we have both in my school and it's never been an issue because the kids know the difference! Although the refer to Imac's as big Ipads!
I was speaking to the head at one of the primaries today, and she told me something i found totally bizarre. They had iPads in Reception year 2 years ago, and they kids love them. Now those kids are in Year 2 they no longer have iPads and have netbooks instead, they absolutely hate them because they have physical keys and are scared to death of them and its becoming an issue.
Anybody else come across this? Suppose we have always seen computers as having physical keys, but these are of the age when touch screen is a computer, and this thing with a keyboard is a big scary monster.
we have both in my school and it's never been an issue because the kids know the difference! Although the refer to Imac's as big Ipads!
I can kinda sympathise with people disliking netbooks because I've never seen a netbook that I'd consider pleasant to use, but I find the idea that they're "scared" of them to be somewhere between absurd and possibly a scathing indictment of the person responsible for teaching them to use the netbooks...
Show them how to move the keys around so that they spell rude words. That will take the fear away.
Garacesh (11th November 2013)
Some of the kids here have pressed the monitors before, thinking they were touch screen, they didn't notice the keyboard in front of them!

Palestinian civilians carry an injured boy during clashes with Israeli security forces near the eastern border of the Gaza Strip, east of the northern town of Jabalia, on February 21, 2014 following a demonstration demanding for the lifting of the Israeli blockade on the Palestinian enclave. AFP PHOTO / MAHMUD HAMS
GAZA CITY: The Gaza Strip's militant Hamas rulers have said they plan to let private contractors take over the running of the Palestinian territory's border crossings with Egypt and Israel.
"The government is to give the private sector the opportunity to handle the technical management of crossing points from the Gaza Strip," Hamas deputy prime minister Ziad al-Zaza told AFP on Saturday and said that a commission of seven businessmen would be dedicated to the project.
"Supervision of all terminals will be under government control," said Zaza, who is also finance minister.
The coastal strip, whose air and sea lanes are blocked by Israel, has three land crossings; Erez and Kerem Shalom with Israel and Rafah with Egypt.
Kerem Shalom is for goods only, while Erez and Rafah are for passenger traffic.
Although Hamas ousted the western-backed Palestinian Authority from Gaza in 2007 PA officials continue to coordinate the work of the crossings with Israel.
Israel does not have direct political or economic ties with Hamas which it defines as "a terrorist organisation."
Hamas MPs, who hold the majority of seats in the Palestinian parliament -- met in special session in a tent at Rafah on Sunday to demand that Egypt lift border crossing restrictions.
"We are here in front of the Rafah terminal to ask our brothers in Egypt to open Rafah to goods and persons," deputy parliament speaker Ahmad Bahar said.
Egypt imposed the restrictions as part of a campaign by its security forces against jihadists in the lawless Sinai Peninsula, which borders Gaza and Israel.
Exit through Israel is strictly controlled, with permits mainly limited to "medical and humanitarian" cases.
Entry of goods to Gaza from Israel is also limited, with passage barred to a range of "controlled items" which Israel deems could be used by militants to make weapons or build fortifications.

Young Money's Drake allegedly shot a few friendly fire blasts toward Jay-Z and Kanye West this week over their upcoming Watch the Throne compilation and sarcastically took credit in inspiring their record.
Speaking with radio host Tim Westwood, Drake discussed his forthcoming joint album with Lil Wayne and referenced Watch the Throne.
"I'll be on [Tha Carter IV] — we've done a great song…We're going to do another one… and another one. We still got to do that [collaboration] album. I heard two other guys are coming out with an album together, too. There's two other rappers [that] are coming out with an album together. I don't know where they got that idea but — I caught wind of it through the grapevine that there's some other album with two guys rapping on it. [laughs]" ("Tim Westwood TV")
Prior to Wayne being released from jail over a gun conviction, Drake promised a joint album would be put together.
"I went up to Rikers, and me and Wayne agreed that there will be a Lil Wayne/Drake album," Drake told DJ Envy on MTV's "Sucker Free." " … There's some things I'm excited for in my life — I'm excited to go perform certain places — but [this project] will probably be one of the most exciting things in my life, because we make music on a different level. It's just so fun, so comfortable. A whole album? To think about all the things we can do, especially if we're gonna do 15 songs. Me and him don't like to do 12, 13 [songs]. We want to do 15, 16. Yeah, Lil Wayne and Drake album." (MTV)
In addition to working on Jay's Blueprint III and recruiting Hov for their "Light Up" Thank Me Later collaboration, Drizzy is also a big fan of Kanye West.
"I'm very much looking forward to the Kanye West [My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy] album because I need to be scared and inspired for my second joint," Drake to radio personality Funkmaster Flex. "That ['Power'] record just had to happen. Kanye's a genius and I'm super excited for the rest of the album because I've heard some things that people haven't heard." ("Sucker Free")
While neither Jay or Kanye have announced an official release date, the project is speculated to drop in early March.
Despite Ye's NYE claim that his joint project with Jigga, Watch The Throne, would drop sometime "this week" , sources close to Kanye and Def Jam have informed me that the album has a solid and official release date: March 1st, 2011. I was also told that the official first single, a track the public has yet to hear, is set to drop on January 11th, but could come as soon as Friday. Perhaps, that's what Kanye meant when he said it was coming this week? (Fake Shore Drive)

Black Tie Untied
Date: March 4, 2013
by: Black Tie Staff
Hearts Afire held their annual benefit Friday, March 1, at Michael's On East — the seventh year that the organization has held their benefit to help raise money for the not-for-profit organization.
