.

One final dumb question: what's the best way to get all my personal files (docs, photos, music, etc) off the drive before I do the big wipe job? (I see posts about a program called Teracopy...although the posts seem old-ish. Is that still a good one? Or are there better?)
Thanks, again!

I just use the built in Windows (file) Explorer to copy the to a USB flash drive and then compare the folders after the copy. Maybe other forum members have a better idea.

Sci-fi writers & futurists have been promising this thing to us since way back in the day. Finally, the flying car is here. The Pal-V One is a 2-seat, 3-wheeled car that gets 28 mpg and hits ground speeds over 100. In 10 minutes you can transform it into a plane with a flight range of 500 miles. And Yes, you need a pilot's license to take this thing up.
You either love the Dodge Viper or you hate, there's no in between. The 2013 SRT model packs a seriously rebuilt & re-tuned power train. The 640 horse V10 is now even faster while the body has been shaved down and tightened up for a leaner, more muscular look. Sorry, haters, it's sick.
The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG just looks like the kind of car the plastic surgeon stores his golf clubs in and pays to have detailed every few days. But this luxurious little coupe will snap your neck back. For the new year, Benz outfitted it with an all-aluminum body, shedding 245 lbs, and they updated the twin turbos on the V12 powerplant. They also dropped the outdated 5-speed gearbox in favor of a seven-speed automatic unit that gives it better gas mileage and sprint times. Good for making those tee times.
Watercars could easily have come from the same drawing board as the Can Am Spyder, that weird snowmobile-style tricycle that somehow made it into production. But they didn't. They came from the mind of custom car and boat builder Dave March. Amphibious cars are nothing new but nobody makes them like March. His Watercar brand offers two models. One is a hotrod built around a Corvette motor and the other is a bolt-together kit that converts a variety of cars into badass boats.
What happened to sports car design? Back in the '50s the lightweight, open roof LeMans racers had class, they had personality. Driving was a breathtaking experience. If that nostalgic style is more inspiring to you than some computerized European luxury landyacht, the little Barchetta from Dutch duo, Huet Brothers looks pretty sweet. This 2-seater's got a snappy in-line 6 and no babyseat anchors.
The floodgates are about to open at the Geneva Motor Show next week. But who was really expecting this electric bombshell from Infiniti? The fact is, Nissan's luxury offshoot had to do something pretty bold to make anyone take notice. The Emerge-E is it. This sleek mid-engine supercar looks like something squeezed out the birth canal of a Lamborghini after a late-night hook up with an Audi R8.
It's got a top speed of 211 MPH and goes 0-60 in 3 seconds. When the new 2013 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta hits the streets it will officially be the fastest, most powerful Ferrari ever. In reality, the closest most of us will ever get to this 730-horse V12 is seeing one of those juiced-up goons from Jersey Shore driving one on MTV but you have to admit it's got curves that give JWoww a run for her money.
The updated Ferrari California has gotten a complete makeover and will finally drive like a Ferrari is supposed to. Shedding nearly 70 pounds through structural streamlining using aluminum you could call this model the 'biggest loser in their lineup.' Its throaty V8 also got a boost and now outputs 490 horses but the most impressive upgrade is the "handling speciale" package featuring stiffer springs, and complex suspension modifications that deliver ridiculous response.
Originally designed for rescue and response operations, the Phibian is an all-terrain beast that hits highway speeds on land and does 30-mph on water and it's perfectly road and sea legal. The Phibian will also carry 15 passengers or 3300 hundred pounds of cargo. If you've been dreaming about building a cabin somewhere out on a remote island, add this high speed amphibian to your wishlist, it will come in handy.
The forthcoming Aston Martin landshark, which will hit the Geneva Auto Show next month, is a 6-liter V12 coupe called the Zagato. It's a totally hand-built, premium-quality masterpiece that packs 510 horsepower and copius slabs of carbon fiber in the body. With cars like this on the road, Italy might be able to solve its debt crisis with speeding ticket fines.

ROCHELLE (WIFR) -- A Stateline restaurant is being honored for its great food and service.
Flight Deck Bar and Grill is in the heart of the Chicagoland Skydiving Center in Rochelle and on Friday it was given the "Illinois Five Prop Award". That means its the top airport restaurant in all of Illinois. You don't need a plane ticket to get but local pilots can fly in for lunch or dinner. Restaurant owner Douglas Smith says the businesses success wouldn't have been possible with out the help of the Rochelle community.
"One of the things that really drew us to Rochelle is the support that we get from the council, from the mayor, from the locals here in town, the airport. Just unbelievable able support from the top down," Smith said.
Smith says when pilots fly in for a meal they also help boost business at the airport when buying gas.

