The Carlsberg Group (/ˈkɑrlzbərɡ/; Danish: [kʰɑːˀlsb̥æɐ̯ˀ]) is a Danish brewing company founded in 1847 by J. C. Jacobsen with headquarters located in Copenhagen, Denmark. The company's flagship brand is Carlsberg Beer (named after Jacobson's son Carl) but it also brews Tuborg, Kronenbourg, Somersby cider, Russia's best selling beer Baltika, Grimbergen abbey beers as well more than 500 local beers.[2]
After merging with the brewery assets of Norwegian conglomerate Orkla ASA in January 2001, Carlsberg became the 5th largest brewery group in the world. It is the leading beer seller in Russia with about 40 percent market share.[3] In 2009 Carlsberg ranked 4th and employed around 45,000 people.[4]
Carlsberg was founded by J. C. Jacobsen; the first brew was finished on 10 November 1847. Export of Carlsberg beer began in 1868; foreign brewing began in 1968 with the opening of a Carlsberg brewery in Blantyre, Malawi.[5] Some of the company's original logos include an elephant (after which some of its lagers are named) and the swastika. Use of the latter was discontinued in the 1930s because of its association with political parties in neighboring Germany. Carlsberg founder J. C. Jacobsen was a philanthropist and avid art collector. With his fortune he amassed an impressive art collection which is now housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in central Copenhagen.
Jacobsen set up the Carlsberg Laboratory in 1875 which worked on scientific problems related to brewing. It featured a Department of Chemistry and a Department of Physiology. The species of yeast used to make pale lager, Saccharomyces carlsbergensis, was isolated at the Laboratory and was named after it. The concept of pH was developed there as well as advances in protein chemistry.[6] The laboratory was part of the Carlsberg Foundation until 1972 when it was renamed the Carlsberg Research Center and transferred to the brewery.
The old brewery in Copenhagen is open for tours, and famous visitors have included Winston Churchill, Yuri Gagarin and Queen Elizabeth II.
The first overseas licence for brewing was given to the Photos Photiades Breweries, and in 1966 Carlsberg beer was brewed for the first time outside Denmark at the Photiades breweries in Cyprus.[7]
Carlsberg acquired Tuborg breweries in 1970[5] and merged with Tetley in 1992.
In 2008, Carlsberg Group, together with Heineken, bought Scottish & Newcastle, the largest brewer in the UK, for GBP7.8bn (US$15.3bn).[8]
Regional operations[edit]
The Carlsberg Group divide up their operations into three market areas: Northern & Western Europe, Eastern Europe and Asia.[9]
Eastern Europe[edit]
Baltic Beverages Holding is currently owned by Carlsberg. Previously, it was a joint venture between Carlsberg and J. C. Jacobsen in Russia.[8] The company is a significant operator in the brewing industry in Russia, Ukraine, the Baltic countries, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. It has a majority interest in OAO Baltika Breweries, the largest brewery in the Russian Federation and Eastern Europe.[10]
Carlsberg is in early-stage negotiations to sell its subsidiary in Uzbekistan. The Uzbek government claims the subsidiary owes $4.6 million in taxes from unreported revenue. Lower courts also claims that Carlsberg illegally produced 1.6 million litres of beer from 2008-2010. For these reasons, in March 2012 Carlsberg suspended production at its Uzbek plant and asked its employees to take an unpaid leave.[11]
Northern & Western Europe[edit]
Carlsberg acquired the Aldaris Brewery in Riga, Latvia, in 2008.[12] The brewery was founded in 1865, and produces Aldaris brand beers.[13]
Carlsberg Polska is the Polish subsidiary of the Carlsberg Group. Carlsberg acquired 100% control of the Okocim Group, which included the Okocim Brewery, in 2004. The subsidiary owns four brewing plants and employs 1,250 staff. It is the third largest brewing company in Poland with a 14.4% market share.[14] Brands include Harnaś, Kasztelan, Okocim, Piast, Somersby and Carlsberg.
Carlsberg Sweden (Sverige) is based in Stockholm. It owns the Falcon Brewery in Falkenberg, and the Ramlösa mineral water bottling facility in Helsingborg.[15] Carnegie Porter, a 5.5% abv Baltic porter, along with the Pripps and Falcon brand lagers, are brewed in Falkenberg.[16]
Norway brands include: Arendals, Dahls, Frydenlund, Nordlands, Ringnes and Tou.
Other European brands include: Feldschlösschen (Switzerland), Holsten (Germany), Jacobsen, Karhu (Finland), Kronenbourg (France) and Tetley (UK). A result of the take over of Scottish and Newcastle, Carlsberg now control the San Miguel brand in the UK.
United States[edit]

