.Net On Android Is Safe, Says Microsoft 377
from the look-we're-not-as-bad-as-oracle-see dept.
If they are just "porting" then I'd have expected that
Or is this going to be "raw" bypassing anything that Google neglected to ensure rights to use?
(Going against my rule, and replying even though it will risk my karma a lot)...
Unfortunately what you said is only partially true.
For example:
OS/2: Originally Microsoft developed Windows NT as OS/2 - a microkernel which was OS/2 on the front backward compatible with DOS and Windows, and switched to Windows, only after IBM started to show less and less interest in coding, and more interest in their process.
Mosaic: Mosaic was open source originated at NCSA labs, and IE was developed by original Mosaic staff.
Java: Microsoft did not develop
A story is rarely single sided, but it's very hip to hit on MS on Slashdot...
It doesn't matter how much they assure that they won't go after free implementations. Without it written in legalese, irrevocable, it's a worthless statement.
What happens in, say, 5 years if/when Microsoft is feeling the pressure of competition? Let's say they're going bankrupt. Sound unlikely? Well, replace 5 years with 20 years. They'll find they have this lovely patent pool full of wonderful words which are potentially worth billions of dollars. Like every single example I can think of in the history of computing since 1980, of course they'll sue using their patents to draw out their death.
The same applies to any of the big names: Google (you're next), Oracle (already doing it), IBM (somehow never died), Sun (via Oracle), for starters. The nuclear weapon analogy holds nicely here too. The software patent mess is Mutually Assured Destruction. But amassing them and then saying "We won't use them"... what happens when your state collapses? Where do they go?
I wouldn't exactly say it'll be that appealing a target given this:
We have not yet announced the pricing for MonoDroid, but you should anticipate that the price will be in the same range as MonoTouch ($400 USD for individual users, and $1,000 for enterprise users).
So not only are you targeting something that is likely to make your phone run slower you are also targeting an audience where someone has to pay as much as their phone outright (and they may have it free on contract...) again just to run a
Money cannot buy love, nor even friendship.

Eddy Cue talks friendship, Jobs' help with wife's cancer
Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs has received a posthumous induction into the Bay Area Business Hall of Fame. The induction actually took place last Thursday, but a new video of the ceremony highlights both Jobs' track record and a speech from Apple's senior VP of Internet software and services, Eddy Cue.

Jenna wears her stripe shirt ALL the time, just like me - has her's come undone?
January 5, 2011
Visions of Pink (& a J.Crew Casualty)
Jenna wears her stripe shirt ALL the time, just like me - has her's come undone?
8 comments:
Oh no! That's such a cute top, too! But I'm sure it should be easy to mend. Quick thinking covering it up with a sweater though...
And your post about not wearing tights made me laugh...I'm from Southern California, and if it's below 70, I'm freezing. I mean, it is pretty cold here right now {not getting above 50 during the days}, but I wouldn't imagine going out without stockings on. And even now, while sitting at my desk at work, I have a scarf on...i hate it when that happens. unfortunately, j.crew isn't as nice as they would like to think. when i worked there (about 8 years ago) they had a video on the issue that we all had to watch. it's something they're aware of and the quality of the clothing has gone up drastically but not completely. it's too bad stuff like this still happens. i bet an alterations place can fix it up for ya,
ReplyDeleteoh no! that's awful. Jenna doesn't want anyone to know, but she has a closet full of those darn tees that she switches out on a regular basis. Even SHE has to see the decline in quality construction and materials.
That being said, you did a job covering up the hole. One would never know! Great mix of color!
Please note: comments are on a delay, so don't worry if you don't see yours right away. Know that I love your comments, questions and input! I always read them and try to get back to any question you have! You can also tweet me (@ChasingDavies) or comment on my Facebook page: Facebook.com/ChasingDavies for other ways to engage! // I will not publish any spam or unnecessarily rude comments.

