Thanksgiving is a time to think about all that you are thankful for, but often we just find it to be the kind of holiday that encourages us to start our holiday shopping spree, eating too much food, and spending lots of time with the family- however great or annoying they may be. For the average American though, we all get these pangs of guilt about the kinds of things we could be doing if we just had a few minutes at our desks. Afterall, when Aunt Jessie repeats the same cranberry recipe for the umpteenth time, it's really not going to help you in any way – especially because there's nothing that great about cranberries anyways.
IT managers are often stuck between a rock and a hard place, and so are their sales counterparts. Most of the time, upper management wants to create one location for all their corporate documentation like Box or Dropbox, and their corporate security relies on it. Salespeople on the other hand, are really focused on the sales end-goal and some corporate security practices are dropped in favor of sales efficiency. Within the confines of corporate security practices, salespeople are often forced to find a workaround around from their corporate security protocols; resulting in breaking the rules that they deem as less of a security issue. Here ensues a strong butting of heads, but the funny thing is, they don't realize that they're actually in the same boat.
We're all using different cloud services for different kinds of media: pictures, videos, documents, emails, notes, and more. Whatever you're storing in the cloud, they all have one thing in common: they're in the cloud.
We've identified 2 major problems with the cloud
It's easy to see how the cloud can become such a hassle. But don't worry, we've got you covered.
Most enterprises use a form of cloud storage for backups or consolidation of all their documents. The demand for cloud storage is clearly there, and so is supply. However, as the cloud storage market is maturing, cloud storage companies are facing an identity crisis: "pure" storage is becoming a commodity and providers need to distinguish themselves from one another. Most cloud storage companies are choosing to rename themselves from a cloud storage company to a "central cloud system" or something along those lines. Really, it feels a lot like arguing that a tomato is a fruit vs a vegetable. Who cares? A tomato is a tomato. So the million dollar question is: if a cloud storage company is doing a great job at storage, why are they so adamant about changing how you see them?
The pivot providers are highlighting, is they're not just a cloud storage company. Even though they aren't doing anything substantially differently from a few years ago, this new branding campaign has captured the marketing hearts of virtually all of these cloud storage providers. For naive technologists (read: geeks), it seems obvious that providing more features and "virtualizing" data seems like the right approach for cloud storage providers in order to grow their business. For example, when they offer cool user features like: providing different ways to edit files, enriching data transformation, enriching meta-data attached to files, providing different ways to search and manage data, etc. Sadly, instead of providing more of these kinds of features, most providers are too busy trying to expand their footprint by controlling your documents. By doing this, they often miss the mark by making it really hard for you to own your own data outside of their platform.
In fact, cloud storage companies who keep an open 3rd-party API system and express full support for 3rd-party integrators are the signs of a solid platform that understands how the cloud is beneficial for everyone- but these are rare companies. Senad Dizdar wrote that if APIs aren't available and 3rd-party eco-systems aren't open, you must ask yourself: Why? Is it because of data protection, or maybe because cloud storage providers want to keep all of your data for themselves. Most storage platforms crave your documents because data is valuable… especially when they get to keep your data dependent on their platform. Sooner or later, these platforms will fall. The rise of user empowerment to choose what kind of platform you want to work in will soon reign king if it hasn't already, and closed minded cloud storage companies will eventually become exactly what their mantras are: closed.
Take Box, for example. They are a great cloud storage service, but it's clear that they want to keep your data in their platform. So, what do they do? Simple. They start building integrations with other important apps but with an API key where your documents will locked in Box's cloud storage. Let's look at Box's integration with Salesforce, for example:
Google Drive had a humbling service disruption yesterday for the majority of its users, whereby virtually no one was able to access any of their important documents. The disruption included their popular services such as Google Docs, Drive, Slides, as well as Sheets. When users tried to access their documents, they saw a blank page with a "500 server" error on it.
It took Google nearly 6 hours to repair their popular cloud service. Here's a screenshot of what we saw when we tried to access our Google Apps status page:
This is their second service disruption this week – their last disruption was on 10/21/14 from 7:07 PM until midnight.
If your business depends on cloud services, these kind of service disruptions are costing you money. For example, if your Salesforce records have links to Google documents, and your sales meeting just started, you'll be missing out on critical information to make any kind of informed decision.
A well-designed landing page is the key driver for converting visitors into signups. According to a HubSpot study, companies that have between 31 – 40 landing pages garner 7 times more leads than those that have only 1 – 5 landing pages.
Photos, videos, rich graphics, and a simple call to action are all features of landing pages that'll get you noticed – and will help get you the conversions you're after. Clearly, you'll also need to optimize your page through A/B or multivariate testing, load time, SEO,and other elements in order to manage the details involved towards providing a smooth front-end user experience.
We've been testing different landing page tools, and we found a newbie that's boasting some major chops: Pagewiz. Its straightforward, easy-to-use building platform lets you design and launch a customized and optimized landing page in about an hour. It features a simple landing page design tool that offers a wealth of optimized page templates, built-in automated A/B testing, SEO tools and plugins, real-time statistics and analytics, lead exports, integrations and more.
If you're one of the millions of people that use Dropbox for backup of their important files, or maybe even as their only digital storage space, you may have heard about a bug that was recently discovered in the cloud storage service. If you haven't, you're not going to like what you hear.
Dropbox recently confirmed that a bug in its Selective Sync feature caused some users' data to be deleted.Some of you might have received a message from Dropbox like this:
We're reaching out to let you know about an issue affecting Selective Sync that caused some files to be deleted from Dropbox. This problem occurred when the Dropbox desktop application shut down or restarted while users were applying Selective Sync settings.
Based on our investigation of this issue, we think you may be among the small number of users who were affected.
If you haven't used Selective Sync before, you can stop reading now because you weren't affected.
If you have used Selective Sync, we wanted to check whether your Dropbox may have been affected. We've set up a personalized web page where you can see if there are files that shouldn't have been deleted and try to restore them.
As far as CRM goes, Salesforce is undoubtedly the top dog. For any sales process, its features are rich, and it adequately understands the sales flow from different sales process touch points: before, during, and after. In fact, it's become a CRM success in large part due to the development of apps on their AppExchange Marketplace; which is very reminiscent of the way that Apple built out their App Store empire. Knowing how mission critical it is to handhold a client (or their user experience) through your sales process, most companies who value their clients will likely be using Salesforce's CRM. Their targeted clients are primarily mid to large businesses, and their users comprise of: (1) salespeople, (2) customer service representatives, or (3) upper management personnel so that they can track the sales success of their teams or regions.
You probably already know that Evernote is a great way to take notes, collect digital materials for projects, make to-do lists, set reminders, and generally organize your work in one place across all your devices. What you may not realize is that you can also integrate your cloud seamlessly with Evernote; which means that you can access all your important documents, even on the go.
Staying organized can be a difficult task, especially for real estate agents on-the-go: showings, appointments, document management, collaboration—does it ever slow down? There are not many great choices when it comes to organizational apps or programs. Many of the currently available apps and programs are not compatible with other platforms or devices. But there is one handy tool that stands out from the rest, and that is Evernote. While Evernote may sound like just another typical note-taking app, it is actually much, much more than that; and in the real estate business, it can quickly become a real estate agent's right-hand assistant.
Evernote allows agents to quickly jot down notes from meetings, phone calls, etc. If driving, you can simply use the dictation feature and talk to Evernote. An audio file will be saved and you can transcribe it later.
You can take photos using the camera on your mobile device directly from Evernote. The photos will be saved in Evernote and can be tagged for simple searching at a later time.
Documents can be created, edited, shared and stored using Evernote. To-do lists can be created and managed to ensure you don't miss any important appointments or tasks. To put it simply—Evernote is like a complete, virtual office that follows you everywhere you go.
People love Dropbox because it's so convenient and easy to use. But those who use it for business are faced with two challenges: how to make sure their confidential data is protected from unauthorized or malicious access, and how to protect that data against malicious or accidental deletion.
There's an easy way to do both, when you combine Dropbox with Credeon and cloudHQ.
You probably already know that Dropbox is an extremely effective and popular cloud storage service that many businesses use for seamless sharing, storage, and backup of important data in the cloud. It makes collaboration simple and convenient.