Carlsberg started to export beer to China in 1876.[17] In late 1990s, Carlsberg had two breweries in China – Huizhou and Shanghai. The company acquired Huizhou Brewery of Guangdong province in 1995, which started to supply both the Chinese and Hong Kong market. The brewery is one of the best quality brewery of Carlsberg around the world.[17] Carlsberg invested around US$30m in its Shanghai brewery, which started production in 1998. In 2000, Carlsberg sold a majority stake in its Shanghai brewery to Tsingtao Brewery.[18] Carlsberg formerly had a brewery in Tai Po, Hong Kong, which was established in 1981, but shut it down in 1999[19] due to high costs.
In 2003, Carlsberg acquired the Kunming brewery and the Dali brewery in Yunnan province. At the time, the Dali brewery is the largest beer brewery in Yunnan.[20] In 2004, Carlsberg became a major shareholder in Lhasa Brewery in the Tibet Autonomous Region. At 3,700 metres above sea level, Lhasa Brewery is believed to be the highest altitude brewery in the Carlsberg Group.[19]
In 2008, Carlsberg sold its remaining interest in the Shanghai brewery to Tsingtao Brewery.[21]
In August 2011, Carlsberg announced to form a new joint venture with Chongqing Brewery and Chongqing Light Textile Holding. Chongqing Light Textile Holding is a major shareholder of Chongqing Brewery. The joint venture, to be called Chongqing Xinghui Investment Co., Ltd, would operate 12 breweries in China in Chongqing, Sichuan, Guangxi, Guizhou and Hunan. Chongqing Brewery would contribute five breweries and Chongqing Light Textile Holding would contribute seven breweries into the joint venture. Carlsberg would inject 160 million Danish crowns (about US$30.90 million) and have a 30% interest in the venture.[22]
Carlsberg India Pvt. Ltd. headquartered in Gurgaon, India is a foreign direct investment company formed to brew and market Carlsberg beer in India. The company has also brought the Tuborg and Palone brands into India. Palone is sold as a 'strong' beer with 7.5% alcohol by volume. Strong beers dominate the Indian market, estimated in 2008 to total approximately 17 million hectolitres with over a 72% share. Carlsberg is available in most states of India, with five operational breweries:
- Alwar (Rajasthan)
- Aurangabad (Maharashtra)(both of which started in the summer of 2008)
- the former Hacke-Beck brewery in Paonta Sahib (Himachal Pradesh) (where brewing commenced in July 2007)
- Kolkata (West Bengal) opened in September 2009
- Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) opened in December 2010
Carlsberg India Pvt. Ltd. currently employs over 700 people and is headed by Søren Lauridsen.
Brands include Wusu (Northwest China) and Halida Beer (Vietnam).
Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Berhad (Carlsberg Malaysia) incorporated in December 1969. It began brewing Carlsberg Green Label locally in 1972. Since then, the brand has become one of the leading beer brands with more than a 50% share of the Malaysian market. It manufactures and distribute beer, stout and other beverages mainly in the domestic market and has investments in Sri Lanka, Singapore and in a Malaysian alcoholic beverage company.
Brands under Calrsberg Malaysia include Carlsberg Green Label, Carlsberg Gold, Carlsberg Special Brew, Kronenbourg 1664, Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc, Asahi Super Dry, Somersby Apple Cider, SKOL beer, SKOL Super beer, Danish Royal Stout, Corona Extra, Jolly Shandy Lemon and as well as non-alcoholic Nutrimalt drink.

In January 2013, Carlsberg announced the formation of a joint venture with the Myanmar Golden Star (MGS) group to establish a beer production facility in the Bago Industrial Zone, about an hour's drive from Yangon, Myanmar. Carlsberg will hold a majority 51 per cent stake in the venture and will provide seed capital in the range of $35 million to $50 million, with construction slated to commence in February. [23]
Singha beer will be produced from Carlsberg's Russian plant for distribution in European markets. The production would start from March 2013.[24]
Carlsberg is a 5% abv pale lager with a global distribution; marketed as Carlsberg Export in the UK[25] (and brewed to a strength of 4.8% in that market) to avoid confusion with the UK Carlsberg lager which is brewed at 3.8% abv.[26] (also called Carlsberg Lager, Carlsberg Beer and Carlsberg Pilsner). A 3.8% – 5% abv pale lager, first brewed in 1904.[27] In Denmark the beer is often known as Hof (court) due to its Royal Warrant. This nickname was adopted into the brand in 1931 but discontinued in Denmark in 1991. The term is still used in other markets such as Sweden.[28]
Special Brew[edit]
Special Brew is a strong lager brewed in Denmark and the United Kingdom. It was initially brewed by Carlsberg to commemorate a visit to Denmark by Winston Churchill in 1950.[29] In May 1951 two crates were delivered to Churchill's London home. In a thank you letter Churchill called the drink "Commemoration Lager". In Denmark the drink was called Påskebryg (Easter Brew), but the Easter Brew has been replaced by a weaker beer (Carls Påske). For the British market Carlsberg called the drink Special Brew and production was started in Northampton in the 1950s.
At 9% alcohol, Special Brew is part of a group of strong lagers that are termed "super-strength" in the UK and malt liquor in the USA. This beer is associated with street alcoholics.[30]
Elephant beer[edit]
In 1901, on brewer Carl Jacobsen's initiative, the Architect Professor J. L. Dahlerup created a tower resting on four elephants carved in granite from the Danish island Bornholm. Brewer Jacobsen was inspired by this gate by the obelisk supporting elephant on the Piazza della Minerva in Rome.[31] The four elephants each bear the initial of one of Carl Jacobsen's four children: Theodora, Paula, Helge and Vagn. This became known as The Elephant Gate and is a landmark entrance to the brewery. To the west of the gate, Carl Jacobsen's motto was inscribed: Laboremus pro Patria (Let us work for our country). Since then the Elephant has been a famous part of the Carlsberg Family, especially after the strong Elephant Beer was created in 1955 under the name "Export Lager Beer" and featuring the Elephant label. The Elephant is still brewed in Carlsberg Breweries in Copenhagen and exported around the world. A few markets brew their own Carlsberg Elephant beer locally according to the original recipe.
Other beers[edit]
- Lav (Serbia)
- Lvivske (Ukraine)
- Mythos (Greece)
- Pan (Croatia)

