Facebook's Voice Chat: Not Ready for Prime Time
Now that Facebook has created a transformative niche in the world, and yes, even played a part in changing the history of nations, they're looking for new ways to be in our lives.
To this end, it seems that they're in "catch up mode" with innovative companies like Skype and GroupOn.
Recently, software provider Bobsled and T-Mobile launched a voice chat service (VOIP) on Facebook that was designed to convert quick-fingered chatting via text to actual conversations by voice on the chat channel.
Being an early adopter, I immediately downloaded their software into my computer (it's not yet available on smartphones or tablets), and got a friend to do the same.
After repeated emails back and forth to confirm that we were each configured properly, and reloaded the software more than once, I was able to actually talk with my friend via Facebook.
This would be amazing and innovative but for the fact there were about 2 man hours involved in setting it up to work, and when it did, we each had an echo on our lines and a lot of static. And guess what? It's not like there wasn't a telephone or cell phone anywhere near either of us. I could have just as easily dialed my friend's phone number and merrily talked away the hours instead of fiddling with software that didn't work properly. And I won't even go into the details of the "voice mail" on Facebook; clearly it was not working properly.
It seems that there have been enough complaints, mine included, that Bobsled's app and the T-Mobile service has been removed from Facebook chat under the guise that it wasn't properly authorized by Facebook.
T-Mobile's Facebook statement reads: ""We are voluntarily and temporarily suspending the Bobsled service as we work with our partners at Facebook to address their design questions, including working to ensure that the Bobsled experience is clearly differentiated and is not mistaken for a Facebook created property. We apologize to our customers for this temporary disruption in service."
Enough said, at least without using a telephone.

Wonderful Oasis among the Chaos of the Casino
Posted Sep 25, 2013 on Hotels.comThe new Nobu Tower is an excellent place to stay at Caesars. It is centrally located and the rooms are well appointed. It is a nice break from the hustle and bustle that is in the rest of the property.
by A verified traveler
just ok
Posted Sep 11, 2013Pros: the bathrooms were nice.
Cons: the lobby and front desk staff weren't the greatest.
Location: Nobu restaurant was awesome.
I love the nobu restaurants so was hoping for that "high end" experience. it was just ok. its a boutique hotel inside of ceasars palace. our view was rooftop air conditioning units and construction workers. It wasn't bad and it wasn't great just ok.

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars June 18, 2012
I personally love minecraft animations~ some of them are shitty i must admit.. but not all of them. The thing i really cant stand is the type of people who have the nerv to run around telling people there stupid for making animations about stuff they like! yea thats right... i went there~ :V
Anyway.. other than the pathetic attempt to make minecraft fans stop animating childish humar. This animation was great~ so im not going to down rate it just because i find it immoral. keep up the good work.

Crysis 2 getting another Xbox 360 demo, new trailer highlights Nanosuit's invisibility
Multiplatform demo for PC and 360 hits March 1, PS3 "coming soon"
Dissatisfied with the Crysis 2 multiplayer demo on the 360? Well, Crytek and EA heard you all crying, so they've officially confirmed the release of a second demo for the 360, set for March 1 -- same day PC gamers get theirs.
All versions of the shiny new demo will include the "Skyline" and "Pier 17" maps, which support both the "Team Instant Action" and "Crash Site" MP modes. The final product will include a total of six modes and 12 maps, with a 50-level progression system and unlockable Nanosuit upgrades. Absolutely delicious.
Following up the previous "Be Strong" trailer is the new "Be Invisible," showcasing the Nanosuit's invisibility function, made possible by the suit's new cloaking technology. Oh yes, it's very pretty. Superhuman speed and strength are great to have and all, but nothing beats punching your enemy in the face and he has no idea what the hell just hit him. And while you're doing that, you've gotta shout, "EAT STEALTH, DOUCHEBAG!"
A PS3 demo is on the way, but EA still hasn't given anything more specific than a "coming soon." For now, at least, you've got the PS3 gameplay video to ogle over. Just watch it on loop and pretend that's you playing right there.
Crysis 2 will be hitting all three platforms on March 22 for North American gamers, then a few days following on March 25 for UK residents.

