Zuckerberg's sister to bring Broadway to the world via Facebook; Anti-romcoms on song
Alice Jones' Arts Diary
Alice Jones
Alice Jones is Deputy Arts Editor of The Independent.
Thursday 31 January 2013
What can the theatre learn from Facebook? That was the question at the second TEDx Broadway conference this week.
Randi Zuckerberg, sister of Facebook founder Mark, and former marketing director of the social networking site, was a speaker at the day-long symposium, an independent off-shoot of the celebrated TED ideas conferences.
Tackling the theme "What's the best Broadway could be in 2032?", the media entrepreneur, who revealed that it had been her childhood dream to perform on Broadway, offered a Top 10 ideas to open Broadway up, including holding open auditions on YouTube, crowd-sourcing costumes and funding, online viewings at a fraction of the price of theatre tickets and encouraging stars to interact with fans. "The [Twitter] @ reply is the new autograph", she said.
Last week she launched Zuckerberg Media Studios a production base "to create and distribute live innovative content for digital, social and traditional media channels." Which explains her sudden interest in the theatre, and vice versa. "Why should Broadway be limited by physical space? By ticket prices? By the same shows, over and over?" she asked. "Instead of having just a small sliver of the world come to Broadway, why not bring a small piece of Broadway to the entire world?" she added.
Hollywood comedy? It's just a big joke
His new film I Give it a Year is billed as an anti rom-com and director, Dan Mazer (the brains behind Borat and Bruno) was on fine anti-rom-com (and anti-Hollywood) form at the LOCO film festival.
"I realised that romantic comedies are neither particularly romantic nor comedic. Splitting up is funnier than getting together", he said after a screening of his film. "Hollywood films don't make me laugh. There's only ever one funny film a year.
Take The Watch, which starred Ben Stiller, Richard Ayoade and Jonah Hill and yet they conspired to make it not funny. Spectacularly so." Over to you, Hollywood.

News : Controversy over Cooper replacing Gruijters for Netherlands
Report : Myburgh powers Netherlands to six-wicket win
News : Borren p**sed off about batting inadequacies
Players/Officials: Tim Gruijters | Tom Cooper | Peter Borren
Series/Tournaments: World T20
Teams: Netherlands
You have not been able to qualify for the World Cup. You come straight to the World T20 next hoping to make the main round, and just before your opening game, a replaced team-mate accuses the management of "cheating" to get a key player in.
Tim Gruijters went out, Tom Cooper came in and so did controversy. No side would want to enter a world event amid such drama, but Peter Borren, the Netherlands captain, was proud that his side had come through the matter with an emphatic win over UAE.
And leading the way was Cooper, Man of the Match for his two key wickets and an unbeaten 34 that guided Netherlands home. Cooper was always expected to play an important role for Netherlands, but Borren did not think he needed such a performance to justify his controversial entry into the tournament.
"I don't think there was ever an issue of whether or not Tom was going to vindicate his selection," Borren said. "He is a fantastic all-round cricketer. It's an unfortunate thing to have happened to Tim and I am sure he is very disappointed about it. At the same time, I am not really in a position to talk about that decision because right now, we are in the middle of... This week is a pretty big week of cricket. And those things that have happened or may have happened in the last few days, Tim's disappointment with his injury, in some way it was a distraction for us.
"I am very glad that the team was able to go out there, put that to one side. I know everyone was excited about the game tonight, very excited about getting out there. I don't think that was a distraction we necessarily needed today but I am very proud of the guys overcoming it."
While asked about Gruijters' video outburst, Borren said the man was entitled to his opinion but did not think the incident had had such an impact on the side to the point that it could become a rallying issue.
"It really hasn't been a huge talking point within the squad. The boys were pretty keen on getting out here, enjoying the day. Obviously feeling for Tim and... It's not really my position to talk about that, to be honest. We want to come here and play some good cricket. As for galvanising the squad, perhaps, I don't know. For me, it didn't change my focus too much, so maybe you have to ask some of the other boys."
"His timing... I wouldn't want to answer too many questions about it.
"I don't think it was ideal timing. In saying that, Tim's an adult and he is allowed to express his opinion. But as I say, I don't think it had a major effect on the team here today. The boys played really well, we are looking forward to the next match and I guess that's sort of where the squad's at, at the moment."
Cooper himself did not think he had drawn any additional motivation from the episode to push himself harder on the field. "No, not really.
"I was just fortunate to get the call-up to come over here," Cooper said. "I was excited about that. Like I said, I prepared as I would for any other game. If you let too much of that get into your head, then you are not concentrating on the number one thing, which is doing your job with the bat and the ball and in the field. It would have been silly to put any added pressure over something like that."

