Nokia's PHAB-ULOUS comeback attempt: Huge WinPho 8 mobe rumoured
Re: Nokia Tablet
And it's miles more secure, responsive and efficient than Android - and works better with low memory amounts...Well over 99% of WP apps and games will work even on the handsets with the smallest amount of RAM....
Oh do fuck off! NT scales no better than any other modern OS, it's not more secure and, as a kernel it uses more memory. Android can use more resources because it can put an app in a VM. This makes the whole system more secure but all systems are open to abuse.
Re: Nokia Tablet
WP8's GUI probably won't scale to tablet just like Android's didn't initially. I've got so confused by Microsoft's strategy but I think that RT is WP8 for tablets (ARM architecture, all kinds of code and app restrictions).
Can't see Nokia funding a tablet themselves. But the "Surface 2" could be be badged and rebranded as Nokia as MS tries to get away from the tarnished image. In that case expect the OS to get a lick of paint at well and be either WP for tablets or some such, even if it is RT 8.1.
Wait and see, I guess. But it's going to be increasingly hard to catch up with Samsung's UI innovations on large phones / tablets: split screen is probably already patented.

HP hammered in servers, storage, and PCs in fiscal Q3
What software sells
I've lost track of what HP bought in the last few years. After the Autonomy write-down we can assume it isn't driving sales, so what is?
Re: If Dell is making ProLiant machines now, HP is in worse trouble!
Yes, it's a bit of slip, though you could infer from the first sentence that ProLiant = industry standard.
In any case, Dell also isn't making any money from the sales even if it is stealing market share from HP. This is one reason why it is taking itself private. PCs, servers, etc. have reached saturation point which is why there is no money in volume anymore. You have exceptional products, like Apple's, to get any decent margins. I've been looking at some of the newer notebook pondering a move from my MacBook but the cheap ones are all underspecced, particularly the screens and come with Windows 8 (no thank you), the high-end waste their time with touchscreens, and there seems to be no middle ground (good but not touch screen, > 4 GB RAM, light) for € 500. If things don't improve my next machine may well be another Apple.

Re: Surely Fire Sales Are Always Limited?
The rules for promoting sales are well-known to all retailers. It's consumer protection to prevent customers being hoodwinked by incredible bargains only to be told that "they have all sold out, but we do have XYZ", with XYZ being a different product that is not discounted.
However, this is more a matter for trading standards than the ASA. Quick word with them or threaten small claims usually does the trick.
Green German gov battles to keep fossil powerplants running
This "the possibility of synthesising transport fuel using renewable power is starting to look cost effective" will be one of the most important discoveries ever. Electricity + CO2 + H2O = O2 + fuel
Currently, it is not cost-effective because all the power produced by renewables can be sold on the market. Once renewables become competitive enough to have to compete then dealing with any surplus (unsold) production becomes economical. This might well start to happen before 2020 because LPG is likely to remain significantly cheaper than petrol.
Re: nuclear is not an option
A law to prevent the import of electricity generated by whatever means would contravene the Single Market and, therefore, never pass. However, what is increasingly likely is getting consumers to buy from utilities that do not buy, say power from French nuclear plants. This is much the same as labelling food as not being genetically modified.
Of course, there are scandals related to this such as hydro-power generated from water storage pushed uphill by nuclear plants. But, over time, the push-pull effect dumping cheap surplus renewables and refusing to buy surplus nuclear power is likely to have a significant effect on surrounding markets: the build-out of both solar and wind in France in the last couple of years is impressive as EDF realises it has to adapt, it is already buying German solar power in the summer which means it needs to worry less about the problems finding water to cool its nuclear stations.
Now that the row about solar panels has been solved with China we can expect continued expansion especially in the areas suitable for solar South of the river Main. By 2020 we could be looking at regular shutdowns of power stations in the summer months. though we will need more for those cold, dark, calm winter days.
Re: What I don't understand ..
The initial policy was well-intentioned and reasonably sane (the industry happily signed up to it). It was then sabotaged by the current government pandering to the industry only to have the same government rip the new agreement in a fit of populism months later, which will lead to massive payouts to the energy companies, independent of what kind of energy is produced. There has been a political stand-off about the future which may well not get resolved by the election in September. Whichever way that turns out, nuclear is off the agenda for the life of the current plants and given the time it takes to build new ones that means no new nuclear capacity before 2030 by which time Germany will have had to find another solution anyway.
The sad situation is that Germany must now import power that is much less green than before.
Yes, but this has been going on ever since energy became tradable across borders. You're also neglecting to say that on sunny, windy days Germany is exporting cheap, clean energy to its neighbours with similar consequences for the conventional fuel plants there.
Re: Ramp up hydrogen creation
Electrolysis of water and CO2 is currently too expensive to be competitive with gas as gas, but more than competitive with petrol and diesel when sold as LPG because of the difference in tax treatment. Source, in German pp.5 Of course, tax treatment will change quickly if we all start switching to be LPG!
Also, if shale gas takes off in Europe, or even if the Americans get around to exporting it, the calculations will change again. But often, just the existence of other possibilities is enough to drive down prices: such has already been the effect of shale (and Norwegian) gas on long term contracts with Gazprom. These kind of changes are at the core of dispute of the power oligopoly in Germany: new technologies strongly favour smaller, decentralised production but their business models favour large, centralised production. Expect more propaganda from all sides as this rolls on.
The costs for nuclear plants always leave out the massive subsidies routinely given to the industry and largely ignore the costs of decommissioning and dealing with the waste. Even then they overrun massively and seeing as you cite Finland: how about the clusterfuck of the recent reactor build there?
The current noises coming from RWE, E.ON, et al. are timed to coincide with the German election and also as part of the ongoing fight about lost profits as a result of the current's government decision initially to extend the lifetime of nuclear power only to turn 180° within a year.
Renewable energy is far from a fairy tale; it is simply a requirement in countries without their own energy reserves. German industry is largely being shielded from price increases which are pushing consumers hard. Indeed some German companies are taking advantage of the situation to produce their own energy. German policy will no doubt be reformed after the election but nuclear is not an option. As retroactively adjusting feed-in tariffs would most likely be legal, electricity is going to continue to get more expensive (at € 0.25 / kWH it's already eye-watering) but plenty of adjustments can and will be made. Shale may well become an option in Europe but even without it, the possibility of synthesising transport fuel using renewable power is starting to look cost effective and would be a good way to handle the surplus production on windy, sunny days.
Furthermore, it's worth noting that even with such expensive electricity, inflation in Germany is significantly below that in the UK, where the chances of the lights going out are even higher despite the pro-nuclear lobby.