Digitally remastered Beatles coming in September - CNN.com
Printable View
Nothing better than making money off of nothing. Remasters are fun, but until they decided to do that, you were happy with how it was right? The thing that intrigues me when they do this are releasing demos and early renditions. Those are kind of fun to hear for fans.
Interesting. I just picked up the reproduced version of Pearl Jam "Ten". That wasn't so much remastered, as they took the main tapes and completely redid the production w/Brendan O'Brien. It's a big change imo, and a good one too. Ten has always sounded very dated (especially compared to the rest of their work) from a production standpoint, and much too "slick". It rocks much harder now. It also has 6 unrealeased songs including Brother (which ******* rocks face), Breath, and State of Love and Trust. Previoulsy unreleased MTV Unplugged DVD too. Worth it, imo.
Hopefully the Beatles come out good as well. I would pick up a remastered Abbey Road.
Oh geesh, I'm getting in line right now!!!!:jimlad:
Both 'Ten' and the remastered Beatles have and are coming to Rock Band. The Pearl Jam album is out now as DLC for Rock Band, and the Beatles are getting a stand alone game called "Rock Band : Beatles ed." Tracks can be imported. Just an FYI.
Drugs are always at a premium ;)

Staples shifts investment to the web
As part of a plan to cut costs by $500 million, Staples says it plans to close up to 225 North American stores by ...
Quality content, consumer engagement and speed are what Google wants.
Managing Editor, International Research
Topics: e-commerce, e-retail, search engine optimization, SEO, Top 500, web-only
The rules of search engine optimization and search engine marketing have changed and are still changing, speakers said this morning at the Internet Retailer Conference and Exhibition 2012 in a session entitled "Not Last Year's SEO: New Rules to Raise Rankings."
"Google is watching deeply what is going on on your site," said Ben Kirshner, CEO for search engine marketing vendor Elite SEM.
Google, the speakers in the session said, has learned some lessons over the years about the tactics web site operators were using to game the system. Now, the speakers said, the highest ranked pages will be the ones with genuine and useful content, quality links, consumer interaction and a good user experience.
For example, Kirshner says over-optimizing pages with too many keywords or poor quality links is now more often spotted by Google and will hurt an e-retailer's rankings. Adding links—both external and internal—has long been a tactic to boost page ranking, but Google now looks carefully at the quality of those links, he said. To get quality links that will help and not hurt natural search rankings, e-retailers should turn to business partners such as manufacturers, suppliers and bloggers, Tim Kilroy, director, business development, at online home goods retailer Wayfair, said. "Don't buy your links. Make your links count. Dramatically," Kilroy said.
Retailers also may want to consider linking to their own blogs or Facebook pages, getting their products reviewed and linking to those reviews, and adding links to non-competing but related sites, said Kevin Hickey, vice president of marketing at Online Stores Inc. For example, a retailer that only sells sunglasses might link to an e-commerce site that sells beach towels and sun hats. Another tactic that has proven useful for Hickey is to buy old sites with similar domains and redirect those sites to his.
He also said his company, which sells many seasonal items such as American flags, often adds a burst of links right before a big holiday, such as the Fourth of July, to boost its page ranking. Varying link text is also key, he added, in order to show Google that the links take visitors to different content.
In addition to link quality, Google and other search engines are taking a harder line on content. They will ding companies with copy that contains too many keywords or seems as though it is only written to boost search engine rankings, the speakers said.