text: "The Amish: Seeking to Lose the Self" by Susan Chontos, San Antonio College Reprinted with permission of the speaker. 1 Our society is one that caters to the individual. We have seminars on how to be assertive, books on how to better your self-image, and countless articles on how to take control of your life. It seems that everyone today is in a great rush to find themselves. There is, however, a small group of people in our country who are seeking rather to lose themselves. They are the Amish. 2 The Amish were a small group of persecuted immigrants who came to this country 250 years ago seeking religious freedoms. They quietly settled along the northeastern coast of the United States, primarily in Pennsylvania. Last summer, I visited this Pennsylvania settlement and toured an Amish home. So this morning, I would like to briefly examine the three major tenets of the Amish faith. They are based on Biblical scriptures. They are separation from the world, simplicity in the world, and a strong dedication to their group. 3 The first major tenet of the Amish faith is a desire to be separate from this world. 2 Corinthians6:17 states, "Therefore come out from them and be ye separate, says the Lord." You can see how the Amish separate themselves from society in many ways. First, they are an endogamous people. That is, they marry within their group. Marriage to non-Amish outsiders is strictly forbidden. Also, they separate themselves in that they speak a Germanic dialect among themselves, and this further distances them from their non-Amish neighbors. In addition, the Amish are separate from what would be considered the public life of most Americans. They don't seek public office. They don't participate in local sports teams or any other community organizations. Most recently, the Amish have separated themselves from our public school system. The Amish believe in attending school only from elementary up through the eighth grade, which they feel is adequate time to learn the basic skills necessary to succeed in Amish culture. In the 1950s, however, states began requiring attendance up through high school. The Amish parents and children protested this and were fined and even imprisoned. According to the Encyclopedia of World Cultures, this controversy was finally resolved in 1972, when the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of the Amish separating themselves on the basis of religious beliefs. 4 This Amish desire to remain separate from our world-to be in our world but not of our world-has required them to strike many compromises with the rise of modern technology around them. Don Kraybill, in hiss book The Puzzles of Amish Life, describes some of these compromises. For example, the primary mode of transportation for the Amish is the horse and buggy. Today, however, they are permitted to ride in automobiles, although they can't own one. Similarly, they may use a telephone, but they can't have one in their home. In addition, they may use modern farm equipment, but only if it's pulled by their plow horses. Certainly, it is becoming more and more difficult for the Amish to separate themselves from our modern world and its conveniences. 5 The second major tenet of the Amish faith is the desire to be simple, or plain. 1 Peter 3:3-4 states, "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair or the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self." Therefore, the Amish don't seek any material possessions at all. Rather, they strive to be plain and simple. Nicknamed "the plain people," nowhere is this plainness more evident than in their dress. In their dress, the Amish don't allow anything that represents style: no buttons, belts, bright colors, or pockets. Instead, they use hooks and ties and straight pins to fasten their clothes. As you can see in this picture [presentational aid], the Amish men are restricted to wearing only black and white. They must always have a wide-brimmed hat to cover their head, and you can tell that this man is married since he has a beard but no mustache. The Amish women are allowed a little more variation in their clothing, and they can wear different combinations of dark solids- dark purples or blues or browns. The Amish women must also wear bonnets to cover their hair, and they must never cut or curl their hair. 6 Not only do the Amish have simple ways of dressing, but they also provide very simple toys for their children to play with. I have here an example of a wooden bear toy [presentational aid]. This toy is very popular among Amish boys, since it has fun marbles and moving parts. The Amish girls, however, as you might expect, like to play with dolls. And here is a traditional Amish doll [presentational aid]. There are two things I'd like for you to notice about this doll. First, her simple dress. Notice again the dark colors and the ties and hooks instead of buttons. The second thing I'd like for you to notice is that she doesn't have a face. The Amish don't believe in putting the human face on any object, or even having their pictures taken. They feel that this represents a graven image and is a sign of personal pride. 7 There are two exceptions to this rule of simplicity for the Amish people, and there are the only two things that they may wear, or hang, or display in their homes. The first exception to the rule of being a simple people is their quilts [presentational aid]. Notice again the dark colors and the simple patterns. John Ruth, in his book A Quiet and Peaceable Life, states that quilts began as a way for frugal housewives to use leftover scraps of cloth. Now quilts have grown into a beautiful expression of the artistry and creativity of the Amish women. A second exception to this rule of being a simple people is what's known as Fraktur art [presentational aid]. And this dates back to the Middle Ages and is characterized by calligraphy writing and bright colors, with hearts or birds or flowers. What the Amish will do is write scripture verses in this Fraktur style and they will hang these plaques in their homes to remind them to be humble. We can see how this inner desire of the Amish to be a simple people is reflected outwardly in such tangibles as their dress and their toys. 8 The third and final tenet of the Amish faith is a strong commitment to the group. 