How Long Does Fresh Fish Keep in the Fridge?
- l
- Lila Jan 27, 2005 03:16 PM
I bought some cod on Tuesday and haven't had a chance to use it yet. Will it be ok for tonight (Thursday)?
How long can I hang onto fish once I've brought it home from the market?
Depends on how fresh it was when you got it and how cold it has been kept in your fridge. Tuesdays and Thursdays (or Fridays) are usually the days when the freshest fish is available in the market, so you have a higher chance that it was fresher than it might otherwise have been.
Smell it. Check and see how firm it is and whether it is leaking any fluid, which might be a sign of things breaking down.
In the future, you should try to buy fresh fish on the day you intend to cook it, or no earlier than the day before. Try to keep it very cold, preferably on crushed ice, for maintaining the best condition.
re: Karl S.
I am not a fish eater..Just shell fish. So, its very interesting to learn how long fresh fish can actually stay. Thanks for the info.
A couple of other points that might interest people. Look for bright red gills and very clear eyes. In the restaurant equipment business, perhaps 25 years ago, Traulsen, the top name in commercial refireration at that time, came out with a unique refrigerator to store fish...It was called a refrigerated fish file.
If you blow cold air across the surface of fresh fish, it will dry it out. That's one reason why all fish markets use bins and crushed ice. Aside from display purposes, of course.
Anyway, the fish file refrigerator uses indirect cooling that permeates the entire cavity rather than the blower fan distribution method found in normal commercial refrigerators.
this type of refrigerator also has drainage provisions and must be connected to a floor drain. There is no electric condensate pan under the unit to remove normally light condensation. This baby discarges lots of melted ice water, if you choose to fill up the drawers with ice.
This unique refrigerator allows you to put fresh fish in drawers and you can cover your fish with crushed ice as well...All inside the refrigerator. That fish can stay for days! All the top restaurants ahve this equipment - especially if they sell a lot of fresh fish.
I now believe those of you who are rich enought to have a commercial type kitchen in your home can also get one or two of these drawers as well.
re: Chuck
Re: shellfish: clams last about a week and oyster 2 or 3 weeks, so when someone gives me a bag full (it does actually happen on the east end of Long island) I stick them in water with corn meal and try to get to them by the weekend. Lobsters you have to cook live pretty much though.
I agree with everything Karl S. said. Cod shouldn't smell at all (oily fish like bluefish have a slight sea smell, but cod shouldn't smell like anything). It should also not be slimy. So if it meets that criteria, go for it.
Unlike shellfish, fin fish has a much longer life. You really don't have to cook it the day you bought it, but how long you have depends on when the fish market got it. So when I buy fish, I always ask how long I can keep it. Generally fin fish stays for 5-7 days after it was pulled out of the water. Given that it usually takes the fish market 2-3 days to get it, it leaves you another 2-3 days. This assumes ideal storage (at 32F). If you are not sure of the temperature in your fridge, it's best to sandwich the fish (right in its packaging) between two ice packs. Remember that fish markets don't get deliveries on mondays, so monday fish is always older.
Personally, I only buy fish on the day that I am going to cook it. The only way that I keep fish longer than a few hours is if I am marinating it, and even then I don't keep it longer than overnight. A dry rub keeps the fish juice inside of it better than a wet marinade. In either case, I don't use anything that stayed in the bowl after I took the fish out. I grew up on LI too, and my dad and I did a lot of fishing together. I saw a LOT of raw fish! This is another reason that I NEVER eat sushi. Phew, once you've seen inside a fish stomach you don't want to eat that fish raw (at least I don't).
Until the fish's eyes glaze over, and it smells 'fishy'. The fishy smell is a dead giveaway that it is no longer fresh.
One should always try to use fish the day you bought it. That being said it could still be fine if it was purchased at a quality shop, and stored properly. Try the "scratch and sniff test" I am assuming that you purchased fillet : examine it for firmness, smell and moistness. Reject it if has any foul odor, soft or gaping texture, or off color. Fish actually can last for longer than anyone would suspect but like any other protein exposure and temperature abuse will kill it quick.
I catch my own fish, so I have a clear idea of the shelf life of many kinds of fish. Of course, when you buy at the market you have no clear idea how old the fish is. But consider a tuna boat that has to range 600 miles from port to find fish. Would you rather have them fast freeze it, or keep it "fresh" on the 3 day return to market? Much fish is fast frozen shortly after being caught and begins its decline only after being thawed. That being said. partially thawed fish in the market is pretty fresh. When I catch my own I find it is easy to keep it fresh and odorless on ice for a week or more. The whiter the fish and the less oily it is, the longer it keeps as a rule. Mackeral and bluefish are hard to keep for very long, Cod, snapper and fresh water fish like catfish, walleye etc keep a long time on ice(7-9 days). Ice is the key. Put the fish in a bowl and set a waterproof bag of ice on it. Best if fish is wrapped.

Went down to the Phoenix convention center to investigate the Identity Ecosystem Steering Group. Lets just say some big, big big, money is being lobbied to create and mandate and biometric online I.D. for you :) One of the rooms was for an online liability insurance program. Companies were lining up to see how they could make money by offering liability insurance to people with biometric online Identifications. There were rooms that said "policy" "finance" "privacy" "implementation" and many more.

November 23, 2014
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Some city vehicles in Charleston will soon run off of propane instead of gas.
On Monday, Charleston City Council approved the purchase and installation of four propane conversion kits and tanks. Those kits would make it possible for four city fleet vehicles to run mainly on propane instead of gas.
The total cost of this project is $40,000, but officials say with the help of some grant money the city of Charleston will get the kits at no charge.
"We're going to give it a go and dip our toe into the water. The whole alternative fuel aspect and the way that seems to be going towards either LP and or compressed natural gas," Charleston City Manager David Molgaard said.
City officials say they hope to have the kits ordered and installed within the next few weeks.

