Motorola V535 / V545 / V550 / E550
Info Photos News Forum 22 Reviews
Average Ratings
I didn't think it was possible to make a worse phone than the v400, but Motorola has exceeded themselves in making another lousy phone. I had to replace the 400 three times until Cingular finally admitted that it had so many defects they had pulled it off the market. They replaced it with the 551. What an absolute joke. Sound volume is too low to hear other than in a closet and is garbled. Reception is the worst of any of the 20 or so phones I've had. As an experiment, I took my old Nokia 3100 into spots where the 551 would absolutely not work-no bars. The Nokia consistently had 3-5 bars in the same areas with perfect reception. Avoid this phone at all costs, even if someone pays you to use it. I've complained so much to Cingular they're allowing me to upgrade to another phone free.
It's really too bad because this phone has some really great features. Unfortunately, most don't work very well.
I'll never touch another Motorola product again. I guess this is what one could expect from a near bankrupt company.
Rating -5
Motorola V551
This phone has some nice features but as I use it for the Cingular network basic performance is unacceptable.
Great speaker phone
Camera is ok
Can't hear on mic unless other person is on land line
Menu commands are awkward
Dropped calls
Hard to switch callers when two call in
Really, the problem may be with Cingular so if you can use this phone with another carrier it might be worth a try.

Better Phone Out There
I purchased the Motorola V551 about 2 1/2 weeks ago at a Cingular dealer. So far, I have been very happy with its performance and ease of use, here are the pros and cons:
- Good gripping surfaces
- Easy to use menus
- Camera and Video Recorders
- Screen not to hard to see in light
- Easy to flip open with one hand
- Excellent speaker phone
- Well built and very sturdy
- Good reception
- Battery life when talking is terrible
- Does not support some ringtones or games
- No easy way to access internet
- Camera pics not the best quility
- Phonebook with no address capability
Ease of use: 9/10
Functionality: 8.5/10
Cost: 9/10
Service and Range: 9/10
Who should buy it: People looking for a good quality phone and people who work in places where things could get broken. Also, the gaming on this phone is quite good so if you like playing games when you get bored at work then you will like this phone alot. Buisnessmen and women would should also have some interest in this phone because it is easy and fast to use and find things that you need such as dates and phone numbers.
Final Thoughts
Overall, with all the features that Motorola packed into this phone, I think that they did an excellent job on it. It definitily beats out the V600 because it has "more bang for the buck", or in other words, more stuff.
This Phone gets Two Thumbs down
This phone is horrible things that make this phone horrible is alot of functions lol..........
1. It drops calls while your own the phone
2. The ring tones are low
3. The camera does not focus good unless u sit still for like 10secs so this means u cant take pictures while in motion
4. The phones freezes when u go thru the menu too fast
5. It keeps saying the sim card is not inserted
6. The Video recorder is not that clear unless u are close
The Only good thing about this phone is the design
This is my second v551 in a year and again the display screen has disappeared. This is very inconvenient and aggravating. I'm unable to look at any thing I canât see who is calling and worst of all I canât access my phone book. "So the new and approved" as they say v557 is in route to my home. We shale see. Ill keep you all posted.
it aight....
i've had this phone for 1 year.never really had a problem with it.the camera thou could be better.sound quality could be better. Pros...1. good colour,2.has a nice shape,3.has good reception. Cons.when u take a pic with the phone it looks clean and clear but when you save the pic and view it,it looks like mess.the only time it looks good again is when u put it as your background.....but on the whole its an alrite phone...
Compaired to the v600
This phones beats the v600 handsdown. At a cheaper price point in Canada. $400 compaired to the V600 starting at $650. More features like video capture, skins. Very stylish as well, both have a very nice look to them, at that point its your personal preference. I think that if your looking at either one, the choice is still yours, but my recomendation goes to the v551 (Rogers Wireless version) Check it out as soon as you can.
Great Value for Money
My Moto V550 has now been in constant use for nearly 5 months, and performance has been faultless. No âhangsâ, no dropped calls, and reception in areas where my previous Samsung handset couldnât find a signal. I live in a hilly country area, notorious for poor cellphone reception, but have had no problems. The phone is on Vodafone NZ.
I like the V550 because it has clear and adequately loud voice reception, a great choice of ring and alarm/reminder tones, user-friendly menus, a good email system, and a decent degree of owner-configurability. The screen is bright and clear, and even a newbie-texter like me can manage the buttons well. The personal information management tools are a real plus for me â I use the calendar and reminders a lot, to augment a poor memory!!
The camera is adequate for capturing exactly the size of image which is easily sent as an email attachment, or MMS. Bearing in mind its miniscule lens, it does OK!
The phone feels well built, and solid in the hand, with no sloppiness or Razr-type creaks and groans. I can easily operate it one-handed when required, and the speakerphone is a great help when I need both hands for other things, like pen and coffee. Battery life is good on stand-by, but goes down pretty quickly when talking or surfing. Gaming doesnât seem to affect it as much, though.
I have loaded a few useful apps, by far the best of which is a full-internet browser, âOpera Miniâ. This superb and completely FREE piece of software allows you to visit ANY webpage, not just WAP accessible ones. Look for it at www.mini.opera.com.
My only minor grumbles about the V550 are its modest memory â a card-slot wouldâve been nice â and the button layout for âanswerâ and âhang-upâ should be reversed.
So in terms of bang-for-your-buck, I reckon the V550 makes pretty good sense. It may not have the bells and whistles of a Jasjar, or the sex-appeal of a Razr, but neither has it the prices of those devices. You gets what you pays for!
Decent phone for price
I've had the v551 with cingular for over a month now and I've loved the phone for the most part. It has a great speakerphone and also a fair camera. The only two complaints I've had is that sometimes the phone reads "insert sim" out of the blue. It could be the sim card though. And also the video recorder is not the greatest: it's sort of frame by frame. Other than that..the phones great! God bless
I am very pleased with the new features on the V551. I've carried the v600, 400, and the 505 and this by far is the best. I like the video application and the 4x zoom, allows for clearer pictures. Bluetooth application is fairly easy to use. I also like the (blue) grips, it makes it easier to hold onto. Lets not forget the price. More phone then the V600 for a lower price. Only change I would make would be to add an SD slot. Good job Motorola.