Figure 1. Model of a "transcriptional clock."
The focus of our research is on understanding the molecular mechanisms governing the activity of estrogen receptor (ER), a member of the nuclear receptor transcription factor family that is critical in normal reproduction and is implicated in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. ER is an intracellular receptor that when activated by estrogen and other estrogen-like compounds, binds directly to DNA and activates or represses gene transcription. It serves as an important model for the understanding of basic mechanisms of transcription, as well as the regulatory pathways that control the cellular responses to steroid hormones.
Currently, we are pursuing projects that address the role of post-translational regulation in the control of ERa protein activity, with emphasis on proteasome-mediated proteolysis. Experiments are aimed at better defining the signals that target ER for destruction and understanding how protein stability affects ERa transcriptional function. In trying to elucidate the link between protein stability and transactivation, our research has identified novel regulatory and activation mechanisms for ERa and is placed into an emerging model of a "transcriptional clock" (Figure 1) that explores the dynamics and specificity of macromolecular complexes governing gene expression.

Pictured above is one tiny corner of the formerly mammoth Longbridge factory complex that last made MGs. Now owned by SAIC, the site is meant to be undergo extensive repurposing. To help keep it British – and perhaps pick up a little more interest in MG – SAIC has called for help in naming five access roads that will grace the new site.
The only requirement looks to be that the names "reflect the heritage of the MG brand." You have until Friday, February 26 to get your submissions in. A friendly tip, though: you can probably skip names like "Leyland," "Phoenix," and "Do They Still Make Those?"

My problem is this, i can see my network and the little bars are halfway full but then when i try connect it doesn't allow me to saying something like could not connect, if i move my laptop closer to router it connects and i am able to move back to the place i originally was unable to connect from.
My question is why does this happen and are there any setting i can change to make my laptop connect even when there is a low connection status?
I am running windows 7.

The only thing I can think of in this case is interference - the "bars" you are shown are a guide only, but anything over half way should connect.
Check your connection problem area for other broadcasting electronics - especially cordless phones - also check the area around the router for the same.

Did it used to work fine?
Are you in a crowded wireless location - that is, are there many wireless networks around you, such as in a dorm or apartment complex? You may need to change channels. See your wireless router manual for that.
If your wireless access point (WAP), in this case, your router, has external antennas, move them around and try again. If internal antennas, rotate the router. Move the antennas/router to a higher location. Decrease the number of walls/floors/ceiling between the notebook and WAP.

It's always had that problem since the router has been moved further from my room.
It's not overly crowded simply a 6 person flat, it works perfectly when i'm closer but i just find it odd that i can detect it yet not connect to it could this just be windows over telling the strength of the signal?
cheers for replies so far guys.

Are you using wireless g or n (what band) and what is the distance from router to laptop and any obstacles.
|My System Specs
|30 Jul 2010
wireless g, its a siemens speedstream 6520.
distance would be less than 20m , and a couple of walls and a floor.
|My System Specs
|30 Jul 2010
May be the walls and where you position your laptop/router. I get this sometimes.Im not familiar with your router but make sure the aerials are up high, say on a shelf dont have your router on the floor. Also is there any intereference if so try changing channel, normal is ch11. My netgear dg834 quite often goes down to 2 bars when laptop on bed and router 2 walls away. Better, with dg834pn which is multiple aerials mimo. M

Radio receivers can maintain a "lock" on a signal easier than finding a weak one. So you able to get a lock, and maintaining it as you walk away is no surprise to me. A couple walls and a floor is likely much of your problem. Note it is not just the wall and floor materials, but the wiring and pipes within them that can impact reception too.
It's not overly crowded simply a 6 person flat
If me, and you cannot relocate the WAP/router, and you cannot run an Ethernet cable, then I would attempt to talk your flatmates into buying a 802.11n wireless router. Note it is not just so you can connect, but 11n will dramatically improve everyone's network performance and more importantly, offer better security as well. It may, unfortunately, require them to also upgrade their adapters, if they don't already support 11n, but again, the results will be better access speeds and security for all. And with 99.9% surity, it will resolve your connection problems too.