Gap brightens sales outlook
- Renée Frojo
- Reporter- San Francisco Business Times
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Gap Inc. is starting 2013 on a bright note.
For several consecutive months and quarters, the San Francisco-based retailer (NYSE: GPS) has reported revenue gains and growth within most of its brands and markets, signaling a turnaround from the years when it was struggling through the recession.
Gap reported Thursday that net sales for January reached $1.13 billion, up from $833 million during the same period last year.
But the retailer's annual revenue — which jumped from $14.55 billion in 2011 to $15.65 billion last year — is even more telling.
The recession initially took a big hit on the Gap and its many brands, which were plagued by rising cotton costs, an unstable European economy and a lot of internal reorganizing.
But as of late, Gap has reported positive earnings, slowly climbing out of negative sales figures from the year before.
Comparable store sales for the fourth quarter ended Feb. 2, for example, rose 8 percent for both Gap and Banana Republic in North America — up from negative 3 percent for Gap — while sales for Old Navy soared by 12 percent from negative 6 percent last year.
While Gap's collection of brands is still struggling in the international market, those figures have also improved, from negative 8 percent last year to negative 2 percent in the fourth quarter of this year.
Total sales for the fourth quarter rose slightly to $4.73 billion from $4.28 billion last year.
Now it seems that the retailer is continuing to focus on slimming down operations by shutting down underperforming stores, and strengthening is luxury line through the recent $130 million acquisition of Intermix.
It has also announced plans to beef up its presence in China and Brazil to grow its international business.

January is Data Privacy Month
You know the importance of protecting personal identities and the effects social media can have on privacy, but does everyone on your campus? In 2013, during the month of January, EDUCAUSE expanded on Data Privacy Day to provide an entire month's worth of activities and resources to help raise data privacy awareness. Visit the EDUCAUSE Data Privacy Month page for examples of campus activities, as well as archived recordings of several privacy-related webinars.
Privacy in a Networked Environment
With the explosive growth of electronic networks and wide accessibility of online information, EDUCAUSE members -- along with many other higher education constituencies -- are dealing with a formidable set of privacy issues. A key set of issues revolves around the handling of student information, which under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 enjoys special protection.
Other Sources of Information about Online Privacy
- Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit civil liberties organization working in the public interest to protect privacy, free expression, and access to public resources and information in new media.
- Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), a public interest research center in Washington, D.C., established in 1994 to focus public attention on emerging civil liberties issues and to protect privacy.

I work as a bouncer at a piano bar and one night I'm doing my usual routine, wandering around, checking out girls and trying to look tough (I'm pretty good at pretending), I wander to the bathroom. We are supposed to check them every 30 minutes or so, but really, they get checked every like hour and a half or so. I walk in and smell shit and think, "Great, someone clogged the toilet." Looking into the stall I see the reason why. Some joker thought it'd be funny to put their pint glass in the toilet. Head to the employee bathroom, grab some rubber gloves, walk back to the toilet and discover something I never thought anyone would actually ever do. Pulling out the pint glass I find that somebody had shit into the glass. It was carefully planned and coiled up into the cup. Somebody put a lot of effort into this and at the very top was a nice little layer of toilet paper. Great... thanks guys. I was dumbfounded and could not believe somebody would actually do that. I didn't know what to do, I just stared at it. Finally, I took it to the back alley way trash cans and dropped it in and continued on with my night after washing my hands for a good 10 minutes.

Jeff's List of his favorite FOSS Applications
People like stuff that is free. People like lists of things. Today I am going to put these two things together with the following list of my favourite FOSS (free open source software) applications.
Web Browser: Firefox
Platforms: Linux, Windows and OSX
I know Chrome/Chromium have gained a lot of popularity in the past year, but I still like Firefox most as my primary web browser. My two pmain reasons for this are the fact that it generally renders text "nicer" than most webkit-based browsers and the fact that it integrates with most Linux desktops more fully than Chromium does.