Hotels with Women-Only Floors
November 4, 2014 by Scott Applebee · Leave a Comment
More women are traveling for business than ever before these days. With this increase comes a new form of travel marketing: some high-end hotels are offering floors dedicated only to women.
Some of these "no men allowed" floors even go so far as to having female staff and a female concierge serve that floor. For some hotels around the world, it's a question of safety. For others, it's a marketing tactic geared toward attracting more women. Some of these gender-specific features include:
- A focus on creature comforts that are actually sized for women, such as smaller robes, slippers, hangers, and other petite items.
- Luxury items that are seen as more appealing for women, such as yoga mats, silk clothes hangers, and white wine in the room.
- Decor that may appeal more to women, such as floral wallpapers and so on.
It sounds great, although we recognize that some people may see these single-sex floors as sexist. A recent court ruling in Denmark stated that a hotel's women-only floor was discriminatory and the hotel was forced to open its rooms to men as well. In other countries, the women-only floors have remained open for business. Similarly, a hotel in Calgary has offered up a men-only floor to complement its women-only offering.
Perhaps the main beneficiary of women-only floors is the hotel industry. These rooms generally come with a hefty price tag for all the extra amenities and security. And whether these floors are successful will, in all likelihood, be determined more by the bottom line than the courtroom. Hotels are driven by profit which means filling rooms. If these gender specific floors can't stay filled, we can't imagine they'll be kept around.
What do you think? Would you stay on a gender-specific floor? Would it be worth the extra cost? Leave a comment on our blog or Facebook page.
3 Tourist Scams to Avoid: Extreme edition
October 23, 2014 by Scott Applebee · 1 Comment
For the last few blog posts, we've looked at different travel scams and petty crimes from Lifehack.org infographic on common travel scams. We've talked about scams, pickpockets, and even identity theft. But we've saved the most outrageous scams for last. Scam artists will go to almost any length to get your money, so be on the look out for these.
1. Thrown Baby
Using pretend children is a low blow, but it happens. A woman will throw a baby, which is usually a doll so that you catch it. The woman and her accomplices will rummage through your pockets taking all they can find while you try to save the "baby."
2. Expensive Taxi Driver
If you don't know where you're going, taxi drivers may take more twists and turns than necessary to get you to your location in order to make your bill higher. I have had this happen to me. When I questioned their route they said they wanted to "avoid traffic." Make sure you're only taking licensed cabs from official taxi stands, and if possible, double-check your route on your smartphone.
3. Windshield Washers Scam
We actually see this more in the United States than in foreign countries. A homeless person, or seemingly homeless, will run up to your car at a stoplight and start washing your windows, hoping for a tip. If you don't do it, they'll yell and raise a fuss, hoping to embarrass you into paying them to stop.
We don't want you to be afraid of traveling. Rather, we want to make sure you travel smart. So please look over these possible scams, and when you travel, move confidently, say no politely, and continue moving. Avoid the situations where you might be scammed and you'll finish your vacation with everything — hopefully — still on budget and on schedule.
5 Tourist Scams to Avoid: Money Edition
October 21, 2014 by Matt Sill · Leave a Comment
For the last couple of blog posts, we've been discussing different travel scams and petty crimes found on a Lifehack.org infographic on common travel scams. In our last two posts, we've discussed pickpockets and con artists. Now let's look at how people can take your money through general theft or even identity theft.
1. The Drop and Swap
This one happens when someone is returning your change. They will drop it, pick it up, but give you less than what you should be given. They might exchange the dropped money for coins or bills that are worth less. It's important to know the currency in the places where you're traveling. Know what each bill and coin is worth, how much you are giving, and how much you should get in return.
2. The Cashier on the Phone
This is a sneaky one. The cashier will act busy on their phone, but in reality, they are taking a picture of your credit card to get your card information, which they'll use later.
3. Slow Counting
A cashier will count your money very slowly. While this may not seem like a big deal, they are doing this to see if you notice they are counting a bill twice. Count the money again yourself, once you've been given your change.
4. The Fake Takeout Menu
If a menu is slipped under your hotel door be warned! It may not be a real menu. You'll call the restaurant to place an order, only to have your credit card number stolen, and no one will show up with your food either. So now you're hungry, and significantly poorer.
5. The Fake Front Desk Call
If you ever get a call from the front desk saying there were problems with your credit card, always go down to sort out the problem. Scam artists have been known to call hotel rooms asking for credit card information, especially in the evening. Instead, they steal your credit card number and take your money. But if you go downstairs to deal with the problem, you can make sure you solve the right problem.
Have you ever been scammed on your travels? What happened? How did they do it? Leave a comment, or tell us on our Facebook page.
5 Tourist Scams to Avoid: Pickpocketing Edition
October 16, 2014 by Scott Applebee · Leave a Comment
If you've ever traveled, especially overseas, you may have run into a variety of scams and cons. In our last post, we talked about different, mostly harmless, scams you may encounter on a trip. This time, thanks to a Lifehack.org infographic on common travel scams, we're going to discuss some of the scams that involved pickpocketing.
1. Train Pickpockets
This is one of the most commonly known pickpocketing methods. Trains are often cramped and crowded. Locals will take advantage of tourists traveling with their duffels or backpacks, and rummage through them without your knowledge, or even the ability to get away from them.
2. The Punctured Tire
Rental cars are usually obviously rentals. Locals will search for them and inconspicuously puncture the tire. They will then come over offering to help. While you are busy with the flat, their accomplice will go through your trunk taking valuables.
3. The Fake Policeman
A policeman (supposedly) approaches you explaining an issue with fake money circulating around. He will demand to inspect your wallet. Once returned, you will notice it quite a bit lighter. You've been scammed.
4. The Overly Helpful Local
Cash machines and ATMs can be confusing in a different country. We suggest you just try to figure it out on your own. If a local comes over offering to help while it may seem nice, they are probably memorizing your pin number for when they swipe your wallet later. Better yet, just use a credit card whenever possible, and get the most favorable exchange rate in the first place.
5. The Charity Petition
This scam involves a group of children who often have a disability such as being deaf. They will ask you to sign a petition to help them out. While shoving paper and clipboard in your face, they will touch and grab at you. If this happens to you, you've probably been pickpocketed.
Your best line of defense is to keep your money in a special traveler's belt wallet, something that loops on your belt, but hangs inside your pants. Keep a small amount of money in your front pocket, and then pull more money out of your pouch in the restroom.
Have you ever been pickpocketed, or nearly so? What did you do? How did they do it? Leave a comment, or tell us on our Facebook page.
5 Tourist Scams to Avoid: Payment for Service Edition
October 14, 2014 by Matt Sill · Leave a Comment
People all around the world have come up with some clever ways to con tourists. Tourists are often a target due to having little knowledge of an area, the culture, and the currency. Because of this locals have created interesting ways to make you pay for something you did not want or even take.
We recently found a great infographic on Lifehack.com that showed several different tourist scams and how to avoid them. We wanted to share them with you here, over the next few days.
1. Friendship Bracelet
The friendship bracelet scam is when someone will come up to you and offer a friendship bracelet. They will try to put one on your wrist as if you're their new best friend, and want you to share in their feelings of warmth. If they succeed, they will demand payment even if you had refused in the first place, and make a scene if you refuse.
2. The Shoe Shiner
Someone will drop their shoe shining brush in front of you and begin to shine your shoe. Afterward, they'll demand payment for the big favor they did for you. This happened to me in Chicago during a visit — a shoe shiner started cleaning my shoe and then demanded I pay him. I gave him a dollar so there wasn't a hassle, and I left with one shoe shinier than the other.
3. Woman Selling Rosemary
Rosemary is supposedly a sign of friendship, so an offer of rosemary is like the friendship bracelet scam we mentioned earlier. If a woman offers you rosemary, be aware that she might try to read your fortune. After that, she'll expect to be paid for her services, and will loudly express her displeasure if you refuse.
4. A Rose for your Girlfriend
If someone were to sell you a rose in front of your girlfriend and you said no, you might have a very upset girlfriend later. Rose sellers are counting on this. The problem is that these roses are extremely overpriced. Once you touch the rose, the'll demand payment for their single rose. This scam is common at restaurants especially ones with outside seating.
5. A Free Massage
You are laying at the beach when a man or woman comes over offering to give you a massage. They may start to rub your arm to give you a "sample." No matter how long they did it, they'll expect to be paid.
In all of these examples, the scam is not that these things they do or don't have value, it's the scene that the scammer will make if you refuse payment. While you might be able to argue that the masseuse or the fortune teller didn't do anything, it's the scene they'll cause that creates the problem. It will attract unwanted attention, and may even bring in the police or anger the crowd. It's best to just say "no thank you" when approached and keep moving.
But if you get caught, hand the person a few dollars — from a small roll of bills you keep separate from your "main stash" — and move on quickly.
Have you ever seen any of these scams or fallen prey to them? How did they turn out? Let us hear from you in the comments section or on our Facebook page.
Airline Industry Putting $Millions Into New Terminals
September 18, 2014 by Scott Applebee · Leave a Comment
An airline terminal can be a relaxing place to sit for a moment, after rushing and scrambling with last minute packing. Or it can be stressful with the chaos of other travelers anxious to get home. Airlines are hoping it will be the former, making it a place where more people are willing to spend time, relax, shop, and eat. Many airports are pouring in millions, if not billions, of dollars into renovation projects.
We've talked about some of the ways airports are trying to enhance travelers' experience such as the efficiency of baggage screening and the use of wearable technology. Airports are also revamping the themselves, according to a recent USA Today article.
Examples of the grandiose projects
- San Francisco International Airport completed a $138 million project that features free wifi and even a yoga room.
- Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport's renovation features kiosks that print boarding passes and luggage tags.
- The Los Angeles International Airport remade the Tom Bradley International Terminal to let in a lot of natural light through massive windows. It also has an aluminum roof resembling ocean waves.
Enjoyment and productivity for flier
These renovations will enhance both the enjoyment and productivity for the fliers in these areas. Not only is there free wifi for everyone, but there are even work stations and additional power outlets to get work done while you're waiting. (If your airport doesn't have additional outlets, here are a few backup battery options.)
Airports are also putting more of their region's personality into their terminals, adding architectural flair, since it's the last or first place a flier will see of their city. And they're adding more and more dining options, including several local restaurants for more of that local "flavor."
Of course, some people may not appreciate the renovations, because it either means fewer flights during renovation, or more likely, you have to navigate all the construction chaos to get to your gate. Renovations also cost a lot of money, which may mean an increase in ticket prices. And finally, some fliers just don't want all the extra gadgets or bonuses, so they may not see what all the fuss is about.
But for those of us who travel a lot and sometimes feel like the airport is our second home, these improvements are much needed, much welcomed, and much appreciated. They may be inconvenient at times, but they're being done to make your flying experience more convenient and stress free.

