Peter Marcus Hairdressing
our News
Good news for those of you who are embarking on a big night out this weekend – Peter Marcus will be styling hair at Selfridges Manchester until June 11th!
Selfridges is the epitome of style and class, and our pop-up is no different! We'll have stylists on hand on the top floor of the Exchange Square store for the next month, ready to blow dry and curl your hair to perfection. You can swing by any time – just look for the Peter Marcus logo!
Have a great weekend and we hope to see you soon!
Easter weekend brought blue skies and warm sun in Manchester. But while you were slapping on the sun cream, what measures were you taking to protect your hair? UV rays, humidity levels and high temperatures may leave your hair feeling dry, faded or greasy on warm days – but don't worry, there are a few ways to stay ahead of the game…
Avoid using heat on your hair. While you probably won't want to spend a warm afternoon glued to your straightener, it's also good for your hair to go as natural as possible on hot days. Try a sea salt spray on hair that has been braided or pin curled while wet for a stylish yet heat-free look.
Maintain the moisture in your hair by using a deep conditioning treatment once a week. This will stop the breakdown of the hair's protein caused by UV exposure. A hair mask which actually contains keratin is even better. But…
Don't go overboard with the conditioner. If your hair is prone to greasiness or oiliness, try using a lighter conditioner during summer so as not to weigh the hair down.
Try a darker shade. While blonde shades are very much a summer trend, if your hair is dry in texture, it will only get worse by adding peroxide and UV rays into the mix. Why not use this season to stand out from the crowd and try deep chocolate or vibrant red?
Protect your head! It's so important to protect your hair at the root, and this includes the scalp. Hats are an obvious solution, but using a high factor sun cream along your parting can also prevent burning and flaking. In addition, SPF shampoos, conditioners and even hairsprays are readily available at this time of year, so now's the time to stock up!
The summers can be hit and miss in the North West, but it's always best to stay prepared. No one wants to be stuck inside during an unexpected heat wave trying to control their hair! At Peter Marcus, we have a great range of professional hair products including Matrix, Bed Head and many more. So whether you need to control your frizz or add some volume, we can find the right summer hair product for you. Drop into the salon on Peter Street, or alternatively, give us a call on 0161 834 1422 to arrange a consultation.
Gone are the days when glasses were unflattering, badly made and impossible to style. These days every brand under the sun seems to have their own line of fashionable frames, from Gok Wan to Gucci. They've become such a desirable accessory that even people with 20/20 vision own a pair. But whether you wear your specs as a necessity, or just to pull an outfit together, it's important to feel comfortable and confident in them. We've compiled a list of hair styles to compliment any glasses-wearer…
1) Wear large "geek" style frames? Try a long, blunt fringe. This style (combined with a messy top knot) has been worn by everyone from Zooey Deschanel to Beyonce and makes for a cute and quirky look.
2) If you wear bold statement frames, try a pixie cut. A short, choppy hairstyle will draw attention away straight to the face, allowing you to experiment with glasses of different colours and styles without them clashing with your hair.
3) The key to finding a hair style to compliment your specs is balance. And this goes for colour too. If you wear thick dark frames, try a lighter hair colour to brighten up your face. Similarly, if you want to try dyeing your hair a darker colour, maybe try clear, rimless or a fun pastel frame.
4) For an evening style, try an elaborate braid or french twist. These young "school girl" styles will contrast with your sophisticated specs and create a fresh, put-together look.
5) If you have very thick, blunt hair, try cutting in some layers. Thinning out the hair will prevent a harsh, cluttered look when coupled with glasses, and allow your frames to be noticed. It also gives you more room to experiment with make-up.
Glasses can dramatically alter your appearance, and sometimes finding a new way to style your hair is all it takes to fall in love with your new accessory. Contact us on 0161 834 1422 or pop into the salon for a consultation and we can discuss the perfect style for you. You can also use our appointment form to make a booking – don't forget to bring your glasses!
This week we were thrilled to be invited to Pro Hair Live – a professional hairdressing conference held at Manchester Central, only a short walk across the road from the salon! We attended the show on behalf of Matrix and did a number of hairdressing demonstrations using our favourite Matrix products.
Marcus is a global Matrix artist, and Peter a member of the guest team, so both were pleased to speak on behalf of the brand, creating some cutting edge yet wearable styles on our models. Marcus styled Faye's violet curls in an on-trend 80's style – short and sharp yet feminine – while Peter worked on Connor, demonstrating how a subtle colour change can amplify a masculine style. Both styles were highly textured and a great excuse to use the variety of Matrix texturising products available.
Next, Peter styled Chelsea's copper toned hair (coloured using Matrix's new vibrant range of red dyes) while Marcus styled Grady's using Matrix's Total Results range – a new line of products available from salons for customers who want to achieve the professional look at home.
The show was a huge success and we would like to extend a massive thank you to everyone who came to check out our demonstration. The Pro Hair Live exhibition is always a great day with every name in the industry coming together to discuss styling, products, tools and techniques – we even got to meet Marilyn!
To find out more about all the Matrix products we used during the show, or for a consultation with either Peter or Marcus, give the salon a call on 0161 834 1422. You can also use our Make an Appointment form, or drop into the salon on Peter Street for a chat.
This winter was all about edgy hair. Sharp bobs and choppy pixie cuts were bang on trend, with the added benefits of being super low maintenance in spite of wind, rain and snow. But now that the sun is out, and we're all in the mood for summer, are you starting to feel hair cut regret? Are you wishing you could create those lushious beachy waves we all crave during the sunny seasons? Well, why not give extensions a try? They've come on a long way since the poorly disguised artificial hair of the early naughties – check out these celebs for some inspiration…
While we've never seen the any of the Kardashians with anything but flawless hair, we're especially loving Kourtney's not-so-natural locks. Rather than lengthening, Kourtney's extensions thicken, leaving her hair looking thick, shiny and full of life.
Selena fully embraces 'hippy chic', coupling extra long extensions with a floral headband and bare midriff. We think this would be the perfect look for a festival, particularly for those with a centre parting.
Rita shocked us all at the Oscars, swapping her trademark bob for some platinum waves in a more relaxed version of her classic retro look. Rita is living proof that blonde looks amazing with any skin tone – especially in summer!
We couldn't just pick one look for Beyonce – her hair changes far too often for us to keep track! Bey is a great example of the flexibility of extensions and weaves – they're changeable, they're dyeable and you're never stuck with one style for long.
Sorry – we couldn't resist! But hey, who says hair extensions are only for women? We actually think that Daniel has been something of a trailblazer in the male extension department – was Jared Leto copying his 'do at the Oscars last week?!
We love the versatility of hair extensions, hair pieces and weaves. Can't wait for your short hair to grow out – you don't have to! Which is why this year, we were thrilled to welcome the wonderful Tinu, the creator of Dilusso Hair Extensions, to join us! Tinu offers some of the best hair extensions in Manchester and is now on hand for customers of all hair types looking for great quality, all natural extensions and weaves.
If you're looking for summer makeover, and want to find out more about the hair that Tinu has to offer, contact us today on 0161 834 1422 or use our contact form to book an appointment. You can also pop into the salon on Peter Street – we're always available for a chat!