Glad Annie had fun that night, I am quite sure that actually was a ghosot I saw in that window...

Oh My Word...
That is one CUTE costume...not to mention the little cherub inside. We lived out in the country, when I was of trick or treating age, and pretty much threw together whatever we could find, 20 minutes before we had to go...needless to say I was never "Bo~Peep". Still came home with FAR too much candy...so much FUN...xoxo...Rosie

What a great costume! You guys are going to have so much fun. We're reusing the costume from last year (we bought it a size or two big, just for that reason) but after this year I'm not sure exactly what we'll do. What are the boys going as?

Love this! She looks adorable! ;0) My son wants to be a baseball player this year, so I just have to reach in his closet and pull out last year's uniform. Doesn't get easier than that? My teenage daughter wants to be a gangsta (so not her personality), so enjoy Little Bo Peep for as long as you can! ;0)

Annie is the prettiest little peep I ever did see. My 15 year old and two of his friends dressed as preppies today but all of high school thought they were the Jonas Brothers. My 12 year old dresses up on Sunday and still hasn't figured out what he's gonna. I think making do with what you've got always makes the best costumes. :) Have a great rest of the week. Tammy

I'm not usually thrilled with the work featured at apartment galleries, but Meredith Cristal's Fifty09 Gallery in South City had been getting a lot of buzz so I thought I would make an exception. This month was to feature the show "A Look at Who's Talking Now: a study of American Anthropomorphism" featuring the work of Brittany Boynton and Julie Rechtien in their collaborative debut.
As I walk in I see a plant with a word bubble. I am underwhelmed, but intrigued. As I get a decent look around at the gallery I immediately notice the vast array of mixed media. It seems to me that the pieces were intended to look as if they were completed by a variety of people interested in the world of Anthropomorphism, though it was clearly all created by Boynton and Rechtien.
I am prompted to think about the absurdity of American elections as I view the wall commemorating the fictional feud "Babe vs. Gordy", with "vintage" pins from the race and transcripts of slander from one pig to another. The oil paintings that seem to nearly worship great moments of Hollywood Anthopromorphism (Frank the Pug, the sperm scene from 'Look Who's Talking') provoke thoughts about the state of American Cinema and celebrity. The small drawings of animals conversing about typical and atypical human things raise questions like, "why do we assume animals want similar things as us?" and "are we human or are we dancer?"
As I finally make my way over to the baby monitor projecting Bruce Willis's freak out from Pulp Fiction I can't help but start to wonder if these girls simply have a sick obsession with pop culture and especially the Look Who's Talking franchise (ed note: get buttons here) in which Bruce Willis voices baby Mikey, Kirstie Alley stars as Mikey's mother Mollie who has to find her way as a single mom in NYC betrayed by her wealthy ex-lover just when you think things couldn't get any worse she goes into labor with no choice but to hitch a ride to the hospital with crude, wise-cracking (but pretty cute ;)) taxi-driver James (John Travolta) who ends up having to be IN THE DELIVERY ROOM while little Mikey is born and from that moment on it's nonstop laughs to be enjoyed by all as Mikey learns about his new world and Mollie & James learn about themselves.
P.s. Brittany and Julie are the most groundbreaking artists I've seen since 2000.
Words by Dana Hughes, celebrated art critic.

I'm delighted that my paper on clause analysis has been accepted for publication in political analysis. See below for the published article, and see the github page for the rsyntax software.
Clause analysis: Using syntactic information to automatically extract source, subject, and predicate from texts with an application to the 2008-2009 Gaza War
Wouter van Atteveldt Tamir Sheafer, Shaul R. Shenhav, and Yair Fogel-Dror
Abstract: This article presents a new method and open source R package that uses syntactic information to automatically extract source–subject–predicate clauses. This improves on frequency based text analysis methods by dividing text into predicates with an identified subject and optional source, extracting the statements and actions of (political) actors as mentioned in the text. The content of these predicates can be analyzed using existing frequency based methods, allowing for the analysis of actions, issue positions and framing by different actors within a single text. We show that a small set of syntactic patterns can extract clauses and identify quotes with good accuracy, significantly outperforming a baseline system based on word order. Taking the 2008–2009 Gaza war as an example, we further show how corpus comparison and semantic network analysis applied to the results of the clause analysis can show differences in citation and framing patterns between U.S. and English-language Chinese coverage of this war.

Scene in the 2nd Defile [of the Irrawaddy], a fishing craft
Photographer: Watts and Skeen
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1895
Photograph from the Curzon Collection taken by Watts and Skeen in the 1890s in Burma (Myanmar), with a view of a fishing boat and a small sampan moored on the banks of the Irrawaddy River in the Second Defile. The nets of the fishing boat are supported on a mast-like wooden framework. The Irrawaddy (or Ayeyarwady), flows south from its source in the mountainous north of Burma (Myanmar) through a series of defiles or narrow gorges, and the Second Defile is at Sinkan, south of Bhamo, in the country's most northerly state of Kachin. It is shorter and not so constricted as the river's other defiles, with its narrowest stretch over 100 metres wide. This view shows the imposing scenery of forested hills rising from the riverbanks, and the relatively calm current.

Are Boise State's BCS Hopes Done?
For Boise State to even have a shot at receiving a bid to one of the BCS bowls, they need Houston to lose. Houston right now is in 11th in the BCS standings so they will qualify for the BCS if they win out because in order to qualify for a BCS bid for a non qualifier, they must finish in the top 12 in the final BCS standings. So Houston is safely in if they win out. But if Houston loses, which is certainly possible hosting SMU and Gameday, heading to Tulsa, and in all likelihood playing Southern Miss in the championship game, that opens the door for Boise. There's no chance at all of there being two non qualifying BCS clubs this year so Houston must lose. And Boise needs to win the Mountain West so they need TCU to lose once. Not likely, but possible.
Obviously Boise also has to win out but it depends how far they fall after this loss to a good TCU club. Granted I highly doubt they would fall so far that if they won out they still wouldn't be in the top 12 of the BCS standings anyways but it would be assured if Houston were to lose. So you gotta believe that Chris Peterson and crew will be rooting for the Cowboys, Golden Hurricane and possibly the Golden Eagles down the stretch.