1 John 3:16 states, "This is how we know what love is. Jesus Christ laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers." John Hostetler, in his book Amish Society, describes some of the ways the Amish care for and are committed to their brothers. Perhaps the most vivid example of this is what would be known and the barn-raising day. If any of you have seen the movie Witness, you will recall the barn- raising scene, where the entire community of twenty to thirty families came together to join forces and build a barn. Barn-raising day is a very common occurrence among Amish communities, and they use it to provide new barns, either for newlyweds who are just starting out, or for families whose original barns have been destroyed by fire or rains. And this barn is actually a gift from the entire community to that family, since all fo the builders of the barn share in the cost of the materials. 9 A second way we can see how the Amish are dedicated to their group is in times of hardship. For example, if there is a birth in the family or a death in the family, the neighbors of that family will come together and they will cook for the family, care for their children, tend their crops, and do everything necessary until that family is able to emotionally and physically recuperate. 10 Lastly, we can see how the Amish are dedicated to their group in the way they care for the elderly. The Amish elderly are treated with the greatest respect, and they hold all of the authority and leadership positions in the community. Instead of sending their elderly to nursing homes, they build additions onto their farmhouses, where the elderly grandparents can live comfortably and have their needs provided for. Certainly, this strong dedication to the group has its benefits. John Ruth, in A Quiet and Peaceable Life, describes one of these benefits as "a powerful deliverance: so sense the blending of your thoughts and prayers with those who would give their lives for you." 11 This morning we have briefly reviewed the three major tenets of the Amish faith. That is separation from this world, simplicity in the world, and strong dedication to their group. Clearly, the Amish have chosen a different path in life than have most of us: one that is not so fancy, not so modern, not so fast-paced, and perhaps, one that is not so bad after all.

NOTES LB Patrick Bailey got the first punt block of his NFL career on Sunday, getting his arm on a Pat McAfee punt in the end zone. Shortly after, teammate Jason McCourty recovered the ball for a touchdown. Bailey even had a wound to show for his efforts. After the game, Bailey's right biceps still bore a red spot where his arm had made contact with the football. WR Nate Washington grabbed the goal post after he scored his second touchdown of the game and dunked the ball over it. "I actually was thinking about that (that I might get stuck), so that was the reason I grabbed the goalpost, so I wouldn't get hung," Washington said. The Titans will face their former first-round pick from 2005 - Adam "Pacman" Jones - on Sunday when the Cincinnati Bengals come to town. "He was an exciting player when he was here and when he was on the field," coach Mike Munchak said. "We had some exciting players that year with him and with Vince (Young). Wh...

Think pink!
July 30, 2014 5:02 pm EDT
When you think of a pink bird, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? For most people, it would be a flamingo. The flamingo is a very beautiful (and very pink) bird, but it is not a local species to say the least. Lucky for us, we have our own species of pink bird wading in our North Florida waters!

"What a strange looking bird!" exclaimed the bearded man as we looked up at the helicopter flying overhead. It was a beautiful day in July and we were standing outside. I was wearing a sundress that came down to my knees and he was decked out in a woolen long-sleeved uniform. In JULY… In Florida. This was right after he called me a "jezebel," no less.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Four people have been pulled from chilly San Francisco Bay after a woman fell into the water and three others jumped in to save her.
KGO-TV reports the woman was taking pictures from a pier with views of the Golden Gate Bridge near Crissy Field Saturday when she fell into the water.
Fire officials said three people jumped into the bay to try to save her before rescuers from the Coast Guard and the city Fire Department responded to the scene. They performed CPR and revived her at the scene before taking her to the hospital.
The news station said one of the Good Samaritans was taken to the hospital for examination; the other two were not injured.

1. A polymer having repeating units corresponding to the structure ##STR8## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of ##STR9## where z is 1, 2, 3, or 4, A is divalent substituted or unsubstituted aromatic radical, y is in the range of 0.10 to 0 and x is in the range of 0.02 to 0.90 and n is at least 50.

4. The polymer of claim 1 wherein the aromatic radical is unsubstituted phenylene.
5. The polymer of claim 1 wherein z is 4.
6. The polymer of claim 1 wherein R is ##STR10##

10. A polymer having repeating units corresponding to the structure ##STR11## wherein y is in the range of 0.18 to 0.001 and x is in the range of 0.10 to 0.80 and n is at least 80.
The invention relates to a fluorinated copoly(arylene sulfide). These polymers exhibit excellent adhesion to metal surfaces.
Copolymers of poly(phenylene sulfide) and other aromatic radicals are known in the art. Japanese Patent J6 1231 030 A discloses copolymers of poly(phenylene sulfide) with 1 to 5 mol % of biphenylene or triphenylene units. Japanese Patent J6 1225-218-A disclosed a copolymer with sulfone groups which is said to be a block copolymer. Japanese Patent J6-1293-225-A discloses poly(phenylene sulfide) containing diphenyl ether units.