Why does Chess Mentor deducts points from my rating if I review a lesson after completion of the lesson?
I don't think it does, you're just seeing the previous deduction of points realised.
E.g. if you were 2000 and lost points it would say at the end 2000 (-5) or whatever. When you review it will show you are 1995.
It doesn't.

Electronic parts distributor, Avnet Inc.'s (AVT - Analyst Report) business segment, Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas' operating unit Avnet Embedded, recently declared the inclusion of various advanced services in its product portfolio from two software providers, namely, InduSoft and itSoftware. The company will be also providing several support services and expert guidance to its clients regarding embedded systems through its team of specialized professionals. This was done with the clear intent of enhancing the company's service offerings, especially in the region of the Americas.
The company through its expert team will be assisting its clients to select and access proper software solutions according to their requirement. Moreover, with the addition of InduSoft and itSoftware's various software solutions, Avnet Embedded will be able to provide improved and secured software techniques to its customers.
According to management, Avnet Embedded has always focused on offering the best services to its clients to facilitate their future growth. This initiative would not only broaden the company's product portfolio in the embedded software market but also address the need of improved software solutions of the customers more efficiently.
The company's expansion plans comprising extension of the existing operations and adding new products to its product lines, particularly in the growing markets, are expected to boost its long-term potential. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, revenues from Avnet's Electronics Marketing (EM) segment declined 5.0% from the year-ago quarter to $3.76 billion, within management's guidance range of $3.75 billion - $4.05 billion. However, we can still be optimistic about a better performance by this segment in the upcoming quarters. For the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the segment's sales are likely to be within the range of $3.55 billion - $3.85 billion.
Avnet faces fierce competition from big players in the semiconductor industry. One of the stalwarts here is Arrow Electronics Inc. (ARW - Analyst Report), which remains an immensely formidable rival, especially in the current times. In addition, there are several other big players such as Wesco International Inc. (WCC - Analyst Report) and Anixter International Inc. (AXE - Snapshot Report) in the industry.
The current Zacks Consensus Estimates for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and for fiscal 2013 are 84 cents and $4.11, representing year-over-year growth of (6.79%) and 1.33%, respectively. The company currently retains a Zacks #4 Rank, which translates into a short-term 'Sell' rating. However, we are maintaining a long-term 'Neutral' recommendation on the stock.

Cream legend Jack Bruce's first solo album in a decade finds him collaborating with Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music/Pink Floyd fame, the Scorpions' Uli Jon Roth, Robin Trower, John Medeski and Cindy Blackman Santana. Steam a sample of "Fields of Forever" here!
Silver Rails is due April 15 via Esoteric Antenna. Before then, Bruce will kick off a UK tour on March 13, 2014 in support of the project, which was produced by Rob Cass. Bruce's co-writers include Pete Brown, Kip Hanrahan and his wife Margrit Seyffer.
The relationships with Brown and Hanrahan stretch back decades, of course.
Brown co-wrote Cream's "White Room," "Sunshine of Your Love" and "I Feel Free," among others. Bruce started working with Hanrahan in the early 1980s, beginning with a series of recordings issued under the Latin/world music legend's name beginning with Desire Develops an Edge and Vertical's Currency in 1983-84. Bruce later collaborated on Hanrahan's 1986 EP A Few Short Notes for the End Run, 1993′s Exotica and 1995′s All Roads Are Made of the Flesh. The bassist has also worked on stage with members of Hanrahan's band.
More recently, Bruce appeared on stage with Manzanera in 2012, then released a celebrated jazz-rock album called Spectrum Road that featured Medeski, Blackman Santana and Vernon Reid. The bassist's most recent solo effort, 2003′s More Jack than God, was the second consecutive release to be produced by Hanrahan.