After seeing the photo above, one of the first things that comes to mind is whether Dwyane Wade's ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches is homeless or just trying to make the Miami Heat superstar look bad.
The photo of Funches, with a sign saying, among other things that she is an ex-wife of a "Miami Heat star" who's now "on the street," was first published on Friday by sports website Deadspin.
If you've followed our reports on Wade and Funches' divorce battles over the last several years, you know it's been contentious, to say the least, between the two high school sweethearts. They even battled over custody of their two sons and they now live with Wade.
But before that happened, Funches was awarded a $1 million lump sum and $25,000 per month for child support.
Quite frankly Siohvaughn Funches has a rep for acting crazy. During the divorce proceeding, TMZ reported she parted ways with nine attorneys.
Friday's meltdown comes days after Funches dropped a lawsuit that alleged Wade owed her at least $1 million. The Chicago Tribune reported Funches filed a voluntary dismissal order Tuesday.
Check out some of Funches' post-split interviews here.

In addition to unanimously approving Jimmy Haslam as the new owner of the Cleveland Browns, NFL owners also approved a measure to create a three-day window prior to free agency to legally tamper with pending free agents.
As they say where I'm from, bless their hearts.
The league has always turned a mostly blind eye toward the reality of the situation, in which agents for free agents are talking to other teams as soon as the season ends — if not earlier.
The scouting combine is a de facto swap meet, with agents taking the temperature of general managers and vice versa. In fact, many personnel men regard the exchange of information in hotel lobbies and Indianapolis bars as important as the 40 times and heights and weights of prospects that are harvested there.
All the league is doing with this measure is legislating to a small degree what's been going on to a large degree since the day free agency was born.
If it makes them feel better, then that's just swell.
Because all their three-day window is really doing is creating the impression that the three-minute deals that are struck as soon as the free agent season opens are above board.

Origin clash Queensland may lose
Opinion Piece
17 June 2015
Courier Mail
There is one State of Origin clash which Queensland is at risk of losing, and badly if action isn't taken.
Infrastructure investment and construction in New South Wales is booming, with more than $32 billion of major transport projects underway or about to start. This massive pipeline of works will create thousands of jobs, slash travel times for motorists and cement Sydney's position as a global economic powerhouse. This is no fluke, but rather the product of all levels of government working with the private sector to deliver the infrastructure New South Wales needs for a stronger and more prosperous future.
Meanwhile north of the border, almost six months after the state election, we still have no plans from the Palaszczuk Government on what their long term infrastructure priorities are to help build Queensland's economic capacity. In fact, despite all their rhetoric on public transport, their first action in government was to abandon the Bus and Train Tunnel, a $5 billion public transport project. This inertia cannot continue.
Last year the Australian Government delivered the biggest infrastructure investment in Queensland's history to build world class projects like the multi-billion dollar Bruce Highway upgrade, the Gateway Motorway North and the Toowoomba Bypass. These projects are progressing quickly and will support thousands of new jobs, but as highlighted by Infrastructure Australia's audit of our national infrastructure, we need to build more.
According to the audit, Queensland's population is projected to grow by 2 million and traffic congestion will cost the economy a staggering $9 billion annually by 2031. This unprecedented growth will place huge pressure on the state's transport networks with average road speeds and travel reliability declining by over 25 percent if nothing is done.
The Australian Government is ready to invest in more nationally significant infrastructure for Queensland, but we cannot fund vague aspirations. The Queensland Government needs to provide us with a credible pipeline of well-planned projects that can be assessed by Infrastructure Australia for future funding consideration. They must also look at other revenue sources like reinvigorating their asset base to unlock greater investment in world class projects.
Infrastructure Australia's audit shows that federal and state governments alone cannot fund the infrastructure we need to prosper into the future. We must increasingly involve the private sector to meet this critical gap. That is why the Queensland Government needs to consider taking advantage of our $5 billion Asset Recycling Initiative and sell or lease mature assets to build new productive infrastructure, including public transport. Â
The fifteen percent bonus payment that would be paid to Queensland from the Asset Recycling Initiative would unlock hundreds of millions of dollars, if not more, in additional revenue to be reinvested into building better infrastructure for all Queenslanders. New South Wales will receive an extra $2 billion from the Australian Government by leasing mature assets and reinvesting the proceeds into game changing infrastructure. That's enough to fund the second stage of the Gold Coast light rail project three times over.
With Queensland's debt at $80 billion and an annual interest bill of $4 billion, simply borrowing billions of dollars to meet the infrastructure back-log and increasing taxes to pay for it is not an option. Sadly this appears to be the direction Labor is heading, which will be disastrous for the state's future.
As it stands, Queensland is at risk of grinding to a halt and being left in New South Wales' wake as billions of investment dollars continue to flow south to Sydney's infrastructure market while city-transforming projects like the Brisbane Cross River Rail remain in limbo. It's time for the Palaszczuk Government to reconsider its antiquated views on infrastructure funding through asset recycling and work with the Australian Government to build a stronger future for Queensland.
Later this year we will release Infrastructure Australia's 15 year plan which will outline the pipeline of infrastructure priorities we need to address as a nation. I encourage the Queensland Government and anyone who's interested to work with Infrastructure Australia on the development of this plan.
We can no longer afford to be complacent about building for our future. Industry needs the work and commuters want the infrastructure. The Australian Government is ready to deliver both.