Copoly(arylene sulfide) polymers prepared by heating a diiodoaromatic compound in the presence of elemental sulphur are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,786,713. These polymers can be described as corresponding to the structure ##STR3## where y is in the range of 0.5 to 0.001.
We have now discovered that this polymer can be modified by use of certain specific aromatic radicals which have been substituted with fluorine atoms to produce a polymer which has excellent adhesion to metals. The fluorinated aromatic radicals are incorporated into the polymer by using diiodo fluorinated aromatic compounds as a comonomer along with the iodoaromatic compound and sulfur.
The polymer of this invention can be described as having repeating units corresponding to the structure ##STR4## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of ##STR5## where z is 1, 2, 3, or 4, A is divalent substituted or unsubstituted aromatic radical, y is in the range of 0.10 to 0, preferably 0.08 to 0.001 and more preferably 0.18 to0.001 and x is in the range of 0.02 to 0.90, preferably 0.05 to 0.85 and more preferably 0.10 to 0.80 and n is at least 50, preferably at least 80.
The fluorinated copoly(arylene sulfide) of this invention is prepared by reacting the diiodo fluorinated compound corresponding to the above structures, the diiodo aromatic compound and sulfur in the same manner as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,786,713 for the copoly(arylene sulfide) not containing the fluorinated divalent aromatic radicals.
The diiodoaromatic and the fluorinated diodoaromatic staring materials of the present invention may be prepared by methods well known in the art.
In a preferred embodiment the diiodoaromatic radical is phenylene, biphenylene, diphenyl ether, or naphthalene and is prepared by use of the diiodo forms of these materials. In a most preferred embodiment the aromatic radical is unsubstituted phenylene.
In a preferred embodiment the value of z for the fluorinated diiodoaromatic compound in 4. In a most preferred embodiment, the fluorinated diiodoaromatic compound is 2,3,5,6 tetrafluoro-1,4-diiodobenzene which contributes the radical ##STR6##
The amount of fluoro containing monomer that can be employed range from 2 to 90 mol % with a preferred range of 5 to 85 mol % and a more preferred range to 10 to 80 mol %.
Thus, in the most preferred embodiment of this invention the fluorinated copoly(arylene sulfide) has repeating units corresponding to the structure ##STR7## wherein y is in the range of 0.18 to 0.001 and x is in the range of 0.10 to 0.80 and n is at least 80.
The melt viscosity of the copolymers is a minimum of 500 poise and more preferably 1000 poise as measured at 300� C. There is no practical upper limit of the melt viscosity of the copolymers as higher melt viscosities do not render them unsuitable for use. For example, melt viscosities exceeding 100,000 poise at 300� C. can be readily fabricated into films or other shapes.
Sulfur is reacted as elemental sulfur and may consist of any of the standard forms which are possible for elemental sulfur. That is, the sulfur may be present in any of its allotropic modifications such as orthorhombic cyclooctasulfur (S8) or any other cyclic elemental sulfur such as any of the cyclosulfur species having 6-12 sulfur atoms. Additionally, any crystalline form of sulfur may be used in the present reaction. Surprisingly, impurities in the elemental sulfur do not appear to affect the efficiency or selectivity of the present polymerization reaction. The sulfur preferably has a purity of about 98%-100%, although sulfur having a lower degree of purity may be used. This lack of sensitivity to the presence of impurities in the sulfur is advantageous to the present process when used as a commercial process since highly purified sulfur is not required and the associated expense is not incurred.
In the process used to prepare the polymer of this invention sulfur reacts with both the diiodo fluorinated aromatic compound and the diiodoaromatic compound eliminating elemental iodine and forming the polymer.
The formation of polymer is not sensitive to the relative stoichiometry of the diiodoaromatic compounds and sulfur. Accordingly, an excess of sulfur or an excess of diiodoaromatic compounds may be used in the polymerization process. When excess sulfur is used, some disulfide linkages are observed in the polymer. Decreasing amounts of sulfur result in decreasing levels of disulfide linkages in the final polymer. When the diiodoaromatic compounds are present in excess, polymerization to high polymer can still occur, if the excess diiodoaromatic compounds are removed during final polymerization.
The polymerization reaction is preferably carried out in the absence of solvent by merely heating and reacting the sulfur, diiodo fluorinated aromatic compound and the diiodoaromatic compounds. Under these conditions, the diiodo fluorinated aromatic compound and the diiodoaromatic compound acts as a solvent for the sulfur which is melted thereby forming a substantially homogeneous solution enabling a facile and complete reaction.
