Bryan Adams Lyrics
With a career spanning over 20 years and worldwide album
sales that rival the biggest recording artists in the
world, Bryan Adams's "I'm just the bass player in the band"
attitude seems rather simple, compared to his career
achievements, but that's just how he is.
His songs have achieved #1 status all over the world, and
his career has seen some amazing recordings with other
music legends from around the world. He holds the record
for the longest running #1 single in British music history
with his hit "(Everything I Do) I Do It For More...

Review about Bryan Adams songs
Reviewer |25/09/2014 | Reviewer: Generalsammy------ About the song Summer Of '69 performed by Bryan Adams
I'm under 25, honestly, i've grown 2 lyk dis song. I mean since when my brother introduced me 2 it. Bryan is a wonderful singer. I see every bit of fun of the 80's from dis music. I must confess, the music of 2day is nothing 2 be compared to the classics of the 80's. I nid more of dis Bryan... Gud work
No, not THAT Diana! | Reviewer: JSG------ About the song Diana performed by Bryan Adams
Unless he has since recanted his earlier denials, This song had no connection to the famous Princess apart from the coincidence of the common female first name Diana. I believe him that he just picked that name because it worked well with the cadence of the lyrics. I mean whichever name he picked, it was going to also belong to somebody famous by chance. Wasn't he dating a series of fashion models back then? Pay attention - the story is about some catwalk model, not the Lady who would have been not yet engaged to "Chuckles" back when the lyrics were being penned.
He just changed the name to protect the guilty and accidentally cursed the song to be forever associated with a completely other person which got it banned in places and made him sick of talking about the non-story (can you blame him? - I think he never played it in concert afterwards). It was released as a cassette single back in the day, between regular studio album releases. It also appeared on a hits collection along the way, if I recall.
It's impossible to prove a non-existent truth that you made up yourself. Poor guy (Not!) Decent song though.

Good song | Reviewer: Paul_------ About the song Summer Of '69 performed by Bryan Adams
Well I'm 15 now and was born in 98 and grew up on classical music such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Rush, Peter Gabriel, Ect... And now younger people are being introduced to 60's 70's and 80's music I think just maybe the 2000's generation may have some potential when it comes to musical careers. Though I could be wrong. Let's wait a few years and see where we get

I love the song! There's something in it that just says "piss off", you know? In this song, I think they're trying to say "you think you're better than me but you're reaaly not". I wish I could sing this song to my mother. Sometimes she's just won't "Get Off My Back"!

Uh-huh (shake ya body body, move ya body body)
Uh-huh (twist ya body body, switch ya body body)
Uh-huh (dip ya body body, work ya body body)
Uh-huh (any-body body, every-body body)
[R. Kelly]
Pub-o, drank-o, 'dro plus the Bev-o
Hands in the air-o, holla like echo
Tone's in the dub with, Momo and Poke-o
Tone be like Kujo, I be like Cecil
Fists rockin like "ADRIIIAN!"
We come through like "Superfriends!"
Tick-tock, tick-tock, it's six o'clock
And the party won't stop, bout to hit the IHOP
Got twenty inch mirrors rollin under the drop
So clap that shit up y'all and make it hot
[R. Kelly]
New York, Chicago, Atlanta, L.A.
Miami crazy like yippie-i-yae
Rude boys in the club smokin on hay
Smoke the choka weed, Cali and the Bay
Real live niggaz – put y'all hands up
Wanna get tossed – drink that liquor
Who's got the industry locked – Kelly and Jigga
Crack my skull – turn that shit up
[R. Kelly]
We got honies everywhere
Corks off the Cris' poppin everywhere
Partyin hard like we just don't care
The best of both worlds, that shit ain't fair
This shit ain't fair
I, am, Jay, Hov'
Mami shake ya body body, don't hurt no-body body
It's me in the God-body, R. Kelly the John Gotti
of R&B thug and me I would say I'm probably
the hardest rapper to ever cop on poppy and
put it in a song, ma how could you go wrong ha? ha? ha? ha?
Worse than a armed robbery
Know that I'm armed properly, whenever the arm's rocky
You can go on clockin me, ain't nuttin gon' stop me
High as Allah I be, movin in peace but I
move with the piece, so them, dudes in the streets
will never remove my piece, ha? ha?, got me
Niggaz'll never get me, I never move sloppy
Move with the glock-50, got some Tupac with me
Let's not test my gangsta, just, raise your glasses
Mami, shake ya asses, this is a thug classic
[Lil' Kim]
Make a hole make a hole and let the Queen come past
I come through in the speedboat, with 808's in the glass
Push big things here, bet most of y'all crash
Back to trainin lightweights, you in the wrong weight class
Haters, stay awake, fuck the Harlem Shake
We "Slam" dance like Onyx, check my ebonics
You got, heat nigga you thinkin we won't blaze?
Gotta come hard cause these are the last days
When I, do it I do's it, ain't no more to it (word)
Ask Ice Cube, I puts my back into it
From car dealers to Macy's, to cashiers that brace me
We train like the Navy for whatever the case may be
I pass on the 6, they don't impress me much
I want the bulletproof 7 cause the doors lift up
They pick the best of all girls, so how y'all sound?
I got the best of both worlds, holdin me down
[R] Uh-huh!

