text: DigitalInside News Corp.'s Jockeying for Britain's BSkyBThe takeover is nearing completionBy Christopher Silvester|July 5, 2011 ShareBy Christopher Silvester|July 5, 2011 Share After more than a year, News Corp.'s takeover bid for British satellite broadcaster BSkyB is nearing completion. Britain's culture secretary, Jeremy Hunt, gave his approval for the takeover last Thursday, subject to some tweaking of the conditions and a new consultation of market rivals that will run until July 8. Assuming that News Corp. and BSkyB can agree on a price, the purchase seems likely to be concluded by mid-October. Last June, when Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. launched its bid for the 60.9 percent of BSkyB that it doesn't own, it had its eyes on the satellite broadcaster's revenue and profit figures. These would boost News Corp.'s own balance sheet, it has been estimated, by 25 percent in revenue and 30 percent in profits. By December of last year, the European Commission had ruled that there were no competition issues arising out of the bid since News Corp. already had a controlling interest in BSkyB. So all that remained was for the culture secretary to consider the matter of media plurality: Would the takeover reduce the mix of voices delivering news in the U.K. to a level that damaged the public interest? He decided to consult the people. Opponents to the takeover have included not just rival broadcaster the BBC, telephony and Internet service provider BT, and the companies that publish the Guardian, Telegraph, Mirror and Mail newspaper titles, but also the citizens' advocacy group Avaaz and even the Church of England. Indeed, it was the 40,000 responses to the culture secretary's first consultation, most of them generated by Avaaz, that have delayed things until now. Although James Murdoch is nominally in charge of News Corp.'s bid process, the British media and public continue to portray Murdoch as the bogeyman. Avaaz, which is considering whether to take the culture secretary to court and seek a judicial review of his decision, protested outside the Department of Culture's offices yesterday with puppets of Hunt and Prime Minister David Cameron being controlled by a man wearing an enormous grinning Murdoch head. Judging by the comments posted on news websites yesterday and today, Murdoch still has the power to engender fear and loathing on a gargantuan scale. And what of Jeremy Hunt's added conditions? They are not reckoned to be very demanding. One is to have an independent editorial director present at Sky News board meetings. Anyone familiar with Rupert Murdoch's career in the media business will know that he eats independent directors for breakfast. The Times of London and its sister paper had independent editorial directors who were ineffective, and when similar safeguards were offered during Murdoch's bid for The Wall Street Journal, Times journalist Fred Emery recalled Murdoch's response when reminded of his promise not to fire Times editors without the approval of its independent directors: "God, you don't take all that seriously, do you?" The other condition Hunt has imposed has been a doubling of the period from seven to 14 years during which BSkyB must give Sky News brand licensing through cross-promotion on its other channels. But few commentators expect the process to be upset at this stage, and the main sticking point now is the price at which the other shareholders will sell their holdings. One of the key motivations for News Corp. in launching the bid last year was the advantageous dollar-sterling exchange rate. News Corp. had a cash pile in America, and U.K. sterling assets were cheap. Already the delays are said to have cost News Corp. dearly, as the pound has gained against the dollar in the meantime. In June of last year, when BSkyB stock was trading at below £6 ($9.6), News Corp. offered £7 a share ($11.2), which would have meant an overall bill of £7.8 billion ($12.5 billion). Now, however, BSkyB stock stands at a penny or so below £8.50, suggesting that News Corp. will have to offer about £8.75 (around £9.3 billion, or $14.9 billion, overall). Back in March, it was reported that Fidelity, one of the fund managers with a substantial investment in BSkyB, was seeking an investment bank to assist it in securing the highest possible price. Other funds that were said to be anxious to extract maximum value from their share holdings were Blackrock and New York-based Taconic Capital Advisors. One of the more gung-ho BSkyB shareholders is hedge-fund manager Crispin Odey, of Odey Asset Management, which has a 2.7 percent stake in BSkyB. Based on BSkyB's recent record profits, he puts the overall value of the company at £19 billion ($30.5 billion). He is thought to be holding out for an £11 price tag for his shares (which, if extrapolated, would raise the total cost of News Corp.'s bid to well over £11 billion, or $17.6 billion). Odey is Rupert Murdoch's former son-in-law, having been married at one time to Murdoch's daughter by his first marriage, Prue. With no known animus towards Murdoch, Odey is treating it as merely a matter of business. Yet News Corp. has plenty of room for maneuver. It currently owns 39.1 percent of BSkyB, and if it can agree to a price with just half of the other shareholders, that would take its stake to 75 percent. Once that is achieved, News Corp. could resort to the nuclear option of forcing a delisting, which would in turn force hedge funds and other fund managers to sell, since many of them are required by their own rules of governance to deal only in listed securities. Beyond that, if no deal has been reached within five months of regulatory approval having been granted, News Corp. would have to forfeit a penalty payment of $61.8 million to BSkyB but would thereafter only require 50.1 percent of shareholders' votes to secure the takeover. The question remains: Just how far are BSkyB's recalcitrant shareholders prepared to go in order to rain on Rupert's parade? Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kbBn4Q copy Adweek Adweek