In another embodiment, the diiodo fluorinated aromatic compound and the diiodoaromatic compound can be dissolved in an organic solvent which is inert to the reaction with iodine and sulfur. High boiling inert aromatic solvents are preferred such as, for example, aromatic hydrocarbons, diarylsulfides, diarylethers and diarylsulfones. It is preferable to use a solvent which corresponds to the diiodoaromatic compound which is being polymerized. Thus, for example, in a polymerization using diiodobenzene as the diiodoaromatic compound, one might use benzene, naphthalene or diphenyl sulfide as a solvent.
During the polymerization reaction between the diiodo fluorinated aromatic compound, the diiodoaromatic compound diiodobenzene and sulfur elemental iodine is produced and evolves from the reaction melt or solution. Removal of the elemental iodine is not necessary to cause completion of the polymerization reaction but is highly desirable to enable recycling in the overall process. The iodine may be removed by passing a stream of air or an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon over or through the reaction mass at atmospheric or superatmospheric pressure or alternatively by applying a vacuum to the reaction apparatus. The elemental iodine may be collected and used as a commercial product or as a reactant for further chemical processes.
The polymerization reaction is generally conducted at a temperature above about 175� C. Although the reaction may be conducted at temperatures below 175� C., the polymerization reaction is much slower. There is no particular upper temperature limit on the polymerization reaction, which may be conducted at any temperature below the decomposition temperature of the diiodoaromatic compound. For most polymerization reactions, temperatures in the range of about 175�-400� C. will be suitable, although for particular diiodoaromatic compounds temperatures in excess of 400� C. may be used. Particularly preferred temperature ranges are from about 180� to about 350� C. while the most preferred temperature range is from about 220� to about 350� C.
The reaction is generally conducted for a period of at least one-half hour and is continued for up to about 10 hours or longer, and reaction times approaching infinity are theoretically possible. The exact reaction time will depend on the diiodoaromatic compound, the engineering requirements of the process, and the specific molecular weight, viscosity and physical properties of the desired product.
The polymerization reaction may be carried out in a batch reaction vessel or may be carried out as a semi-continuous or continuous process. Agitation of the reaction mixture is optional, however, agitation or stirring assists in the production and yield of the polymeric product. Agitation of the reaction mixture may be accomplished by any known method, such as mechanical stirring or by passing a stream of gas through the reaction mixture.
In a preferred embodiment, the polymerization reaction is conducted on a continuous basis with the diiodo fluorinated aromatic compound, the diiodoaromatic compound and sulfur being combined in a continuous staged reactor to form a reaction melt. An inert gas such as nitrogen or argon is passed through the melt, preferably in a countercurrent direction, thereby aiding in agitation and mixing of the reaction melt and at the same time removing the elemental iodine which is evolved and sweeping it out of the reactor. An oxygen-containing gas may be used as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,826,956. Alternatively, a vacuum may be applied to the reactor to remove the elemental iodine as it is generated. A sweep of an oxygen-containing gas may also be used as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,826,956. It should be noted that the reaction proceeds equally well under batch conditions and combinations of batch and continuous processes are considered to be well within the scope of the present invention.
The polymer of this invention is useful for preparation of various shaped articles such as pellets, fibers and molded articles. The polymer can be prepared into these shaped articles by conventional processes, such as injection molding, melt spinning, and melt extrusion.
This examples illustrates preparation of a polymer in accordance with this invention.
Into a 500-mL, 3-neck, round bottom flask are weighed the following: 33 g sulfur (1.029 mol), 327.9 g p-diiodobenzene (0.994 mol), 85.2g 2,3,4,5-tetrafluoro-1,4-diiodobenzene (0.212 mol, 21 mol percent), and 0.8 g of 2,4-diiodo-1-nitrobenzene to act as a catalyst. The flask was fitted with a 350 mm long Vigreux column, a mechanical stirrer through the center joint, and an inlet tube for a slow air sweep. The column was attached via a distillation head and a takeoff tube to a distillation receiver which was cooled in dry ice. The receiver was connected to a vacuum source. The flask was maintained at 200 torr pressure and immersed in a metal bath controlled at 232� C. The air sweep was held at 0.1 cubic feet per hour. It was held under these conditions for 2.5 hr, at which time the bath temperature was raised to 242� C. After 1.5 hr, the pressure was reduced to 120 torr, held for 30 minutes and then reduced to 30 torr where it was held for an additional 30 minutes and finally to less than 2 torr for the remainder of the reaction. The air sweep was discontinued at this point. The bath temperature was then increased to 250� C. After 1 hour under these conditions the bath temperature was raised to 300� C. and held for an additional 25 minutes. After this, the metal bath was removed and the polymer cooled and granulated. The polymer has a melt viscosity of 95,960 poise at 300� C. and produced very tough pressed films. The polymer Tg was measured as 106� C.