CAN-SPAM is toothless
I've been receiving e-mail from a US company (Grainger FWIW) for a while. Of course, I've unsubscribed but to no effect.
I read up on what I can do to stop it: the answer, as far as I can tell, is pretty much nothing. CAN-SPAM seems to be largely about running mail servers and little to do with consumer protection. Can't say I'm surprised.
Peak Apple? HOGWASH! Apple is 'extremely undervalued,' says Icahn
Talking to the board
I guess it's borderline. He is perfectly within his rights to demand more debt (and, therefore taxpayer)-funded share buybacks or anything else and to solicit support from others for this. But to suggest that you have special access to the board or are privy to future plans is naughty. I guess it comes down to interpretation: is here implying influence or are we inferring it? Icahn's no fool and has enough cash to pay lawyers to fight any possible case. Then, unfortunately, there are the facts: Apple is probably slightly undervalued based on the p/e ratio, and, it has more than enough cash in the bank to justify payouts either in the form of tax inefficient dividends (taxed as income) or buybacks (taxed as capital gains).
Apple will have to tread carefully on this. If Icahn can ally himself with another couple of investors he can force the board to consider his proposals officially. Even if a vote on the issue were rejected, the whole process would be highly disruptive as can be seen at Dell.
Chipzilla Atomises fondleslabs with new reference designs
Re: Biggest issue for Intel
I think having a fully-featured LLVM backend is more work than anyone is so far prepared to do. Of course, Intel has the resources to help make a difference but in doing so it would have to do work that would also benefit other architectures. And, of course, LLVM requires more memory on a device and isn't a win in every situation.
Anyway, for games isn't access to the graphics system more important than CPU? How compatible are Intel's graphics with Mali, et al.?
Not just power
Atom, a product they've mostly ignored today because its previous incarnations couldn't match ARM-derived rivals for power consumption
To be honest, Atom chips have been pretty close to ARM in power / performance for a while now but they are still significantly more expensive. In a tablet retailing for € 150 - 200 how much is actually available for the processor over say the screen, the radios and storage? And if the target market are developing economies then drop the retail price by € 100, even less budget for Intel's premium silicon.
Things might improve once Intel has SoC's but the competition isn't standing still: both Samsung and Mediatek are sampling 8-core ARM designs and Qualcomm, nVidia and TI can't be far off.

Re: Nokia's Fall from Glory
Just back from a week in blighty and I was surprised by the amount of Nokia ads on the telly. Must be costing a pretty packet. I think they've given up here in Jormany.
Nice kit but doomed.
Long tradition
Can we assume that, just like WP 7 phones, the current generation won't necessarily benefit from any update when it does come? Assuming things like multitasking are improved the hardware bar is likely to be lifted and some people might just be left holding "landfill Nokias" and wondering why they didn't just go with Android (landfill or not) in the first place.
Not that most people ever really want to update the OS on their telephone and, in a perfect world, they shouldn't really need to. But as this article points out Windows Phone is deficient in a number of areas.
Microsoft loosens strings on Office 365, drops kimono on upgrade options
Re: NO THANKS
Admittedly, I've not looked at Office 365 but it seems to me extremely ambitious to try and shift such a key component of many people's business software onto NSA sponsored servers. I can imagine companies might buy into their own hosted versions (give them more control and cut out file-servers) except that they won't trust MS to deliver anything usable in the browser if they've had previous experience of something like Sharepoint.
But at the moment I don't think the technology is really there for large scale browser apps that can also save to local file systems.

Microsoft cuts Surface Pro price by $100
Definitely not like Apple
This might be part of a cunning strategy to differentiate themselves from Apple.
When Apple has had unsuccessful product launches in the past it has just unceremoniously and silently buried them: the last Apple cube. They never discount and that's even without OEMs who might be pissed off by the competition.
By contrast, over the last couple of months Microsoft has managed to tarnish the Surface brand by keeping the RTs in the headlines. Yes, many of us think that they are still overpriced, but that's also because we think they're crippled. The impact on the "Surface" brand is worth a lot more than the write-off of the inventory not least because it can't be handled tax efficiently.
During this time OEMs who were either burned by the RT fiasco or, wisely, decided to sit it out have been launching interesting an competitive Windows 8 devices* at prices with reasonable margins. The market is still confused by Surface RT and Surface Pro and Microsoft comes along and after sticking the fire sale label on RT proceeds to do the same with Pro. This is immediately going to put downward pressure on prices and margins of other devices. Way to go, Microsoft!