Wow, this bathing suit will definitely turn heads. It is a true Brazilian cut without being too small. You can also adjust how much coverage you want but untying the bow and stretching it out. The top has a really nice lace up feature that I really love. From the front to the back very different and sexy. This two piece has Vegas written all over it, super sexy without going over the top. The sizing is very true to size.
This ruffle bandeau and brazilian bottom are so perfect for Spring Break or Vegas! They are super sexy with the laced-up backs that can easily be adjusted (for more or less coverage) with full support. The bottoms sit nicely along my hip and make my bottom look great!
This is such a cute suit! I love the pattern and the ruffle detail on the bandeau. I have a smaller bust, so this type of swimsuit is really flattering! The ruffles add volume :) Definitely perfect for summer and can't wait to wear this out!

Well, this is embarrassing: According to The Nielsen Co., the U.S. news media have outdone their U.K. counterparts in terms of covering the upcoming nuptials of Britain's Prince William and Kate Middleton—and not by a small margin, either. —KA
Nielsen Wire:
Since the couple's November 2010 engagement, there have been thousands of news posts about the Royal Wedding and its participants by U.S. news outlets, accounting for more than .3% of all news coverage immediately following the engagement and a steady stream of articles since. This share of news coverage from traditional media sources is considerably higher than in the U.K. and Australia. Given the varied number of news outlets, the share of news coverage is the best metric for comparison among the three markets; the share of news coverage by U.S. news outlets is more than twice that in the United Kingdom and Australia at the most recent measurement on April 3.

Douglas Engelbart, PC pioneer and creator of the mouse, dies at 88
Douglas Engelbart, the creator of the computer mouse and the man who pushed the computer industry into the graphical user interface age, has died in his California home at the age of 88 from kidney failure. Douglas Engelbart and mouse Douglas Engelbart and the first mouse In 1967 Engelbart filed Patent No. 3,541,541 for "X-Y …
It's probably no coincidence that the mouse didn't really take off big time until the patent ran out. Although I'm not sure if Commodore or Atari even licenced it? they were doing mice in 1985 and the patent expired in 1987.
People who think WIMP is dead due to touch screens probably aren't using their computer creatively. The time before the mouse was very frustrating.
The mouse-less computer was like the mobile phone without a touch screen. Drawing anything on the screen was like using an etch-a-sketch.
And yet
No one has come up with a better idea.
No touch screens don't cut it I'm afraid.
I think it probably is a coincidence. I was using computers with mice well before 1987. Back then, the mouse was an inferior but cheaper interface compared to a track-ball. A 2-axis joystick was also sometimes used. Given that the computer cost a 4- or 5-figure sum, the added cost of a track-ball wasn't a particularly noticeable extra and neither would the royalties on a mouse have been. Mice took off when computers got cheap enough that the cost of the interface device became a significant part of the system price.
Mouse evolution: each was perceived as a huge leap forward in quality.
Mk. 1 two wheels scraping on desk. Diagonal motion had a very nonlinear relation to vertical or horizontal motion!
Mk. 2A one ball scraping on desk, driving two wheels inside the mouse. Contact rotation sensing. These mice degraded quite rapidly as the contacts wore out or got dirty.
Mk. 2B as Mk. 2A, but with optical rotation sensing.
Mk. 3, optical mouse with no moving parts, as is universal(?) today. Early versions required the use of a mouse-mat with a particular pattern printed on it. Losing the mat was like losing the mouse!
Youngsters have probably never experienced the joys of trying to get the accumulated fluff and sticky muck off the rollers and wheels in a physical-contact mouse.
Re: And yet
The track-ball was probably better, at least until the modern optical mouse (no moving parts) arrived. You can still buy them. They cost a bit more.
For driving a CAD or artistic-design system, track-pads(*) with pens or wands remain commonly in use. Absolute rather than relative position control. Again, better, but definitely a lot more expensive.
The mouse is definitely the best idea if cost is factored in.
(*) not to be confused with the finger-sensing track-pad on a laptop.
Re: And yet
"For driving a CAD or artistic-design system, track-pads(*) with pens or wands remain commonly in use"
No they don't, not for CAD at least.
Re: And yet
CAD pads? I can't swear to how common, but I saw one being used for CAD a couple of days ago. Wacom still has a business making them.
Maybe they will know him now.
By coincidence, just last week, apropos of us not knowing our own, I wrote this:"
"Doug Engelbart is still alive as I write this. I wonder what percentage of people whose livings depend upon his work have even heard of him. You would probably need a decimal point to express it in numbers."
It is a shame that these people have to die to get noticed.
Re: Maybe they will know him now.
> It is a shame that these people have to die to get noticed.
"he has scooped most of the top awards, including the Turing Prize, the US National Medal of Technology,a British Computer Society's Lovelace Medal, and Yale's first honorary doctorate of engineering and technology."
I think he was noticed by the people who matter. I'd rather achieve recognition by my peers than celebrity status.
it seems strange that windowing environments and mice were not designed as a single thing, they go together so well.
Thanks Doug, I like using my mouse.
Re: Maybe they will know him now.
Re: "I think he was noticed by the people who matter. I'd rather achieve recognition by my peers than celebrity status."
Agreed; moi aussi. Still, he fueled the popular imagination. He belongs there as well.
Re: Maybe they will know him now.
I think the problem came about because he did slip in to obscurity as the world was not yet ready for his work. After all just how many of the general world (and a lot of the IT world) have heard of him, or Joseph Licklider. Without the pair of them we'd almost certainly not have the computer aided world we have today.
You might like to compare that demo with what most people's desktops can do today.

