Apple MacBook Air 11in Core i5 notebook
The battery, presumably
Though 18 months may be a little bit of artistic licence. If Google is to be believed, the Airs ship with a lithium polymer battery, which normally means about 300 charge cycles. If you do a complete charge slightly more often than every other day then you get 18 months.
Samsung preps anti-iPhone 5 lawsuit before it's even out
Apple didn't start it, they just jumped in with unprecedented vigour. As far as I can make out, Nokia started it by suing Apple in 2009. Apple have since gone after HTC (starting in 2010) and Samsung (this year), neither company having previously had much of an interest in legal pursuits.
My phone's an iPhone, but I'm with Samsung on this one. I'm a turn the other cheek person in any situation with serious consequences, but I doubt this is anything more than rounding errors on the Samsung and Apple books, so letting Apple know that it can't bully everyone into submission feels like the right way forward.
How Apple's Lion won't let you trash documents
You're quite right — no matter how much someone might want to buy a new Mac with 10.6 or earlier on it, nobody is able to supply that. So customers can't react to Lion in the same way as many reacted to Vista. However it's still worth drawing a distinction because most of the Vista story was customer reaction.
Not a Vista for one important reason...
... its perceived faults haven't dented its sales figures. I wouldn't consider the comparison to be appropriate if the company doesn't see any response to its decisions.
This isn't a way of protecting you from yourself
It's a versioning system, tacked on in such a way that the writer has found it to have at least one significant flaw. Apple's intention isn't to save you from accidental deletion, it's to retain extra historical information much like a common or garden source control repository. They just seem to have done a less than spectacular job of the implementation.
Schoolkids learn coding at GCSE level in curriculum trial
@Arnold Liberman
I can tell you that Pascal (via Turbo Pascal, anachronistically) was still on the roster for Computer Science A-Level when I left sixth form in 1999. I don't recall any programming cropping up at GCSE level or earlier but there weren't any sort of computer-related courses at my school so that may not be typical.
At a guess, A-Level changes probably happened in or around the transition to fully separated AS and A2 curricula — around 2000.
Google plan to kill Javascript with Dart, fight off Apple
It's the design pattern problem too
Though I guess if there were a standard library, that would set the tone for design patterns. So solving the one would solve the other.
Battery deal points to thinner, lighter iPad 3
It's because Apple aren't going to tell us
Apple are a prominent technology company, who are sometimes the first to succeed commercially in a field. They sell only about a dozen different products in total, so changes to any product are newsworthy. However they don't generally announce their plans in advance, so there's often speculation. Sites like El Reg like to carry stories that their readers will find interesting so they like to provide information that allows their readers to speculate.
So: gussying is caused by the official information vacuum.
Some companies don't adopt the same tactic because they're more connected to outside ecosystems, making it more likely that people would just feed on information supplied by another company instead and forget about them.
If you look at the phenomenon of vapourware you'll see that some companies have played exactly the other way — releasing information about products that they never launch, sometimes maliciously.
So it's definitely not true that everybody else would play it like Apple if they could, even if it is true that Apple's ability to get free publicity for doing absolutely nothing is enviable.
HP Pre 3 webOS smartphone
More medium-termism
The original Pre launched in mid-2009, so WebOS has had more than two years to fail to reach a critical mass. Or nine quarters if you prefer to look at it that way.
It's sad and unfair that it's turned out like this, but compared to the Microsoft Kin or even to less extreme tech failures like the 3DO, the PowerMac G4 Cube or Google Wave it was actually given a reasonably decent amount of time to try.
Galaxy Tab 7.7 pulled from IFA after new Apple moves
The Amazon tablet is the thing
Samsung, Motorola and the other big names have managed to get serious traction for Android in the mobile phone space because people already know they need a phone and Android handsets are very competitive. Conversely I think they're doing much more poorly with tablets because you have specifically to want one (because carriers aren't generally subsidising them so you're not very close to getting one either way) and people don't necessarily think they want a tablet. Apple's marketing machine here is a benefit because it isn't saying "you want us not them" so much as "here's a new type of thing you want".
I think Amazon are going to distinguish themselves by significantly reducing the price, by adapting a more sophisticated marketing drive than "you know those tablet things that Apple are on about, well we make one too you know" and by really promoting the thing through the single most popular storefront in the world today.
In a year it'll be Apple v Amazon. And supposing Amazon have forked Android and are paying Google nothing, they have neither the interest nor the legal right to attach the Android brand to their tablet so I don't foresee much of a halo effect.
Elgato readies iPad 2 TV tuner dongle
Not only do I agree, but taking your thought further based on my actual usage I can't think of an occasion when the catch-up services aren't enough for me. I'm much more likely to spend money on any of the hundreds of devices that could put those on my [antiquated] TV than on getting broadcast television onto my digital devices.
Windows 8 ribbon entangles Microsoft
I prefer Office to OpenOffice/LibreOffice because the ribbon allows me to navigate by shape. The traditional approach to toolbars long ago became a large grid of tiny icons that you have to inspect one by one. The pull-down-but-with-graphics approach of the Ribbon is much easier because the different sizing and positioning of buttons lets you approach the problem spatially, so that much more of it is innate rather than conscious.
In versions of Office long gone, I'd spent about 20 minutes after install just disabling toolbars and pointless toolbar icons to get to a state where navigation wasn't a chore. The old pull downs that hide unused features are actually a problem rather than a solution since every time you use one of the features you otherwise ignore for maybe 95% of the time the positioning of items is changed. So your navigation is off again.
And the standard rules of requiring user customisation apply: 90% aren't going to bother, you're going to be hampered every time you use anybody else's machine and you're going to spend a ridiculous amount of time syncing your various machines.
Samsung 'mulls bid for' HP's orphaned webOS
Samsung don't see it how the bloggers see it
While a lot of the web paints the mobile OS space as a fight to the death, Samsung sees the OS as merely another component. To that end they've pursued a strategy of not allowing themselves to become dependent on any single supplier, so as to mitigate against risk. Their problem is that Bada is consciously designed to bring smart phone functionality to the feature phone tier and presents a relatively painful environment for developers as a result — nothing as low as the Symbian level but quite a few pegs down from the Java or C# end of the spectrum. If they were to buy or to licence WebOS, I imagine it'd be to provide greater diversity for their high end phones.
That said, like you I'm highly sceptical. Regardless of it's qualities, WebOS is a platform with a very poor track record in the market. I guess the question is whether Samsung feel both sufficiently emboldened and sufficiently restrained by Bada.
Stephen on Steve: The most important man on Earth
Because we're already more than half way to forgetting Bill Gates?
Steve Jobs was one of the pioneers, on the front line during the early period when people were first pushing the radical idea that computers should be usable by anyone and sold to everyone. Whether you think he was unique or not, he was a suitably prominent member of a sufficiently small number of people that his position in history — like those of Gates, Sir Clive, Jack Tramiel and several others — is secure.
Mac Lion blindly accepts any LDAP password
No, doesn't sounds like that
My reading was that LDAP is used as the login mechanism for machines; if you can supply suitable credentials then you can get to a desktop. That bit all works correctly, with the LDAP server giving a verdict.
OS X is then broken because if you get to another prompt that requires a machine password, like waking from sleep or performing a superuser operation if your user is set to have access to superuser stuff on that machine, it fails to verify with LDAP and just accepts whatever you type in. Meanwhile the user with actual credentials has already logged in, already gaining access to whatever else one keeps on an LDAP server.
'Apple is not going to change,' new boss says
You're no lord
You are Liam Byrne MP and I claim my five pounds.
News just in...
"Man who wants to make Apple sound uninventive only able to supply short list of Apple inventions"
I think Apple are more innovative than the market average but so are several others. In that list I'd include some of their direct competitors, such as Google and Microsoft.