Unlike many black tie events throughout the season, the invitation noted that black tie was optional and international attire was welcome. Many people took the opportunity to wear outfits from various mission trips including India and Kenya. Heart of David, a local Christian rock band, performed a handful of their original songs, including a song they wrote for the organization called "Hearts Afire."
Since 2006, Hearts Afire has taken hundreds of people — physicians, nurses, pharmacists, business people, ministers and other caring individuals — overseas to provide relief to a variety of hurting locations around the world.
The joint was jumpin' and jivin' for the Asolo's annual gala Saturday night, at the Charles Ringling Mansion. Themed "American Big Band," the event featured Michael Andrew and his 17-piece Atomic Big Band as the musical entertainment for the evening. Fayvin Duffy and Sid Pocius, of Empire Ballroom Studio, wowed the crowd with their special dance performance.
Co-Chairs Diana Kelly and Chris Cogan were proud to say that the event was sold-out and even had to add a few tables due to the high demand.
Check out the video below to see Michael Andrew and his band perform "I Get a Kick Out of You."

I know what you're thinking: didn't House of Pain basically close the book on jumping-themed rap records way back in 1992? Perhaps, but let's not be too hasty: they were just jumping around while, as you'll see, Chi-town duo B.X.C. are more the type to Jump on you and pound you into the ground, like a hip-hop version of the Super Mario Bros. Over beatsmith Lexx' understated bass, thematically-appropriate sound effects (i.e. screams) and 6/8 (!) percussion rhythm, freestyle series alumni Lyriq and Commando showcase their mic skills, lacing the beat with triplet-heavy lyrical fire "Comin' to regulate, I will not hesitate to let you know you are hella fake, battle me, strategy, conquer and separate…" The result hits so hard I wouldn't be surprised if it left a smoking crater on our front page (let's hope not, though – that sh*t's expensive to repair). If this high-impact cut leaves you craving more, we've got you covered - sponsored by DJBooth.net, the duo's @BXCMusic street album is set to hit our mixtape page for free streaming and download on the 23rd.

It's time for me to dust off this little corner of the internet, because I'm eager to start sharing and community building again. There are so many changes around these parts, I can barely keep up. That means there's also a ton of new inspiration, and I am anxious and excited to see if this little blog can flourish and find a place in this new life of ours.
I'm overwhelmed as hell, and I'm ready to go on a ride.
#BlogTourNYC 2014 | Thrilled to be a presenter this Friday
This coming Friday, I will be humbly imparting some of my interiors photography knowledge to an esteemed group of design bloggers at a workshop hosted by Modenus on their NYC Blog Tour! Tina Ramchandani and Sarah Sarna of design firm Franklin Eighth graciously invited me to join their Day of Design, which you can read more about on Tina's design blog, Life in Sketch. I am over the moon excited about meeting this talented crew of design bloggers and social media gurus.
You bloggers are already here for the festivities, and I'm reading that you've been Pinning outfits to wear and lamenting that yoga pants are not acceptable daily attire here. I'm gonna tell you straight up that even though my baby is 10 months old, I still only have 3 outfits that fit, and NYer through and through, Imma wear one of those 3 outfits and you're gonna deal with it. Even if I choose the yoga pants. Because I'm a behind the camera kind of girl.
Let me just tell you that choosing a photo of yourself is horrifying. For me anyway. Even though I already agonized over this photo for my website, I still had half the familia weigh in on which one to send Tina along with the requested bio. And the story behind this photo (and another I like to use around town) is that I totally cut out my husband. Meany! Right? Just cut him right out even though he's fabulous and handsome and incredible. I'm awful. Luckily he understands. He says no one wants to see him anyway. That can't possibly be true. So here he is below, in his Lady GaGa Telephone t-shirt and his Darth Vader sneakers, unless he makes me take this off the interwebs. Thanks, baby, for being my rock and always making me laugh through the best and worst. (cue overly sentimental gagging noise)
Thank you, Hinkley Photo, for capturing this treasured moment during our engagement back in 2011. Back when this outfit fit me. Almost.

We're back after quite the weekend! There were props, drops, hops and top..... hats (sorry we couldn't find any other relevant rhyming words).
So with our remaining nimble nine couples getting ready for the road to Wembley, do you have any questions or comments for when they join Zoe on the It Takes Two sofa?
Here's our current schedule for this week;
Julien MacDonald
Friday (with our Friday Panel)
Friday Panel - TBC
As soon as we find out the confirmed Friday panel then as ever, we'll let you all know.
Until then, leave any questions or comments below and (everybody now) don't forget to leave your name and location!
All posts are reactively-moderated and must obey the house rules.
Join the discussion...
Valread @ 20
no idea who picks the music I thought it was the pro dancers but now not so sure!!!
Good question
A real joy having the Claudia/Tess combo - definitely the way forward - and with Zoe on weeknights, the icing on the cake. The ladies have it sown up, but if a senior male is obligatory, I think Mr Wogan would fit quite nicely.
Purplejot - sorry don't agree!!!! Yuk!!!
Question for Erin (and Richard): Whats it like to get to Wembley??? (Something Anton hasn't done)
We love the whole Strictly experience, but please, Zoe, stop telling us to "get lost" in French when all we want to do is stay and watch your show! I have a feeling, or at least I hope, you mean "Allons y" meaning "let's go!" And not "Allez-vous en" (get lost!). Best show on TV! Thanks
has anyone else noticed how much Kimberly looks like a young Brigette Bardot ? when she was stood on the stairs just before the dance.
Vincent and Dani - your Tango on Saturday night was fantastic - Dani you are such a brilliant dancer. Question for Vincent - Your Argentine Tango with Flavia on Sunday evening was fantastic - was the performance from your stage show Midnight Tango which I am going to see in Newcastle in May?
PS Vincent so I love the way you send yourself up all the time.