Poll: Americans Prefer Ryan Over Biden Print article Send a Tip by Ben Shapiro 10 Oct 2012 post a comment Vice President Joe Biden has a problem: nobody seems to like him. In the latest Pew Research Center poll, from October 2012, just 39% of the public had a favorable opinion of Biden, compared to 51% unfavorable; by contrast, Republican vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has a 44%-40% favorability vs. unfavorability split. That split is even worse for Biden among independents, who dislike him by a 35% to 52% margin. This is a drastic drop-off for Biden from 2008, when he had a favorable/unfavorable split of 53% to 31%, outclassing Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin, who clocked in at 51% favorable to 40% unfavorable. There is good news for Biden, though: because nobody likes him, few expect him to beat Paul Ryan. The poll shows that 84% of Republicans consider themselves very likely or somewhat likely to watch the debate, compared with 82% of Democrats. But more importantly, 40% of voters expect Biden to lose the debate to Ryan; 34% expect Biden to win. Among independents, 42% expect Ryan to win, and just 25% expect Biden to win. That's the same sort of split we saw in the first presidential debate, where voters expected Barack Obama to win handily over Mitt Romney. Which poses a problem for Ryan: if he wins, he has done what was expected, while if he loses, Biden has made a comeback. The expectations are squarely on Ryan's head. Thankfully, Ryan has lived up to all expectations thus far. And if the favorability ratings are any indicator, the American public is predisposed to like him.

The Chinese economy: in much worse shape than most believe?
page: 1
log in
posted on Jul, 31 2013 @ 10:11 PM
This subject came up on an Iran oil embargo thread which was basically off-topic.
I believe it deserves discussion.
First, I'm no economic expert, as my chosen name implies. Certain posts/threads have suggested, for example, a Chinese attempt to control/own the world's gold supply (among others) has, in fact, a different explanation.
As the disposable income decreases worldwide, a manufacturing base that services that market will also suffer.
There are those in the investment field who believe that the Chinese moves to invest outside China (mainly in mining, oil and gold) is actually individual corporate owners bailing from their currency and potential nationalization by the gov't in a desperate attempt to stay solvent. That the gov't, as well, is "diversifying" outside China not in an attempt to "control" but to survive.
Iran may be selling oil to China and being paid in yuans, but that may be an act of desperation by the Iranians.
My information is from a family friend who has had an investment newsletter for many, many years. I will provide a link for those that might be interested to a recent, weekly issue of that newsletter. The Chinese reference is on page 21.
I'm not an "investor" or wealthy. My interest is having an overview of where we are going, economically, and being somewhat prepared for what now looks inevitable. The only question left is the timing of it all.
Timing is the investment issue while my own purpose is preparedness to some degree regardless of "timing".
Many of the newsletter publishers have a Quid Pro Quo with each other. They send their letters for free to each other, often quoting each other with their own comments and opinions added on after that quote.
This allows each author to stay on top of issues that they don't specialize in so as to give the broadest and most complete picture to their subscribers.
It is my understanding that the top newsletter charges an annual fee of 100,000 U.S. for twelve monthly issues. It has over 20,000 subscribers.
It is safe to say that no one person has all the data that is available worldwide and newsletters are probably the major, single source of information for the heavy-weight investors.
It surely isn't Fox, MSNBC and the rest.
Here's the link, if your interested, use it or ignore it as you choose:

The Chinese economy is not as rosy as they would like the world to believe. Most of the growth was due to the housing market yet there are far to many homes and office buildings available than there are those that can afford the asking price. Even when faced with total loss of investment, the contractors will not sell at a lower price in order to prevent a total loss.
60% of the domestic container carriers are going out of business which China blames unfair pricing but the major carriers. They fail to blame the fact that they went on a building frenzy of cheap ships and easy loans which has glutted the market. The owners of the domestic lines bought new ships and added to their fleet instead of replacing the older vessels and only to the point of sustainability. Even with government funding for their major lines, they are faced with the fact that competition is tough in a shrinking economy.
With exports down you cannot shore up the economy by building homes that no one is buying and call it growth. It's like the US printing money to the tune of $85 billion a month and saying things are getting better while the job market and business go south. This leaves China only one option and that is, secure as much recourses as possible in other countries. This is seen in their bid to purchase foreign companies in the mining and oil sectors.
China must sustain an 8% growth just to stay afloat. However, currently they are below that which for China is negative numbers. Inflation is also not indexed properly for the publics view yet with as much as a 50% increase in food prices over the past year says it all. No matter how you cook the books, China is in a worse position currently that the US was in 2008. Beijing is doing everything they can to soften the coming crash.

