Apple Secretly Acquired "Pandora For Books" Startup BookLamp To Battle Amazon
The details are not clear yet, but the source says, "in broad strokes, the goal that [founder Aaron] Stanton and three of the folks he was working with from the original BookLamp crew is to beat Amazon at their own game."
"I can tell you that in the next year to 18 months you will see some fairly major initiatives focused on books and reading coming out of Apple."
Huh. And just earlier today I discussed the problem of Apple and eBooks with Baldur Bjarnason.
If Apple wants to boost sales, they have to treat books like books.
A Kindle book can be read on any damned platform — Kindle device, iOS, Android, Mac, PC.
Books bought from the Apple iBookstore are locked to Apple's iOS and OS X hardware, period. Who wants book lock-in? No one.
Apple can think better recommendations will help, but if they want to be serious in selling books against Amazon — and with over one billion devices out there, they should — they need to liberate books from their Apple-only grasp.
And on the writer's side of things, don't require OS X hardware to submit to the iBookstore.

L'Europe va mettre fin aux formats propriétaires pour les livres numériques
Europe will put an end to proprietary formats for digital books
While the European Parliament will be renewed in May, the European Commission, which will also be fully reconstructed by the end of the year, embarks on a surprising activism: she finally grabs the file interoperability digital books, with the aim of forcing retailers using proprietary formats to end these systems.
Amazon and Apple, the two market leaders, are directly targeted. Currently, a digital book bought on Amazon.fr can only be read on the Kindle, the e-tailer reading lamp, or one of its applications. Reading lamp which does not accept the open format ePub. It is the same with the iBook Store, Apple's digital library, which does not allow the reading on the terminals of the Apple brand.
Assuming this isn't an April Fool's item, what will happen?

Kobo objects to potentially "devastating" Competition Bureau agreement on agency pricing
By analogy, in the US, when Agency Lite was brought into existence, Kobo saw its net revenues steadily decline. Kobo has since stopped investing in marketing in the US, closed its office in Chicago and is focusing on other markets. Its market share and revenues are now negligible there.
Boldfaced emphasis added by me.
Well, there it is. What I've thought was the case for at least the past year.
B&N's Nook division goes into a death-spiral of losses.
Sony pulls out and sends it eBook customers to Kobo.
Now Kobo is saying it has basically written off the American market.
That leaves Amazon as undisputed winner.
Tell me again how ePub 3 is going to save everyone from Amazon…

From writer Alan Glynn, whose excellent novel The Dark Fields was transformed into the rather shallow movie, Limitless.
He has a full-blown blog too, with several short stories. All this time I didn't know — because he sucks at promoting himself.
Anyway, what Alan says is what most readers can identify with. And what's weird is that while I sit here typing this, I realize I don't have the same impulse towards TV and movies. I haven't yet seen all of Breaking Bad, but I'm not in any panic to do so — as I am to get to all the books I have waiting to be read.

I believe in stripping DRM from the eBooks you've paid for. Not to then pass along those eBooks to others for free. People should pay writers for their work. But you have a right to be free of the potential harm that DRM can do. See above tweet!

District's Workforce:
Annual Report Required by the District of Columbia Retirement Reform Act
GGD-92-78: Published: Mar 31, 1992. Publicly Released: Mar 31, 1992.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4268
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed whether the annual federal payment to the District of Columbia Police Officers and Fire Fighters Retirement Fund exceeded the established limit.
GAO found that: (1) there was no reduction required in the fiscal year 1993 federal payment to the District's Police and Fire Fighter's Retirement Fund; and (2) the determination made by the enrolled actuary met, in all material respects, the requirements of the law. GAO also found that: (1) 21 firefighters hired before February 15, 1980, retired on disability in 1991; and (2) the District responded favorably to incentives for reducing the percentage of disability retirements.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: The appropriation act did not grant an exception. GAO does not know whether future exceptions will be granted and is therefore closing the recommendation.
Matter: If, in future appropriations acts, Congress permits the exclusion of a designated number of retirees from the computation of the disability retirement rate, it should consider specifying whether those retirees should be included in, or excluded from, the denominator.