Bush's essay (IIRC "As we may think") set a lot of heads thinking.
I'm sad to see another of the 1st generation pass.
What a shame
They're dropping off like flies at the moment, all these great pioneers. There seems to be an obituary every few days for people who, in their younger days, contributed their tremendous ingenuity towards advancing computer technology. There's a feeling of loss when someone whose work and mind have helped to improve millions of people's lives leaves us for good. It feels like they leave a hole that cannot be easily filled. But what can you do? It's part of the human condition.
Re: What a shame
They're dropping off like flies at the moment, all these great pioneers. There seems to be an obituary every few days "
I was thinking the same. Then I reminded myself what year this is. These people pioneering computing were at their peak aged 20-30 back in the 40's, 50's and 60's so most of them are in the 70's or 80's now .
So, not really surprising. More sort of inevitable I suppose.
Re: What a shame
"But what can you do? It's part of the human condition."
I prefer to disagree and don't be okay with that last paragraph. I think we can even overcome dead. Not being okay with our current capabilities is exactly what this great people were/are made of, I hope we soon overflow the world with people like them.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
Patent expiry not necessarily required
"It's probably no coincidence that the mouse didn't really take off big time until the patent ran out."
That didn't seem to be a problem back in the day: I (briefly) had my mitts on a mouse in 1980, attached to an ICL Perq, which was demoing word-processing and drawing apps at an internal BBC technology show in 1980. That was a good 4 years before the Apple Lisa appeared. I used one of those too, but IMO the Perq was better, faster (and probably cost more as well as being a lot bigger): I remember being more than somewhat impressed.
That technology show was packed with great stuff, but the the two items I really remember were the Perq and the NRDC Surround Sound system, which beat the crap out of any other 3D sound system I've heard since.
pioneer of a frontier
Early computing was very wild west, the first completely new thing since radio waves in many ways. Holds and valleys were invented before being fought over, before them there was nothing. Computing went through the most staggeringly rapid evolution and those early pioneers more or less invented the metaphors and language that everybody afterwards used. Real trailblazing stuff.
Strange how the obvious is so very, very difficult
It's taken me a long time to move from the mindset of solving tech problems to making computers easy to use. It takes a special mind to escape from CLIs & raw tech and reach *naturally* for WYSIWYG, mice etc & putting the user first. I know this because I spent a lot of time thinking about how to improve the user experience before WIMPs, and I never 'got' it. He did.
I'll never have the natural talent for that that guys like this have, but slowly I'm getting there with their help.
Shoulders of giants, though another has fallen.
Re: It takes a special mind to ... reach *naturally* for WYSIWYG, mice etc & putting the user first.
And it only takes an idiot to undo all the good work and come up with what they want to be the latest fashion in user interfaces, for the benefit of their profit, their ego, or both.
Those real advances, give or take a regular tweak here and there, were, and are, few and far between, and, being truly good and workable ideas, they have enormous longevity: a fact that does not suit those who just want to peddle their latest version.
Few were the giants. Few are those who succeed in even standing on their shoulders. Rather more are those that try, and fall flat on their faces.
The mouse, of course, seems to endure all.
(Now, can I have one without microswitches that stop working in a few months, controlled by touch alone, that works perfectly with Linux? Please. When I find one, I'm going to call it Engelbart)
I'm standing on the shoulders of giants
Thank you sir. You made my I.T. life and I suspect others a whole lot easier.
Here is to Douglas Engelbart!
Indeed, here's to Douglas Engelbart!
I shall use my mouse all day, this day, in his honour. Nay, not just a day, but I shall use it all week, all year!
If nothing else, this reminds you of your own mortality.
At age 51, I am hardly in the same bracket as the real pioneers, but I am old enough to have used slide rules, punch cards and such in real use and not just gawked at them in glass cases at museums.
A toast to Douglas Engelbart
Now that is what I understand as innovation - Cheers Sir, & rest ye gentle soul.
What a stupid remark!
« What did you need with window-like boxes on the screen for different applications and text editors when simply keying in code or using punch cards would achieve the same result? »
