Metal Effects Barcelona Case Set (iPhone 4/4S)
Product Description
Sorry, currently out of stock
The look of metal. Without all that metallic aftertaste.
Finished with a jewelry electroplating process, this Metal Effects Outer Shell shines like the sun. A silvery-blue, um, shining sun. Awesomely protective but without all the negatives of metal– no heaviness, scratchiness, or heat retention like metal. This 3-piece case set allows you to pair a Gunmetal or Navy Uniform Inner Wrap with the Metal Effects Barcelona Outer Shell to match your look du jour. Until now, you had to choose between impact resistance and stunning good looks. Don't let 'em keep you down, sister–this solution finally gives you both.
Plus, you can even mix it up–the Inner Wraps and Outer Shells are interchangeable with all of the Tech Candy Case Sets. Tired of Navy Uniform? We can't imagine that, but if it does somehow happen one day, grab a Black Night Inner Wrap and dress it up for an evening out on the town.
Case feeling grimy? Simply wash both case pieces with suds and H2O, leaving you looking aptly accessorized to walk the runway, should you so choose.
Included in each Case Set:
2 Inner Wraps: Fine Cashmere Silicone
- The most durable, food-grade silicone
- Unbelievably silky, sexy soft-touch finish
- Grippy, not slippy! Exclusive edge grips make slippage a thing of the past
- Two über hip colors included: Navy Uniform (Pantone 539: a very nice dark navy blue) and Gunmetal (Pantone 549: medium blue slate-y color, just slightly metallic, but still very matte in finish). Please note that color on computer monitors varies greatly from screen to screen. There is no way we can ensure accuracy of what you are seeing on monitors in any given location. I mean, we're good, but we're not that good.
1 Outer Shell: Electroplated Polycarbonate
- Durable, protective and smooth
- Polished finish slides easily into pocket or purse
- One Barcelona Outer Shell in Gunmetal finish included
Bonus: Coordinate your iPhone to this case by downloading the matching screen patterns with our free Tech Candy app!

One could attach many adjectives to the giant banks that tumbled down during the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008: reckless, greedy, hubristic, stupid. Here's one that may come less readily to mind: shareholder-friendly. But that's what they were. Several studies have found that the more shareholder-oriented a bank's corporate governance and executive-pay arrangements were heading into the crisis, the more trouble the bank got into. A misplaced focus on pleasing shareholders, it seems, must be added to the roster of causes of the crash.
It makes sense: shareholders supply only a small fraction of a bank's funding (most comes from depositors and bondholders), yet they get all the upside if the bank books big profits. And as we learned in 2008, the government sometimes steps in to keep giant financial institutions from failing. So from the perspective of a shareholder, a bank CEO who takes bold, financial-system-endangering risks is just doing his job.
This mismatch between bank shareholders' interests and those of society is now widely understood in academic circles. Yet last year, when Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, was under pressure for losses incurred by London-based traders, he hastened to reassure markets that he was out to "maximize economic value for shareholders." Bank executives regularly point to return on equity (return to shareholders, basically) as the metric that matters most. And when Congress wrote new rules for the banking sector in 2010's Dodd-Frank Act, it included several provisions intended to make banks and other corporations more responsive to their shareholders.
Let's get this straight. Big banks that emphasize return to shareholders above all else have been shown to be menaces to society. Yet one of the main responses to the problems banks got into has been to … reaffirm the primacy of shareholders.
Such is the power of the ideology known as shareholder value. This notion that shareholder interests should reign supreme did not always so deeply infuse American business. It became widely accepted only in the 1990s, and since 2000 it has come under increasing fire from business and legal scholars, and from a few others who ought to know (former General Electric CEO Jack Welch declared in 2009, "Shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world"). But in practice—in the rhetoric of most executives, in how they are paid and evaluated, in the governance reforms that get proposed and occasionally enacted, and in almost every media depiction of corporate conflict—we seem utterly stuck on the idea that serving shareholders better will make companies work better. It's so simple and intuitive. Simple, intuitive, and most probably wrong—not just for banks but for all corporations.
As Cornell University Law School's Lynn Stout explains in her 2012 book, The Shareholder Value Myth, maximizing returns to shareholders is not something U.S. corporations are legally required to do. Yes, Congress and regulators have begun pushing the rules in that direction, and a few court rulings have favored shareholder primacy. But on the whole, Stout writes, the law spells out that boards of directors are beholden not to shareholders but to the corporation, meaning that they're allowed to balance the interests of shareholders against those of stakeholders such as employees, customers, suppliers, debt holders, and society at large.
Proponents of shareholder value argue that, whatever the law says, corporations would be more successful—and do more good—if executives and boards spent less time balancing their various obligations and focused instead on making money for shareholders. This idea began percolating at the University of Chicago and on a few other campuses in the 1960s and '70s, and it made some sense at that historical moment. American corporations were struggling in the face of global competition and technological change, yet most were complacent. If only executives were forced to pay more attention to their companies' plummeting stock prices—by the threat of a hostile takeover, perhaps, or by a strong link between their pay and those prices—they might take the risks and make the changes that the times demanded. Or so the thinking went.
These arguments began to reshape corporate practice in the 1980s. By the mid-'90s, they had congealed into the simple doctrine that the job of a chief executive is to keep shareholders happy. Executive-pay packages were stuffed with stock options, and a newly restive breed of professional investors began goading boards into pushing out managers whenever a company's stock price languished. Underlying both practices was the belief that stock prices were the best measure of corporate performance—which made it pretty easy to judge whether a CEO was doing a good job or not. For a few wonderful years, all of this seemed to work. Corporate America, after lagging behind Japanese and German competitors, made a spectacular comeback, and the U.S. economy boomed with it.
This heyday ended with the stock-market collapse that began in 2000. The popping of the tech-stock bubble demolished the notion that stock prices are reliable gauges of corporate value. And as the economy languished, the shareholder-driven U.S. corporate model ceased to look so obviously superior to its Asian and continental-European rivals. The intellectual assault on shareholder value began, and has been gaining strength ever since.
To be sure, the case against putting shareholders first is not quite the slam dunk for all corporations that it is for highly indebted, too-big-to-fail financial institutions. Outside of banking, the empirical evidence against the doctrine is more suggestive than dispositive. Supporters of shareholder rights can point to studies showing that certain shareholder-friendly changes, such as removing defenses against hostile takeovers, tend to bring higher share prices. Skeptics argue that this says little about long-term impact, and point instead to a more expansive, but impressionistic, set of indicators. The performance of U.S. stock markets since shareholder value became doctrine in the 1990s has been disappointing, and the number of publicly traded companies has declined sharply. The nation in which shareholders have the most power, the United Kingdom, has an anemic corporate sector; on Fortune magazine's list of the world's 100 largest companies, it claims only three, compared with nine from France and 11 from Germany, where shareholders hold less sway. Multiple studies of corporations that stay successful over time—most famously the meticulously researched books of the Stanford-professor-turned-freelance-business-guru Jim Collins, such as Good to Great—have found that they tend to be driven by goals and principles other than shareholder returns.

