To investigate the role of the ORF47 protein kinase of varicella-zoster virus (VZV), we constructed VZV recombinants with targeted mutations in conserved motifs of ORF47 and a truncated ORF47 and characterized these mutants for replication, phosphorylation, and protein-protein interactions in vitro and for infectivity in human skin xenografts in the SCID-hu mouse model in vivo. Previous experiments showed that ROka47S, a null mutant that makes no ORF47 protein, did not replicate in skin in vivo (J. F. Moffat, L. Zerboni, M. H. Sommer, T. C. Heineman, J. I. Cohen, H. Kaneshima, and A. M. Arvin, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95:11969-11974, 1998). The construction of VZV recombinants with targeted ORF47 mutations made it possible to assess the effects on VZV infection of human skin xenografts of selectively abolishing ORF47 protein kinase activity. ORF47 mutations that resulted in a C-terminal truncation or disrupted the DYS kinase motif eliminated ORF47 kinase activity and were associated with extensive nuclear retention of ORF47 and IE62 proteins in vitro. Disrupting ORF47 kinase function also resulted in a marked decrease in VZV replication and cutaneous lesion formation in skin xenografts in vivo. However, infectivity in vivo was not blocked completely as long as the capacity of ORF47 protein to bind IE62 protein was preserved, a function that we identified and mapped to the N-terminal domain of ORF47 protein. These experiments indicate that ORF47 kinase activity is of critical importance for VZV infection and cell-cell spread in human skin in vivo but suggest that it is the formation of complexes between ORF47 and IE62 proteins, both VZV tegument components, that constitutes the essential contribution of ORF47 protein to VZV replication in vivo.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - A Jacksonville man who had been serving 45 years for beating his girlfriend to death has been sentenced to life in prison following his retrial.
A Duval County judge sentenced 33-year-old Steven W. Montgomery on Wednesday. He was convicted last month of second-degree murder, the same charge his was convicted of in June 2007. Montgomery's previous conviction was one of several overturned by an appellate court decision that found juries were not given proper instructions on manslaughter, a lesser charge with a potentially a lighter sentence.
Prosecutors say Montgomery fatally beat 23-year-old Tarnesha Ellis with a metal rod and a broomstick in front of her 3-year-old son in October 2005. He then ate ice cream with the boy before he was arrested.

Health Tip: Eat Right for Healthier Sight
(HealthDay News) -- The right diet can help improve eye health and ward off eye problems.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics mentions these foods that can help promote healthier eyes:
Nutrient-rich kale, which can help protect against sunlight damage, cataracts and macular degeneration.
Sweet potatoes, which are rich in beta carotene and may help thwart macular degeneration.
Strawberries, which are rich in vitamin C and may help reduce the risk of cataracts.
Omega-3 fatty acid-rich salmon, which can help manage dry eyes and reduce the risk of macular degeneration.
Green tea, which is loaded with antioxidants and may help protect against macular degeneration and cataracts.

Do no harm: Pediatrician calls for safely cutting back on tests, treatments
When parents take a sick or injured child to the doctor or emergency room, they often expect tests to be done and treatments given. So if the physician sends them on their way with the reassurance that their child will get better in a few days, they might ask: 'Shouldn't you do a CT scan?' or 'Can you prescribe an antibiotic?' But many medication interventions done 'just to be safe' not only are unnecessary and costly but they also can harm patients.

Eating right can be a challenge on a budget. I have started focusing on the things that are on sale. For the last month or so I buy only produce that is on sale or that I must have, instead of what I want or goes with some predetermined menu. I then plan my meals around this produce. I supplement fresh produce with natural frozen (no additives). This is saving me quite a bit of money.
When you join these types of groups that promise you plans you really expect more adaptability. But making it your own is still up to you. It must fit your life for you to be successful. Don't stop because it doesn't fit find a way to make it fit or find a different group / club. Make it fit your life, YOU ARE WORTH IT!

So yesterday was a bad bad food day all because I sick.

Worse yet is if your program is the reason for your depression.
Last night I was short on calories, carbs, and calcium, I kept thinking I could have some ice cream but I was so depressed that I didn't even eat ice cream I went to bed after completing my steps and exercises. Well at least I didn't overindulge.