It's no secret that I've been outspoken about not liking frameworks for quite some time now. The truth is, I believe that frameworks have a lot to offer. The most significant benefit that organizations stand to gain from using frameworks is a standardized way to code and an environment that is generally more conducive to allowing multiple developers to work on a project at the same time. If frameworks help to standardize how things are done and make it easier for many developers to work on a project, why have I been vocal about not liking them? Am I just trying to create controversy?
The truth is that by and large, yes, I am trying to cause controversy...but only because I want to make people think - a statement that I make for a very good reason. I don't like frameworks because I've met a lot of developers over the years who have maybe one or two years of experience building applications with a framework but who don't have a good grasp of the CFML programming fundamentals you'd expect from someone with a few years' experience. I've met many developers who aren't capable of developing anything outside the context of the framework they're used to. In these scenarios, the framework is a crutch.
I view poor developers as a symptom of frameworks. Is this the fault of frameworks? No, not at all. There's nothing about a framework that says you can't use it and still be a terrific programmer. It's the fault of the developers, for sure, and it is for that reason that I don't truly dislike frameworks. I don't think any one framework should be used to build every application, and I personally prefer to develop without them, but when it's appropriate I see nothing wrong with using them. If developers are really good at what they do, they should feel comfortable and be competent working without a framework and/or bouncing in and out of several frameworks. This is unfortunately not the case for the majority, though not all, of the people who use frameworks. It is especially true for developers who began their programming career working on projects that are built with frameworks and have never had the need to build an application without one.
You might be surprised to hear that I have a similar dislike of object-oriented programming and an even stronger distaste for design patterns. That's an extremely controversial statement to make and I'm sure that if my commentary on frameworks didn't upset or confuse the majority of our readers, talking poorly about OOP and design patterns will. Now that I've managed to get everyone worked up, let's talk about it.
What could I not like about object-oriented programming? Similar to frameworks, I actually do like OOP, but I don't like what it's done to ColdFusion developers. This is truer for design patterns, which I view as the buzzword of the day right now. The reasons behind these statements are simple to explain, but very difficult to do anything about. I spend a lot of my "free time" reading about object theory and various thoughts and approaches to software architecture. The vast majority of the reading is not specific to ColdFusion but is certainly applicable. Likewise, my statements about OOP and design patterns are not specific to CF but apply to developers in all environments. An overwhelming number of programmers, not just CF but Java, .NET, C++, etc., talk about object-oriented programming without really understanding it at all. The roots of OOP are grounded in ideas, radical at the time they came out, about how to think about software development. Most of the books, courses, and, therefore, developers today have completely missed the point when it comes to OOP. These misconceptions and misapplied ideas are magnified greatly when developers begin throwing around talk about design patterns, which is why I said that I don't like them. The truth is, I think design patterns are an excellent learning tool and I am an avid supporter of OOP...but only when they're approached the right way.
My definition of "the right way" is for developers to learn "Object Think." Object Think is an approach to thinking about the objects that make up an application and is used for object modeling solutions. The original OOP concepts were based on this line of thought but it was quickly lost among developers, as they tend to use sequential thought when formulating solutions. Sequential thought comes more naturally to most people with a background in traditional programming and, to be honest, tends to be a more natural line of thought when formulating machine solutions, as programmers do. I have spent the better part of my free time for the past five or six years studying the writings and interpretations of the architect Christopher Alexander, software architecture pioneer Dr. David Parnas, Kent Beck (best known as the founding father of XP), and a handful of other early thinkers in the realm of object thought and behavioral programming. To apply these philosophies and thoughts to ColdFusion development requires changing the way we plan and execute solutions. At the heart of this change is the need to be more object-centric, achievable via object-personification, in our approach to planning applications.
Describing a philosophy of how to model applications is obviously beyond the scope of this editorial. It's beyond the scope of an article and, in all fairness, is even difficult to achieve within the limitations of a book. My Sensible Assembly Methodology is based on these teachings, taken from Streamlined Object Modeling, Object Think, other thoughts and writings, and my architecture and development experience in the real world. Due to an extremely hectic schedule, I should have some documentation on that by the end of March at the latest, with a book to follow. My advocating a methodology (SAM) as opposed to a framework is driven by a personal belief that by doing so, I can offer developers something more valuable and transferable - a better way to think about development.
What is important to me, for the good of the community, is not whether developers choose to use one framework or another or choose to use my methodology or another; it is that we not only accept that the way we solve problems and develop software could be better, but examine every alternative approach in our attempts to find better ways to work. This idea has become more important with the recent buzz about Web 2.0 and next-generation Web applications. Simply throwing a Flex or AJAX front end on our application isn't good enough - in order to develop a true next-generation interface we have to change the way we think about our users and the experiences they should have when they interact with what we create. This is something that the XD (extreme design) group at Macromedia has been talking about for several years. As applied to software architecture, these ideas have been discussed for several decades. My hope is that now, with the vast amount of available information and the mature tools and technologies available to developers, the ColdFusion community can begin to put these ideas into practice.