As the Civil War ground on, an underground Unionist movement flourished in the heart of the Confederacy, led by an unlikely leader. Elizabeth Van Lew, a wealthy and well connected member of Richmond's elite, risked everything to help save the Union, skillfully directing this clandestine group and becoming General Ulysses S. Grant's spy in Richmond. Surrounded by a cadre of "slaves" secretly freed and working with her at the risk of their lives--and hers--Lizzie becomes a pivotal character in the narrative that reveals the complexity and horror of war and the possibility of ultimate redemption. Based on an incredible true story, Lizzie's War revolves around a number of elements: the intrigue involved in Elizabeth's double life, her scheme to plant a former slave as her spy in the Jefferson Davis home , her secret romance with a Union prisoner , the dangerous work and conspiracies entailed in running a spy network for the Federal Government in the Confederate capital , terrifying flights to freedom engineered by Elizabeth for escaped prisoners and slaves, and ongoing Confederate surveillance, investigations and arrests of Unionists.

Man, I haven't done pony artwork in a while, and I will admit, it's the reason why most of you are watching me. I should probably start working on a few new comics sometime next month.
In the meantime, have a sketch of a comic I wrote:

And here's the finished comic:

Dangerous Recipe of Music+Money+Satan+Lies+Illuminati
Hey my MJ friends,
This isn't about our sweetheart MJ... specifically. I read a tweet about this, so I looked into it a bit further to find somethingof substance to post for you here. Yes, the source uses that name.
I just thought, when you read towards the bottom, (actually all of its interestly eye opening right now considering) you'll be intrigued based on our recent conversations.
Peace & Love,
Tiffany Evans Blasts Rihanna's "Russian Roulette"
Written by Necole b*****ie under b*****ie Chicks, Celebrities
Singer Tiffany Evans (best known for her stint on Star Search & single Promise Ring ft Ciara) blasted Rihanna's new single "Russian Roulette" earlier today via twitter. Peep her vent below:
Russian Roulette= Suicidal Rate gon sky rocket!
You gotta watch what u say. Because there are a lot of weak people in the world. They are susceptible to anything so anything you say or do some people actually do listen. So make sure its nothing bad. Its okay to be deep,but not murder deep.
Man! I really wish I could tell you guys what the industry really is and what stars are apart of destroying this world. The stars who worship satan,and those who have killed to get the respect they have now. You'd be verrrry surprise. Some of your favorite people pretend to worship God but they only do that to save face. Or seem innocent.
Satan was head of music in heaven. He uses influential people…to help influence the world. Think about that. Once u make a certain amount of money. Just know that that's when they ask u to join. To get in you have accept the beast, worship. Once you join they assist u with ur career.make u huge.only if u agree and obey to destroy Gods word.and his children.
Ppl listen and pay attention. Its a war going on right now between Good and Evil. Evil will rule this world for a min. The people that have this power are the people that RULE the whole world. I'm done I won't say anymore before I get in trouble.
Tiffany's controversial tweets are centered around the "rumored corruption and brainwashing that goes on behind the scenes of the entertainment industry, often referred to as a group called the Illuminati".
If you've never heard of the Illuminati before, it's basically a group or organization of powerful people in the industry that brainwash audiences with hidden messages in songs, music video's, political campaigns etc. Stars such as Kanye West, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Matthew Knowles have all been accused of being involved, as have various politicians and actors.
Rihanna did not write the lyrics so I think we'd have to inquire with Ne-Yo about this, however Tiffany does have a point in regards to the messages that are sent in today's music.

We cannot be saved until we have risen above all our enemies, not the least of which is ignorance.Joseph Smith

