I never had luck with the ulv kernels. They were very unstable on my device. Happily running Raidzero's LV 2.6.39 250/900 atm.
I'm also back on 4.2 for a while now. Seems D1 development has peaked. So many newer, faster devices that're stock GB or higher, with the old girl well past EOL at this point. How much further could Froyo actually be pushed? I mean... it's pretty damn good.

Just installed 4.2 again after a few weeks of cm6. When I'm on a call, all of the normal buttons that show up are missing. It only shows the callers name and duration of call. No end, speaker, or mute buttons. There's a tab at the bottom of screen which brings up the dialpad but even then I'm still missing those other few buttons. Did I inadvertantly change a setting? Anyone experience this before?
Just hit the menu button on the bottom of your phone ( the hard button) and the menu will pop up from the bottom of the screen with the options for speaker phone, hang-up and Blacklist. Be sure when ending a call not to use the icon that looks like a broken handset, it not only ends the call but then adds the number to the blacklist and doesn't let that number through until you remove it from the list. Hope this helps.

Thx for the reply. Yes I found them in the menu. But I'm curious as to why they are there now and not jjust on the screen like they were the previous times I flashed 4.2
Yep that's it. Just takes a reboot to take effect. I guess that's why it didn't help before. Thanks
question...My screen will not time oout when i have it charging. anyone have this problem or know of a fix?
Check ur settings. I used p.e. and it times out. Probably something ur missing.