So, who here LURVES Windows Phone? Put your hands up, Brits
Good sales in UK and France?
Looks like Orange has been doing a good job then (can't be O2 or Vodafone as the Lumias are virtually invisible here in Germany). Probably still not sufficient volume for Nokia to be really happy but it's a start. Of course, if the majority really are the low margin phones then Nokia is not going to be able to survive, though the ODM actually making the phones might.
Microsoft Surface sales numbers revealed as SHOCKINGLY HIDEOUS
Re: Too bad
I'm not sure that's true. Given the money Microsoft was throwing at the project adding some kind of x86 translation hardware à la Transmeta would have been doable. There would, of course, be a big performance hit but real performance isn't that much of an issue for most notebook applications. I used to run Photoshop for PowerPC via Rosetta on my MacBook which wasn't that much more powerful than the PowerPC equivalent. It was slow to start and to do certain effects but the GUI remained responsive and I think that's key for many people.
So, if Microsoft had released something with some form of x86 compatibility, albeit with provisos, and waved the prospect of future native apps or more powerful devices, the story might have been a bit different. I think, however, that one aspect that is not being looked at closely enough is that RT was dead on arrival. Microsoft obviously has significant problems supporting different architectures with their current codebase and an upgrade of the OS was probably not on the cards. Windows Phone owners be warned.
Intel's homage to Raspberry Pi: The much pricier Minnowboard
Who is this for?
For hobbyists and embedded systems people?
Hobbyists don't need either the power nor the IO of this board and will not pay USD 200 just to have something to tinker with. But not I'm not even sure that the embedded developers would find it an attractive proposition: that heat sink and the rods indicate that it needs quite a bit of clearance and cooling. In fact the whole thing is the size of a Mac Mini which was impressive when it came out, what seven years ago, but has since been successfully copied and improved upon.
That said, I think the real point of this product may be in open sourcing all the hardware design. It can't have been easy to get past some managers and does probably open the doors for similar but less powerful boards costing significantly.
Intel wants to reconstruct whole data centers with its chips and pipes
Becoming IBM?
All in all this sounds similar to the noises that Microsoft is making: the only way to survive is to become IBM and offering turnkey solutions with some engineering wizardry.
Some of this stuff sounds very nice but the software for it is not going to be easy and I am not convinced that the benefits will outweigh the investments. Current clouds benefit significantly from the low-coupling provided by redundant but cheap hardware. Efficiencies will be gained by having smaller (ie ARM) units. Low coupling also means more independence. Can't help but think that anyone who buys these systems is going to be entirely beholden to Intel.

Do you really want tech companies to pay more tax?
Re: Dividends?
Apple and Microsoft because they pay reasonable dividends…
Apple only just started paying dividends this year. Hoping that share prices will continue to rise until your retirement age has not been justified by returns the last ten years and current bond yields seem to suggest that it isn't going to happen again soon. We're in a sustained period of low returns.
The article should concentrate on what companies do with the cash piles they generate through tax avoidance. The evidence is that they make poor investments with it: Microsoft buys Skype, aQuantive and produces lots of devices no one wants; Apple buys its own shares using another tax avoidance scheme.
REVEALED: Hungry termites nibbling at Oracle's foundation
Oh dear
This is a poor piece.
unstructured data Unstructured data is noise. What you probably mean is data with no pre-defined schema.
"NoSQL" leader 10Gen, which stewards the development of MongoDB, said it has moved "over 100 companies off RDBMS technologies in the past six months" according to its business development veep (and former Reg scribe) Matt Asay. Oracle's revenue share of the worldwide RDBMS market was 48.3 percent in 2012, according to the soothsayers at Gartner, so we can safely assume a significant proportion of these 100 migrations came at the expense of legacy Oracle systems.
This is a very flawed conclusion. Moving companies from relational does not in any way imply that they are being moved from Oracle. And, giving the known problems with scaling MongoDB who's to say whether some of these companies won't be knocking on Oracle's (or IBM's or Microsoft's) door in the future.
Oracle's strategy obviously isn't to everyone's taste but it's pretty clear: improve the low end MySQL and offer increasingly expensive options to customers who think they need it and ignore the rest. It's great that this provides opportunities for third parties to pick up custom from those who can't or won't pay Oracle's fees.
The times for really big migrations can be pretty big: I think Enterprise DB talks of six months plus as not uncommon. Obviously, any company faced with that kind of investment is going to think long and hard about it and this is what Oracle is banking upon.
or have developed capabilities that while irrelevant to much of the database market
I'm not sure what those would be. Data integrity, performance and reliability should be on everyone's shopping list.
I'm sure Oracle doesn't really give a shit about the low-level stuff going from MyASM to one of the key-value or document storage engines.
At the end of the day, while licences are important, any company that is storing business critical data needs to spend enough money employing DBAs who know how to manage whichever systems they have. Outages, corruption and loss are what really cost.
PHWOAR! Huh! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, Prime Minister
Censorship is wrong
By all means stick advisory labels on things but leave it at that and use good old-fashioned police work to go after the makers of sick flicks.
Censorship imposes a considerable cost (the bureaucracy) and risk (the chance that it will become political censorship) with unclear benefits. I'm sure that official bullshit rhetoric like "the war on terror" cause more problems than anything people "stumble" across on the internet.
Apple earnings slip, but numbers beat Wall Street estimates
Upgrade cycle versus new carriers
The point regarding the upgrade cycle needs to be tempered by the greater reach into the market through new carriers: I-Phones were not available a year ago on all US networks, they are now.
All in all, however, the figures demonstrate the same trend as other manufacturers have: the market for smartphones is becoming saturated.
Tablets could be more interesting: the market clearly isn't saturated. A breakdown of the various models would cast some light on whether the lower margin I-Pad Minis helping to maintain market share albeit with lower margins. This might indicate how Apple may move in the future: if lower (but still very healthy) margin products are doing well then we can expect something similar for the phones.
Nokia flops out its 4G, 4.7-inch WHOPPER: The Lumia 625
Looks like another quarter of +30% smartphone growth for Nokia Lumias...
At current sales volumes that's never going to be enough. Anyway, this device is just as likely to cannibalise sales of other Nokias as it is to take sales away from similarly priced but higher-specc'd Android phones.
SkyDrive on par with C: Drive in Windows 8.1
Re: End game is to completely eliminate local storage of files on device altogether.
To be honest this is exactly what Apple, Amazon, Pandora, Spotify, Google et al. are doing. But they are all very carefully managing the user experience by providing what are essentially glorified backup services. Pandora and Spotify have been testing the water with non-essential data such as music files in a clear value proposition; Apple and Amazon offer to take the work out of synching between devices. The exception would be Google with e-mail and calendar and docs but then it is trying to build these out into an outsourcing offering. But this is all still toes in the water stuff. The regulatory hurdles will go up: what happens to my data if provider X goes bust or gets taken over?
How not to listen to customers #445
Out cycling on Sunday a friend of mine listed her woes with Windows 8 including the cloud stuff which she found very confusing. I think her notebook is due to go back to the shop with a request to install Windows 7 on it. Adding uncertainty to disorientation is not usually going to win many friends.
Online backup services can be a boon but they must be backup first, as I think Apple is doing things. What could possibly go wrong? Well, you could realise too late that you need a fat internet connection to access stuff you use on a regular basis. More urgently and potentially a killer for Microsoft, in Europe at least, is that the NSA shenanigans could very likely jeopardise the safe harbour agreement between the EU and the USA which allows the data of EU citizens to be stored in American data centres.
The justification for the whole thing that onboard storage can be reduced is also not really that appealing. Storage, even with the move to SSD, is not really the major price point for modern devices. For those with anyone nous they will ensure they have a backup service under their own control, possibly complemented with some online services from their ISP or similar and some freebies stuff à la Dropbox / Google Drive.
Microsoft's strategy here is remarkably similar to that of Bing, Maps and Skype: coming late to the party and spending heavily to try and buy success. This did work with things like hard-disk compression, simple LAN, internet browsers and possibly the X-Box. But since then Microsoft have started amassing white elephants and discouraging their partners.

