Kuwait lessor takes Airbuses
Airbus took some of the sting out of its rival Boeing's blockbuster sales announcement yesterday with a pair of significant orders of its own for A350s and A320s.
The first, from Kuwaiti leasing company Alafco, involved a firm order for 12 of Airbus' A350-800s, due for first delivery in 2012. More unexpectedly, Airbus followed that conversion of a previously announced commitment with a firm order for six A320s from Jazeera Airways, the new low-fare airline that began operations less than a month ago from Kuwait International Airport.
Now flying two of the 165-seat, single-class-configured narrowbodies to Amman, Bahrain, Damascus, Beirut and Dubai, the Middle East's first privately owned airline plans to take another two of the airplanes next summer. By the time it accepts delivery of this latest order, it will have a uniform fleet of 10.
Airbus president and CEO Gustav Humbert and Jazeera chairman Marwan Boodai signed the firm order just an hour before the announcement right here at the show. "Mr. Boodai is fresh out of the oven," joked Humbert in reference to the sudden nature of the announcement.
Airbus' A350, meanwhile, gained some much needed traction in the Middle East with the Alafco deal, first disclosed during June's Paris Air Show. Alafco chairman Ahmad Al Zabin called the contract, which includes options for six more airplanes, a confirmation of his company's intention to grow "to a meaningful size." Although he said he hadn't yet signed a lessee, he remarked "we are talking to airlines about it." Airbus' schedules call for deliveries to start in the third quarter of 2012.
With the order, Alafco becomes the first leasing company to sign for the A350. "Leasing companies are always a good pointer to success, since their business is built around anticipating airline needs," said Humbert.

Here we report the effects of starvation and insect age on the diversity of gut microbiota of adult desert locusts, Schistocerca gregaria, using denaturing gradient gel electrophoretic (DGGE) analysis of bacterial 16S rRNA genes. Sequencing of excised DGGE bands revealed the presence of only one potentially novel uncultured member of the Gammaproteobacteria in the guts of fed, starved, young or old locusts. Most of the 16S rRNA gene sequences were closely related to known cultured bacterial species. DGGE profiles suggested that bacterial diversity increased with insect age and did not provide evidence for a characteristic locust gut bacterial community. Starved insects are often more prone to disease, probably because they compromise on immune defence. However, the increased diversity of Gammaproteobacteria in starved locusts shown here may improve defence against enteric threats because of the role of gut bacteria in colonization resistance.

Steve's Letter - September 2014
There is something quite irritating about a messy God. Messiahs don't wash feet, blow noses or struggle with sexual temptation. It's just not done…but Jesus did it. And in the doing of it changed everything we ever thought about God. God ran to us because we were too helpless, needy and sinful to run to him.Read More

At Montessori School Of Lefferts Garden Ii, Our multi-ethnic school is dedicated to the philosophy and methods that evolved with Dr.
Maria Montessori's experiences of learning that began in 1907 in her original Casa dei Bambini.
Our classroom experiences emphasize our teacher's role as facilitators who do not overpower the imagination and desire for creative exploration in our children.
Montessori-trained head teachers allow learning to move along natural pathways which embrace the students' interests and natural curiosity in five broad fields of learning: practical life, sensorial, mathematics, language, and cultural.
Upon graduation from LGM many of our children continue on to some of the best schools in Brooklyn: Packer Collegiate Institute, Brooklyn Friends School, Brooklyn Heights Montessori and Brooklyn magnet schools.
Lefferts Gardens Montessori School welcomes students of any race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin.
It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies and other school-administered programs.

"It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder." ~ Frederic Bastiat
Disaster Ignorance
"Here's a which-is-better question for you. Suppose a New Jersey motel room rented for $125 a night prior to Hurricane Sandy's devastation. When the hurricane hits, a husband, wife and their two youngsters might seek the comfort of renting two adjoining rooms. However, when they arrive at the motel, they find that rooms now rent for $250. At that price, they might decide to make do with one room. In my book, that would be wonderful. That decision would make a room available for another family who had to evacuate Sandy's wrath. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and others condemn this as price gouging, but I ask you: Which is preferable for a family seeking shelter -- a room available at $250 or a room unavailable at the pre-hurricane price of $125? It's not the intention of the motel owner to make a room available for another family. He just sees an opportunity to earn more money. It was not the intention of the family of four who made do with just one room to make a room available for another evacuating family. They are just trying to save money. Even though it was no one's intention to make that room available, the room was made available as if intended. That's the unappreciated benefit of freely fluctuating prices. They get people to do voluntarily what's in the social interest -- conserve on goods and services that have become scarce."