Strange brew: People are freaking out over the Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino
What is this strange magic Starbucks has unleashed unto the land?
A drink that looks purple when served but turns pink when stirred?
A drink that changes from tangy to tart without a wand?
Do you now understand why people are freaking out over the Unicorn Frappuccino, which debuts Wednesday?
Are you sad it will only be available for five days and then — poof! — will be gone?
Unicorn Frappuccino u like? @mikeequintos haha only available if you believe pic.twitter.com/dDb2YfKXaw— Mikee Quintos (@onlyformikee) April 16, 2017
It's like "tropical rainbow Skittles in drink form," gushes Starbucks Secret Menu.
A company spokesperson tells Mic and Business Insider that the drink is not a good witch's brew but simply a creme Frappuccino made with mango syrup and layered with a sour powder topping.
Starbucks released an official image of the drink, but Instagrammers have done it better justice, as they usually do.
Sweet mango cream with a sour finish, coming soon! ____________________________________________________ #starbucksburlingameave #baristadaily #baristalife #Frappuccino #comingsoon #unicorn #unicornfrappuccino #starbuckslover #starbucks #starbuckscoffee #starbucksaddict #district580 #area51trailblazers #pink #blue #sour #mango #Frappuccino #cupsinhands #starbucksiren #siren #coffeeshots #coffeecommunity #coffeeculture #crazy #tobeapartnernorcal #tobeapartner
"Adding a beverage that looks like a blenderized doughnut to the menu means many people will question the drink's nutritional value," notes Business Insider.
So here are the dietary details: A tall Unicorn Frappuccino made with whole milk and whipped cream would have 280 calories and 39 grams of sugar. Without the whipped cream and made with almond milk, a tall has 170 calories and 34 grams of sugar.
And lest you think Starbucks is breaking new ground, consider that unicorn themes have already invaded smaller drink establishments, such as a Times Square coffee bar that sells this Unicorn Latte.
Business Insider points to other unicorn drinks out there and says, "Starbucks didn't want to be left out."
A unicorn macaroon to go with that Frappuccino?