Thanks; I'm reading the entire thing now. My bafflement by large-scale economic principles is no secret. But I still like to read about such things when they're laid out in terms I can understand. Not that the lessons stick--but I do understand well enough that it's all being manipulated to the definite advantage of those who profit no matter what happens.
And that we've been robbed and now brutally assaulted on top of it....

I too beleive that China has issues on the horizon!!
A house boom thats only supported by 5% or less of the population is a huge bubble waiting to burst!
Only 5% or less of the population has any domestic spending power so the maths dont add up to genuine growth!!
China's infrastructure spending has been enormous over recent years and that has to be paid for with revbenue and taxes etc!
Investments offshore are possibly an insuance policy because economic disaster is a possibility.
ROW spending is down and looks like it will continue.
It will be interesting to see how things play out!
posted on Aug, 1 2013 @ 01:38 AM
I see your points.
Toss in massive aerospace development, nuclear arms, high tech military aircraft development and far more expensive, the infrastructure needed for those projects to have any success at all, just to compete with the West and it's like the kids were let loose in the candy store!
Increased competition from India, et al, toss in no oil reserves to speak of and now drought...
Maybe the whole thing collapses into itself, back to regional warlords and dictators.LOL.
Not a pretty picture.
The idea of this century belonging to China is looking more and more like a huge joke.
They do have an old curse that goes "may you live in interesting times". True for all of us, perhaps even more so for them.

Good luck trying to sort all that information out. I sure can't.
Again, I use it for an overview. The world media seems to paint a picture that only reveals some of the problems.
Can't have the consumers too pessimistic else sales will drop even more.

Reviews for Defying the Stars |
ThorinKiliandFili4ever chapter 1 . 11/27/2013 Great story. |
chibigurl305 chapter 1 . 7/11/2011 This is very insightful. It reminds me the way JK Rowling somehow sucks you into that wonderful, magical world that we all love 3 fave |
Taylor1991 chapter 1 . 5/23/2010 Very well written. Severus was very in character. You brought up a valid point, that Severus got more punishments than the Marauders, even after Sirius nearly got him killed. Why didn't Sirius recieve a harsh punishment, he should have been tried as a child for attempted murder, but given how the wizarding world works, the only one who'd suffer in doing so would be Remus. They'd most likely kill him for something that he had no control over. Loved it. |
wandamarie chapter 1 . 10/18/2009 it was a good one thank you it was a thank you for sharing you talents with all of us |
EvadneD chapter 1 . 10/7/2009 Great story! Very in character i think. I liked that Frienze was understanding and such! |
jimmy-barnes-13 chapter 1 . 8/20/2009 Very well done, it was very realistic :) |
JellyBean404 chapter 1 . 7/29/2009 I loved it! Very well written. :) |
excessivelyperky chapter 1 . 7/21/2008 Yes, but we know now those boys never _were_ dealt with, even when they nearly killed Snape (and James ended up a hero, and Head Boy, while Snape probably lost more points and got more detentions for almost being killed. Maybe he even had to serve them with his attempted murderer-that is, if Sirius Black was penalized at all). And we saw how much Dumbledore really valued Snape in DH. A pity Snape didn't have any real friends. It would been awfully nice if he had. Maybe Firenze fetched Snape's body out of the Shack, since it didn't seem anybody was in any hurry to see if he was alive or dead after showing Harry how he had to win the war. Harry was rescued, of course. He always was. Nobody ever rescued Snape. Good story, wish it had been true. But it's clear not even Hagrid cared, or he might have remembered that not all Slytherins are Dark and Evil when talking to Harry. |
snarky Beth chapter 1 . 3/1/2008 Beautiful work, absolutly beautiful! It was so realisitic, plausable and emotional. You wrote everything so well, all the emotions and thoughts were perfectly expressed and you did the characters wonderfully. This idea of the event was so brillaint, never read it before, and I wish it'd happened because it helped poor Severus. Excellant job! I wish there was more. |
Delaine chapter 1 . 2/19/2008 I like your story very much. |
Armaris chapter 1 . 7/25/2007 Very well written... |
ShiTiger chapter 1 . 8/14/2006 This was an amazing fic! Firenze and Severus would definately get along well. Though, it would be interesting to see how their friendship develops as Sev grows older. |
Catmint chapter 1 . 7/14/2006 This is good stuff. You've got Severus' emotions down really well, and I like how you've developed this from what happened in OotP. I love the interaction with Firenze. Not so sure about the hug, though - I could see someone else hugging, but not Severus. *beams* |
Emilie D chapter 1 . 7/13/2006 Hey, Your story was recommended to me because I put Firenze into the story I'm writing. I love the way you describe him and his thoughts on centaur society. I like your description of poor young Snivellus too. Good job! :) |
Slightly Sinister Sinestra chapter 1 . 4/23/2006 I can see it. Clear as crystal. Absolutely fantastic. |