Hickey recommends peppering pages with keywords sparingly—using about 2% to 5% of copy on keywords. While Kilroy said to focus on content, not keywords.
"Opine, blog, say something worthwhile," said Kilroy, who has three employees who focus solely on writing content. "Don't write for SEO. Make your writing great."
Kilroy added that clarity is also a key factor in search results. Google likes sites that have clear architecture and are easy to navigate, he said. Search engine crawlers need to be able to find items easily, he said.
"If someone is looking for a green coffee table, make sure your site search and Google can find it," he said. "There is no room for guesswork. Search engines are marvelously bad at guessing."
A clear site that is easy to navigate ties in with user experience, which the speakers all said search engines are focusing on more now as well. All agreed that Google penalizes for slow page loads. Hickey estimates that page load time accounts for about 10% of Google's page ranking algorithm.
Engagement is also key, the speakers said. With the new Panda update for Google's search ranking algorithm, engagement and brand with a site matters greatly, Kirshner said. The longer the time a visitor spends on site, the more pages she views and the more actions she takes, such as clicking on a link, the better Google will view the site, Kirshner said. Page bounces will hurt a site's ranking, he added. He estimates around 10% of Google's algorithm is based on consumer engagement with a brand—both on and off its site. And he believes that will play an even larger role in the future.
For example, Google likes when visitors share retailers' web pages with their friends, Kirshner said. He said e-commerce sites should look at page shares to see what consumers are interested in and boost engagement even more.
He cautions, however, that just as Google is seeking useful content and links, Google is likely seeking genuine engagement with brands.
"If 1,000 people like you on Facebook, but no one is engaged and another site has only 200 fans on Facebook but are more engaged, Google will see that," he says.
Kilroy of Wayfair said polls and questions work much better for social engagement than simply announcing a sale, for example. He said questions like, "What color would you paint this room to spice it up" work much better than "Herman Miller chairs are now on sale."
"Get your customers liking, following and tweeting about you, and engaged with you, Kirshner said. "That is how Google will look at you as an authority in the long run."
It is not just the quality of the links, it is also the anchor text (the actual text that is used to link to your site). There were sites punished for having links from a very high authority site because the anchor text was one of the main keywords. Google does not want to see too many links pointing to your site with keywords as the anchor text. If you think about it, people naturally do not link to a site using anchor text. They link using the url or site name as the actual anchor text. Make sure you have a huge variety of anchor text linking to your site. Your top keywords should not be pointing to your site more than your site name. Use tools such as Open Site Explorer or MajesticSEO to check your anchor text. What Google is doing is very frustrating for SEO firms and marketers because we NEED to market a site. I am not talking about SEO. I mean we actually need to market a site to increase awareness and generate click throughs. To do this, sometimes the best anchor text to use IS your main keywords. You just need to switch it up now. To switch things up you can do: "Keyword(s) - Click Here", but only link the click here text. Mentioned in your article is, "Hickey recommends peppering pages with keywords sparingly—using about 2% to 5% of copy on keywords." I want to add that these percentages are relevant to the page length. If you have a thousand word page and your keyword is showing up 1 in 20 times (5%), then this is obvious keyword stuffing. If your page is very light on text, 5% keyword density can work.

