If you install LuckyShopper, it will connect to the Internet without your permission and display annoying pop-up offers in Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers. Needless to say, if you do not want to deal with this kind of activity, you should not install LuckyShopper in the first place. Unfortunately, some computer users do not even know when or how this application slithers in. Anti-Spyware-101.com adware researchers have not observed the application to be installed without permission; however, computer users may install it unknowingly. This is an issue that you will face if you download software carelessly, and if you trust unfamiliar software distributors.

Mobius Radio
If you have downloaded Mobius Radio yourself, you must have done this believing that the application will help you listen to different online radio stations for free. Even though the program does offer this service, it is far more important that it also displays online advertisements. This may be unexpected, considering that the application is not promoted as an advertising tool, but this is why we identify Mobius Radio as an advertisement-supported program. Even if you find the promoted services to be useful, you should delete the application to prevent the presentation of various online advertisements. Have you already interacted with these ads and you have found them to be useful? We recommend removing Mobius Radio because of the misleading and unreliable ads which may be mixed in as well.

Bernanke signals Fed may soon dial back its economic stimulus
Send this to a friend
- Kent Hoover
- Washington Bureau Chief
- Email | Twitter | Google
The economy is improving enough to lead the Federal Reserve to think it can soon take its foot off the accelerator.
That should be good news, but stocks fell as Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke told reporters the Fed could start reducing its bond purchases later this year, and end them the middle of next year. That's assuming the economy continues to improve, he said. And for the first time, he put a target number -- a 7 percent unemployment rate -- on when the Fed's asset-purchasing program might end.
The Fed already had set a target of 6.5 percent unemployment as to when it might start raising short-term interest rates. Both targets are thresholds, not triggers, Bernanke emphasized.
For now, however, asset purchases will continue at their current monthly pace, and the federal funds rate will remain near zero.
Raising interest rates "is still far in the future," he said.
Bernanke insisted that the Fed has not changed its policy on asset purchases, despite his announcement that a 7 percent unemployment rate would be a signal that it might be time to end them.
"Our policy is in no way predetermined," Bernanke said.
The Fed's decisions on asset purchases and interest rates will depend on economic data and the outlook going forward.
Right now, that outlook is mixed, but moderately positive.
"The fundamentals look a little better to us, in particular the housing sector," Bernanke said.
The jobs market also is slowly improving, consumer confidence is up, and downside risks to the economy have diminished, he said.
The biggest drag on the economy, he said, is federal fiscal policy -- the immediate spending cuts coming from sequestration and Congress' failure to address the government's real budget problem, its long-term debt crisis.

Mary J. Blige – The London Sessions
Breaking out of her comfort zone this past summer, Mary J. Blige traveled overseas to London to become immersed in the culture and music scene following on the heels of such singers as Adele and Amy Winehouse. Her thirteenth studio album, The London Sessions, is slated for release this December with all that she has to offer including strong vocal chords and tons of emotion backed by strong lyrics and a number of collaborations with some of London's top artists.
Originally from New York, the singer grew up in a small town in Georgia (squee!) listening to R&B/soul musicians such as Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, and Patti Labelle. After dropping out of college and returning to New York, where she had been born, Blige was signed on to Uptown Records in 1989 with production on her first album set to begin in 1991. Rather quickly her music went straight to the billboard charts obtaining her first top 100 hit in the fall of 1992. Since her beginnings Mary J. Blige has received nine Grammy Awards (plus a staggering 31 nominations), a 2012 Golden Globe nomination, and four American Music Awards attracting a loyal fanbase and propelling the sale of over 50 million albums.
While Mary J. Blige had never been at the top of my listening repertoire, I was excited to get the opportunity to open up my mind and give The London Sessions a listen for One2One Network. I was not expecting to enjoy this album as much as I did. Even though I don't have a favorite song from the album, I was impressed and surprised by the large number of themes she sang about making me feel as though she really did try to reach out to her audience in a new way with this album. The London Sessions is definitely filled to the brim with soulful ballads and emotionally charged songs making the album very likeable for fans of multiple music genres including pop, R&B, and soul.
Interested in pre-ordering the album on amazon or itunes?
Be sure to check out Mary J. Blige's official website for more information or follow her on twitter or facebook to stay updated on all things Mary J. Blige. :)
Are you a fan of Mary J. Blige? Will you be anxiously awaiting the arrival of her new cd in stores on Dec. 2?
** I participated in the Mary J Blige The London Sessions album review program as a member of One2One Network. I was provided a free album to review but all opinions are my own.