Another miscarriage
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 08-01-2010 - 8:52pm
I started bleeding suddenly and heavily a couple hours ago. This is my second MC in a year. I really believed I would have a baby this time just like I did last year.
At least it was earlier on than last time. I am about eight weeks. My first two pregnancies went fine. Two PG then two MC. Maybe my eggs are too old for this stuff. I wish they would not come down the tube if they aren't good ones.
I said the last few weeks that I would not go through another PG. Now I'm thinking one more try. I'm so freaking hard headed. I don't know. Now I have to tell my husband. He will be devastated. He wants a baby so, so badly. Now I'm thinking maybe he should find a woman who can have one with him. That's some insecure stuff, huh? To put it like my Son, This sucks.

The investigation into Monday's deadly bombing at the Boston Marathon has officially gone international: law enforcement officials from Israel have been sent to the United States to assist in the probe.

Boston Police gets training from Israel. For what to treat us like Palestinians?.Totall y dehumanized.
A completely staged event. With fake amputees. Fake blood. Fake victims with a couple block busters. They have Americans wrapped like a cheap ribbon. Suckers !
This time, even Russia's poison hasn't been able to twist the story. God bless Israel, from USA.
I love how in the first photo I saw of the Tsarnaev mamaleh she wasn't wearing a scarf. The agents must have realized their mistake and in the newer photos they made sure the balebusta mamaleh agent wears a head scarf.
I think they printed this story to make it appear they are involved they are not here? No thanks
I am sure Obama said thanks but no thanks. This can not be true!
UK gave Jews Israel against Torah; Torah says G-d must give it; Israel failed the test & is doomed.
no, Christians are the chosen - those who accept Jesus Christ are God's new chosen.
Oy, the Tsarnaev boychiks. Such a good looking Sephardic boychiks getting mixed up these bombings.
i saw a guy wave it around a few times before he set it down. i like jews, i dont trust israel 1bit
the first bomb went off in front of the israeli flag, it was part of a row of flags... symbolic?
Posing as friends inorder to get a foot in the door because they are curious and information czars
Yes, Israel is God's chosen people. He will take care of them.
This is The City of London's way of saying, "We want to help you."
they want to get the organs
If this isn't suspicious, then I don't know what is.
Gosh, what a coincidence. Israel just happened to send a team of investigators just before the bombing. I'm sure they will tell us what really happened. (Sarcasm used to imply that Israel was involved in the bombing).
What was the original "trip" for?????