Hi: 7° Lo:5°

BROMSGROVE Samba band Someone at the Door will perform at one of Birmingham's busiest bars tonight (Thursday) to add to some Brazillian sounds ahead of the World Cup opener between the hosts and Croatia.
And speaking before playing at Walkabout in Broad Street, Adam Joyce, the chairman of the popular group, told The Standard because of the tournament was being held in Brazil, they had received an unprecedented number of requests from bosses at venues wanting them to come and play there.
He said: "We have had to turn down at least 20 performances because we simply do not have enough people to keep up with the demand.
"We could be playing three or four times-a-day throughout the World Cup if we had the resources.
"It's a shame we have to disappoint so many people but there's only so much we can do," he added.
During the next four weeks Someone at the Door, which has 31 members, already has a variety of different events to play at, including three town carnivals.
They will also be performing again at Walkabout on Thursday (June 19) before England's second group game with Uruguay and another highlight will be at the Club Legends Cup at Birmingham's LG Arena on July 12 - the day of the final.
That event will feature stars who have previously played for Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion, Birmingham City, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Coventry City and Walsall, along with a Rest of the World team and a squad from the celebrity and media world.
The charity fund-raiser for Cure Leukaemia will have a capacity crowd of 3,000 people and there was one thing which could make the day even better.
"If we could play Samba at that massive venue with England in the final, that would be a dream," he added.