Written by Ronald Scaglia Friday, 09 November 2012 00:00
At a special Nov. 5 village board meeting, which was held because of the postponement of the previous week's meeting due to the hurricane, the board attended to routine business. However, one glance at the faces of the board members, and it was easy to see that the past week has been anything but routine. With Massapequa and Massapequa Park having been hit so destructively by the massive storm, local officials have been constantly working to attend to the needs of the residents, and it was easy to see the toll it has taken, as the normally upbeat board members looked tired and weary.
Adding to their fatigue is frustration with the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA). A week after the storm hit, village residents, including some village officials, remained without power.
"It's dark and cold," said Trustee Tina Schiaffino about areas within the village in which power had not been restored.
"Residents are uncomfortable leaving their homes," added Trustee Teresa Spinosa, who explained that many were staying in the frigid and extremely uncomfortable conditions, afraid to leave their homes unoccupied.
Mayor James Altadonna expressed similar exasperation at LIPA's delay in getting electricity restored to village residents. In the days after the storm, village hall was opened so residents could get a hot cup of coffee, a meal, charge a cell phone, and just escape the awful conditions of living without power in a storm damaged area. Many of those residents have asked the mayor for help, and he seemed infuriated at not having information that he could pass on.
"All of our frustrations come from LIPA's inability to provide timely information that we can disseminate to our residents," said Altadonna.
Schiaffino added that while living without power is difficult enough, not knowing when the power may be restored adds to the angst. She also took issue with LIPA's efforts to communicate meaningful information to its customers and local officials.
"There's no hope," she said of the power situation. "There's no end in sight. There is a lack of communication."
Altadonna added that he is not only frustrated by the lack of communication, but at LIPA's delay in getting power restored to all residents. He stated that after the long delays in restoring power after Hurricane Irene, the village responded to LIPA's issues from that storm in an attempt to prevent long delays in power restoration from occurring with Sandy. However, despite the village's efforts, eight days after the storm, many Massapequa Park residents did not have power.
"We learned from Irene that the impediments were the trees and the wires," said Altadonna. "That was the excuse for LIPA not to clean up and restore power in a timely fashion. We knew this storm was going to be very large and dangerous. The village hired an outside tree crew that was comfortable working with the wires and that also had the proper equipment. They cleared the village of all trees in the road. By Tuesday, LIPA had more than a third of the village open to restoration. We did not see a LIPA truck until Friday."
Spinosa said that local officials participated in twice daily conference calls with LIPA officials. She said that although those calls were meant to keep local officials updated in the situation, all the calls did was add to the frustration.
"There was no restoration plan despite what they had told us," said Spinosa, who was visibly frustrated by LIPA's efforts. "They were unorganized. They had conference calls twice per day and there were never any updates."
Congressman Peter King has expressed similar dissatisfaction with LIPA. In a statement released by his office, the congressman called on the power authority to immediately remedy its poor customer service and improve its inadequate sharing of information with residents who are without power.
LIPA's failure to keep customers informed of the latest information on conditions and improvements is simply unacceptable," King said in the statement. "County Executive Mangano and I have heard so many complaints from many Long Island towns and neighborhoods about the 'arrogant' and unhelpful attitude of so many of LIPA employees as well as LIPA's failure to respond to legitimate inquiries from those without power."
New York State Senator Charles Fuschillo had a similar opinion. When contacted by the Massapequan Observer, he stated, "I'm extremely disappointed with the performance of LIPA. They knew this storm was coming. Their preparation and communication has been a complete failure."
In other village news, the public hearing to consider the bid for a taxi franchise by Long Island Checker Cab Corporation was held. No questions were asked. Long Island Checker Cab was the only corporation to submit a bid. The board also authorized the mayor to enter into an agreement with the county to accept $37,500 for the restoration of homes. The board also authorized the mayor to execute a nondisclosure agreement with National Grid concerning the Morwood Oaks' municipal gross receipts tax audits for the village. The mayor explained that the company is auditing what the village gets paid from franchise fees to make sure the village is getting paid properly. The board also approved two sign permits and a mother/daughter application, authorized budget modifications and also authorized the village administrator to advertise the 2013 village election. The board also authorized an auditor's report of the Justice Court. Altadonna said he was very happy about that report, as it was, as he described, "pristine."

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow has unveiled a plan in suburban Detroit designed to boost states' high-skilled job-training programs.
The Michigan Democrat said Tuesday that the New Skills for New Jobs Act would build on efforts in Michigan and several other states that are helping community colleges work with local businesses to provide worker training.
Stabenow's bill would provide a federal match equal to the state training reimbursement from efforts such as the Michigan New Jobs Training Program. The plan would repay community colleges for the training more quickly and aims to increase the number of eligible companies and workers.
Businesses have said that they are having trouble finding qualified workers for many skilled jobs.
She shared details of the proposal at Oakland Community College's Advanced Technology Center in Auburn Hills.
The senator will be at Lansing Community College's West Campus talking to the media about the program Wednesday.

text: Critics Ignore Strong Spiritual Themes in Terrence Malick's Latest Films Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart News 1 May 2013 post a comment Director Terrence Malick inspires fierce debates in film critic circles, although the prevailing wisdom says he's a first-rate auteur even when his movies disappoint. Most critics still swung and missed while covering the spiritual content in his last two films, The Tree of Life and To the Wonder, according to writer Damon Linker. Linker, a contributor to The New Republic, is no apologist for the faithful. He's the author behind The Theocons, and in his opening paragraphs he says Christianity deserves the bad press it so often receives. His latest piece spells out Malick's spiritual intentions all the same while chiding critics for either ignoring or giving them too little attention. Both The Tree of Life (2011) and the just-released To the Wonder are deeply Christian in outlook and inspiration — and both demonstrate the religion's continued power to serve as a vital cultural and intellectual force. Mainstream critics hardly seem to have noticed. The problem isn't that reviews of the films have been negative. (Many critics praised The Tree of Life, while To the Wonder has been widely panned.) The problem is that, regardless of whether they've admired or ridiculed the films, the vast majority of mainstream critics have failed to treat them as the profoundly religious — and specifically Christian — works of art that they are. Whether or not the silence is a product of the theological illiteracy and scriptural ignorance that typically prevails among overwhelmingly secular journalists, something essential about these remarkable films has been missed.