Chair: Grace LeMasters, Ph.D. NCSAC Member, University of Cincinnati
Dr. LeMasters opened the meeting by stating the task: to explore the determinants causing outcomes in the hypotheses of the National Children's Study asthma thematic group. She suggested discussing Study outcomes based on external, internal, social, and biological factors. The group approached the task by first defining outcomes at every stage to be measured, including during pregnancy and every year up to five years of age. They then discussed what exposures they wanted to measure in relation to time and outcomes for hypotheses including indoor/outdoor air pollution, respiratory/viral infections, and bacterial/microbial products. They evaluated these in terms of both adverse and possible positive exposures (the hygiene hypothesis).
Jesse Marquez, Coalition for a Safer Environment, raised an objection to the narrow use of the disorder of Asthma as a concentration for the Study. He suggested that the Study theme include "all reactive airway diseases."
Stephanie London, M.D., NIEHS, and Fernando Martinez, M.D., University of Arizona, both assured the group that the Study focus uses the term "Asthma" as a general umbrella term in order to effectively define all reactive airway diseases. They instructed that a reference to respiratory-obstruction generally guides the Study to concentrate on Asthma as the resulting medical term.
After discussion, the group decided to recommend that the thematic area be expanded to include airway reactive disease, allergies, and asthma.
Not discussed.

Each distinct number goes in a separate note. This does not apply to a multi-disc set.
A multi-disc set with individual numbers also has on the container a variant form, which is a truncation of the numbers on the discs:
On discs: CD 125, CD 126; on container: CD 125/6.
028 01 CD 125--CD 126 b Record Company
Do not enter the truncated form of the numbers in an 028 field or note.

500 Recording Company: 1234 5678 (CD 125--CD 126).
A multi-disc set with a range of matrix numbers:
028 11 CD 125--CD 126 b Record Company
This will generate the following note:
500 Record Company: CD 125 (matrix)--CD 126 (matrix).
A multi-disc set with both a range of matrix numbers on the discs and a number on the container for the set:
028 00 1234 5678 b Record Company

500 Record Company: 1234 5678 (CD 125 (matrix)--CD 126 (matrix)).

John Stanley Foster, 31 and from Corrigs Road in Newcastle, showed no emotion when the seven-year sentence was handed down on Tuesday at Downpatrick Crown Court.
He had previously been warned in no uncertain terms by Mr Justice Burgess that he was going to jail over what was branded "an extreme overreaction".
The judge accepted that the 47-year-old victim Mr Mills had actually been the initial aggressor when the second cousins ended up in a fight on Main Street in Ballynahinch on 30 September.
But Mr Justice Burgess said that Foster's retaliation had been an "extreme overreaction", landing 12 punches - some of them while the victim was defenceless on the ground.
He added that it was tragic that Mr Mills' death had been the result of a chance encounter and that "a few minutes" would have caused a vastly difference outcome.
Foster, a father-of-four, had been on trial for the murder of Mr Mills - but proceedings were dramatically halted when he pleaded guilty to manslaughter instead.
He now knows that he will have to live with this guilt for the rest of his life.Mr Justice Burgess
He now knows that he will have to live with this guilt for the rest of his life.
Mr Justice Burgess
In sentencing him to seven years, half in prison and half on supervised licence, Mr Justice Burgess said the jail term could have been 10 years if Foster had not pleaded guilty but had subsequently been convicted by a jury.
The victim suffered multiple fatal head injuries, including fractures to his neck and jaw in the brawl.
A prosecution QC told the court that Foster's guilty plea to the lesser charge of manslaughter was accepted because "there is a reasonable possibility that the fatal blows were administered at a time when the necessary specific intent had not been formed by the defendant".
The judge also explained that Foster had always admitted his responsibility for the death and had always been willing to plead guilty to manslaughter, but it was not until that charge was added to the indictment that the opportunity was available to him.
Mr Justice Burgess said he was giving Foster "substantial credit" for pleaded guilty, adding that he believed it reflected "the high level of remorse exhibited by the defendant".
The judge told Foster that, while it was to his credit that he stayed at the scene and helped tend to his victim, the offence was aggravated because of his "overreaction" and because he had ignored previous warning about his behaviour while drunk.
But he added that Foster would have to live with his guilt, while the sentence would also "cause great upset to his partner and children - all innocent parties in this tragedy".
The court previously heard that Foster had a record for public violence, with convictions for disorderly behaviour and assaults dating back to his teenage years - prompting the prosecution to submit that he showed a "propensity towards violence".
Mr Justice Burgess ordered that as part of Foster's licence conditions, he must undergo counselling for drink and drug abuse "to reduce the potential for reoffending".
A lot of joy has gone out of our lives.Victim impact statement
A lot of joy has gone out of our lives.
Victim impact statement
Mr Justice Burgess also outlined that the victim impact reports written by Mr Mills' family showed clearly how badly affected his children had been by their father's death, adding that they were "a moving testimony to the devastation and trauma" they had endured.
Relatives of the victim were told by Mr Justice Burgess that the sentence was not designed to measure the worth of Mr Mills' and that "there is nothing this court can do to turn the clock back".
Outside the court, there was a tense atmosphere among the families involved.
After a relative of the defendant directed a comment towards Mr Mills' family, a uniformed police officer and court security officer had to step in to keep the peace.
Neither Mr Mills' sister nor brother wished to make any comment on Tuesday's sentence.