Sorry this is so bloody long, but it's the only version with all of my thoughts attached. I'm not ready to share some parts with my midwife until I have the right words, and I'm not ready to share more intimate stuff with the blog/facebook world. I've tried to bold the portions that make up the "story" portion...
Birth Story of Genevieve Soleil, born 8:12pm on 12/12/12
*The evening of December 11 (I was 39w6d if using the same dating method as with the boys), I was so *done* being pregnant and just wanted to meet my baby girl. Dawud, the boys, and I went to SuperTarget so I could walk some laps. I was going to walk 12, but had some ligament pain (due, I'm sure, to sitting on my duff entirely too much for the 2nd and 3rd trimesters) and called it quits after 9 laps. I'd had semi-regular contractions through them, and they got a little more intense while power walking, but I never had to stop--though I did have to concentrate to breathe through them a few times. We came home, put the boys to bed, and did our own version of induction, too. That seemed to work pretty well on top of the walking, as I started having noticeably stronger and regular contractions after that.
Around 11pm on the 11th of December, I started having noticeably stronger contractions through which I couldn't talk, and they were somewhat regular--averaging about 7min apart. I slept between them for a bit, and about 2am, they were steadily at 5 min apart and I could no longer sleep at all, so I woke Dawud up, we called the midwife (Amber) and my friend (Charlie) who was to entertain the boys and take photos of the birth and baby. After all, my previous labors were so fast--I had gone from 5 min apart to transition in less than an hour. Of course, we filled the birth pool, Amber and her assistant/apprentice (Cheryl) came, as did Charlie (It wasn't until one of them said something about a 12-12-12 baby that I realized it was a possibility!) ...and my contractions spaced back out again. We all went to sleep around 4, I think (Dawud and I on the futon in the homeschool/birth room, and the 3 attendants on the couch in the living room). I was really disheartened, and everyone went home around 6 or 7. I went to my real bedroom and slept for a few more hours until I was awakened at 10:30 with the first of more strong, regular contractions.
*A couple of things I noted with this round were that my breasts started to feel more tender and sensitive than they had during the previous night. I also began the clearing-out of my, erm, digestive system. The previous night, I could snack through what I thought was labor (though I overdid it with the dried pineapple slices and tried unsuccessfully to throw up in the wee hours before everyone went home), but during the day on the 12th, I wanted nothing to eat, and was even nauseous for a good while.
These new contractions felt more pressure-y, and they got back to 3-4 min apart after a couple hours, so we called Cheryl since Amber had to be at a court proceeding (and wasn't even reachable). She came over and spent the afternoon with Dawud and myself, trying to keep things going again. She suggested alternating activity with rest (but I swear, she was constantly telling me to lie down, even though I was getting good contractions when I was walking up and down the stairs). Things fizzled out AGAIN, and she went home around 3, suggesting I try a chiropractic adjustment (I had just had one 2 days prior) and/or acupuncture to get labor going in earnest. I called my friend's mother-in-law who is an acupuncturist, but couldn't reach her, then remembered my Naturopath is also an acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine practitioner. I called her office, virtually in tears, and they worked me in.
My ND suggested that my issue lay with an inadequately nourished body, that I needed a big boost of iron and my chronically low progesterone may also be at play and suggested I get a progesterone cream. (Even though progesterone is naturally pretty low at the end of pregnancy, it does need to be at a certain threshold for labor to run smoothly, apparently.) We proceeded with about an hour of acupuncture, with plans to go to Whole Foods on the way to pick up the boys from Charlie's on our way home, since she had plans for the evening. An hour later, I rolled off the acupuncture table, and seriously started having way different, stronger, and closer contractions! I had to stop a couple times while at Whole Foods to sway and breathe through a contraction, and it was getting difficult to do. We were going to take the highway since we had to pick up the boys, and of course it was rush hour, but there were also accidents galore, and traffic was horrific. It was kind of blurry from there until we got home, where I promptly took a double shot of iron and double dose of progesterone cream.
I called Amber when we were in traffic (maybe around 6:30), telling her my contractions were stronger, necessitating me to hum/moan and sway through them, and they were about 5 minutes apart. She said she had never seen acupuncture work that quickly, and that it might be another day or so for it to kick in, and that she had plans for the evening and would come to my house around 9pm for membrane stripping if things were still going slow. (But I didn't feel like they were going slow anymore...apparently I come off as way too calm in active labor for anyone to believe that I'm close to birthing!) Somewhere in there, the boys were fed and put to bed while I sat at the computer, contracting away--they had gotten down to 3 minutes apart.
Since Amber was busy, I called Cheryl, telling her my contractions had gotten closer together--to 3 min--and more intense, and by the way, I lost my mucous plug, and she suggested I take a bath or shower to see if they changed any, and to call her when they got to 2 minutes apart. (I remember thinking, "I don't HAVE 2 minutes apart...I have a baby! but at that point, I decided I didn't want her coming unless Amber was here anyway. It's also worth noting that I thought she would be relaying my information to Amber. It became apparent later that she was not.) I had a feeling if I got in a bathtub, my baby was going to be born there, so instead of the bath or shower, I stripped off my clothes, put on my "birth bra" (for photo-friendliness), and got straight into the birth pool. It didn't take long for my contractions to become very intense. Dawud took over Contraction Timer App duty on my phone, and they were less than 3 minutes apart anymore.
I checked myself while in the pool and realized I was feeling baby's head (and hair!) through the amniotic sac. Dawud went upstairs to see if the boys wanted to come down for the birth, but they were already fast asleep and did NOT want to wake up! Then he asked if I wanted to call Cheryl, but I said I'd rather it just be me and him or me, him, and Amber. We decided to call Amber at that point (about 8:05 pm...My contractions were 2:15 apart just then, incidentally). She listened to me moan through a contraction and said she'd be right over--The one she heard, I felt a little bit pushy for a couple seconds of, so I knew she wasn't going to make it. He made a quick call to Charlie to tell her to come over. (The homeschool meeting she was at is also my homeschool group, so they were all happy to see her leave!) I had another, shorter contraction, got on my knees and leaned over the side of the birth pool (after tearing in the front with Khalil because of my funky positioning, I was determined to birth in the All-Fours position in hopes of avoiding tears altogether)--and then told Dawud I needed him to get a washcloth from the supply bin, get behind me, and support my perineum with it. Within a few seconds of him doing so, I had another contraction during which my body was pushing despite my valiant effort not to push, and I said, "Her head's coming now!" I had maybe a minute before the next push (again, against my will, lol!), and she was out. Dawud started to pick her up, and I just said, "No, just push her through my legs, so I can pick her up." Again, he's a good listener when it's necessary, and I picked her up, sat back (which was much easier than I had envisioned, by the way), and he and I stared at our sweet baby girl. (Yes, I totally double-checked to make sure she was a she, lol!) I asked Dawud to tell me what time it was. 8:12pm on December 12, 2012. She hardly had any vernix left on her (just on her back and in folds of skin), but she was hairy--lots of dark, fluffy hair at her shoulders and prominent eyebrows already to match the dark hair on her head. Her feet and toes, hands and fingers, were really long and lithe. She looked a lot like Khary when he was born. I latched her on to my right breast, and she began nursing away immediately.
After a few (no idea how many) minutes of bliss, we decided we should call Amber letting them know that Genevieve had arrived. Charlie was the first person through the door, and Dawud told her Nevie was here before she came back to the birth room, and she was already in happy tears. Amber came a few minutes later, and Cheryl some time after that. Genevieve was showing some impressive head control and rooting, so we let her try to find her own way to my other breast and sure enough, she found it and latched all on her own--that was pretty amazing. I stayed in the pool for apparently a really long time (it didn't feel like more than an hour!) while Nevie nursed like crazy, waiting for the placenta to come. Eventually, we did get out of the water, me holding Genevieve, since we hadn't cut the cord yet, and moved to the futon/bed. Within minutes, the birth pool was emptied, cleaned, dismantled, and moved out of the room.
Somewhere along the lines, we got a few blurry pictures after babe had arrived, everyone went home, and we got some sleep. (Dawud slept on an air mattress next to us on the (too small) futon.) When the boys awoke and came downstairs, they proceeded to ooh and ahh over their baby sister and began their abject adoration of her straightaway.
*The placenta was fully detached, but I hadn't had any contractions to push it out yet. A couple hours after Nevie was born, I had to squat over a bowl and some Chux pads and push it out on my own. Dawud went upstairs again to see if the boys would wake up and give them a chance to cut the cord, but they declined and went back to sleep again. When I was in the water, I kept waiting for it to turn bloody from me bleeding too much like I had with both boys, but it never did. Not sure what was different about this birth in that respect, but I'm so glad I didn't have to worry about hemorrhage, even my "slight" ones. I was in disbelief when Amber declared I hadn't torn at all, and insisted I check myself. I don't know that I'll ever birth another baby, but if I do, I'll definitely be in All Fours again--the recovery has been way easier than with either of the boys (I had a slight perineal tear with Khary, and the clitoral tear with Khalil). While Amber was checking me in the bathroom, Cheryl weighed the baby without me, and even read the scale wrong. Genevieve was actually 8lb1oz, but she read the scale as 8lb7oz when she moved it, and that's what I told everyone initially. hmph.
**I'm still processing some of the negative aspects of my labor and birth--mainly that I didn't feel like I really had access to my midwife both during the day (totally out of her control, as she was under subpoena and was testifying) and in the evening (she had explained that her husband was taking a final exam until 7:30, and her kids had company over for Hanukkah and she didn't want to leave her teenagers unsupervised...that one seems a little iffy to me). I'm not bitter about the actual birth or anything--it was kind of perfect to just have myself and DH welcome our baby girl on our own, and we were comfortable in the situation, too. I'm irritated that my communications and feelings of urgency were shrugged off a bit (presumably) because my labor had fizzled out a couple times prior--as if I were crying wolf. What I was, was concerned that my labor would become precipitously fast and wanted to make sure everyone who was supposed to be in attendance was there and in enough time for things to not feel rushed.