Fish City Grill coming to San Antonio
- h
- HollyDolly Aug 25, 2006 02:46 PM
I saw in the San Antonio Express News last week where a restaraunt called Fish City Grill was coming to town.
I looked them up and they are from Dallas.Has anyone here eaten at one and are they any good?
Yes, a Fish City Grill is a good addition to any restaurant scene. The food is fresh, fairly priced, and I've never had bad service in one. My only complaint is it can get pretty crowded even in the off hours.
I missed this announcement. Where will they be located? I'd love to see another "fish place" in San Antonio.
Hope they are successful.
They are going to be on US281 North, and Henderson Pass,over in the area of HEB and Barnes and Nobles.I don't have the newspaper write up from last week Wensday's food section.
They do have a website,so the exact address maybe listed on there.
I like it! I've been to the one in Sugar Land once, and would go again. The food is fresh and they have interesting options other than just fried stuff (although the fried stuff was quite good--I don't usually like calamari because it's like rubber bands, but theirs was very tender). The one here is fairly small, so if they are all built by that plan, they probably do get pretty crowded at peak times.
Some of the prices are great; they have an ample fried shrimp basket with good waffle fries for something like $5.50.
I really like Fish City Grill's fish taco. They are not "authentic" Baja fish tacos -- the fish is a mild white-fleshed fish, maybe (shudder) tilapia, battered and fried -- but the taste and texture are great.
It's YOUR fault! I went to Fish City Grill yesterday.
Had the Thai Chili Oysters (6) for $7 ... they are marvelous! Can't recommend them highly enough.
Also had the Oyster PoBoy ... ok ... I was in an oyster mood!
a handful of breaded, fried oysters on a fresh poboy bun, w/ fresh lettuce, sliced cherry tomatoes & russian dressing. Nothing phenomenal ... but simple & the flavors were very balanced.
It only has about 110 seats ... so I can't imagine it at dinnertime ... but for lunch, it was only 1/3 full. Had at 6-8 "specials" on the blackboard ... and another 4-5 on a blackboard at the entry.
With iced tea & a generous tip to Charles, I dropped an even $20.
I'll definitely be back. Great place for dinner when shopping there, or when going to a movie or going ice skating (or curling!).
re: EdLagniappe
You're supposed to have poutine and beaver tails after curling! Don't know of anywhere in SAT that serves those, though...
Another bonus is that you have any fish they have in-house prepared to order. So if you have health-conscious friends: fish, no butter, no oil with fresh steamed veggies. Delicious and low calorie. Or you can just stick with the fried shrimp, which are excellent as well.
Had to try them after reading all the reviews. My take is mixed. I ordered the crab cake for an app it was very tasty and had chunks of crab meat rather than minced which led to a good texture as well. Golden on the outside and moist and juicy within. I also ordered a fish taco and substituted tilapia for $1.50 more. I asked for it grilled it came out fried. the ratio of fish to filling was about 1/4. portions were large. service was good. I would try them again.
Thanks for the review link.I'll have to check out their location at US281 and 1604.lot of places out there recently.