Hotels Adapt Business Centers for Today's Traveler
September 4, 2014 by Matt Sill · Leave a Comment
As broadband gets faster, wifi is found in more places, and smartphones can do everything but walk your dog. We're seeing the world being disrupted, thanks to all this new technology. One place we're seeing it is in hotel business centers.
While it was an important hub of activity 15 years ago, it's now that lonely, empty room sitting next to your hotel lobby. There are a few desks with computers and printers. They used to be quite popular, before tablets, laptops, and smartphones sent everyone to their rooms for the night.
Hotels are realizing a change is in order for the business center. USA Today's Nancy Trejos wrote an article about different hotels are approaching the business center. Some are getting rid of theirs completely while others like having the space available if a guest needs something. Others are making hotel rooms more "business center-like" with desks, USB outlets, and reachable plugs. Hotel rooms are becoming a workplace, not just a place to sleep, and the hotels are having to adjust their business centers.
As long as a hotel accommodates the needs of their business oriented guests, they're going to earn more business versus another hotel because they recognize the needs of their target customers. When I visit a new hotel, especially on business, I quickly check the business center and my room. Is the room going to be a help or a hindrance? Will I enjoy working there, or will it be uncomfortable?
I sometimes go to the business center so I can get out of the room and into a place where I can work better. Personally, I'd like it more if a business center was like a coffee shop with a friendly, social atmosphere. I think more people would use it because it's more of what they are used to.
As hotels look to change their business centers, they need to focus on what their guests are trying to do. If they need access to a printer and fax machine, they may already have that capability, but no longer through a business center. If travelers want a light and enjoyable place to work, the business center should have several small tables and chairs so it can be more of a social setting.
Regardless of what's happening, business centers are changing as a direct result of new technology that makes traditional business centers obsolete. What are some features you would like to see in your favorite business center? What could you do without? Leave a comment below and share some of your ideas with us.