I'm not sure if there is a related topic on how to deal with rejections. I don't know much about rejections only on how I've dealt with different type of rejections and only what I've heard and read. I do have one specific part I want to deal with at this moment which is finding ways to comfort myself after a rejection. A [former ] female "friend" said it to me through a text message today that it might be better for both of us to move on & she said goodbye. It was a longer message but that's the main point of the message. I replied back by saying, "I took a chance even if she thinks otherwise. She'll always be welcomed as a friend. My last message for now & may peace be with you as always =)."
I liked her more than as a friend but I decided to tell her again after about a couple of months ago she rejected me. Did I go too far that I risked the friendship between her & I? Should I just give up on a girl I like after the first rejection? I'll just end up ruining the friendship. I know I'm not perfect in controlling my emotions around a gal I like. However, I want to improve & learn.
Thank you for any help and suggestions you can provide me.
P.S. This is not the first time I've risked a friendship on girls I like. I want to stop ruining those friendships. I feel very sad right now : . I've decided to include the motto, "speak less and listen more" into my New Year's Resolutions for 2013.

A leading neurologist, Gerard Saillant, has arrived at the hospital in Grenoble where Michael Schumacher is undergoing tests.
The seven-time World Champion suffered a head injury when he fell while skiing off-piste on the slopes of the Meribel ski resort on Sunday morning.
The accident took place at 11.07am local time with Schumacher reportedly hitting his head on a rock. He was wearing a helmet.
Minutes later he was airlifted to hospital, taken to Moutiers before he was flown to Grenoble for more tests.
Olivier Desaulty, a spokesman for Meribel Alpina, the ski lift company, told The Mirror: "Some skiers, who were not skiing with him, saw the accident and called us.
"We immediately sent two ski patrols on skis. They had been waiting to do a check on something and were close by.
"They checked him and called a helicopter. Apparently he was briefly - a minute or so - unconscious. But he came around quickly and was then talking.
"He said he had hit his head on a rock. He was wearing a helmet fortunately. The helicopter arrived very quickly and he was taken to hospital."
The former Ferrari driver, who won 91 grands prix during his 19 years in Formula One, has some of the best doctors taking care of him including Saillant.
One of the leading neurologists in Paris, Saillant was given a police escort to the hospital.
Early reports claimed the German had suffered "cranial trauma" while some even stated that it was "severe brain trauma."
His condition, though, is believed to be serious but not life-threatening.
For now, however, the world awaits a news from the hospital with a press conference set to take place later tonight.

Hulu Original Series: Behind the Mask
Famous JoJo had an incredible time at the LA premiere screening of Hulu's newest original series, "Behind the Mask."
Told from four mascot's perspectives: high school (Lebanon High School's Rooty the Cedar Tree), college (UNLV's Hey Reb!), minor league (hockey mascot Tux the Penguin), and professional (NBA's Bango of the Milwaukee Bucks), "Behind the Mask" takes a deep look into the secretive world of mascoting. The 10-episode series is directed by Emmy-award winning filmmaker, Josh Greenbaum whose most-recent documentary, "The Short Game," with executive producers Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel won the 2013 South by Southwest Film Festival Audience Award.
From the very first episode, the show captivates viewers' attention. We absolutely loved the series! It's a definite must-see!

Penthouse Occupancy for the 8-7 triumph: 4
The Crystal Champagne Toast is a salute to Chooch Ruiz.
He went 4 for 5 with 3 steaks. He was joined on the top floor by Hunter Pence, Doc Halladay and Juan Pierre.
Hunter plated 2 with a two-out knock, allowing the good Doctor some breathing room in the 2nd. Doc supplied a solid 8 complete to record his 4th victory, and had 2 hits, scoring on both. Pierre atoned for Wednesday's error with 2 defensive gems.
The Leather Warehouse welcomed the iron glove from Wednesday–Pierre–after his first diving catch in the 1st. He snow-coned another in the 7th.
Rally Tal & Cap in the 2nd: Doc produced the first of 4 singles and a free pass for 3 runs.
The Glasshouse had a severely cracked wall for Jake Diekman during his 2-out performance in the 9th. He walked 2, plunked 1, and surrendered a bases-clearing double. You do not expect a totally opposite 2nd outing.
I will publish after every battle that is not washed out. The Phillies finished last summer 42 games over .500, which equaled a year of many positives. I will have many season-long highlights of puzzle pieces, especially important after drubbings and defeats.

Trader Rube:
The problem with judging talent is that it's based only on the individual, but a championship nucleus has four. You cannot see it until the 4 players interact, like 2007. However, you can spot some individual cogs: Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Cole Hamels. The other clues are obvious in the 6 dominate organizations since the 1965 Amateur Draft: You finish at the bottom of the standings and select from the best prospects. And when you've had a powerful core, you won't be replacing it with another any time soon.
[table id=150 /]
In the above table, you will see 3 rotation hurlers. Carlos Carrasco and J.A. Happ are fives, like Vance Worley or Kyle Kendrick. Kyle Drabek is not a Hamels or a Tim Lincecum. In fact, Brett Myers was well ahead of him at this career juncture. The majors is 3 times harder than AA and double AAA. Rube Amaro got a king's ransom for minor-league nuggets.
Cole Hamels:
He's had only one sub-par effort, which is a slight improvement over 2011 at this point. After a couple campaigns with low win numbers, he is the ace who is catching the breaks so far.
[table id=127 /]
Daniel Bard:
Within Red Sox Nation, the big discussion is his role. Is it in the 9th or the slot on the 5-man staff? In half of his 6 starts, he breezes through the first 5 innings, but his effectiveness declines after that.