Notes on Creativity →
I highly recommend checking out a great essay on creativity by Isaac Asimov. Here are some excerpts that ring true:
My feeling is that as far as creativity is concerned, isolation is required. The creative person is, in any case, continually working at it. His mind is shuffling his information at all times, even when he is not conscious of it. (The famous example of Kekule working out the structure of benzene in his sleep is well-known.)
The presence of others can only inhibit this process, since creation is embarrassing. For every new good idea you have, there are a hundred, ten thousand foolish ones, which you naturally do not care to display.
Probably more inhibiting than anything else is a feeling of responsibility. The great ideas of the ages have come from people who weren't paid to have great ideas, but were paid to be teachers or patent clerks or petty officials, or were not paid at all. The great ideas came as side issues.
Cycling '74 CEO on Max 7
One of the biggest challenges in designing software is dealing with what is known as the first user experience. We've been looking at this problem for the last four or five years, and I have to say, observing someone else try to use what you've designed is a devastating experience. Everything you assumed to be true is exposed as wrong. You can retreat into your shell and declare your work is art and simply misunderstood, or you can try to figure out why your assumptions are wrong. It is an endless process, with well-meaning attempts to be "more user-friendly" usually falling flat for reasons that suddenly seem obvious and make you feel like an idiot. And that's putting it mildly.
This is very true. Read the whole post to find out the effort the C74 team put in to make Max fun to use.
'Taylor Swift is intentionally adding inefficiency back into the market'
When record stores were a thing, there were exactly sixty musicians who figured out how to work within the system to become wildly successful (in that case, selling 100 million copies each).
Specifically, they took advantage of inefficiencies in the market.
How many of those millions of people only wanted one track but had to buy the entire album? iTunes fixed that by decoupling the tracks from albums.
How many of those millions put the album on a shelf and never listened to it? Spotify fixed that—artists only get paid for plays.
By removing herself from streaming services, Taylor Swift is intentionally adding inefficiency back into the market. Like Comcast, her product is popular enough that people will put up with it. And while I believe an artist gets to choose what happens to her art, I still think it's a dick move to her fans.
Twitter Audio Card
With a single tap, the Twitter Audio Card lets you discover and listen to audio directly in your timeline on both iOS and Android devices. Throughout your listening experience, you can dock the Audio Card and keep listening as you continue to browse inside the Twitter app. We're launching this new audio card in partnership with third-party streaming services. The first partner for streaming on Twitter is SoundCloud.
Twitter's dedicated music app didn't take off, but this sounds like a cool idea. Tried it and it works very well. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work if the Twitter app is in a background mode. Hopefully, that will change in the future versions.
'Eventually, you'll figure it all out' →
Jason Fried:
During the development of most any product, there are always times when things aren't quite right. Times when you feel like you may be going backwards a bit. Times where it's almost there, but you can't yet figure out why it isn't. Times when you hate the thing today that you loved yesterday. Times when what you had in your head isn't quite what you're seeing in front of you. Yet. That's when you need to have faith.

'I don't work for free' →
When Showtime invited Dan Cassaro to join a design "contest" he felt amounted to milking professionals for free work, he let the network—and the world—know how he felt about it. The offer, made to a number of designers, involved promoting the Floyd Mayweather-Marcos Maidana boxing match on Sept. 13. Those who submitted designs for Showtime's use "could be eligible for a chance to win a trip to Las Vegas and have your artwork displayed in the MGM Grand during fight week!," the network told Cassaro in an email. After sending an email response slathered in sarcasm ("I know that boxing matches in Las Vegas are extremely low-budget affairs"), Cassaro then posted the exchange to Twitter.
This is so great. It reminds me of remix competitions run by electronic dance music labels, which became very popular a few years ago. They promised winners a release on the label and a few pieces of cheap studio gear. I have yet to hear of an artist who became big after participating in such competition. These little contests are ultimately designed to promote the original artist, no one cares about the remixers.
Shazam for Mac is Cool and Creepy at the Same Time
A few days ago, I saw in my newsfeed that Shazam released an app for Mac. The app is designed to run in the background, monitoring all sounds via the Mac's built-in microphone. Once it detects a track you are playing it pops up a notification showing the track title and the artist name.
Out of curiosity I installed Shazam on my MacBook Pro just to see what it does exactly, while thinking that I'd remove it within a day or two. But now, I'm considering keeping it running in the background.
It's amazing how well this works. All tracks that I played from Spotify were detected correctly. After I played Asphalt 8 on my iPad, I checked Shazam log, all background tracks of the game were listed there. Later on, when I was watching A Long Way Down, again it detected all the tracks played in the movie.
All this is cool, but it's creepy at the same time. Shazam is monitoring all the conversations in the room where your mac is. And all the recorded audio is sent back to their servers. So, it comes down to whether you trust Shazam that they won't breach your privacy.
One last thought, all Macs have a green LED indicator letting the user know when the built-in camera active. It would be cool to have a similar LED that could act as a reminder that an app running on your mac is using the built-in mic. It doesn't even have to be a separate indicator. The same camera LED can simply turn blue indicating that the microphone is active (though, this could be confusing for some users thinking that their camera is active).
Fortune Interview with Spotify CEO Daniel Ek
It is no secret that I love Spotify. I don't think any other music streaming service comes close to the great user experience it offers. So I found this interview with Daniel Ek interesting. The CEO of Evernote, Phil Libin said, "The easiest way to get 1 million people paying is to get 1 billion people using." From that point of view, Spotify is doing wildly well. Out of 40 million users 25% of them are paid subscribers.

PreSonus AudioBox iSeries Audio Interfaces: iOne and iTwo →
Excellent choices for mobile musicians, sound designers, and podcasters, the USB 2.0 bus-powered AudioBox iOne and iTwo provide high-quality audio I/O for Mac®, PC, and Apple iPad®. These compact, ruggedly built interfaces offer high-performance Class A mic preamplifiers, record 24-bit audio at up to 96 kHz, and include powerful, easy-to-use Studio One® Artist DAW for Mac and Windows and Capture™ Duo recording software for iPad.
These interfaces look great. I've been holding out for iConnectAudio4+. It has all the features I want in an audio interface. It can digitally stream MIDI and audio between an iOS device and a Mac using the audio passThru technology. This means I can easily integrate iPad music apps into my production. But, I'm not sure how much longer we'll have to wait before it's finally released. So, I might have to grab iTwo (I'm not a big fan of the name by the way) instead. It looks great, has a big volume knob, supports iPad and will be shipping soon.
'Apple is Still Going Pro, from Hardware to Pro App Updates' →
Another great post by Peter Kirn, but what got my attention was the following paragraph:
I think it's time to spend this energy elsewhere. The computer as we know it is for the most part better than ever. If anything, we need to stop worrying about backwards motion and start thinking forward. Desktop creative software is still stuck in 90s-era metaphors. Most of it doesn't deal with touch input or gestures – even trackpad gestures in many cases. It doesn't deal with Internet connectivity in any meaningful way. It doesn't scale properly to higher-resolution displays. It doesn't deal with the widespread use of mobile devices in most cases – most desktop software lacks dedicated mobile control or round-trip mobile workflow options.
We are indeed stuck in 90s-era metaphors.