text: Okay. Right now my new 4 string spector euro is buzzing on the e string at a number of the lower frets. I'm attributing this to the fact that the bass came with a .95 guage string, which I promptly switched to a 1.00, and this string is also detuned to D, as this is how I play. It also buzzes a bit on the a string (actually tuned to A) on the lower frets. Now my options are: 1. Take the bass to a tech and let him (or her) handle it. Now this is the easiest option, but I am a bit unsure about taking it to guitar center (where I bought it) for a setup, because I don't know if I trust them. does anyone know of a good tech guy in the eastern Long Island, New York area? Possibly with prior knowledge of Spector basses? this might influence my decision. 2. Do the work myself. It is obvious that this bridge is a bit different from conventional bridges, but I read about a few successful adjustments in other posts on this forum. I think this is how I would approach it (please correct me if I am wrong): First thing would be to lower each of the four saddles all the way, because they may be a bit crooked right now and this would give me an even plane to begin with. Then, adjust each set screw evenly until the action is high enough to where I like to play. Then, loosen the set screw on the bridge facing the electronics, and adjust saddles (by pushing with fingers?) so intonation is correct (might need advice on this). Next, check for buzzing on any frets, then raise action accordingly, which would entail setting intonation again afterwards, I suppose. Then, if I still can't relieve buzzing, begin to adjust truss rod and see if that is the culprit. Are these the correct actions/sequences that I should take? Anyone done something similar? Anyone set intonation to low D on a Spector Euro? thank you in advance for any and all replies. Jay

today i changed the timing belt on my 3.0...ican tell you this was quite a learning experience not to difficult just alot of steps and the tensioner install went fairly well..after everything was put back together put a new drive belt on and new power steering belt did the fire up....must say i was very nervous but she purred like a kitten..then my only issue arous. after we shut it off checked belt tension went to start it back up it started then died immediatly after... so after checking connections that were unplugged and starting it about 20 times it finally ran.. seems to have a high idle at first startup..now i had the battery disconnected i know our cars are learning computers is this a normal issue after timing belt change..ir iac issues
any thoughts from anyone would be wonderful.. plan on cleaning the throttle body and iac valve tommorrow

North American Hunter- Winter 2014
Hunting Calories During The Offseason
Targeting your heart rate will allow you to more accurately target more fat, and a lean hunter can go farther and hunt harder.
In the Winter 2014 issue of North American Hunter Magazine, my latest article discusses how you as a hunter can cover more miles and increase your hunting opportunities with cardiovascular training. A stronger heart and lungs allow you to travel farther-faster-and leave you with shorter recovery times, which equates to more sets and calling more predators.

In this post, I'll not talk about Limmat, but about another ongoing project at our company Oberon microsystems. Unlike Limmat, this project has nothing to do with the Industrial Internet of Things, but with the Consumer Internet of Things. It has to do with Apple's attempt at cracking the home automation market.
About 15 years ago, a manager at a company that produces thermostats for commercial buildings told me that, according to market researchers, the take-off for the home automation market is predicted to happen in five years. And had been predicted to happen in five years, for many years. He wasn't optimistic that this would change anytime soon. Indeed, the expected explosive growth of the home automation market (beyond enthusiasts and makers) has remained five years in the future.
This might finally change. If anyone appears able to put all the necessary ducks in a row (user experience, technology, "systems thinking", ecosystem, marketing power), then it is Apple. About a
year ago Apple announced its HomeKit initiative, which is aimed at creating an Apple ecosystem for home automation.
Today, you cannot buy any HomeKit-compliant devices yet, but various prototypes have been shown at this year's CES. From start-ups to established companies such as Philips, interest in
HomeKit appears to be rising quickly.
We got into HomeKit by accident. As you may know, we have been doing Internet of Things projects for longer than the term even exists. For a broader adoption of IoT, security
concerns are arguably the main hurdle. Thus, security for embedded systems has always been of great interest for us, and we've been monitoring what was going on in the crypto community
over a long time. Several years ago, we became particularly interested in a high-quality library for elliptic curve cryptography called NaCl (prononounced "salt"), developed by Dan Bernstein,
Tanja Lange and Peter Schwabe. It has excellent cryptographic properties and seemed promising for microcontrollers, even though originally designed for much faster microprocessors.
We ported a public domain implementation of NaCl to single-chip microcontrollers (STM32F4 chips with Cortex-M4F cores). The result was reasonably fast, but we saw a way to greatly
optimize performance even further, by applying suitable algorithmic transformations and by reimplementing critical parts in assembly language. We then made experiments with these optimizations
and found a speed-up of up to a factor 30, depending e.g. on the length of the encrypted messages.
We've used our fast NaCl library for implementing a secure firmware update mechanism for Limmat, where firmware images are encrypted and signed. Distribution of the images can
happen in any way, e.g. using Microsoft Azure table storage or even USB sticks sent via snail mail.
Then at WWDC 2014 Apple announced HomeKit. And guess what? Apple uses a variation of NaCl as the crypto suite for the HomeKit Accessory Protocol (HAP). HAP is highly
interesting in that it provides end-to-end security even all the way to inexpensive sensors (not just to gateways), bidirectional authentication and perfect forward secrecy. (Compare this to
industrial infrastructures, where sending plaintext passwords is all too often still considered state-of-the-art...)
So we studied the HAP protocol, talked to a number of chip vendors about their interest in HomeKit, and then decided to modify our crypto library according to the Apple specifications.
We added the missing algorithms and implemented the actual protocol itself.
An introduction to HomeKit can be found on Apple's HomeKit developer site. A description of the security aspects of HomeKit is given in the iOS Security Guide. For the detailed specifications, you need to register with Apple's MFi program.
Today we have implementations for ARM Cortex-M3, M4, M4F and even the much lower-performance M0/M0+ cores. Some key performance numbers that we achieved are given in the following table:
at 16 MHz
at 72 MHz
at 168 MHz
at 168 MHz
Opening a session
1336 ms
153 ms
27 ms
25 ms
Encrypting a
256 byte message
2.36 ms
0.3 ms
0.1 ms
0.1 ms
Encrypting a
4096 byte message
32.34 ms
4.1 ms
1.4 ms
1.3 ms
Some of these numbers have been measured on actual hardware, some of them have been obtained by running the code in the Keil simulator. All numbers assume zero wait states. The numbers are only
for the cryptographic parts; the time spent in a communication stack is not included.
While the exact numbers depend on the core and the chosen space/time tradeoffs, our OberonHAP library generally uses less than 32 KB of code and less than 24 KB
of RAM.
Apple defines HAP variants for both Internet Protocols (IP) and Bluetooth Smart (BLE). While our OberonHAP implementation is suitable and attractive for both variants, its high speed is
particularly interesting for BLE accessories, as these are usually slower (because lower-cost, but also because drawing less battery power). Everyone else in the industry seems to have focused on
HAP over WiFi, while our focus was to make HAP practical even over BLE.
To demonstrate OberonHAP, we have created a proof-of-concept using a Segger board that contains a Nordic nRF51 chip, which integrates a 16 MHz Cortex-M0
core with a BLE radio. This is about the lowest-end processor core with which HomeKit can realistically be used. In addition to our OberonHAP library, the demo required the
interfacing of the library to Nordic's BLE stack, to flash memory for storing keys, and to Apple's MFi authentication chip - and of course the main program that implements one of Apple's
predefined HomeKit profiles. As you can see, an iPod Touch is used to control a door lock via HomeKit and BLE.
The above high-definition video has no sound, but you can still see how we use Siri to open and close the door lock through speech commands.
The following video - with sound - shows a demonstration of the light bulb profile, using a simple app we've written for this purpose:
OberonHAP is now ready for licensing. We license the library to vendors of BLE or WiFi chips and modules, to BLE stack vendors, and to consumer electronics companies who want to have
full control over their HomeKit software. If you are interested in such a license, you can contact me at email@example.com.
If you need a HomeKit implementation for a microcontroller not based on a Cortex-M core, we can offer to port our code to your microcontroller's instruction set architecture.
If you are interested in higher-level libraries, tool support, development of custom HomeKit accessories or bridges, we can offer suitable engineering services.
The strong security properties of HomeKit could also show the way towards better wireless security for the Industrial Internet of Things. HAP is a relatively simple and
efficient protocol, yet there would still be room for performance improvements and a footprint reduction, by making some design decisions better suited for microcontrollers. Maybe someone is
interested in developing a protocol similar to HAP, but for industrial use cases? If so, please let me know.
Cuno Pfister, Oberon microsystems AG
There is now an official home page for OberonHAP: http://oberonhap.com.
I'm an end user an wondering if I can buy a complete solution somewhere already or is this all just proof-of-concept and you have no-one that's implemented this in a product yet?
Also I'm interested in how an end user would set this up... Say I want to control my Kitchen LED lights with this, how does the hardware connect to the internet for Siri commands to come back from Apple to the device? Do I need an Apple TV to act as a hub for me to issue commands when away from my house? Does this connect via Bluetooth LE to the apple TV or directly to my iPhone? If directly to my iPhone, I presume I always have to be within 20feet of the kitchen to control the lights, no?
Sorry for all the rookie questions.
@ Mark F: I don't think you can buy *any* HomeKit-compatible devices yet. Some devices have been announced but are not shipping yet, others are shipping but will need a later firmware update to
support HomeKit. Most are expected to use WiFi, at least initially.
So yes, it is a proof-of-concept - everything is still early days regarding HomeKit. We are in talks with potential customers, but there's nothing to announce yet.
The iPhone, or several iOS devices in a household, directly connects to the accessory devices within range (which can be more than 20 feet, but this depends highly on how the house is built and furnished).
Apple has announced that an alternate, indirect access path for remote control via Internet will also be provided. There are no public details yet for that, although most commenters seem to bet on Apple TV as gateway between Internet and the local WiFi and BLE networks.