The protein elicitor from Alternaria tenuissima (PeaT1) presented excellent thermotolerance and potential application in agriculture as a pesticide. Previous synchrotron radiation circular dichroism study demonstrated that the secondary structures in PeaT1 protein are reversible with temperature change. To further clarify the mechanism of its thermotolerance, synchrotron radiation small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) technique was used to study the shape change of PeaT1 protein with temperature in this article. Ab initio structure restorations based on the SAXS data revealed that PeaT1 protein has a prolate shape with a P2 symmetry axis along the prolate anisometric direction. With temperature increase, a gooseneck vase-like (25°C), to jug-like (55°C), then to oval (85°C) shape change can be found, and these shape changes are also approximately reversible with temperature decrease. PeaT1 protein contains two homogenous molecules, and each of them consists of F, NAC, T, and UBA domains. The structures of the four domains were predicted. Simulated annealing algorithm was used to superimpose the domain structures onto the SAXS shapes. It was found that all the structural domains have position rotation and translation with temperature change, but the NAC domains are relatively stable, playing a role of frame. This shape change information provides clues for further exploring its biological function and application. Proteins 2013. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Roasted Pumpkin Quiche
Eggs are undoubtedly one of my can't-live-without foods. I absolutely ♥ them, so when I found out this month's International Incident Party was all about eggs, I got really eggs-cited and put my name down for it. :) After all, two of my favourite gals are playing host ... Penny aka Jeroxie and Tasty Trix! Happy Birthday, my sweets!
Next was the question of "What dish should I make?" because eggs are just so versatile. Thankfully, as I flipped through my cookbook, I quickly found my answer - Roasted Pumpkin Quiche. Not only are eggs the key ingredient, so are pumpkins, which herald the start of beautiful autumn (in the northern hemisphere, at least). Perfect!
And because quiches are so easy-going and forgiving - unlike cakes, bleah - you can tweak the recipe and nothing will go seriously wrong. For instance, I subbed spinach for peas; whipping cream for crème fraîche. You can opt to use filo sheets (like the recipe) or opt for shortcrust pastry, and it's perfectly alright ... so feel free to experiment.
Well, without rambling further, may I present my dish to the party - and indeed, it is perfect party food any time of day - Roasted Pumpkin Quiche!
Here's the quiche, fresh out of the oven. Can you smell it?
(from Homestyle Vegetarian by Murdoch Books)
- 500g butternut pumpkin
- 1 red onion, cut into small wedge (I used white onion)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic, crushed
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 125ml whipping cream (I used crème fraîche)
- 125ml milk
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp chopped coriander (I omitted)
- 1tsp wholegrain mustard (I omitted)
- 6 sheets filo pastry
- 50g English spinach, blanched (I used frozen peas, about 2 handfuls)
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1. Pre-heat the oven to 190 degree celsius. Slice the pumpkin into 1-cm (1/2-inch) pieces, leaving the skin on. Place the pumpkin, onions, 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic and 1 tsp salt in a roasting tin. Roast for 1 hr, until lightly golden and cooked.
* Note: I did not do this because 1 hr is too long! I pan-roasted everything in a non-stick skillet and it was so much faster. Also, I removed the skin from the pumpkin. I don't wanna eat skin. Ewww.
2. Whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, herbs and mustard. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
3. Grease a loose-based fluted flan (tart) tin or ovenproof dish measuring 22cm (8 1/2-inches) across the base. Brush each sheet of filo with oil (I used melted butter) and then line the flan tin with the 6 sheets. Fold the sides down, tucking them into the tin to form a crust.
4. Heat baking tray in the oven for 10mins. Place the flan tin on the tray and arrange all the vegetables over the base. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and sprinkle with parmesan.
(Left) To achieve that nice, layered effect, make sure your overlap the pumpkin slices as shown above. (Right) Tuck the edges of the filo neatly to form a crust.
5. Bake for 35 to 40mins, or until the filling is golden brown and set. Enjoy!