MIDI Editor for iOS v1.4 Update: Multiple Note Editing & Copy/Paste
New version of MIDI Editor has been submitted to the App Store. Here's what's new:
- Added 3 modes: pencil, edit and velocity.
- It's now possible to select and edit multiple notes at the same time.
- Added Cut, Copy, Paste, Select All and Delete support.
- Playhead can now be dragged to a precise location on the timeline. This is especially useful for pasting notes at precise timestamps.
- Bug fix where after zooming out some notes didn't snap to grid when moved.
- Exported MIDI files now have correct time signatures.
- 'Clear All Notes' removed from the actions menu, as it is no longer required. Use 'Select All' and 'Delete' menu items instead.
- Notes no longer clip each other. This is especially useful when creating new notes or editing multiple notes at the same time.

The use of current-modulated semiconductor lasers for optical heterodyne spectroscopy has been investigated at modulation frequencies up to 2.6 GHz. The current modulation produces a simultaneous frequency and amplitude modulation of the laser output. A characteristic heterodyne spectrum occurs when the modulated laser probes a narrow absorption line. In order to analyze the measured spectra, a complete line shape theory has been derived for heterodyne spectroscopy with frequency- and amplitude-modulated laser light. The results show how the obtained signals depend on the modulation frequency and the phase difference between the frequency and the amplitude modulation. The measurement technique permits investigation of the FM-AM phase difference of current-modulated semiconductor lasers.

Calling all Accountants! I have a question about earning money from an overseas source
Started by me_n_my_kidz , Feb 12 2013 11:14 AM
13 replies to this topic
Posted 12 February 2013 - 11:14 AM
Hopefully this will get found here - I have started to earn a decent amount of revenue for books that I am selling via kindle/kobo/nook stores.
I understand that I have to fill out the forms to activate the tax treaty between Australia and the US but what I'm wondering is - should I set up an ABN under my author name so that I can claim all of the business expenses that come with publishing an ebook?
I pay for cover design, editing, print proofs, blog tours as well as prizes for giveaways to promote my books.
Does anyone have any insight for me? I'm not quite earning enough to pay an accountant to do all of this for me but if someone could point me in the right direction - that would be fantastic!
Posted 12 February 2013 - 01:04 PM
Yes you can apply for an ABN without involving an accountant. The BAS for an author is fairly simple, it really does not need you to pay for an accountant.
Posted 12 February 2013 - 03:23 PM
Even though my money comes from an overseas source?
Posted 12 February 2013 - 03:27 PM
Getting an ABN is different to registering for GST.
When you apply for your ABN do not register for GST unless your income is going to be greater than $75,000. It will mean a little less paperwork each year.
Link to apply for an ABN:
Make sure you have your TFN handy!
Also, even though your income is sourced from O/S, you still have to include this in your Australian Income (I assume you are an Australian citizen & currently reside in Australia).

Posted 12 February 2013 - 03:49 PM
Not registering for GST also means not claiming the GST though. As authors we are registered for GST and the amount of paperwork is negligible compared to the money we get back. Probably not worth it if you are paying for an accountant to prepare it though.
Posted 12 February 2013 - 04:17 PM
I think you need some specialist advise OP.
Authors, actors, sportspeople and the like have special provisions in the taxation legislation as 'special professionals'. Due to the nature of their work (earn a heap one year and nothing for the next few years) they can access nifty things like income averaging.
If you do go to a tax agent, give them a ring first and ask if they have experience with this - most accountants will very rarely come across it.
Here is some ATO information on special professionals including how to do income averaging:
Posted 12 February 2013 - 04:23 PM
It's in the tax forms so, no, you don't need a specialist accountant to access the provisions. They are really only useful for an author when you have a windfall year where your novel is optioned for film.
As we are still waiting for this, we don't do the averaging. We were told by our accountant that if it looks like a windfall is coming, talk to them then.
Overseas income, we just put it in when etax asks us to.
I'm not arguing against paying for an accountant if you are earning serious serious money. It's just not necessary if you are not turning over a lot of money--we were no better off using an accountant.
There's probably excellent info available from the ASA. If you are not already a member, you probably should be.
Posted 12 February 2013 - 05:42 PM
Thank you all for your info!
So I'm gathering that I set up an ABN and then any money that's left over after my costs come out is income that I declare on my personal tax return?
Balzac - I looked but I can't find any info on the ASA website relating to this.
Posted 12 February 2013 - 07:23 PM
You need to go and talk to an accountant , it is more complicated than that.
GST is done separately to your personal income tax.
Posted 12 February 2013 - 07:45 PM
lol ok, I'll have to do that
Posted 13 February 2013 - 04:50 PM
Sort of.
All of the income is declared on your tax return & all of your expenses.
But find an accountant who does know the special rules, it is a very specialised field & I'd hesitate to say you might need to look for a bigger firm rather than a smaller one. Also a good accountant will tell you if they don't know that legislation - we don't all know everything.
Posted 13 February 2013 - 05:39 PM
I'm going to say it again . If you are not in the big leagues, it's really not worth paying the big money for the specialised accountants. If you are turning over the kind of money most Australian authors turn over, you're not going to need the tax spreading options and the expenses and rebates can be done by your average accountant using etax. Writing in the genre you are writing in, you are not going to be up for writing grants, you're a self publisher so royalties and advances are not an issue.
It's no different to any other small business. There's no magic that a very expensive specialised accountant can offer.