Remembering: Last year at this time and how preparing for Christmas was so different from how it is this year…
Giggling About: Hannah Hart's videos, especially 28 Things About Being 28 and her venture into Melbourne, Australia.
"What's up with 'Emu, etc…'. Don't we have a right to know what's in our meat? Ironic coming from an American." :)
Planning: Thanksgiving – We are doing something entirely different this year and traveling to the north Georgia mountains with food in tow to see my grandparents and spend Thanksgiving with them. I'm trying to help Justin come up with unique dishes that will make this Thanksgiving different and better (as far as food) than last. I would really love to see more seasonal foods added to our meal plan than we've done before.
Anxiously Awaiting: all of the giveaways coming up including products from Schick, Hidden Valley, and Zep.
Interested to know: if I will like the numerous products I will be reviewing soon including Luke Barr's Provence 1970, Steven Brown's Glitterville's Handmade Christmas, Mary J. Blige's The London Sessions, and Indina Menzel's Holiday Wishes.
Baking: Alton Brown's chocolate chip cookies with butterscotch in them instead of chocolate chips. Yum! (Be sure to have a FULL glass of milk on hand. These cookies are super sweet!)
Keeping A Secret: Who isn't keeping a secret at this time of year? We've already bought so many gifts and we just have to keep it all "under wraps" until Christmas. :)
DIYing: nothing. I'm lazy. I'd rather spend my time photoshopping. But I guess I need to get busy thinking of a creative Christmas card to send out. Last year, at this time, I already knew what my plan was. This year … not so much. Pinterest to the rescue?
What are your 'currentlys'? Are you doing anything exciting? Perhaps preparing for the upcoming holiday season by chance?
** Day 12 of November Blogathon.