You shouldn't lose sight of the ultimate goal, which is producing good, robust, scalable systems. If this can be successfully accomplished by cheap, inexperienced programmers relying on a framework that does pretty much everything for them, more power to the business that employs them.
The problem I see with frameworks is that few of them are really good and widely usable, and those that are still call for a lot of custom coding which requires good developers. Oftentimes companies spend millions to develop frameworks loaded with every possible feature, and then it becomes the proverbial hammer to which everything looks like a nail. People begin using it because it's there and a lot was invested in creating it, not because it really solves a problem.

Sorry but I feel the opposite.
Framework is the reason for bad programmers.
Companies are pushing people to use those framework that are big and inflexible.
So while thre certainly is bad programmer's, I have still to see a good framework ?
|jim 04/04/06 04:00:21 PM EDT
Poor developers using frameworks as a crutch is a symptom of them being poor developers in the first place. IMO there should be licensing for software engineers just like every other engineering profession. There are way to many script kiddies out there who have learned one framework and call themselves developers - There should be a bare minimum set of abilities you can count on a develper having, and so many don't. I can't tell you the number of "developers" I've dealt with who have degrees in philosophy or english or phys ed, who have no idea what a data structure is, but have mastered basic cold fusion, so they're now "senior programmers". Until we set a baseline bar that everyone has to hurdle to call themselves a software engineer, our industry will continue to be plauged by these frauds.

Hi, Your view may be true in the context of ColdFusion Development. But, in real application development scenarios in languages like Java, .NET, etc and in building enterprise applications where the problem solving methodoligies and the implementation needs reusable and prooved strategies for recurring problems(for ex, page iteration, adopter, MVC architectural patterns, etc) instead of developing the solution from scratch for each application that is being developed in the organization, instead to reuse existing components, build reusable services, adopt proven strategies(design patterns, etc) will certainly improve the productivity of the developer and also to build quality, reliable and scalable applications which is the most need of every application that we develop.
Yes, it is the responsibility of the developer to understand the underlying technology, logic that the framework uses and on which it is built on before started using it or understanding it while working on the project based on the framework.
In real world, frameworks make life simple and more simply makes application development more easier instead of building it from scratch.
|Jos Warmer 04/03/06 06:45:54 AM EDT
You want controverse? Ok, I will help :-). I think you are absolutely wrong. The reality is that about 10% of the programmers is good, 10% is bad and the 80% remaining is somewhere in between (and do not have it in them to become good programmers). As with many professions my guess is that this will have a normal distribution.
Since the majority of the programmer is not excellent and never will be, we need ways of making mediocre programmers productive. Using a framework is one approach (although I have seen frameworks that are too complex for this). The main issue is that these programmers need less freedom and more prefabicated stuff to work with. This might mean using frameworks, using existing components, using MDA or DSL's, etc. etc. The challenge for those that are in the 10% good group is to find ways to help make the majority of less good programmers productive.
PS: I fully agree that we need more good programmers, I just do not agree that this will ever solve our problems. There simply isn't enough potential in the world.
|Mark Walker 04/03/06 03:50:57 AM EDT
It's about time somebody said it. The multitude of frameworks, "evil" wizards and other sugar has led to a generation of inept programmers. I'm all in favour of good tools, but not a substitute for good people.
|Just some programmer 04/03/06 12:22:25 AM EDT
Any idiot can write code a computer can understand. Frameworks, design patterns, OOP, and high level languages are all just strategies to mitigate the problem size / complexity curve - a primary goal of competent programmers. Why has the science of software development continued to inch forward when it should have leapt? Why is most "OO" software still written procedurally (and with less skill than procedural code written in 1979)? A lack of competent programmers is certainly at the heart of it but you have to look further than that. Most business stakeholders have no appreciation for what we do. They simply don't care how the work gets done. In fact, doing things 'right' (refactoring, writing automated tests, etc.) can get you in hot water. As a result, there's little motivation to improve and grow in skill. Managers focus on short term goals that cost big in the long run. Shops that value excellence in execution and invest in their employees produce much higher quality software - and programmers.