Nope. There is a section of etax that you fill in. Income, expenses etc. it works out your income for you. It isn't too complicated once you get into it.

Ninh Binh deliver second T&T win
HA NOI (VNS)— Ninh Binh defeated Ha Noi T&T 3-1 yesterday during an early match of the V-League's third round at Hang Day Stadium.
It was the second victory for Ninh Binh over Ha Noi T&T in the past month. Three weeks ago, Ninh Binh beat T&T on penalty shootouts to win the National Super Cup trophy for the first time in their team's history.
Ninh Binh went ahead just five minutes into the match when Tambwe Patiyo converted a left-wing pass into the opening goal with a header.
The goal, however, did not wake up the sleepy defenders of Ha Noi T&T, who then suffered the second goal just six minutes later by Kavin Bryan, who looped the ball over goalkeeper Duong Hong Son's head to enter the net.
Coach Phan Thanh Hung then made an unexpected change when his leading striker, Gonzalo Damian Marronkle, had to be replaced due to a thigh injury. National team member Pham Thanh Luong was put on the field and made a slight improvement for his side.
They then narrowed the score at the 15th minute. Citizenlised player Hong Vu Samson, who controlled the ball from Luong, scored to make the score 1-2.
However that was all Ha Noi T&T could do. Marronkle's disappearance left a large hole in T&T's line-up. The Argentinian was so important, that coach Hung confirmed that his team usually lost its matches without Marronkle, while coach Nguyen Van Sy of Ninh Binh said his team was lucky to have had the striker sidelined.
"We were not good in the first 30 minutes, when my rivals went ahead. My defenders did not work well, while we had to change our tactics because of losing Marronkle. It must be corrected right after this round," said Hung at the post-match conference.
"Both teams had the same chances, but it is important that my side managed ours thanks to their intensive focus, which was much different than our previous games. Marronkle was on the bench early, so he helped reduce the pressure on our players," said Sy, who used to be Hung's assistant at the national team.
The final goal came at the 34th minute. Patiyo made his double from a free kick, which goalie Son mistakenly missed.
Losing the match on home turf caused T&T boss Nguyen Sy Hien to become angry, as he complained about what he described as referee Dinh Van Dung's unfair decisions, which gave advantages to the visiting team.
"I have never commented about their job before, but I cannot keep silent any more. If these poor-quality referees continue officiating, then Viet Nam football will not develop," Hien said.
T&T assistant coach Van Sy Son earlier reacted to one of referee Dung's decisions, and was given a red card.
The first failure of the season did not change the second position of T&T in the ranking, while Ninh Binh, with three more points, jumped from 11th to fourth place.

The redwood-colored mulch was used on the set of the channel's "Sanctuary" series.
Recently, Pinnacle Rubber Mulch was used in a new application. The mulch served as an important part of the set on the Dec. 16, episode of "Sanctuary," a science fiction-fantasy television series that airs on the Syfy network. The episode, titled "The Depths," used 2,000 pounds of Redwood-colored Pinnacle Rubber Mulch to create an eerie-looking ground in an underground cave scene.
"Pinnacle Rubber Mulch is used as decorative landscaping cover for parks and homes and as safety surfacing for playgrounds across the country, but this is the first time it's been used to create part of a set for a popular TV series," said Brad Pittam, general manager, LTR Products. "We're excited that our Pinnacle Rubber Mulch has made its Syfy debut."

"I was a little worried sending a postcard that it would be flimsy and get stuck in postal machines, but this paper was really great. Heavy with a wonderful texture and bright colors! I have no worries about it 'holding its own' out there in the big world of post!"
"I love Tiny prints this was my first time using this company for invitations and I have to say I was extremely pleased with the quality of the product. My package came extra early which was great because I had a deadline and was late ordering the invitations. Also the RSVP website was so helpful it made planning my party so much easier. I could go online and keep track of the guest as it grow closer to the event. I will definitely be using them for future events"
"this was the perfect card to send to our family and friends for my mom's surprise birthday! it was playful yet elegant at the same time"
"I can say that I used the postcard as a party invitation, & it was nice and different it did the job for me. You can change the the text and color. You can only use one color but you can get alot of information on these postcards."
"I love this invitation! For a poker or casino themed party, it's a great card. The design is simple but flattering. The fact that it is a postcard makes shipping easier and less expensive. I highly recommend the invitation. My only suggestion is that they offer the invitation with different face cards (for example: the "right" Jack for a cribbage themed party)."

Black Eyed Peas - The Time (The Dirty Bit)
Artist: Black Eyed Peas
Producer: will.i.am
Album: The Beginning
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 57 votes )
Now, I'm no Black Eyed Peas hater, but I have to admit that it was with some trepidation that I clicked "play" on the only-a-matter-of-time-before-it's-a-hit lead single off their forthcoming LP – what will I do if I hate it? Live in the woods as a hermit for the next year and a half? Well, after listening to The Time (The Dirty Bit), I'm happy to say I won't be putting down a deposit on a cave anytime soon. I'm… actually kinda digging it. will.i.am proves as deft as ever behind the boards, serving up a sparse, body-moving percussion backdrop for the same brand of eccentric, instantly memorable rhymes that helped make Boom Boom Pow a smash: "All these girls they like my swagger, they call me Mick Jagger / I be rollin' like a stone, jet-setter, jet-lagger." Top it all off with a hook repurposed from Dirty Dancing classic (I've Had) The Time of My Life, and you've got yourself another megahit – or do my ears deceive me? Whatever your feelings on the matter, you can expect to hear plenty more from will, Fergie, apl and Taboo leading up to the November 30, release of the Peas' sixth full-length, The Beginning.