In total, Carlsberg Group brews more than 500 different beers. A selection of brands brewed by breweries owned by Carlsberg Group.
Visitors Centre[edit]
The Carlsberg Visitors Centre is located at 11 Gamle Carlsberg Vej, 2500 Valby, Denmark at the location of the first Carlsberg Brewery. In the courtyard is a smaller replica of the Little Mermaid Statue that Carl Jacobsen donated to Copenhagen. Also located in connection with the Carlsberg visitors Centre is the Jacobsen House Brewery, a micro brewery creating the Jacobsen speciality range of hand-crafted beers.[32] The entry ticket includes a free drink at the bar. The center can be reached by bus no. 18 or 26 from downtown Copenhagen.[33]
Carlsberg's tagline "Probably the best beer in the world" was created in 1973 by Saatchi and Saatchi for the UK market. It began to appear in company corporate ads around the world from the 1980s onwards until it was replaced in 2011 in most regions by new tagline "That calls for a Carlsberg".[34] The voice over for the original ad in 1975 was voiced by actor Orson Welles,[35] his voice has been used repeatedly over the years. The Canadian-born voice-over artist Bill Mitchell was also used when hiring Orson Welles became too expensive. In some countries the tagline has been adapted to "Probably the best lager in the world".[36]
Carlsberg was featured in the film Ice Cold in Alex (not, however, in the book on which the film was based) as the lager the main cast get to drink after driving across the desert. Lines from the film gave rise to one of Carlsberg's best known advertising slogans in the UK: "worth waiting for".
Carlsberg has been criticised of breaking their own code of conduct for alcohol advertisement in Malawi.[37]
In 2011, "That calls for a Carlsberg" was introduced as the new Carlsberg tagline and has appeared in various television adverts since.[38] The new-look marketing campaign was rolled out across 140 markets and included a new 30-second TV ad called 'Spaceman'. The company wants to boost sales in Asia and the Far East, but there were fears that 'probably' was too subtle as a tagline. [39][40]
Sponsorships from Carlsberg comes in two forms, sharply separated: either from the Carlsberg Brewery as part of their commercial campaigns, or as significant contributions to arts and sciences via the Carlsberg Foundation (who owns the brewery).
Carlsberg Brewery was one of the major sponsors of Euro 2008 and also Euro 2012. Carlsberg was one of the major sponsors of the 2004 European Football Championship and use the promotional slogan "probably the best lager in the world"; they were also a sponsor of the 1990 FIFA World Cup. Carlsberg were best known in the UK as the main and shirt sponsors of Liverpool F.C. having sponsored the club from 1992 until 2010. With Liverpool being the only UK city exhibiting at the World Expo in Shanghai – its twin city, the Carlsberg logo on the Liverpool F.C jersey was written in Chinese for the league match against Chelsea F.C on May 2, 2010. Carlsberg also sponsor F.C. Copenhagen, Havant and Waterlooville, Odense Boldklub, Pirin Blagoevgrad and are also the secondary sponsor (after Eircom) of the Republic of Ireland national football team and Tottenham Hotspur F.C.. Carlsberg also sponsors other sport events, such as golf and skiing. On 13 July 2011 Carlsberg signed sponsorship contract with Hajduk Split. As of August 2011 Carlsberg also became Arsenal F.C's official beer sponsor. Carlsberg has also sponsored the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens in 2011. Carlsberg was also the sponsor of the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kings XI Punjab in season 4 of the league, with its logo appearing on the caps and helmets of the team.
Legendary goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel is the first ever World Wide ambassador for Carlsberg. The cooperation started in 2012, with Schmeichel active around the Euro 2012 for Carlsberg.
The Institute of Theoretical Physics (also known as the "Niels Bohr Institute") in Copenhagen, which was one of the leading international centers for theoretical physics during the 1920s and 1930s and is said to be the birthplace of quantum mechanics, was created in 1921 with significant funding from the Carlsberg Foundation.