While I agree with your general sentiments, reality is that not every employer can afford to spend $100-150K for "good" programmers with the desired insight and depth of understanding. Looking at the market right now, there are lots of positions only willing to pay $40-80K. For most of them, it's this level or none at all -- and I would suggest that customers and our economy are better off with the current situation, even if some of the solutions are a little rough under the covers.
I've been developing software professionally for 40 years and have been fortunate to have been at the state of the art almost that entire time. The same issues occur in many other industries. Designers of electronics used to understand everything to the component level, but the sophistication, speeds, and associated complexity have increased to the point that only a few now have that level of insight. Many now use high-level (LSI) components without thorough insight -- and occasionally it results in glitches or poor maintainability. I say that's progress, and that the important point is to design architectures (and frameworks) that can guide those that flesh out implementations into better and more maintainable results -- and that "insightful programmers" should definitely be deployed for such architectural design.

It's no secret that I've been outspoken about not liking frameworks for quite some time now. The truth is, I believe that frameworks have a lot to offer. The most significant benefit that organizations stand to gain from using frameworks is a standardized way to code and an environment that is generally more conducive to allowing multiple developers to work on a project at the same time. If frameworks help to standardize how things are done and make it easier for many developers to work on a project, why have I been vocal about not liking them? Am I just trying to create controversy?
|Kevin Roche 03/29/06 08:07:06 AM EST
I know we will never agree on this. What would you do with all the guys who are never going to be able to develop a sensible architechture that will be suitable for each application. Would you ban them from programming altogether?
Most people are not as clever as you. Without the help of a framework their work would be much less useful.
|Brian Cassell 03/15/06 12:34:25 PM EST
I agree with your bold and controversial comments, and will add a few as well.
Frameworks provide a neat way of chopping things into millions of little pieces with the assumption of reusability and granularity. Yes, you can reuse an include file that contains an HTML open tag on every page you create, but what is the sense, what is saved? There seems to be some greater value achieved by "simplifying" things to the smallest element in a framework based implementation. I prefer to open a page and be able to read from top to bottom to see what the heck is happening, rather than looking at the 10 included files that just overly complicate what probably could have been right on one page.
Separation between presentation and content is another popular idea that I disagree with. Presentation is nothing without content, and content is nothing without presentation. They add value to each other. What good is an over engineered application that supposedly can be updated independently of the interface if the front-end design sucks and has no integrated relationship with the content? I prefer to begin with a graphic design interface including content, and then work the code hooks into it, respecting the interface as designed, yet adding the desired functionality.
What do you think?
|Edward Trudeau 03/15/06 10:33:14 AM EST
I don't know, Simon...I kind of want to say, "Waah." Some developers aren't where they "should be" after two years of development using frameworks; some are throwing around design pattern names without really "getting it." I'm just not feeling the pain. Are they forcing salaries down? Are they introducing security risks? Are they devaluing resumes with their empty-calorie experience? Are they giving CF a bad name? Are you offended on principle?
All of the above are probably true to a certain extent, but it seems like exhorting developers to grasp the basics, explaining design patterns more carefully, and building an authentic "Object Think" mentality is the more profitable route.
Historically, the technocracy has enjoyed privilege precisely because of the difficulty of grasping the technology. This has inspired a kind of obscurantism that I see in my colleagues; keep it complex so that I can keep my job, I can demand high salaries, I will get the ego boost of being the go-to guy. Talk technobabble to the management - our way to "stick it to the man." Frankly, I've been excited and encouraged by the free sharing of information that I've found in the CF community. I get the impression that people like you, Ben, Ray, Joe, and Sean honestly want all of us to become great programmers and revolutionize the world with fun, useful, productivity-enhancing applications. So I'd rather see the middle way between controversy and silence: dialogue.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