Holiday Inn Resort – Panama City Beach, FL
|image courtesy of TripAdvisor
Destination: Panama City Beach, Florida and Port St. Joe/San Blas
Date: June 2014
Hotel: Holiday Inn Resort
Brand: IHG
Status: Gold
# of travelers: 2
Hotel & Brand – Making the Decision
Justin's family was going down to Port St. Joe/San Blas for a week long family vacation at the beginning of summer right after we had returned from Europe. Knowing that all of this was happening, I researched and booked our hotel (the Holiday Inn Resort) in April giving us a discount for booking 30 days prior to our stay. While PCB is actually over an hour away from San Blas, Justin and I were working off the thought that his family was staying in Port St. Joe, which is approximately 30 minutes closer to PCB than San Blas is. Furthermore, if you have ever researched or looked for hotels in the Port St. Joe area, you would not be surprised to discover that there aren't very many … if there are any at all. Port St. Joe is a tiny little town on the cost of Florida with only a handful of restaurants and perhaps one or two gas stations within the whole vicinity. If you didn't get gas on your way into San Blas, you could very well get stranded. Finding food whether in a restaurant or grocery store was also limited. San Blas is a very small area indeed.
Due to the location of the family's escapade into Florida, Justin and I decided to take advantage of my status with IHG and stay at the resort. I had read on FlyerTalk that even with status, you weren't guaranteed an upgrade, but I was also reassured that even without an upgrade you would get a room facing the beach on the beach. That sounded good enough to me, and since Justin and I were arriving in Florida a good day and a half before his family came down, we decided the hour drive from a hotel on the beach was okay with us.
Getting There
|image from Destination360
We drove from Georgia a good 6 hours to get there, I believe. The fun bit was seeing on Waze that our arrival time was an hour earlier than expected … or at least that was fun until we realized that we were changing time zones. We changed time zones at least twice before our arrival. It was a lot of fun living an hour behind our usual time zone of EST for a weekend.
As for other arrival methods … I have no idea. This hotel is located in the states which really limits transportation possibilities. Unlike previous hotels I've reviewed located in Europe where you could arrive by train, the US does not provide that much alternative transportation. I'd say you have access to the PCB area via car or bus … and perhaps boat, but that's it.
Price, Location, Rooms & View
|image from Hotels.com
I digress…
Anyway, the Holiday Inn Resort is one of the fancier hotels on (in my opinion) the nicer side of PCB. You can pay less and stay in one of the many smaller, less fancy hotels on the north side of PCB or you can go south, pay a bit more, and have a bit more room to walk on the beach without stepping over beach towels and high school/college students. Also, the further down the strip you get, the less motorcycles you'll see. This is not to say you won't see any, but you will see less. All of this meant that I was able to enjoy my stay at the beach making the extra I was paying worth it, to me. It won't be worth it for everyone who ventures to the coastal waters of PCB though. You will have to decide it's worth to you based on my review and others like it.
For clarity's sake, the Holiday Inn Resort is located on the southern isle of PCB. It is a few miles away from the local mall, but it is right on the beach. From what I've read, all rooms face the beach; in other words, you cannot get a bad room. Don't take my word on that though; I recommend contacting the hotel and asking specifically for a beach facing room if that is what you want. They may laugh, but at least you'll know you are getting what you want. :) The rooms are all crazy huge and include a fridge, an ironing board, toiletries, a safe, and a balcony. Obviously the higher up you can get, the better the view will be from your room.
Amenities, Disability Access, Parking, & Staff
|image from Expedia
The hotel had so many amenities to take advantage of! Not only was the room fantastic and huge, but the pool was also almost grandiose! If European hotels are small and quaint, this hotel was an American's dream! With lemon and lime infused water as well as tea in the main lobby, a restaurant, strawberry and pineapple infused water at the pool, a kid's water park, a game room, a gift shop (selling the all important postage and everything you could have possibly forgotten), two bars (one located in a second building, one located near the pool), a place to order pizza and ice cream while sunning out on the pool deck, characters that walk around the pool during the morning providing balloons to all of the kids, music and karaoke provided by a disc jockey on the pool deck, a fitness center, a business center, free wi-fi, and chairs/umbrellas you can rent to take out on the beach, there is almost nothing this hotel doesn't have or offer. In fact, I was a bit disappointed to miss out on seeing flame throwers our one night there. There is quite literally something for everyone.
If the hotel is overwhelming with all of it's entertainment possibilities, the staff is right up there with it providing amazing service even over the course of our very short weekend. We arrived late, but they made sure we had a room … and even when I called two days after leaving the hotel thinking that I may have left my ipod there, they were courteous and took a look in the room just to check. Obviously they didn't find it since I later found it in my jacket pocket, but I sincerely appreciated the effort they put into looking for it and contacting me to say they had not yet found it.
As with many of the other hotels I have reviewed I cannot say with any certainty that this hotel is incredibly friendly towards those with disabilities, but nothing stood out to me as being unfriendly. In fact, given that the hotel has multiple elevators and nearly everything you could possibly want within close proximity, I would imagine that this hotel is actually incredibly disability-friendly. In fact, despite the fact that parking is across the street, they have a tunnel that goes under the road to get to it so that you don't have to cross the dangerous, busy street. They also provide handicap parking right in front of the hotel and provide golf cart rides to the parking lot for all those who are feeling a bit lazy. It's like the Holiday Inn Resort thought of everything!
Status & the Upstairs Bar (in the fitness building)
While I did not receive a major room upgrade (I'm not sure if they have those) or a room on a higher floor, the front desk did provide my husband and I with coupons to get a free drink at the bar. It was not a crazy spectacular benefit and the bar was practically empty when we went at around 10PM on a Saturday night, but the bartender was friendly and the drinks were good albeit typical. Justin had a scotch and I had a frozen daiquiri. Unfortunately the view from the bar left a lot to be desired. You could watch tv, but the windows were cloudy and made it difficult to see the only thing that existed below – the pool.
Overall Review
|image from IHG
The only thing that stood out to me that I did not like was the lack of free breakfast options in the hotel. At $200 a room (even if it is during the busy season) without much around the hotel, it would have been nice to have a free breakfast. Other than that, the hotel was fantastic. Despite my lack of interest in going to PCB, I would definitely consider going again if I were to stay in this hotel. In fact, according to TripAdvisor, the price rates sinking down below $100 into December ($68 on 12/12) make this a fantastic hotel to stay at for the money, especially if you are going for business and not as interested in the pool/beach during the colder winter months.
Your Turn
Are you more of a party person or a resort person? Would you be content never having to leave the hotel property during a summer visit to PCB? Is there anything I've missed that you want to know?
For those interested, here is a list of things Justin and I did during our weekend stay in PCB at the Holiday Inn Resort.