The Game angrily got right up in the face of the man who claims the rap superstar hit him outside a Hollywood nightclub -- and TMZ has obtained new, up-close footage of the incident.
Breyon Williams tells us he was trying to shoot video of R&B singer Mario outside Colony early Tuesday morning -- when Game approached them. In the video ... you can see and hear that Game and his posse want the camera turned on him.
Williams tries to explain he will interview Game right after Mario ... but Game gets pissed, when Williams says, "He [Mario] don't want to help you." Game spins right into the camera lens and yells, "N***a, help me?" Then someone hits Williams and/or his camera -- and the camera cuts off.
We're told The Game denies hitting anyone, but the video makes it clear someone made physical contact with Williams.
Williams filed a police report and says he suffered facial swelling and headaches. He says he's planning on filing a lawsuit.
The fight is under investigation ... so far no arrests have been made.
"...so far no arrests". Well you $ee it$ like thi$, FirSt they have to conduct an inve$tigation to determine IF anyone wa*****, that'll take a few week$, then they there's the explanation-they'll co$t you-then they have to determined was it provoked, and by whom--that's take about a month-afterwards the "inve$$$tigation" they'll conclude that guy who ALLEGES to have been hit was indeed at fault and that it was just an hone$t mistake. You know, a misunder$tanding...$$$$$ Meanwhile, "The Game" is going to call the boyz in the hood in on a "job" to $ilence-I mean..
The Game change your name as a great wrestler has it. Your 15 minutes of fame is over. On to something else TMZ.
Someone from his group probably threw the punch but he will end up getting sued for it anyways. Never understood why they surround themselves with a bunch of guys who do nothing but waste their money.
this bipolar ass stripper is just trying to get promotion for his album....sorry game ain't buying it
Who are the idiots that are listening to this guy? I imagine its only white teenagers who are dumb enough to be into this garbage.
With some people all you need to do is see single picture of them to tell they are a loser. The Game is one of those people. Oh well, 5 years from now he'll be bankrupt and probably in jail.
Game need to sit down somewhere and read a book with that butterfly tattoo on his face. the tatto said it all thats why he covered it ******* cupcake.
Do you want long, health nails or Do you have really dry skin. Well the cure is at your finger tips. Try nicolazshop.com. We have the cure!!
Game chill man, enjoy it. damn, he's got a problem with everyone except Em and Dre? Whatever. These ******* paps need to have laws put against them - WTF - you can't just run up on someone like that little bitch did with a big camera and light and yell in someones face...especially a rapper, especially at night. WTF you stupid paps are such *******...if he punched you, you'd know it and maybe then I'd say he was outta line. This wouldn't happen in NY.