ITT tonight - Craig appeared to protest too much, perhaps realises he was too harsh on Louis, but couldn't admit he was wrong.
Louis/Flavia- Craig was really tough on Harry Judd - history could repeat itself - fingers crossed
Please help! as Going away on Friday so I will not be able to watch the Wembley extravaganza,I need to know the time set the recorder . I hope you can help.
What a great show on Saturday. It was so much better and enjoyable with Bruce not being there! The two girls done a wonderful job - lets have more.
If theirs one solace in Fern-Artem being the latest couple to leave it is knowing I won't have the unsettling sight of Artem's body. As a male who is quite challenged in the looks department I surely ought not to have such images foisted upon me. Consideration please.
Hi - am I the only one to think that the way Strictly does the scoring when there are, e.g. equal second judges scores, is screwing the result? What I understood was that when, as in this week's judges scores there were equal seconds then it would appear as: 1st = 10 points, two people equal 2nd = 9 points each, but the next one is 4th not 3rd and shoud get 7 points not 8. With this week having another pair on equal judges points further down the leader board it meant that the person in 10th position achieved 3 points, by the Strictly system, instead of 1 point for 10th place.
I'm not routing for anyone in particular, just trying to understand how someone could come from being joint second to one of the last two places? It doesn't make mathematical sense. I'd be interested to hear what anyone else, and the Strictly team, think of this.
A large part of the success of "Strictly" is down to your wonderful singers.
Please bring them into the It Takes Two studio one night, so that we can put faces to the beautiful voices.
Having taken my Official Board Scrutineer's exam in the 1970s I am at a loss to understand how Kimberley managed to be in the bottom two. I believe the only way this could have happened was if she scored the lowest public vote and Michael the highest!
In response to Notnumbersix. Under Offical Board Rules the points on the night should have been Denise 10 Dani 9 Kimberley 9 Louis 7 Lisa 6 Victoria 5 Nicky 5 Richard 3 Fern 2 Michael 1. Like you I don't understand how the BBC have scored this and the eventual result of Kimberley being in the bottom two. Like you I am not routing for anyone and as an ex dance teacher just enjoy the show and the revival in ballroom dancing this has caused.
A message to the SCD Producers - Hugh Grant (actor) was on The Agenda on ITV1 (I know the OTHER side) last night which was on after the 10.00 pm News and he let it be known that he has a fantasy to be on Strictly Come Dancing - so make a note and for the next series pick up the phone and make that call!!
I'll be watching this space.
Maureen Davison
We so admite Michael whose worked incredibly hard with Natalie on every aspect of his dancing with Natalie. Everyone admires his commitment and if there is any justice he should stay in competition for many weeks to come.
It was such a lovely gesture from Artem last night flowers for Fern he really is such a gentleman. Shall miss him so much on the show
Do hope they will showcase him more in the pro dances now, the best dancer and choreographer on SCD. producers please note !!!
Have to agree with Mortimeister (18) The show flowed much better and we got to hear from all of the judges, although whether I really wanted to hear what Craig had to say about Louis.... and as for his scoring?
Loved Karen Harding's dress this evening - where did she get it from?
Vicky :))
Oh, my God!!! Julian is too loud and overly excited. I had to move to BBC1.

Common sense suggests that if a trailer's doors are open, its refrigeration unit ought to be shut down. But many customers disagree, thinking the products will be better protected if cooled air continues to circulate as freight is being unloaded.
October 17, 2013
Blue Tree Systems Inc., a provider of reefer monitoring, trailer tracking, and in-cab fleet management solutions and ATDynamics Inc., a supplier of semi-trailer rear-drag aerodynamics technology, announced the availability of a modified door sensor to detect when a semi-trailer's TrailerTail aerodynamic device is properly deployed by a driver.

Coming soon: Open source JavaFX for iOS, Android
Re: This looks like a solution in search of a problem
Indeed. Though perhaps it's technically correct if you read it as allowing _Java_ developers to be able to write cross-platform apps for the first time :) (Which is a bit sad given that Java was meant to be write once run anywhere - we have desktop-Java, Java-for-mobiles-except-Android-and-iphone, and Android-Java. JavaFX would at last be cross-platform between non-mobile OSs, and a couple of mobile OSs at least. Although still not as cross-platform as C++...)
iOS 6.1 KNACKERED our mobile phone networks, claim Vodafone, Three
Re: The real reason
But if the problem is that IOS updates are rushed out ASAP to get a "Everyone runs the latest version of IOS, but Android users are left waiting" headline, then that's still a reasonable criticism of Apple's method. Android updates could have bugs, sure, but the point is they go through the networks.
What with this and the IOS maps fiasco, can people stop complaining about slow updates on Android - there's a benefit to testing, and going through the network operators.
Apple said to develop curved glass iWatch with Foxconn
Re: Flexible glass is the wet dream of the tech press
"No one saw the iPhone coming or the iPad for that matter"
There was vast amounts of media hype before the iphone release. There was vast amounts of media hype even before the ipad was announced - remember "islate"?
For the rest of your comment - go get a Pebble or whatever.
Re: The "new hotness"?
Or rather, the media are good at doing it - the hype for the ipad started before it was even announced, let alone released. Meanwhile Android tablets (some of which appeared in 2009) were ignored until recently. No doubt we'll see the same thing here, where the media give vast amount of coverage for some iwatch, whilst the earlier Android models are completely ignored. People will buy it just so they can walk around with an Apple logo stapled on their wrist. Meanwhile Casio etc will continue to sell far more watches.