Your quiche looks gorgeous, Ju! And such a lovely colour too. As for eating pumpkin skin, I was a little 'errrr' about it at first, but Jamie O's recipe for pumpkin muffins incorporates butternut pumpkin skin, and in the oven, it actually softens and becomes chewy and caramelised. It was surprisingly really nice!ReplyDelete
I love quiche! The pumpkin and creme fraiche in yours would have made this one particularly nice I am sure.ReplyDelete
I love the idea of a pumpkin quiche - a fabulous creation for the party!!!ReplyDelete
Exactly, quiche is yummy and a fool-proof making dish. And love your creation of pumpkin quiche, very attractive as well as healthy.ReplyDelete
Gosh! I like this version. And the filo must be so crunchy and light against the eggy and creamy filling. YUM!ReplyDelete
Thanks for joining the party!
That perfectly browned top looks SO GOOD, you've cooked if perfectly. I would happily end up covered in little bits of pastry flakes eating a huge wedge of this :DReplyDelete
So in time for autumn. :) ....and your photos are gorgeous.ReplyDelete
I am with you in this; eggs are one of the most fascinating ingredients with so many uses for its yolks and whites, and so many chemical reactions depending on how you deal with it, all contained within 1 little shell.ReplyDelete
I simply love eggs cooked in any way. I also love your rustic, elegant presentation :)
I love quiche. I could have a serving of this one right now.ReplyDelete
Perfect for the holiday season AND a great idea to use filo pastry rather than making my own quiche crust.ReplyDelete
Oh what a lovely looking quiche! The pastry looks so flaky and gorgeous.ReplyDelete
Yay, I love a good vegetarian recipe and this pumpkin quiche looks too good to resist!ReplyDelete
I've never tried a quiche made with this..Certainly party worthy..I did make a butternut squash lasagna last night and we did enjoy it..so this must be delish too..C'est beau Ju!ReplyDelete
Never would have thought of a pumpkin quiche but it certainly sounds (and looks) delicious! Might have to give this a whirl soonReplyDelete
Nothing says AUTUMN better than PUMPKINS! This quiche looks scrumptious!ReplyDelete
This looks great and I love the lighter phyllo crust. Sorry I couldn't make it to the IIP this month but it's so nice seeing everyone's inspired entries.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Hopefully this is a good way to make my 4yo niece eat her eggs!
How did you know just what I would like for the party? YUM my dear! I have never thought to put pumpkin in a quiche - how clever. And the filo is cool as well, I must give that a try. An eggs-cellent dish! ; )ReplyDelete
What a lovely dish and such beautiful pics Ju!ReplyDelete
I would love a slice right now!
yum! I haven't had a quiche in ages!ReplyDelete
This looks seriously good, Ju! And i love that you used filo for the dough. Beautiful and delicious, i can't ask for more.. oh yes! Can i have a slice? :)ReplyDelete
The colours are just gorgeous. I love quiche. It is so versatile and as you have made it.... DELICIOUS!ReplyDelete
wow, your quiche looks incredible. and this is so autumy. love your photos!ReplyDelete
From another egg-addict, that is one gorgeous quiche.ReplyDelete
Una fantastica idea questa quiche! Anch'io ieri per pranzo avevo due piatti con la zucca. Buona settimana Daniela.ReplyDelete
Love the light yet crunchy filo! Your quiche with a twist must be irresistable and the lime-light for the party! Yum...ReplyDelete
oh i love quiches, and this looks really yummy. but isn't filo pastry really exp tho? :( i wonder if one can make filo pastry from scratch...hmmm.ReplyDelete
Mmmmm that looks good! Makes me wish I lived in the northern hemisphere with all the lovely in-season pumpkins.ReplyDelete
Ages ago, I came across your blog and bookmarked this delicious looking butternut quiche recipe. Finally, this morning my sister and I made it. (I'm eating it as I write!) As we're eating we're looking through cookbooks and came found the exact recipe you got this from! We have the same Vegetarian cookbook! What a coincidence! And AS we're eating it!ReplyDelete
Our food blog is fourthbroomstick.wordpress.com. We're going to post this quiche recipe ourselves (with a few minor changes) We'll be sure to credit your blog for our inspiration too!
Mine's in the oven right now. I cannot wait!ReplyDelete

Just triewd my first bar of ScharffenBerger – the 70% bittersweet. Strange to think how far it has travelled – first the beans from Africa and South-America to California, then the bar to Antwerpen to Copenhagen, and up here to the Arctic with a danish friend of mine.
The choc? Slightly reddish color. Initially balanced fruity and slightly mocha/bitter, leaving place for acidic red berries and in the end some more bitterness and iron.
Overall, a very good choc, but may be without a strong "personality".
My name is Polarbear and I am a chocoholic…

August 1, 2006
It's been quite a while since I had the 70%, but I recently finished off two 82% bars and a 41% milk, which were quite good. I found the 82% to taste heavily of cherries and bitter almonds with ashy nuances. I love these flavors in chocolate anyway, so that's probably why I like it so much. The 41% milk was really good too, possessing an actual chocolate flavor with caramel tones and an extreme fruitiness in the background. What's interesting about the 41% bar, though, is the use of non-fat dry milk powder, and upon looking at the nutrion label, there are only 9g of fat per serving (40g). Now, compared to other milks, which have fat levels of about 17g per 40g, this is rather low, and Scharffen Berger's bar still retains excellent flavor and a smooth texture, although quite pasty and thick.

i have begun on a 70% scharffen berger and the initial impression i had when i bought the one-ounce months ago is completely different from what i taste now.
the first time i thought it's a so-so chocolate made to american taste. nothing special, dark but ok.
now on second try i find it very fruity and like the taste much better. it's nice and smooth and decent chocolate.