Sleep IQ – A Sleep Number Product Review
A few weeks ago I received an assignment from Smiley360 to visit a Sleep Number store, try the mattresses, and speak with a representative about their new technology – Sleep IQ, a product I was completely unfamiliar with until this mission.
If you've ever shopped for a mattress before, you know how difficult it can be. Sometimes you are shopping for the perfect mattress, something like what you find in a hotel, and you are only ever disappointed after actually purchasing the mattress when you get home and discover that it was really only comfortable in the store where you made the purchase… Other times you are looking to replace your well-used and worn in mattress that is super comfy but perhaps you need an upgrade because you are, for example, getting married. Sharing a twin bed with your significant other can be a bit tight…
While shopping at the Sleep Number Store, the thing that stood out to me most about the new technology is your ability to be uncertain about the level of comfort you need at night. In other words, you don't have to worry about picking out the perfect mattress at the store. Through the Sleep IQ app, you can alter you specific sleep number and adjust it to fit you and your needs until you get it right, all within the comfort of your own home. Even better, the Sleep IQ app tracks your blood pressure and heart rate to determine how well you are sleeping at night providing you with recommendations for what your perfect sleep number could be. After every night that you sleep on the Sleep Number bed, you will receive a sleep score; hopefully as you figure out and adjust your sleep number so that it is a perfect fit for you, your sleep score will increase allowing you to get the most comfortable sleep possible for your body type and needs.
One of the things the representative made certain to mention was that the Sleep IQ app can always work to show you different things you are doing on a daily basis that may be affecting your sleep quality. There is an in app diary that allows you to keep track of your food and drink intake, how much caffeine and sugar you are consuming, and how often/when you exercise. Everybody has a different type of body and schedule and the Sleep IQ app attempts to help you configure your bed to match what you specifically need.
The only downside I discerned from my experience with the new Sleep IQ app and the Sleep Number beds was that there are monitors on both sides of the mattress – fantastic for married couples! But what about singles? Or those people –ahem, me– who attempt to take over the bed and sleep in the middle on a nightly basis? (Yes, I am deserving of the whole king size bed.) Unfortunately, the representative could only share that the Sleep IQ app would probably get very confused and not work as well for people like me, which wasn't too surprising.
Overall, I loved what I learned from the Sleep Number store. For the right people the Sleep Number bed and Sleep IQ app sound like they would be amazing and significantly improve one's sleep. Unfortunately, given my specific circumstances, I'm not sure it is right for me, but I will definitely keep an eye on the technology as it changes and improves over time. Certainly at some point in the future I am sure the company will be able to adjust the technology to work with all of it's consumers. If you'd like to learn more, click here to visit the Sleep Number site and learn whether the Sleep IQ technology is right for you.
Have you struggled through the mattress buying process before? Were you aware of the new Sleep IQ technology? Would you be interested in trying a product such as that? Share in the comments! I'd love to hear about your experiences!

Blog Goals
1. Host more giveaways – I've hosted 11 giveaways this year including 3 in the past 30 days. (Want to enter one?) I'd love to continue to try products and write reviews in 2015, but (most especially) I'd like to give away more samples. It's nice being able to say that such-and-such product is awesome, and you should try it too. :) (Even more fun are the large giveaways! Didn't you love entering to win the variety of beauty samples in September? And there were soooo many winners too!)
2. Writing stronger, more efficient, and successful blogposts – I've been interested in writing for years; I began writing short stories for fun in elementary school, I considered majoring in English in college, and I've had a lot of fun writing and editing papers all through school. Now when I feel stuck and unable to improve my writing, I'm going a little bit crazy. I'm grateful to have a blog to practice on, but I would love to find a mentor or book that I can use to develop and craft my skills more.
3. Beautiful Photography – I always get jealous of people who I perceive can take and edit images better than I can. Then when my friends buy a DSLR and call themselves a photographer I get mad, because I've spent years working at my skill, knowing what I want to achieve, and feeling unable to do so. Progress is slow. I watch CreativeLive on occasion and practice following tutorials I see online to improve, but rarely do I feel successful. Am I trying too hard to imitate others? Am I too hard on myself? Will I ever get there? Some days, when I'm writing blog posts, it's much easier to use the work of others that may or may not be amazing rather than try to perfect my own work, especially when I have so much to do and so little time to do it. I keep hoping that one day it will get easier and require a lot less thought and look a whole lot better. Meanwhile I keep watching ebay for the 5d MkII to become available at a reasonable price…
It seems a bit early to be thinking about goals for the new year, but do you have any goals you're working toward and hoping to finish prior to the end of 2014? Has this year been successful for you? Is there anything you might change looking back?