I have worked for the Dalit Freedom Network for a few years as a volunteer. I was very frustrated with the fact that the organization had no ideas to share on how I could help the Dalit situation from my home in the US. Every event I had planned and I had to come up with my own ideas. Then I was asked to share these ideas with them and they then became their ideas. I received NO credit for my creative ideas and no recognition at the conference. Although my intentions for volunteering was not for recognition, I feel every volunteer needs some kind of recognition for their efforts. At the conference we learned only what some of the staff was responsible for. We did not get to hear what the other volunteers were doing to raise support. We all gave our ideas on paper. We were promised a copy, which we never received. I love what DFN represents but I hate the fact the staff seems too self involved and forget that they are there for the good of the Dalits. We spent a lot of money for the conference and NO ONE at DFN followed through with anything they promised to help us become more involved. I now work independently for the betterment of the Dalits.

In Seattle the Gamefest is hosted. On the Gamefest Microsoft shared some abstract details on DirectX 11. DX11 will be supported fully by Windows Vista and arrives in the year 2010. Some new features:
- Compute shaders - the GPU to be used for more than just 3D graphics, so that developers can take advantage of the graphics card as a parallel processor -- e.g. Physics.
- Multi-threaded resource handling -- this will allow games to better take advantage of multi-core machines
- Support for tessellation, which blurs the line between super high quality pre-rendered scenes and scenes rendered in real-time, allowing game developers to refine models to be smoother and more attractive when seen up close. A feature that ATI already supports at hardware level.

Puppy's Leg Amputated After Man Threw Him Against Bed Frame
POSTED: Monday, August 1, 2011 - 3:47pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, August 2, 2011 - 9:04am
LAS CRUCES- A man is under arrested after severely injuring a puppy, causing it to need its leg amputated.
Cody Michael Carmack, 20, was arrested on a warrant today and is charged with one count of extreme cruelty to animals.
Police say Carmack got into an argument with a 21-year-old woman who was his roommate and the owner of the dog. The woman told police that Carmack got so angry that he kicked the 5-month-old puppy and then picked it up and slammed the dog against a metal bed frame.
Police learned that the puppy, a wirehair Terrier named Thor, yelped for about an hour.
A few days later the woman took the puppy and moved into a new apartment. A 38-year-old neighbor noticed that the dog was not using its right rear leg and offered to take ownership of the puppy.
The new owner took the puppy to a veterinarian's office where he learned that the dog was suffering from a broken tibia and fibula, and that its leg would have to be amputated in order to save the puppy's life.
The puppy underwent surgery on Friday and was expected to be released back to its new owner sometime this week.
Comments News Comments
Punishment for this crime is too light. Voiceless - defenseless species victimized by a human beast allowed to walk our planet - able to commit this crime time and time again or worse. The laws need to be intensified regarding the crime for defenseless and voiceless species.
The previous 21 year old woman should be charged with animal neglect. How did she get off? Why wasn't she charged with failure to provide care? When an animal is injured & no vet care is provided this is nothing less then neglect on the original owners part.
Good thing the new owner had the common sense to take the poor thing to the vet. I say the roommate should face charges too. She saw the abuse and the nature of the injuries and did nothing.