If I had to think of a quality that makes Apple unique I'd be much more likely to pick uncompromising. I think that's the quality that makes their products either brilliant or worthless, depending on which side of the debate you're on.
Samsung's iOS rival gets multitasking and HTML5
The SDK is awful though
For those that haven't experienced it, it's Eclipse based but available for Windows only, everything is done in C++ using vendor-specific memory management rules, an an odd proprietary alternative to STL (so you're supposed to use Samsung's custom classes for strings, arrays, hash maps, etc) and some weird usage conventions, such as two-stage constructors (ie, you're not meant to use the normal C++ constructor to do any construction, because someone at Samsung has decreed that exceptions are too costly to the processor).
The backstory, that Bada was designed and used purely internally for phones from 2004 onward, then opened up as best as it could be, is very credible.
Apple wins (another) Samsung Android injunction in EU
@AC: check the article
"A Dutch court has warmed the hearts of Apple's patent Nazis, issuing a preliminary injunction against the sale of three Samsung Android phones"
This is a preliminary decision, just like that in the Galaxy Tab case. So the decisions made here are preliminary, exactly as in the Galaxy Tab case.
@EyeCU: overstating your case
I think that in any argument like this, the concept of an invention becomes so debatable that you end up thinking nobody invented anything at any point.
For example, it's fact that Apple designed the Firewire port. But that's clearly just a development of the SCSI line of thought. Though on the other side, USB conceptually looks a lot like ADB, so should we award Apple credit for that?
How about the canvas tag? OpenCL? Pull-down menus? The modern laptop form? The Clang compiler front end? The scroll wheel?
I disagree, but only slightly
If Apple were innovative, they would worry about things like this because patents exist to allow people who innovate to realise the benefit of their new methods, ideas or products.
The issues here are more whether the type of ideas in this particular case should be ownable and, if so, whether Apple owns them.
I end up being a moderate. The iPad's look shouldn't be a protectable form factor. Similarly, rounded icons are not some attempt at passing off. But some of the concepts that FingerWorks spent real money and time developing should be protectable (by Apple now by way of purchase) in a suitably constrained short term that I accept may already have passed.
Quickest way to spot a troll: look for anyone asserting simultaneously that Apple shouldn't have the patents because they've "stolen" all their ideas and Samsung should be in the clear because they haven't "stolen" anything.
@AC: not quite that simple
It's pretty much a matter of record that Android's general format was heavily inspired by iOS, comparing the handsets demoed and photographed before the iPhone was announced and those afterwards.
That said, Google's position has almost always one contrary to restrictions on intellectual property so the fact that you can draw a line from the iPhone to Android for some features isn't an issue. There's no "well what about Google?" line to be taken here. I think the poster's point is that it is hypocritical for Apple simultaneously to borrow ideas from the competition and to try legally to block the competition from borrowing anything in return. Conversely it is not hypocritical for Google to borrow ideas from the competition and then not to kick up a fuss if ideas are borrowed back.
They weren't thrown out
This is an interim judgment; the full case still has to be decided on the merits, so all of Apple's original claims are still part of the suit and will still be argued in front of the court.
To put it another way: the court hasn't told Apple that they're wrong, just that they're not sufficiently obviously right and that they'll return to the topic in the future.
Steve Jobs resigns as Apple CEO
But he was forced out last time
So, last time, someone was determined to do something quite distinct from Jobs' ideas. This time I'd expect the company to try to continue to pursue exactly what Steve would have pursued.
Just how will Apple restrict device-ID snooping in iOS 5?
Slightly better than that
Screenshots on other rumour sites indicate that Apple's suggested replacement is to generate a UUID (aka a GUID or IID) and store that in the user defaults (Apple's anachronistically named store of user preferences, on account of their main purpose in NextStep being to specify the default parameters of new documents).
User defaults are synchronised across devices, so a developer gets to track a single ownership of their application across multiple devices.
Each iPhone will still have a UDID, too
It's just that, like the ESN is now, at some point it won't be accessible to applications. So it can't be used for tracking. So that's a privacy advancement.
Nervous Samsung seeks Android Plan F. Or G, H ....
Absolutely, with caveats
It's a preliminary / temporary injunction, awarded in Germany and prima facie restrained Samsung from sale everywhere in the EU apart from the Netherlands but questions of jurisdiction have led to it being enforceable only in Germany at least until the next court date.
I haven't read the judgment myself and have seen an incredible stream of inaccurate reporting — the one that most sticks in the memory being a blog that wondered why a Dusseldorf court would think it can rule for the entire EU when Germany doesn't even currently hold the EU presidency — but I think the issue of contention is that while most of the EU has signed up for various unified intellectual property measures that would allow a final judgment to be enforced via local courts, nobody's sure where that leaves preliminary injunctions.
Preliminary injunctions tend to be a matter of process with no real investigation into merits, so that's fair. If a claimant applies and the court decides that, supposing everything they allege is true (ie, they get the benefit of the doubt with no real investigation into the dispute) then they have a real prospect of winning the case, they'll grant interim relief. And the EU agreements seek to make rulings enforceable, rather than unifying procedure.
Assuming German courts use that sort of test then it's not surprising Apple were granted relief and it's a massive gamble. If they lose in court they would likely end up owing Samsung for all economic losses incurred.
Coders breathe Android into dead HP fondleslab
I think the 'underpowered' label is a response to...
... the news that surfaced over the weekend, on The Next Web, that "HP tested webOS on an iPad. It ran over twice as fast as the TouchPad" and, in the same story:
"With a focus on web technologies, webOS could be deployed in the iPad's Mobile Safari browser as a web-app; this produced similar results, with it running many times faster in the browser than it did on the TouchPad."
The story refers to a current generation iPad 2 and claims that HP had the TouchPad hardware fully designed before they bought Palm, so "the TouchPad was a two-year old piece of hardware that the webOS team equipped with their tablet-friendly platform".
The reference cited is only "a source close to the subject" and makes it clear that the don't know what sort of testing produced those metrics in an appended update. So the story should be taken with a pinch of salt, but if true then it would justify calling the TouchPad underpowered given that it was priced at the same sort of level as the iPad 2.
Windows Phone may be cheaper than Android - Inq boss
Cutting FAT32 would be a problem
Assuming I've not fallen for mere trolling, one of the things vocal Android proponents like is being able to plug their phone into the computer and manually copy music, movies, etc to it. FAT32 is really the only filing system that makes that easy and realistic across pretty much every USB sporting computer out there.
That being said, given that they use FAT32, properly following the DCIM spec would be nice. It's a bit pointless using a non-free standard and then improperly implementing a free standard on top of it.
iPhone 5 to include Japanese earthquake warning system
It is a fair comment, but...
... apps can't listen for SMSs because apps have no access to your SMS stream, Apple's decision being that customers don't want that and Apple's app store being such that they can block any applications that go through unofficial channels.
However, apps can listen for a message from an external server without being active and in the foreground, that being how things like Skype work. There are some restrictions on that which I won't bore you with in detail, but generally speaking you give app-by-app permission to alert you to notifications pushed by an external server and Apple will allow your app to respond if it fits into a permitted use case. Otherwise you just get the notification on screen, possibly with a sound effect, and the app doesn't get any CPU time whatsoever unless the user allows it.
I guess because your question leads to a discussion of the walled garden it was unfairly mistaken for a troll.
Apple, HTC trim phone forecasts as markets tank
@Steve: a good rant with some valid points, but ignores the facts
HTC and Apple have several years of experience of selling handsets that are much like the handsets of a year ago. They put in their initial component orders based on that experience. In the wake of financial market turmoil they've both suddenly reduced their component orders.
Since we're talking about the two companies having changed their orders suddenly, the economy is likely to be the sole factor.
Googlola's closed source Android temptation
I hate to say it...
... but per the linked article, they defined 'platform' quite widely and seem to have opened the net to software strongly related to mobile platforms, hence compared Android to Eclipse, the Linux kernel, MeeGo, Firefox, Qt, Symbian (when it was open), and WebKit.