Dead STEVE JOBS was a CROOK - Judge
Re: Use the fines to prop up physical book publishers/sellers
I don't agree with this post, but I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment. In point of fact, I personally would like (which no one cares about, quite rightfully, but which I will share anyway) both directions to flourish. I say without any consideration of the realities that either support or hinder the possibility. The point is, I want the convenience of e-books and electronic publishing when it is convenient to ME - at work, during some travel (when in trains, plains, and automobiles and access to luggage and their contents is restricted), and paper product when I am at leisure to truly appreciate it. I truly doubt I am alone in this. I fell in love early in life with the sensibility of the local bookstore and library, and the feel, smell and overall psychology of holding (and even OWNING) a physical, bound work of recorded thought. They both have their place, and I am loathe to be forced to choose between them. Progress is supposed to, under at least one definition, meet the desires of a society, whether those desires lead one forward or back. (Yes, progress can be made by returning to a desired prior state.) I therefore support both ends, and hope I can continue to enjoy the middle.
Re: Common sense prevails
@ Malcolm Weir
I think these are excellent points for discussion, particularly point 4 and 6, which rather go hand in hand. It appears, from Apple's conduct (as opposed to the arguments of Apple's subjective intentions), that Apple was more interested in ensuring a basic profit model, from which the consumer would derive no benefit and from which Apple (and its alleged co-conspirators) could obtain relief from prevailing market forces. Apple was not interested in true combat with those market forces, or their correction (to the extent Apple could argue that they those forces were manipulated and not truly purely free market), but rather with simply avoiding their effect by establishing a different market with the unpermitted help of others. This does not necessarily lead one to the conclusions of the "executive summary," but does explain why its arguments to the judge based on how it was really looking to do "good," and how a finding against it would harm the market were not accepted.
Re: Common sense prevails
Indeed. By attempting what could most charitably on Apple's part be labeled as "helpful correction" of the market, Apple was acting not, in fact, to benefit the market, or to remove the allegedly heavy thumb of Amazon on e-book transactions, but rather was simply looking to change the market enough to allow Apple to take a turn at skimming the cream from the consumer. Ideally, anti-trust laws exist and are enforced to protect the consumer; that they are not utilized this was often enough, or to seldom wholly ignore the repercussion to consumers entirely, is a different (but equally interesting) issue. Here, Apple had no right to declare their own image of how things should be done more righteous (as it were) than another, and has been found simply engaging in the same type of improper conduct they tried to use as an affirmatively defensive argument.
It will be interesting to read the arguments put forth in Apple's inevitable appeal. Even if the appeal is taken less for actual legal vindication than for leverage to settle without confession of liability (the usual impetus for appeals by businesses), I would think Apple would have to focus very sharply on the details of the actual deals entered into, and the details of the allegations against them, rather than broader arguments of markets as a whole or any submitted benefit to any consumers.
Just my two cents (and you get what you pay for).
The argument is one based on the rule of law. As mentioned above, this is a lesson that is repeatedly attempted to be taught, on both sides of the large pond, in grade school. It is a reflection on our societies' failures that such menial lessons so often don't seem to have been integrated into the student's worldview. As with most lessons of this type, the penalties for failing to learn (and consistently flaunting that failure in front of others) can be severe. It would be far more economical to concentrate on the proper teaching, rather than the correcting. If only there weren't so many spectacular successes arising from just such asocial behavior . . .
@ Jai 16:32
There is no "person" responsible in this type of case; the entities involved were corporations, and the entities which executed the agreements sued upon were corporations. Mitt Romney is still wrong - corporations are NOT people, my friend.
Corporations also don't go to jail. There are fines, however, and other injunctive relief available to make sure it doesn't happen again.
The system can work, if you want it to.

If you don't think the MPAA filters content, what do you think their rating letters are for? Those letters have the ability to kill a commercial release through restriction of available outlets. It isn't that unusual in societies, in general, nor necessarily always that offensive, but it does happen regularly.
The rest of your post reflects a certain amount of defensiveness and tinfoil. I actually agree with you that whether the "kidz" wear Google Glass is not really, in the larger picture, a subject needing immediate and intense social debate (maybe later, when it actually works in ways feared by many).
I guess my question is that you truly are concerned about the "larger issues" (for which I admire you), why are you here, talking about this? Surely you could do more good on other sites with a greater connection to social good than complaining to those that are much less likely to share your own views on that subject.
In the meantime, do you think these glasses make me look fat?