Knowing how to create sexual tension with women is one of the more powerful ways to make a woman feel attracted to YOU. Men that are able to spark a lot of sexual tension with a woman flat out get laid all of the time. So, why aren't you? Ease up. Most guys have no idea at all as to how they can create sexual tension with women. You can learn how to do this EASILY and your sex life will NEVER be quite the same again.
So, how do you go about creating sexual tension with women?
1. Don't try to play the nice guy. Nice guys are not the ones that get to go home with the woman at the end of the day. You have to be willing to take chances more and make sure that she doesn't see you as a "nice" guy. After all, the guy that makes her feel sexual tension is not exactly nice and platonic.
2. Tease her a little. Women LOVE it when a guy teases them and this is an EASY way to spark sexual tension with her. See, the more you tease her, the more you keep her guessing. You want to be the guy that makes HER feel butterflies in her stomach. To do this, you have to tease a woman.
3. Don't make yourself too easy to figure out. You want her to anticipate your next move, you don't want her to know it. So, you have to be the kind of man that has no problem with doing his own thing. If she knows that she can wrap you around her little finger, this is NOT going to make her feel that sexual attraction and desire for YOU.
Most guys have no idea on how easy it can be to make women feel sexually attracted to you. Instead, they will do all of the things that make her feel more like a friend than anything else. This is not where you want to be. You want her to feel turned on to you and sexually pulled to you.
This is what will change your sex and dating life...forever!

You have to be able to get that going if you are going to end up being intimate with her, and unfortunately, most men end up falling far short of being able to really get her going like that.
Sexual tension. It's like a mystery to a lot of guys, they know they need to create sexual tension with a woman, but the thing is, they don't really know HOW.

Wanting to make a woman feel sexually attracted to you is a good thing, because it shows that you know that it's probably not going to happen magically just because you want it to. You know that there are certain things that you have to do to make a woman feel that way.
Knowing that you are not very good at making a woman feel sexually attracted to you might seem like a hard thing to deal with, but it can actually be a good thing. There are plenty of guys out there who don't do well at making a woman feel that way about them, but they don't even know it.
Most guys don't really know what they need to do in order to create sexual attraction with a woman. You have to know what you are doing if you are going to make a woman feel sexually attracted to you, and if you don't, then you don't stand much of a chance of being able to seduce a woman.
You know how frustrating it can be when you are dating a woman and you really want to be able to take things to another level with her but everything that you have been trying just does not seem to be working out for you. Even if you are not the most superficial guy in the world, at some point, you definitely want to be able to get things advancing in the right direction with her.
You usually don't go out looking to meet women without having any ideas of being able to end up in bed with a woman. Deep down, that is what you are kind of hoping is going to happen. Of course, if you are like most men that go out looking to meet women, that just does not happen that often. In fact, it happens so little, you don't even like to think about it.
As a guy who wants to do well with women, you have to totally understand the fact that women get turned on differently than guys do. You and I both know that it doesn't take much to get guys turned on. All we need is a good magazine. Women, on the other hand, usually need a little bit more.
It's totally understandable why you would want to seek out some good advice on how to make a woman desire you sexually. As any guy knows, as much fun as you might have hanging out with a woman, it is a LOT more fun when you know that she feels some heat when she is around you. It makes you feel good to know that you can make a woman feel that way and deep down, it's what all straight guys want.
Whether you already have a girlfriend or you just want to get better overall with women, you have to understand what you need to do in order to get a woman aroused by you. You can't rely on just being a nice guy, you have to be able to meet her sexual needs and desires as well.

text: Occupy Denver Dwindling, Can't Fill Intersection on Debate Night Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 3 Oct 2012 post a comment Occupy Denver was never one of the key satellites of now comatose anti-capitalist movement. Still, the Denver contingent hung around the city's downtown area for several months, forcing the local government to pass a special new law to deal with its "occupation." Tonight, with President Barack Obama and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney in town, the Occupy Denver forces couldn't rally enough troops to fill a street intersection near the debate center. The gaggle pulled out the standard Occupy tics in the middle of the blocked off intersection, from angry placards to drums and singing. One sign said, "Property is Theft," and a few Occupy members carried placards for Jill Stein, the Green Party presidential candidate. Police stood at the ready nearby, but when this reporter watched the group move on from the intersection of University Blvd. and Evans Avenue next to the University of Denver campus, the movement's oft-violent nature wasn't on display.

Fetal Footprint
I'm late to the party with this image (all the other hoax-related sites have had it up for a couple of weeks), but hey, I was on vacation, and the picture's too good to ignore. Anyway, no one seems to be able to say definitively whether it's real or a fake... or even where it originally came from. It does seem pretty unbelievable that a footprint would be that well defined through the wall of the abdomen. Plus, the foot seems awfully long. And what are those weird bumps in the middle of the foot? But on the other hand, I've heard some women say that this is possible.

Definitely fake. Sort of amusing though, in a slightly sick way.Posted by Big Gary C in Dallas, Texas on Wed Sep 29, 2004 at 10:15 PM
Nicely done, but yah, fake . . . only way it would be that highly defined is if it ripped through a few layers of tissue between the interior of the womb and the skin.Posted by Jim North on Thu Sep 30, 2004 at 12:00 AM
I cannot imagine how that small photo can be evaluated.Posted by Rick in Ohio on Thu Sep 30, 2004 at 08:30 AM
I've seen a much larger version, so it's not necessarily that most folks are evaluating based on this thumbnail.Posted by cvirtue in deleted on Thu Sep 30, 2004 at 08:43 AM
The "bumps" is the ball of the foot; the foot is flexed slightly.
I don't think this is real, because everything is very well defined. The uterus and abdominal muscles would obscure the details, such as toes, that are very evident here.
Yes, sometimes you can see something poking, if you're pregnant, but it's hard to tell if it's an elbow or a heel. If you can't tell the difference and it's your own body, how could toes show up on a photo?