Some people love to travel and find it very relaxing. It's another adventure they can't wait to take. Other people get very stressed, and they're less interested in the journey than the destination. What if I forget something? Which gate has my flight? Did it change? Where do I get my ticket? What about security?
On of our favorite marketing authors, Seth Godin, came up with a witty list of anecdotes called "Self Assurance Checklist for the Anxious Traveler."
We wondered if some of his points may be a little far-fetched — ship your favorite pillow to your destination ahead of time — but we all know people for whom this would be a very reassuring and important detail. They want to be sure of a good night's sleep, and they don't want a crick in their neck from sleeping on an under-stuffed and overused hotel pillow.
Godin makes points about planning, parking, and packing. Research the area around the takeoff airport, the landing airport, and the hotel in case you forgot to pack something or need to kill time. He also recommends taking a photo of where you parked and emailing it to a friend, in case you forget where you left your car.
The last suggestion may seem to be a bit much since you could just as easily look at the photo once you return to the parking lot, but it doesn't hurt for that extra step of preparation in case you lost your phone or it died.
When it comes to packing, lay out the clothes you want to take a few days before the flight, and see if they'll all fit into your luggage. If it doesn't, eliminate what you can until it does. This way you know everything fits and that it's all packed and ready to go.
Traveling does not have to be stressful, even for the most anxious of travelers. If you know you're going to be nervous about your trip, and want to make sure you have all the bases covered, read Seth Godin's list a few times, and take flight.
Share any tips that you use to reduce stress when traveling.

Bring This, Not That: Charging Cables and Extension Cords
August 19, 2014 by Matt Sill · Leave a Comment
Have you seen the new cell phone commercials that show travelers and their phones hugging the walls while they try to power up their battery hogging devices? Have you ever been one of those wall huggers? It may get worse, thanks to the TSA's new rules that require devices to be able to power up at checkpoints.
This is going to be a bigger problem, as most airports seem to have only one outlet for the entire terminal, although some airlines, like Delta, are adding more power outlets to their gates. Even so, there are still a limited number of outlets to use. And half the people using them are watching Netflix on their iPads, when you've got important work to get finished.
This is where a charging cable and extension cord may come in handy. We're not referring to those bulky beige utility-style surge protector extension cords. There are smaller more compact and flexible options out there, like the Pivot Power Genius available at ThinkGeek.com or other electronics stores.
Imagine pulling one of these out of your bag and asking someone nearby to plug it in. What cranky flight-delayed person would say no? They may not be any happier, but you may brighten a couple other people's days.
The Pivot Power is just one option out there. There are hand crank generators, portable hydrogen fuel cell generators (no, seriously), and even Tony Stark's Iron Man Mark V Armor Suitcase Mobile Fuel Cell. And of course, even a 3-in-1 splitter and 1 foot extension cord would let you share a plug with two new friends.
An extension cord is not only convenient in airports but also for hotels. Most hotels have made it so outlets are easily accessible and plentiful. However, if you happen to book a hotel that hasn't been updated in the last 20 years, the extension cord can save a lot of hassle. You may also run into problems if a hotel's desk lamp plug doesn't accommodate your bulky charger block.
Now that we depend on all these electronic devices, it's just as important to be able to power them up conveniently and quickly. Now that the TSA's rules are changing, and we're dependent on our phones and tablets, don't leave yourself without an option to power up.

FORT MYERS, Fla.- A 29-year-old man was arrested last night after allegedly slashing his boyfriend's neck with a box cutter before jumping into the Caloosahatchee River to flee police.
At 6:04 p.m. a vehicle ran the red light southbound on Cleveland Avenue at Victoria Avenue and crashed into a Fort Myers Police officer's
marked patrol vehicle. The officer sustained minor injuries.
The small compact vehicle then fled the scene south on Cleveland Avenue. The officer pursued the fleeing vehicle and caught up to as it turned into Lee Memorial Hospital.
The sole occupant jumped out of the vehicle with a large laceration across his neck. This subject, later identified as 53-year-old Jeffrey Paterson, was triaged as a trauma alert and immediacy entered the emergency room.
Paterson advised that he and his boyfriend, 29-year-old James Cannon, were driving on First Street when a verbal argument ensued. While stopped at the traffic light at First Street and Park Street, Cannon removed a box cutter and sliced Paterson across the neck. Cannon then fled the scene on foot. Paterson immediately drove himself to the hospital and in the process struck officer's patrol vehicle.
Paterson was able to speak with officers at the hospital prior to his surgery. Officers located witnesses who advised Cannon jumped into the Caloosahatchee River and was hiding on one of Edison Bridge's support beams.
Officers with the assistance of LCSO Aviation Unit, and FMPD Marine Unit conducted a search for Cannon via land, air and sea. After an extensive search, Cannon was discovered hiding in the water on the east side of the Caloosa Harbor Retirement Center.
Cannon was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Lee County Jail. A detective responded for the follow up investigation and Cannon was charged with aggravated battery (domestic violence).
Paterson's condition is unknown.

Erin, I am way impressed! That is such a great idea! I am definitely going to have to get my hands on some of those pages. And the pages you did scrapbook look FABULOUS! You put my scrapbooking to shame. Way to go, looks great! This will make you feel good - I still haven't scrapbooked our wedding. 6 years later. SAD.