From Arusha
airport (about an hour's drive from Kilimanjaro), Gill took a light aircraft transfer to Seronera
airstrip, followed by a fifty-minute scenic drive through the bush to reach the lodge, so it is quite a journey, but Gill says that it usually means that you're heading somewhere very special... and she was right! When she was shown to her suite at Four Seasons Safari Lodge, she was blown away by the incredible views over the spectacular Serengeti plains that
stretch as far as the eye can see − a wonderful feature of all the rooms, suites and villas.
There is no need to forego any luxuries here, as there is a lovely little spa where Gill enjoyed a fantastic massage that soon made her feel relaxed after her long journey. Gill says that the wildlife is abundant all year round in the Serengeti which is also world-renowned for the
spectacular annual migration of wildebeest and zebra in search of
the best grazing land, often known as 'the greatest show on Earth'. The lodge offers a an
impressive range of activities including half and full day safaris (there are no night-time game-drives as vehicles have to be out of the park by sunset)
that offer brilliant opportunities to spot the 'big five' (lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes and
Gill enjoyed game-viewing from
the comfort of the balcony of her suite too and says that there are plenty of other ways to experience this
wonderful wilderness, from simple pleasures
including relaxing beside the infinity pool − where elephants often drink at the watering hole
beyond − to a unique dinner at the boma restaurant
accompanied by Masai tribal dancing. A visit to the
discovery centre is an absolute must to find out
fascinating facts about African culture and history;
you can even meet the local Masai people and learn about programmes designed to
help local schools or wildlife. Guest speakers sometimes visit the lodge too, so you
might have the opportunity to listen to a lecture about the region's flora and fauna.
you want to do an excursion, there is an exciting hot-air balloon safari that takes off
early in the morning so you can catch the sunrise and when you wish to wind down in
the evenings, begin with sundowners at the bar, but do make sure you have your
camera ready to snap away at the beautiful sunset. Before retiring to your bed, you
must take a seat in the outdoor lounge, look up, and simply admire the beauty of the
stars in the clearest of night skies − the scene simply took my breath away.
Gill also suggests combining your luxury stay in the Serengeti with a couple of nights exploring the
beautiful Ngorongoro Crater conservation area, also in Tanzania – where black rhinos, elephants, big cats and
flamingos are amongst its residents.

This is my blog. It's just random bits of stuff I feel like writing down and sharing with my audience, be they real or imaginary. If I become uninspired, it's all your fault.
|Dot and her DOTS!!
|Little Lotta
|Richie and Gloria
|Freckles and Pee Wee
Hello again, I don't know as much about Harvey comics as some other publishers, but I did somehow end up with a stack of Richie Rich, Casper, Sad Sack and Dot somehow when I was in primary school. Comic distribution was totally random in the UK, with American comics appearing in bizarre groupings in tiny local shops such as "The Fishing Tackle" where they were sold alongside bait and mussels in the microscopically small Scottish fishing village where I grew up. No two deliveries were the same and I assume one of these must have been Harveys. I never saw an Archie comic until I was well into my twenties (that whole two girls on the go at once thing does not work best first approached from an adult perspective). Anyway, what I liked about Harvey was that the comics came in such a bewildering series of combinations. The same characters seemed to turn up in all the titles to some degree, no matter whose name was on the cover. Also, whichever way you looked at it, one of their main characters was rather dead, happy or not. Plus they were prone to publishing my main weakness, the giant size issue. Before American comics started printing special UK issues the comics were stamped at point of import with a price, and clearly the import clerks could be bothered sorting out which of a batch had thirty, sixty or (the pinnicale) 100 pages, often stamping them all the same price, generally around 7 pence. Cheap as dirt. DC changed almost all their titles to "100 pages for 60 cents" for about five minutes in the early seventies and it is still possible I might be buried with these issues because I love them so much.
Ach, I have ruined my post by missing out the word not as in "...the import clerks could not be bothered sorting out...". The shame.
I love little dot! I want a little dot shirt now!
Hi Raekerr! Thanks for sharing such great memories. I know what you mean about the confusing Harvey comic book guest appearances. I remember one Richie Rich story where Richie was having a birthday party and Little Dot and Little Lotta were in attendance. Why? It wasn't explained. I didn't even think they lived in the same town, let alone know one another. The writers loved to mix it all up from time to time and make us wonder. Great fun!
Oldest Daughter Admirer- anyone who wants to wear a Little Dot t-shirt is as dotty as Dot herself!!