That's sort of gross. I could tell where my baby's butt was. It was kind of neat to watch it wiggle back and forth. Her heels were pressed up against the underneath of my ribs...I could see a little lump right there. But I never saw her toes. There's too much tissue in the way.Posted by Maegan in Tampa, Florida, USA on Thu Sep 30, 2004 at 11:24 AM
Rick, I was just being stingy with bandwidth. If you click on the image it now opens up a larger version of it.Posted by The Curator in San Diego on Thu Sep 30, 2004 at 01:25 PM

This is actually less defined than the arms, feet, hands, butt, etc. that my cousin's wife routinely displayed. (Yes, she would yank up her shirt and show everyone...yes, even in public.)Posted by Mark on Thu Sep 30, 2004 at 03:27 PM
I described this photo to my nurse friend, and she was intrigued. When I showed it to her, though, she just laughed. The woman pictured would have some grave physical problems if her uterus and all the outer tissues were that paper-thin. Since my friend has assisted at C-sections, I have to defer to her expertise.Posted by Mark Smith on Thu Sep 30, 2004 at 05:10 PM

I think it's a fake. I mean the mother must be missing some parts of her internal organs if you can see the toes.Posted by Dany in Texas on Fri Oct 01, 2004 at 03:37 PM
It doesn't look like it's a real footprint, but might it be a cluster of warts or some other sort of bumps on the skin?Posted by Matt on Fri Oct 01, 2004 at 07:16 PM

It's neither a real baby's foot nor a photoshopped image. It is in fact from a leaked US military archive including footage (no pun intended) of a Zildar woman impregnated with an Aracleon. The print is so clear because the Aracleon fetus is implanted in the subcutaneous fat layer, not in the womb.Posted by Paul in Prague in Czech Republic on Mon Oct 04, 2004 at 09:41 AM

I have given birth to four children and is pregnant for the fifth time...you CAN
The only possible thing that could have occurred here is that the waters had broken earlier in the pregancy, so there was no protective fluids around the baby (that's what happened during my mother's pregancy for me). However, if this was the case, the imprint would not be so defined against such taut skin. It's a fake.Posted by Dr. Allan Simpson on Mon Oct 18, 2004 at 01:46 AM
yeah right that is the most fakest thing on this earth i may only be a teenager but if it was real that could be a serious problem and could kill the baby fast and if this person had any kind of sense they would not be showing this picture all around the world.Posted by stallo in mo on Thu Oct 21, 2004 at 08:59 PM
I know from experience that a baby's foot and it's movements can be very visible but not w/ the extreme detail you see in this photo in that it includes the toes and ball of the foot. I am fairly small and was very thin due to extreme "morning" sickness w/ all 3 of my kids. They all grew to be 9# and bigger babies so YES you could just about see them through the thin wall that separated them from the outside world. I could tell my kids' positions anytime by looking or putting my hand on my tummy. My daughter was most interesting, choosing to sit "Indian style" and facing forward for much of her confinement (talk about heartburn! and bruises from kicking forward!)Posted by ck on Fri Oct 22, 2004 at 06:22 AM
I really had only the barest amount of skin between us especially w/ the 3rd one and after stretch marks....even my mom thought it was odd but everything was perfectly normal and they're 13-20 yrs old now!
With our first it wasn't uncommon to sit on the bed and watch him push his foot out an inch or more. He'd kick if we pushed it back "in" but we never saw "toes".

I know that when I was pregnant for the first time my baby moved a lot. I could tell when she had her little bottom pressed up against me. You could see the "lump" move about. But, you could never tell what it was. I just knew what it was becasue of her position. It was a very uncomfortable feeling. If a foot can be that detailed I would think that something was very wrong.Posted by Connie Thompson in Alabama on Sat Oct 23, 2004 at 02:39 AM
I asked a doctor about this photo, and he said that the only possible way it could be real is if it shows a baby that has developed outside of the womb. Very rare, but it does happen. But it's much more likely that it's simply a fake photo.Posted by The Curator in San Diego on Sat Oct 23, 2004 at 02:48 AM
wouldn't the baby's other foot be more feasable, just because of the position the rest of the baby's body would be in? either he's doing the splits or his entire body is in one-third of her belly. doesn't make sense.Posted by Christina Parker on Tue Oct 26, 2004 at 04:02 PM
Whatever, fake yes, but for a new mother, a first time mother, or anyone with a heart at all, sweet. We all wish that we could see "limbs" like that, and although fake, still brings an awwwwww.Posted by Molly on Fri Oct 29, 2004 at 05:52 PM
I would have to say it's not fake, You just have to be what's called all baby, I was able to tell which toe was what on my daughters foot and laying down you could see her laying on her sidePosted by Sabrina in Port Charlotte Florida on Tue Nov 02, 2004 at 01:26 PM
Yes fake it may be! But I have to say it is a beautiful photograph. I loved watching my unborn son rolling around and I wondering if it was a arm or a leg!Posted by TC in Tasmania on Fri Nov 12, 2004 at 03:34 AM
Fake..Fake..Fake! unless the baby is just flaoting around her abdominal cavity and the woman has no uterus..which is totally impossible!!Posted by Sophia on Mon Feb 14, 2005 at 01:43 AM
I saw this pic on one of those circulated emails we all get. As soon as I saw it I said "No way." Any nurse can tell you that the layers of muscle, fascia, and fat would obscure the detail (ok, I admit it's CUTE detail) of the baby foot. If this pic is real, I'm glad I was not her nurse during labor!Posted by April on Mon Feb 21, 2005 at 03:38 PM
This is truley wierd but at the same time it is pretty awsome to have your babies foot on your stomache!But hey who know's that baby could be the next enstine!!Posted by Ashley Brothers in Manchester TN on Thu Apr 28, 2005 at 02:54 PM

WASHINGTON – Noah sailed past Jacob to become the most popular baby name for boys in 2013, ending Jacob's 14-year run at the top. Sophia was the most popular baby name for girls for the third straight year.
The Social Security Administration announced the most popular baby names Friday. Noah was followed by Liam, Jacob, Mason and William. Sophia was followed by Emma, Olivia, Isabella and Ava.
The rise of Noah and Liam shows a trend toward names with smooth sounds, said Laura Wattenberg, creator of Babynamewizard.com.
You compare Jacob with all its hard, punchy consonants, versus Noah and Liam, you can really see where style is heading, Wattenberg said.
She also noted that the most popular baby names aren't nearly as popular as they used to be. For example, a little more than 18,000 babies born last year were named Noah. In 1950, when James was No. 1, there were more than 86,000 newborns with that name.
About 21,000 newborns were named Sophia last year. In 1950, more than 80,000 were named Linda, the top name for girls that year.
In the past, most parents were picking from a pretty well-defined set of names, Wattenberg said. Literally for hundreds of years, the English royal names dominated. You had John and Mary and James and Elizabeth.
Today, she said, we get names everywhere.
Jacob rose to No. 1 in 1999. In the 45 years before that, Michael was king for all but one.