Team reportedly pondered Geno Smith with 13th pick. Terry McCormick
The old adage goes that when you have two quarterbacks, you don't have any quarterbacks.
So what does that say for the New York Jets, who have five quarterbacks, and reportedly have been making calls trying to move up and draft a sixth QB, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
According to the report, the Jets considered Geno Smith at No. 13, but instead chose defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson of Missouri. Smith then went into freefall out of the first round, along with every other available quarterback except for E.J. Manuel. An earlier report indicated the Jets would consider Smith with their pick at 39, but if this report is correct, the Jets could be figuring that there will be a run on quarterbacks at the top of round two this evening. Others who could go in the second round include Matt Barkley and Ryan Nassib.

X.Org Server Commit Activity Continues Declining
Published on 19 May 2014 05:02 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
24 Comments
After looking earlier today at
development statistics for Wayland's Weston
, here's a fresh look at the work going into the X.Org Server.
The latest X.Org Server Git master code is up to 715,309 lines of code spanned across 13,941 commits from 450 different individuals, at least as far back their source control tracking goes.
The commit activity to X.Org Server Git remains on the decline. In 2013 there were 731 commits, in 2012 there were 1106 commits, 2011 had 1429 commits, 2009 had 1854 commits, and 2008 hit an all-time high of 2098 commits -- back then there was much refactoring going on with DRI2, etc. This year to date there's just been 339 commits -- while being a bit before half-way through the year, it looks rather unlikely (and based upon the continuing slower tend of previous years) that even 800 commits will come in 2014 to the xserver Git repository.
Dominating X.Org Server development this year have been Intel's Keith Packard and Eric Anholt. Keith continues serving as the X.Org Server release manager while he and Eric have been working lately on DRI3 and the
GLAMOR acceleration
support that was recently merged into the X.Org Server.
While GLAMOR has landed and other changes in recent months, the file and line count is still largely the same: just over 1,700 files and over 700k lines of code.
That's the short story of the X.Org Server code today that's arguably in "maintenance mode" but there's still the big work of recent time like DRI3 and GLAMOR improving the aging X stack. The
X.Org Server 1.16
release is the next major update and it's due out in July.

Academic Success Tip - Handling PressurePosted September 19th, 2011 by Kimberly K. Ballard
It is amazing that we are beginning the sixth week of the semester! Some of your professors may have started to speed up in class and cover more pages. You may be working on your first graded writing assignment for BLS, preparing for a practice exam, studying for a mid-term, or all of the above. What can you do to re-group after these first five weeks if you are feeling pressured by the workload or are worrying that you are already behind in your studying? This week's tips will provide suggestions on how to handle pressure.
- Do not stop reading for classes because you have other projects or assignments due soon. Carve out time for the projects around your reading for classes. If you focus on papers or projects and ignore class reading, you will then be confused in class and behind in your reading. If you need help finding time for both reading and other tasks, make an appointment with Dean Ballard for help with time management.

ABA Client Counseling CompetitionPosted September 19th, 2011 by Anonymous
for the 2012 ABA Client Counseling Competition will be held Friday, October 7th,
from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. A sign-up
sheet has been posted on the front door of the Moot Court Board room. The deadline
for signing up is Monday, September
26th at 5:00 p.m.
There is
no written requirement, as this is not a
"briefed" competition. Instead,
students compete in pairs of two in a simulated law office consultation in
which the students, acting as attorneys, are presented with a client
matter. They conduct an interview with a
person playing the role of the client, and then explain how they would proceed
further in the hypothetical situation. The
judges evaluate how the team elicited facts, advised about the relevant law, provided
options for proceeding, and assisted the client to make an informed choice. For
the tryout, each interview will last approximately 15 minutes; the actual
competition will be a 30-minute interview.
regional competition will take place February 11, 2012, at Northern Kentucky
University's Chase College of Law in Highland Heights, Kentucky. The regional competition consists of three
qualifying rounds with each team competing indirectly against two other teams
in each round. After the qualifying rounds, the top six teams advance to
the semifinal round, culminating with the three winning teams in the final
round. The first place team from each
regional competition will advance to the National Finals on March 16-17, 2012,
in Durham, North Carolina.
All 2L,
3L, & 4L students are encouraged to sign-up. The team is coached by Professor Leslie
Abramson and Louisville attorney Paul Schurman.
If you have any questions about
the competition or tryouts, email Jacob
Ford at firstname.lastname@example.com.