Why do I hate to say it? Because that imports a Google v Apple angle. Maybe if we keep that bit quiet we can still have a sensible discussion?
David May, parallel processing pioneer
Any recommended reading?
The article shows 'A Tutorial Introduction to Occam Programming' — as someone who's naturally curious and likes books they can hold, is that a good book to learn about Transputer's approach to parallelism and the Occam language? If I'm going to buy just a single book, is there anything else better? I guess I'm asking for the Occam equivalent of the Smalltalk blue book.
HP chief bows to Jobsian cult
Apotheker didn't purchase Palm
He's been CEO at GP since September last year, having moved over from SAP. Palm were acquired by HP in July last year.
id Software Wolfenstein 3D
Insert obligatory Midi Maze reference here?
And Faceball 2000 was doing first person shooting on the Gameboy before Wolfenstein 3d came along — you can't get much more mainstream than that.
I think it's Wolfenstein that inspired most of the subsequent games though.
Piles of unshiftable HP fondle-slabs choke Best Buy
Hopefully this isn't the end
Though I may be investing a little more hope than is realistic. It'd be interesting to read a postmortem if HP do either kill it or restrict it to being the fast boot option on laptops, a use I think they've hinted at before. I'm aware of negative stories about build quality, the iTunes syncing spat (which made both parties look bad in my opinion) and performance, but there's got to be more to the ongoing failure to find traction than those factors alone.
Android app logs keystrokes using phone movements
@famousringo: iOS should be secure though
Since it allows multitasking only by a WebOS-inspired event-based model, with a program declaring itself to be within one of a few well-defined categories. Other programs put into the background are completely suspended.
In fact, I'd assume WebOS is safe too. But I'm not as up on that as iOS and Android.
iPHONE 5 SHOCK! US Apple store 4G kit-fit snapped
Fibre to the cabinet is happening though
It's listed as "available in some areas" in the small town I grew up in, my London Zone 2 flat's exchange will be upgraded in March (which will be nice, as I currently get 3 Mbps, being more than 1.5km from the exchange), and I know they've done a similar thing in Manchester and Liverpool upgrading from the outside inward and are expecting to get to the centre of both during 2012.
Angry S Koreans mass-sue Apple over iPhone tracking
@Kristian Walsh (and the story generally)
Re: the story's "Apple had stored their iPhones' location data" and your "Apple ... collected this information about the customer without permission; and ... did not take adequate precautions to prevent it being abused."
I think the sort of wording people are using is prone to give a false impression: Apple never had the data in their possession. Their OS collected it and it remained on your handset and in your iTunes backups, potentially exposing it to malicious third parties. Nobody alleges that Apple did this on purpose so far as I can make out, but by the same token if your new-build home fell down then you'd be able to sue the builders even if they didn't do it on purpose.
I'm all for devices being built with sufficient competence not to leak information about me to others so if that's the basis on which the court awarded damages then I'm in favour of it.
Samsung's lovely illegal tablet: Why no one wants to know
@jarjarbinks: made up statistics prove nothing
The most recent survey from IDC of mobile developers - published less than two weeks ago - showed 91% "very interested" in writing iPhone apps versus 87% "very interested" in writing Android phone apps. In both cases, tablets were explicitly counted separately.
From that you conclude that Android is "way ahead" on developers? That strongly suggests a bias that it's impossible to ignore when reading the rest of your comments.
@Robert Long: no it shouldn't
That'd just be one more setting to further complicate the relevant screen and for your less technical friends to change and then claim the device is broken because everything suddenly looks different and that they have no recollection of changing anything.
Being as honest about the device as possible and expecting web site vendors not to drive away their customers sounds like a better idea to me.
Google's Moto move spells iPhone doom
I don't buy it
Despite the two competing and contradictory opinion pieces on El Reg today — claiming variously that Apple is finished or that Google wasted their money on irrelevant IP from a loss-making phone manufacturer — I think this is largely a sideshow.
The iPod showed that Apple can hold a direct-to-consumer market against a thousand competitors even when they organise under a common banner. They managed to create an aura of quality while being sufficiently competitive on price.
I think they're having a much harder time in mobile because selling to the consumer through networks is a lot more difficult when they don't want to give the networks any control. In that environment it's not surprising that manufacturers who are more willing to balance consumer experience against network demands have been able to sell in a lot more volume. Those volumes also become a benefit for all Android users, creating more interest in the top tier, unencumbered handsets.
That said, while the article is right that it's disingenuous to say that Apple are really winning the war with Android because they suck up so much of the profit in the handset arena, the fact that Google and others are also reaping significant funds doesn't seem to put Apple in a precarious position from where I'm sitting. Two segmented areas of profit are even less of a zero-sum game than most of the markets that the tech press likes to report as such.
I have to admit to still being uncertain exactly why Google have bought Motorola, given their unwillingness to get engaged in legal proceedings against their licensees to date, but I seriously doubt this spells doom for the iPhone. My expectation remains the same: that Apple will end up in more of a Mac situation than an iPod situation, profitably reaping a high-value niche.
'Major' C++ revision receives standards blessing
Competing demands, that's all
C++'s complexity is a result of the desire to create a language that can automate everything that more extreme languages supply while making it all optional and without taking one step away from the language having as close as possible to no runtime.
It's a grand unification, even while the world shows a preference for niche languages.
People don't want tablets, they want iPads
Apple's approach to applications — sandboxed and with very low permissions — should make it easy for suitable tools to spot any malware that comes along and basically prevent any propagation of trojans, which are the predominant threat everywhere nowadays. Apple have also started pushing OS updates on the desktop to eliminate malware where it crops up, suggesting they're at least taking the problem more seriously than they were.
I therefore don't expect serious malware problems on iOS.
I would imagine there may be more problems on Android because Google publish the code, meaning that you can determine what has been fixed from version to version and hence what vulnerabilities did exist previously, but a whole bunch of handset vendors then fail to pass the updates on to users. But if a real problem arises the market should be able to provide a solution because there's no walled garden, so I don't expect it'll have a major impact on Android's continuing fantastic adoption rate.
Look to Amazon would be more appropriate
They are the only potential competitors with the content and the vertical integration to match Apple — they also have an incredible platform from which to launch. If they launch then I expect them to coast into second place almost immediately and then to put up a pretty decent fight.
Not very sound reasoning
Your argument is: if you assume there's nothing wrong with the product then there's something wrong with the consumers.
I'm as surprised that Apple is staying ahead as anybody, but couldn't it just be that the glut of new tablets and the besmirching of Android's name by some very awful no-brand tablets are preventing decent tablets that make 'Android' a big part of the pitch from picking up momentum quickly?
I'll be more surprised than anyone if Apple's share still isn't significantly reduced a year from now.
iPhone 5 less than a month away
I heard the Galaxy S2 was a Motorola DynaTAC copy
You know, making the phone bigger and all.
When's the last time anyone launched an interesting phone?
Nobody in the industry has done anything particularly interesting for such a long time that I'm having difficulty building up any enthusiasm whatsoever. My predictions: things that can be quantified will see an increase, probably with the exception of battery life. That's how everybody does it.
The IBM PC is 30
Unicomp do!
Unicomp being the inheritors of the buckling spring. They still seem to be producing them, with USB variants, versions with modern Windows and Mac layouts and other arrangements.
Amazon paints the Kindle cloudy
This is pretty good though...
... because it uses the new 'HTML5' database feature, so that all your interaction is entirely within the page itself and handled invisibly by the browser. There's no manual work involved and no need to have access to and an understanding of a traditional file system. You just pin the books you want to be able to read offline and everything is done for you.
I don't actually like reading on the iPad or on any similar light-in-your-face-with-visible-pixels device, but I appreciate what Amazon have done here.