"On the Record "with Coach Scott Davenport
"Inside The Actors Studio"-style interview with Bellarmine's basketball coach
Bellarmine University's newest lecture series, titled "On the Record," begins Monday, September 23, with an interview of Scott Davenport, Bellarmine's men's head basketball coach.
Davenport will be interviewed by Bellarmine's women's head basketball coach, Chancellor Dugan. Questions during the session, which is modeled after Bravo's "Inside the Actors Studio," will be geared towards engaging discussion about substantial life occurrences and lessons.
This free, public presentation begins at 7:30 p.m. in Cralle Theatre, located inside the Wyatt Center for the Arts on Bellarmine's campus.
Davenport has been a prominent figure in the Bellarmine community and Louisville's sports community as a whole for several years. Prior to taking on the head coaching job at Bellarmine, Davenport served nine years as an assistant coach at the University of Louisville under Denny Crum and Rick Pitino. He also served as an assistant at Virginia Commonwealth University with former University of Kentucky coach Tubby Smith.
Heading into his eighth year as Bellarmine's men's head coach, he has built a winning resume of his own. He led the Knights to their first Division II NCAA men's national championship victory in 2011, while accumulating a record of 33-2. This made him the first Bellarmine coach in history to win a national championship in any sport.
"On the Record" is a series aimed to bring different community leaders to campus, to engage in a thoughtful discussion about life lessons. Sponsors for the series include Bellarmine's Student Activities Center and Student Government Association.

America sent one act home on Thursday's finale of the Fox competition
After Wednesday's semifinal performances on Fox's "The X Factor," it was pretty clear that two of the four acts were definitely moving on to next week's finals.
(Spoiler alert! Don't read if you don't want to know Season 3's finalists)
The two clear finalists are Kelly Rowland's rocker Jeff Gutt from the Over 25s and Simon Cowell's duo Alex and Sierra from the groups category.
For me, that left a toss-up for the third position. There's Paulina Rubio's Carlito Olivero, the last standing from the Boys category and Cowell's country group, Restless Road – made up of previously eliminated soloists.
Also read: 'X Factor' Semifinal Borrows From NBC's 'The Voice' (Video)
In my opinion, it was the perfect timing for an Enrique Iglesias performance on the show. It was almost a nod to why America would pick its third finalist. You can probably guess by now that Olivero made it through.
The ambitious singer doesn't have the strongest voice, but he's an all around performer with a personality, good looks and the ability to cross over into Spanish music. It doesn't hurt that Cowell has been complimenting Olivero for weeks on his fighting spirit.
On the other hand, Restless Road has the looks and the talent but very little dynamics to them as a group. They're stiff and still look uncomfortable on stage with one another. Their one dynamic member, Colton Pack, only serves to highlight the lack of stage presence in the group.
Also read: 'X Factor' Top 10 Results: For 2 Singers, There's Only One Direction (Video)
It was clear to me that America would reward Olivero for his passion and stage presence. So, America, your Season 3 finalists are Carlito Olivero, Jeff Gutt and Alex and Sierra.
Finals air next Wednesday and Thursday at 8/7c on Fox with performances from Mary J. Blige and "X Factor UK" alums One Direction and Leona Lewis.
How you like the Season 3 finalists?

She may be aloof, and more pretty than gorgeous, but Alani Rivers is the kind of woman a hot-blooded mercenary can't forget, no matter how hard he tries. So when Jackson Savor wakes up next to the naked, sleeping beauty with no memory of what happened he knows he's been drugged - even if Alani doesn't.
After she was kidnapped, Alani vowed never to trust another man again. Still, something about this strong, sexy hero with the tender touch makes her want to believe him. As Jackson hunts down a mysterious intruder, he swears he'll move heaven and earth to keep Alani safe. But what really happened that night? And will the truth bring them closer than they ever thought possibleor put Alani squarely in harm's way again?

When I clean, drive or exercise I listen to romance. The steamier the better but it must have a great story as well!
"Not for the faint of heart"
I read a review on this book before purchasing it. One person mentioned that it's X rated just within a few minutes. Yes, this book is not for the faint of heart, it does have heated love scenes. That warning given, it also has an amazing storyline. This should be listened to as part of the entire series in order to be fully appreciated. Each novel builds on the story behind it and they work well together. If steamy sex scenes bother you, I don't recommend this book. Try Nora Roberts or Janet Evonovich. For those of you that like heat in a story, I highly recommend the entire series!
"Love this series!!"
I read the first book, When you Dare. It was the first I had heard of Lori Foster, now I listen to everything she writes, but especially like the "Men who walk the edge of honor" series. Possibly my favorite so far!
Hot romance/Sci Fi we're so lucky to have Audible to feed our book addictions. I love walking my precious dog Sydney & listening to my books
"I'm in love with Jackson - Mr Perfect"
I have loved all the books in this series But this is my favourite book so far. Not only is the book supper Hot (lot's of sex and sexual tension) it is quite funny as well. Jackson has a great sense of humor and i found myself giggling quite often. Jim Frangione delivered the story perfectly as always, his voice Mmm, So Good. I have already bought the next in the series and i'm looking forward to Spencer and Arizona's story. :)
Nurse, mom, loved to read....but now I love to listen. When I retire I hope to hear waves crashing in 1 ear and audible in the other!
"Savored it!"
It was a great story as well as a love story. I can't wait to read the other 2 and I bet there will be another ...the story of Arizona!
The ending was wonderfully happy......
I enjoyed his narration....reading a book now would be impossible after becoming an audible member. There are a very few narrators I have not grown to love as the story progresses. The characters become real.
The ending was moving...I love a happy ending.
I do wish I had known this was a series...this was the last book of the trilogy. I will definitely go back and start at the beginning. People have written how wordy this book can be and it is at times, but I would rather it be too much than too little.
Award-winning blind author who enjoys listening to books as much as she does writing them.
"A feel-good novel that is worth the read"
It's in my top 20.
Arizona. I liked her fire—not so much her mouth.
The part where they found the cat.
I think it would have been better without all the foul language. Other than that, I was mostly touched when the author told the story of Arizona.
This was a good book, with interesting characters, but too much ugly language for my taste. The sex scenes were good and I mostly enjoyed how Jackson took control of the situations. I liked Alani's softness and found her innocence charming.
"Great Series"
I loved hearing this series. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance, a good story line, and sexual encounters.
Jim Frangione is one of the best narrators that I have heard. He did an excellent job with each of the characters.
"Geat mix of suspence thriller and sexual romance"
This is a great story that I would love to share with friends as it draws you in not only with the story plot but the characters also.
'The perfect storm' by Lori Foster is a great follow up read as it covers the story of secondary characters Arizona and Spence from 'savor the danger'.
Arizona was my favorite character and she is not even the lead but all characters had depth
Jackson waking up with no memory next to Alani was shattering but gave great opening to the warmth of the story
I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.
"Not what I thought..."
I love Jim Frangione but this book did not capture my interest. It was so boring. Maybe I just didn't get it because it is a part of a series of books, but upon hearing this one I have no desire to get the others. I will consider other books (not in this series) by Lori Foster if reviews from listeners that I follow highly recommend it.
I did enjoy Arizona. She was an interesting character. My interest did get roused at the end. Too bad the whole book was so lacking. I want to be involved in the story all through the book and this one was far from that for me.
I wouldn't want this one even if it was on sale.
"Not as good as I'd hoped it would be"
I usually like Lori Foster books. Unfortunately I didn't like this one very much. It sounded like an interesting scenario, but the hero is too cocky (literally) and the heroine is TSTL (too stupid to live) for the first quarter of the book. I never did figure out where the story takes place; somewhere south of Ohio, possibly in Kentucky, is all I got from something very late in the book. I did finish it, but I'm not sure how much I missed because of the awful narrator. He was very hard to get used to and actually hear the story.
I was just happy the the mess was finally over. At least it had a happy ending.
Only if I really, really, needed to hear the story. I really, really disliked the narrator. Quick sentences, then a quiet space, then more quick sentences in a soft voice, like he was narrating golf and trying to make it exciting. Very hard to get used to and actually hear the story. He needs to narrate a
Yeah, wish I could actually read it on Kindle or in a real book, but with my vision that's not happening.
Audible should indicate that this is part of a series.
"Same narrator as J.R Ward Black Dagger Brotherhood"
I listen to a lot of audio books...probably too many and this is the first time I have made a comment about a book. The story is okay, would make more sense if I would start with the Guy Next Door (1st book in the Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor Series).
However, the real problem I have with this audio book is the narrator is the same from the popular series from J.R. Ward (Black Dagger Brotherhood). I can not tell one book from the other as they sound exactly alike! These charactars could be vampires and I would never know the difference because the narrator reads is EXACTLY the same. Also, there is this annoying clicking sound when he talks. Is this an audio problem or is his jaw popping?
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