This example illustrates preparation of a copoly(arylene sulfide) polymer known in the art.
The preparation of Example 1 was repeated except the amount of p-diiodobenzene was 410.0 g (1.243 mol) and no diiodo fluorinated aromatic compound was used. The viscosity of the polymer was 120,600 poise at 300� C. Pressed films of this polymer were very tough. The Tg of the polymer was 96� C.
This example illustrates the surprisingly high adhesion of the fluorinated copoly(arylene sulfide) polymer of this invention compared to the copoly(arylene sulfide) polymer of the prior art.
The lap sheer strength of both the polymer of the invention prepared in Example 1 and the polymer of the prior art prepared in Example 2 is determined in the following manner. Freshly cleaned, one inch wide tin-free steel strips of 0.005 in. thickness were selected. Pieces of pressed polymer film of one inch square area were pressed between two such strips at 300� C. for 20 sec. in a press and cooled in the air. The bonds were made in a conventional lap shear configuration and tested at a crosshead speed of 0.05 in./min. The peak value of the bond in lb./in. was reported.
The lap sheer strength of the polymer of the invention was 309 while the lap sheer strength of the polymer of the prior art was 281.

App Store Updates: The Gift That (Sometimes) Keeps on Giving
Everyone agrees that the release of apps for the iPhone and iPod touch has been a huge net positive, and though the App Store continues to have well-documented problems, it's great that there's a central place to search and buy software. Yet due to an unexpected feature—the ability to "Update" apps after purchase—the App Store made a major change to consumer expectations for both Apple and third-party software: no longer is the first software release considered to be "final," and in some cases, it's possible that an app won't even be working fully on day one. Developers have come to expect that they can make fixes in updates that may come days, weeks, or months after the initial purchase.
For users, this perpetual beta approach to software development has alternated between maddening and beneficial, as some developers have used their first release or three as opportunities to charge people while working out kinks, and others have created feature complete 1.0 releases with subsequent updates adding more content and features for free. Reviewers such as us have become accustomed to receiving "but wait!" e-mails from developers: "sorry it didn't work in that last version," we hear, "but the new one is just about to go up and fix it." For obvious reasons, this has become tiresome; users, including us, are actually depending on these apps to do what they've been marketed to do without having to wait around for a patch. "It just works" used to be an Apple fan's mantra; now it's somewhat of a pleasant surprise.
Thankfully, there have been a number of noteworthy developers who have followed in the prior Apple spirit, taking solid, completely working software and improving it after release, turning the prospect of an update into a treat—possibly a reason to re-play a game again, or recommend it to a friend. Here are a few of the ones that we've found noteworthy in recent months.
Zen Bound: Shapes are presented, and you wrap rope around them in an effort to cover as much of the surface area as possible. Secret Exit added a large new collection of stages (the Tree of Nostalgia), bringing the current total to 76, and made visual improvements after the initial release.
Real Racing: Twelve new vehicles, 6-player Wi-Fi, environmental vehicle shadows, and other additions were made in two July updates to this already spectacular driving game.
Zombieville USA: This simple, cartoony zombie-shooting side scroller added melee weapons—a baseball bat to start, and a hammer as an upgrade—plus improved controls in subsequent updates, making the game a little deeper and more fun to play.
Tetris: EA's excellent version of the classic puzzle game recently added iPod music support, enabling you to create your own playlist from within the game, or select an existing playlist rather than listening to the game's own tunes.
Unfortunately, not all of the app updates have added features—some of the ones people used to love have slid backwards, or transformed themselves into restricted versions in order to sell new releases, angering past fans in the process. Notably, the free Palringo Instant Messenger flipped out users when it rebranded as Palringo Instant Messenger Lite, setting the stage for a paid version, and leading to one-star reviews with complaints that features such as theme changing and group administration had been pulled to "make a… buck." Meanwhile, competitors released superior upgraded versions with features such as Push Notification support, and Palringo went from being our IM application of choice to a faded pick within days.
We're curious: what are some of the most noteworthy updates you've seen for iPhone and iPod touch apps in the last three or four months—positive or negative? Do you follow the Updates number in iTunes or on your iPhone/iPod regularly, or do you stop checking once you've made the initial purchase? Are you finding that updates are more about bug fixes or feature additions? Share your thoughts in the comments box below.

That's the way IM+ was… they gave it away for free for about a week, then it returned to being $10. That was fine- I got it during the free period, so I was happy and receiving updates for free. One day, the update renamed it "Lite", and suddenly the features stopped. They ran a promotion, then killed it themselves. Fail.

Things, a task manager, has one of the best Mac/iPhone interfaces in the business. But after successfully moving out of beta last year and becoming a paid product (primarily by making Apple's short list of good apps), they have virtually stopped all development of features and bug fixes to get an Apple Developer's Award. One of the big bugs has been synching between the Macs and iPhones, but they're ignored this and other problems to curry Apple's favor, get more sales and increase profits. While their user base complains vociferously on the forums which have been cut off from Cultured Codes main site!