Don't they have any idea how many xterms you can have open at the same time with different windows?
I true visionary and believer in the power of computing to make people's lives better.
RIP, Doug.
Doug: thanks
Another of the great ones passes away. An innovator and a visionary in the real sense. Doug Engelbart didn't only think about computers, he thought about people.
He is the reason my cat is called Engelbart.
Re: the reason my cat is called Engelbart.
A beer, sir! Have a beer
Rest in peace, my friend.
See you on the other side ... if there is one ;-)
Revisionism must be challenged
Nice one, Douglas.
I've encountered clueless marketing drones that got the Jobs biography for Christmas, that took it upon themselves to decide that Apple invented the mouse, and the GUI, and just about anything seminal to do with the way we interoperate with computers now. We should 'take inspiration from their inspiration', they issued, in a ditty. I'm heaving as I type this.
We know the truth, and should always try to make sure others do - before what is common knowledge now among us, begins to pale against populist ignorance and only those of us that care for computing history know the real deal.
Re: Revisionism must be challenged
Apple invented drag and drop, pull-down menus and lots of other things we consider now fundamental but it did so only after paying Xerox for access to its work and in an environment where the fundamentals had already been established by Engelbart and others.
So the revisionists that claim that Apple invented the GUI, mouse, etc, are way off the mark but since they tend to end up in arguments with [lower-order] revisionists on the anti-Apple side it's not worth holding your breath for a balanced view to emerge.
Re: Revisionism must be challenged
"I've encountered clueless marketing drones that got the Jobs biography for Christmas, that took it upon themselves to decide that Apple invented the mouse, and the GUI, and just about anything seminal to do with the way we interoperate with computers now."
If only that had taken it upon themselves to actually read the book as well! Isaacson's biography was by no means perfect (it's quite clear that technology isn't a subject that's his strong point) but giving the impression that Apple invented those things certainly isn't one of its flaws. It's *very* clear that Apple didn't do any such thing in the biography.
But in any case, R.I.P. Doug.
What ?????? Heresy I hear cried !!!!!
squeals of horror from fanbois/girls and jobsian cultist.....
What do you mean ??? steve jobs invented everything, apple are responsible for everything dontchya know.....
your article will lead to hordes of sales associate/partner/whatevers in apple stores across the world fainting in horror as the realisation hits them :-)
RIP Doug Engelbart you are a legend, a true innovator, more worthy of a cult than others, including Paris :-)
Re: What ?????? Heresy I hear cried !!!!!
>> your article will lead to hordes of sales associate/partner/whatevers in apple stores across the world fainting in horror as the realisation hits them :-)
Hardly. Fanbois of any sort, Apple or otherwise, have long ago mastered the art of doublethink.
Ave, Engelbart, those who are still alive salute you.
Re: fainting in horror as the realisation hits them
Don't worry: it won't.
someone will drag him to the recycle bin
Nice bloke too
I remember him demonstrating his piano-style "chord" keyboard and mouse plugged into a command-line MSDOS-based monochrome PC and getting text scrolling all over the screen (up, down, diagonally) as he worked on editing it. He also explained about stuff they tried that did not work so well before they came up with the mouse concept. (eg: a device which used your knee to move the cursor - not very precise!)
A very clever man, very good presenter/demonstrator. One of the industry giants.
RIP Doug.
The funeral arrangements have just been announced ... It will be a drag and drop affair
Here's a glass raised to you Mr Engelbart, sleep well!

Well thanks for that very fact filled video from a bunch of companies who have nothing to gain by telling us a gearbox is not efficient enough.

Our Clark County commissioners and now the Washougal City Council are both in the process of adding prayer to their public meeting agendas.
I am all for prayer. I've been doing it since I was a small child. It has been my experience that real prayer is best accomplished in private. What these two bodies seem to be proposing for themselves is a public display of prayer. Jesus Christ highly disapproved of this (Matthew 6:5-6) and spoke against it.
So to our county commissioners and to the city council, I say, "If you want to pray, pray!"
A public display of prayer, however, is not prayer at all. It's a complex statement aimed at whoever is watching.