'Please no!' Reni chanted as she crashed into the space only to be greeted by carnage. As if broadsided by a bag of bricks all she crumpled under the weight, knees hitting the red stained floor as she stared in disbelief of what she saw. Time stopped and she was unsure when she started to cry but the warmth dripped down her cheeks and mingled with the dark pool. Eventually people buzzed around, masked faces blank and uncaring trying to coax her out of her state, to no avail.
The scenery eventually changed yet nothing really registered. Reni was a shell of a woman being poked and prodded, listening to distant voices drowning them out with the imaginings of her mind. Sickly it played out the events of the previous scene in gruesome detail. Crunching of bones, smell of blood and the pleadings of those who left the stains on the floor but it was the sound of her name being cried out over and over again that shot her into awareness with a cry of her own.
Warmth encircled her quickly with a hushing, soothing rush of sound. Reni gulped at air like she'd held her breath too long, body shaking in the source of that warmth. The scent told her who held her, whose grip grew tighter trying to ease her shakings. It was Tsunade who clutched her and spoke words whose meaning didn't form in Reni's mind but their sound was calming.
Slowly Reni regained herself only to break again at the realization of it all. Who called her name, who she rushed towards and who she failed to protect, it all processed at once.
Tears flowing freely she cried into the blonde's embrace "Too late…I was…" sobs breaking off any other words that might have come. A hand stroked her hair as she wept till she had none left then a pinching sensation and then nothing but blackness.
Waking Reni registered a room and knew by the white she was in the hospital. In and out her memory slipped, fuzzily unable to recall the details and hurting her head if she tried to clear them. Gai was in a chair near the bed and dozed haphazardly, his soft snores filled the room with much needed noise. It was something about this scene that seemed funny, off somehow and all of a sudden the fuzziness cleared Reni shot up with a start with breathes going uneven in panic as she tried to leave the soft cushion.
Scrambling, clawing but having no strength to succeed it just compounded her panic. Beeps and alarms shrilly sounded out and the dozing man startled awake then took hold of her. "Reni calm down!" But the words were futile and several more people crammed into the space. Roughly she was pushed back onto the bed as one pumped something into her IV and all her fight faded. With that the crowd faded and she watched Gai drag a palm across his face and resettle back into the chair as a lone nurse worked in the background.
The worry was etched into every feature of his face, aging him significantly. The tear trails and bandaged knuckles told her everything she needed to know. Everything congealed in her mind and silent tears rolled down her face and pooled in her ears. Trying to swallow the lump in her throat before dryly croaking "He's…." and at her words Gai took her hand, stroking it, shaking his head then eying the nurse before speaking softly. "I-I'm sorry Reni…." The words seemed to pain him as if something about them psychically cut the man that spoke them.
"B-but why?!" The nurse moved up, waited for a nod from Gai then pushed something else through her IV. Reni could only glare at the woman before she faded out of sight. Her attention brought back by the stroking of her hair then a chapped kiss pressed to her forehead "We will figure that out and I promise they will pay." With words like that she wondered why he lingered here with her but it was probably Tsunade's doing. Gai, like her, was in no state to handle that task of seeking them out and finding the answers they desperately sought.
Reni started to feel heavy and her eyes wouldn't stay open but she fought against it. "Too late…I was too late!" she cried out as he hushed her trying his best to usher her back to sleep but Reni refused to go. "I….failed....dad…I…" But slowly Reni lost the war and her eyes closed and stayed so as she muttered "'m sorry." then drifted off to a dreamless slumber.