Marvel & DC in Near Dead Heat
In November Market Share
Published: 12/03/2010, Last Updated: 01/11/2011 02:24am
According to Diamond Comic Distributors, Marvel remained the top comic book publisher in November, but not by much. The "House of Ideas" posted a 34.45% dollar share of comics sold through DCD in November, while DC Comics was just a hair behind at 33.08%. Image Comics was a distant third with 5.68% followed by Dark Horse with 5.3%, IDW Publishing with 4.16%, Dynamite Entertainment with 4.0%, BOOM! Studios with 1.94%, Viz Media with 1.12%, Oni Press with .7%, and Avatar Press with .63%.
DC can thank the Caped Crusader for its strong showing, which closed the gap that typically separates the top two comic publishers. Led by Batman: The Return #1, which was the bestselling comic in November, DC grabbed eight of the top ten spots, with Batman titles responsible for five of the top ten. DC's Brightest Day event continues its strong showing with issues #13 and #14 both in the top ten along with the resurgent Green Lantern title, which is peaking just as excitement starts to grow for the June, 2011 release of the Green Lantern live-action movie.

A BMW 760LI with more than 10kg (22 pounds) of silver and costly German hand work: This is the most expensive BMW 7 Series car. The BMW Individual is the result of a cooperation between BMW and the German silver manufacturer Robbe & Berking. It stands for individualism, pure luxury and quality.
Car and Driver Contributing Editor Csaba Csere gives an in-depth review of the German-tuned 2013 BMW Alpina B7 on the latest episode of Car and Driver: Tested.
2012 was a busy year for BMW and saw the company introduce many models. These include the LCI 7 Series, 6 Series Gran Coupe, ActiveHybrid 5, F10 3 Series Sedan, F11 3 Series Touring, M135i hatchback, M Performance Automobiles, M6 Coupe and Convertible, and M6 Gran Coupe.
BMW revisits the 2012 year in this review video.
The 2013 Alpina B7, based on the refreshed 2013 7 Series, made its U.S. debut this week at the BMW press launch in Laguna Seca Raceway (along with the 2013 M5 and M6 coupe). This is the closest thing we'll get to an M7 or M Performance 7 Series (for now) and it was a beast on the track!
Our Track Review
It's a wholly physics defying experience accelerating a nearly 5000 pound car from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, handling corners at speed with little roll, and diving … CONTINUED
As a luxury car maker, BMW places heavy emphasis on the comfort technologies in its cars. Since the fifties, BMW engineers have worked to make driving each new BMW model more comfortable and an easier experience than before. Watch the evolution of comfort technologies in BMW automobiles in the video inside.
BMW's latest full-length global TV spot "Feeling Remains" captures the feeling of how driving a BMW never leaves you.
We have posted a few more hi-resolution videos of the new digital LCD instrument gauges display, navigation, and exterior and interior footage of the updated 2013 7 series LCI facelift.
Here's more coverage on the impressive BMW Alpina B7, courtesy of drivesTV. Judging by the video description, they had tons of fun: "Amazing that a four-door sedan can put a smile that big on your face. If only there were longer roads and fewer rules." Enjoy!
BMW has posted a video describing the philosophy and idea behind the special limited edition 7-series inspired by Steinway & Sons.

Customer ReviewsNo reviews exist for this item....
Great idea and serves it's purpose well.
Very nice
I went camping the day after I recieved my campfire cook set and really loved it. It worked great for me.
My husband tried this out at home before we went camping.... He loves it. It's very heavy and well made. The variety of lengths of the hanging hooks make it possible to move the cookware to various degrees of heat, either for rolling boil, a simmer, or just plain keeping something warm. I would recommend this campfire cookset as a must for anyone who camps regularly.
The cookset is awesome! It looks great and is of good quality. We are very satisfied with our order and it was shipped really fast. Thanks!