Tablets were mainstream in the 2000s - it's just we didn't call them tablets, we called them names like PDAs, media players and smartphones (they're all handheld touchscreen computing devices - I mean, I was looking at mp3 players in 2009, and at the high end were large devices which ran Android or Windows, and did videos, Internet and apps - i.e., tablets) (the other kind of "tablet" - the laptop PC that was also a tablet - wasn't that mainstream, but then the ipad wasn't one of those anyway).
Re: Not likely called ' iWatch', though.
Casio had better watch it - mine has rounded corners...
Chrome OS code suggests Chromebook Pixel could be real
Re: resolution up to 2560 by 1700
I have a similar feeling regarding 10" tablets (e.g., Nexus 10's resolution) or 5" phones (Galaxy S4 rumoured to be full HD). For web browsing, there seems little point. For watching videos, you can't even fit a single Blu-Ray quality file into a 16GB device (and streaming would quickly eat up most people's monthly data allowance) so either people watch lower resolution anyway, or have high resolution encoded at low quality which defeats the point. For playing games, there's the issue of the extra strain on the GPU (which are typically far below PC graphics cards) - and I think games on mobile devices are far more restricted by storage space (high end meshes/textures take lots of space, typically these games require about 1GB, so you can't install too many of them - leaving most games to have much simpler graphics).
Meanwhile, laptops designed for productivity get stuck at 1366x768, unless you spend a lot more money...
At least this is a laptop though - maybe Google do intend to push Chrome more into productivity use (albeit with HTML5). Even now, it does support offline applications. Perhaps it'll give a kick to laptop specs in general, for those wanting to run Windows or (GNU)Linux.
Dead Steve Jobs 'made Tim Cook sue Samsung' from beyond the grave
Re: Jobs
I'm pretty sure Samsung have outsold Apple for quite a while in mobiles, not just recently - it's unclear if Apple were ever ahead. And Apple were never number one - especially if you're talking the timescales of iphone 1/3G, the sales were lower than Symbian, BlackBerry and even Windows Mobile. Although I agree choosing to litigate rather than innovate is sad.
Microsoft Surface Pro launch: It's easy to sell out of sod all stock
To be fair
Every other company seems to be doing the same thing these days, obviously having learned from the days when Apple got lots of publicity from it. (Plus if the 128GB version is in more demand, that's a good sign - the fear with these fancy high end tablet hybrids is that few want to spend that much money.)
As long as they don't take as long as Google with the Nexus shortages, they're not doing that bad (do we even know what the story is? The Nexus 4 should be taking the smartphone world by storm; the Nexus 10 ends any reason to buy an ipad - except it's still hard to be getting either of them...)
Björk gives up trying to Kickstart Android music app
Re: So in summary
You can write the UI in C++ on Android - I don't see why the Java layer on Android needs to be anymore than what you say is needed for iphone?
Although I use Qt on Android, and don't write a single line of Java.
Re: So in summary
I think it's unfair to compare on what Google say, as it's penalising them for being honest, whilst Apple meanwhile claim their devices are "magical"... (meanwhile most Apple users see imperfections as "Why would you want to do that", or even a feature).
"But most Android devices aren't JB yet."
Most devices aren't iphones. One can still buy a specific device if you know you want JB.
Re: So in summary
All you're seeing there is that when someone uses an Apple product, they have to advertise the fact, and it gets an article in the news. (And it's still a device looking for use - great, I can lug a big expensive device around, and leave the paper at home!)
Obviously one can use devices to display sheet music, including tablets, same with using devices in performances. Sorry, nothing special or magical about IOS.
BlackBerry Q10: This quirky QWERTY will keep loyalists perky
Re: Not just for loyalists
No ecosystem? It's a smartphone, not a rainforest.
(Seriously, I've never understood what this recent marketing-speak actually means. I thought it was something to do with software, you know, that thing we've had for decades, but then you get people like you saying some platforms with software still don't have an "ecosystem", or that this is some kind of recent thing.)
Windows Phone 8 hasn't slowed Microsoft's mobile freefall
Re: This is US only, not at all representative of worldwide (also means that Apple aren't #1)
Yes, I covered that in my post - it's fair game to note that Nokia/WP still haven't cracked the US market ("Nokia still haven't broken into the US market, despite them hoping to with WP"). And yes, if their reasoning for ditching Symbian was to crack the US market, it's also a bad move. But we have an article conflating US sales with the worldwide market, and many comments doing the same.
Re: This is US only, not at all representative of worldwide (also means that Apple aren't #1)
Asha is a smartphone - how is it not? The weird thing is why manufacturers continue with the odd "feature" label (no, it might not be as good as a high end smartphone, but neither is a cheap Android, or still-on-sale older iphone - it's like saying a £300 laptop isn't a laptop, as it isn't as good as my £1500 one).
3rd party industry observers have included Asha (I forget which off hand, but this was why Nokia started counting it as a smartphone). Unlike Apple, who declared their dumb phone a smartphone, even when it couldn't run apps (something that feature phones did years earlier).
Yes, it's a fair point to note that their recent growth has come much more from Asha than WP (although the latter still grows), but I'm not sure why people try to redefine Asha as not being a smartphone. Indeed, surely it's more damning of WP, if most of their smartphone growth is from another platform? (Also I wouldn't say it is either rocketing, or mysterious - up until recently, their smartphone sales were much higher - they went down as Symbian was phased out, now they're going up as they introduce new smartphone platforms.)
Re: Is hell exothermic or endothermic?
Indeed - and people forget just how poorly iphone sold in its early years, only really getting mainstream 2010-2011.
(Plus remember, these stats are US only, so completely useless for info on worldwide share or sales.)
I don't think I've seen total WP for Q4 2012 - for Nokia alone it was 4.something million.