|The latest version of RealNetworks' media player has several new features that will help to sate your thirst for multimedia entertainment. The player includes a browser based on Microsoft's Internet Explorer that lets you search for music and video while you enjoy what you already have. The player is also integrated with RealJukebox, which lets you arrange your MP3s in neatly organized folders. If you've used file-sharing services such as MusicCity, Morpheus, and Kazaa, you know how easy it is for your MP3 collection to become gigantic and unweildy; RealJukebox's organizing function is invaluable.
RealOne's embedded CD-burning software is the player's hidden gem. Though other CD-burning programs make you download special codecs, RealOne does not: Everything you need is included. The same goes for RealOne's expanded search feature, which makes it easier for you to locate MP3s on the Web. Like other players, RealOne gives you access to nearly any Internet radio station; it also has advanced controls, including a 10-band equalizer.
RealOne, of course, is designed to be part of a larger purpose: enticing users to subscribe to RealNetwork's SuperPass service. Not only does it let you access shows like ABCNEWS.com, CNN, and FOXSports.com, it also lets you legally download music from MusicNet, a joint venture between AOL Time Warner, Bertelsmann, and EMI Group, with access to thousands of songs.

Pretty typical Super 8. Nothing fancy but clean and comfortable. Furnishings look outdated, older style TV, but everything worked well. Bed was comfortable. Only minor complaint would be small, thin pillows. Includes fridge and microwave. Small breakfast area in lobby with typical selections. Room was quiet. I'd stay there again.