Small Action Big Change Erasmus + Finland residential camp
The films are being shared widely as part of the dissemination of the project work. The whole project team (children and adults) has been deeply inspired by the many different explorations, conversations, mini projects, communications and gatherings that have happened throughout the two year project. Incredibly deep friendships and working relationships have happened between both schools and these will continue because the links feel so strong.
There are two different films, one is a 15 minute documentation which gives an overview of what happened during the week long residency. The other film is a 10 minute story which is a record of the explorations and ideas carried out by the children through drama as they explored the story The Island with drama practitioner Parmjit Sagoo.
We've had some wonderful feedback so far and really look forward to sharing the project work and being able to have dialogues about the issues we've been looking at.

According to the internet-breaking selfie master Kim Kardashian, there are four simple rules to taking the perfect photo of your own face – holding the phone high, knowing your angle, knowing your lighting, and working that "duck face".
But looking at these recent stats, you may want to add "check to see if you're likely to plummet to your death" to that list too.
Data compiled by Priceonomics, who trawled through three years of newspaper archives to collate reports of photo-related fatalities, has found that of 49 selfie deaths since 2014 a massive 40 per cent of them happened in India, with the most common cause listed as falling from a great height. What's more, 75 per cent of victims were male.
The data seems to correlate with the recent trend of daredevils scaling tall buildings all in the name of "rooftopping" photography. Daniel Lau, for example, went viral last year when he snapped happy from the top of a Hong Kong skycraper, but has also added China's fourth-tallest building, the 450-metre Zifeng Tower in Nanjing, to his list of pinnacles reached.
Not every climb has gone to plan for these gutsy snappers, though. A 17-year-old Russian known only as Andrew R fell to his death in October 2015 while trying to get a shot that looked like he was falling from a building.
In researching the statistics, Priceonomics also uncovered some truly bizarre (and tragic) accidents, including the drunk 21-year-old Mexican man that shot himself while posing with a gun, and two Russian teens who wanted a photo with a live grenade, only for it to explode in their hands.
So the next time you fancy documenting your awesome view from the top of a building or fancy looking cool next to a dangerous firearm, remember: 4G signal isn't brilliant in the afterlife.

Robin Newton East Belfast DUP MLA has met with residents in Jonesboro Park who have had new kitchens installed as part of a Northern Ireland Housing Executive scheme. Residents who are delighted with the new kitchens have waited a long time for the for this work to get started.
Robin Newton said,
"This scheme, Lower Beersbridge Scheme, comprising 110 new kitchens was at one time cancelled due to funding cut backs. However, i am pleased that following contact with NIHE, after face-to-face meetings, correspondence and lobbying money was finally found."
Residents are delighted with their new kitchens and Mrs Lily Warnock said, "if we hadn't contacted Robin Newton and him getting involved I don't think we would have got our new kitchens."
Mrs Myrtle Cooke agreed adding, "no matter what we contact Robin about he is willing to help. I am delighted all the work is finished and my new and modern kitchen is now installed."
"This worthwhile scheme has been very well received by residents and is a good investment by NIHE, added Robin Newton"

Single Game Football Tickets On Sale Monday
July 25, 2008
SEATTLE - Most of the so-called college football 'experts' have labeled Washington's 2008 schedule as the nation's toughest. With non-conference opponents such as BYU, Oklahoma and Notre Dame visiting Husky Stadium this fall, that comes as no surprise.
Single-game tickets to watch the Huskies against this trio of non-league opponents and a quartet of Pacific-10 Conference rivals go on sale Monday, July 28 at 8:30 a.m. through the Husky Ticket Office, located in Graves Hall of the UW campus. Tickets may also be purchased by calling 206/543-2220 or by visiting GoHuskies.com online by clicking here.
'I look at it as a challenge and I think our team accepts it as a challenge,' said UW head coach Tyrone Willingham, when asked about the 2008 schedule at the recent Pac-10 football media day. 'It is great for our players to test themselves against a high caliber of competition and our fans love to see us compete against other great teams.'
In addition to playing three non-league teams that are accustomed to competing for national glory, the Huskies host conference rivals Stanford, Oregon State, Arizona State and UCLA. For a complete schedule, click here.
Special four-game mini plans and season tickets are currently on sale, with the Husky Ticket Office reporting that sales are slightly ahead of last year's pace. Washington sold 43,516 season tickets in 2007, which represented a gain of nearly 1,000 over the previous season. The UW is currently sitting at 43,048 season tickets sold for the upcoming season.
Washington opens the season on Saturday, August 30 in an emotional Pac-10 rivalry game at the University of Oregon. The game will be televised live nationally by FSN and is certain to feature a sold-out Autzen Stadium in Eugene.
The Huskies open their seven-game home schedule on Sept. 6 at high noon against BYU, which will come into the game owning the nation's longest active unbeaten streak, on FSN. The University of Oklahoma, generally ranked among the top four teams in the nation by preseason magazines, will visit Husky Stadium one week later, on Sept. 13, in a nationally-televised game begining at 4:45 p.m. (7:45 p.m. Eastern) on ESPN.