Conservatives know that Barack Obama was for gay marriage before he was against it before he was for it again. They know too that Obama was against the War on Terror before he was for it. They also know that Obama has repeatedly lied about his family background, his relationship with his former pastor Jeremiah Wright, his leftwing policies, etc. And that's why Mitt Romney needs to fight back against Team Barry and their host of lies concerning Bain Capital:
The Romney campaign will begin to aggressively push back against President Obama's accusations that the Republican was an "outsourcing pioneer" today, a source privy to the the campaign's strategy told BuzzFeed.RELATED: Team Romney explains why they haven't responded to Bain attacks
In a conference call Monday morning, senior staff said Romney's surrogates would stop shying away from the word "lie" in responding to Democrats' attacks on his business record, and plan to go on TV to call Obama a "liar," the source said.
"They are very fed up with these attacks," said the source.
The pushback comes after a week of hand-wringing among GOP elite, who worry that Romney is letting Obama's attacks — which seek to undermine the very rationale for the Republican's candidacy, his private sector experience — gain traction without any serious effort to rebut them. Some Republican strategists have said Romney should be spending serious money to respond to the attacks.
"The feeling was that nobody is watching this right now," said the source. "They had a time frame to respond to the Bain attacks... But today the counterattack with the surrogates is going to begin."
The thrust of Obama's attacks come from a Washington Post story published last month that revealed Bain Capital invested in companies that specialized in "helping other companies move or expand operations overseas." Chicago seized on the revelations to advance a narrative that Romney made his fortune by advising companies on how to outsource jobs.
In response, Romney surrogates are going to make the case that most of the offshoring happened after the Republican left Bain, and that much of it was simply to help firms sell products overseas.
To spread the message, the source said, the campaign is going to start circulating a document to press that compiles "presidential falsehoods and exaggerations."