This only involves readers who were directed here from Fox Sports. The links in this section were recently passed over by a computer's judgment. Does the national-and-all-major-sports machine understand Phillies commentary better than local fans? I discovered that the buttons and lights objected the most to the storyline when I submitted only that part. So, when the electrodes decide a Nitecap Insight isn't to their liking, I'll give my transferred readers a viewing opportunity the next day.

When she gets around strangers she is a little shy. Carrie loves to drink milk and eat jelly. She also likes to play with bouncy balls and run. Her favorite subject is Chinese, Life and Ideological, and morals. Because she often needs to have blood transfusions for her illness this has burdened her liver and made it function abnormally.

What to do with Worthless $2.7 Trillion? If You're China, offer to Buy an Entire Continent!Submitted by BleuCream013 on Thu, 12/23/2010 - 16:50
Might as well while the Federal Reserve funny 'money' still is able to buy something, right?

Fresh humiliation for eurozone as China says it will bail out debt-ridden nations
By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 4:14 PM on 23rd December 2010
Pledge: Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao offered to buy Greek bonds in October and the country has also agreed to buy out Portuguese debt
China has said it is willing to bail out debt-ridden countries in the euro zone using its $2.7trillion overseas investment fund.
In a fresh humiliation for Europe, Foreign Ministry spokesman Jiang Yu said it was one of the most important areas for China's foreign exchange investments.
The country has already approached struggling European countries with financial aid, including offering to buy Greece's debt in October and promising to buy $4billion of Portuguese government debt...
They own you now, Europe: from one master, America, to another, China.
How about just kicking the banksters out and write off, and refuse to pay the non-existent fraudulently created 'debts,' and reclaim sovereignty, instead?
Declare your Independence, Europe. Come on, now. This is precisely the time to do it, no?

Exactly what I thought this am when
I saw that headline on Drudge, "China to bail out EU"....at what price? Ownership of Greece, Portugal?
ditto that,
perhaps the newly embossed Chinese commie-capitalists are taking note of what JP Morgan/Rockefeller did to 'bailout' the bankrupt US Gvt, in the early part of the 20th century...
why attack, when you can own and enslave?
kinda connivingly 'evil'-ish, but can't say I blame the Chinese, given their option and laden with worthless Fed.Res.funny money.
what better way to unload than buy the influence of an entire continent?
the world is so nuts.
China is not communist. it is fascist.
unless of course I seriously misunderstand the meaning of the terminology. just like we are no longer a Republic. if it walks like a duck and it Quacks like a duck, it's a duck. even if it calls itself a swan!
I think defining our terms is important to our cause.
It is all of the above
It is ALL of the ists and most especially...
It boils down to the fact that China is statist, to the very MAXIMUM. And just as controlled by the Shanghai Bank & Mafia Federal Reserve of China.