In searching the plumbing fitting aisle at Home Depot I was unable to find the quick disconnects used in the original brutus 10 design. Upon, asking an associate for help I was directed to the brass air compressor fittings. Are these what were used on the original design? Or am I missing something?
I'm sure someone else has the part numbers, but I believe McMaster Carr might be the place to look.
I was unable to find anything decent QD-wise at any local hardware stores or plumbing suppliers.
I finally got sick of it and just ordered stainless camlocks for everything from bargainfittings.com
I may end up ordering from bargain fittings, but wanted to see what price they were offered at from HD.
I would think you need hydraulic disconnects not pneumatic.

Not a great conclusion to our trip
What a **** day. That is an under statement! Part way through the trip through versailles palace, Joelene, myself and our travelling mate Danielle thought, this is ****. The crowds became just sardine like. It was seriously like being in a mosh pit. So much so, in one room we decided to hang back and let the 3 Chinese tour groups punch their way through. We waited until they had cleared as there seemed to be very few after them. As we walked through we were surrounded ...
Walking The Champs Élysées.
... have no idea why this was so hard. They honestly looked at me as if I had 2 heads. But we were asking intelligently for assistance and, really, no one could direct us. But it's validated now.... And I am very pleased. On the plus side, we checked out (approximately) where the train leaves for Amiens tomorrow. Then we were out of there. To the Louvre. Walked the courtyard. Admired the Pyramids and just the amazing buildings It is spectacular! There ...
We have arrived!
... one side and the other of the avant-cour, Mansart
constructed the stables, masterworks of architecture whose monumental
character gave a preview of those that would be built at Versailles and
Chantilly. Of these works there exists only a grotto, that served also to water the horses.
The ch�teau itself stood on ...
A tale of 3 capital cities
... was spectacular in places, especially the section from Edinburgh to the border, the coast is absolutely beautiful. At Durham, I can see why Australian cricketers are attracted to this place, stunning with a church smack in the middle with postcard views etc. Went over a couple of viaducts during the trip. Saw a dozen or so train spotters at a couple of the stations...boy they look like they take it seriously, camera's ...
J'arrive en Paris
... that is so incredible is that some of these paintings are huge. I can't imagine how an artist can take a scene from in front of them or from memory and represent it in a 50x size format, in the year 1567 ! I went through the Roman, Greek and Egyptian artifacts which was awesome. Definitely a unique museum experience for me. My only complaint is that it was soooooo hot in the museum, I'm talking about steam building up on the inside of glass ...

Moisture/humidity is more of a concern than temperature. As stated, rotate your ammo so the same round isn't being chambered. Shoot your carry ammo and replace every so often (most police depts. mandate this ever 12 or 6 mo).
Only you truly know the conditions your ammo is in. If you are finding a lot of crud around the primer, bullet discoloration, changes in the seating of the bullet, a lot of scratches on the rim from several extractions.......change it out.

My daughter and I stayed there on a trip to visit Muhlenburg College. It was very nice and easy. Breakfast was delicious.

My wife & I spent a weekend here & absolutely loved it; the room was spacious & bed so comfortable. Loved the mansion overlooking the city of Bethlehem. Bethlehem is charming & we had two terrific meals the evenings we were there. Hopefully will be back before too long!

We make an annual tradition of staying at Sayre. We stay in a different room each year because they all have their own special character. The included breakfast is top notch and the staff is very friendly. The view of the city is great and access to downtown and the casino is easy and affordable via taxi. Jansen Honberger
3.6 on November 19, 2014
It's a beautiful house and our room was very spacious. My bed was exceptionally comfortable! We enjoyed the warm fireplace in the downstairs living room, and breakfast was prepared perfectly! I would highly recommend The Sayre Mansion Inn to anyone visiting the Bethlehem area. The location is also very convenient.

2.2 on October 29, 2014
My wife and I found what we believed to be a wonderful bed and breakfast, Sayre Mansion Inn, located in Bethlehem, PA. The website has comments like "meticulously restored", "offers luxury and comfort", "beautifully restored room" and "picturesque grounds". Based on the website we thought we'd enjoy 2 romantic nights in the country gazing at the stars through the glass roof of the Conservatory room. We realize this home was built in the 1850's but we were quite disappointed once we arrived and settled in. The location and overall condition of the room was sub par at best and for $260 per night our expectations were much higher. The mansion sat on the corner of a major highway and very busy street, not the coutry side setting as depicted on the website. The room was decorated with period furniture but could have used a thorough cleaning and the electric fireplace did not work. The bathroom was spacious but lack luster and it had a shower stall was to small for the average 6' man. The floor tiles were patched in numerous areas due to water damage and the guest robes in the armoire were stained. We are acustomed to the Inn keeper/owner spending some time with the guests in the evening and at breakfast discussing the history of the home, the family that lived there and surrounding area. Altough the staff was pleasant we never encountered the owner. This facility was more like a motel with restaurant style dining. The breakfast lacked the unique recipes we usually experience at a bed and breakfast. The first night there was so loud from the traffic, police sirens, trains and people talking on the street that we didn't get much sleep. The stay was so disappointing that we chose to go home after one night. Unfortunately this is one location we will not recommend to our friends.

Chocolate Whipped Cream
Chocolate whipped cream is the best idea you've never had. We can't believe it took us this long to talk about it!
Chocolate whipped cream is the best idea you've never had. We can't believe it took us this long to talk about it!
These spiced pear mini muffins might be small, but don't underestimate these tasty bite size snacks. With tender, juicy pears and granola topping, these little muffins pack a lot of flavor into a small, whole grain bite.
Fresh Berry Tacos combine fresh berries and a honey ricotta dressing in a taco. Try them for breakfast or dessert!
Healthy Homemade Granola Bars are really something special. Great for after school, after work, with a cup of tea, or post-run, these are snacks with staying power.
This rustic bread recipe is sheer perfection. Dip it in soup, grill it up with some garlic and olive oil - the possibilities are endless.
Chicken Quinoa Salad made with pure maple syrup and delicious balsamic vinegar. Full of flavor, healthy eats perfect for summer!
Black bean wraps that are completely customizable, but made special with the addition of vegan cashew cream. We can't wait for dinner!
Jicama fries are a great twist on the traditional side dish. Lime juice and plenty of spices make them a perfect pairing with fajitas or a torta.
Fig muffins stuffed full of good stuff, like white whole wheat flour and the bright flavors of lemon and mellow honey. Breakfast just got epic.
Easy slow cooker meatballs turn into a make-ahead meal everyone will devour. Hungry kids will be all over these!