(I agree about the problems of "market share" - for years the media moaned about Nokia's "falling share", but actually their Symbian sales were not only increasing, but doing so at a faster rate - in absolute numbers - than iphone. But the media spun it so Apple were top, Nokia last. Funnily enough, now that Apple are in exactly the same situation with their ipads - falling share, but increasing sales - the media seem less keen to use this tactic...)
This is US only, not at all representative of worldwide (also means that Apple aren't #1)
This is US only, whilst WP8 still grows overall. That's why the figures don't match up, either with the Nokia adverts, or what MS have said (as reported in the article). The only lie is the Register spinning US-only facts as if it was representative of the worldwide market.
Similarly with Android vs IOS or Samsung vs Apple. Worldwide, Samsung are first (and Nokia second), way ahead of Apple. And in the US, last quarter IOS went up with Android falling, but that was only in the US - worldwide Android continues to dominate.
I don't care for WP, but I dislike articles trying to mislead people just to push an agenda - it seems that not one single other commenter noticed that these figures are for the US only.
The only valid point worth reporting is that Nokia still haven't broken into the US market, despite them hoping to with WP. But that isn't a fall - Symbian never made it in the US either. In general, the US has never been representative of worldwide usage. I mean, in 2007 they thought Apple's dumb phone was something amazingly new because the US was years behind in phone tech, whilst everyone else had had apps and Internet years before even on feature phones, not to mention the US not having seen smartphones before. And whilst Android has caught on since then, it's still not dominating in the way that it has outside the US.
Re: Did I miss the big Microsoft advertising blitz?
I don't about MS, but practically *every single US show* (at least, those that also air over here) in the last five or more years has Apple product placement in it. The only exceptions being those where it doesn't make sense (e.g., sci-fi, fantasy, historical). (Thankfully those are my favourite genres...)
Re: Unsurprising really..
Things weren't that bad - Symbian *did* rule the world, as in being number one, as late as 2011. True, it missed the chance to be the "standard OS for everything" that ultimately dominated, because Android got in there, but it had an excellent run nonetheless.
Re: Unsurprising really..
Have you actually used it anytime recently?
Symbian uses Qt, one of the best programming APIs I've come across. And having used recent Symbian and Android, I find them both good, each have their pluses and minuses.
The Register: Our all-new app now available for Android
"Do any browsers support orientation detection? Properly, I mean, not just re-flowing the text. A dedicate app will often adopt an entirely different layout in horizontal mode than vertical mode. Putting buttons along the top instead of down the side for instance."
Actually I often find a reverse, an "app" will be hardcoded for one orientation, whilst the webpage will at least do some reasonable job at coping.
Re: This
True, though I think the thing that really makes things odd is all the people advertising "apps" for their website for ipads. Seems like at least one advert per ad break advertises an ipad app, whilst Sky have launched a whole industry for fishermen with ipads, and casinos.
So if the reason is for small devices, that doesn't apply to big ipads with high resolutions. And if there's some other reason why an application is better, I wonder why there isn't an application for Windows (Windows x86, not WP or RT), for you know, the majority of people who use those laptop things, rather than the minority of Apple users. (And maybe an app for OS X and Linux users too, if they want to be cross-platform.)
Perhaps it's that they only produce for devices with cut-down browsers (but so much for the idea of ios devices having good browsers - maybe good compared to a feature phone, perhaps). The only other explanation is that they're produced by managers who think an "app" is something special that only runs on Apple devices (or perhaps Android). At least once now, I've heard someone say "Windows 8 can now run apps" ...
Could this be Google's slick new touchscreen Chromebook?
"it could potentially ruffle the feathers of its hardware partners in much the same way that Microsoft rankled OEMs by releasing Surface under its own brand."
But is this actually made by Google, or a Google branded device made by a hardware partner, as has been the case with Nexus devices and Chromebooks so far? If the latter, it's no different to before.
(Assuming it isn't just vaporware of course.)
HP jumps on Chromebook bandwagon with 14-incher
Re: "..at $329.99 "
He has a point though - with a Linux/Windows laptop, you can still do all the Google/cloud stuff, and have the extra functionality too. Not that I'm saying Chrome OS is bad - it's good to have choice, and these are priced at the very low end of laptops (unlike the earlier generations).
But it's reasonable to compare to other low cost laptops (most people seem to be comparing to netbooks, which doesn't seem right to me - they are smaller and have much better battery life, but less performance; if you want performance and a larger device, and don't need as long battery life, normal laptops are the thing to compare to).
"have it backed up is far more important"
I don't really agree with Google's "you don't have to back it up" argument - if data is only online, I still want to make offline backups. I guess you could argue that Google are more reliable than most, and won't go away anytime soon, but still - everytime a cloud solution disappears, if someone hasn't backed it up elsewhere, the response here is to say it's their own fault. For something as important as business, you wouldn't want to stake your livelihood on another company like that, so you'd still need the IT to do the offline backup. Not to mention issues like security considerations. So I'd say the opposite - Chrome makes things easier for the casual user (who probably doesn't do any backup, so Google is going to be more reliable than an average local hard disk), but it's less useful for business use. (Although true, there are probably a horrifying number of small businesses with no backup systems either... - I guess my point is that even where it's an improvement, it's not like you should do away with backup.)
Re: Laptops with no OS.
PC Specialist sell Clevos with option of no OS.
True, that's probably not a "big name manufacturer", but then I think the answer there is that big names care more about what sells the most, and most people want to buy with an OS. But if you want a no-OS machine, vote with your wallet :)
Re: bestseller
It's an odd world. A year or two ago, everyone said "Why bother with a Chromebook, you can get a Windows/Linux netbook that does all the Google webstuff, and more". Now it's "Oh wait, no one sells netbooks, but you can get a Chromebook".