The Windows You Love is Gone
Windows RT: Runtime? Or Get Up and Run Time?
Update #1, 10/26/2012: Apparently it does not take long to see the first tremors of certification woes. A Windows developer by the name of Jeffrey Harmon allegedly wrestled with Microsoft certification support 6 times over 2 months because his app did not meet minimum standards. He was not given clear and specific reasons why -- apparently little more than copy/paste of the regulations he failed to achieve. Kind-of what to expect from a closed platform... right? Imagine if some nonsensical terms become mandated or other problems crop up?
Also, Microsoft has just said they will allow PEGI 18 games which would have received an ESRB M rating. Of course their regulations can and will change further over time... the point is the difference between a store refusing to carry versus banishing from the whole platform even for limited sharing. The necessity of uproars, especially so early on and so frequently, should be red flags for censorship to come. Could be for artistically-intentioned nudity or sexual themes. Could even be not about sex, language, and violence at all.
Last month, I suggested that the transition to Windows RT bares the same hurdles as transitioning to Linux. Many obstacles blocking our path, like Adobe and PC gaming, are considering Linux; the rest have good reason to follow.
This month we receive Windows RT and Microsoft's attempt to shackle us to it: Windows 8.
To be clear: Microsoft has large incentives to banish the legacy of Windows. The way Windows 8 is structured reduces it to a benign tumorous growth atop Windows RT. The applications we love and the openness we adore are contained to an app.
I will explain how you should hate this -- after I explain why and support it with evidence.
Microsoft is currently in the rare state of sharp and aggressive focus to a vision. Do not misrepresent this as greed: it is not. Microsoft must face countless jokes about security and stability. Microsoft designed Windows with strong slants towards convenience over security.
That ideology faded early into the life of Windows XP. How Windows operates is fundamentally different. Windows machines are quite secure, architecturally. Con-artists are getting desperate. Recent attacks are almost exclusively based on fear and deception of the user. Common examples are fake anti-virus software or fraudulent call center phone calls. We all win when attackers get innovative: survival of the fittest implies death of the weakest.
Continue reading why we think the Windows you Love is gone...
The WinRT architecture distrusts its users to an extreme end: like Apple, Microsoft removes user control.
WinRT is the layer which forms the basis for Windows RT and Windows 8. Apps designed for WinRT will run anywhere WinRT does. Windows RT will only run WinRT apps and those apps must come from Windows Update or Windows Store. Web apps in Internet Explorer are the only exception.
Again, do not think Microsoft designed Windows RT out of greed. Microsoft supports open web standards even over Silverlight, their platform with a now uncertain future. Security and stability are favored over selling proprietary development tools.
Yes that was Photoshopped... to remove whitespace and make it smaller without scaling.
No UI elements were cut out, just pushed together. The full size image is just as ironic.
It makes sense for Microsoft to slowly end Windows as we know it and transition to Windows RT. Microsoft will never be dependent on a hardware platform again and they can finally shake their insecure stereotype. They certainly seem to be trying.
Removing legacy UI elements enables a less cluttered experience with their new interface. The concern is not that Microsoft removed the Start Menu and boots to the Start Screen. Microsoft did not stop there. Microsoft breaks numerous hacks to restore previous functionality. That extra effort is an attempt to make the past uncomfortable.
Windows Server is even more telling. Windows Server is not a consumer operating system and yet your choice is the "Modern UI", a telling name to occasionally replace "Metro" with, or Powershell. Visual Studio Express was WinRT-or-bust until developer outcry made Microsoft sweat. Just this week Bill Gates discussed how Windows 8 and Windows Phone platforms are "evolving literally into be(ing) a single platform." Compare Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8: Windows RT is the middle ground.
Do not be surprised if Microsoft intends to remove the cancer it considers its legacy.
… The Bad and the Ugly
Applications in the Windows store must adhere to strict but not permanent guidelines.
A curated platform is also a censored one. Microsoft will only allow an equivalent of ESRB M for North America or PEGI 16 for Europe. You might feel okay with Windows Store not carrying ESRB AO -- like most retailers -- but that is not the issue we face. This abolishes content from the platform. European gamers might be worse off as the following games exceed PEGI 16: Bioshock, Dishonored, XCOM, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Borderlands 2, The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and of course Grand Theft Auto. I just name a few.
Again, this is not a refusal to carry in the store. This eradicates content from the platform.
Steam chooses what they carry, not what you carry.
If they don't carry it? GOG.com, Amazon, the author's website, you can make it yourself...
Parental filters are one issue but a strict ban on the basis of sex and violence is a whole other one. It even puts pressure upon censoring sensitive political topics such as same-sex relationships -- as allegedly the case with Harvest Moon -- and it throws the baby out with the bathwater.
Problems are prevented by discussion and context -- not by silence.
The power of art marries societal issues with their consequences. You benefit when art contextualizes the general issues of humanity and that is especially true for an audience in a time of personal struggle. Such as the case of a kidnapping where the captor views the victim as an object instead of a real person, violence is often a result of the dissociation between actions and consequences to a being. Likewise, art helps victims recover through a similar contextualization. Check out ConnectSafely for their discussion about child access to violent media.
Then consider if Microsoft faces pressure to change their mandate and require official ESRB/PEGI rating? Getting told that your content is safe for children is expensive; even worse, those who can pay are less likely interested in art.
Before we stray too far from the topic of certification fees, Xbox Live Arcade developers must pay an estimated $40,000 to validate a single patch.
Not a full game, just a patch.
What if Microsoft decides that Windows cert fees are the burden of the developer? Consider the impact on free or open source software should Microsoft invoice them. If they do on Xbox they can on Windows RT.
Mods are at risk too. Six years ago we faced Games for Windows Live. Mike Capps of Epic said it best: "I think the thing gamers need to worry about right now is that we're seeing the console mod community coming to the PC -- which is that -- you cannot ship content to people because Microsoft is afraid of what you might put into it. Right? They are putting a cert process, or considering it, for Games for Windows Live: and that's scary."
Is artistic censorship or developer restraint not important enough? Consider a government who demands Microsoft block encryption apps. Well that is really scary. We know Microsoft complies with a law despite its political intent. Why shorten your own leash? If you build censorship, they will come.
A few silly problems: maybe Microsoft eventually wants you to include controller or Kinect support? Maybe your app replicates core functionality? Maybe you gave up your recourse when you entered the walled garden.
Seem fishy, yet?
I fear for users and developers. There will be perpetual problems when Microsoft finally drops the hammer on legacy Windows and closes the platform. The average person stresses, "I am just doing simple things." Simple is subconsciously defined as what they do: Flash support, Outlook, PowerPoint, the rest of Office, a specific web browser, doing their taxes, a game, or even printing documents. It is all simple until it is found simply impossible.
Then they are stuck.
Keep your options open in case Windows RT becomes Windows. If you truly have simple needs Linux should be dead simple. Most Linux distributions are designed for the simple and typical needs of most users, right from install. You do not need to move immediately or maybe at all. Just consider an action plan and keep it as easy on yourself as possible if Microsoft bares decision day upon you.
Does the mention of Linux remove your confidence that your needs are simple? That might be more reason to consider an open and community-supported platform.
At least then a single company cannot say no.