The Children's Investment Fund Management founder Christopher Hohn's wife is fighting for half of their assets in their divorce—but as of yesterday, she's fighting for half of a much smaller total.
A London appeals court rejected Jamie Cooper-Hohn's request to allow expert evidence to value TCI, which is wholly-owned by Hohn. He has said that the firm is worth only £64 million (US$108.5 million) because it would be worthless were he to walk away. Cooper-Hohn argues that the firm is worth more than £872 million (US$1.48 billion).
"The notion that the husband is really the only person who matters for the purposes of valuing the business is overstating it," Cooper-Hohn's lawyer, Martin Pointer, said. But Hohn's lawyer, Lewis Marks, shot back that his client is "the sole decision-maker in this enterprise, makes all the investment decisions and is the regulated person as far as the Financial Services Authority is concerned. Without him, there is no business."
Either way, the expert evidence would be no better than "hypothetical," the court ruled, and "some assets cannot be ascribed a critical value."
The Hohns have been married for nearly 30 years and have 13-year-old triplets. Cooper-Hohn filed for divorce two years ago; the trial is set to begin on June 30.
The split could be the most expensive in British history: The Hohns have about £770 million (US$1.3 billion) in assets—not counting TCI itself. Cooper-Hohn says she's entitled to half that; Hohn says she should get only a quarter.
The couple aren't the only ones affected by the split: TCI's namesake charity—run by Cooper-Hohn—is no longer entitled to a share of TCI's profit. That change, which became effective this year, was set in motion two years ago, at the same time that Cooper-Hohn filed for divorce. Over the past 10 years, the hedge fund has donated nearly US$2 billion to the The Children's Investment Fund Foundation.

Fab Flash: Eva Mendes For Calvin Klein Underwear
by Fashion 16 Reactions 10 Shares Print
After the success of David Beckham for Emporio Armani Underwear, Calvin Klein has gone back to its roots and named its newest celebrity underwear model: Eva Mendes.
She will follow in the footsteps of Mark Wahlberg, Hilary Swank, and Djimon Hounsou, and also be the face of a new unnamed Calvin Klein fragrance. The ads debut this Fall, and will likely feature Eva wearing little more than she did for her PETA ad.
Her appointment coincides with the launch of Seductive Comfort, a line focused on addressing intimates for women with fuller figures and bust lines. Keeping this in mind, as Calvin Klein President Tom Murry put it: "When we looked at the talent, Eva was right." And that's that.

apparently, they were going to let him out on august 10th with 2 misdemeanors but now his lawyer says that the statement made my his ex made his case look worse. she came to his house. mouthed off to him aggresively then he kicked her after she got in his face. he had threatened to slit her throat and burn the house down. he came to my house later and then was arrested the following morning. he went without any diffuculty. how long can they legally keep him? and what is the minumum and maximum charge for this crime?
There is no legal limit to how long he can be held awaiting trial, depending on why the court dates move. The standard sentence range for felony harassment, with no history, is between 1 and 3 months of jail. Misdemeanor cases can carry more or less than that, depending on the facts and the judge. All of this changes if he has prior felony history.
Your boyfriend should retain private counsel in your area.
He needs an attorney to assist him in these matters. For someone to be held a month is not unusual at all. In fact, many persons are held for upwards to six months or longer before being brought to trial.

Hi, Ray, Thanks for the response. Cynthia Abigail would be the mother of Delia, Lou, Ray and May (my grandmother)? Plus I think 2 others. Reading all this, I found out to my surprise Pineos were in Nova Scotia. And talking with a friend on Sunday who lives in Digby, NS, found out it is a very common name there. I have never been sure of the spelling of Getchel. I always thought it was Goetschel. Is it German? This is fascinating. Isn't e-mail wonderful?! Love, Virginia e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com

There are many causes of back discomfort, including certain muscle injuries. These injuries can cause negative effects to your back. This guide will give you lots of advice on back pain. For most, back pain is not a permanent situation, but it can be tough to handle.
A firm mattress is essential if you suffer from back pain. It is commonly understood that soft mattresses can be bad for backs. If you're not sure if a mattress is too soft, it probably is so purchase one that offers more support. Visit several stores to try out a good number of mattresses before you choose the one that's best for you.
When the pain appears, avoid physical activities for a couple of days to give you time to rest. If the pain goes away in those first few days, you are probably going to be fine. On the other hand, if the pain remains the same or increases, you will need to contact a doctor or chiropractor to determine the cause. Also, it's important that you do not rest too long. Resting longer than a two-day period may in fact cause the pain to get worse. Muscle atrophy may settle in.
Don't lift a box or container until you know its contents if you want to avoid hurting your back. You might not be prepared to lift what is in the box. Don't risk your back health by assuming you know how heavy something is according to the picture or label on the box.
The most common type of back discomfort is lower back discomfort, it is also the second most common reason that people have in seeing their doctor. Taking precautions in your daily life can prevent this pain from cropping up. If lower back discomfort seems so common and inevitable, it makes sense to do everything you can to prevent it.
If you are trying to treat your back pain, it is good to start by doing the basics. Sometimes, even just a few days of rest can help to ease the problem. Try taking some over the counter anti-inflammatory medication to help you with your back discomfort, some of them are naproxen, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen. Another basic remedy is to apply heat to the affected area. This can be alternated with cold pack treatments as needed.
If you have a lot of back pain, you need to make an appointment with your doctor so they can diagnose the problem. Your doctor might want to run some tests (including blood tests) and check out your medical history to look at any other factors that might be causing this pain.
If you are a new mother, you need to breastfeed the baby while you are sitting in a chair, not on the couch. If you do not maintain proper posture while breastfeeding, you may be more prone to experiencing lower back pain. You can also put a pillow or couch cushion behind your back to keep it straight, but still comfortable while you feed your baby.
While it may be hard to believe, chronic back discomfort can be eased by drinking coffee. Scientific trials have shown that coffee is an adenosine antagonist. This chemical causes you to be stiff, so if you drink caffeinated coffee, you help your muscles in your back stretch, which prevents the pain.
Find a comfortable position to sleep in. Although sleeping on the back might not be very comfortable, it's typically a great method of reducing back pain, especially if you place a heading pad underneath your body. Stay away from going to sleep on your stomach, this should be avoided at all costs.
If you have bad back pain, try eliminating or at least reducing the caffeine in your diet. It may sound surprising, but studies have found that caffeine can cause muscle inflammation and can even trigger spasms. You might be surprised by how much reducing your caffeine intake can also reduce your back discomfort.
If you have exhausted all the strategies that you are aware of to help with your back, consider seeing a chiropractor and letting him or her do an adjustment. The chiropractor will likely want to x-ray your back to determine the proper course of treatment. Gentle adjustment to your spine can work wonders.
Alternate cold and hot for back pain relief. An ice pack can be used to reduce localized pain and inflammation. The use of heat increases blood flow, relaxing your muscles and speeding up the healing process. A good heat source is a heating pad, electric blanket or warm relaxing bath. When employing any of these methods, never fall asleep.
When your muscles are warm is the best time for you to stretch them to reduce back discomfort. Following your workout routine, take the time to stretch as you cool down.
Most people are familiar with back pain. The know about it from experience, or they might be experiencing it right now. This guide has given you great tips on back pain; it is now up to you. Improve your health by getting treatment that will help your back discomfort.