END your Macbook SHAME: Convert it into a Microsoft SURFACE
So you've spent well over a grand on a new Macbook Pro. How do you fancy spending even more than that amount, all over again, to mod your laptop so it resembles a, er, Microsoft Surface? Judging by the the cult-like Apple worship practised by covens of fanbois and gurlz, we'd reckon that few people would take up the offer of …
To be fair, if I needed a pen interface to do my job, and the only available choices were "Windows 8" and "sacrifice a pill of virgins to get a frankenmac" then I would absolutely choose the frankenmac. Windows 8 is one of those things that is worth paying a significant amount of money not to have to deal with.
Alternately, I could just get an x86 tablet and hackintosh it. Or even Windows 7 it. Not exactly routes forward for large enterprises, but good enough for the lone gunman types.
A nice rant Trevor, but if you need a pen to do your job, then a WACOM tablet and some practice is probably cheaper ;-)
Steven R
I agree that a wacom tablet is cheaper, but - and please do correct me if I'm wrong - they aren't generally portable unless they've been built into a "proper" tablet. They serve as a second (or mirrored) monitor where you do things like keep palette tools. At least, that's my experience with them...
Hiya Trevor, you've probably missed these because they are very expensive and niche, so haven't received much general attention:
Wacom released a Win8 Tablet and an Android Tablet in the last year, the latter doing double duty as a screen/digitiser for 'proper' computers when back at your desk.
Kind regards
I would suggest you to check Wacom site... Wacom makes both tablets with no display capabilities (the Intuos line, which you can easily fit in a bag), and tablets with display capabilities (the Cintiq line). Usually they need to be connected to a PC/Mac - but the new Cintiq Hybrid/Companion comes with Windows 8 or Android, your choice... and most of the display devices *are not* for things alike keeping palette tools - they are large advanced (and expensive) tools for graphic professionals needing to draw and paint directly on the screen - with pens capable of pressure, tilt and rotation sensitivity. You can also switch tool just switching the pen, and there are mimicking the feel of real drawing tools.
BTW: many Windows 8 tablets and Android ones have Wacom digitizer that allows for using pens (including the Wacom ones) with far better precision and pressure sensitivity than anything you can use with an iPad. I'm sure the next iPad will come with a digitizer as well....
I was aware of the Android one, didn't know the Win 8 one had come out yet, but it makes sense. Which brings me back to "but it runs Windows 8." If Cintiq wanted to do a Win 7 jobbie on the same hardware, that'd be just fine. Worth a premium, even.
I'm entirely aware of all the tablets with Wacom digitizers (Surface, many of Samsung's, etc.) Hell, I own several.
The reason this Macbook Pro dealie has so many backers - and it isn't remotely the first attempt to "tabletize" a Macbook - is because it runs OSX. Windows 8 is a bucked of warm ebola. Windows 7 isn't particualrly great at being a tablet OS. OSX isn't much better...but it has a cult following, especially amongst "design" types who still buy into a two decade old mythos that says "to do proper design, you need a Mac." (That isn't true, BTW, and ceased being true a long, long time ago.)
The point here is that there are poeple who are willing to spend money on convenience. How is this any different than people who pay 2x or 3x more to get a bag of cough drops at 2am by going to the 24/7 convenience store instead of waiting until the morning and hitting up the bulk shop?
There are people - rather a lot of people - who loathe Windows 8. They loathe it enough that they would rather pay 2x, 3x or even 5x as much for what amounts to the same hardware just to get an operating system whose quirks don't drive them batty.
I sympathize. I am personally in that camp. A slightly modified (give me my fucking up button!) Windows 7 is my preferred environment. I am willing to pay extra and/or put in extra time to get that environment. Quite frankly, if my choices on my next PC were "$5000 Windows 7 box" or "$1000 Windows 8 box" there'd be no contest. I'd by the Windows 7 box.
So yeah, I get why people would mod a Macbook. I also get why they don't want a Windows 8 or Android Cintiq. Both of them are absolutely awful for the types of tasks that anyone with a digitiser is going to do.
So...despite the fretting about a few bent coppers...it's really not all that weird.
>Windows 8 is a bucked of warm ebola.
One thing you can't accuse MS of is being afraid to make history.
Win 8 is so unpopular it has become a legend - up there with the Edsel, New Coke, and the last two Matrix movies.
there was only one matrix movie what are you talking about
Sorry, my bad, I meant a WACOM digitiser, as in the external, flat devices you use that aren't a display.
I stand by my inaccurate and rather childish point. Because I am myself, rather inaccurate and childish.
Hugs and kisses,
Steven R
Despite its user interface, when it comes to touch and digitizer support Windows 8 is far better than Windows 7. There are many under the hood improvements in handling that kind of input which 7 lacks. People got so focused about the Metro UI they missed what other was done. I understand any attempt to build a tablet with good pen input supports needs Windows 8, not 7.