Erin, your book is so cute! I have a lot of 4x6 pictures before I started storing all my pictures on the computer... that kind of book would be a good way to take care of them cute and in a hurry! BTW I used blurb for my blog book, I like how it turned out. My kids love to look at it, and I have a lot of journaling where my scrapbooks don't. I just wish my pictures were better! I need to take a photography and photoshop class ASAP! :)

Justice Department closes investigation of Samsung patent activity
Samsung was being investigated by the U.S. Justice Department because of suspicions that the company was using a special class of patents to attack rivals— the investigation will now come to a close, the the Department will continue to monitor the company in terms of patent regulation.
The news comes in the midst of a series of patent infringement complaints filed by both Apple and Samsung, with the most recent filed against Apple— Samsung won, and some older iPhone and iPad models were banned from being sold in the US.
Legal issues were determined to not require any kind of investigation, so the Justice Department has stopped looking into the matter.

Roughly 40% of iPads sold on Black Friday were to Android users
Android users sure want to take a bite out of that Apple. According to more than 90,000 Black Friday receipts from Android and iOS users collected by InfoScout, about 40% of them were Android smartphone owners that bought an iPad. This means that about 36,000 Android users bought an iPad. This is an interesting figure because it shows that although Android is an excellent experience on a smartphone, those consumers aren't feeling the same way about it on tablets. And with the launch of the new iPad Air, consumers are certainly going to be driven to buy something new with excellent specifications.
Google, on the other hand, has yet to announce their plans for a new Nexus 10 or even a Nexus 8. While some would say it is really up to OEMs to produce great tablets, I would argue that Google needs to shape the tablet experience into something fresh with their Nexus devices. The Nexus line is nowhere near as popular as Samsung's Galaxy brand, but it certainly is evolving into something mainstream.

Dutch Supreme Court rules that Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 design doesn't infringe upon iPad
The Supreme Court of the Netherlands ruled this week that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1′s design doesn't infringe on design elements of the Apple iPad. This stalls Apple's plans of trying to get the Galaxy Tab 10.1′s off the shelves in the Netherlands. Apple says that Samsung infringed on the registration of a 2004 "community design" of the iPad. A "community design" in the European Union is a form of intellectual property right that prevents businesses from copying the aesthetics of products.
The court dismissed the case, explaining that while Apple's design patents were valid, there isn't much of a case to be made against the Galaxy Tab since numerous other products have also implemented similar designs. The court also noted that the Galaxy Tab is different enough from the iPad to be unique in the eyes of an informed consumer. Samsung responded to the ruling with a zinger, stating "Apple was not the first to design a tablet with a rectangular shape and rounded corners."

Smaller tablets becoming all the rage and expected to grow worldwide, so sez the IDC
As we see more and more 8-inch or under tablets produced for all sorts of demographics, the overall demand for those tablets will grow in the coming years. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), the 2013 forecast for the worldwide tablet market has increased to 190.9 million units, which is up from its previous 172.4 million units. In fact, research analyst Jitesh Ubrani believes that "one in every two tablets shipped this quarter was below 8 inches in screen size. And in terms of shipments, we expect smaller tablets to continue growing in 2013 and beyond" .
Naturally Android manufacturers were quick to realize the unique niche market and are currently leading the way in terms of overall market share compared to competitors. The IDC believes that Android-based tablets will reach a peak market share of 48.8% for 2013, followed by Apple at 46% and Windows RT-based tablets after that. Of course as the years go by, both Android and Apple-based tablets will see their market shares drop slightly to 46% and 43.5% in 2017, respectively; while Windows-based tablets are expected to grow to 7.4% in 2017 which is significant and all– but probably not going to worry too many people very much.

Facebook's Mobile User Count Reveals Android And iOS Users Are Neck And Neck… But Android Is Growing At A Faster Rate
It's no secret that more and more users of mobile devices prefer Android over everything else, but it also appears that more of us use Facebook on our devices compared to well… everyone else. I know you're all slightly perplexed at where I am going, so let me explain— the Facebook app is no doubt a mainstay on mobile devices everywhere… regardless of what mobile OS the app is on. However— it appears there are more Facebook for Android users than Facebook for iPhone users. In fact– research indicates Facebook's Android user count is growing much faster than its iPhone user base, despite the Facebook app being found on a lower percentage of Android devices. Through some raw data compiled by Benedict Evans, data shows that since September 2011, Facebook for Android had a 66 million monthly active user count (MAU) and Facebook for iPhone had a 91 million MAU. Moving to November 2012, Android had grown to a 192.8 million MAU while iPhone only had a 147.2 million MAU. The data shows that Facebook's Android users helped Facebook reach a total of 604 million mobile users by the end of Q3 2012, which is tremendous.
As exciting as the findings are, there are some things to note. While there are more Facebook Android users than iPhone users, there are more Facebook iOS users overall when the iPad user base is taken into account. As it stands, there is a 48 million MAU for iPad users, which brings the total to 195.2 million MAU, just slightly more than the overall Android user base. In addition, the study could not take into account the integration that may not have been taken advantage of with iOS6 users, so the number could very well dwarf the number of Android users.
Still, the fact that Android users are not only adopting Facebook mobile at a faster rate, but are also contributing Facebook's overall growth is certainly nothing to sneeze at. It will be interesting to see how the numbers grow as Facebook continues to get better and better for the Android platform.

Archos announces 97 Premium tablet, unquestionably mimics Apple's iPad
French electronics powerhouse, Archos, has long proven that it can consistently build quality Android tablets at affordable prices, but this time around it appears as though the company has gone too far. The manufacturer announced today a brand new entrant into its luscious tablet offering, effectively bringing its portfolio full circle.
Despite just being announced, the Archos 97 Premium is nothing new. The device's sole purpose is undoubtedly to compete head-to-head with Apple's popular iPad. And while competition is a good thing, the 97 Premium is almost a direct copy of Cupertino's slate, something you could only expect from a Chinese manufacturer selling $50 tablets on eBay.

Apple Offers Another Apology… Well Statement Highlighting Samsung's Galaxy Tab Did Not Infringe On The iPad
Apple got away with giving a half-assed apology before online and it has done the same in print publications. After the courts telling it to give its attempt at an apology another try online, Apple went ahead and created another version of its apology in the famed UK print publication The Guardian. As you can see above, Apple clearly outlines the facts that Samsung's Galaxy Tab did not infringe on the iPad— though Apple doesn't say sorry anywhere in its statement. Naturally we're all expecting to see a real apology—- you know the one where you actually say sorry— to appear soon, very soon on Apple's website, so the courts and/or Sammy shouldn't be too disgruntled we suppose.