Hi Supermoms,
Third Consecutive Cookie recipe from me !!!!
You could say that I am on a 'COOKIE SPREE'. Baking a cookie is both therapeutic as well as so 'fruitful'.
No, I am not joking! Your house will smell like a bakery and the cookies disappear so quickly that you are motivated to bake more.
The Jeera Biscuits brought back childhood memories for my hubby and he asked whether I could bake the famous 'Shrewsbury Cookies' for him as that was the most tasty cookie he enjoyed during his teenage.
I searched for some interesting Shrewsbury recipes and finally made my own version of the 'Shrewsbury Cookies'.
These cookies are basically English Tea Cookies that have a fruity flavour. These are buttery and absolutely delicious. As it has been festival season, I had a lot of sweet lime in my refrigerator. Was glad that I could use some of it here.
A easy, interesting and fruity bake it is!
Shrewsbury Thumbprint Cookies:
Preparation time : 10 minutes
Baking Time : 12 to 15 minutes
Yield : 35 medium size Cookies
200 gms All purpose Flour
100 gms Powdered Sugar
100 gms Butter
1 tablespoon milk powder
3 Tablespoon Sweet lime juice ( adjust)
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
A pinch of Salt
2 tablespoons of Strawberry Jam (OR any jam of your choice) for the thumbprint
1. Extract juice from Sweet lime . Keep it aside.
2. In a bowl, add butter and beat it with a hand whisk so that it becomes light and creamy. You can also use a electric beater if you have one. Add powdered sugar and whisk/beat again .I did this manually. It will look like this.
3. Mix the flour,baking powder, baking soda,milk powder and salt with a fork so that it mixes uniformly. Add this flour mixture to the butter mixture and using your hand, incorporate the buttery sugar mixture into the flour. You will get a crumbly sand like texture.
4.Add the sweet lime juice and make a smooth,soft,medium stiff dough.
5. Divide the dough into smaller portions. In your worktable, roll out the dough into large circle with a thickness of atleast 1 cm.
6. Cut them in desired shapes using cookie cutters or bottle caps. Line a baking tray with butter paper. Place them at a gap of 1/2 inch. Using your thumb, give a light impression on each cookie.
7. Using a spoon, carefully add jam on the impression. In a preheated oven, bake the cookies at 180 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes depending upon your oven or till the time the sides and the back of the cookies turn brown. . I baked them in the middle rack.
8. Take them out of the oven and after 5 minutes, they will be manageable to touch.
9. Remove them from the tray and cool them in a cooling rack. They will firm up and become crispier.
Your Shrewsbury Thumbprint cookies are ready for tea time! Enjoy them in style!
1. Adding milk powder is optional.
2.You can add your choice of juice and jam.
3.You can use Whole Wheat Flour ( I have used WWF) instead of APF or 50:50 APF:WWF, for healthier option.
4.After 8 minutes of baking, have a look at the cookies and decide on the additional time.
6. Make a smooth dough without cracks.
7.Do not press too much while making thumb impression, else the cookies will crack.
8.Do not add too much jam . It will leak and stick to the butter paper. You don't need that mess!
Happy Baking!
With love,