British judge: Say you're sorry Apple... this time like you MEAN it
Re: Not a good day for apple
Thanks for that - I hadn't seen it before. Interesting that Apple would make the representation that a sheet of paper that says applications for Android can be had at one location, and applications from Apple may be had at another, is accused of intentionally misleading a reader that the two are the same. Oh, I know that the argument really points to use of the term "AppStore" and that Apple accuses Amazon of trying to mislead consumers into believing that the service is the same in each location, but that's a very uphill battle. Refreshing to see a common-sense approach to such arguments. I have a feeling that Apple has much more to its argument than was presented in the article.
Re: Humour test
Of course - that is the point. This order was not a test of Apple's sense of humor, and certainly not a wish by any of the judges to exercise theirs (I believe American judges largely have their senses of humor surgically removed upon ascension to the bench), but an attempt to actually get a specific result. Apple quite intentionally showed that they did not believe they had to produce that result. That misapprehension has been corrected. I have no doubt that the judges quite honestly hope they will not have to go back for any additional correction. If so, there will be no happy campers.
Re: Well, what did he expect?
The problem, even if he did say it, was that it was in no way any part of the holding or ruling on the case. Such a simple thing, and so hard for some to understand. To say that anyone Apple would hire to represent them can't tell the difference between a casual remark and a decision from the bench would be an insult to the brain-dead. The judge also could have ordered a pastrami sandwich while off the record and it would have had no place in any description or analysis of the ruling. You guys are a pleasure to read - opinionated, bright, funny, well-rounded and full of unexpected knowledge in many areas, but boy, there sure are some klunkers that periodically slouch their way in. You don't have to agree, but at least try to pretend you thought about it first, if only to allow the rest of us to imagine that all that money for public education isn't going directly into the toilet.

I'm not going to downvote you, but if you really think any pointed comment here has any influence on Apple's corporate progress, or represents anything other than a relatively mild expression of preference for any possible number of characteristics (including the ones you obviously feel), or even possibly the opportunity to simply make a joke, you are sadly mistaken. And quite likely on the wrong website. Have a beer instead.

"What an insult to the judges intelligence - its like they are begging for a contempt charge." - Chet Mannly @ 20:43

Re: Good.
"Actually, the judges are pompous self righteous fuckwits. They are modifying their original judgement without due process, and their original order was verging on ultra vires in the first place. Rather to full of their own importance." - AC, at 1940 GMT.
I have not appeared in an English courtroom, but as an American lawyer (put that sharp object down, sir!), I tend to agree with the general sentiment of the first sentence here in application to the judiciary universally. I can tell you that as to the second sentence you have no idea what you are talking about. The third sentence is considered as informative as "water is wet" where I practice. I'd say overall your comment is pretty much what could be expected from an ill-informed corporate apologist.
There really is no doubt the judge(s) had the power and authority to do what they did, and under the fact presented it is not surprising that they exercised that power and authority.
By the way: Tossup between "Judge Jacob said: I'm at a loss that a company such as Apple would do this," and "Apple's original statement was not considered to be robust" for biggest LOL.