Microsoft: 'Facebook Home just copies Windows Phone'
'people' is not what I want from my phone
Long, long ago, I actually tried a small pile of apps/skins designed to aggregate communications and make contacts the centre of my Android phone. Hated them all. Disordered information overload getting in the way of using the stuff I want.
Today the Jelly Bean notification bar gets it about where I'm happy, by telling me there's all sorts of crap waiting, even putting them all in one place but crucially only bothering me with them when I choose to look. Then it fires up my chosen handler for each type instead of pretending one interface handles them all.
I know I'm at an extreme but I'm convinced the few that love the MS way are equally rare. Facebook are treading a dangerous path, 'people' is just one of the things smartphones do. In some cases one of the minor features ;)
Freeview telly test suggests 4G interference may not be a big deal
Re: I checked last week
...and replacing my Freeview equipment with Freesat equivalents will reach around £500+ even if I install it all myself, Freeview tuners are cheap, satellite not so... but I really hate climbing ladders, drilling holes in the building and pulling cable through an uncooperative building.
I don't think the rate they found counts as 'vanishingly rare' and I do question whether the test area is actually representative of real problem areas.
Where I live, on the boundary of 2 main transmitters coverage in the suburbs, after switchover and full power, reception is just possible without boosters. Just, on many days I have a couple of unusable muxes on Waltham. That's a high density of houses in a very problem area.
Also worth remembering there are likely to be amplifiers in any daisy chained devices - set top boxes with passthru to the TV for example. Wonder if any of them will get swamped, even with no aerial booster to blame?
Remember that until recently those 800Mhz frequencies were legitimate TV channels that amplifiers *should be amplifying*. Shitty or not, anything older than the freq reallocation announcement is legitimately designed to handle the 800Mhz 4G frequencies and these things last a long time. My last amp died last year in a thunderstorm after 10+ years.
What's depressing is boosters covering 470-862Mhz are still being sold.
Smartphone running 'Facebook OS' said to debut this week
Depends on what they remove or replace.
Sony Ericsson manage to infest their devices with FaceBook integration and multiple FB apps, multiple Sony owned app stores, customise many default apps and reskin the UI. But they remove nothing Google cares about - maps is still there, the Play Store is still preinstalled and so on.
Nokia rejected Android because G wouldn't let them *replace* Google Maps. At the time Orange had no problems shipping devices with their own maps app prominently displayed along with the full G package - crucially including G Maps.
It's so easy to replace or modify key parts of the system you don't even need to fork to heavily customise Android. That said I expect FB will fork to ensure they capture as much profit as possible. With every app store containing the same apps it wont be too hard populating a shiny new FB version and they won't even need to pressure devs to include FB support since every damn app I see seems infected already.
Review: Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2
It's a Win8 device. The pen is the after thought or more accurately the work around for an inprecise, work unfriendly touch interface.
Revisionism. Only works when everyone that lived through it is dead or senile. Come back in 50 years.
Re: muddying the waters with Windows RT
Bear in mind Intels persistent failure to deliver on power consumption promises. Even when they get close ARM moves ahead anyway. It's wasn't unreasonable for MS to target ARM, wouldn't stand a chance in mobile or basic tablet against IOS/Android, even in RT mode, the battery life isn't there yet and that was entirely predictable.
It's the idiotic and deliberately deceptive confusion created between ARM Win8 and x86 Win8 that needs questioning. ARM RT devices are necessarily crippled by having insufficient CPU power to emulate x86 support and with desktop mode denied to 3rd parties no apps will be recompiled for native ARM. Pretending they're more similar than the reality is a scummy marketing lie.
Next from Microsoft: 'Blue', the Windows 8 they hope you don't hate
Re: Wrong move
Ubuntu is not the solution. Microsoft are *following* it down the same hole Ubuntu has been digging, copying the same design errors, ignoring the same user complaints. Only ahead on deploying to phones, where Canonical are now chasing Microsoft despite the evidence WP is failing.
Both screwing their existing customer base.
Re: Start Menu?
Just tried it and as expected, it didn't bring up all the launch shortcuts my Classic Shell menu shows, most significantly it won't show the 'open on screen N' shortcut variants of my media apps.
Metro Start isn't just a deficient UI design, it's functionally inferior to the old Start Menu, which can take a wider variety of link types, is easier to edit and offers more control of launch properties.
"How many programs can a ARM toy tablet run at the same time?"
Why should your cheap, battery dependent, small screened, input deficient ARM toy dictate the behaviour of my high end, hex core, multimonitor, mains powered PC?
Microsoft cross promotional marketing requirements is not an acceptable answer.
Re: I don't miss the start menu
It's a reasonable position and you're doing nothing wrong. You don't need it, that's fine.
The retards who tell me I'm wrong for using it are the problem and unfortunately some of them work at Microsoft. Taking away features because only a minority use them is barely justifiable, taking them away when there's no need to do so at all is unbelievable.
Taking features away because it serves Microsoft marketing plans is simply abuse.
Re: desktop
WOW! Must have missed the bit where Metro apps now work on the desktop...
Win8 is a schizophrenic OS and MS will not maintain both halves of it. I have no intention of staying quiet while they let the half I need rot, however many halfwits they hire to shout for Metro.
Nanowires boost photovoltaics sunlight capture by 15X
Re: Not sure about this - a further thought
It looks like it's lensing the light in free air/vacuum onto the junction. That would give a small improvement over traditional lensing with glass or mirrors. The big gain would be concentrating light directly onto the junction from the sides without needing to penetrate layers of semiconductor.
Review: Sony Xperia Z
Re: "nobody else is doing high end waterproof phones right now"
Sony certainly do high end pricing however I don't believe they do real high end devices. More halfway between mid and high range with a hefty Sony branding tax.
They're firmly down in 5th place because few believe the Sony brand justifies a 10-20% premium.
Re: After so many many SE phones...
The innovation was last seen when they buried the R800 (Xperia Play) in a shallow grave...
Though I'm not convinced having around 14 unremovable apk's supporting FaceBook is innovation worth having ;)