Roughly a month and a half ago, word came in that the official Google Pixel and Pixel XL system images had leaked before their initial release just days later. We couldn't help ourselves, so we dove head-first inside them to see what we could extract and hopefully use on our own devices to make them similar to Google's latest offerings. And since we run a technology-based news site, we had to tell you guys about it.
We wrote up four different articles regarding the leaked system images, each with a different element of the Pixel and Pixel XL available for download. And unsurprisingly, you guys really appreciated this. In fact, the articles blew up so much that they're still trending on MBEDDED to this day. Therefore, building off of the success of these pieces, we thought we'd offer you guys a hub that curates everything you can download and load onto your device to transform your phone into a Google Pixel.
Below are download links to every file shared via these articles, while other elements such as the official wallpaper have also been added. And while we weren't able to extract the Google Assistant ourselves, we added a link to Google Allo, the messaging app with the Assistant built in, for your convenience.
Enough with the chit-chat. Download away.

This easy recipe for homemade cocktail sauce is great with any seafood. Use it for shrimp cocktails, fried shrimp or any fish where you like a hot sauce. You can make it mild or as hot as you like by just adjusting the ingredients to suit your taste and I think anything's better homemade.
1 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 to 2 tablespoons grated raw horseradish or can us horseradish sauce
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
few drops Tabasco or hot sauce, (optional)
Mix all ingredients together. I use the hand mixer to do this. Can make as little or much as you like by doubling or tripling recipe. Keeps well in refrigerator for weeks. Makes 1 cup. Enjoy!

Instead of using hot sauce, try using some wasabi to kick it up a few notches.
I make mine with Ketchup and liquid crab boil…..

This was my last Christmas mani, my pretties. And I decided to go untraditional and use pink. YES, PINK! Tell me what you think. Colors and swatches all listed below... and you know the nail art is all done with tiny brushes I personally find at Michaels and acrylic paints from the crafts store. One day I want to invest in real honest to goodness nail art brushes. Alas....
The flash really makes that pink glow, right???4
Here are pics in daylight.
Happy Polishing!

HP last week announced it was officially changing the name of EDS, which it acquired last year, to HP Enterprise Services. According to an HP announcement, it "marks the next major step in a year-long integration of EDS into HP and emphasizes the growing global role of enterprise technology services in HP's portfolio."
There seems little doubt as to the overall "growing global role of enterprise technology services," based on two deals that bookended HP's announcement. A few days beforehand, Dell said it was buying Perot Systems. Now this week, Xerox revealed its plans to purchase Affiliated Computer Services.
Hardware traditionally has tighter margins than services, and in a down economy, the hardware business tends to suffer more quickly and in larger measures than services. So these purchases should help protect the acquirers from economic bumps by diversifying their businesses. As IT Business Edge's Mike Vizard noted last week, HP and Dell (and now Xerox) are trying to follow the lead of IBM, which effectively transitioned itself from being a hardware company to a services company. If a company like IBM or HP helps IT organizations revamp their processes, chances are good that they'll sell some hardware and software as well. Writes Vizard:
What's really happening here is that technology vendors have collectively become tired of waiting for customers to figure out how to become more efficient using IT. Instead, they are investing massive amounts of money in services organizations whose primary mission is to drive IT-enabled change that in turn will drive more product sales.
The consolidation is a sign of an intensely competitive industry and one that has undergone a major shift in the past decade, said Mark Mayo, an analyst at outsourcing advisory company TPI, when I spoke with him on Friday. Before Y2K, competition for services deals was largely confined to IBM, EDS, ACS and CSC, he told me. Following Y2K, services providers from Europe (T-Systems and Capgemini) and Asia (Wipro, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services) emerged, effectively transforming what had been mostly a North American services market into a global one. In fairly short order, the Indian companiesbegan taking market share from the so-called Big Six: HP, Accenture, IBM, EDS, ACS and CSC.
More acquisitions are coming in the services industry, predicts Mayo. He's not the only one. Plenty of other observers (including me) thought HP's purchase of EDS would trigger similar buys. Mayo thinks both multinationals and up-and-comers like the Indian companies will be shopping for services firms that serve attractive verticals. Few verticals are more attractive right now than health care, which may help explain the Dell and Xerox acquisitions. Both Perot Systems and ACS possess deep health care expertise, and health care is a bright spot in otherwise sluggish IT spending forecasts.