Can we just take a second to appreciate 1D's new single? It's just sooooo good and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels better after hearing it. I was so disappointed when LWWY was released, because that song just didn't catch my attention, but this one on the other hand did *_*
Oh and they announced their European tour this morning! They are coming to Denmark twice! I'm so happy, but now I'm stressing over the tickets D: They'll cost me a fortune, but idc I wanna see them so bad! I've arranged with mom to help me with buying the tickets, so we're gonna sit on two laptops, trying to get tickets on Monday XD

Meet The Can Van. A mobile canning service to assist small craft breweries change the way they deliver their product to beer lovers everywhere. Sit back and crack open our interview with Co-Founders Jenn Coyle Catalano and Lindsey Herrema of The Can Van.
Canning has become a popular way for breweries to deliver their craft beer to its many fans in the US. Breweries such as Avery Brewing Co, Sierra Nevada, 21st Amendment, Maui Brewing Co and even our own local Monkey Paw Brewing Co have all starting canning their delicious beers. Some breweries such as Oskar Blues have always been in the canned craft beer game. Why should craft breweries make the move into the world of canned beer? Well an obvious reason could be that canned craft beer is 100% protected from sunlight and oxygen, preserving the beers freshness and taste. One could also say that cans are much more portable for the on the go beer lover, and are acceptable at locations where glass bottles might not be allowed. But did you also know that because cans are lighter in weight, it lowers shipping costs for breweries when delivering their product? According to Oskar Blues website, the ability to ship canned beer lowers their fuel costs for shipping and reduces their carbon footprint by 35%. Aluminum cans are also the one product that is 100% recyclable. OB site also states that a recycled aluminum can generates 95% less pollution than one made from scratch and requires 96% less energy. As you can see there are plenty of reasons for craft brewers to start canning their beer. So how does a small brewery get into the canned beer game? Meet The Can Van. Providing a mobile canning service for craft breweries.
The idea of The Can Van was brought to life by friends Jenn Coyle Catalano, Lindsey Herrema, Jake Blackshear, Heath Cox and Kate Drane while attending Presidio Graduate School in San Francisco. Brought together by a love for craft beer and a desire to help small local breweries, they got together and wrote a business plan during their final semester. After speaking with many local brewers, it became clear that a mobile canning service would be a great way to assist small and medium sized breweries offer their craft beer in cans. The team started raising money and purchased their mobile canning equipment in the fall of 2011. By January of 2012 they were canning for their first customer, Devil's Canyon Brewery in Belmont Ca. When called, The Can Van brings their mobile canning equipment to the small brewery and fills, seals and packages directly on site. Did you have a can of Monkey Paw Brewing Co's Rich Mans IIPA, Sweet Georgia Brown or Oatmeal Pale in recent months? Feel free to thank the team at Can Van!
Please enjoy our interview with The Can Van Co-Founders Jenn Coyle Catalano and Lindsey Herrema.
Who were you looking to serve as your key customer with your services? Are you working with the same people and businesses to this day?
We aim to serve any size brewery that would benefit from a hassle-free packaging option and who does not produce enough beer to need their own canning line in use every day. With our service the brewer does not have to spend the money to purchase their own line, or find a place to put it, or pay for additional labor to run and maintain it. We also purchase cans and lids in bulk and share materials between all our customers; this frees breweries from the headache of the large minimum order requirements from the can manufacturers.
Most breweries we work with are repeat customers. We have standing orders to come back and can on a regular basis to help them meet their distribution schedules and sales demands. Our very first customer continues to be one of our largest customer, and they project their canning orders to continue growing. We know that brewers put a lot of time and love into making their beer, and we strive to create a positive and fun experience for all involved when we can their beer.
What is the process that goes into canning a batch (large or small) or craft beer?
Our equipment is brought to the brewery in a trailer, but rolls out into the brewery to set up close to the finishing tanks. We hook directly up to the bright tank, and the beer is fed into our four fill-heads on our canning line. Cans are sanitized, purged with C02, filled, seamed, rinsed, labeled, and packed into 6-packs and cases ready for distribution.
What are some of key reasons The Can Van team prefers canning over other methods of beer storage? Why should breweries start looking to can their craft beer?
Brewers are switching to cans primarily because cans protect the taste and quality of beer better than other forms of packaging. Cans provide a complete barrier from light and oxygen, which are the main threats to beer quality over time. Cans are also much lighter than glass, making it cheaper to ship product to a broader distribution range. Consumers like the portability of cans, and are increasingly reaching for craft beer in cans when they are headed outdoors.
Did the team as a whole love craft beer when The Can Van came into existence?
Of course! A few of us are home brewers, but all of us are craft beer fans.
(If any) What breweries have you worked with in the San Diego / Southern California area?
Our first foray into canning in Southern California was for Monkey Paw in San Diego. We canned about 300 cases of their beer, and it sold out in a matter of weeks! We are in the planning stages to head down again, this time adding other breweries as well.
What are some of the teams favorite breweries? Any San Diego breweries or beers make the list?
We have so many great Northern California breweries it's impossible to choose, especially all the nano brewers in the Bay Area like Pacific Brew Labs and Pine Street Brewery who are working hard to develop new beers in tiny urban garages. We also have a special place in our heart for some far flung cans like SunKing in Indiana and Big Sky in Montana. Lots of good beers in San Diego as well, we worked with Monkey Paw down there at the beginning of May and really enjoyed their Oatmeal Pale Ale and Imperial IPA. We also like Green Flash, we get a good selection of their beers on tap around San Francisco bars.

Today, I finished reading "Social History of Deccan" by Richard M Eaton, and I am surrounded by numerous thoughts regarding the effects of quest of conquering.Having the hangover of this reading, I developed some understanding about the tensions going on in the world and how they can be handled which includes my understanding of this book.
Recently, there has been some serious tension going on in Hong Kong and in Ukraine. There is an ongoing struggle for complete democracy or right to rule their own land in many parts of the world. People in Hong Kong want to govern their own land but Chinese authority does not want to lose its control over Hong Kong as it is a major financial hub. In Ukraine, people want Crimea back from Russia as they claim it to be a part of Ukraine, but Russia argues that they did as per the wishes of the people of Crimea.