Samsung's new co-CEO: 'Windows isn't selling very well'
It's hardly surprising there's so little difference between WP phones, the spec is tightly locked down by Microsoft. Specifically the software can have almost no customisation.
While I actually quite like the idea of near stock devices, phone makers put more into distinguishing their brand and individual devices by software than hardware spec (which is now less tightly specified by MS). Android sales show the public disagree with me, voting for variety over conformity. Meanwhile the carriers selling most devices simply can't resist messing with (and messing up) the software.
It's should surprise no-one that manufacturers and carriers aren't keen on a device so locked into Microsoft branding. Unlike iPhone they can afford to boycott it, to make half hearted designs to test the water (and fend off license blackmail over Android).
Samsung don't need these sales and the mainly "big screen+heavy skinning" strategy that got them to #1 in smartphone is a poor fit for WP license restrictions. HTC and Nokia are fighting for survival, they need to try harder - and it's winning them a bigger slice of a microscopic pie.
Microsoft Surface Pro sales CANNIBALIZING Surface RT
not cannibals
I too doubt there's much cannibalizing going on. IT insiders were already waiting for pro, I suspect 400k may seriously overestimate ingoing interest, with the fans now satiated.
The ordinary public meanwhile have seen RT and ignored it. All they know is Pro is heavier and more expensive. A few know RT is crippled a as a traditional Windows machine and will assume Pro is also. Microsoft's deliberate ploy to confuse RT and Pro versions is hurting them badly, not cannibalism but devaluing the entire product line to its LCD.
Smartphone users prefer LOVELY apps to fiddly mobe websites
Re: Apps > Sites
If I hadn't recently noticed a 475Mbyte browser cache folder when backing up my wifes phone I might have agreed with you. Haven't checked what mines using but I do know there's more free space available than I allow FireFox on my PC ;)
...and yet that huge cache still can't overcome the effect of terrible 3G latency, the real reason (along with the cost of data) most of us prefer apps over even the prettiest website.
Uni profs: Kids today could do with a bit of 'mind-crippling' COBOL
Re: Learning a language at uni for a job?
If a CS grad applies for a job and can't demonstrate the 'vocational skill' of actually being able to program well, they're screwed.
The reality is, picking up a new language is indeed not hard for a new grad. A new physics grad, a new maths grad, a new chemistry grad, any real science or engineering subject. And if we're going to have to train them all or give them all time to train themselves, the guy with the math skills is getting the job, not the CS grad.
The world needs many more competent programmers than computer scientists, a bit more vocational training would serve everyone better at undergrad level.
Dear Facebook: I heard the news today, oh boy
Re: Ponzi...
Up vote here if you don't have a fb account ;)
hope to get more people to hang around longer
I've lost count of the number of internet companies that tried creating portal pages we'd all be irresistable drawn to hang around on. It's a desperate plan that predates 56k dial-up and I don't remember it ever working.
The only advantage FB has is a service supposedly more addictive than crack. I suspect that won't work any more than it did in the early days, when the Internet itself was seen in much the same way.
Here's the $4.99 utility that might just have saved Windows 8
@Keith 72
My problem with Metro is that MS dethemed desktop mode to match it's fugly look and that materially affects its usability.
In Metro mode it really doesn't matter if you can't easily distinguish window borders, since you can have 1 or 2 of them in constant positions. On busy desktops it causes just enough confusion to annoy me.
In Metro having UI elements poorly marked on a monochrome background might work - you don't *need* to use scroll bars with touch for example. On the desktop it makes for a hard to use and headache creating mess.
My Win8 desktop became a whole lot more usable after installing the Royale 8 theme and restoring some sanity to the desktop chrome. Pity that takes hacking a 3rd party theme engine into Win8 and inevitably affecting stability.
Mark Shuttleworth: Canonical leads Ubuntu, not 'your whims'
leading down a sinkhole
Leadership is necessary but the destination it leads to is more important. Strong leaders can lead to disaster, mediocrity and irrelevance or more rarely, success.
Canonical has not been short on leadership, enough to lead Microsoft down the same dumbing down sinkhole with Win8. It's dangerously short on respect for those it leads and totally blind to criticism. Well on the way to irrelevance with hints of disaster thrown in.
Google, MPEG LA kiss and make up in WebM patent spat
hope we see the license deal
We can only hope the ongoing MS+Apple v Motorola+Google fight leads to MPEG LA being forced to reveal the licence terms, the same way they were forced to reveal Googles H264 licence. Not very likely though.
If it were anyone but Google I'd assume they'd just done the expedient thing of licensing regardless of the merits of MPEG LAs claims, to cut at least 3 years of damaging delay while grinding through the courts. Invalidating patents is neither cheap or quick sadly.
But it is Google and they don't normally roll over like that. I'd like to believe MPEG LA found just enough to cause problems but not enough to make Google worry or fight a cheap/free license. More realistically it's the shitty US patent regime and simply impossible to create anything new without patent challenges, however hard you try.
Redmond slashing Win8, Office OEM rates for small devices
Re: despite Microsoft offering customers deep discounts on Windows 8 upgrades
Pedants really need to remind themselves that MS have a long history of giving new names to old things, so they can 'own' them. Bring your MS<->rest of world phrase book to any MS story.
It's a practice IBM pioneered... so another thing MS didn't invent but 'borrowed' ;)