I do hope people will switch to linux. No restrictions there, no privacy violations, painfully simple, wide platform support (even games are coming across)
I mean, wake up people. Linux is free. And it's honest. Why all this nonsense...
If you wont use a companies product, they'll fall. Simple as that, they will have to take action to drag you back.
Very good article. And I'm glad someone is writing about this. It may be a bit naive, but maybe this could be just the push a lot of devs and users need to make the switch to open-source. Linux brings new challenges, sure. But the last few years alone have been very good to a lot of distros. Both aesthetically, and technically. For me Linux is the way to go and always has been. I may use Windows a big part of the time for gaming, but using and learning Linux is something I feel good about. My hate for Windows didn't start with Windows 8. The platform has always been a huge scam to me. But that's a whole other rant. Haha.
Okay first off.
I wanna say that I have had the full release of Windows 8 Pro for about 1-2 months, if a little background is needed. I am a IT-supporter, and we got a deal from microsoft to test the real version 2 months prior to release, and so it was possible to make apps for it.
I don't really get this.. why are people so upset about this?
That microsoft wants to control their app store.
It's not like they are making it impossible for you to use your computer like you use it everyday. you can install all the games you want and all the applications you want.
The only thing they want to certify is what goes in their app store. it's just like having your itunes app store or google play on your pc thats all, even apple and google control what's on their mobile app store.
I just don't see what's the problem. please enlighten me.
Yeah I had the RTM version too (actually my laptop or a VM on my PC had all four public builds installed), and I was all set up to make apps for it. It was a couple of days after I installed RTM that I decided I would not support the whole thing at all. I did not want to encourage Microsoft to go down the path they seem to want to go down.
The problem lies with Microsoft wanting to control their app store and that they are acting suspiciously like they want the appstore to be the only way to access content as is the case on Windows RT.
If the appstore is the only way to install applications, then the appstore's requirements (whatever they might be at any given moment in time) are the requirements the applications need to fit to exist.
There could be a bunch of stupid requirements like "All games must have an Xbox Live component."
There could be government requirements like "No encryption" or "The government must certify all apps too." -- That's not so much a Western concern but still one to consider globally.
Or there could be pressure from the cert people to prevent sensitive political topics from being discussed, again like same-sex relationships as allegedly happened with Harvest Moon on the Nintendo when it was brought to America, out of fear of political backlash of "what Microsoft lets in the store".
And if Microsoft really doesn't like you, they can pull your dev certificate and you won't be developing anything again.
This is not much of a concern if you view your PC as a tool. This is not much of a concern if you view your PC as an entertainment consumption device. This is frickin' terrifying if you view your PC as an art medium.
You can't even, as it stands now, make something and give it to a friend for them to install on their PC if it doesn't go through cert. (There's work-arounds with development, but yeah)
Don't really look at Windows 8... look at Windows RT and consider the problems that could be faced.
very good article. linux is what i use, the only thing we open source developers want is justice. force microsoft to fully open source directx; end of problems forever... not just a public sdk/api... i mean fully open source... back in 1998 or so microsoft was pitching to us that it was closed source for our own good. think of all the hardware we are saving.... yea ok no thanks...
Great article Scott! Thanks for giving me food for thought on the whole Win7 Pro upgrade decision for my PC's I was facing. I really like the underlying improvements made to Win8 and understand there is software that can bypass the "Metro" crap. Seeing as how Gabe Newell and Steam are being ported to Ubuntu and that Win7 will be supported for years to come I'll pass on Win8. I'm embarrassed to say how much time I've ruminated this year on this whole thing. Have a nice weekend!
Wow. Just Wow. So many linux fanboys and MS haters it is disgusting. Fully Open Source DirectX! Hah! I guess companies do not have a right to make money anymore?
I think the author, Scott, digs his hole deep and deeper the more he responds trying to get to everyone. It is no longer linear this discussion.
Enough with your "There Could Be..." "There Could be..."
That's not journalism or even helpful, its just speculation.
"Don't really look at Windows 8... look at Windows RT and consider the problems that could be faced"
Read that to back to yourself Scott.
My fav is....
"again like same-sex relationships as allegedly happened with Harvest Moon on the Nintendo when it was brought to America"
OK rly WTF does this have to do with anything. It's time to step away from the keyboard man.
It has to do with pressures to change the message of artistic content.
With a closed platform, such as Windows RT, you cannot even share your applications with a limited audience without Microsoft's explicit consent. As such you have content censored for political topics, language, violence, sexuality, and so forth.
So "WTF does that have to do with anything."
It has happened in the past and will continue to happen. An art medium should be based around free (as in speech, not as in beer) and preserved expression. Any time you expose an art platform to censorship it will be used and abused. Pressure through age ratings to censor "sexuality" in North America is one such example.
Companies can easily make money on open-source platforms. RedHat Enterprise Linux is the obvious example. Samsung, LG, and other TV manufacturers use the Linux Kernel as the basis for their televisions. They used Linux to make money on their TVs... including implementing features that their competitors shared alike.
"Don't really look at Windows 8... look at Windows RT and consider the problems that could be faced"
<<End of Quote>>
People look at Windows 8 and see the legacy support still there. It is. The point of the editorial is to show how Microsoft: is making moves to deprecate legacy, has incentive to remove legacy, and why that is absolutely terrible from so many perspectives.
Also, that is journalism.
((Also, as you no doubt read from other comments: I really liked Windows 8. I was planning to develop from Windows 8 including switching my main machine over. It was only a couple of months ago that I looked down the path of where Windows was headed and got very uncomfortable. Hope I'm wrong... but if I'm not -- and Microsoft doesn't shy away -- know that you've been warned.))
Thanks Scott,
This is scary but,not surprising.
Hate to state the obvious, but if it is as bad as you say then nobody will use it and it will fail. If the point of the article is to discuss how big companies (banks, phone co's,software, hardware, insurance co's) have incentives to remove legacy I think that is a bit obvious.
It all about new, new and change or diminish the old. Everyone has been "grandfathered in" with an old plan because new plans change. New iOS updates and now my first gen ipod touch (which works flawlessly) will no longer play netflix and many apps are broken. Car companies, insurance companies all big business follows this model. That you have dissected Microsoft and Windows RT and their nefariousness hopefully we can move on to say, every other major company that does the same thing.
As for using the linux kernel, there are countless for profit, closed systems that use some linux kernal or another.
Still really feels like finger pointing and FUD
As soon as I observed this internet site I went on reddit to share some of the love with them.