One of the delights of British beer is the intriguing variety of tastes on offer.
The choice of malt and hops and the way the brewer works with his ingredients all influence the strength, colour and, above all, taste of your beer. The subtleties - from nose to finish – can be described by aficionados, but are best discovered for yourself.
Of course, there is no substitute for trying and tasting to find your own favourites, but to guide you here are a few ales with a strong following.
Our latest ale is inspired from over 180 years of brewing at The Whole Hop Brewery. Styrian Goldings added to English Fuggle hops achieve a refreshingly well-balanced combination. The subtle biscuity flavour comes from pale ale and amber malts. Mixed with the citrus flavours of these hops, this creates a light and refreshing ale that all generations of ale drinkers will enjoy.
At The Whole Hop Brewery we have over 180 years of traditional brewing experience. The recipe for Country's distinct fruity taste is a testament to this when we carefully mix the Progress, Brambling Cross and English Fuggle hops. The addition of crystal malt to the pale ale malt creates a light colour and adds a nutty taste. Best bitter drinkers will really enjoy this beautifully balanced complex ale.
As one of the longest established ales in the UK, the quality of AK comes from 180 years of brewing experience at The Whole Hop Brewery.
Our award-winning bitter uses a carefully balanced mixture of pale ale and chocolate malts to give a soft malty taste, while WGV hops give a light fragrant aroma and clean finish. A popular and refreshing easy-drinking bitter.
An ideal gift for both ale connoisseurs and for those wanting the perfect introduction to real ale.
2 x 500ml of McMullen Country Bitter (4.1% abv)
A golden hoppy ale with hints of citrus and spicy berries for a well-balanced beer.
2 x 500ml of Hertford Castle (5.0% abv)
A fine brew from McMullen at The Whole Hop Brewery, combining natural whole leaf aroma hops, best Suffolk malted barley and McMullen's own pure spring water.
2 x 500ml of Stronghart Bitter (7.0% abv)
Specially brewed from the finest malted East Anglian barley and whole leaf English hops. CAMRA described it as "Liquid Christmas pudding.
Supplied in a McMullen gift presentation bag.
The McMullen Ale Selection Pack is available for Collection only.
A fine brew from McMullen at The Whole Hop Brewery, combining natural whole leaf arome hops, best Suffolk malted barley and McMullen's own pure spring water. Late hopping adds a subtlety to the traditional recipe, creating a truly distinctive taste for the ale connoisseur.
Specially brewed from the finest malted East Anglian barley and whole leaf English hops. CAMRA chose McMullen Stronghart as their first 'Best Festive Ale' award, describing it as "Liquid Christmas pudding. A beer that is rich, dark and exceptionally smooth, demonstrating the very special skills of Hertfordshire's Independent Family Brewers".
Our Head Brewer has combined the finest East Anglian Ale malted barley with a subtle blend of Crystal Malt and Caramalt with McMullen's own pure spring water.
The addition of whole leaf Fuggle, Bramling Cross and Golding Hops at different stages of the brewing process gives a golden hoppy ale with hints of citrus and spicy berries for a well-balanced beer.
Tasting notes:
Throughout the year The Whole Hop Brewery produces a variety of specially brewed ales, specifically for seasonal, celebration and special events. These ales give us the opportunity to explore new flavours and aromas, and the results are always well received by those who already acknowledge McMullen as one of the leading brewing innovators. They are only available for limited periods so watch this space!
IPA is a full-bodied beer that all cask ale connoisseurs will recognise as a "classic". We use specially kilned amber malt to give it its deep rich flavours. One of our head brewers favourites.
Flying Frog is a brown smooth beer made with a careful blend of Ale, Chocolate and Crystal malts with a combination of English whole leaf aroma hops added at different stages of the brewing process.

Rain slicked autumn leaves
Plastered to the grey sidewalks~
Kaleidoscope swirls.
Rain slicked autumn leaves
Plastered to the grey sidewalks~
Kaleidoscope swirls.
The sun does not peek
From behind angry grey skies
It is a rain day.
I secretly like rain days. I like the sound of the drops on my roof. I am not tempted to leave my work, but bend over it and diligently get it done. Then at the end of the day reward myself with the satisfaction I have a day well done under my belt.
Do you find bliss in rain days?
A Cliché
It is April
And it is raining
Ho hum.
(Brought to mind by that old saying: April showers bring May flowers.)
What clichés bring you bliss?
Mid-March hesitates
Lion yawning, lamb awaits
Spring plays hide and seek.
Mixed snow and rain, icy cold
Where is soft sweet spring?
True bliss is patience
Icicles will drip and melt
Giving way to blooms.
Cold and wet and rain
Wind, windier, windiest
Perfect devil's eve
Three things I am thankful for today:
1. It is raining so I do not have to water the garden.
2. It is raining so my husband is getting a much-needed day off work.
3. It is raining—but not too much—no gales, no tornadoes, no hurricanes, no hail. Just enough rain to leak into my front hall closet, but nowhere else. And I have a big bowl in there to catch it. So no biggy. Nothing like the people in the southern United States. So I am grateful.