As you walk into the darkness of the chamber,
Leaving behind traces of arousal,
I watch your body sway, close to nakedness,
I hear nothing but the silence of lust
Teasing me to follow into that charm
Yet not asking to be.
Enchanted and lost, I wish to walk along,
To be buried into that darkness that dwells passion
Breaking away from the spell of the black and white
To be lost in the greyness of our own world
Your words flirting more than your body
Just wanting me to be
Demystified I stare at you for I know the end,
Unlike the past, it is puzzling where to begin
To hold myself and lose you in those shadows
Or to be held in your warmth that will drown.
I step into that darkness to be a lost shadow
Or just to be.

Ha, where are all the MCITP spotty VMware haters now?
I did warn you all about MS code = rushed.
You get what you pay for in this world, simple.

VMware and Apple is now a way of life to most I speak to.
UK.gov's Open Source switch WON'T get rid of Microsoft, y'know
All these ex Novell, Borland clever people working in Open Source killing of the greed machine slowly and surely.
Revenge is sweet.
So whither Microsoft? If Nadella knows, he is keeping it well hidden
They are just disliked, because they are greedy
They breed an army of dumb MCSE / MCITP Xbox jerks that think they know I.T.. These idiots slag off VMware, Linux, Apple, Android and we just sit there laughing at them.
Change is mandatory and they don't get it. Stop trying to be a creator of everything to try and kill off all competitors. Embrace the competitors and be happy with the slice of the market.
Simple.............stop being greedy.

VMware hits back at Amazon cloud Trojan Horse with ... a blog post
VMware will be recognised for its excellence soon.
As I have said many times on the Register. VMware is expensive (at the moment) but very very smart. It is robust, guaranteed and game changing, and it will not stop there. 90% of Enterprise Hyper-V deployments break and require MS support intervention = FUDware. Azure is much better and MS is going to kill of the MCSE and MCITPs that supported and worshipped them. So ironic!
The British are coming! The British are coming! And they're buying Surface fondleslabs
The Nexus tablet interface was too complicated in comparison to the iPad. Google need to make it better to understand.

Inside Microsoft's Autopilot: Nadella's secret cloud weapon
The Real Secret Weapon
The Real Secret Weapon is the rumour that Google is working on an advanced home entertainment centre that is built from modular colour cubes ( Google likes colours ).

All the information you need in one system.
Bye bye Xbox, PS2, iTunes, iPad, Surface, Bose, it was nice knowing yer :-)
What can Microsoft learn from 'discontinued operations' at Nokia?
The explanation is simple
Nobody trusts a company that simply is greedy and wants dominate all, cloud, servers, phones, games console etc
The hybrid variant technology space is here to stay.

Do not worry VMware, Google will rescue you when the time is right. Poor Microsoft.

Microsoft: We're nearly OUT OF STOCK of Surface 2 and Pro 2
I was recently on business in the US, and everybody I talked too about iPad, Surface etc, all agreed the Surface is a load of cr#p !
Am I missing something?
Poor miserable Ballmer's pay SLASHED to a measly $1.26m
Proxy !
Are you sure this information is accurate and has not been garbled. Microsoft's proxy is very flakey!
In defence of defenestration: Microsoft MUST hurl Gates from the Windows
Re: Always a PC
Don't think it will happen, but if Microsoft does not get over its VMware ( we will kill you off like we did with Novell ) current obsession, it will surely be finished off.
VMware shrinks + Google Acquisition of VMware = End of Microsoft.
MS works with VMware + MS concentrate on Office, Exchange = Microsoft survival
Along with Linux survival.
Easy maths :-)
Global execs name Apple 'most innovative company' – again
Re: To coin a phrase
If any of the other vendors were top dogs, you would simply say the same thing about them. Personally I am glad that Apple gets this vote, so it keeps the others on their toes. Competition is the best thing. I am glad Apple, Google, VMware, Microsoft exist but I do not want one of them to be totally dominant.
Of the aforementioned, Microsoft are always the one that preaches they want kill others off! (Ballmer bang tables etc). Glad that c*ck has gone!
Go VMware go :-)
Peak Apple: Has ANYONE at all ordered a new iPhone 5c?
Apple must survive
I will buy everything apple and I do not care about cost or functionality versus Samsung or Microsoft. What else would I spend my money on?
Why?, because we need Apple, VMware and Google to survive as companies to keep Mickeysoft down. Competition is healthy.
Apple is Rolls Royce...............enough said.
Crack open those wallets: Microsoft is raising software prices AGAIN
Foot - Gun - Pull Trigger :-)
First you announce the death of Technet subscription. Are you sure Mr Microsoft........errr okay then just hold this gun, that's right point at your foot, and pull trigger.Yes it hurts does it not?,
but Apple, Red Hat and VMware did not feel a thing :-)
Microsoft's $7.1bn Nokia gobble: Why you should expect the unexpected

Indeed, they played pontoon with Hyper-V, Azure and Windows 8, and went bust!