Given its premise, Google plans to aim their featherweight OS at netbooks at least, initially. They claim to be working with several OEMs to bring Chrome OS-bearing netbooks to market as early as the second half of 2010. The project is fully open source, and its code will be released in the coming months. Chrome OS will run on x86 and ARM chips.
Naturally, this poses a threat to Microsoft as both companies are already strong competitors in various arenas; search, webmail, browsers, mobile operating systems and so on. Redmond, too, has intentions on making its latest OS, Windows 7, available on netbooks and Im sure you recall Windows XP showing Linux to the door.
Google has a fantastic opportunity to fix something that is often cited as the pitfall of mainstream Linux distros; they can make Chrome OS easy to use. Im not sitting cross-legged on a mountain - and Im not computer stupid - but every time I dabble with Linux, Im put off by the learning curve. Heres to wishing Google the best of luck.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
a bit of competition might make MS loosen the restrictions on the netbook versions of windows 7. on the other hand, a simplified net-centric OS linked to the cloud applications run by google wont keep me in a support job for long..
I agree - I've tried Linux 5 or 6 times over the years, even working in it once for 6 months, but always went regretfully back to Windows. Even on this pig of a Vista 64 os I'm stuck with on my current machine, it simply runs some essential tools better and with less hassle. (The Win7 RC wouldn't install, a problem I found that others also had.) But if I could find a clean and fast non-pig os for this machine... oh hell, yes. I'd give it a try.
This is gonna be interesting. I'll be anxiously watching the development from the peanut gallery.
hopefully it'll have good portability and support for the things that keep dragging me back to windows: video games (mostly) and the fact that windows can support just about any app out there. If Chrome os can take care of that, then i'll completely convert. In Chrome OS we Trust.
How does one compete against a "free" product?
As much as I like and enjoy using its products though I have been using Bing (faster) and Ask (more relevant) a lot more lately, Google is using its monopolistic position in advertising, search and general Web services to put Microsoft out of business. And that is illegal.
Having a presence on the Apple board and working with Microsoft's customers (PC makers) against Microsoft, is conspiracy in the real sense and should bring a RICO allegation against Google and its collaborators. What Google is doing sounds a lot like what Intel gets in trouble for a lot. Where is the outrage against Google?
Everyone loves Google. Everyone loves Warren Buffet. If Buffett started building cars, better cars maybe, maybe not and giving them away with the hope and goal of dominating the market for his insurance businesses, would that be fair competition to Ford?
People refer to the "Microsoft tax", give me a break. When Google realizes its goal of dominating the Web experience, everyone, even those who never use a computer or the Internet, will pay a "Google tax" passed on to consumers by advertisers of all manner of goods and services because they will have pay the Troll whatever it demands to play in it's G-Space.
All that said, I'll give it a try. Microsoft, listen up.
There are millions of PCs out there. Offer retail copies of an OS for 49.99 (dollars or pounds depending on what side of the atlantic) and it will sell. Try to sell it for hundreds like they will with the retail copies once the pre orders are done with and thats where people will switch to a Google OS. People dont expect a free microsoft operating system (and i wouldnt want to run one stuffed with adverts to compensate) but with so many PCs out there, dropping the price to something like the pre order prices permanently must be a winner. For every retail copy that sells for 150 pounds and gets 1 person using Windows, you could sell to 3 people and get them using it, and they wouldnt feel ripped off since they just paid a little more than the price of a console game for their operating system.
Sounds interesting, it'll be cool to see what happens with this. Especially since netbooks are primarily web driven as you said and Google does that very well. But personally I'd rather have something not Microsoft/Google related for various reasons =/ while I enjoy Linux I do agree it just isn't as obvious and easy as Windows.
I'm just glad an outfit with some reasonable clout and backing resource is stepping up to give MS some competition (or at the least get their attention). Wether anyone from MS wants to admit it or not, they do have the market cornered, they do have a "monopoly". Hell, even some diehard Linux users will admit they (from time to time) have to use MS OSes just to get things done.
Thanks Google for throwing your hat into the ring and good luck. Market competition is the best thing for all of us.
Wow, I have a hard time seeing anyone try to defend MS from Google... I mean, wasn't MS the one involved in tons of anti-trust suits for their forced preferential treatment of IE over other browsers? And how can you fault Google in comparison, when the mighty Gates himself bragged that his goal was to have his operating system on every PC in the world? Doesn't MS have a history of creating new craptacular operating systems and shoving them down consumer throats just to create a revenue stream to help fund the hungry juggernaut they have become? And Google having a share in Apple... Gee, that just means they aren't bowing to the mighty MS and actually are supporting some diversity in the market, which MS would love to squash.
Hell, if anything, Google has learned from the master about attempting world domination, and is applying what they have learned.
Me, I'm looking forward to what sounds like a simplified and optimized OS, which is everything Windows is not. Should be interesting.
Whoa, I heard that they denied rumors of making an OS a few years ago when Chrome came out. Did the success of their browser make them just decide to make an OS distro, or was this already in the works?
At this point and time, I consider Microsoft to be the underdog and google to be the massive power hungry corporation. It seems every week, I am becoming more and more anti-google. It'd be sad if that makes me become pro-microsoft.
This is a big story, I can't see it taking off. If google was to release an OS I doubt it will gain more than 1% market share, People will play around with, discover only google earth and other google soft work and change back to MS. I as a PC gamer Doubt any PC game, Or Design software would work on this OS. I also Doubt many Software developers will support Google Chrome OS as a platform.