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights recently and found it absolutely charming. The owners were friendly and couldn't help more, the wait staff had great attitude, the room had a magnificent view and overall the stay was just what we wanted - relaxing. An easy walk to the nearby beach which is picture postcard beautiful - we hired stand up paddle boards and explored the nearby coves - a good way to work off some of our holiday excess.
Having a car is handy - we explored some of the nearby medieval villages and did some shopping, dining and drinking in nearby Begur.
Would be back in a flash. Loved it.

In his MySpace bio, R.E.U.B. is quick to differentiate himself from your typical rapper: "I am not a crip, blood or any other type of gang member. I am not a pimp or womanizer, I am not ignorant… I don't sell crack, and I don't drive a Benz yet." What is the Booth newcomer? Well, he's a "Real Entrepreneur in the Underground Business of Hip-Hop" (to name one of many interpretations of the acronym). The Ghanaian-born emcee's individuality, devotion to his craft, and focus on the fundamentals are on full display on mixtape title track The Black Rapper Show. Here, The Clinic serve up a head-bobbing, syncopated groove as R.E.U.B. delivers a potent blend of braggadocio and trash talk, notably taking a moment to scoff at those who've been sleeping on him: "What the f*ck are y'all, cicadas?" Needless to say, Booth readers will be wide awake by the time this track is finished. Craving more? You're in luck – The [Black] Rapper Show, co-starring Clinton Sparks, dropped January 15, and is available now online.

Hand-carved village stamp by Le Petit Pig (Janet Chan) via Flickr
I always make my own stamps or find something unique to stamp with. Typically I use craft foam and cut out shapes and carve into the foam with a wood burning tool. I have found that craft foam is cheap, durable and really great to use with fabric ink and paint. In addition I always try and find unique object or simple things that I can use as a stamps to repeat pattern across the surface of fabric.

The Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination of individuals based on several factors, including sex, race, color, natural origin, religion, handicap, or familial status. Discrimination can be much more, or subtler, than just refusing to rent a dwelling.
Discriminatory actions include:
- Refusing to negotiate
- Using different terms and conditions
- Providing different housing
- Lying about availability of housing
- Persuading owners to leave
- Denying services for renting or selling
In addition to these restrictions, Florida has additional fair housing laws, called the Florida Fair Housing Act. It parallels the fair housing act in terms of making it illegal to discriminate in the renting, buying, selling, advertising or providing brokerage services for housing. This basically means any party—from a real estate agent to mortgage broker to ad agency—cannot be caught discriminating or only appealing to a certain population segment when it comes to housing services.
Discrimination can come in many forms—it's doesn't have to be an outright refusal of service. Any time it can be proven that a person is treating any one of a protected class of individuals in a consistent way that results in a less desirable experience than others, that's discrimination. It could be giving individuals with therapy dogs units with bad carpet or charging certain people more for a security deposit.
Violation of the Fair Housing Act can include civil judgments, criminal charges, and even jail time depending on the type of discrimination. Many times, more violent and flagrant violations of the act can be prosecuted under separate criminal laws as hate crimes.

Former Weber State guard Damian Lillard explains his fear of 'historic statues'
Ben Brewer, Deseret News
Former Weber State guard and star NBA rookie Damian Lillard uses his speed and quickness to blow past on-court opponents. Based on a recent tweet, it seems the only things that can slow him down don't move at all.
During a recent trip to Washington, D.C., Lillard tweeted that he found the city's monuments to America's historical figures unnerving:
I like DC. I wana come back and visit the memorialseven though I'm scared of statues— Damian Lillard (@Dame_Lillard) November 28, 2012
People I'm only scared of historic statues. Abraham Lincoln , MLK, etc . Had a bad experience at the wax museum lmao— Damian Lillard (@Dame_Lillard) November 28, 2012
Lillard explained his phobia to reporters before Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards.
"I've always been scared of historic stuff like that. If I see statues of Jesus, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. — all that stuff kind of gives me a funny feeling," Lillard told USA Today reporter Jeff Zillgett.
The former Wildcat identified a trip to a wax museum before his senior year at Weber State as a possible cause of the aversion.
"The last room was Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln — all these big-time historic people, and it looked just like them. Same size," Lillard said. "They had music playing in the room to set the mood, and it just threw me off."
Lillard was the sixth overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. He is averaging 19.1 points and 6.1 assists per game for the Portland Trail Blazers.