Surface RT: A plan worthy of the South Park Underpants Gnomes
Re: So to summarise...
Full USB support
No wonder you keep posting anonymously as this is drivel!
What do you think full USB support is supposed to mean? Because it most certainly does not mean: will support any device that is plugged in. USB defines some mechanical and electronic stuff plus some baseline driver specs (eg. HCI for mice, keyboards, or an equivalent for mass storage) pretty much everything else requires drivers to be written and compiled for the particular OS and why you almost always have to install some software when you connect say a USB TV receiver.
We're very happy for you that you like your Microsoft gear but please stop pretending that you are: a) everyman and; b) know anything technical.
The implication is that MS did the minimum of hardware abstraction, compiled up the whole Windows, Office and driver stack using an ARM compiler, switched it on an surprise surprise it worked.
Really? C'mon we're not that naive. If that really was the case then they wouldn't have disabled macros and all the existing application developers would have given it a go. As Gavin points out in the article the trade press was selectively seeded in the run up to the launch.
You don't need a lot of grunt for an awful lot of applications including word processing. Software emulation on an ARM might be pushing it a bit but it would have been easy enough to license Transmeta's code to do it in hardware (and use less power in doing so). The reason they didn't do this was not to piss Intel off: it was Intel who really pulled the plug on Windows on ARM.
Re: Lack of Apps on RT not a serious issue - Flash works in browser
That covers a lot of the app requirement issues.
It obviously doesn't which is why nobody's buying them and why Microsoft is writing them off. There are an awful lot more apps in the world than MS Office and Flash games.
Every third party application developer thought "fuck you very much Microsoft - both I and am my customers have to do work in order to be able use this product."
Microsoft's people not only conceived the idea of building a tablet using a chipset – ARM - that the huge majority of existing Windows software could not work on
The hardware wasn't the problem, the artificial restriction on using existing apps was. Some kind of support for x86 binaries would have made the whole thing a very different value proposition by protecting users' investment in software and also providing a clear upgrade path to Surface Pro: existing apps low power apps would work on RT but if you need more power then you could continue using the same apps on a Pro or a notebook. By castrating the software Microsoft also made interesting hardware innovations like the keyboards irrelevant. The strategy was also a double punch to OEMs: not only was Microsoft competing with them directly, it also prevented them from adding value and differentiation with possibly hardware accelerated support for x86.
Because Microsoft persisted in using the name Windows for this it created a different expectation than Apple did with its separation of IOS and Mac OS - even if technically there are little differences between many IOS apps and their Mac OS pendants.
So the market looked like this:
Entry level: cheap Androids which run the many of the same apps that people have on their phones, limited performance but for less than € 250 the risk is low and they're great media players. Very well suited to use in the home.
Medium: I-Pad Mini, branded Android. Access to established eco-systems, excellent battery life making them suitable to be taken everywhere. Great second devices.
Premium: I-Pad, Samsung Note 10 - dedicated devices with clear USPs and eco-systems and usable for real work.
It's really difficult to see where the RT fits in there: it doesn't protect any existing investment, offers no upgrade path and is too expensive for occasional use.
PEAK APPLE: 'iPhone sales STALL' at first sniff of fresh droid competition
If I sold 150 Mio. gadgets…
with Apple's margins I'd be well made up.
Okay, this is the tech industry so growth rates not in three figures are considered disappointing. I think iSuppli has been reasonably reliable in the past though I think market saturation is probably more of a pressure than the competition. Once the novelty has worn off of having a good smartphone so does the desire to get another. Android devices like the SII and later Nexus' are more than enough for most people.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Problems - Possibly Hardware Related?
Wednesday 07th of December 2011
I've had my Galaxy S2 SGH-I777 (AT&T) for about 2 months now and everything has been great up until yesterday. I started experiencing some freezing and strange behavior. The phone is unrooted and using the stock ROM.The problems include but are not limited to:Random freezing when the phone is locked (by pressing the power button). Always have to do a hard reset.Random notifications about MTP initialization when no USB cable has been plugged into the phone.Vlingo Voice command (come preloaded on the phone) randomly popping up/starting without anything being pressed.Sometimes when I power off the phone it doesn't actually turn off completely but just restarts.Plugging in the USB cable while the phone is off turns it on (I don't think this is default behavior).And just recently I've had some strange touchscreen issues. Random letters being typed that I haven't touched etc. These issues are not constant but occur intermittently. I've already performed a factory reset, but the problems persist. Since I have yet to read about anyone else having similar problems with their phones, this

Samsung Galaxy SII Problems/Questions
Tuesday 06th of November 2012
Hi guys, my name's Nick. I've had the Galaxy SII since last December. It never really gave me a problem, until I about 3-4 weeks ago. The current problems are as follows:Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.The screen randomly flickers and then shuts down, and drops battery to a critical level.It freezes after each action.So here's what I think caused the problem, I downloaded some emulator apps from the market and ran some ROMs on the phone. The errors annoyed me, so I uninstalled the apps, they still persisted. I did a factory reset about 2 weeks ago thinking that would remove any problem and make the phone like new... I was wrong. The battery charge percent still randomly dropped to nothing. I decided to do the Android update to my phone to like 4.0.4 or something like that thinking "Hey, it'll overwrite everything and make it all good." I was wrong again. Now it cause the phone to freeze after every action I do, and following the freezing, the google gapps errors occurs and closes whatever I'm doing.That about sums it up. If anyone knows how t

Samsung Galaxy Centra problems
Saturday 22nd of June 2013
Bought my phone a couple weeks ago but the last few days I've been having problems with it randomly rebooting out of the blue, and it not keeping the correct time. Not sure what to do about the first issue, but the time issues i've already tried both the automatic time setting and manually setting, but the problem remains. Also tried asking for help on the samsung facebook help page but their suggestion of just clearing the clock cache didn't seem to do anything. Any suggestions?