text: Daily Kos Poll: Romney Leads by 2, Big Gains with Women, Independents Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 9 Oct 2012 post a comment In line with last night's Pew poll and what we're hearing will be a positive Gallup poll today, the left-wing Daily Kos has just released a poll with more bad news for Barack Obama. Not only is Mitt Romney in the lead 49-47%, he's also consolidating his base and making huge gains with women and Independents: So where did Romney gain? Among women, Obama went from a 15-point lead to a slimmer 51-45 edge. Meanwhile, Romney went from winning independents 44-41 to winning them 48-42. And just like the Ipsos poll showed last week, Romney further consolidated his base. They went from supporting him 85-13 last week, to 87-11 this week while Obama lost some Democrats, going from 88-9 last week, to 87-11 this week. It's important to note that this poll was taken immediately after Romney's sterling debate performance and does not include much of a sample after Friday, when the suspiciously positive jobs numbers gave Obama a boost. In the wake of that news, both the Gallup and Rasmussen tracking polls showed Romney's post-debate bounce deflating some. What the Daily Kos poll does show us, however, is that Romney can do better with women and can graze the magic number of 50 nationally. That means he can do it again. If I had to guess, I'd say the race is now tied but the momentum and trend is all with Romney, and that's the important thing. Moreover, the nightmare that both the Obama campaign and his Media Palace Guards fought so hard to keep from coming true, just did. In a single debate over ninety short minutes, Mitt Romney destroyed the half-billion dollar caricature the Obama campaign and the media built around him. 70 million people saw the real Mitt Romney -- and what they saw was a man they could accept as president. Team Obama and the corrupt media had crafted a "devil you know" game plan that would toxify Romney into someone voters couldn't bring themselves to vote for -- even when faced with another four failed years like the last four failed years. Well, the game plan just blew up in their face, and we now have a real race on our hands. And for the first time in months, today, I'd rather be us than them. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

Curiosity kills the KitKat.
From the article: "The KitKat dialler in Android now calls home." This brings up a curiosity-driven question.
Let's say I would like to get a new smartphone in 2014, not necessarily in the 1st half of it. Let's say that a mandatory requirement is minimal snooping (if I access GMail then Google/NSA will snoop, but that's a GMail "feature", not a smartphone feature; ditto telco call logs). I need the functionality of Nokia 6230 + somewhat usable email and web (with Ghostery+ABP or equivalent). I do NOT care about "apps" beyond that. I do care about build quality, reliability, usability, quality of sound, contact list and calendar functions, and battery life. Shouldn't send me into bankruptcy too early.
Is there anything (GSM) in the pipeline anywhere that would fit the bill? With any OS? Is anyone thinking about marketing a privacy-oriented smartphone? Would it be a popular value proposition? Suggestions of manufacturers/models to follow?
Or is downgrading to 6230 (mine is still functional) the only choice?
Re: Curiosity kills the KitKat.
AFAIK, there is no smartphone that is slurping/phone home proof. Sad really.
I pensioned off my Smartphone almost a year ago and reverted to my old simple cameraless Nokia. It does not have a GPS in it either.
I have to use a smartphone for work. I only use it for making phone calls and texting related to work. No emails no web browsing. It is only switched on when I'm not in the office during work hours and never while I am at home. At least it is not registered in my name.
Am I being overly paranoid? Probably but as someone who had their Identity Stolen I can't be too careful.
Re: Curiosity kills the KitKat.
In this theoretical, are we assuming the 6230 does not "call home"?
It makes calls/texts. The delivery is not direct to the next user. IE, there is never a secure connection.
Re: Curiosity kills the KitKat.
I imagine the calling home in the new dialler is basically to search the web for alternate possibilities you want to call rather than anything nefarious. That said it does give Google another source of information about you. Rather than Google getting the number you dialled, I expect they get the search query you typed into the dialler, i.e. "Michael".
While I'm not a fan of the dialler calling home, the network operators and thus the secret services in $country already collect information about what calls you make, the number, when and duration. By linking the dialler search to this they can potentially add in a name (assuming the number you're dialling is PAYG and not registered to a user already).
So by downgrading to a 6230, you're removing the search snoop from the dialler, but the governments still know who you called, when, and from what cell site.
Re: Curiosity kills the KitKat.
Off the top of my head, I can think of three makes...
- "Nokia" Asha (although they're sold by Microsoft now, depends how tightly you're wearing your tinfoil hat)
Re: Curiosity kills the KitKat.
The dialer doesn't phone home, that's pathetic spin, what it does, is if a incoming call number isn't recognised, it tries to look it up using known business number database.
It's actually rather useful, and I'm sure the pathetic spin will stop when Windows Phone gets this feature in 2025 (which I unlikely, as if their marketshare carries on dropping/stagnating, it won't be around past 2017).
Re: Curiosity kills the KitKat.
While not implying that they would be phone home proof, I for one would have more trust on the smaller players, especially the open source ones. So, Firefox, Sailfish or Ubuntu then.
Funny though that none are marketed with privacy. Would be quite eager for one.
Re: Curiosity kills the KitKat.
It isn't possible to have a cellular phone that doesn't track your position every minute of the day. How do you think it finds you to route your calls? Magic?
Re: Curiosity kills the KitKat.
You know how Google does these things... slurp data and find out what most people agree on. Do we know if business (or at least business at roll out) phone numbers are determined by slurping Android users' contacts?
I would much rather have as few ways of giving up data as possible. I know the network needs to know where I am, but I also know the dialler doesn't need to send data to the chocolate factory (plus any intelligence agencies along the way).
Re: Curiosity kills the KitKat.
Re: Curiosity kills the KitKat.
@Mikel: No, my calls don't need location information to be routed. The information that is needed is which tower the handset communicates with. You cannot determine location from that. If several towers get a signal from the handset, measure the signal strength, correlate it, *and record it* then my location may be determined with an accuracy of maybe a few hundred meters (down to a few dozen meters in city centres, depending on the tower density, obstacles, etc.).
I suspect you might also think that someone needs to know your precise location for you to navigate using GPS. Think again.
And on a general note: even if some location information were needed for an essential service such as call routing, It would not be a problem in itself. The problem arises when such information is recorded long term (e.g., long after bills are paid), *identifiably*. E.g., the mobile service provider might want to keep a record of which towers were involved in originating and terminating calls, for traffic analysis. They would not need real phone numbers or IMEIs or anything like that for such analysis. So if they do keep such info, it is for some other purpose.
Re: Curiosity kills the KitKat.
I'd suggest a nexus 5, with one of the many custom ROMs loaded onto it, without gapps.
No Google slurping, and still fully functional. apps can be got from f-droid (open source app store)