Funny you ask, I didn't even anticipate him reacting to the statues, but he did. It was quite amusing! He was clamoring to get at the statues, crying and barking. He was very perplexed when he got in close for a sniff. He individually verified that each statue was indeed, a statue.
If you're at Lackland visiting the monument you may be interested in checking out the 341st. There's around 1000's MWD's there. They regularly train on various obstacle courses, fun to watch all the different MWD's. Last edited by benjdow; 11-08-2013 at 12:21 PM. |

How touching, I'm in tears already.
I could hardly visit in Vietnam and Korean War monuments in DC, the contrast between being visually stunning and what they represent is too much to handle. |

These dogs have put many of bad guys in tears as well . Here's my buddy's retired MWD, they served a couple tours together. He's currently deployed with his current MWD. Fortunately, the training director of my club was able to kennel his retired MWD, I could only imagine how the typical "pet resort" boarding kennels would deal with a dog like this.
He's living the good life now, still loves to work, and even gets to prove he's "still got it" every now and again |

I have mixed feelings about the monument naming the breeds, particularly the Malinios. Obviously all the breeds deserve the respect, but I think the Mals would be better off without the attention. Unlike the GSD, Lab, and Dobie, the general population is largely unfamiliar with the Malinois breed...which IMO is a good thing. With the monument on the parade ground where the Air Force troops graduate, thousands of people visit it each week. Just like what had happened when the media publicized a Malinois used for the Bin Laden raid, you end up with an influx of people deciding they want a Malinois. The majority of these people don't realize that Mals usually do not make great pets (especially for the typical busy American family) and find out that they can't handle the dog...consequently they end up in shelters and/or are euthanized. |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — However riotous the Eddie Murphy stories from Arsenio Hall, Tracy Morgan, Adam Sandler and Russell Brand, the highlight of Spike TV's tribute to Murphy was the comedian's duet with Stevie Wonder.
Murphy joined the subject of one of his most classic impressions for a rousing rendition of Wonder's 1973 hit ''Higher Ground'' during the taping of the Spike TV special ''Eddie Murphy: One Night Only,'' which is set to air Nov. 14. The Roots served as the house band.
Jamie Foxx, Tyler Perry, Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock and Keenan Ivory Wayans were also among those paying tribute to Murphy Saturday at the Saban Theater.
Accompanied by a pretty blonde, Murphy beamed throughout the two-hour program, saying he was touched by the tribute.
''I am a very, very bitter man,'' he said with a beguiling smile. ''I don't get touched easily, and I am really touched.''
Morgan called Murphy ''my comic hero'' and came onstage wearing a replica of Murphy's red leather suit from his standup show ''Delirious.''
''He set the tone for the whole industry a long time ago,'' Morgan said before taking the stage. ''He inspired me in a fearless way.''
Sandler was still in high school when he first saw ''Delirious,'' which he described as ''one of the most legendary standup specials of all time.''
''Everybody on the planet wanted to be Eddie,'' he said. ''He funnier than us. He's cooler than any of us.''
Samuel L. Jackson said Murphy ''changed the course of American film history'' by giving Jackson his first speaking role on the big screen, in 1988's ''Coming to America.''
''If it weren't for Eddie, we might not have all the wonderful films that I've made,'' Jackson quipped.
''He is a true movie star,'' Jackson continued, lauding Murphy's performance in ''48 Hours'' and ''Beverly Hills Cop.'' ''You became an inspiration for all young African-American actors.''
The program featured clips of Murphy's standup shows, his film appearances in ''Shrek'' and ''Nutty Professor'' and his work on ''Saturday Night Live.''
Murphy insisted before the tribute that he is retired from performing.
''I'm just a retired old song and dance man,'' he said, adding that he only makes rare appearances these days. ''That's what you do when you're retired: You come out every now and then and talk about the old days.''
The 51-year-old entertainer took the stage at the conclusion of the tribute to say he was moved by the honor.
''This is really a touching moving thing, and I really appreciate it,'' he said. ''You know what it's like when you have something like this? You know when they sing happy birthday to you? It's like that for, like, two hours... and I am Eddied out.''

Full Frame Market View Update
Sony has said the new full-frame Handycam, DSLR, and Compact camera products are considered the "Three brothers", providing a full frame proposition of SLR, Compact, (Cyber-shot), and Handy-Cam with all three featuring the copper ring around the lens to signify the full-frame Exmor CMOS sensor inside.Figures show the compact camera market / handycam camcorder and compact camera market in decline - with a huge growth in smart phonesover the last few years (with 5mp or higher). As a result Sony see the market being driven by Image Quality.

Twitter soon to introduce more ads into platform

We've had this question elsewhere and the response is generally the same - no one likes advertising in apps, but that is what keeps them free, so we can't really be too upset when developers eventually introduce advertising or otherwise monetize them. After all, Twitter with ads is probably better than no Twitter at all. Plus, it means alternative apps will get more of a look-in if ad-haters shy away from the official app, so I don't think it's so bad. Although I too, hate ads anywhere in my apps, I still understand their existence.