Samsung Galaxy Centra problems
Thursday 29th of August 2013
I've only had the phone a few months but am starting to have a few issues:* Notification screen, I slide down and screen is black. I usually have to hit the lock button on and off for the notifications to show up (this just started in the last few days).* Phone internal GPS or whatever it is keeps putting my location to cities I'm not in (cities almost 200 miles away). Same ones all the time but obviously not where I'm located. This will happen when I try to use a weather app or even on Facebook. Not a huge issue obviously but weird. Anybody have any ideas - especially on the notification screen issue? Thanks!

Samsung Galaxy S4 Problems
Saturday 19th of April 2014
I picked up my Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337) from an AT&T store about two months ago. I got a case for it, car charger, gorilla glass, etc. As previously having been an Apple iPhone user wanting a change, I initially took a great liking to the phone and it's technological features. However, it's been two months in and the cracks are starting to show... big time.My first issue is the audio quality. Even with the volume cranked at the max, the audio output through my headphones (or any output) just sounds muffled, flat and soft, especially compared to the output on my iphone 4s. I've tried playing with the EQs with apps and different sets of headphones - the same problem persisting. I did a little research and found that the audio chip in the Galaxy S4 isn't great and that's why the sound is inferior to my iPhone. Okay, no problem, maybe I could live with that.Then about 2-3 weeks ago I updated to Android 4.4.2. I thought that this would be a good thing; 'why wouldn't you update your phone's firmware, making it perform even better?' - was my assumption. Turns out this was an awful i

Colorful Pairings That Stand The Test Of Time
October 1, 2014 § 1 Comment
October 1, 2014
If you were looking at the Huffington Post last week, you may have read an article called "Fashion And Ballet Go So Well Together, And We Have The Sketches To Prove It".
You may have been caught up in the wonder and glamour of the costumes and the sketches, just as I was. It all got me thinking about another time when ballet and fashion met. I wrote about it in the book Pantone The 20th Century in Color in the chapter called Theatrics.
Theatrics is all about the symbiotic relationship between Leon Bakst and The Ballet Russes Scheherazade. This was a complementary combination that sparked color and fashion trends.
Below is an excerpt from the chapter.
"Russian-born Bakst brought a fascination with folk art and Eastern sensibilities into his work. His patterns simplified Turkish, Persian, and Central Asian textiles into bold, modern geometry. Suzani embroideries were simplified into cotton prints of concentric circles. References to complicated ikat patterns were delivered in crisp applique or beading. Diaphanous, patterned scarves swirled suggestively around women's costumes constructed with simple bras and hip bands rather than a stiff corset. Occasionally, as in star dancer Vaslav Nijinsky's performance in Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune, sexualized choreography combined with Bakst's designs challenged social mores of the day.
But his admirers were undaunted. His work elicited a fashion craze, which opened the way for brightly collared clothing with Orientalist touches like plunging V-necks, turbans, and tribal jewelry. His set designs were no less influential, and for many years to come, divans and floor cushions were used to evoke a bit of Scheherazade's enchantment."
It's always fun to look at where trends are now and where they are headed but it can be just as fun looking back and following them along their colorful way.

From The Comics To The Comic-con And Beyond
April 10, 2014 § Leave a comment
April 10, 2014
March 30th was the final day of the Emerald City Comicon. Comic books and pop culture were center stage for three full days. This event may not be for everyone but this show sells out year after year for all three days. The lure of actors, animation, art, gaming and color is something that spans many generations.
When it comes to studying trends there are at times clear and obvious areas to look to find trends. It is not always the obvious where a trend direction is found. The entertainment industry is a big contributor to driving trends. Movies are full of inspiration ranging from fashion, décor (set design) and even color trends. Sometimes the characters/actors themselves can be the object of desire. Ultimately, when all the components come together it makes movie magic. It is in all of those components where the inspiration, trend and the fan are found.
Mainstream acceptance of what was once considered "nerd culture" is bringing this vibrant palette into the limelight. For example, shows like the Big Bang Theory and The Walking Dead are great directional indicators for trends. The reach of comics goes beyond the obvious to aspirational, with shows like Project Runway's, Under The Gunn with Tim Gunn, where designers are tasked with a Marvel challenge. The reach of this genre is vast.
Fashionweekdaily.com reports that "This July, a fashion show will be coming to San Diego's Comic-Con for the first time. Officially called "The Her Universe Fashion Show" all submissions entered for consideration must be "Geek Couture" fashion, not a costume, and can be based on anything that is celebrated at Comic-Con." One look at the Her Universe site and it is plain to see that this isn't a concept, style, ideal or trend that will be disappearing any time soon.
Have you embraced you inner "geek" or "nerd" and joined in on the fun?
A Color Forecast To Inspire!
September 10, 2013 § Leave a comment
September 10, 2013
As many of you may already know, I wear many hats as a color expert. I am the Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, owner/director of the Eiseman Center for Color Information and Training and I am the author of eight books on color (soon to be nine, stay tuned).
As part of my work with Pantone I spearhead their Pantone View Home + Interior color forecast. In addition, twice a year, I am part of a team that creates the Pantone View Colour Planner, which is a color forecast that spans many fields, such as fashion, textile and industrial design. Both forecasts are a result of trends that are developing on all fronts from media, socio-economics, entertainment, the impact of the environment, travel influences and any other worthy subject or direction for all creative design fields. I then compile this information into imagery with color as the guide. I let color tell the story of the times.
These forecasts are coveted among designers and industry professionals as they plan each season's new creations. They are filled with color palettes designed with a "mood", a rationale and an inspirational direction. Whether used out of context or within the theme we set in the palettes, they are great tools and hold key design principles with texture and balance.
Forecasts are such an integral part of the color consulting world and intrinsic to the knowledge of color in the future. That is why this subject is included in the Color/Design programs that I teach twice yearly.
For more information on the forecast visit Pantone.com and don't forget to subscribe to the new Pantoneview.com
Could a forecast help you in your work with color? Does this sound like an interesting part of the color world and were you familiar with forecasts? Please take a moment to share.