"I've always been a maverick in a number of ways," says businesswoman and philanthropist Stacie McDavid.
Thousands of people rallied late Monday in U.S. cities including Los Angeles and New York to passionately but peacefully protest a grand jury's decision not to indict a white police officer who killed a black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Mo.
Thanksgiving closures have been announced, with most Fort Worth city offices – including City Hall – set to close Thursday Nov.27 and Friday Nov. 28 for the holiday, according to a city news release.
Hope Lancarte, who ran her father's restaurant, Joe T. Garcia's, for decades, died Thursday morning.. She was 86.
A 3.3 magnitude earthquake shook the Dallas-Fort Worth area around 9:15 p.m. Saturday night, according to the United State Geological survey.

(CNN) -- The remaining scaffolding around the Washington Monument will begin to come down this week.
The monument will officially reopen on May 12, the National Park Service announced Tuesday. One of Washington's most popular sites, the monument was closed on August 23, 2011, after a 5.8 magnitude earthquake caused more than 150 cracks in the structure.
The $15 million restoration project took nearly three years to complete. The National Park Service and the Trust for the National Mall are planning to host a reopening ceremony at 10 a.m. ET On May 12.
Public tours will begin that day at 1 p.m., and tickets will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis that morning at the Washington Monument Lodge.
Starting April 16, tickets for tours on future dates will be available at the park service's reservation page, www.recreation.gov. The park service will offer extended operating hours, 9 a.m.-10 p.m., through the end of summer.
"We are delighted to be in the homestretch with the repairs to the Washington Monument almost complete, and we look forward to the re-opening on May 12 so we can once again welcome visitors to this iconic monument to our nation's first President," said National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis, in a press release.
Congress allocated $7.5 million to the restoration project, and philanthropist David M. Rubenstein matched those funds with a $7.5 million donation to the monument's restoration via the Trust for the National Mall.

pokelife Ch3 family rivalryPoké life chapter 3 family rivalryA week has passed since Black and White decided to settle in a hotel in Undella. Matt took a visit to the Center and logged into his PC system. He was finally able to retrieve his pokémon team back together. Knowing that he also knew that he this means that now he can call all the way to the Johto region, without hesitation he dialled the house number of his closest friend as soon as he could. The phone rang for a couple seconds, no answer yet but he stayed patient, waiting and finally the line picked up."Ciel!!!" Matt yelled at the screen."excuse me?" it was not her, but instead it was her mother that picked up."oh pardon me mam. I was expecting Cielena to be home." Matt looked slightly disappointed and embarrassed."That's fine, actually she's outside chatting with Jasmine, would you like me to get her for you?""That would be great, thank you.""K, give me a sec."Matt felt a little nervous for some reason, while he w
pokelife Ch2 Old an New RivalsPokélife Chapter 2 Old & New RivalsOn a clear spring day in Undella Town, the wind is nice and breezy; the sun is shining not too brightly and small fluffy clouds are in the sky. On days like this, Matt likes to take a leisurely stroll around Route 13, just north of Undella, and maybe train his Pokémon along the way. As Matt leaves the house, he hears the door open again and his Mother's nagging."Matt, bring Nicky with you!" she yells."Oh, for the love of Arceus, do I have too?" replies Matt in annoyance."Yes please, he needs you to train him if he plans to take on the Sinnoh league some day," his mom explains."Urgh, fine," Matt groans.Matt stands there in front of the door waiting on his little, 14-year-old brother, Nicholas. After a couple of minutes of getting his shoes on, Nick finally steps out of the house accompanied by his Chikorita, Harmony."About time," Matt says as he walks ahead."What? Can't I take my time? Sheesh," says Nick as he follows after Mat
Pokelife Ch1 cheerful memoriesPoké life: Chapter 1 Cheerful memories.It was a new beginning for Matt, for he had finally finished unpacking from his move to Undella Town. A summer time paradise; villas, a beautiful ocean, soft, golden sand, and even the underwater ruin, the Abyssal Ruins. Unfortunately it's deep under water (obviously) and can't be seen. At the end of each day Matt loved to just sit at the beach and watch the sunset with his Pokémon partners. At this time he often looks at his heart shaped necklace that has "C+M" engraved on it in memory of his close friend Cielena, who is still living back in Johto."I can't believe that I have to live so far away from you, Ciel. How are you holding up I wonder? I can barely take the loneliness." Matt said to himself as he stares at the necklace.Meanwhile at Ecruteak City in Johto, Cielena was sitting near the doorstep of Matt's old house, looking at her own necklace also engraved that was identical to Matt's."Wh-why did you have to move?"