They keep it for legal reasons. Location information - using triangulation and moving from cell to cell - has been used to prove the location of individuals in prosecutions. If you carry a cellphone, your location is tracked.
Re: Curiosity kills the KitKat.
Both Microsoft and Apple are less interested in slurping, at least on a corporate level. As mentioned in the article, Microsoft attempts to differentiate itself on this point. I don't believe any are NSA proof. The Nokia 720 is probably the closest you'll get to being both Smartphone while getting the basics (i.e. battery life, reception and call quality) right.
Very interesting thoughts. Personally for me Google has been the big winner this year with Chromebooks and Tablets and its new budget Android phone the Moto G, no doubt they will see a good 2014 but I suspect Android phone sales will decline somewhat if MS keep pushing lower end phones. Microsoft whilst struggling with Laptops / Desktops has finally managed to make a small dent in the Mobile market and has the chance to just have Nokia making Windows phones and gain the benefits from having as much control as Apple whilst being more flexible in models offered. Apple has stood still, I think the next two years are critical for them. If they don't manage to make big waves with something they might give Microsoft an opportunity to catch up - or perhaps a new party. Samsung have had a good year but I get the feeling they don't know why.They still have a far less refined Android experience on their phones than HTC or Motorola (I have the Samsung Note 3) and I can't see them going anywhere amazing next year. They need to work on timely updates and not filling their phones full of rubbish. They also are threatened on the low end by superior phones such as the Nokia 620 and the Moto G. HTC I suspect will get better as people forget how rubbish their first HTC was, especially if they concentrate on fewer phones. Blackberry have not had a good year, Can't see a way forward for them at the moment but suspect someone will buy them. Perhaps Samsung or HP / Dell (two other companies with not so promising futures).
Just my thoughts! Perhaps I should be an Analyst
Samsung know why...
Because they spend an unbelievable amount marketing their devices - it often looks like there are no other devices available. Only phone stores have advertising for other phones (almost always iPhones). The cinema currently has nice (weird) adverts for HTC featuring Robert Downey Junior which obviously aren't cheap and Nokia have a nice, but much cheaper ad, showing off the 1020. But Samsung have the EE ad with Mr bacon at every performance of every movie on a continuing basis - they even get to advertise the watch they have so much extra bandwidth.
I saw an ad for mobiles.co.uk that gave you TWO Galaxy tabs 'free' with a Galaxy something phone (not an S4, something cheaper). It was about 27 per month but his and hers tabs free made a compelling case if you happened to be in the marker or knew someone to sell a tab or two to.
I am sure if I really looked at an HTC One against the Galaxy S4, I would choose the HTC One, for sound and looks and various other features (don't know if an overheating issue I read about is real or not) but a casual purchaser (which seems an oxymoron for things like this but also seems to be true) would often plump for the S4 because "they are everywhere so must be good". Of course, I am sure S4 are completely ok but still not the best value for money and not always suited to the user that buys them.
So, Mozilla...
... is pulling in $300m a year from Google and doesn't produce much in the way of new stuff. Why, then, does it "have to fundraise" as well (see the Firefox default home page)?
Re: So, Mozilla...
Well, there is a simple answer to that. Mozilla presents itself as a "community" based browser. It would be happier if we all forgot that it is funded by the Gorilla that is Google.

Well, surplus is kicked up into the Mozilla Foundation which currently has ~130 million USD invested in financial instruments. There is no reason to drive around with the balls near the concrete, is there?
OTOH, why not find out and write it up?
Starting points:
Mozilla Corporation and Foundation
Re: "Big numbers scare me"
"There is no reason to drive around with the balls near the concrete, is there?"
That's true enough. It's the way they word it though. Here is the actual text on the current default Mozilla home page:
"Mozilla, the maker of Firefox, is a non-profit and we rely on donations.
If everyone reading this gave $3, we would only have to fundraise 1 day a year. Donate before the year ends."
It sounds rather like they're begging for cash to stay afloat, in much the same way Wikipedia does (and apparently doesn't really need to).
That's quite an interesting link though, Ohloh estimating the cost of Firefox development to be around $170m per year. If I wasn't sat in the office "working" during the Christmas/ New Year 'lull' I might be tempted to actually do a bit of research on this.
Re: So, Mozilla...
"Well, there is a simple answer to that. Mozilla presents itself as a "community" based browser. It would be happier if we all forgot that it is funded by the Gorilla that is Google."
Surely "guerilla" would be more appropriate...?
Re: "Big numbers scare me"
I disagree. Mozilla produce tons of stuff, just look at how many versions of Firefox came out this year!
Everyone should keep a pre-2003 Nokia mobile...