Lorraine DePasque is a Style/Trends editor for instoremag.com. She has interviewed me many times before and we are often on the same "wavelength" when it comes to spotting trends. This was especially evident when it came to Emerald. I often tell people at my presentations to look to high end jewelry for future influence.
You can say that Lorraine had her (Emerald clad?) finger on the pulse of this one considering that she posted this blog back in April. Click the link below to read Lorraine's rationale of Emerald in terms of jewelry.
Meet Me In California?

According to Wikipedia "January is on average, the coldest month of the year within most of the Northern Hemisphere (where it is the second month of winter) and the warmest month of the year within most of the Southern Hemisphere (where it is the second month of summer). In the Southern hemisphere, January is the seasonal equivalent of July in the Northern hemisphere."
As a resident of the Northern Hemisphere, I like to take respite from the cold (and rain) and head south for four days to hold my semi-annual Color/Design master class. Next year's class is going to be held January 24-27th in Burbank, California. California is the perfect sunny locale for a mid-winter getaway.
This hands-on class will give you the tools and education to take your career in color to the next level. The class will include the psychology and emotion of color, consumer color preferences, the formation of trends (where do they come from and where are they going), a workshop and time for in-depth Q&A.
Come and join me in sunny California to explore the wonderful world of color. Don't forget your sunscreen!
The Comics To Cartoon Clothing

Cartoons come to life in this effervescent palette, The Comics. Funny paper hues pop off the page in whimsical ways that bring a smile and create the need to take some time to play. Ominous Phantom Black provides the backdrop for sulphuric yellow and fiery red. A flash of green provokes a strong blue while an inky cyan plays up to honeysuckle and primrose. It's quirky joy and spontaneity.
"Forever 21 will roll out a small assortment of'Simpsons' T-shirts for men and women, while Fox's long-term global partner H&M is currently selling new 'Simpsons'-themed boys' wear. The Swedish retailer will also make 'Ice Age' Ts to coincide with the summer sequel 'Ice Age: Continental Drift,' as will midtier retailer C&A."
It is always fun to watch a forecast become part of the mainstream in home and now in fashion. Jeremy Scott is the perfect match for this whimsical palette.

Orange Blossoms And False Eyelashes

February 23, 2012
I found this article and thought that with all of the great buzz surrounding Tangerine Tango that it would be fun to look back at when it all started. I excerpted a paragraph from the article for your viewing pleasure and included a link to the full article at the bottom.
"Sephora is about to bring out a limited-edition spring cosmetics line with orange eye makeup—including orange false eyelashes made from feathers. The renaissance of orange extends to many facets of design: The Canyons Resort in Park City, Utah, recently installed a luxury ski lift called the Bubble Express—with heated chairs in eye-popping orange.
This renaissance for orange has been a long time coming. The color was popular in the 1920s, and again in the 1960s, with a lesser renaissance in the '80s."
Are you hearing the buzz about the Pantone x Sephora collaboration? Will you be rushing out to pick up some of these limited-edition goodies?
The Challenge Of The Light Bulb
October 18, 2011 § 6 Comments
Koeppel observes: "Evolutionary biologists believe that human lighting preferences are the result of our trichromatic vision—rare in non-primates—which makes us particularly suited to daylight and perception of primary colors. There's an anthropological component as well; for 4,000 years, humankind has been banishing darkness with fire. And Edison's bulb, at its core, is a burning filament that casts a glow of flame. Abandoning incandescent bulbs means abandoning fire as our primary light source for the first time in human history."
I never thought about it that way, but it certainly makes sense and answers the resistance that is being shown to accepting the newer look in light bulbs. Actually, from a design standpoint, some of the squiggly shapes of the newer energy saving bulbs are really quite interesting. The challenge is balancing a lampshade on some of them. However, there are some manufacturers that are using the odd shapes as a design component.
A chart explains the meaning of color temperature very simply. It states: "Expressed in degrees Kelvin, this is how we measure things like soft white or daylight. A pleasant soft white will have a color temperature of 3000K. White light ranges from 4100K to 6000K, roughly equal to noonday sun. Higher numbers get increasingly bluer".

White eyeliner trick
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Pale Eyeliner
You know how makeup artists are always saying things like, "A bit of white eyeliner along the rims of your eyelids will perk up tired eyes"? Well, I could never get this trick to work; the white always looked too obvious, so I wound up using my pencils to whiten my nails.
But now I've figured it all out. As it turns out, yes, white eyeliner looks too artificial, but if the eyeliner has just a hint of beigey pink, the trick works wonders. Today, I used Being True dual eyeliner ($18) in Express/Reflect. One side of the pencil is a warm brown shade; the other is a pearly champagne color. I used the brown shade on my upper lash line to define the eye, then used the lighter shade along my lower waterline (the lower lid right above the lower lashes). Magic! The brown gives the illusion of thicker lashes, while the lighter color brings out the whites of my eyes in a natural-looking way. Now I know what these makeup artists have been talking about all this time, as though I've joined a secret cabal of eye-tricking geniuses. To see how it looks, read more.