BlackBerry Z10: Prices pruned despite eager iPunter interest
Also doesn't tell you how many BB fans defected unwillingly for a better featured device and are returning in hope that BB is improved enough. That's likely to be a one off launch surge that will slow as the less keen wait out their contracts before deciding.
Given the removal of the dedicated messaging USP that may be a very small trickle of future returnees.
2nd quarter sales will be much more informative.
Judge slashes Apple's pile o' cash Samsung judgment
Re: bias or incompetence
Rather than bias, I see a judge who at every opportunity chose what would get the case off her docket quickly over what would best serve justice. US judges have discretion to relax rules, this one took every opportunity to impose them strictly, regardless of the effect.
Whether that reflects bias or just incompetence, it severely tilted advantage in the case unfairly. Given how well it served Apple's cause they wouldn't have complained and would have contributed to the appearance of pro Apple bias.
I see a judge that put more effort into coercing settlement talks than running a fair trial. It's now coming back to bite her.
I find it easier to believe she's begun to realise quite how badly she messed up the case. Koh is racing to undo some of the damage before a higher court does it for her. Judges really hate that and it does their future career no good.
Being independent is not really a good thing in the legal system, it leaves everyone wondering WTF's going on and opens the door to abuse by all parties. In this case abuse and error reached all the way into the jury room.