If the sh*t hit the fan big time its the phone I would take.
Re: Everyone should keep a pre-2003 Nokia mobile...
Excellent choice. Old Nokias make great weapons.
Title? What title?
Nice article. When Apple stuck a phone into an iPod it revolutionised the smart phone segment. I can't see where the next big breakthrough will come from as 2014 looks to be more of what we had in 2013.
Smart watches I think will be a fad. Google glasses may get some traction but I doubt they will go mainstream next year. Some people are paying thousands of pounds to get their eye's lasered so they don't have to wear glasses.
I'll have a beer, sit back and see what happens.
Re: Title? What title?
I'm with you on the google glasses, you're spot on about the laser eye surgery. Did wonder how they'd work for people who already wear glasses though.
I think the smart watch might be a bit more of a viable idea, but I'd hang off until battery life is a bit longer.
Can I join you for that beer?
Re: Title? What title?
Some people may have their eyes lasered, but some != all, or even a majority. (Personally I'd need to have a really strong prescription before I'd allow anything like that near the only two eyes you get.)
No, I don't think Google Glass will go mainstream in 2014. Only a small percentage of cars have HUDs and rear parking cameras, despite their considerable advantages. The question is whether demand will increase, and I suspect it will. The number of people walking along with the eyes fixed on phones is sufficient evidence that a lot of people don't mind looking odd, and each one of them is a possible GG buyer when the UI gets good enough.
glasses and lasers
"Some people are paying thousands of pounds to get their eye's lasered so they don't have to wear glasses"
They still wear sunglasses when it's sunny. People don't like having to wear glasses just to see normally, this doesn't mean they won't wear glasses which provide additional functionality (like internet or not going blind).
Someone must have been sleeping through the Summer of Surveillance.
But unless the technology industry supports consumer demands for consumer sovereignty, acknowledging that we actually own our own data...
You "own" no "own" data.
In the sphere of the so-called "civil society contract" (a blank contract which apparently one signs when conceived), you are a naked worm to be fingered, stopped, questioned, indexed, briefed, debriefed and numbered. As well as metadata-hoovered. Apparently people don't care too much. Don't tell me you "own" any data.
In the sphere of private contracts, Google may X-ray you as you use their services for "free". There are no "consumer demands" and there is no demand for "consumer sovereignity" (whatever that is) and hoping for a "scandal" to "fix" things is bonkers. What form would that scandal take? ("Single mom safeway shopping information leaked! Film at 11 - After Miley Cyrus' latest arsewiggle...") The good thing is, you can always refuse those services and there are some legal restrictions on data aggregations, with more in the pipe.
No mention of Galaxy Gear watches?
This was a massive mess up, very expensive but not much benefit.
I got a couple of pebbles for the family for Christmas to try them out and at $150 a shot they are not bad.
No touch screen, but great when your out and about shopping so that you don't need to hear your phone to know that the rest of the family have finished clothes shopping and you can go home :)
Just getting the SDK to start programming them should be fun :D
All of us have found the pebble very useful a good product from a kickstart project and a decent product, plus doesn't need charging everyday :)
HTC Continue to Alienate
HTC Continue to alienate some power users (myself included) that have multiple MicroSD cards full of media. And without doubt, these same people also require multiple batteries (Although this can be augmented by a portable charger but it's still not as convenient). Note, this also becomes incredibly handy when you figure in that the same media and cards can also be used on my tablet.
Give me a MicroSD slot AND removable batteries and I'll be all over HTC like a rash. Until then? I'll be sticking with an S4 (5/6/7....?)
And the same backpackers are not allowed in the UK/European markets by the very cartelised distribution channels and their "partners" who cream off the bulk of the profits.
A good Android smartphone should not be more than £60 to £80 (as has been proved by Moto g et al) and the Chinese producers, due to the current economies of scale.
Just why are we drip fed and rippped off regularly, is what needs explaining, Andrew.
Re: Backpackers @gautam
Cellphone makers' collaboration with telcos is clearly a cartel. They absolutely dominate the retail market for phones. Presumably why we can only source twin SIM phones in the UK via the grey market.
Is it really true that if you buy a SIM free iPhone it may lock to the first telco whose SIM is inserted ? Long saga in a tech forum from someone who sent his brand new iPhone to a firm to have the case customised and they probably tested it by inserting a SIM. When he got it back and put in his own SIM he was locked out.
May not be the same scenario, but I discovered recently that a discarded Nokia 100 that was previously usable with T-Mobile, worked only with Vodafone after inserting a Voda SIM card. Frustrating, as I was going to donate it to a friend who is with Orange -- he can buy a new one for just £10 but why should he have to ?
Time the EU commissioner looked at breaking up the cartel so that telcos sell airtime and retailers like Argos and Amazon sell the phones unlocked and at competitive prices.
Re: Backpackers @gautam
This causes quite a bit of confusion - If you buy an iPhone from Apple, it is truly SIM-unlocked, you can swap SIMs as much as you like and it will never lock you to a network. However, buy an iPhone from the likes of O2/Orange or somewhere like Carphone Warehouse and it will arrive in an unlocked state, but as soon as you insert a SIM (which you need to do to set up and activate the phone) it will lock to that network.
In other words, all iPhones come unlocked, but if it was sold to work on a specific network (even PAYG), it will lock as soon as the SIM is inserted.
iOS 7
Many people, offered the old look-and-feel with the new control panel and gestures, say they would gladly swap.
When exactly did you perform this survey? Was it one week after it's release?
or was it at the start of the month when three-quarters of users are now using the new OS?
Re: iOS 7
What are you saying?
That the 75% install rate for an update that your phone constantly tries to push to you, which most people probably install "because it's newer so is probably better", or "because this latest app requires it", with no possible way back to the previous version if you don't like it, is a proof that people prefer that version?
Re: iOS 7
There's a big difference between preference and waking up one morning to "Oh, my phone has an upgrade ready. I'd better allow it."
Re: iOS 7
Only if you are a moron
Re: iOS 7
a bit of circular logic there. You have an iphone already,so you get ios7, surely that is a given ?
Re: iOS 7
What are you saying?
I was saying that that the phrase "most people... would gladly swap" was offered with absolutely no evidence that it was anything more than made up for the article. IF it were the case that >50% of people would rather have the old version, you'd have think they'd have be loud and shouty about the fact and the other 50% of the users would have heard and NOT upgraded their phones from iOS 6. Instead, the El Reg articles I quoted suggest that more and more people have upgraded over time. If they are all upgrading, as you suggest, because the phone is pushing it on you, then at the very least it suggests that those who have already upgraded are really THAT concerned about the new style, because they aren't going out of their way to warn others. In fact, the only people going out of their way appears to be tech journalists - but is that really because they object to the new OS interface? Or just because they know that an article about Apple anything is click-bait and garners more advertising revenue?
Paranoid Android
Google offered me the "vanity URL" for G+, so it would be my username instead of a 32 digit number.
The catch? "You must verify your mobile phone number by entering a code sent in a text message (SMS), before you can claim a custom URL."
You can't get the URL w/o giving them your mobile number. Nice try, Google.
Note this is on a webpage that I had to log into, from a link in an email that they sent me. There is no need to verify anything.
Re: Paranoid Android
Agree on the fail but in my case I don't have a phone. Any phone. And prefer it that way. [Then again who in Hell, aside from sales or campaign staff would even want to talk at me.]
Re: Paranoid Android
This malarky of trying to extract your mobile phone number is so transparent.
Yahoo tried this but (presumably) but gave up when everyone ignored them
Microsoft tried to strongarm Hotmail users on security grounds, in case one got locked out (ho, ho).
Unlike Google, MS had the decency to give one the option of disclosing an alternative e-mail address. As I also didn't wish to see that sold to the highest bidder, I gave my Facebook mail address -- which, of course, just leads back to my Hotmail address (ho,ho to them).
Apple has made it pretty clear...
that they don't run their company to please Wall Street. For the most part, they release products when they're ready as opposed to when they need something to please "analysts" (the Maps app is a notable exception - yes they were getting sandbagged by Google, but what a mess). And good for them. They're still far from perfect, but the industry is otherwise mostly saturated with half-baked crap with user interfaces designed by software engineers and software engineering done by English literature majors. The loss of the Iron Fist of Jobs is clearly felt, but the overall philosophies seem to be holding... for now. They'll release a watch or television if and when it delivers the user experience they want, and if that means waiting for materials or battery or manufacturing technologies to catch up then so be it. Heck, look at how long they sat on the iPad project for... something like a decade from start to release, but it was the first tablet "done right." You only get one shot at a product launch, something Microsoft never seemed to learn. It didn't hurt them too badly when they were the 800-kg gorilla, but it's just sad and pathetic to watch now that they're not.
Android was always destined for a race to the bottom - if Samsung hadn't designed some highly desirable phones they'd have massive numbers and near-zero profits (except for Google). Even now, it seems that a Samsung split is inevitable - rumor is they're looking to revive MeeGo or some other mobile distro. They don't need Google anymore, and why use a commodity OS that helps keep the low-end competitors afloat and always nipping at your heels (and margins!)?
As much as I loathe Blackberry as a company (and BES as an atrocious pile of buggy bloatware), I'm kind of sad to see the BB10 software die. If you have to build a new mobile system, using QNX as the core is a pretty damned good idea if you're into things like stability, reliability, and security. Too bad they're about half a decade too late on that...
Looks like for 2014 I'll be staying in Apple's camp, by default. They're still the only company that consistently crosses my line of "eh, good enough."
Re: Apple has made it pretty clear...
I don't follow your logic re Samsung. If low-cost Android is always eating your bottom, it makes little difference which OS you are using, because most phone users are not interested in it. We're at a stage where, from a software point of view, all the major OSes are good enough and sales are based on something else. To use the inevitable car analogy, Diesel and spark ignition both are highly developed and have well defined use cases. VW Audi Gruppe is not about to go Wankel or gas turbine because Kia are expanding fast. Samsung's problem is that it has paid insufficient attention to user interfaces, not operating systems.
As for Wall Street, it runs on emotion, not logic. Apple does run its company to please Wall Street, it's just that they want to be seen as a stock with long term serious growth potential rather than a pump and dump opportunity. Your pension fund may have different priorities from the Goldman Sachs boiler rooms, which is why Apple runs differently from Facebook.
Re: Apple has made it pretty clear...
If low-cost Android is always eating your bottom
Hey - the tech-sex article is over there.
Profitless Android
In 2013 nearly 1 billion Android devices were sold. Not 1 billion so far for all years - 1 billion for one year. Roughly 800 million phones and 200 million tablets. One device for every seven living humans. Made of a billion lithium batteries, a billion circuit boards and touchscreens, over a billion tiny cameras. Made in hundreds of factories and sold in hundreds of thousands of retail establishments all over the world. Designed in dozens of high-rise office buildings by busy engineers.
Pick an average selling price: $100, $150, $200? That is a lot of money.
And you would have us believe that nobody but Samsung managed to skim a profit off of all this activity? Where did the money to hire the engineers, build the factories, stock the shelves, hire the sales and delivery men come from? More importantly, why? Why would hundreds of competing business interests all over the world conspire to create the greatest technology shift the world has ever known - and exactly break even? Altruism?
It makes no sense. A more likely explanation is that profit is being made and you aren't being told about it.
Re: Profitless Android
Agreed. There would have to be knock-on effects or we would be seeing firms exit the market. Not enter the market in ever increasing numbers. Putting on the econometrician hat, something is not being measured, but what that is, I don't know.
Re: Profitless Android
"And you would have us believe that nobody but Samsung managed to skim a profit off of all this activity? Where did the money to hire the engineers, build the factories, stock the shelves, hire the sales and delivery men come from?"
Since profit comes after not only salary and manufacturing, but paying fat bonuses and investing in R&D, it's entirely possible that the prospect of a seven-figure salary is a motivation after ploughing all 'profit' into future product development.