APPLE: SCREW YOU, BRITS, everyone else says Samsung copied us
Re: Called it
I agree. The judge's opinion of "cool" is not a part of the Court Opinion - it is something called "dicta" and has no force for enforcement purposes; it quite literally is not a part of the ruling. On the other hand, the judge's perception that Apple had engaged in extra-judicial name-calling and media engagement so as to warrant the presentation of a correction is a part of the decision. It occurs relatively frequently when a party has introduced misleading or flat-out incorrect info in a perceived attempt to manipulate the court or the public. That part is not ridiculous or so very unusual. The unusual part is that Apple should have left itself open to such an order, a d then displayed such open passive-aggressiveness more common to a kindergarten schoolyard. When you play with the big boys you don't always get to make your own rules. That expectation is a fail.
Apple pays up for stealing design from Swiss Railways
Re: Swiss Neutrality ?
"The Arms of Krupp," by William Manchester, an interesting history of Germany's largest and most thoroughly integrated cannon and munitions manufacturer, provides some relevant tidbits on this and many other subjects dealing with Germany's relationships with other nations in the pre-war runups and post-war rundowns of that nation's history. I only read it because it detailed an extremely distant part of our family, but I re-read it twice because I believe it is an execeptional, well-researched and informative read.
Re: Swiss Neutrality ?
Oh, please. Normally I would just let a comment like this go, but the idea of Swiss individuals who keep hunting rifles at home being an ultimate deterrent to the German Wehrmacht is just silly. If Germany had really been serious and had gotten around to it, I can't help but believe the Swiss would have been swept from their land in a relatively short time. Yes, some Germans would have been killed; a helluva lot more Swiss would have been lost. Switzerland did not pose a realistic threat to German interests at that time (I will leave others to determine or argue why that was so, and what interests were involved) and so was not militarily removed. That is all there is to it. I strongly admire Swiss independence and the principles upon which it rests, and I take a back seat to none in applauding their political acumen during the Second World War. But to try to frame an argument, as the author of the linked material seems to, that its was the right embodied in the American Second Constitutional Amendment that preserved their freedom isn't worth the energy I just spent on this comment. This is why I normally let this stuff pass. . . Hopefully I just read the link incorrectly and only made a fool of myself (something I do more often than post comments).
Cook's 'values' memo shows Apple has lost its soul
Re: Umm, so which is it?
Contrary to what seems to be a firm belief in forums, there is no law or even rule against the placing of jurors in a panel with relevant experience with the issues in the case being tried. The general preference of trial lawyers (both defense and plaintiff) is to have a blank slate upon which to write their own opinions and facts, and not have to worry about a juror realizing that there is more to an issue than they are being told, or that the party (or attorney) is not telling them the truth. Having said that, such a preference is obviously not always practical - you have a limited pool of people from which to pull jurors, and even in a case like this a judge will not allow unlimited peremptory (without cause) removal of a prospective juror. The determining factor is whether a juror can be fair with the knowledge presented at trial, based on that juror's own life experience, not whether a juror will put aside his/her own real experience and indulge in accepting only the arguments presented while ignoring what they know to be true in the "real world." Given that, it is not unusual to assume that both technical knowledge, economic experience and basic common sense all found their way into the jury room for deliberations. Even given a lawyer's preference for a jury having minimal opinions of their own, no one wants a bunch of idiots making decisions for their clients. (I realize this is a great set-up line - swing away!)
You can argue with a jury's decision based on a lot of factors, but you should be able to count on a certain amount of garden-variety common sense being applied. If it doesn't appear to have been so, I would suggest looking a little closer at the arguments and exhibits permitted or denied at trial or the jury instructions presented to the jury. That is usually the source of the public's true disagreement with trial results. Of course, it is always possible for juries to mistake instructions and misinterpret evidence or argument, but again, it sometimes depends on the perspective of the observer or comment.
Hiccups in Apple's iCloud after yesterday's hack of hapless hack
Re: If this hadn't happened to a tech journo, but an ordinary mortal...
"Sure security policies by apple, amazon and the like need to be investigated after this . . . "
Well, it turns out they really should have been investigated and vetted BEFORE this happened. Try as you might, the story really is the apparently rather easy ability of someone without real knowledge of an individual or account to get where this hacker got, primarily by being stubborn. Placing the blame on the journalist's difficulty in replacing data because is doesn't fit one's idea of Apple saintliness is not much of a contribution to the discussion, which I think should be on the loss of data in the first place. I like the Apple products a lot, though I don't like the premium (my family all have iPhones, though old ones now). This should not blind one, however, to either the original problem or the rather unhelpful response action given by Apple in this instance. (And this appears to be only the latest of instances of the latter event.)
Admittedly, I don't have a bunch of answers to help Apple here, and not enough details, but at least I think I see the proper pressure point. If we intend to make serious comments, let's keep our eye on the ball.

iPhone 5 poised to trounce Android, devastate BlackBerry?
Re: Fragmentation = Choice = Confusion = Complications
And a telephone book (remember them?) is complicated to certain people. There are limitations to using email on the iPhone, as well as in other well-documented areas (I have the 4), and though it does not make it more complicated, it also does not make anything "easier." As you say, "it's a phone," and I would expect to each his own. I'm not sure why you would "detest" a phone, though I have to add that my mobile phones have all been the result of my own (occasionally misplaced) judgment, rather than rationed out by a generous employer, so I can only confess to my own mistakes. I would anticipate that, since you're wise enough in the world to interact here at El Reg, you are also wise enough to avoid any Android malware by use of common sense. But you're right, that could be too complicated. I will be looking to Android, I believe, in the near future.
Re: null and void
Agree with the thrust of this comment. I think you have to account for the apparent fact that most of the rewriting is from press pieces rather than any attempt at hard or strictly factual news to begin with. The failure to add any value through follow-up or independent critical thinking is really just frosting on the cake.

Apple-Moto patent gripe almost thrown out the door
Re: Without Prejudice?
Exactly. Judge Posner (whom I respect immensely as a rare judicial clear thinker) has basically said that neither side has sufficient goods to prevail on their claims. He would, however, allow each to retire to their respective corners and try to re-write their complaints to meet the applicable threshold. The "tentative" part is a warning: these judges don't often change their tentative rulings, particularly when they have been made public. (They don't want a reputation of being uncertain.). I expect that the tentative will. E the order unless someone can show him some pretty convincing (and real, not some marketing drone powerpoint whining) evidence. A day to be much hoped for, in my view.