Be nice to see exhaustive search applied to more compressors, to see how far they converge on the same 'perfect' compression ratio. Or more immediately, all the PNG files on web recompressed, though the streamability requirement might limit the gain.
@Field Marshal CantReadALot
Did you even read the article? Is Slashdot having a holiday - we seem to be overrun with the 'can write but cant read' halfwits usually seen there.
Re: -bzip2/xzip is the way to go
On a completely arbitrary and wholly inappropriate dataset, using 7z, lzma2 did 2.8% better than bz2.
Neither of them will decompress with zlib and there's no realistic chance of updating enough of the worlds browsers with alternatives in a hurry - I imagine Microsoft would resist supporting bzip2 with a passion! We have universal zlib because PNG requires it (or a compatible implementation) and the permissive licence makes using real zlib a no brainer. Even for Microsoft ;)
There's no killer application to drive bzip, lzma2 or any other advanced compression. I expect someone to improve the compression speed pretty rapidly so it probably doesn't matter anyway.
Take that, freetards: First music sales uptick in over a decade
sales rise as DRM-free takes hold?
Surely no coincidence that download sales improve as more providers go DRM free.
It's not a connection the 'biz' will ever accept or even consider and happened despite them. The Apples & Amazons of the world might scare the hell out of the music cartels but are the only way their business model will ever be changed enough to save them.
Samsung Wallet
slavishly copies inspired by Apple Passbook
2 of them obviously more suitable
Pretty much what I expect to see from both Google and MS. The usual cryptic crap icon from Google I'd struggle to associate with it's function. A flat monochrome effort from MS (because that's this weeks 'design language') that eventually I'd learn to associate - but different more because that design language makes using images we might recognise bloody difficult.
Whether or not Samsung deliberately copied Apple, both efforts work so much better than the others Apple really shouldn't be allowed monopoly rights to pretty obvious imagery.
Apple patents situational awareness for oblivious fanbois

That Firefox OS mobe: The sorta phone left behind after a mugging
Re: Graph with *3* lines on it
WP - " a massive company backing it" with more 'form' for shafting it's collaborators than almost any other.
Microsofts size + Microsofts past behaviour + Microsofts total lack of monopoly leverage = Microsoft fail. It's too late for the industry to stop Google dictating terms to them, it's the perfect time to hobble Microsoft and they'd be idiots not to do that. Even if I agreed WP is good, good for business or desirable, having Microsoft in your market never is.
Firefox to spit out third-party cookies
Re: This isn't going to have the desired result
"1. A change in the definition of what is considered a third party cookie"
The current FF cookie blocking is worse than useless. Block them and some sites simply won't work, even if you allow it to ask for permission - the GAME website spreads it's load across multiple internal URLs and I never managed to get it to work. If a change can get the blocking to actually be controllable on most sites it might be worth turning back on.
What's rather more urgently needed is more effort to stop killing add-ons with every sodding FF update. That way I can stick with one cookie control solution without losing my permission settings. Not breaking existing addons has never been a priority with Mozilla though.

Hands-on with Ubuntu's rudimentary phone and tablet OS
Re: but puzzling nonetheless
It's seriously bizarre shipping even a demo/early preview with so few apps compiled for it.
If Canonical couldn't tweak a few of its own desktop apps enough to throw in, it raises serious questions about the whole desktop/tablet/phone OS compatibility message. At the very least it hints they've dumped the current desktop API and expect everyone to start again, with something so immature they can't use it themselves. Or if we're lucky they just shipped a preview as soon as it could boot a slideshow and many months before it's ready for anything.
Either way, this looks like a fscking stupid idea if they're trying to get app devs to jump aboard. I'd love to say Mozilla will do better but FF mobile has a bare addon store with bugger all compatibility with the desktop, so the same mistake being made there.
Google given more time to prove to Brussels it's NOT 'abusive' in search
WTF does market test mean here?
WTF does 'market test' mean in this context? Who decides what success means?
Given the bending over backwards demonstrated so far by insisting the complainants must be happy with any proposed solution, a fair guess would be it's only judged a success if Bing and the vertical search bottom feeders involved all see a substantial increase in traffic. But would that signify a consumer benefit or just distortion of the market in the other direction?
I sure as hell know which way Microsoft and Fairsearch will portray it and if change at Google doesn't push business their way that they will not accept that. I also know just how bad search will get if Google get hobbled down to their competitors woeful performance. It's near unusable already thanks to the SEO industry.
SimCity Classic
Re: Ahhhhh
This class of games feels too much like work and real work has a bigger pay off, one where the only micromanagement chores are keeping track of who's round it is ;)
Luckily there's an endless supply of no brain required shooters for me and game makers have helpfully started labelling their mind numbingly micromanaged games as 'deep' so I can avoid them easily!
Ad-titan Google blocks Adblock Plus in Android security tweak
don't expect any response from Google
Google did essentially the same to APN setting last year, blocking it on ICS and later. They have so far completely ignored all requests for some alternative solution, shown no interest at all in the apps it broke or the users it's inconvenienced. They didn't even list it as a change, just went ahead and quietly killed it.
They can make as much noise as they like, Google will not change this and it's unlikely they'll even read the complaints. It's the Google way, they don't do feedback from anything smaller than governments. And they don't pay much attention to governments.