WOW... There is nobody like Apple to spring a few surprises and yesterdays WWDC 09 Keynote had some interesting announcements. I am not going to go into each in depth as there are enough websites out there that have, blow by blow. See TUAW , Gizmodo , MacWorld , CNet News
First thing to say is, that what most folks were right on, was that there would be no Steve Jobs and secondly what most did not expect was that... we got an iPhone announcement! Read on...
- Snow Leopard announcement - available from September for $29 upgrade
- Macbook Pro announcements - some new specification enhancements etc
- iPhone OS 3.0 announcement - available worldwide June 17 and free for iPhone customers, but $9.95 for iPod Touch owners. Developers in the Apple Developer Program can get the near-final version immediately
- iPhone3G S announcement - available June 19 & later in some countries TUAW have a good summary here.
The S stands for SPEED! BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER.. err no that was Steve Austin, but this new device along with iPhone OS 3.0, you should get the idea ;-)
The price for the iPhone3G S is $199 for 16GB and $299 for 32GB. The iPhone3G 8GB will still be sold at $99
I have also heard that if you can find the 16GB iPhone3G, that too will be reduced in price!
Interesting functionality added to Apple's MobileMe service - "Find My iPhone" which includes the ability to Find your iPhone on a map, message & bleep & Remote Wipe ability to wipe a lost device.
NOTE This should affect the adoption of the iPhone in the Enterprise, though companies like Sybase have already been addressing the issues of secure enterprise data and the wiping of enterprise data for a few months or more. For example check out an interview with Senthil Krishnapillai, Director of Product Management (Mobility) at Sybase on iPhoneCTO called, "iPhone is Here to Stay. What's an Enterprise to do About it?" .
Senthil is also a speaker at SYS-CON's iPhone Developer Summit, which is being held in NYC on June 22-23. The abstract for Senthil's presentation is..."Business users are actively embracing Apple's iPhone and bringing it into the enterprise - both through the back door and the front door. iPhone developers have a significant opportunity to help businesses gain a competitive advantage by empowering workers with a true mobile office – secure email, mobilized business processes, and seamless access to back-end enterprise systems. In order to achieve this vision and help companies truly realize the power of the iPhone in the enterprise, a mobile infrastructure is needed that enables enterprises to move away from single 'one-off' applications to a more strategic mobile platform."
Disappointing for me
- Lack of user facing camera on the iPhone3G S
- The same styling as the iPhone3G. Something sleeker and more akin to the new MacBooks would have rocked!
- No changes to iTunes App Store to enable users to easily find an application that meets their needs (remember there are 40,000 apps to pick from)
As a school report, I would give Apple 8/10 - Addressing the above disappointments would have given you 10/10.
The big question that is being asked by iPhone developers is...
"How do I get the iPhone3G S? I'm on a contract plan & starting a new plan to run in parallel is not an option!"
We will have to wait and see if Apple & the cellular providers have something planned, like a discount for those already signed up to the Apple Developer Program.
Finally, you have got to hand it to Apple, they have come back extremly strong against the recent Palm Pre announcement. The timing of this announcement, including the price reduction of the current iPhone3G along with the imminent availability of the iPhone3G S in its major markets on June 19, could be a serious body-blow to Palm... as well as sending a tremour across the whole smartphone market.
I am now convinced that the iPhone3G S will break into the Enterprise in a big way, look out BB & WM.