Patriots Defense Turning Things Around
It was an offense fueled by solid defensive plays that turned the game in Buffalo from a close…
|Nothing Wrong With Patriots Offense
Danny Woodhead TD
All questions about the Patriots offense have to wait, at least until the scoreboard stops spinning like a one-armed bandit. Forty-five second half points vs the Bills showed by New England's offense remains a very dangerous group.
There's nothing wrong with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots that a game against their familiar AFC East patsies - the Buffalo Bills - can't fix.
Not even after Brady and Co. spotted them a 14-point, third-quarter lead.
Brady responded by directing six straight touchdown drives in the second half on Sunday en route to a 52-28 blowout.
It was a game in which the Patriots (2-2) produced 580 total yards, forced six turnovers and avoided their first three-game losing streak in 10 years.
''Down 21-7 and on the road, backs against the wall, and I thought we showed a lot of heart,'' Brady said. ''That's what this team is made of. And we're going to battle until the end, I know that.''
Brady finished 22 of 36 for 340 yards and three touchdowns, plus one rushing. The 580 yards was the fourth-most in team history.
Cornerback Devin McCourty had two interceptions in keying a defense that forced six turnovers and had three sacks.
Running back Stevan Ridley scored twice. Wes Welker had nine catches for 129 yards, and tight end Rob Gronkowski had five for 104 yards and a touchdown as both players bounced back from first-half fumbles.
''You can't panic,'' Gronkowski said. ''When you panic, nothing good happens from there. We just stuck to the game plan.''
The comeback began immediately after Ryan Fitzpatrick hit Donald Jones for a 68-yard touchdown pass on the Bills first possession of the second half.
Brady responded with an eight-play, 80-yard drive by hitting Danny Woodhead for a 17-yard touchdown. After tying the game with a 4-yard run, Brady capped a five-play 63-yard drive by hitting Gronkowski with a 28-yard touchdown pass.
The Patriots scored 35 points in a span of 12:41 in building a 42-21 lead on Brandon Bolden's 7-yard run.
''We just played and executed better,'' coach Bill Belichick said. ''It's no magic.''
Magic no. Familiar, yes.
New England improved to 17-1 in its past 18 meetings against Buffalo, and 22-2 dating to the 2000 season. The Patriots lost their last trip to Orchard Park, 34-31 after blowing a 21-0 lead.
This time it was the Bills turn to unravel.
After Jones' scored, nothing else went right. Buffalo combined for two first downs and 31 yards on its next four drives, two of which ended with turnovers.
Bills coach Chan Gailey was embarrassed.
''I don't like to play like that, and I don't like to think that's who we are,'' Gailey said. ''But that's who we were today. You can't sugarcoat it.''
The news gets even worse as Buffalo enters a stretch in which it will play four of its next five on the road.
Starting left tackle Cordy Glenn and starting right guard Kraig Urbik both hurt their right ankles and did not return. Gailey said both could miss games.
The Bills offense sagged despite the return of its two top running backs. Fred Jackson had 29 yards rushing and 50 receiving in his first game back since spraining his right knee in a season-opening loss. Spiller had 33 yards rushing and 5 receiving after hurting his left shoulder in at Cleveland last weekend.
Both also fumbled, with Spiller's coming on a goal-line plunge late in the first quarter.
It was a dreadful outing for Mario Williams - who signed a six-year, $100 million contract in March - and the Bills high-priced defensive line.
Buffalo managed one sack. Otherwise, the defense gave up the second most yards in franchise history, and most points since a 56-10 loss to New England on Nov. 18, 2007.
''A loss is a loss. I don't label it anything,'' Williams said, when asked if it was embarrassing.
He placed the blame on the Bills inability to stop the run. Bolden had 137 yards rushing and Ridley 106.
''When you have two guys rushing for 100 yards, something's up,'' Williams said. ''We have to have a reality check and see what's going on.''
Fitzpatrick finished 22 of 39 for 350 yards and four scores - including two to Scott Chandler.
The game had additional significance to the Patriots, as it featured the return of the NFL's regular officials after they reached a new eight-year agreement on Thursday. It came after Belichick was fined $50,000 by the NFL for grabbing an official's arm to question whether Justin Tucker's 27-yard field goal would be reviewed following a 31-30 loss at Baltimore last weekend.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft made sure to welcome back John Parry and his crew, by waiting in the tunnel following the game and attempting to shake each of the officials' hands as they made their way off the field.
Kraft then waited for Brady's arrival, and shook the quarterback's hand, as well.
The two then smiled and chatted in making their way to the locker room.
NOTES: Brady improved to 19-2 against the Bills, a stretch in which he has 49 touchdowns and seven 300-yard games. .... Buffalo's 4-22 in its last 26 games against division opponents. ...