Four Points by Sheraton Gurgaon, Faridabad Road
Area locale
Nicknamed the "Mall Capital of India" because of its dozens of shopping malls, Gurgaon is situated just south of Delhi in the Indian state of Haryana. It is also the state's industrial and financial centre. Our hotel is conveniently located near the area's key commercial hubs on Gurgaon's main road, which links directly to Delhi. Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) is only a 35-minute drive away.
Visit nearby Nuh and see its historical monuments, including India's only shaking minarets, and Chui Mal's water tank, an ancient and unique rectangular red-stone structure with impressive carvings. Sohna Lake is also a popular attraction. Tucked away in the Aravalli Hills, it is considered to be one of India's most beautiful lakes; a famous hot sulphur spring is located there, too. Another picturesque and scenic area can be found at Damdama Lake. Rent a rowboat or paddleboat and cruise around, or get your adrenaline flowing by scaling one the numerous climbing walls. Bird enthusiasts should not miss seeing the Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary, which houses more than 100 species including pelicans, kingfishers, demoiselle cranes, and sandpipers.
For a bit of serenity, explore the Sheetala Devi Temple, a major Hindu pilgrimage site. Or take an excursion to see some of Delhi's top sites, such as Red Fort, the city's most famous landmark and a symbol of the Mughal emperors; Qutab Minar, the world's tallest brick minaret that soars 72.5 metres high; and Connaught Place, one of Delhi's most vibrant business districts.

I am descended from a Joseph Ingels who was in Ohio in the early 1800s. He later went to IN and finally, ended up in Iowa. I am interested in his father, who I think, was George Ingels. I would like to know the wife of George and I would like to know who his parents were. Some information says that the wife of George was a Mary Ramy, but I have never been able to confirm it and no one seems to know the basis of the connection.

This past week, we've had a flurry of lovely new goodies arriving on our doorstep here at ink & peat! We always look forward to transitions between holidays and seasons, especially when the shop starts filling up with warm blush colors and notes of citrus in the air. With all the moving and shaking going on, we have a new-found appreciation for ways to kick up our feet after a long day at work! Window seats offer a nook-style space great for decorating with bright accents and soft pillows. We love the thought of cozying up in one ourselves - with a good book and a spot (or a lot!) of sunshine of course! It has been a sunny winter in Portland this year after all! Check out our picks!

We made a beautiful discovery this week when we came across a collection of natural wood pottery by Silvia Song. With a background rich in design and architecture, Song pulls the best from both worlds to create functional pieces that gleam with natural details and elegant symmetry. She also has a knack for choosing amazing wood to work with, including blocks of maple and air dried claro walnut! With a deft hand, Song carves, shapes, and polishes the wood to absolute perfection - or imperfection! Our favorite piece is the walnut bowl with that exquisite, natural edge. Take a look!

Do you ever miss those early years at school when you couldn't wait to open your lunchbox and eat all the goodies within? I do! While lunchboxes remain one of the most useful containers on the planet (and kid friendly of course!) the majority of us graduate to using our various stock of reusable bags to transport food and other on-the-go items. Luckily, lunchboxes have been revived and beautified by artist, Lulie Wallace out of Charleston, SC. With brightly printed floral designs inspired by her original paintings, I would proudly carry any one of these fancy (and double-sided!) lunchboxes around town ... so useful and pretty! Check out all the flowery eye candy!

We are so very smitten with these delightfully small ceramics made by English-born artist, Kaye Blegvad! While we could spend all day figuring out new ways to put a high-fired dish to good use, Blegvad's quirky and unique style is a nice reminder that ceramic aesthetics aren't confined to vessels for flowers, coffee, and dinnerware. Sometimes, we just need to see a darling, extra-long ceramic dachshund parked on our windowsill! We love Blegvad's minimalist approach and how pretty it all looks fired and glossed into figurines that would be a joy to collect. I'd love to start mine with the artist's spiffed up, old-fashioned brush and comb set! Enjoy our picks!

This week, we discovered new and beautiful ways to enjoy a simple bag of tea! With an ever-growing focus on DIY craft-arts and mixed media creations from found and/or used objects, it's not surprising that artists and crafters have transformed the humble tea bag into colorful and striking studies of organic shapes and perfect symmetry. We love the idea of artists working with tea bags as a medium to produce beautiful abstracts that boost this ancient beverage onto a very grand scale. Check out the amazing photos!