Now, myself being from a land which was ruled by Colonial powers in yesteryears , the demand of People in Hong Kong and Ukarains initially sounds OK to me, but then I look at it differently and try to understand what was achieved in the past by the conquers, and what benefit it laid for the common people of the land. I am also trying to search an answer for few questions like:
"What do the People of the Land want?"
"What do they expect from the governing authority?
"Do People of the Land get what they want after they get the right to self govern?"
"How important is it for people to get the right to self govern?"
"Is the transfer of power a permanent solution?"
These are questions which need serious attention. Reading the books about historical events provide my answer today as inconclusive, but there are also thoughts which need a lot of conditioning. My serious contemplation maybe too young and immature. One thing I am sure of, I have some thoughts about this which I want to lay on the table today.
In my opinion what I understand, these territorial tugs create some long term and some immediate effects on the people of the land. The conqueror gets some immediate benefits like the wealth of the land, feel the taste of pride, fame and power, no more enemy neighbor, safety of border from immediate threat, new trade routes for the people of the kingdom and an increase in military might. There are some long term benefits like Trade Benefits (new trade routes/new markets), new culture development, new scientific development, increase in trade, increase in revenue by increase in taxes adding wealth to the treasury.
But people are subjected to everlasting pain of loss of life and property is one of the biggest after effects of war and agitation. There is an in-numerous number of examples, throughout the cultures, ages, countries, regions that validates the fact that although the war or quest of conquering has brought immediate or long term benefits to the conqueror and his society, but he was never able to enjoy the fruits of his victory for a long period of time. There had been revolts and agitations against the victorious party from time to time in spite of his win . The reason for me to write this article is to express my concern about the culture of frequent agitation in our global society, and also, it is an effort to find an alternate solutions to avoid war, conquering, violence for the peaceful existence of all the parties on a given piece of land.
When there is a delusion of power, then the one who is most affected is the "common man". In an older time in India , there were frequent exchanges of power due to frequent invasions, in a very short period of time, like 5 years or so, which immensely affected common people. People were not affected only when a ruler from a different dynasty takes over the land but also when there is a war of succession. Now let us study the example of the family of Queen Tarabai (Maratha Clan , India).
Tarabai wanted her son to be the next ruler and he also ruled for some time and made his own policies. His nephew was in jail but when he came back he wanted to get to the throne. Some people who were against Tarabai's son conspired with her nephew to get him the throne. Now, when the nephew took the throne, he made some policies which were different from the policies of Shivaji II(Tarabai's Son).
I belong to a Hindu family, and Shivaji II ( Grand son of Shivaji) was a very famous leader of the Hindu community. After some time, Shivaji came back to the throne and the policies were changed once again. Well, this was a war of succession going on between two princes but did someone think about the common people and how there lives were affected?
Policies were made and were rejected, but no one cared about the life of common people. The people would adjust themselves to the policies of the previous king and suddenly a new king would acquire the throne and then the people would have to follow new policies proposed, or forced, by the new king.
Now there is a delusion of power going on Egypt where first the people removed Hossini Mubbarak and brought Muslim Brotherhood and now they removed them and brought a new government. The people supporting these three governments are fighting among themselves as provoked by their leaders. This has brought destruction and hatred among different societies prevailing in Egypt. What about the common people who are born on the land of Egypt by the virtue of their destiny and have a common purpose to make their ends meet and support their family. The life of common man is affected by all this frequent change of power.
I am not saying which government will be best for the people of Egypt but all I am saying is that whatever problem is going on in governance of Egypt they should solve it as soon as possible. Inducing hatred and killing will never bring their families and society a peaceful existence. The world is closer today and there will always be some community to support the weaker society. In today's time, every society has to learn to coexist and bring measures for peaceful existence. The people in power have to understand this important thing, they don't want to rule, barren land where there is no Human life, as all were dead during their accession.
Similarly, I read today about Hong Kong. The important thing that I feel are "The people ofHong Kong". In my opinion, today it is important for the government of Hong Kong to bring policies that will help the people of Hong Kong to live a Happy and Healthy lives and not show them the stick or intimidate them. It is not important at all "Who governs the Land." This is even what the agitators have to understand , every non ruling group of people cannot not demand the change of government, and on the other hand, it is the responsibility of the people in power to make sure that the policies are people friendly.
One thing I strongly believe and understand , which according to me is very important in the time when exchange of information can be viral in just a click of a button, demand of abrupt change of power is not the solution to the financial miseries of a society. Definitely change in policy and governance is required to seek new ideas and application but that should happen more peacefully and with proper and peaceful expression of mandate.
History has taught us that war and agitation only brings destruction, and once a person is dead he is of no use. Yes, metaphorically he can insight agitation in many others but what will that bring? More killing, more dead people, more member deficient families? Do we want this type of our life on this earth. Yes people want to avenge themselves. Yes I do not have answers for the people who have had miseries inflicted on them by some bad people or their enemy. My intention to write this article is not to seek an answer or the solution for the wrong done to the people and how justice could be done, and I will always feel pain for their loss, and I am not asking to ignore their pain or injustice done to the people.
The point this article want to focus, there is no good in frequent change of power, neither for the conqueror nor for the people of the land. Instead a solution should be explored to make the governance of people and society friendly. On the other hand, it is the responsibility of the people to understand that they should ask for better policies rather immediate change of government, they should ask for equal representation in the government . As there is no guarantee that the new government will stand up to their expectation. Also there are immense possibilities of backlash by the people who are not in power.