Emma Watson "In Talks" To Play Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades of Grey?
10:07 am, July 24th, 2012
EXCLUSIVEAlthough E L James has said that the Fifty Shades of Grey movie is still a long way from casting, outlets continue to carelessly throw names into the ring.
The latest rumor comes from the New York Daily News, which reports that "Emma Watson is in talks to take on the role of Anastasia Steel [sic] in the movie adaptation of Fifty Shades Of Grey."
According to the paper, "The actress is the hot favorite to be chosen by producers Mike De Luca and Dana Brunetti."
The Daily News further notes, "The 22-year-old is said to have the right looks for the part, combining a degree of innocence with the acting skills to portray the young graduate who gets swept into a world of sado-masochistic sex with a kinky billionaire, Christian Grey."
However, while it might be true that Watson has what it takes to play Anatastia Steele, we seriously doubt the accuracy of a report that doesn't even spell the character's name correctly.
In any case: It's NOT true.
Gossip Cop reached out to a rep for Watson, who tells us exclusively that there is "no truth" to the casting rumor.

Number of South West families battling with bills doubles in a year
One in five householders in the South West are struggling to keep up with their rent or mortgage payments – double the number a year ago – a charity has warned.
Research conducted by YouGov and Shelter showed the number of rent or mortgage payers in the region battling to pay the bills had risen from 11% in December 2011 to 22% in the same month in 2012. It means more than 700,000 people across the South West are starting the New Year facing a monthly battle to keep a roof over their heads.
Shelter also estimated that almost one million people nationally took out a payday loan in the last 12 months to help them cover their mortgage or rent.
Campbell Robb, Shelter's chief executive, said: "It's shocking to think that so many families in the South West will be starting the New Year with a huge weight hanging over them, trapped in a daily struggle to keep their home.

"Short-term credit may seem like a quick fix. However, with the huge interest charges, things can quickly spiral out of control, leaving people with vast debts they simply can't pay back.
"It's vital that anyone who's having difficulty paying their rent or mortgage gets advice now. Don't wait until things reach breaking point later in the year – it could leave your family's home at risk."
The charity said that the number of people constantly struggling to pay their rent or mortgage had increased by 44% in the past year.
A fifth of those surveyed, equating to 7.8 million Britons, were facing a monthly battle to keep a roof over their heads.
Some 4% of rent or mortgage payers said they had fallen behind with their payments, which would be 1.4 million people at a national level.
Around 7% of those surveyed said they used an unauthorised overdraft to help them cover their costs, and one in ten of these people said they did so every month.
Just over 2% said they had taken out a high-interest payday loan for this purpose, equating to around 979,000 people if the figures were projected nationally. Rents have soared over the last year as tenants have remained trapped in the rental sector, because they have been unable to meet lenders' toughened criteria or raise the typical 20% deposit needed.
More than a million homeowners also saw their mortgage costs increase in recent months after several lenders raised their standard variable rates.
Households are set to come under further pressure this winter from soaring energy bills, following a string of price hikes by companies.
Figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders have shown that despite the difficult economy, home repossessions have been much lower than expected, falling to their lowest level since 2007 in the third quarter of this year.
Shelter's research was taken from a survey of 4,000 people across Britain.