Description: | Historical report that was the first to define software engineering. Sponsored by the NATO Science Committee, the report documents the results of a conference held in Garmisch, Germany October 7-11, 1968. "The present report is concerned with a problem crucial to the use of computers, viz. the so-called software, or programs, developed to control their action. The report summarises the discussions at a Working Conference on Software Engineering, sponsored by the NATO Science Committee. The Conference was attended by more than fifty people, from eleven different countries, all concerned professionally with software, either as users, manufacturers, or teachers at universities. The discussions cover all aspects of software including relation of software to the hardware of computers design of software production, or implementation of software distribution of software service on software." |

Conclusions and discussion: "This paper has attempted to present a possible method by which large organisations, such as the United Kingdom government, might test the software supplied by computer manufacturers to its installations. Its main aim may be described as an attempt to ensure that new computer installations can rapidly take on the work for which they were purchased by ensuring that installations have the best available information on which to plan their work. It is a procedure aimed at elucidating the facts about software; what works and what does not and how well does it work? The cost of doing this sort of exercise is not trivial but with the number of computer systems involved, the cost per installation is quite small and if the procedure can speed up the take-on of work by allowing the confident use of proved software, rather than the hesitant use of the unknown, it will prove worthwhile. Hopefully, such a procedure would encourage the computer manufacturers to improve their own quality assurance procedures, perhaps even to the point where use of testing of software becomes unnecessary." |

Washington: It is already known that what mom eats when pregnant makes a huge difference in the health of her child.Now, new research in mice has suggested that what she ate before pregnancy might be important too.What a group of female mice ate—before pregnancy—chemically altered their DNA and these changes were passed to her offspring. These DNA alterations, called "epigenetic" changes, drastically affected the pups` metabolism of many essential fatty acids, the research found.These results could have a profound impact on future research for diabetes, obesity, cancer, and immune disorders.To make this discovery, Mihai Niculescu, M.D., Ph.D., study author from Nutrition Research Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in Chapel Hill, N.C. and colleagues split mouse females into two groups before gestation, and fed them either a control diet, or a diet deficient in alpha-linolenic acid or ALA.This was achieved by replacing the type of fats in the diet, while keeping the number of calories the same. The females were bred with mouse males kept on a control diet. Immediately after the moms delivered the pups, each of these two initial groups were further split in two, so that each half of the initial groups received a flaxseed oil supplemented diet (rich in ALA), while the other halves from each group remained on the same diet.

You can walk to your own private beach in approx 20 min's away. There's no better home on the island of Kauai to see the beautiful King Kong Mountain range, than from this location!
Come and see what it is like to live in Paradise on Earth!
And for those who want to go camping on the famous Kalalau Hiking trail, we have a great program for you. You can stay with us for the first few nights, return your rental car if you would like or keep it on the property.
Then we will taxi you out to the trail head and pick you up when you are finished with your adventure, so that you can return and stay additional nights with us before you return back home.
Please reserve your spot at the next Kalalau Beach party with us, we will be staying one night and hiking out the next day all food and drinks will be provided. Kalalau Beach parties happen the first and third Saturday during the months of June and July. Contact Big Wave Dave for more details.

General Info
Just hanging around.
I prefer to be blunt in these "About Me" things. I'm a dominate bottom. I don't like being told what to do in bed. That's why it's so hard for me to keep a boyfriend, they think I just say that to be macho or something, but it's not that at all.
Turn Ons
Muscles, uncut cocks, wrestling, military uniforms, sports uniforms (soccer and wrestling is my favorite), massages, moaning, and submissive tops.
Turn Offs
twinks, talking during sex, dominate tops, barebacking, drugs of any kind, and cheaters.
And just a note here about the barebacking. It's not that I think it's immoral or I don't trust my partner, I do like a guy who cums while fucking me, but I don't like dealing with the after results (you know what I'm talking about here). If he's wearing a condom, then all the fun is there without the mess!