Dear PARI developers, I created a git branch 'bill-bb_field' for an attempt toward generic linear algebra. Please use --patience as in git show --patience origin/bill-bb_field to see it otherwise the diff is unreadable. It creates a black box field object: struct bb_field { GEN (*red)(void *E ,GEN); GEN (*add)(void *E ,GEN, GEN); GEN (*mul)(void *E ,GEN, GEN); GEN (*neg)(void *E ,GEN); GEN (*inv)(void *E ,GEN); int (*equal0)(GEN); GEN (*s)(void *E, long); }; this is used for linear algebra over Fp, Fq and Flxq. This is not entirely satisfactory (there is still too much boilerplate code). Maybe this could also be used by FpX_divrem etc. Cheers, Bill.

It's decided: Paris will host the 2024 Olympic Games. But this adventure is borne more by politics than sport, and we could be forgiven for asking if it is really necessary. And just how much will this mass entertainment cost the taxpayer?
Paris has beaten Los Angeles in the race to host the 2024 Olympic Games. But where are the joyous Parisians celebrating in the streets? Nowhere to be seen. Only the official figures directly involved — such as President Macron, the mayor of Paris, and the sports club directors — see this as a victory for France. Exactly what type of victory remains to be seen. Above all, the French are wondering how much the Games are going to cost them. And they're right. Every country to have hosted the Games over the last 30 years has found itself laden with ruined buildings and long-term debts. Greece is the most pertinent example to date. The country drove itself into debt to host the Games, and the former Olympic buildings are now dilapidated. This is how the Greek crisis began.
The main objective of the Olympic Games is to glorify the host nation as part of a political strategy. Tokyo welcomed the Games in 1964 to demonstrate that Japan had become a pacifistic country by rebuilding bridges with the old world 20 years after the war. South Korea followed suit in 1988 to position itself as a great nation on the global stage. Moscow's 1980 Olympics vaunted the city as the capital of a universal empire, and Beijing proved the world had to reckon with China in 2008. London hosted the Games in 2012 to remind international players that the British Empire still held a certain sway, while Rio 2016 showed that Brazil was no longer a third-world country.
So what are Paris' motivations? Many of them come down to a certain national vanity. The event's promotors are quick to remind people that the Olympics were reinvented by a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, and above all that France is still a leading economic, cultural and sporting power. Despite being told the financial benefits will be legion for the French, is anyone actually convinced? The taxpayer will inevitably have to pay a hefty check.
The only, rare Olympic Games that didn't cost the taxpayer a cent were those that were privately managed. And this has only happened in the United States; in Atlanta in 1996, in Salt Lake City in 2002, and most probably in Los Angeles in 2028. The U.S. organizers take the contemporary Olympic Games to their logical conclusion: As competitive sports have become a form of mass entertainment in which all amateurism is excluded, the management of such events may as well be handed over to entertainment and media professionals. The Los Angeles Games will be a business, managed like a business, which explains the total indifference of L.A. inhabitants to their city being chosen as host.
I have no doubt that the good sports in Paris will celebrate the Olympic Games in 2024. But after the festivities, they will wonder how to pay for it. This is how Louis XIV built the Château de Versailles — with no fixed budget, nor financial constraints. However, the king was then forced to melt down the solid silver furniture to pay for it. It is quite astounding the extent to which the long history of nations — because it repeats itself — is brimming with lessons.