Review: The ultimate Chromebook challenge
Re: Netbook 2.0?
...perhaps for all the same reasons MS shouldn't have produced a tablet?
Those of us wanting just the hardware without the OS are always going to be a tiny minority. However the general public happy with limited functionality are also getting the same better deal without the MS tax, an overhead that destroyed any price advantage netbooks had.
Netbook 2.0?
Really pleased you tested replacing the OS.
Google should be able to stop Microsoft doing to Chromebooks what it did to netbooks. Removing the MS taxes (software license+increased hardware requirements) might bring the cheap netbook market back to life, for those of us prepared to replace the OS.
Google misses privacy-policy deadline, incurs EU wrath
Have to wonder if Google believe the US government will ride to the rescue, just like their recent threats over 'right to be forgotten' EU proposals. It wouldn't be the 1st time a US company thought that way and I can't think of any other reason Google would believe they can win on this.
Google normally seem happy to let courts decide things like this, ignoring the politicians and lobbying (often less than honest, from competitors) but I cant believe they found legal advice that this case is winnable in a court.
Time for a bulk buy of popping corn, it's going to be most interesting watching how other US data miners react. For a change they might resist taking cheap shots and lobbying against Google.
Bill Gates: Windows Phone strategy was 'a mistake'
"kinect being the best example"
...tech bought in from PrimeSense, driven by the need to compete with the Wii controller, constrained by the need to avoid Nintendo and Sony controller patent minefields. MS massively improved the software, it's very definitely an innovative solution, but it's also another example of MS being late to the party.
Jumping on bandwagons then hijacking them has been an unbelievably successful strategy for MS for most of its existence. With everyone else doing it Cloud must be the next bandwagon... even if you and I might disagree ;)

England captain Steven Gerrard has described the potential of some of the younger players in the squad for this summer's World Cup as 'scary', BBC Sport is reporting.
Southampton left-back Luke Shaw, Everton midfielder Ross Barkley, Arsenal winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Gerrard's Liverpool teammate Raheem Sterling are among those in the World Cup squad who are under the age of 24, with England boss Roy Hodgson opting primarily for youth over experience.
And Gerrard, who will be at his third World Cup, hopes that they can fulfil their promise in Brazil, with England taking on Italy in their first match on June 14. He said: "Hopefully they have that no-fear factor and they can go there and enjoy themselves. A lot of the young players have been fantastic this season and I am sure the manager wants them to continue that over in Brazil."
On England's chances, Gerrard added: "It would be very stupid and naive of me to stand here and say we're going to win it. What I can guarantee is that we will go there and give 100%.
"There are some top teams around the world all fighting for the same thing, but all we can do is try and stick together, work hard and see if we can prove some doubters wrong."

Closed Sessions - Fresh Like Me
Artist: Closed Sessions
Featuring: Vonnegutt , Mic Terror
Producer: Vonnegutt
Album: Closed Sessions Vol. 2
Avg Rating: 2.2 ( 6 total votes )
The greatest quality of a compilation album is the variety of artists you get on individual songs, as well as the project as a whole. When it comes to Closed Sessions Vol. 2 we've already heard cuts from Raekwon and L.E.P. Bogus Boys, which is already an interesting combination of artists, and now we've got a record that features both Marietta, Georgia band Vonnegutt and Illinois emcee Mic Terror. While his stage name might come across as slightly intimidating, Terror kicks off his Fresh Like Me verse on a humorous note as he raps, "All these hoes be at my house wanting to stick to the man/ Plus my d**k look like that sh*t missing a wrist and a hand." On top of Vonnegutt frontman Kyle Lucas' introductory verse the group also handles the production, which is heavy on the rock. As we wait for the album and accompanying documentary to be released in conjunction with MTV2, check out past Closed Sessions Vol. 2 releases Keep It Politics and Don't Happen That Often, which are both available for free stream and download on DJBooth.