(Actually though, you can still get low end cheap laptops - not as portable, but neither is this 14" Chromebook; and more powerful than netbooks. I'm not sure there are any Chromebooks as small as the 10" netbooks? Plus it helps that the latest generation of Chromebooks are significantly cheaper, putting them at the lowest end of laptop costs.)
Samsung mocks Apple lawsuit in SuperBowl teaser ad
Re: Brand loyalty
Quite. I'm thoroughly confused how, in a debate about Samsung vs Apple phones, people argue for the latter by saying "But Samsung users have more freedom to move to other makes of phones".
(I've noticed this generally with Apple debates. It doesn't matter what products one personally like, it just seems odd when one group of people aren't even arguing the debate by the same rules - it's like one set of people saying they prefer chocolate ice cream because it tastes better, and another saying they don't like chocolate because it costs less, there are lots of varieties to choose from, you can eat it from any make of bowl, and the chocolate factory doesn't make as much money as apple farms. It's like, yes but how on earth is any of that a relevant argument?)
Aside from being untrue (Samsung outsell Apple even at only the high end; plus many Apple sales are made up of cheap products, like the older phones still on sale, not to mention other areas like mp3 players), I find this argument odd anyway. The cost of a phone is just as much a part of the product - any old fool can produce something if cost is no object, but delivering it at a cost that people buy is what takes the skill.
I mean, you might as well say "Most people would buy Apple, but buy Samsung as they make better phones". It's absurd to handwave away the latter part as an excuse, and spin it as Apple being better. Rather, the fact that Samsung deliver to customers here means it's they that have done better. The fact that a hypothetical Apple might do better in a hypothetical world where the phones were better or they weren't so expensive is neither here nor there.
Android gets tipsy on Wine, runs WINDOWS apps
Re: @ Mark
Yes, I'm talking about GNU/Linux - Android may be "Linux" in the sense of using the kernel, but that helps little when trying to port with the OS that-people-usually-refer-to-as "Linux" (maybe RMS was right that we should call it "GNU/Linux" after all...)
Is it possible to run GNU/Linux software on Android by installing libraries?
Re: Strangely relevant
On a similar note, *Linux* on Android would be good too - as in, running anything that works on GNU/Linux.
Porting Windows to Linux often isn't that hard with languages like C or C++, and libraries like SDL, but like you say, I've hit problems trying to port to Android. My route has been to use Qt (the Android port is unofficial and in beta, but still seems a lot more supported and user friendly than SDL on Android), but it would be so much easier just to recompile a Linux version...
Samsung: Never mind Steve Jobs, let's snap off a piece of stylus biz
Re: Apple didn't include a stylus... but
The problem is that styluses for capacitive screens tend to be bigger things with less precision. This is distinct to the pens now being seen in Galaxy Android products (as well as various Windows 8 tablets) that have finer points again (as well as also being pressure sensitive, I believe).
And it wasn't just the lack of choice (after all, that was a problem with every capacitive screen until recently), but the claim that styluses were wrong, or the media view that branded any device with a stylus as "old fashioned".
Re: Round and round....
I agree - I'd add that another useful thing about resistive screens (which weren't actually that bad really - my resistive Nokia 5800 was fine with finger, and I think the difference between "no touch screen" and "touch screen" is far bigger than resistive vs capacitive, especially when you consider the former had some advantages of their own) was being able to use with gloves. I was interested to note Nokia advertising the Lumia 920 as having a capacitive screen that's sensitive enough to work with gloves, so I hope we'll get this feature back too.
It's annoying that the myth of styluses being bad still hangs over us, and Samsung should be congratulated for taking the steps to challenge this. I hope we'll see their S Pen in more mainstream smaller devices like their Galaxy S series.
Netbooks were a GOOD thing and we threw them under a bus
Re: Come back Netbook
I do wonder if touch-only tablets will follow a similar line to netbooks.
Despite all the doom and gloom, netbooks were once selling well, and IIRC at one time made a significant proportion of all PC sales. I'm sure if people had done tablet-style extrapolations, they'd have concluded that everyone would be using netbooks by 2012. But no, what happened is the market reached saturation - everyone who wanted one, had one, and there was no draw to convince additional people to buy them.
With tablets, we see massive growth, and the media extrapolate that to say how we'll all be using tablets in 2016. But at some point, we may hit the point where everyone who wants one has one, and sales start getting eaten by the next thing that comes along (e.g., who'll need a tablet, when you can just fold open your flexible-display Samsung S6 smartphone?)
Netbooks also had the price plummet so manufacturers made little profit, and so wanted to move elsewhere, like conventional laptops, high end ultrabooks, or tablets. Tablets started off as high priced, but since last year, we've seen the start of the price war.
And some people got annoyed with netbooks when they weren't as powerful as they thought; similarly you have people buying tablets, then realising they can't do as much as they thought, or wondering what to actually do with them.
Re: Ahhh, I mourn the NetBooks passing
But that doesn't fulfil: "Intel still doesn't grok that "all-day battery life" means a minimum of eight functional hours, realistically 12."
Which applies to the Apple Air just as much as any other Intel Core device.
But this is the question - how do Intel Core and Intel Atom compare on battery life? I went for an Atom netbook rather than Intel Core ultra-portable not just for cost, but also I was worried about the battery life not being as good, but since then, I've seen some claims that Intel Core has become a lot better. Part of the problem is that you can't really compare manufacturer estimates, as some quote "best possible maximum, with minimum brightness, sitting idle", whilst others quote say, how long it can play a movie for. Anyone seen any benchmarks that fairly compare the two kinds of processor?
If Intel Core is almost as good these days, then all the Ultrabooks and other Intel Core ultra-portables are possible options as netbook replacements, albeit not as cheap.