Soldiers with gas masks and machine guns fire at and kill one another on a misty plain of rubble and dirt. From out of the mist, the Doctor waves his hands, snapping at the Time Lords for intercepting a transmat beam, something very dangerous. A Time Lord in black hood and cloak appears as the Doctor rants about the Time Lord's continual interference in his life. The Time Lord tells the Doctor that their people have interrupted transmat beams for a long time, a simple thing for their race. The Time Lord tells the Doctor they have something for him to do for them. The Doctor won't hear of it until the Time Lord snaps one word, "Daleks." The Doctor then says, "Tell me more." The Time Lords foresee a time when Daleks become the dominant creatures in the universe. They want the Doctor to avert their creation or affect their genetic development so that they become less aggressive creatures or if he cannot, to find one inherent weakness. The Doctor tells him one more time he will do their dirty work. He asks for the coordinates to Skaro so he can set the TARDIS to it but the Time Lord tells him, "This is Skaro." He gives the Doctor a time ring so that when his mission is finished, he can return to the TARDIS. When the Doctor looks up, the Time Lord has vanished, leaving the Doctor to yell, "Don't just disappear! What about Sarah and Harry?"

The year is 2084, and Earth is divided into two hostile blocs which eye each other suspiciously for the slightest wrong move, armed with proton missiles which could destroy all life on Earth while leaving the planet itself intact. But there are other forms of life on Earth… A Silurian battle cruiser lands near a Sea-Devil hibernation chamber near one of the human blocs' Sea Bases, and when an inquisitive probe is launched the Silurians release a "Myrka" to destroy it. The crew of the Base aren't sure how to react to the probe's destruction, as their sensors are picking up nothing but marine life. The base's temporary synch operator, Maddox, whose job it is to link to the computer in times of crisis, is unprepared for the emergency; he's only a student thrust into this position by the accidental death of the base's former synch op, Michels. Maddox's friend Karina talks him back to work, unaware that his suspicions about Michels' death are justified; the base's second-in-command and doctor, Nilson and Solow, are enemy agents who murdered Michels in order to put the unstable Maddox in a position where they can use him.
Turlough, for reasons of his own, has decided to remain aboard the TARDIS. The Doctor materializes in orbit around Earth in order to show Tegan some of her planet's future, but they are shot down by a satellite defense system and the Doctor is forced to make an emergency materialization on the Sea Base. Their encounter with the satellite having coincided with the destruction of the Base's marine probe, the Base's computer triggers what could be a missile run. Maddox is forced to synch up to the computer in preparation for what could be the first strike of the last war. The run turns out to be a simulation to test the crew's battle readiness, but the stress causes Maddox to pass out, and he is taken to the psychosurgical unit for care. With Maddox incapacitated; the Base is defenseless.
The Silurians, meanwhile, have docked with the hibernation chambers near the Sea Base, and are preparing to revive the Sea Devil patrol there. As the Silurians Scibus and Tarpok activate the revival circuits, Ichtar — the sole survivor of the Silurian Triad — waits patiently. The process will take some time, and the long period of hibernation may have caused the Sea Devils' muscles to atrophy; all they can do is wait.
The Sea Devils – Episode GuidePosted in 3rd Doctor, Classic Series, Episode Guides, Jo Grant, Jon Pertwee, Katy Manning, Sea Devils, The Master, Video Clip with tags Doctor Who, Jo Grant, Jon Pertwee, Katy Manning, Roger Delgado, Sea Devils, The Master on April 9, 2009 by Mr M
The Doctor and Jo visit the Master in his high-security prison on an island off the south coast of England and hear from the governor, Colonel Trenchard, that ships have been mysteriously disappearing at sea.
Investigating, the Doctor learns from Captain Hart, commander of a nearby Naval base, that the sinkings have centred around an abandoned sea fort. He and Jo then visit the fort and are attacked by what one of the men there terms a Sea Devil – an amphibious breed of the prehistoric creatures encountered by the Doctor shortly after his exile to Earth.
The Master, aided by a misguided Trenchard, is stealing equipment from the Naval base in order to build a machine to revive the Sea Devils from hibernation.
The Doctor takes a diving bell down to the Sea Devils' underwater base to try to encourage peace. His efforts are frustrated by a depth charge attack ordered by a pompous politician, Walker, but in the confusion he manages to free a captured submarine and escape back to the surface.
The Sea Devils then capture the Naval base, and the Master has the Doctor taken back to their control centre, where he forces him to help finish the machine. The Doctor sabotages the machine and the two Time Lords escape together just as the base is destroyed in an explosion.

obsessed.: Twilight
I've met some of the greatest friends in my life through this obsession. And although there are times where I've questioned my own sanity for loving such books, I still love them. And I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Today's obsessed. is in honor of the midnight release of the movie version of my favorite book in the series.
Tonight's plans include a third-annual pre-premiere party and then a midnight showing in a theater full of rabid fans.
Can't wait.
4 comments:
Also going to a midnight showing! Only two hours to go! :)ReplyDelete
Hope you had a great time! I've still got a few more hours to wait. :)ReplyDelete
There really is something about those books that are a little addictive.ReplyDelete
Silly enough I read the first book after seeing Twilight themed crafts on a website called Craftster.org.
I didn't make it to the midnight show, but I plan on seeing this week.
Also, have you read Meyers other book, The Host? Its equally fantastic.
Silvana-Actually, Craftster led me to your blog. (I loved your wedding shoes!) And, I think we were in a Twilight swap together a while back. I'm idignerfherders on the site. :)ReplyDelete
I hope you enjoy Eclipse as much as I did. They just keep getting better with the movies. Although I might be biased; Eclipse is my fav. of the books.
The Host is great. I'd love to see more from that set of characters.