I think it will be great for people who just browse the web, they said they wanted to keep it simple to use, this to me shows they are going to aim it people who only browse the web and do simple tasks like social networking and watching the odd online video. I would not like to say I am Pro Microsoft but I don't think MS have to worry at all about this. We are ready have linux and ubuntu as choices for free OS. Now we are getting another free OS.
I will download the OS and give it a try as soon as I can get my hands on it. but I repeat what I have said, I want compatibility, if my software does not work, I am not interested. Note: I have not check for spelling.
Like gobbybobby, the gaming issue is one of my worries. However, there are 2 possible scenarios where Google could come out strong on this front. The first is the massive growing wave of flash and java games out there, which something like a Chrome OS should be able to handle easily (and much more efficiently than a bloated internet browser on top of a bloated OS).
But seriously, Google could make a huge leap into a stable, solid, low-profile game-friendly OS. Think the Xbox or PS3 OS, on a PC. Lots of us have been pointing out how effective a gaming platform based on Linux could be, with its optimized and minimalistic driver architecture... But there's never been enough push behind the Linux crowd to get something moving. Imagine if Google put their clout behind something like that... Hmmmmmmmm.
Vrmithrax, I agree If google could create a gaming freindly OS that would be great. With windows, crashing is a big issues. Games crash... ALOT. Fallout 3 as prime example. I downloaded it to windows 7, It crashed every 5 mins. So I copyed it to vista, Got alot further in the game, but every now and then it will still crash, Is that the game, or the OS. Unrea Tornament 3. The game will crash if minimized on windows Vista, but its fine tabbing in and out on Win 7 and XP. hmm. Thats Vista. EVE Online. Games that work with no issues. EVE online, Works fine.. never crashed.
I use steam. I get my games from Steam, I add games not on steam to steam so I can still access the community whilst playing. Steam has a great simple to use interface whilst still having a professional look. I don't want to have an OS that looks like a calculator with the huge buttons aimed at 5 year olds. While they say they are going for the easy approach, will it truly be easy. You are gonna get the same errors as windows. What will google have when it goes wrong. Will there be a Blue Screen with lines of code that people can't understand. I think it will. (well maybe not Blue)
PC gaming is a can be a pain in the a** when things go wrong, and don't work or freeze. I think that MS should work with PC game developers. Fallout 3 is a games for windows game. Why does it not work on windows then???
Games are what makes Windows unstable... Vista and 7 have never crashed on me outside of a few select crappily coded games. The one thing guaranteed to have more errors in coding than Windows are the games you play on it. They rush it out the door, so you have to deal with it until its patched.
As for this OS, I'm not too sure. I'm rather happy with the Linux I use right now. Unless this is an OSX style project where its basically built upon it and looks and works entirely different, then I may gain some interest.
tengeta not 1 game crash? what games do play? I find Vista to be much more unstable game wise than XP. 7 Is an improvement but I was shocked that Fallout 3 did not work. I immediantly saw other steam users reporting the same problem on a game thats been out for a while and has been patched, ''some people have isssues'' ''some people do not'' is what one person said on the thread I Viewed. You may be one of the lucky ones that have no issues. U play fallout 3?
I love stories like this, bottom line guys, they compete we get better products and cheaper prices...come on, who can argue with that.
gobby, I bet it is some obscure driver issue that Vista/7 has yet to resolve. A few weeks ago I was constantly and consistently crashing within 5 minutes of any game I played (Crysis/Warhead, Gears of War, BF2/2142, CoD4/5, UT3, several titles through Steam), even crashed within 5 minutes of OCCT and 3D Mark. I thought my video cards were crappin out. Then out of the blue, I started to play Warhead through my external speakers (usually I play with a Logitech USB headset)...not one crash. Played other games...not one crash. Switched back to the headset...crash city. There are no drivers for the headset provided by Logitech, it just uses the OSes USB drivers. No other USB device causes crashes, just the headset. Never did that with Xp. Go figure.
But anyway (back on topic) Google having a gaming friendly OS that works with current and future titles would certainly open a potentially lucrative door. I'd agree with you in that an OS by Google would likely get a small share of the market UNLESS their OS was compatible with what Windows runs...gonna be a pretty tough task for them to pull off.
Damn, this sounds pretty sweet, especially for $49.99! Over here in the UK hopefully that'll be even cheaper! *crosses fingers*
Well I use Headphones, but not USB onses so I doubt my problem is there.. U got COD4/5 on steam.. there should be a Y is it still so expensive on there thread....
Yea Mycologist sounds cheap. Thats only if u pre order and the price wil go up after release. Clever really. If people pre order an upgrade then other peole are likely to buy the OS at full proce after its released. ''I bet it is some obscure driver issue'' Yer I think it is.. When I got the PC, I used wireless, but then I wanted to bridge my xbox over so I did not have to buy wireless thing. It would Blue screen as soon as I plugged it in! Turned out to be the LAN ports driver. I will try re-installing all the drivers and making sure they are updated. I have got lazy since I got Vista, it did most of the work for me!
I wonder if they'll start writing a kernel from the ground up. If I was them I'd just mask it all using linux, but if it's chrome that they're aiming for, this might be the desktop version of the netbook OS Moblin that they're going for.
Will Google get slapped a class action suit if they don't include other browsers like Firefox or IE? If Microsoft is going to get slapped, let's not be biased.
I really can't believe what i'm hearing! are you old enough to remember the days when there were 2 web browsers - ie and netscape? some web functions worked better with ie, others with netscape. so what did MS do? they bought out netscape, folded all the good the good stuff into ie and then shelved it. they did the same with just about everything else that worked sans-microsoft and folded them all into windows. That's how they got to where they are today.
And you think we should give a tinkers-damn about what's fare in Redmond?