Re: I want a new netbook
"since it had windows installed, it could only run more than a couple of hours by crippling performance"
If think it's more the netbook than the OS to blame. My Windows Samsung netbook easily gets about 8 hours of use.
Re: I want a new netbook
I think that's the thing though - if you're okay with ARM, there are plenty of options that are much closer to being netbook replacements (in terms of size, battery life), whether it's a Chromebook, ASUS Transformer, or even the various Windows RT hybrids appearing. But even with Chromebooks, the x86 versions seem to be Intel Core or Celeron, putting them more in line with more conventional 11" laptops (or "ultrabooks") than netbook replacements.
(Oddly, I'm sure the earlier generations of Chromebooks did use Atom, but they were more expensive than netbooks, and more like 12" IIRC.)
Re: I want a new netbook
Comparing the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity to the upcoming ASUS x86 hybrids, just frustrates me.
The Transformer Infinity is 10.1", and even has better-than-full-HD 1920x1200, but I'd rather have x86 - like you, I want to run something more than just Android. But their upcoming x86 options seem to include:
Transformer Book - 13.3" (and it's i7, which whilst powerful, may not be as good as a netbook on battery life, though putting extra battery in the keyboard dock may offset this - but at that size, not to mention the likely cost, it's not really a netbook replacement).
Zenbook - Another 13.3" i7 machine.
Vivobook - Has an 11.6" option, 1366x768, not sure what the battery life would be like.
VivoTab - Perhaps the closest option, with 11.6", Atom, and a whopping 19 hours battery life with the keyboard dock. 1366x768.
So I think the VivoTab is a possible netbook replacement, but I'm left wondering, if they can produce a 10" machine with 1920x1200, why is their x86 11" offering stuck at 1366x768? As you say, it's this bizarre idea that people want to run mobile phone/tablet on-app-at-a-time OSs at super high resolutions, and desktop windowed operating systems at lower resolutions. Maybe it's because they think people are more likely to watch movies with an Android device, but then, it's also odd that the x86 Windows machine gets 16:9 ratio, with the ARM machine getting the more productivity friendly 16:10.
Atom still lives on
Another Me too!
Actually, it's worth noting that Atom still lives on, in the form of Clover Trail. It's just that it's not clear whether there will be basic Atom-based laptops, all the devices I've seen so far are hybrids (which isn't necessarily a bad thing - they're still ultra-portable, and have keyboards - but it's also more costly if you don't have any interest in that). Another annoyance is that 11" now seems to be a minimum for any device with a keyboard. E.g., something like http://www.asus.com/vivo/en/vivoTab.htm - with its whopping 19 hour battery life(!) - looks like it would serve well as a netbook-successor, but it does mean 11" minimum (and the extra cost is unfortunately to people who just want a basic laptop).
It hasn't helped the way that the media (and many geeks) slagged off Atom and netbooks as being "slow", when they're still good enough for many tasks, and as good as ARM. Like ARM, they may not be anywhere as near as fast as Intel Core processors, but have the better battery life (and lower cost).
Also "netbook" seemed to get stuck as "1024x600 with 1GB RAM" (despite the fact that they can all be upgraded cheaply to 2GB, which really helps with Windows 7). I'm more than happy to see that spec die. On the one hand, I'm glad to see a wide range of choice of Atom based machines with better specs now finally appearing; on the other hand, it seems odd if absolutely no one decides to make a pure Atom based laptop rather than a hybrid; or 10" rather than 11" minimum.
Microsoft dev tools to add Linux-style source code versioning
It's evil of MS, because they don't selflessly contribute to competing platforms?
"since the company is benefiting from the very hard work of possibly hundreds of developers"
Sorry, one of the fundamental points of Free and Open Source is that people are free to use it. There are of course those who believe that you should give something back - that's what copyleft licences are for, like the GPL. But if you release under something like BSD, you're saying that you want people to have the freedom to use it *and not give something back*.
Personally this is why I usually release under the GPL. But then you get BSD advocates claiming that the BSD is better because it's "more free" - then they whine and complain when people actually make use of that extra freedom(!) I've seen exactly the same nonsense even when BSD code was included in GPL code - apparently that was selfish too, because the GPL people should have released under BSD.
It's ignorant and stupid to support a company because they don't support Linux? Sorry, no. I like Linux too, but I'm not expecting companies to selflessly support their competition, nor do I care when companies make use of software, that was released under a licence for that very purpose.
They're not the ones trying to destroy Open Source platforms with software patents.

Apple still top for slab-fondlers despite FLOOD of Xmas tablets
Re: WTF?
Because Apple are the ones who claimed unecessarily high "pixel density" the selling point of the ipad. If we agree it's not important, then there are plenty of other tablets to consider too (e.g., Galaxy Note 10.1).
Re: Why the obsession with market share
Regarding share, yes. Everyone was obsessed when Nokia was losing market share, despite increasing sales, too. And this goes for everyone - Samsung, ASUS, even MS, are all making money from extra sales, who cares what the share is. Indeed, the doom and gloom about PCs is stupid, when tablets are being made by PC companies anyway, so it's not like they're losing out.
"Of course it has a capacitive touch screen so you'd better get out that stylus!"
Eh? A capacitive screen usually can't be used with a stylus. And neither resistive nor capacitive screens require a stylus. And I'm not sure a £50 tablet is useless - sure, some have low spec like 512MB RAM, but so did an original ipad.
Re: @messele
Interestingly enough, this was the same situation that Nokia went through for years - falling share, but still number one, and actually increasing sales. In some cases, their sales were increasing faster than other platforms in absolute numbers.
Of course, the media focused on "falling market share" all the years it was Nokia, but you can bet they'll focus on "increasing sales" when it's Apple...