Apple delays 'retina display' iPad 3 to 2012
The Key Phrase
The key phrase in your comment is "similar specs". Looking at the Apple closed system with integrated vertical management and "take it or leave it" features, we do not find a similar spec to, say, the Tab currently at issue, or more open alternatives to Apple. You may argue that what is really a premium price for what you get from Apple is worth it ("it just works" (for you), ineffable "cool" factor, etc.), and I would not (could not, since it is a matter of opinion) argue with you, but then that is a different issue.

@Manu T re: Price and Mass Market
Your arguments are circular, inconsistent and difficult to follow. Nevertheless, I do understand where you are going. The point where I believe you are seriously wrong is: "Apple has the best position for the passive consumer market because of their ties with music- and moviesuppliers and unrivaled the success of iTunes-store as a passive media-selling portal." Barring some cataclysmic head injury with an inability to differentiate between a slice of toast and a polar bear with hemorrhoids, I doubt I will ever admit that the cogital abortion known as "iTunes" is a positive in any world.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Sure You Would
You say you'd buy it, but you wouldn't really. Not because you wouldn't want to, but because Apple wouldn't let you until they were done suing its creator out of existence, if possible.
I respect your intent and analysis even while I disagree with your conclusions. Really, touting the low price of an Apple because it is less than a Sony?
I swear
The people who post here sometimes just amaze me with their impenetrable problems and inability to change the smallest of habits (which are generally only the result of their laziness and available funds). Convenience, like most things after all, is a matter of taste, perspective and genetic pre-disposition.
Plus one, though, for admitting the laziness and "more money than sense".
I don't

I buy the item I intend to buy, at the right price and with the right features. If I want accessories, I buy the damn accessories, not an unnecessary money sinkhole. If you buy a piece of technology for its accessories, I submit that you not only bought the wrong technology, but you had no business having that much money to begin with.

Putin takes advantage of right denied his people
I wonder whether Russian President Vladimir Putin enjoyed fully expressing himself? How did it feel to him to criticize a government and a people publicly? That's something he does not allow his own countrymen to do to become better citizens.
Freedom of the press is essential to realizing a better world – not a country, state or dictatorship, just better humans.
MICHELLE JACKSON Fort Wayne
Public being denied change it voted for
Last fall I mailed my friends and neighbors postcards, drove to their houses and walked to their doors. I asked them to support Glenda Ritz for state superintendent in November's election. I did not ask them to vote for any political party or other office, just Ritz for the sake of public education. They listened politely. They did more research. They even said, Thank you for keeping me informed.
In a great show of the democratic process, this scenario happened all across the state. Ritz pulled off what was dubbed a David over Goliath upset. She was the only Democrat to win at the statewide level and received more votes than Mike Pence did for governor.
Hoosiers did not turn out en masse for some popular Hoosier: Ritz was a newcomer. Instead, they voted for a person who represented the change Hoosiers requested for public education. Hoosiers elected Ritz because she represented honest support of education for all, not the denigration of public schools by state officials giving control to private entities.
Friends and neighbors, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that Pence has created duplicative government offices to usurp control of public education from the person we elected. Pence, along with our state representatives, continues to serve their private interests and dismantle public education in great disregard of the public's requests.
The good news is this: We can do it again. We are going to find candidates who support the public's interest. Education accounts for more than half our state's budget. It is a huge priority. If Pence and state officials do not allow Ritz to the job we asked her to do, plan on seeing me again before election day.

No president ever gets a true vacation
Bruce Cynar (Obama's priorities are misplaced, Sept. 5) stated that he thought President Barack Obama should spend less time on vacation and golfing. Let us look at the record of a few presidents.
George W. Bush had 349 vacation days and 58 vacation trips. Ronald Reagan had 180 vacation days on 29 vacation trips. President Obama had 96 vacation days on 15 vacation trips. President Bill Clinton had 84 vacation days on 11 vacation trips.
When it comes to golfing, Obama isn't even close to previous presidents. President Dwight Eisenhower had more than 800 rounds of golf, President Woodrow Wilson had more than 1,000 rounds of golf.
Nancy Reagan said, and it is so true, Presidents don't get vacations. They just get a change of scenery. The job goes with you.