Wow, even a typically anti-Microsoft guy like me has to rectify the phenomenally incorrect history lesson there... Microsoft at no time ever owned Netscape. Netscape slowly lost ground to IE because they did not have the massive resources that MS did, even though the Netscape crew were the ones that developed the still-used SSL protocols. They pushed for an investigation of unfair business practices on MS, which resulted in an anti-trust lawsuit over preferential browser treatment, but even that couldn't save them.
Netscape began an open source project called <drum roll please> Mozilla, around the time they were bought out by AOL, who really did nothing to push advances in the Netscape platform. Netscape's browser died of attrition and stagnation, not because MS shelved it. If MS had truly been involved as you initially indicated, I wouldn't be typing this in Firefox right now.
When Apple moved to the Intel platform for its Macs, I thought for SURE they'd finally release a version of the MacOS... an already tested and established OS with huge support base... that would run on any Intel based PC.
I have no clue why they never did. Software is MUCH cheaper to develop & sell than hardware with a MUCH higher profit margin.
Various flavors of Linux have been around for years, and I keep a partition with Ubuntu on it for those rare times disaster strikes my Windows setup. But as good as Ubuntu is, it just doesn't match the ease of use of Windows (still using XP with no intention of moving anytime soon.)

There's several reasons why this never happened. The primary reason is that Apple likes its elite niche, and is a hardware OEM first and foremost. The OS and software products they develop are basically intended to make the users of their proprietary hardware happy, and maybe sell more hardware. If they drop an OS on the general computing public, there is no push to sell their hardware if it works fine on a standard PC, and it just massively increases their support structure that has to be in place - remember, they control the hardware on their stuff, but the PC market is a wild hodge-podge of infinitely variable hardware combinations, making support exponentially more difficult in many cases.
Apple has figured out its niche, its roll in the market, and is happy with it. They are the cool crowd, with strong stable hardware products and the occasional "wow" factor, and they make plenty of money doing waht they do. To try to throw their hat into the ring directly against Windows would just defeat their strategy.
Google's OS will never be a gaming OS, at least not for many many years. Look how hard it is to get game developers to release games on linux or OS X and those are pretty established (albeit small) markets. Google's OS won't get more adoption than linux and OS X.

A new map may explain why some brain injuries are worse than others. Even relatively minor injuries that disrupt message superhighways may have a more devastating impact than some seemingly catastrophic injuries.'Crazy' ant fight
By neutralizing the poison produced by fire ants, 'crazy' ants can survive heated battles. And that may help explain why crazy ants are edging out fire ants in parts of the southern United States.Flower loss doomed the mammoths
Woolly mammoths roamed the Arctic until about 10,000 years ago. Why they died out may trace to the vanishing of the mostly flowering plants on which they had been dining.When a nut allergy comes back
Eating small amounts of peanuts may help people overcome an allergy to the food. But for most people undergoing the treatment, its benefits vanish after they stop eating peanuts.Birds versus windows
Buildings in the United States can be deadly obstacles to flying birds. A new study estimates that as many as 1 billion birds die every year after colliding with windows. And low buildings — not skyscrapers — account for most of those deaths.Closing in on fusion energy
Scientists blasted a tiny capsule of hydrogen with laser beams, setting off a reaction that released more energy than in earlier experiments. Still, scientists remain a long way from creating a reaction that releases more energy than it needs to get started.New evidence of a wet Mars

It wobbles but it doesn't fall over
While there are some fancy wine bottles out there, decanting your wine into the right carafe can make a statement. The Rocking Carafe, made by Sagaform, definitely falls into that category: it's a hand-blown glass carafe that can rock back and forth while you appreciate you wine. As long as the carafe is set on its accompanying silicone stand, it won't tip over or roll away. There's a reason behind the style incorporating a unique, rounded base, rather than a flat base, though. The large base allows for maximum wine oxygenation, while the neck is designed to … Read more

My Gosh, Florida is in the SEC, what a JOKE. The SEC is a joke and anyone who wants a degree worth anything will not choose an SEC school over Michigan. Except for Vanderbilt not one SEC school holds a candle.
Now do not get me wrong, I had 6 classes through Bama while in the Military in the early 70's in Florida. I received a great education in those classes. But they did not hold a candle to the classes at Michigan. Michigan has a much higher standard. Athletes in the SEC WILL NOT take the more difficult classes.
While in contrast at Michigan there have been MANY athletes who have taken 5 year programs as an athlete and completed them in 4 years. ZThe pre-med, engineering and Biology programs are not easy for regular students, but MANY athletes at Michigan have been very successful in these programs.
This class will blow many minds as they enroll and are successful in their field of study.