Follow the money on state websiteBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | January 05,2013MONTPELIER Stung by a D-minus rating for government transparency last year by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, the Shumlin administration has launched an online information center where it says citizens will be able to find out what Montpelier is doing with their tax dollars.
Gov. Peter Shumlin said the new website www.spotlight.vermont.gov offers a portal into the inner financial workings of state government.
Any citizen can go in there and see how revenues come into the state, how their money is spent and what were doing with their tax dollars, Shumlin said.
His office has also launched an online dashboard www.governor.vermont.gov that aggregates key quality-of-life metrics in a single website. Shumlin said the public can use the dashboard to judge his progress on things like job creation, rates of recidivism, unemployment and highway fatalities.
This is all about accountability, Shumlin said.
The administration said the new tools are a work in progress. For instance, under the Economy section of the governors dashboard Friday morning, the website said Vermont had the fourth-lowest unemployment rate in the nation. In fact, its 5.2 percent seasonally adjusted jobless rate in November ties it for seventh lowest in the country, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Itll be corrected before the end of the day, said Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding.
And it was. The site by early afternoon reflected the accurate figure.
The fiscal transparency site for the most part aggregates graphs, charts and spreadsheets already being compiled by various state departments and the Legislatures Joint Fiscal Office. By providing residents with a one-stop shop for information they might otherwise have to spend hours combing the web to find, Shumlin said, the site will let them hold government to account.
Deputy Finance Commissioner Sue Zeller has spearheaded the transparency effort and said the site has been designed around the criteria used by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group to rate states.
Shumlin also unveiled a State of Vermont 2012-2015 Strategic Plan that he said charts the core mission of state government over the next four years. It is available online at http://aoa.vermont.gov.