You may like It or not, but in "tablet" mode - without a mouse and a keyboard - Windows 8 "modern UI" works well enough, as it does in Windows Phone. If you need to build an application using a "clean" working areas with all toolbars, etc. hidden, Windows 8 UI frameworks already works that way and you don't need to reimplement it from scratch while keeping away all the other apps. Sure, this is not way most business application works, but for some, it works, and very well.
It's when you try to use it in a classic desktop environment it really doesn't fit well - while the classic shell is not really good when you need to use it on a tablet - and that was what made "Tablet PCs" a niche product.
I use a Surface 2 Pro as my portable device - and I like its pen input very much, I get rid of paper for quick notes and sketches, but I still have Windows 7 on my desktop too (where I have a Wacom tablet connected, anyway).
Also you may like it or not, but most of the photo/design/etc. business workflow is built upon Macs. Using a Mac ensure a smooth workflow avoiding all those little differences that can get in the way when you're not an IT guy but an "artistic" one , they are willingly to pay for the convenience, as you say. But as you said - "to do proper design, you need a Mac." (That isn't true, BTW, and ceased being true a long, long time ago.)" - today Windows applications are on par with the Mac ones.
Once you're inside the application, and it does what you need - you don't care much about the OS running it.
Unlike other users that may use several different applications at once, those working in sectors like photo editing, design, etc. spend most of their time within a single application. I know some that even keep a second computer at hand for "secondary" stuff like email, browsing, etc, because their expensive workstation with custom calibrated monitors run only the software they used for production. They rarely see the OS.
Cheaper still
A 4 notepad and a Parker pen?
"I sympathize. I am personally in that camp. A slightly modified (give me my fucking up button!) "
Personally, I want an un-fucking up button, for when someone fills their PC with crap by clicking ok without reading... Or deletes files with names like system.ini, or finds regedit.exe and thinks it can post edit their Reg posts...
You'll never convince me to switch to Windows, but...
...a really awesome post; you point out the relative advantages of software and OSes when built to purpose without coming off like a fanboy or a shill or a paid troll. That said...
"...Also you may like it or not, but most of the photo/design/etc. business workflow is built upon Macs. Using a Mac ensure a smooth workflow avoiding all those little differences that can get in the way when you're not an IT guy but an 'artistic' one...
The first computer I ever owned was a Mac, in early '85, and that's all I've ever used. I'm one of those weird guys -- a professional designer, trained in the arts, but still a space and sci-fi geek with an interest in computers that goes back to my '60s boyhood. So, when I started using a computer to do my work, I went with the Mac, no contest, and dived into it way deeper than most of the designers in the shop, to the point where I ended up being the unofficial "IT guy" in the design department.
"...I know some that even keep a second computer at hand for "secondary" stuff like email, browsing, etc, because their expensive workstation with custom calibrated monitors run only the software they used for production...
Yeah, that's me. I'm totally doing that here. My main work machine is a loaded MacBook Pro with an external keyboard and mouse (to keep from wearing out the MBP keyboard) and a 17" Acer hanging off of it so I have enough real estate for stuff like my CS apps, and a Web browser (I have all my Web and email on it, too, as it's also my "road" machine).
The old G4 iBook which used to be my "road" machine is now the "entertainment server", set up with a Web browser, QuickTime, VLC Player and iTunes, with a big FireWire drive with all my music and movies on it, and the audio out patched into my stereo amp.
Hell, I still have my old G4 tower in the studio -- cleaned, scraped, re-optimized, decommissioned -- while I make up my mind whether or not to experiment with Linux Mint on it.
"Despite its user interface, when it comes to touch and digitizer support Windows 8 is far better than Windows 7. There are many under the hood improvements in handling that kind of input which 7 lacks. People got so focused about the Metro UI they missed what other was done. I understand any attempt to build a tablet with good pen input supports needs Windows 8, not 7."
Um, no. I'm pretty sure that I said Windows 7 was ass at dealing with pens, or being a tablet. I know full well that Windows 8 has many under the hood improvements over Windows 7. It's the chrome that makes it a bucket of warm ebola.
And it isn't just Metro. It's the fucking charms. And the flat everything. And the zero delineation of controls. And the "cloud integration". And the streaming of your every move back to the hivemind. And the...
Seriously man, if it were just fucking Metro we wouldn't hate it this much.
Ultimately, that's the reason why people don't want to use it, even if the digitizer support is better. It's the 10,000 "little things" in the UI that pick and nag at you like a cloud of bees in your brains. Using the damned thing is just awful, and that's why people will cheerfully pay significant amounts extra to avoid it.
@Ben Bonsall +1 for making me larf. Good show, that man.
Great points, well made with humour that made me laugh out loud, and if you don't mind I'm going to borrow the phrase "bucket of warm ebola®" as my preferred description of Windows 8. Work just gave me a lovely new Thinkpad, ruined by 8 so I am not feeling very charitable towards that OS right now.
Have an upvote from me.