When choosing a school you need to look at the whole picture. I would much rather go to a school that isn't ranked as highly academically that I feel comfortable at then go to a "better school" and be miserable for the next 4 years. We are spoiled because Michigan is such a great university and held in high regard academically but that doesn't mean it is for everybody.
Furthermore not all college athletes care about getting a degree. I am not implying that is the case for Dawson FWIW.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Dan Lutz, 347.835.3429
LATHAM, August 16, 2012 — Mt. Vernon Hospital could close any day, nurses warn. They will call for immediate action to save the hospital at a press conference in front of the hospital, 12 North Seventh Ave., Mt. Vernon, N.Y. this Monday, August 20, at 9:00 AM.
Nurses say the hospital is in crisis:
At last count the hospital was down to just 17 patients.
The hospital provides critical Emergency Room and other services for the Mt. Vernon area.
Nurses say the state of New York and local officials need to step in to save the hospital. Their union, the New York State Nurses Association, is calling on CEO John Spicer to resign.
Last Friday, hospital Chief Financial Officer Al Farino resigned.
"We are proud of our hospital and the work we do," said Tracey McCook, a registered nurse at the hospital. "We will do everything in our power to keep the doors open and serve this community."
The New York State Nurses Association is the voice for nursing in the Empire State. With more than 37,000 members, it is New York's largest professional association and union for registered nurses. The association represents registered nurses, and some all-professional bargaining units, in New York and New Jersey. It supports nurses and nursing practice through education, research, legislative advocacy, and collective bargaining.

Virginia Lee Sprague of Intrinsic Touch Massage Therapy believes a truly therapeutic massage should mold to the client's particular desires and change to address specific concerns. This principle has guided her throughout a 23-year career, inspiring her to customize each session to weed out deep-rooted knots or de-stress bodies with long, fluid strokes. She relies on a vast repertoire, utilizing acupressure, reflexology, and trigger-point strokes and switching from one methodology to the next for an experience more indulgent than a dip in Donald Trump's coin-filled pool.
Just as a doctor's office isn't typically furnished with a stylish chaise lounge and a matching plush sofa, spas don't typically have experienced MDs at their helm. Medical Day Spa of Chapel Hill, however, has both of these things. It's combined the best of both worlds so that its clients can have all the luxuries and attention that come with a spa, but also the therapeutic power of medical-grade treatments.
It's no surprise then that the staff is an eclectic group. The team consists of two physicians, three registered nurses, certified massage therapists, and licensed nail technicians who, together, offer a rich menu of services ranging from laser skin resurfacing to Shellac manicures. The spa also boasts a convenient location just off Franklin Street and the 15-501 bypass, making it easily accessible by car, on foot, or on a bicycle being pulled by a trained pack of squirrels.
At Aria Skin and Laser Spa in Chapel Hill and Somalase in Sanford, Medical Director Dr. Ajay Ajmani oversees a team of tech-savvy aestheticians who beautify and protect the epidermis with facials, laser treatments, and massages. During microdermabrasions, a skilled technician employs a diamond tip to control the seven seas and exfoliate the upper strata of damaged skin, revealing a youthful acreage of epidermis. Laser treatments for pigmentation correction, hair removal, and skin tightening enlist powerful YAG lasers to beautify the epidermis. Facials reinvigorate visages with an eye treatment, custom mask, neck-and-hand massage, moisturizer, and a restraining order against the sun.
Since 1988, clients have visited Flawless Day Spa for custom skincare treatments that utilize a Hungarian product line made with organic fruits, herbs, and spices. Inside recently renovated treatment rooms, highly trained aestheticians rejuvenate faces with services ranging from facials to chemical peels to lash- and brow-tinting. Guests also relax atop cloth-garbed treatment tables during massages, which can run up to 120 minutes and incorporate techniques from modalities including aromatherapy, Thai yoga stretching, and acupressure.
A serene environment greets guests at The Remedy Allure Hair & Body Spa, where skilled techs and stylists elevate hair and skin from standard to stunning. Services range from a simple cut and blow-dry to garlic and shea butter treatments. The salon also offers specialized wedding packages, including hair, makeup, and on-location touchups for the bride-to-be.

Boston launches pothole patrol through city
The constant plow runs and harsh winter – along with some warmer days – have not been kind to Boston's roadways.
Potholes have popped up throughout the city as they tend to do this time of year. They are a nuisance to drivers and pain to cars.
But the city recently launched its "pothole patrol" in an effort to combat the pesky problem.
Public Works crews were out in the South End today filling the holes.
With more snow expected this weekend and weeks of winter left to go, the "pothole patrol" will likely have to keep watch.