Prenzlauer Berg - fun and good restaurants?
- i
- isabelle94 Jan 28, 2010 10:27 AM
I'm off to Berlin and would love to get some recs for restaurants in Prenzlauer Berg. Somewhere with good food, not over the top expensive, and a fun atmosphere. It would be a huge plus if it was near bars and nightlife.
We aren't picky eaters but no gastropub or Indian (we're coming from London and get enough of that here!)
The good news first: you're likely to be close to bars and nightlife pretty much ANYWHERE in P'berg, as it is still one of the most popular, young neighborhoods in Berlin.
That said, here are a few suggestions (random cuisines, since you didn't specify what you ARE interested in):
Wok Show -- excellent selection of dumplings, prepared fresh daily, good apps. Stear clear of the entrees, they're not worth it.
The Bird -- best burgers in town, low-key (as in American) atmosphere.
Maria Bonita -- hole-in-the-wall, VERY good Mexican food.
Aroma Village -- Sichuan food near the Wasserturm/Kollwitzplatz
Femmina Morta, Su Mirtu, or Trattoria Paparazzi -- good Italian food.
Ars Vini -- a fondue resto with a variety of fondues
Hope this will start you off. Feel free to follow up.
re: linguafood
Very nice selection! I'm intrigued by the Mexican and Chinese. I'm a huge fan of dumplings (being of Chinese descent) and as a Cali native, miss getting really good Mexican. Do you have any good German recs in the area?
And as we are speaking about bars/nightlife, do you have any recs on that front? I'm not looking for high end, velvet rope bars. Anything down to earth with good music/crowd/vibes would be great!
re: isabelle94
Don't miss Aroma Village (http://maps.google.de/maps/place?rlz=...) for great Szechuan food, dumplings, and soups. Pretty much everything there is good, even entrees we think of as being "Americanized," such as cashew (here called "celery") chicken. Highlights are the Szechuan beef and the chicken with broad beans. The won ton soup, with a slick of sesame oil and shrimp dumplings, is also surprisingly good.
I've heard The Bird is good, but bear in mind, it's incredibly expensive for burgers or steak. A cheaper, but still good, option for burgers is Marienburger (http://www.marienburger-berlin.de/).
Second the recs. for Gugelhof and Ars Vini. Friends of mine were raving about both. Gugelhof is Alsatian rather than North German/Berliner fare. Also check out Mandelmond, which has well-made Spaetzle, game dishes, and other German classics at very reasonable prices (http://www.mandelmond.net/).
Looking for tasty Italian made with care? Head to i Due Forni (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/512-Pizze...) or Herr Rossi, where the service is a bit better. i Due Forni is slightly cheaper, and Herr Rossi is slightly more upscale with a nice, non-smoking atmosphere (http://maps.google.de/maps/place?rlz=...). The risottos and homemade pastas are killer. And be sure to order a Aperol Spritz (white wine spritzer with a shot of Aperol bitters).
For a nice brunch, lunch, or cake and coffee, check out either Cafe Anna Blum (http://maps.google.de/maps?rlz=1C1CHM...) or the fun, funky, laid-back (and English-speaking) Cafe Hilde (http://maps.google.de/maps/place?cid=...)
Good brunch can also be had at Restaurant Pasternak (http://www.restaurant-pasternak.de/), which has a big brunch buffet on Sundays. Or go for vodka and pelmeni (Russian dumplings) one night. These are not to be missed while you are in Berlin.
There are good Korean basics at CORE (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/188360-CO...), a utlilitarian little cafe with cheap prices and tasty bi bim bap and bulgogi.
Decent Thai/Vietnamese curries at insanely cheap prices at Minh Quang (http://www.minhquang.de/) and serviceable pho. Even better is the Vietnamese food at Onkel Ho, which has very good daily specials, nice summer rolls, and very cheap wine by the bottle in a romantic atmosphere (http://maps.google.de/maps/place?rlz=...)
Bars in Prenzlauerberg worth checking out include: Sorsi e Morsi (fantastic, if smoky little wine bar, where you get a small plate of antipasti on the house with your first glass of inexpensive wine - http://www.sorsiemorsi.de/home.html), Fluido (an impressive assortment of wonderful handmade cocktails, happy hour from 8-10pm-- speakeasy atmosphere; ring the doorbell to get in - http://maps.google.de/maps/place?hl=e...), Perle (big gay scene; Queer Beer Happy Hour from 10PM on Thursdays). Scotch and Sofa has a nice, relaxed atmosphere with old couches and memorabilia, but drinks there are on the expensive side for Berlin (http://maps.google.de/maps/place?rlz=...). Hairy Marry is also kind of fun and has English-speaking staff (http://www.toytowngermany.com/berlin/...). Not too far off in Friedrichshain is Dachkammer, an upstairs bar that opens around 10PM. The front room is non-smoking, has good cheap cocktails, comfy couches and a relaxed vibe. Highly recommend (http://maps.google.de/maps/place?cid=...).
for posterity, and to add to linguafood's recommendations:
- Italian: Donath (Schwedter Straße 13) no nonsense, high quality, reasonable. One of my all time favorite italian places.
- German: Fleisherei (Schönhauser Allee 8, http://www.fleischerei-berlin.com ), Meierei (Kollwitzstraße 42, http://www.meierei.net sorta café-ish) and Gugelhof (Knaackstraße 37, http://www.gugelhof.de ). All excellent. I've had things at these places that taste just like my mom used to make.
- Mexican: cannot beat Maria Bonita. They will have a proper sit-down resto in Kreuzberg too apparently.
Bars: Yes Bar, Beckett's Head (old style cocktail bar), Club der Republik... dunno, so many...
Coffee: Bonanza Coffee Heroes and God Shot.
The best meal I have had in six months of living in Berlin was hands down at Neugrün's Köche in Prenzlauer Berg. They do a four course menu that is either a local Berlin/Brandenburg menu or a southern German inspired menu. It's expensive but completely worth it. Another great place (not in Prenzlauer Berg but with the public transportation here who cares) is La Crapule in Kreuzberg. They do a 9 Euro lunch with three courses. I'd also like to second the vote for Morsi e Sorsi, it is my favorite wine bar in a city with a million of them. For another non-P'Berg recommendation, since I think you have enough of those, hop on the U2 to Schöneberg and go to the Green Door. They have the best cocktails in Berlin and it's a lot of fun. Just ring the bell by the door. Berlin is a great food city, but as a fellow California native I have to say that there are better types of food to focus on while you are here than Mexican. Maria Bonita seems to be the one exception, but I haven't worked up the courage to try it yet since I have been so disappointed by the others.
re: LoteriaSupperClub
Ah yes, I've heard good stuff about Neugrün's, but haven't been there myself.
Do give Maria Bonita a shot, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Most Americans I know who have been there say it's pretty damn close to the real deal.
re: LoteriaSupperClub
I'll second you on the Green Door. That place is an institution for a reason. I love that they make you a perfect cocktail, then set the shaker next to your glass to refill you with what's left once you make room. Two drinks there is...plenty. Too bad it's kind of a haul for me.
re: bropaul
Thanks for everyone's recs! We had a great time in Berlin and due to too much meandering, ended up missing most of these great recs!
However, we did make it to Maria Bonita for Mexican. I was surprised that it was such a hole in the wall (in a good way!) We ordered tacos and flautas, beans and rice. For a Mexican restaurant in Europe, it's pretty good. Good beef tacos were the highlight although they really needed to double up on the miniature tortillas they were served on. Flautas were good too. I'm from California though so it's a bit of a hard benchmark to be judging Mexican by! But the guy from Virginia behind the counter gave us a free shot of tequila after we finished our meal. You don't get that from a taco stand in SoCal!
For future recommendation-seekers: K. Fröhlich (http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=...) serves delicious mid-priced modern takes on German cuisine. I recently had whole grilled dorado with herbed compound butter, roasted red skin fingerling potatoes, and field greens with shallot vinaigrette.. My husband had the roast venison with pumpkin dumplings. We split the hazelnut mousse and were both very happy. Don't miss the sparkling wine cocktail with elderflower syrup! I hear brunch is also good.
Entrees are priced in the 7-15 Euro range. Dinner for two with drinks and dessert was 43 Euro, including tip.
re: ChristinaMason
That sounds great! I'll have to check it out come spring!!
re: linguafood
Great. Hope you like it. Also, you might be interested to hear a new Mexican restaurant opened in Mitte called "Tipica." Tip magazine gave it a glowing review in its latest issue.
re: ChristinaMason
That one looks great, too! Thanks for the tip. I just wrote them to see if they'd like an English menu :-D
re: linguafood
If you come before the end up June, please look me up! We should go for a bite.
re: ChristinaMason
You betcha. We'll be there mid May - mid August (maybe you could fb me again, i can't seem to find you there for some weird reason).
Thanks to all for the many recommendations here. Just spent a long weekend in Berlin with my boyfriend, meeting up with some friends of ours, and we all stayed in Prenzlauer Berg. We made liberal use of these suggestions and were the better for it! We loved Berlin, thought the scene was great, the food very good and the prices unbelievably reasonable (we currently live in Paris, so that's our frame of reference.)
Wanted to pitch in my two cents for anyone looking for a refresh on some of these. My only caveat is that I don't eat meat, so we didn't choose restaurants/cuisines that were meat-intensive.
Brunches: Anna Blume & Cafe Hilde -- Anna Blume's was the better of the two by far. Charming and cozy, I liked the atmosphere and the casual, communal-style table sharing when things are full up. (Not something that would ever be done in Paris.) The brunch menu had a number of American-style offerings, also a welcome change of pace from Paris, where most everything is fixed menu at brunch. Cafe Hilde had very poor service and a limited, uninteresting menu with bland food. Not recommended.
- Italian at Herr Rossi, where the service was relaxed and friendly and the food was very decent. I would recommend the Prosecco Aperol over the Spritz Aperol (too watery). The soup was not the most flavorful, but the salad was really excellent. Risotto & pasta were both very nicely prepared with fresh ingredients. Love the custom of blankets on the outside chairs for keeping warm when needed.
-Vietnamese at Onkel Ho, where we preferred the curry dish with tofu to prawns in tamarind sauce . The tamarind was too rich and overly sweet, no balance to the dish. The mango lassi was good, though the price for water was truly outrageous (4 Euro!)
Lastly, outside the neighborhood, but on a bike ride we ended up at Santa Maria Mexican Diner in Kreuzberg. I grew up on the west coast and crave Mexican food ever since living in Paris, where it's just impossible to find it. Very decent Mexican food, I have to say, though the iced tea with mint & lime was by far my favorite feature of the meal.
Thanks for the many recommendations and great advice -- looking forward to a return trip so that we can continue to explore Berlin's great food scene beyond our little neighborhood!
re: justbecause
So glad to hear you had a good time, and (at least) decent eats.
Shoulda gone to Maria Bonita in Pberg instead of Santa Maria -- much better IMNHO. But you'll have some place to go next time :-)
re: justbecause
Since I drew heavily from this thread too I thought I'd mention that I posted a report of our activities in Berlin here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/857100
Thanks for all the great info.