The Milky Way Project. Photojournal: NASA's Image Access Home Page. Images. Voyager - The Interstellar Mission. Realtime Image Gallery. Picture of the Week. In this new Hubble image, we can see an almost face-on view of the galaxy NGC 1084.
At first glance, this galaxy is pretty unoriginal. Like the majority of galaxies that we observe it is a spiral galaxy, and, as with about half of all spirals, it has no bar running through its loosely wound arms. However, although it may seem unremarkable on paper, NGC 1084 is actually a near-perfect example of this type of galaxy — and Hubble has a near-perfect view of it. NGC 1084 has hosted several violent events known as supernovae — explosions that occur when massive stars, many times more massive than the Sun, approach their twilight years. As the fusion processes in their cores run out of fuel and come to an end, these stellar giants collapse, blowing off their outer layers in a violent explosion.

Now they have uncovered ET amino-acids in meteorite fragments that landed in northern Sudan. The meteorite was a fragment of a parent asteroid measuring 13-feet-wide (4m), and weighing 59-tons. Scientists were given the first opportunity to observe a celestial object before it entered our atmosphere in October 2008 after a collision about 15 million years ago sent the asteroid closer to Earth. During expeditions in the Sudanese desert, scientists later recovered nearly 600 meteorite fragments from the meteor shower.

Play Secret Santa With Your Twitter Network
If Secret Santa gifts weren't an option at your office this year, you can still participate in the holiday tradition -- on Twitter. The Great Twitter Secret Santa pairs you up with another Twitter user you're following or who follows you to be his or her Secret Santa. The sign-up is open until tomorrow. On December 13, participants will receive their match and can then mail a Secret Santa gift to his or her assigned match.