The VT50 was a CRT-based computer terminal produced by Digital Equipment Corporation introduced in July 1974. It provided a display with 12 rows and 80 columns of upper-case text, and used an expanded set of control characters and forward-only scrolling based on the earlier VT05. The VT50 was sold only for a short period before it was replaced by the VT52 in September 1975.[1] The VT52 provided a screen of 24 rows and 80 columns of text and supported all 95 ASCII characters as well as 32 graphics characters, bi-directional scrolling, and an expanded control character system.
Both models supported asynchronous communication at baud rates up to 9600 bits per second and did not require any fill characters. The terminal also introduced a separate function keypad that allowed "Gold Key" editing (as exemplified by WPS-8, KED, and EDT). They also offered an optional hard-copy device called an electrolytic copier, which fit into the blank panel on the right side of the display. This device was able to print, scan-line by scan-line, an exact replica of the screen onto a roll of paper that was saturated with salty water. It did this by electroplating metal from an electrode into the paper. While it did an admirable job of capturing the contents of the screen, the output of the copier had an unfortunate resemblance to wet toilet tissue.[2][3] Digital patented the innovation of having a single character generator provide the text font for both screen and copier.
The VT50 was the first terminal Digital produced in this cabinet. It provided only 12 lines of text (leading some users to object to the "double-spacing") and, like the predecessor VT05, did not support lowercase letters. Computer users of that era used coding in the rare instance that they needed lowercase text. Opinion differed as to whether the VT50 was to be a dry run for the engineers or a lucrative product. The introduction of the VT52, and its support of lowercase text on the screen and scrolling both upward and downward, enabled WYSIWYG ("What you see is what you get") text editing.
The large size of the cabinet was deliberate, to avoid a cooling fan. The two circuit boards with processor and memory at the base of the terminal, and a single board with power-supply and monitor electronics at the rear, were cooled by convection. The large, flat top of the terminal frequently accommodated large volumes of DEC documentation.
These terminals used a primitive, custom central processing unit built from small-scale-integration integrated circuits. It was so basic that addition and subtraction could only be done by repeatedly incrementing or decrementing two registers, and only while a raster scan was not in progress. Moreover, the time taken by such a program loop had to be nearly constant, or text lower on the screen would be displayed in the wrong place during that refresh. Display of text was not done under microprogram control; the microprogram activated separate hardware to take exclusive access to screen memory and waited until a line of pixels was complete.
The VT52 became a platform on which Digital built several related devices. The VT55 incorporated an add-on graphics system that was capable of displaying two mathematical functions or histograms.
The VT61 and VT62 were block-mode terminals. The VT62 was to be used in conjunction with TRAX, a transaction processing operating system on high-end PDP-11's. They used the same cabinet but had a more complete custom processor. Application-specific behavior was coded in separate PROM memory, using a separate instruction code that the processor interpreted. This unpublished language was to be used to easily develop additional models specific to single Digital marketing organizations. These terminals synthesized a "tock" sound on a speaker for feedback when a key was pressed, whereas the VT5x activated a relay. The relay was also used as a buzzer to sound the bell character, producing a sound that "has been compared to the sound of a '52 Chevy stripping its gears."[4] Though the keyboards were identical, VT6x users admired the superior "feel."
The VT78 added to the VT52 a single-chip PDP-8 processor, on which was programmed WPS-8, Digital's word processing system. This model was not a terminal to use to communicate with a computer, but a complete, stand-alone system. Whereas the VT50 was developed in the era before it was common to apply computers to text, the VT78 was a product designed for that application.
The VT52 family was followed by the much more sophisticated VT100.