Later tonight the public gets a chance to speak out about the City of Tucson's $1.3 billion budget. One councilman is holding a special town hall to go over some of the financial pitfalls ahead of the city.
It is not easy or convenient to drive downtown, file into these city council chambers right after work at least that is what Steve Kozachik says and why he is holding this budget town hall later tonight.
He wants to give people more one-on-one about the budget, go into more detail, something that cannot happen at council meetings.
This is partially because the budget is 300 pages long. Kozachik says his voters may have questions on several issues about why the city is paying out more.
From a city employee raises to increasing pensions, from streetcar payments to the new communication tower on Tumamoc Hill.
He says the city can limp through this year financially, but two or three years down the road it will be worse.
Councilor Kozachik is expecting a packed house tonight at the town hall, which will be happening at the Ward Six office, near Speedway and Country Club from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. tonight.

Buffalo Sabres forward Ville Leino is out indefinitely with a cracked rib, head coach Ron Rolston announced on Thursday afternoon.
Leino sustained the injury during the first period of Wednesday night's game against the Detroit Red Wings and managed to play through the entirety of the contest, recording 12:38 of ice time. Buffalo will not recall anyone from the American Hockey League, instead opting to move Tyler Ennis to wing and Johan Larsson to center.
A major free agent signing in the summer of 2011, Leino agreed to a six-year, $27 million contract that has been a burden on the Sabres ever since. Having registered only 25 points in his first season, Leino missed all but eight games in 2013 due to injury, which then made it impossible for the team to extend him a compliance buyout this past offseason.
Having undergone hip surgery last season, Leino looked forward to an attempted rebound in 2013-14 before sustaining this latest ailment in the campaign's opening game. Hopefully, Leino will have a chance to accomplish his goal sooner than later.

There's been a lot of buzz about those celeb-inspired wigs designed for babies—David Letterman's joked about them on his show. You can choose from several styles including Bob Marley's dreadlocks or Donald Trump's 'do. I'm not totally outraged by them like some people are but I do think they're pretty stupid. From scratchy booties to soggy diapers, babies have enough issues to deal with as it is. Let's not saddle the little ones with toupees for our amusement. What's next? Self-tanner for tots?
Oh, baby!

In April of 2007, Florida took a significant step toward full democracy for ex-offenders seeking to have their right to vote restored. Governor Charlie Crist persuaded the state's Clemency Board to adopt new regulations. The new rules "automatically" restore the rights of ex-offenders who have committed non-violent crimes, have completed their sentences and probation, and paid victim restitution.
In response to the failed vote on Rep. Zoe Lofgren's Emergency Ballot Bill, People For the American Way Director of Public Policy Tanya Clay House released the following statement:
Today, Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius vetoed House Bill 2019. If signed by the govenor, the bill would have instituted a burdensome proof of citizenship and identification requirement, potentially disenfranchising thousands of Kansas' elderly, disabled, minority, and low-income voters. People For the American Way Senior Vice President and National Field Director Mary Jean Collins today praised Gov. Sebelius for standing up for the rights of Kansas voters, and hailed the veto as a victory for all voters.
Following Hans von Spakovsky's withdrawal of his nomination to the Federal Election Commission, Tanya Clay House, Director of Public Policy at People For the American Way said, "It's clear that Hans von Spakovsky, who worked under former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, was not an appropriate choice to sit on the Federal Election Commission, or any commission charged with overseeing Americans' voting rights and fair election practices.
It is becoming much harder for many Americans to vote. The barriers range from unintentional to obvious to insidious, and they are proliferating across the nation. Racial minorities, students, the poor, and senior citizens are bearing the brunt of new rules and regulations that discourage and limit voting.
What would the actual impact be on Americans' rights and freedoms if the views of Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas become the majority views on the Supreme Court? This report examines Scalia's and Thomas's opinions to answer that question, focusing on cases in which Scalia and Thomas have been in the minority on the Court, and the answer is nothing short of chilling.
This report examines the nomination of John Ashcroft for Attorney General by President George W. Bush. Based on Ashcroft's record as a senator and as Missouri state attorney general and governor, public interest advocates believed that Ashcroft was a right-wing ideologue who should not be entrusted with overseeing the enforcement of laws and the protection of constitutional guarantees affecting civil rights, civil liberties, religious liberty, reproductive rights, environmental protection, and more.