We stayed here for 2 nights while we were touring Sequoia Park and King's Canyon. This place is definately an inexpensive alternative to staying in the Park, and the entrance to Sequoia is about 45 minutes away. The Comfort Inn is located on the outskirts of town by the airport but the downtown restaurants are just a short drive away. We paid a few dollars extra for one of the oversized suites and enjoyed the luxury of an extra room and 2 tvs. I especially appreciated the free internet access, and we also made use of the washer & dryer (for a modest charge). The room and furniture were in excellent condition. We did not have a minifridge and microwave during our stay because they had been removed for replacement. (A minor inconvenience but it shows, in my opinion, that the Inn is interested in maintaining good equipment.) I recomment the Comfort Inn if you plan on staying in Visalia.

Product description
Winner of the 2010 National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography How to get along with people, how to deal with violence, how to adjust to losing someone you love--such questions arise in most people's lives. They are all versions of a bigger question: how do you live? How do you do the good or honorable thing, while flourishing and feeling happy? This question obsessed Renaissance writers, none more than Michel Eyquem de Monatigne, perhaps the first truly modern individual. A nobleman, public official and wine-grower, he wrote free-roaming explorations of his thought and experience, unlike anything written before. He called them "essays," meaning "attempts" or "tries." Into them, he put whatever was in his head: his tastes in wine and food, his childhood memories, the way his dog's ears twitched when it was dreaming, as well as the appalling events of the religious civil wars raging around him. The Essays was an instant bestseller and, over four hundred years later, Montaigne's honesty and charm still draw people to him. Readers come in search of companionship, wisdom and entertainment--and in search of themselves. This book, a spirited and singular biography, relates the story of his life by way of the questions he posed and the answers he explored. It traces his bizarre upbringing, youthful career and sexual adventures, his travels, and his friendships with the scholar and poet etienne de La Boetie and with his adopted "daughter," Marie de Gournay. And we also meet his readers--who for centuries have found in Montaigne an inexhaustible source of answers to the haunting question, "how to live?"

Author information
Sarah Bakewell was a curator of early printed books at the Wellcome Library before becoming a full-time writer, publishing her highly acclaimed biographies The Smart and The English Dane. She lives in London, where she teaches creative writing at City University and catalogues rare book collections for the National Trust.
Review quote
"This charming biography shuffles incidents from Montaigne's life and essays into twenty thematic chapters...Bakewell clearly relishes the anthropological anecdotes that enliven Montaigne's work, but she handles equally well both his philosophical influences and the readers and interpreters who have guided the reception of the essays." --"The New Yorker ""Serious, engaging, and so infectiously in love with its subject that I found myself racing to finish so I could start rereading the Essays themselves...It is hard to imagine a better introduction--or reintroduction--to Montaigne than Bakewell's book." --Lorin Stein, "Harper's Magazine ""Ms. Bakewell's new book, "How to Live," is a biography, but in the form of a delightful conversation across the centuries." --"The New York Times ""So artful is Bakewell's account of [Montaigne] that even skeptical readers may well come to share her admiration." "--The New York Times Book Review " "Extraordinary...a miracle of complex, revelatory organization, for as Bakewell moves along she provides a brilliant demonstration of the alchemy of historical viewpoint." --"Boston Globe ""Well, "How to Live" is a superb book, original, engaging, thorough, ambitious, and wise." --Nick Hornby, in the November/December 2010 issue of The "Believer ""In "How to Live," an affectionate introduction to the author, Bakewell argues that, far from being a dusty old philosopher, Montaigne has never been more relevant--a 16th-century blogger, as she would have it--and so must be read, quite simply, 'in order to live'...Bakewell is a wry and intelligent guide." --"The Daily Beast " "Witty, unorthodox..."How to Live" is a history of ideas told entirely on the ground, never divorced from the people thinking them. It hews close to Montaigne's own preoccupations, especially his playful uncertainty - Bakewell is a stickler for what we can't know. ..."How to Live "is a delight..." --"The Plain Dealer "

You are just proving what he said.
Your reading comprehension issues are that bad?
No one claimed it was the one and only reason but if you actually believe what you are saying you are deluded big time.
This trolling is just pathetic at how bad it is. You can't even do a half decent job trolling. I can't imagine how much fail you are at everything else.
'NVIDIA has discovered how to contribute documentation for their hardware and provide resources to develop the open source driver' that would be the best.
As if pigs will fly and hell freezes over.
No big deal with other options such as c-ares available.

Brazil's local bonds are one of the top picks at Pacific Investment Management Co., manager of the world's largest bond fund, as the country's economic growth and higher interest rates offer "attractive" returns.
Brazil should return to the policies of former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to boost growth, tame rising consumer prices and attract foreign investment, according to Pacific Investment Management Co.
Pacific Investment Management Co.'s fund that specializes in emerging-market local currency bonds is lagging behind peers tracked by Bloomberg data while beating the index it uses to measure performance.
Pacific Investment Management Co., the world's largest active bond manager, plans to open a fixed- income fund today that will allocate money across a range of emerging-market debt, according to a person briefed on the plan.