Gartner says declining PC shipments in fourth quarter of 2012 signal shift of PC market
Posted on 15-Jan-2013 09:37.
Filed under:
Consumer Electronics
Worldwide PC shipments totaled 90.3 million units in the fourth quarter of 2012, a 4.9 percent decline from the fourth quarter of 2011, according to preliminary results by Gartner, Inc.
Analysts said the PC industrys problems point to something beyond a weak economy. Tablets have dramatically changed the device landscape for PCs, not so much by cannibalizing PC sales, but by causing PC users to shift consumption to tablets rather than replacing older PCs, said Mikako Kitagawa, principal analyst at Gartner. Whereas as once we imagined a world in which individual users would have both a PC and a tablet as personal devices, we increasingly suspect that most individuals will shift consumption activity to a personal tablet, and perform creative and administrative tasks on a shared PC. There will be some individuals who retain both, but we believe they will be exception and not the norm. Therefore, we hypothesize that buyers will not replace secondary PCs in the household, instead allowing them to age out and shifting consumption to a tablet.
This transformation was triggered by the availability of compelling low-cost tablets in 2012, and will continue until the installed base of PCs declines to accommodate tablets as the primary consumption device, Ms. Kitagawa said. On the positive side for vendors, the disenfranchised PCs are those with lighter configurations, which mean that we should see an increase in PC average selling prices (ASPs) as users replace machines used for richer applications, rather than for consumption.
During the holiday season, consumers no longer viewed PCs as the number one gift item. Given a variety of increasingly more attractive devices and services, consumers directed their attention elsewhere. Analysts said there was uptake of very low priced notebooks as a part of mega holiday deals, but this uptake did little to boost holiday PC sales.
The launch of Microsofts Windows 8 did not have a significant impact on PC shipments in the fourth quarter. Analysts said some PC vendors offered somewhat lackluster form factors in their Windows 8 offerings and missed the excitement of touch. New products are coming to market, and this could drive churn within the installed base.
HP regained the top position in worldwide PC shipments in the fourth quarter of 2012 with 14.6 million PCs shipped, however the companys shipments did not grow compared to a year ago. Analysts said HP most likely gave up a certain margin level to gain market shares.
Lenovo dropped to the No. 2 position in the fourth quarter of 2012 with 13.9 million PCs sold, but it experienced the best growth rate (8.2 percent) among the top five PC vendors worldwide. Lenovos growth exceeded regional growth rates in North America, EMEA and Asia/Pacific, but lower than the industry average in Latin America and Japan. In North America, Lenovo performed well by expanding in the retail market and protecting professional market.
Following HP and Lenovo are Dell (9.2 million), Acer (8.6 illion), ASUS (6.5 million) and other OEMs with 37.3 million PCs shipped.
In the U.S., PC shipments totaled 17.5 million units in the fourth quarter of 2012, a 2.1 percent decline from the fourth quarter of 2011. Again HP is the top PC seller in the US market with 4.6 million PCs shipped, followed by Dell (3.3 million) and Apple (2.1 million PCs sold).
Consumers holiday spending went into other products and services, and U.S. holiday sales became less important for PC sales. For professionals, the fourth quarter is typically a good sales season because of last minutes PC purchases before the tax year-end. Our early research indicates that there was good growth in professional PC sales, Ms. Kitagawa said.
These numbers include desk-based PCs and mobile PCs, including mini-notebooks but not media tablets such as the iPad. Data is based on the shipments selling into channels.
PC shipments in EMEA totaled 28.1 million units in the fourth quarter of 2012, a 9.6 percent decrease from the fourth quarter of 2011.Western Europe remained the weak point across EMEA, as Central and Eastern Europe and the Middle East and Africa saw growth quarter-on-quarter.
The PC market continues to face many headwinds. The launch of Windows 8 had no impact on PC demand, especially as Ultramobile products were both limited in supply, as well as being priced too high, said Ranjit Atwal, research director at Gartner. The holiday season mostly saw retailers clearing Windows 7 notebook inventory or driving volume of low-end notebooks. Furthermore, the increasing choice of tablets at decreasing price points no doubt became a favorite Christmas present ahead of PCs.
In the fourth quarter of 2012, mobile PC shipments decreased 11 percent while desktop PC shipments declined 6 percent year-on-year, said Isabelle Durand, principal research analyst at Gartner. However, all-in-one form factor models from Asus, Lenovo and HP look like a promising platform for the future.