Video: A Nanotech Treatment For Your Phone Lets It Survive Dunking In Water
Water and personal electronics are probably the two most essential elements in this modern life, yet the two don't get along very well at all. Drop your Blackberry in the drink--or even simply spill your coffee on it--and often enough that's the end of your device. A California-based company called Liquipel feels your pain, and has devised a clever nanotech solution to the water-meets-brand-new-iPhone problem via a thin, clear coating that causes water to wick right off the guts of your gadgets.
Liquipel--that's the name of both the company and the product--covers devices inside and out with a transparent coating thinner than a human hair that causes water to bead right off their previously moisture-sensitive elements. Properly sealed up with Liquipel, the company claims a smartphone can survive full submergence in water. And just to prove the point, you can see a new Liquipel-treated iPhone 4S back up that claim in the video below.
Liquipel is at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week hoping to talk some major electronics manufacturers into pre-treating their consumer electronics with its coating before the devices hit store shelves. But if you've already got a device you're attached to, Liquipel will happily coat it for you. Smartphone treatments start at 60 bucks--that's not so bad to insure that your texting-over-the-toilet debacle doesn't result in another $400 trip to the Apple Store.
The phone is fully submerged in the water and continues to run the entire time. He takes it out of the water and switches screens a few times then drops it back into the water.
So to answer your question your iphone can now be an underwater camera.
as to my understanding they are coated with a non corrosive something or other...the main reason I never tried submerging my phone is just as you mentioned the connectors because if those corrode is all over no matter how water prove your phone is....as far as the audio its some of the best I have ever had on a phone very clear and crisp and the camera works great...I saw a youtube video of a guy that was taking pictures with his droid razr under water was pretty cool
while corrosion would be a problem, I think that the connectors can be treated with this stuff too. actually, you would HAVE to be able to coat the connectors, otherwise the waterproofing was pointless.
why learn from your own mistakes, when you could learn from the mistakes of others?
"The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible" -Albert Ein
My specific question, being a computer tech, and I am aware this won't matter quite so much with phones, but how does this effect heating and cooling? If someone were to do this with a laptop of decent specs, would this overheat it?
So how do you apply this product? Do you spray it around like aerosol? Is it biologically safe? Can I spray my clothes, or anything else I could think of, with this product and make it waterproof too?
How do you scrub it off when you accidentally sprayed stuff you shouldn't have, and does the coating degrade over time forcing you to reapply the coating?
NeverWet is far superior to this stuff. From the looks of it, with Liquipel, the phone is still somewhat wet, just kept from touching water too much, more like RainEx or however it's spelled. With NeverWet, it's literally impossible for water to touch the treated item. It rolls off like nobody's business. Way better than this.
I got Liquipel on my iPhone 4 back in June and it's saved it from getting destroyed at least three times. I even dropped it in a bubbling jacuzzi and it survived. I've been a believer ever since. You can't tell anything has been done to it either, it comes back all clean in a nice metal container with a microfiber pouch. None of the water sensor stickers changed color when it got wet so even if it fails I can get a new phone from Apple. All in all I'd say its worth the $59. You no longer have to worry about losing a phone over a spilled drink or a little rain. Just makes you feel good.
Liquipel is going to be at CES again this year can't wait to check out the show, I hear rumors of a machine doing free treatments at the show. Heck yeah!

Mirrors from Dunelm Mill
Mirrors are a beautiful product, both practical and stylish; they have the ability to totally transform any room in an instant. Mirrors reflect the light and decor of a room creating an increased feeling of space. In darker rooms, try placing a mirror in a position that will catch the light from a window, this will help to increase the amount of natural light in your room and hopefully reduce the need to use artificial lights. Mirrors are also a great addition to narrow corridors or landings as they can help to create the illusion of space in these traditionally small areas.
Mirror Range
Here at Dunelm Mill we specialise in both traditional and contemporary mirrors all in a variety of shapes and sizes. Mirrors are a product that can be used in every single room of the home; bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms and even halls. The broad use of mirrors in the home means that it is vital that you choose the most suitable style. We have a wide variety of mirror styles available, below are a selection of our most popular.
- Full length mirrors
- Framed Mirrors
- Bevelled Mirrors
- Table top Mirrors
- Florence Collection Triple Mirror
Benefits of Mirrors
Many people consider mirrors to be a purely functional product. However, this is far from the truth at Dunelm Mill. Our collection of mirrors come in a wide range of shapes and sizes each of which have their own characteristics, be it simple and sophisticated, stylish and ornate or even decorative and colourful, these days, mirrors are far from being solely a practical item. As well as being a big hit in the interior design market, mirrors have many other benefits, some of which are listed below.
- Adds a sense of light and space to any room
- Adds a touch of personality to a room
- Practical; can be used to check your appearance

"Don't rely on free traffic" is easy to say - but that's only possible for some business models. E-commerce can certainly work with paid traffic - but information publishing funded by advertising can't (in most niches):
As a publisher you simply can't afford to pay to create great content, then pay for visitors to come and consume it for free, in the hope that 2% of them will click an ad - unless you've got amazing visitor retention, the figures just won't work.
I'm starting to see why so many people here 'lose everything' when their free traffic goes away, but I also don't know of anyone in the 'real business world' who would invest in a 'business' that wanted to build a site that totally relies on free traffic without any plan (or hope) for long-term sustainability if that free traffic goes away ... What's described above doesn't really sound like a business to me.
(I'm not trying to pick on anyone, it's just a good example of the difference in how some of us think.)
One interesting thing I was thinking last night is Google, Apple, Nike and some others I'm probably not remembering right now, all started in garages. Dell started in a dorm room ... They all took time, hard work, and (here's the kicker) Created Something People Liked and Wanted.
I really think the free traffic available from one source has made many think what they do is more important to other people than it really is, and, unfortunately it seems (to me at least) many have gotten 'caught up' in the idea that since a bunch of people visit for a while that means the site is 'important' to people when it's really could have been a different site or series of sites all along and the end user would have been equally as happy.
People visiting a site when it ranks at the top of the results doesn't necessarily mean it's 'needed' or 'important' to anyone else ... It's actually when it doesn't rank but previous visitors return and new people visit anyway you know it's important to people and you've really created something people like and want.