Android number one, Apple share sliding
So wait, unless Windows RT has done better than expected in its first quarter, it seems clear that Android is now number one in tablets as well as phones. But this point, and the actual share, is completely absent from the article, instead trying to spin it as being all about Apple!
I remember how for years the media painted doom and gloom about Nokia, because their market share was falling, and the fact that they were still number one (by company _and_ platform), or their sales were _increasing_, was hardly ever mentioned, with readers misled that Nokia were behind Apple, or that their sales were falling (just see the first comment above, from someone who confuses change in market share, with change in sales).
Now Apple faces the same situation as Nokia, yet this time, the media harp on about how they're still number one (by company, not platform), and sales are increasing, with the drop in market share a mere footnote. Bias, much?
What will happen when Apple are no longer the number one company in non-phone tablets? If phones are anything to go by, it'll be "But, the ipad is still the single best selling device". And when they no longer get that, it'll be "But, but, that was only because the ipad sales got split between ipad 4S and ipad 5!"
(Apple got vast amounts of media coverage even before the first ipad was announced - remember istale? Most people don't even know alternatives exist, but thankfully now that's slowly starting to change. Hell, even now, every other bloody advert is giving free Appleverts; Sky's "Fisherman with ipads" advert plays as I type.)
Official: Fandroids are smarter/tighter* than iPhone fanbois
Not sure if I'm misreading but... 60% of 20% (at best) of the market, i.e., 12% of the market. For Android, 54% of 75% of the market, i.e., 40.5% of the market. So actually, there's still more in overall numbers of Android users with more money. (Worth considering if you're an application developer who still believes it's iphone users spending more.)
(Plus even if we ignore the different sizes of the market, 54% and 60% aren't that different, the first two paragraphs imply there's a massive difference, and the actual relevant figure for Android only given later on.)
Surface left on shelves as world+dog slurps up small slates
Re: Hafl a Million?
It's not like this is fruit 'n' veg. Worst case, even with flat growth this quarter, they just pause production and sell the rest in time. Not sure what profit they make per device, but even at just £10 a device - well, let's just say that I wish my so-called "failures" net me £10 million.
Android now ahead?
To be fair, it's all relative - I don't recall the Register moaning about ASUS's results in Q4 2011 when they sold far less than a million. (Or consider 2007, when Apple had a measly 3.3 million over 6 months, which for phones is abysmal.) Typically new platforms (which Windows RT is) start small, the question is growth. And however much or little each sells, it's good to have choice (I'm sure Clevo don't sell that many, but that doesn't stop me liking my Clevo laptop). If people are preferring smaller tablets, we should be noting how Apple got it wrong too.
And hang on - what's Android's share? If Windows RT is small, and IOS at 43%, I make that Android now leading in non-phone tablets too.
Rather depressing to see once again, the media do the trick of stop reporting by OS, and switch to reporting by company, just to suit what makes Apple look best.
Oh, and shouldn't growth be given in change in percentage (or perhaps absolute increase in sales), and not relative growth? I mean, MS are first with infinite growth, by that measure...
US retail kingpins swoon: Nobody bonks like Google does

But the easier thing there isn't the contactless aspect, but the dropping of the requirement for entering a pin (which obviously has the trade-off of security).

Greedy Apple told it can't triple Samsung's $1bn patent payout

Re: Hmm...
I think it's way too early to talk about Google TV failing. I suspect that smart TV services will become mainstream by being standard in TVs (as is already happening - any non-low-end TV you buy today will be "smart" in some way), so the question for Google TV is whether it can be adopted by manufacturers. E.g., LG started introducing Google-based TVs in the US, and I believe plans to expand that this year.

Remedy for MRSA Boils
by Norma
June 2008
Mix in a little dish some activated charcoal powder, turmeric powder, few drops of tea tree oil and a white willow bark capsule. This kills the bacteria and takes away the pain while the charcoal draws it out of the system. Rub on sore until healed. This has worked successfully on numerous boils. It also helps to take turmeric, activated charcoal, and white willow bark capsules internally as that will fight the toxins released inside the body.

First of all I just wanted to thank you for sending my order so fast!!! I did purchase the Herbs Made Simple DVD from the No Greater Joy website which is how I found out about this website. I can't wait for my Dr. Cinnamon Tea & Rise & Shine Tea that I ordered!!
I've started watching the video and I was SO surprised about the garlic poultice!!! I actually said out loud in my house, "You mean to tell me that I have a natural decongestant in my house that has more uses than spaghetti sauce & cooking?! And all I need is garlic cloves, cheese cloth, & hot water?!" Yep, made me want to stomp my foot when I realized how much money I have wasted purchasing cold medications.
I really appreciate this because my son is 3 and a lot of the over the counter medications are not made for someone his age & weight. I would rather give him something that will not harm him, but will help him at the same time.
THANK YOU Shoshanna!!!! You, your mother and your family have truly been blessed with some precious gifts and I thank you for sharing them with us!!
Did You Know?
After childbirth, a mama's body is gearing up for breastfeeding. It also begins a cleansing process as chemicals, hormones, and nutrients are all adjusting to proper levels as before the pregnancy. The liver, kidneys, colon, etc. are all very involved in this cleansing. Herbs that aid in this process are known as liver cleansers and as blood purifiers. Amazingly enough, many of the liver cleansers and blood purifiers also promote milk production. Some of these herbs are: Fennel, Fenugreek, Blessed Thistle, and Dandelion. Most of us may not see the relation between breastfeeding and cleansing. However, God provided the herbs that aid the new mother to get both jobs done. The Mama's Milk Tea recipe was contributed by one of our readers, and includes herbs for after birth.