Oh go on tell us who you work for, we could pass it on to Dell .......grin :-)
Rackspace to fire up VMware hybrid cloud
Rack space problem not VMware
You should have worded it as "the problem with VMware from Rackspace is........."
This is not a problem with VMware (and its hybrid cloud) as it will happily run RHEL 6. This is a Rackspace business protocol problem.
Don't trust us? Try these Office 365 stats, says Microsoft
Desperate MS it seems
All a bit desperate, this move by Microsoft.
Oh BTW, why are we not moving to SCVMM and Hype-V,
because 50 clicks, 10 reboots, and numerous Powershell script runs = 5 clicks and two reboots in VMware.
Microsoft cuts Surface Pro price by $100
Re: MS just don't get it!
Indeed they are all guilty, but Microsoft more than the rest. Freedom and greed should not be in the same paragraph.
Spread the wealth.
MS just don't get it!
I know many people that would rather buy an iPad than a Surface, just because it is Microsoft trying to barge into others market. If Microsoft would just be satisfied with dominating the Office/Applications/Windows space and stop trying to rule the world by trying to take out Apple, VMware and Google in which stills makes them billions of dollars, then people would not detest them.
It is in everybody's interest to have many companies competing as this increases quality and technological advances.
Ballmer & Co are just greedy dictators who need to grow up to be honest.
Microsoft Surface sales numbers revealed as SHOCKINGLY HIDEOUS
To be honest, I know many friends and techy colleagues that are quite happy to convert MS Word into PDF and iTunes board them onto their iPad for reference library stuff.
To edit, they use a laptop. The age of a single device to do all is not with us yet (or it could be a dream?).
Taxi for Ballmer - one can only hope. Oh wait a minute, stay there Stevie boy your making a right mess.
VMware squeezes customers for stellar quarter
Re: Looks like the layoffs helped too

Unbelievable comment.
Re: Looks like the layoffs helped too
Hyper-v is free but no good on its own. Add the required System Center suite of products in the mix and MS suddenly becomes more expensive managing comparative virtualisation workloads plus configuration management overhead.
The old MS trick to get more out of you...............you mugs!
Microsoft admits it's '18 months behind' with Windows 8 slabs

Microsoft biz heads slash makes Ballmer look like dead STEVE JOBS

The Disruptor is back - again
Good old VMware I say. When the majority of VMware bashers have been mentioning their downfall, VMware answers with another "IT Arena Disrupter". This will send shockwaves through the channel.

It's simple, the free argument does not hold water. I have many customers that would rather pay than endure vendor lock in and pay for it at a later date.
Nothing in this world is free.
LOL = playing catch-up. Unlike NVGRE it will be more advanced, more likely be furnished with advanced firewalling capabilities and have full integration and tuning with other products in its ecosystem.......... and oh it will work more reliably under heavy workloads. VMware raising the bar yet again :-)
Microsoft still reviving Azure SQL Reporting after MONDAY FAIL
Your Missing the Point
The reason Azure is flaky, is due to rushed implementation, backup process failures and a general slap dash approach to cloud by Microsoft!.
Build your Linux and Windows on VMware Cloud Director accompanied by robust DR concepts and and a more professional attitude to delivering Cloud properly and the situation will be much more robust if any of the componenets fail.
The whole Azure, Hyper-V, Windows Server 2012, SCCM is a rushed coded cobbled together ecosystem that is going to burn all the MS shop "follow like sheep" fanbois!. This will not be the last time customers will suffer long downtimes in all type (Azure, Hyprid, Public, Private) MS cloud mash ups!.
Pay the money and you get reliability. Its a no-brainer.
Microsoft blasts PC makers: It's YOUR fault Windows 8 crash landed
Rushed Implementations!
Microsoft got left behind, panicked and delivered a whole load of rubbish. Their salesman are spouting bullshit and huge exageration. And this is the company that also wants us to put faith in Hyper-V 2012!
I don't think so MS$. Openstack, VMware, Hadoop, Apple, agility and mobility are the big things again for 2013.
Apple shares dive after quarterly report disappoints Wall Street
Your Apple doom and Gloom is flawed!
Yes Apple has huge competition from Android and Microsoft and ther model needs adjusting.
You forget Microsoft have come back because they are a $260 billion dollar company. Apple is just a temporary wounded animal worth $450 billion! They are not going to take all this lying down from Samsung, Microsoft and all other competitors.
They will re-invent, re-innovate, headhunt the best in the game and come back greater than ever.
Money talks and makes waves.

The Yucatán includes many coastal streams that drain into the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean, grottos, cenotes, and aquadas (sinkholes) in the interior of the peninsula. The ecoregion is also home to Laguna Chichancanab.
Tropical and subtropical coastal rivers
Restricted to the Yucatán Peninsula, this ecoregion encompasses northern Campeche, all of Yucatán, and northern Quintana Roo. Isla Cozumel is also part of this ecoregion.
Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea
The Yucatán includes many coastal streams that drain into the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean, grottos, cenotes, and aquadas (sinkholes) in the interior of the peninsula. The ecoregion is also home to Laguna Chichancanab.
The Peninsula de Yucatán is a flat karst area with almost no hills. Elevations are less than 300 m, and soils are generally of calcareous origin. Laguna Chichancanab is nearly flat and surrounded by low hills.
The climate is predominantly tropical savanna. The ecoregion receives around 1000 mm rainfall annually, most of which falls between July and September. The mean annual temperature is 26 ºC. Winter lows are around 16.5 ºC on average, while summer highs exceed 34 ºC.
There is almost no permanent surface water in the Peninsula de Yucatán. However, subsurface waters connect to the surface via cenotes, aguadas, and calderas. Such water bodies may have fresh or brackish waters, and often are connected by subsurface rivers. The ecoregion is also distinguished by the presence of rias, streams that flow inland from the sea.
Laguna Chichancanab is an endorheic basin with lagoons that are highly saline due to evaporation. Few fish besides pupfishes are able to survive in this environment. There are no known drainages into the lake. Instead, it is mostly rain-fed, with the size of the lake and individual pools influenced by the amount of rain.
Yucatán dry forests characterize most of the central and western side of the ecoregion, whereas Yucatán moist forests occur in the east and southern edge. Mangroves line the coast on both the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean sides. Endemism is high in the dry forests, with roughly 75% endemism among cacti. Common cactus species in the dry forests include Cephalocereus gaumeri, Pterocereus gaumeri, and Lemaireocereus griseus.
From a freshwater perspective, the Yucatán is relatively unexplored biologically, and thus it is estimated that its true biodiversity is richer than the described species would suggest. Nonetheless, there is information on a number of native and endemic freshwater species. The most speciose families include Poeciilidae, Cyprinodontidae, and Cichlidae.
The ecoregion contains only a handful of strict endemics, including the giant killifish (Fundulus grandissimus), Yucatan killifish (F. persimilis), ocellated killifish (Floridichthys polyommus), and Cyprinodon suavium (Cyprinodontidae). The Mexican blind brotula (Typhliasina pearsei) is an uncommon endemic species found in caves and sinkholes. Cyprinodon suavium is a pupfish endemic to Laguna Chichancanab. Among the near-endemic freshwater fish are five other pupfish that are also endemic to the Laguna Chichancanab in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. These species are the blackfin pupfish (Cyprinodon beltrani), boxer pupfish (C. simus), Maya pupfish (C. maya), thicklip pupfish (C. labiosus), and largefin pupfish (C. verecundus).
The ecoregion's karst-derived subterranean habitats support a number of unusual species, such as the blind swamp eel (Ophisternon infernale). The Yucatan pupfish (Cyprinodon artifrons), ocellated killifish (Floridichthys polyommus), and Yucatan flagfish (Garmanella pulchra) reach their southern limit in Central America in the region.
Two frogs, Triprion petasatus and Bolitoglossa yucatana, as well as the Creaser's mud turtle, Kinosternon creaseri, are endemic to the Yucatán ecoregion. The ecoregion's karst-derived subterranean habitats also support several subterranean amphipod crustaceans.
The presence of cenotes, aguadas, and calderas give ample opportunity to develop cave forms (e.g., Mexican blind brotula and blind swamp eel), often grading to surface types.
In Laguna Chichancanab, the Cyprinodon fishes have radiated and formed a monophyletic species flock with distinct feeding habits (eg, one eats snails, another eats crustaceans, another insects, another is a bottom-feeder, etc.).
Ecoregion delineations were based on qualitative similarity/dissimilarity assessments of major basins, using the standard administrative hydrographical regions of the Mexican federal government. The Yucatán is noted for its unusual habitats, endemic species, and its impoverished, but peculiar, fauna that includes some cave-adapted species. Also, the ecoregion's tropical and dry climate distinguishes it from adjacent ecoregions.
Most water bodies have not been explored; however, some recent discoveries have been important in redefining the significance of the peculiar habitats in the region. Less than half of the cenotes have been studied. Laguna Chichancanab is fairly well known, but access is difficult.