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Posted: 07/13/2013 10:51 PM | Comments: 0
Last Modified: 07/14/2013 12:42 AM | Updates
BIRDS HILL PARK — On Saturday night's mainstage, Luke Doucet thanked the Winnipeg Folk Festival for having a broad definition of folk music. It was kind of a throw-away moment — he was politely thanking the festival for including him — but he nicely summed up the festival's evolution over the past 40 years.
If folk music is music by the people for the people, then it can take on many forms — a point underscored by Saturday's incredibly diverse lineup on the mainstage and off. Purist folk to avant-garde electro, legends and newcomers, we saw it all.
Let's start with the legends. Before New Orleans funk collective Galactic took the stage for its headlining slot at press time, another N'awlins band, Dr. John & The Nite Trippers, laid down a slab of full-title boogie woogie. Clad in a red pinstripe suit and trademark fedora, six-time Grammy winner Dr. John — aka Malcolm John "Mac" Rebennack, Jr. — ran down the hits, including his biggest, Right Place, Wrong Time, to an adoring crowd. He sure knows how to tickle the ivories.
Martin Sexton was another big mainstage draw on Saturday night. Armed with just his guitar — the self-taught musician did get his start as a busker on Boston street-corners, after all — Sexton wowed with his heart-on-sleeve brand of blue-eyed soul. In addition to being a killer guitar player, he's got a powerhouse set of pipes. His vocal acrobatics were effortless and his grooves were easygoing.
It was a completely different vibe over at Big Bluestem, where Halifax experimentalist Rich Aucoin was throwing an explosive dance party — complete with confetti cannons —with his sample-heavy, live-band electropop. Impossibly energetic, Aucoin was the consummate party host, leading the audience in singalongs to his fists-in-the-air anthems. He even got the crowd to converge under a giant parachute. Yes, like the one from gym class.
Earlier at the mainstage, Whitehorse, the husband-and-wife duo of Doucet and Melissa McClelland, managed to turn up the heat on an already-blistering evening. Their Americana-flavoured folk rock is slinky and sexy — and it's also incredibly intricate. The duo crafts their soundscapes from layers of percussion, keyboard and even telephone receiver amplification run through a maze of looping pedals, all bolstered by guitar-slinger Doucet's lightning fret work and his intoxicating vocal interplay with McClelland. From the roadhouse romp No Glamour in the Hammer to the propulsive Radiator Blues, these two were on fire.
The mainstage show started with a bang courtesy of Habadekuk, a boisterous Danish folk ensemble whose lively jigs got the dinner crowd on its feet.
Saturday was a scorcher, the sun high in a cloudless blue sky with the temperature kissing 30 C. Patches of shade became precious real estate. So far, paid folk fest attendance has been an average of 10,711 a day, based on unofficial totals from Wednesday through Friday. The packed beer garden provided a much-needed oasis.
Saturday and Sunday are traditionally the festival's busiest days, putting the grounds' new configuration to the real test. The addition of the Festival Village and a permanent home for food vendors has proved positive in terms of traffic flow; festival-goers no longer have to navigate their way through mammoth food lines at supper time to get to the mainstage.
Highlights from the daytime stages included 1974, the much-anticipated, very well-attended workshop featuring a host of folk luminaries who played the first festival, including Sylvia Tyson (of Ian & Sylvia), Leon Redbone, Stringband, Ken Whiteley, Bob King and folk fest fixture Peter Paul Van Camp, who came out of retirement to host.
The Winnipeg poet was as hilarious and generous an MC as usual, leading a late afternoon set filled with reminisces and folk classics.
Cult icon Leon Redbone, a man many came to see, showed up late, which isn't exactly off-brand — "He's an elusive guy, so why would he be on this stage?" Van Camp quipped — but the wait was worth it. "I've spent four hours tuning my guitar," the cult icon said when he finally arrived. "Close enough!" Wearing his signature fedora, he delighted with his vaudevillian ragtime ditties despite the odd sound hiccup.
Tyson, who was one of the biggest names on the inaugural folk fest lineup, was a treat to see. Her performance of her 1975 hit Sleep on My Shoulder transported the audience back in time.
The workshop's biggest crowd-pleaser, however, was Stringband's hilarious (and lyrically explicit) feminist anthem Show Us The Length.
Modern folk greats had their moment in the sun, too. Toronto singer/songwriter and Broken Social Scenester Jason Collett put on an excellent afternoon concert, his languid, Dylanesque drawl perfectly hanging in the humidity. A pair of Winnipeggers helped him out on a few tracks; violinist Julie Penner added resplendent strings to the beautiful We All Lose One Another while her husband, Weakerthans drummer Jason Tait, added ethereal singing saw to the haunting Winnipeg Winds.
It's criminal that more people didn't catch an early afternoon concert by Cold Specks, a breakout band led by Al Spx, a woman with a great big gravelly rumble of a voice. The group's fusion of deep South gospel and fuzzed-out indie rock has made it a critical darling in the U.K., but it's Spx's voice that's worth hearing live. Her a capella rendition of the traditional Stepstone was chilling.

I found this 70's fabric with wood-anemones on a brown base, originally a narrow curtain. I loved it! First I intended to make a miniskirt out of it, but it was kind of too much for me (I'm a big fan of simplicity) and never happened. So finally I designed this tea-cosy where the patterned material is framed by a very dark-blue, lightweight denim. I figured that way the fabric would last as long as possible… (in all ways).
The inside is lined with a thick wool-flannel, probably intended for winter coats, and it works perfectly. The teapot remains warm for hours. Frequently used these days (I'm at home with the flu).

Charming and beautifully crafted. A delightful way to enjoy your vintage fabric for years. I'm sorry you have the flu, but am glad you're at least strong enough to do a little sewing! (I drink tea every day, and I'm crazy about the accessories. Even in my coffee-crazed world, and I love coffee too, I was somehow raised drinking hot tea even as a kid back in 1960's rural California. But I never had a proper tea-cosy until two months ago when a friend and her English beau brought me one from England. Now you've inspired me to make one myself:)

Tommy Lee Jones and Hilary Swank Talk THE HOMESMAN, the Shorthand They Developed on Set, Jones as a Director, Swank's Singing and More
by Sheila Roberts Posted 14 days ago
Tommy Lee Jones' latest directorial effort, The Homesman, is a moving portrait of the harsh unpredictability of pioneer life in the mid-19th century American West told from the viewpoint of a resilient, resourceful woman. The harrowing tale is based on Glendon Swarthout's award-winning novel about Mary Bee Cuddy (Hilary Swank), an intrepid frontierswoman who convinces a low-life drifter (Jones) to accompany her on an arduous journey transporting three ill women across the Nebraska Territories to Iowa. Opening November 14th, the film features an impressive supporting cast that includes John Lithgow, Hailee Steinfeld, James Spader and Meryl Streep.
At the film's recent press day, Jones and Swank spoke about playing characters with so many layers of emotions, how they captured the authenticity of an era, why the film is not just a period piece but also parallels everyday life for a lot of people, the qualities of strength, vulnerability and relatability that Mary Bee possessed which appealed to Swank, working with Jones as both an actor and a director and the shorthand they developed on set, how Jones' experience as an actor informs his work as a writer and director, Swanks' singing scenes, and shooting on location in New Mexico and Georgia. Check out our interview after the jump.

Found March 06, 2013 on Awful Announcing:
PLAYERS: Jenn Brown, Erin Andrews, Michelle Beadle
Once tabbed as the heir apparent to Erin Andrews, Jenn Brown has left ESPN as reported by Sports Illustrated. The reasons for her departure are still unclear, but ESPN confirmed Brown is no longer working for Bristol. Brown joined ESPN in February 2010, and when Andrews left the mothership last summer, it seemed like Brown would be taking over her role as ESPN's most visible sideline reporter. But then that gig went to Samantha Ponder, who took over Thursday night sideline reporting duties on ESPN as well as Andrews' old spot on the College Gameday set. Brown was paired with Dave Pasch and Bob Griese, generally calling the early game on ESPN. Brown's future is currently unknown. Will she be joining another network in either a sideline or studio role? Is she jumping ship on the sports world altogether? Her departure from the company seems like it has come out of nowhere, but it could have been in the works for a while. Brown seemed to slowly fade from the spotlight in recent months and with the nice jobs ESPNers have picked up elsewhere (Michelle Beadle at NBC, Erin Andrews at Fox, Rachel Nichols at CNN), perhaps the grass was greener elsewhere.