This blue-collar Heights hangout doesn't draw the sexiest crowd, but for colorful characters and unusual enthusiasm, you can't beat it -- especially on weekdays at 6:30 p.m., when Wheel of Fortune is on. Looking at the long bar flanked by two large TVs (both tuned to the show), you'd think it was game seven of the '94 NBA Finals. It's fun to pound a few $2 beers and listen to folks shout insults at the screen and beat their fellow barflies to the puzzle solution. Just don't let the practice become a habit. You'll know you have a problem when you belly up for a Lone Star and wind up ordering a vowel.

Davutoglu reacts to US' Gezi Park statements by calling Kerry

Ankara - Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu reacted to US` Gezi Park statements and said Turkey was not a second class democracy by calling his counterpart John Kerry.
Reminding that similar incidents occurred in various European capitals, Davutoglu said "Many democratic countries encounter with similar protests and this is the test of the democratic systems."
Davutoglu said "Similar events in other democratic countries are perceived as `ordinary`, but what happened in Turkey is defined as `extraordinary`. Turkey is not a second class democracy."

Gallery: The 20 most significant events in Linux's 20-year history
Summary: Linux is 20 years so let's take a walk though time with Linux at some of its high, and low, points.
4 of 21Image
1992: Andrew Tannenbaum, operating system guru and creator of Minix, an educational operating system version of Unix, declares "LINUX is obsolete" and Linux's first operating system war is on. In the resulting discussion, Torvalds makes a very telling comment about his vision for Linux which remains true today, "If the GNU kernel [another attempt to create a free Unix-like operating system] had been ready last spring, I'd not have bothered to even start my project: the fact is that it wasn't and still isn't. Linux wins heavily on points of being available now."
1993: There were earlier Linux distributions, such as MCC and Yggdrasil Linux but Patrick Volkerding's Slackware was the first broadly successful Linux distro and it's still being updated and used today.
1993: Debian Linux, the popular community Linux, gets its start. Today, it's the ur-source for MEPIS, Mint, Ubuntu, and many other popular Linux distributions.