Film Review: Iron Sky (2012)
SYNOPSIS: The Nazis set up a secret base on the moon in 1945 where they hide out and plan to return to power in 2018. REVIEW: After watching the trailer for "Iron Sky", my expectations went through the roof. Just knowing that the film actually existed was enough to make me a bit giddy. The premise alone is just plain brilliant. I was expecting the film to just be B-movie bliss. That isn't exactly what … Continue reading

Asus outs 1920 x 1280 Android ICS tablet
Re: Can you actually read anything on it?
Android has proper support for DPI scaling. Text will be the same size as always, it will just look better.
New graphics engine imperils users of Firefox and Chrome
The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.
What bothers me about this article is not the vulnerabilities themselves. Yes, graphics drivers are buggy, any most likely exploitable through GLES and GLSL if you're not careful. This is bad.
What bothers me is that it is being painted as an end-of-the-line, unfixable problem for WebGL. It's not. Browsers could add sanity checking to values passing through the WebGL layer. GLSL shaders could be sanitized. It'll hurt performance a bit, but what are you going to do? Hell, Google Chrome on Windows is already passing the OpenGL commands through a translator (ANGLE) to translate them to DirectX (and therefore is translating GLSL to HLSL) to bypass the dodgy OpenGL situation on Windows, so I see little reason why sanitization cannot be added to this as well. Similar should be possible for any browser, though Google may have a head start due to ANGLE.
I'm not saying this will be easy, but I really don't see why it's painted as being so very impossible. Hell, Google wrote a sandboxing architecture to allow x86 code to run safely from the web. This should be doable.

Good luck with that.. since the addition of Android phones, Virgin Mobile hasn't been able to keep their data network up and running. The Sprint network proper seems okay, so it's unclear what's going on, but I wouldn't put my money there right now. Wait and see; maybe they'll fix it, but I'm not holding my breath.
Apple security update leaves iPhone 3G users unprotected
The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.
"Apple should still produce patches, otherwise security conscious people would have to upgrade."
I'm sure Apple is real broken up over the idea that security conscious people would have to upgrade.
Opera (finally) gets hard on WebGL 3D
@Mr Brush
Oh yeah, OpenGL 1.1 with a software renderer. That's gonna do great. Go try running some OpenGL software on that, and check back in with me when you're done.
@Robert Heffernan
Microsoft doesn't ship OpenGL drivers with their OS these days, so ma and pa who never update drivers from the video card manufacturer's website don't have OpenGL support. This very likely accounts for a large majority of machines.
Also, Intel's 3D drivers for Windows have pretty abysmal OpenGL support, as I understand it. Not that Intel's 3D drivers for DirectX have a sterling reputation either; however, their chips are very common, because most people don't know any better, nor do they care to.
Parallels unfurls desktop virt for Windows, Linux
"Obviously, if you want to run a 64-bit operating system in a VM, you need to have a 64-bit host."
You may think that's obvious, yet, VMware lets you run a 64-bit guest on a 32-bit host, assuming your processor/chipset supports it in the first place. Obviously.