Hey, Steve here. I don't know what Zack is doing with Thanksgiving but I wanted to be thankful about a few things related to RPGs. I've got like backlogs of years of thankfulness on this stuff, so these could be from pretty much anytime from about 1988 until now. But these are like milestones of excellence in things related to RPG gaming that you should be aware of. Although I sort of forgot the dates on some of them, but I did write them down, they were just in my folder with my Pathfinder character sheets for Keith's campaign and I spilled rootbeer on that and then didn't notice until like two days later and by then they were all glued together into like one piece of paper bark. I pulled them apart but it was impossible to read the dates. Sorry.
New York's concern about lead in toys
New York's legislature saved my life. True story. The year was 1993. There was some sort of panic going on about babies eating lead unicorns over in New York. The legislature reacted to the media interviewing bad moms who left their dang unicorn shelves unattended by signing legislation that banned lead in toys including tabletop miniatures. Although this crap later got reversed it prompted a switch by most miniature makers to using pewter and other metals that wouldn't kill babies as easy.
The switch pretty much worked out if you were like me and got in a fight with this dude named Paul that used to run D&D for us at the Wizard & the Goblin Fantasy & Comics by my house. Like, he never came up with adventures either, his adventures were just traveling from one place to another and doing random encounters. We're not talking the Bard up there spinning his tales. There was a lot of down time.
One two-liter of Mountain Dew, half a box of Swiss Cake Rolls and dude holds a grudge. Some things were said that was all the Mountain Dew talking, there was a thrown encounter miniature, a chipped tooth, a missing evil wizard and some difficult time in the bathroom about a day later. Trust me, dudes, those pointy wizard hats were not designed for the human butt system. If it weren't for that switch freaking Ral Partha and Paul the 8th grader with a beard would have been charged with collaborating on a reckless homicide or at least like intent to retard.
So thanks Mario Cuomo and the NY legislature dudes in 1993.
Only three episodes left until the big finale of this show! The finale you have all been waiting for to season 4. Or was it season 5?
Top 10 Billionaires in the World? Most Powerful People in Tech? We've seen lists just like these for decades now. Recent features like Best Billionaires Under 40 have attempted to shake things up by getting more specific, but they need to go even further.
Did anybody even want this sequel?
James Callis delivers easily the best-worst Merlin performance of the last 500 years.
Zack Parsons, Steve "Malak" Sumner, and friends tackle bizarre role playing game products that make them wonder, "What the fuck!?" From the early days of Gygax to contemporary role playing games, none will be spared.

Southern Tier Town Clerk quits over same sex marriage; Cuomo: "The law is the law."
By Staff report
NEW YORK CITY – Governor Cuomo says he "understands" the point of view of opponents of gay marriage who plan to protest during New York's first same sex marriages later this month, but he says publically elected officials who refuse to okay the ceremonies are likely not going to be able to stay in their jobs.
At least one town clerk, in the Binghamton area, has announced she would quit her job rather than approve paperwork for same sex marriages, Cuomo says public officials are expected to uphold the law.
"If you're saying you're going to act through your religious beliefs rather than the law of the state, then you operate in a position where you're supposed to be enforcing the laws," Cuomo said.
Cuomo, asked about planned protests of same sex marriages when they begin in New York on July 24th, says he understands the opposition's point of view, and their religious position, but says he's "comfortable" with the new gay marriage law, and believes it's a matter of "equality and anti discrimination".

Sometimes the best investment opportunities present themselves when the situation looks bleak and emotions start to take over. The turmoil in Egypt has resulted in one of these opportunities. The share price of oil exploration and production company Transglobe Energy (TGA) has declined significantly in recent months due to the deteriorating economic and political climate in Egypt, where the majority of its operations take place. To further complicate the situation, the military has ousted President Morsi, and it remains to be seen whether the country will be able to find its economic footing, or whether a lack of focus and discipline will continue to highlight economic policy.

Toyota and Microsoft will announce details of their partnership for its "revolutionary in-car experience" Entune which will include voice activated search using Bing through the driver's mobile phone's data plan.
"Entune is a revolutionary in-car experience that keeps you and your Toyota connected. It's never been easier. Just download the Entune mobile app to applicable phones, and you can access a variety of in-car applications from your phone. You can control the applications by using the touch screen or voice commands (Bing only at launch). Entune will be available as an option on select models this year," the Toyota site explained.
While various internet connected devices have been in cars for some years now, this new platform integrates with the driver's phone plan and can access a number of new features (all of which have yet to be detailed). Open Table is one service included that will allow commuting people to make dinner reservations - though apparently you have to be in park to use this one.
How long will be be before someone uses location based searches to find accommodations for road travelers? It would be handy to put in price and rating parameters to find hotels and motels off the exits you are heading to, when you need somewhere to pull in and sleep. Both Google and Bing Maps could be used for some of this. Then Local Search would take on a new meaning and possibly replace the billboards seen on the side of the road. Maybe some clever programmers could create feeds that the cars can capture from broadcast points, offers for any given night based on vacancies etc would be another creative way to take advantage of such search technology.
Mobile devices would become truly mobile with moving search results based on cars' locations.
"Toyota is using a system that relies on the driver's smartphone for many of its functions. The company is hoping this will overcome a long-standing problem with automotive technology: since it is difficult to upgrade hardware built into cars, drivers often end up with obsolete technology after just a few years.
Toyota said users will register their car and phone on a company website and then download the applications to their phones. It is designed to work with "virtually every" phone where an online data plan is available, such as Android-based phones, iPhones and BlackBerrys," said Greg Thome, a spokesman for Toyota, the Wall Street Journal reported.