@Dave 132
Ahoyhoy! You coming to VMworld? I think I owe you a keg or three of beer...
"Also you may like it or not, but most of the photo/design/etc. business workflow is built upon Macs."
Not if you are a 3d artist or CAD designer. Windows is where all the major pro packages have traditionally lived (apart from a few on linux) - some are still not available for the mac or get released a version behind.
Resistance is futile Trevor

Re: Resistance is futile Trevor
"Coming from an account named "Fungus Bob" just makes that statement all the more creepy..."
Your claim for Windows 8 is not true.
My preference is for stylus input and navigation.
I use Windows 7 on a tablet PC because the onscreen keyboard docks properly to the top of a landscape screen, with start, taskbar etc on the bottom. The Windows 8/8.1 options are limited. This particular aspect is widely criticised.
There's a patch promised for next week to improve distinguishing between mouse and stylus input. I am not holding my breath. The new Frankenstein UI hasn't sorted background apps stealing focus.
Don't get me started about OneNote. A big step backwards then staggering in every direction.
The Good Book of Steve isn't written in stone
Actually, that's...very nice. Good job. Just because Apple designs a product doesn't mean that it wasn't handed down by Moses himself, never to be questioned by mere mortals.
Apple legal department behavior pretty much is, though
And as soon as Apple decides this little project is infringing on their shiny, shiny image, you can bet that this Kickstarter will be punted to a judges' feet to be squashed.
After all, even officially-recognized Apple fan sites have been squashed before, and they didn't even try to make money off it. This project not only attempts to make money, but does so by destroying the purity of Apple product and, in the process, making it look like a Microsoft product.
I just cannot see Apple stand by and let that happen.
Re: Apple legal department behavior pretty much is, though
MAcbook/Wacom mods have been going for over a decade IIRC. When I got my 10 year old baby Wacom I saw there were more expensive options to get a larger one and a Macbook conversion.
Re: Apple legal department behavior pretty much is, though
Apple are happy for you to do whatever the hell you want to a Macbook, as long as you buy it from them first.
It beats...
carrying around a MacBook Pro and a Cintiq, if that is your workflow.
I'm very happy with my hybrid Windows 8.1 device and it was one of the reasons I chose it over getting a new Mac.
First impression
$50k pledged? The war on drugs has failed.
Just one question
Is it possible to pledge negative amounts on Kickstarter?
I 'd have a higher opinion of this project if it came with some tasty potato salad
Re: Just one question
@ Frankee Llonnygog
"Is it possible to pledge negative amounts on Kickstarter?"
Spread betting on kickstarter options? Bring it on.

Re: Just one question
"Is it possible to pledge negative amounts on Kickstarter?"
As it was partly your idea I'm going to have to cut you in on a slice of my new venture, but here it is: Kickstopper.
Basically we come up with really fucking terrible products, and the good people of the Internet have to pay to stop us making them.
Re: Kickstopper
I like it. Put me down for -£50
Re: Just one question
Not sure if your wish came true but in the article it said the current investment was $51773 (I think) but when I clicked the link it was only $47k so maybe some people had pulled out.
Re: Just one question
Too late, MS already have a bloody huge advane with W8..
Oh, I'm very tempted to send my Macbook for modding. Better still, it isn't mine, so I'd love to see the look on the faces of our IT Support team when I take it into the office. Sadly, while our head of technology would think it funny, I'm not entirely sure the support guys would, for obvious reasons :-)
Re: Tempting
Wow! That's almost enough material for an entire BOFH episode right there! I hope Simon Travaglia is reading....
Re: Tempting
I don't even have to wait to see the Simon version of that story to get a chuckle out of it - the very idea brings a smile to my face!
Of just wait and see about the new iPads and MacBooks from Apple - would not surprise me to see some convergence with touch screen MacBooks with or without keyboards and capable of running iOS apps.
MacBooks with or without keyboards and capable of running iOS apps.
What's the point though if you have a real multitasking device that supports useful thing like tabs and being able to search for text.
Any way the trackpad gives you the benefits of touch screen ease and doesn't get the screen greased up (unless you sneeze violently or cough as your swallowing a well masticated bacon butty gob full).
Those prices seem reasonable
Seeing how easily Apple fanboys part with their money.
Re: Those prices seem reasonable
If it were easy, Modbook would have sold enough of their previous version to not require Kickstrarter now.
Add a Clown Nose…
… and the mod will be complete.
Errr one problem
You can hackintosh a surface pro with most of the same advantages for around £400.
Re: Errr one problem
Maybe, but the Wacom digitiser is better in the Modbook. If you are using it to earn a living, then the premium may well be worth it.
If you use something day in, day out, you become more sensitive to the little details.
I present to you, the ultimate portable writing device. Stand back and be amazed.
How does that thing .... remotely .... look like a surface ? Oh, you mean, you pull the keyboard off ? They have been doing that for years, what you do is, hook up a apple wireless keyboard, mIghtyMouse (or any other wireless USB keyboard/mouse ) and a cheap stand, like the ones on display in stores where you find tablets, and you are good to go ..... The surface is supposed to be portable with keyboard, I doubt this thing is ...
As for me, no way ... when 1 infinite loop decided to solder mem and storage they definitely lost me as a customer. As the Germans say: "Ich bin doch nicht blöd", YMMV ;-)
As for the Windows 7/8 fans fighting on here, 8 is abysmal, 7 is almost as bad as Vista, as was XP, Me, 98, NT4, 95 they only fixed the memory allocation bug in 7 and you call that great when you all despise Vista ??????!? ROFL. Server OS' left out coz, well, they are not what is written on the box (for servers).
Windows 8 interface sucks as much on phone as on desktop, hove not tried surface [pro] as I do not know anybody with one ... ;-)
I am happy with my ui from the 90's on the desktop ... does the trick ... and my BB10 phones works for me as well ...
Re: !#@$
Hans, sorry, not enough caps for FOTW. Nice try though. I thing there is a conspiracy to make all UIs suck as they age or get created. The recent rash of back to the past updated Linux desktops indicate I am not alone.
If there is a real market for this Apple will do it.
They may sue these people out of existence anyway.
Re: Apple
Sue them? On what grounds?
>If there is a real market for this Apple will do it.
Like truly ruggedised laptops, it's not a big market - but it does exist.
If Apple wanted to sell such a machine themselves, they could easily undercut the price of a Modbook, and possibly tweak the OS to give themselves a competitive advantage. Apple can't be bothered with a diverse product range, and so are quite happy for Modbook to fulfil this small niche.
You don't hear Harley Davidson complaining that people keep buying their motorcycles at full-price before chopping them up.

Mary-Kate: You look retarded.
Ashley: Takes one to know one.

Ashley: Skank.