PC shipments in Asia/Pacific totaled 29.9 million units in the fourth quarter of 2012, a 1.8 percent decline from the fourth quarter of 2011. Vendors struggled to offer compelling products to convince buyers to upgrade and attract new buyers as consumers' interest continues to be on smartphones and tablets. The introduction of Windows 8 met with lukewarm response and availability was primarily on the higher-end models, which were priced beyond the mainstream price point for volume sales.
For the 2012 year PC shipments were 352.7 million units, a 3.5 percent decline from 2011. HP retained the top spot in the global PC market, accounting for 16 percent of the market with 56.5 million PCs shipped. Lenovo was the No. 2 vendor with 14.8 percent market share with 52.1 million units and Dell came in third with 37.6 million units.

Judges highlight company's technology that converts waste into fuel.
InEnTec LLC, a Bend, Ore., firm that is involved in converting mixed waste into clean energy and other end products, has been named a winner of the Wall Street Journal's 2010 Technology Innovation Award in Energy.
The award was given in recognition of InEnTec LLC's waste gasification system, the Plasma Enhanced Melter (PEM). The company says that PEM can convert municipal, commercial, medical and most industrial and hazardous wastes into clean, renewable synthetic gas that can be used as a fuel for electricity, produce transportation fuels or to produce chemical products
In a statement, Karl Schoene, president and CEO of InEnTec, says, "InEnTec is extremely pleased with the recognition our PEM technology continues to receive in the energy industry and in the business press –last year as part of the Platts Global Energy Awards in Sustainable Technology, and today as winner of The Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation Award in Energy. With work on two new PEM facilities underway this year, 2010 is an exciting year for InEnTec."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
It's a whole new ball game
CIS season brings not only new stadium, but new culture to Bison football
Brian Dobie will be the first to admit it: his office -- the one he has called his home away from home since 1996 -- is an absolute mess, the epitome of organized chaos.
There isn't one patch of floor visible, other than where the door swings open and closed. Pictures are coming down from the wall, garbage bags are full of close to two decades of stuff and, amid all the rubble, he even found his first playbook from the '96 season -- sticky-note messages to himself still attached to the cover.
The University of Manitoba head football coach will soon be moving across the street to spiffy new digs at Investors Group Field and, in the meantime, he's got spring practice to organize before he heads to Toronto to work as an analyst for TSN's CFL draft day coverage on Monday and then to London, Ont. for next week's East-West Game.
And in those moments when he isn't on the phone or talking to a coach, a player or former Bomber boss Paul LaPolice, Dobie -- now 60 -- is positively beaming. That part isn't new, for Dobie always seems to have that kid-on-Christmas-Eve grin on his mug.
But this year, it's different. This year that smile is even bigger and broader.
"New season and hope always springs eternal, right?" begins Dobie on Friday, just a few hours before he led his 2013 squad in its first spring practice. "But even more so this year. The new stadium? I mean, wow!"
Dobie, like just about every coach in every sport all over the planet, will open this spring session with some concerns about his roster. He's worried about the depth on his defensive line, will be replacing starting quarterback Cam Clark, who graduated, and has his fingers crossed the vets and new recruits in his secondary can really step up this season.
But for years Dobie & Co. essentially won despite their facilities which, to be kind, were laughable. And now the new stadium -- with all the amenities -- will take Bison football to a new level.
And, Dobie hopes, help develop something else.
"We had a decade where we really ran the table," Dobie explained. "We were the third-winningest program in the nation, we went to a couple of Vaniers, we won in '07... we had our culture.
"But between '07 and now it's like we were in never-never land. We just weren't finding the right mix, the right fit, the right everything and the stadium situation kept looming.
"Now we are within one inch of moving in and in my opening address (Thursday night) to the team I said, 'All of you have an opportunity not to start a new program, but to input on the culture that will be carried forward from now on. It's a whole new deal now.'
"Yeah, we're still the University of Manitoba, yeah, it's still Bison football. That stadium represents a cultural change opportunity. The players that have seen it are blown away and can't wait to get in. But now it's about backing it up."
The Bisons will get a better feel for the club they've pieced together over this weekend's on-field sessions, but hope to build on last year's 4-4 campaign that featured the program's first playoff appearance since winning the 2007 national championship.
Still, last year also ended with back-to-back losses to the powerhouse Calgary Dinos that, Dobie confesses, shattered the confidence of everyone in Bison colours. So, again, 2013 begins with an effort to change the culture but also about re-establishing a winning attitude.
"That was not a good way to end the season," said Dobie. "It's one thing to lose, but losing the way we did... Calgary outwilled us. As disappointed as I am in saying that and humbled as I am in saying that, we were outcoached and we were outplayed. As it began to slip away they imposed their will on us, like a good team should do.
"So, the first thing we have to do is raise our confidence level. I think we have a good group of players and a significant amount of talent.
"Now we have to back up what we look like by establishing who we are."