Google polishes another Chrome beta
@A J Stiles
Oh, so you can take code for Windows and just run it through GCC on Mac OS and it will just work, eh?
The actual reason that Chrome is so slow to be released on Mac OS X is due to problems implementing their one-process-per-tab architecture on OS X. You see, Windows has no problem allowing a window from one process to be parented to a window from another process, thus how the content from a tab process can be rendered within the Chrome window. But Mac OS X, as of 10.5, doesn't support that.
So, they've had to rearchitect that part of the system for the Mac port. Therefore, delay.
But, I'm sure if you were on the team, they'd be done by now.
Palm slams Apple, hoodwinks iTunes
Don't have the right according to who?
"From where we sit, however, Palm doesn't have the right to tweak its iPhone competitor to make it pretend to be something it's not."
The hell they don't. It's just bits, ones and zeroes, and not even particularly interesting ones or zeroes. It's a vendor ID field, _a number_.
If they want to tweak it to claim to be 7, 42, or the square root of 2, more power to them.
World's first in-cinema interactive 3D game inbound
Audience fail
Having seen this tech in action before (http://www.etc.cmu.edu/projects/bvw.html), I can tell you right now- that spacecraft is *doomed*.
Trying to get the audience to coordinate their motions in any sort of sane way is like herding cats.
Google cloud told to encrypt itself
The real reason
Google may try to obfuscate their reasoning with ridiculous statements like "Your computer has to do extra work to decrypt all that data" (my Core 2 Duo is more than capable of decrypting one paltry GMail session, thank-you-very-much), but their real reasoning is clear.
They don't want their servers to have to do all that "extra work" to ENcrypt all the data. It would mean they'd have to buy more servers, and that would hurt their bottom line. That is, ultimately, all that any company gives a shit about (do-no-evil or otherwise). Oh, and I suppose that using more servers isn't 'green' or something- I'm surprised they didn't trot out that line. Save the planet, ban encryption!
They give you the option to turn on https to placate the savvy users, but everyone else gets whatever uses the fewest CPU cycles. If you expect them to do anything else, you don't understand how a business works.
Lightning strikes Amazon cloud (honest)
Get real, complainers
"The REAL question is what else in their system failed that allowed a surge to get that far into the network..."
EVERYTHING failed; it was a direct lightning strike. If you think you have a surge protector that works against that, I suggest you get yourself to the patent office straight away.
"The better question is why didn't UPS and generator kick in"
Oh come ON. Lightning doesn't cause a power INTERRUPTION; it eats your infrastructure for breakfast. Nothing is going to protect your data center from a lightning strike. Oh, so you have a UPS system? Well, when the massive current fuses every metallic component in your UPS into a giant conductor, fat lot of good that will do you.
Get real.
Webhost hack wipes out data for 100,000 sites
Not surprised
I have (had!) a backup server hosted by these folks... I used to have some more important stuff there, but pulled it out a few months ago because HyperVM was making me nervous. They pulled the entire control panel down several times since recently due to suspected vulnerabilities in the software.
Basically, HyperVM looks like a house of cards so I think it was only a matter of time before it got hacked. The control panel appears to run as root on each VPS host, of course any outward-facing thing can get hacked but there ought to have been some level of abstraction between the control panel and the VPSes to slow down the hackers. Doesn't seem like there was though.
Pretty glad I moved my stuff when I did.
Hulu headed for subscription service scheme?
I for one welcome our micropayment overlords
Seriously, I am tired of the attitude that everything on the internet should be free and that ad revenues are a viable way to sustain a business.
There is only so much advertising that you can shove down the throat of consumers. It is just advertisers advertising for advertisers advertising for advertisers at this point. It is just a bubble that is going to burst sooner or later.
That's not to say that it is reasonable to expect me to pay $25/mo for a service that used to be ad sponsored when I know full well that the advertisements you served to me brought you a grand total of 4 cents of revenue. Let's just be realistic- you bill me for 8 cents instead of 4, you make twice the money, we can all go home and I can stop looking at ads for pointless bullshit I don't need or want and will never click on.

Microsoft breaks Windows 7 three-apps netbook handicap
We're going to complain about what, now?
"More-adventurous users might be happy to download their own non-Microsoft players, or treat the netbook as a lightweight second machine that doesn't need media. Most ordinary consumers won't, though, and will - rightly - expect a fully functioning, self-contained PC package out of the box."
Please... OEMs will just bundle PowerDVD or something which they can license for pennies. Microsoft removing DVD support from the OS (frankly, I didn't realize it ever had it) is hardly a loss. Ordinary users will GET a fully functioning, self-contained PC because the OEMs will make it so. It's the more adventurous users that will have to go to extra effort to rip out the preinstalled bloat.
Also, as it has already been pointed out, netbooks don't have an optical drive.

Reported malfunction in PayPal Security Key
Barn door is open?
Will have to test this next time I use Paypal (I have a Paypal fob). If this is really true then one has to wonder what exactly the programmers at PayPal are smoking. A validation function that returns success regardless of input? Awesome coding guys!
I'm not sure how exactly a security vulnerability this wide slips through the cracks. Testing, wonder if they've heard of it?
On a tangent, why the hell does Paypal make me answer a security question after I have successfully (1) provided my user ID, (2) provided my password, AND (3) provided my key fob number thing? It's beginning to get on my nerves, and I'm not sure I understand what additional security it is generating. If they've stolen my password AND my fob, then congrats, they probably deserve access to my account already.
Data for 800,000 job applicants stolen
The more important question.....
This seems to imply that The Gap is collecting Social Security Numbers from people who have APPLIED for jobs but don't actually work there.
That's ridiculous.
I wouldn't give any employer my SSN until I was damn well being put on the payroll.
Web host breach may have exposed passwords for 6,000 clients
@ the previous poster
Hah, yeah, you can't update your credit card through their system, but at least they let you do it online somehow (not that e-mail/phone is overly secure but..)
At my *other* host, they make me fax them a signed form for changes. Fax! Who has a fax machine? Have to go to Kinko's just to update my billing details....
Annoying but not a real problem... unless you're dumb
So they say the attack had the potential to expose names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and server login details.
The first four points are of course true. The fifth (server login details) is true as well, but only because people are dumb enough to give their server provider their root password (to fix a problem, etc.) and then NOT CHANGE IT AFTER.
I lease a server from LT and although I've certainly changed my support portal password, I'm not losing any sleep over the security of my server itself. Any server password I ever gave to their techs was changed the moment after they were done with it. They have no business retaining any valid logins for my server after that point.
I have trouble feeling sorry for anyone who doesn't follow this basic security procedure.
Could you give up your desk phone?
Phone? Who needs it?
Must be in Europe that the mobile phone reception doesn't suck inside buildings (last job was in Canada).. heaven help me if I tried to use a cell phone inside the office, it would be dropping constantly or all I would hear was a bunch of garbage... or sometimes I could hear the other party but they would just hear a bunch of garbage from me. Useless. Desk phone all the way.
At my current job I don't even have a phone. Let the receptionist answer the damn phone. If someone needs me, they can bloody come talk to me. I love it.
Root-locked Linux for the masses
Nice idea, but...
Although at some level I like this idea- I don't really believe that the masses will ever be smart enough to run their own damn computer- this proposal seems to raise more security concerns than it solves.
You're putting the security of your box in the hand of some 'geek' you've never met who works for the management company. (Or maybe just a 'volunteer' to the project?) Maybe that geek is trustworthy. Maybe he's not. All it would take is one malicious 'administrator' to turn all the boxes into a botnet.
This sort of things works pretty well in a corporate setting, where you're turning over control to the IT department, who you have some level of 'relationship' with and some reason to trust them, but to turn over control of a personal computer to an organizaton with offices hundreds/thousands of miles away (maybe outsourced to India someday), enh, I wouldn't let my granny do it.
Unless granny is turning over control to someone she already trusts (i.e., her geeky grandson)- which pretty much eliminates any edge this has over existing Linux distributions- then I fail to see how they intend for this to be trustable in a grander fashion. They better have an ace up their sleeve if they intend for this to go anywhere.

MOUNT VERNON — Jerry E. Lashley, 65, of Mount Vernon died Saturday afternoon, Jan. 9, 2010, at his home surrounded by his loving family.
He was born Nov. 1, 1944, in Buffalo, Ohio, a son of the John E. Lashley and Grace P. (Roe) Lashley Bebout. Jerry was a member of the Advent Christian Church in Mount Liberty.