It's one of those tricky parental situations. How do you encourage an overweight child to exercise without causing the child to reject exercise altogether as a kind of parent-enforced chore?
It turns out that encouraging a child to exercise doesn't have to be all that tricky. Parents wield a great deal of influence over their child's exercise habits pediatric sports experts say. Believe it or not, your kids look to you as an exercise role model.
"Parents need to be setting a good example," says Paul Ribisl, PhD, a professor in the health and exercise science program at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C. "Since exercise is not included in schools, children need to have planned exercise in their life. If they are not involved in youth sport or in an active lifestyle with their friends, then parents should insist on an hour each day of moderate to vigorous activity for both health and prevention of weight gain."
Research studies show that parents' attitudes about exercise and weight play an important role in a child's effort to maintain a healthy weight. At least one parent must participate in the weight loss process for any hope of long-term success, according to a 1996 study published in the International Journal of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders.
Another important reason to get the whole family involved is that obesity runs in families: Obese parents tend to have overweight children. For young children if one parent is obese the odds of the child being obese as an adult is threefold, whereas if both parents are obese the odds that that child will be obese as an adult increases to more than tenfold. Although the causes of obesity involve many factors, environment strongly influences the degree of overweight.
Parental involvement has never been more important. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in 2009 that 17% of American children aged 2 to 19 were obese, nearly triple the number in 1980.
"Parents of overweight, and particularly obese children that are inactive, should have the child assessed by their pediatrician or a health care professional before initiating any sport or strenuous exercise or activity," says Ximena Urrutia-Rojas, DrPH, an assistant professor in the department of social and behavioral sciences at the University of North Texas Health Science Center's school of public health.
Here are some suggestions Ted Ganley, MD, orthopaedic director of sports medicine at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, recommends to make sure your kids exercise safely.
"Weight lifting is not even necessary for children, and certain sports can be detrimental since the bones are not yet fully developed," says Ribisl. "Fractures at a young age complicate normal bone growth."
He adds that overuse sports injury in children is always a problem. Such injuries commonly occur in football, basketball, and baseball -- where children may have problems with the pitching arm. Young tennis players also are prone to overuse injuries such as tennis elbow.
But the fact of the matter is that exercise is only part of the weight management solution for children.
"The obesity epidemic is not due solely to lack of exercise in children or adults and it is known that the increase in caloric intake is partly responsible as well," says Ribisl. "This increase is due to larger portion sizes of calorically dense foods, and this includes fast foods as well as sugar drinks that are so much a part of the life of children today."
In order to stay fit and get help managing your weight, make physical activity part of your family's everyday activity, says Richard Parr, EdD, a professor in the Department of Health Promotion and Rehabilitation at Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, Mich. His tips include:

California Riding Magazine • March, 2014
National Cowboy Poetry Gathering
California dressage trainer salutes natural horsemanship icon Tom Dorrance.
Grand Prix dressage trainer, instructor and author Ellen Eckstein joined the invitational panel at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in paying homage to the iconic Dorrance brothers, founders of the modern natural horsemanship movement.
Tom and Bill Dorrance ignited a revolution in horse handling and training that has spread from the American West to around the world. The brothers adopted an approach to horses that grew out of their desire to "get along" with the horse—to create a willing partner. The Dorrances shared their horsemanship skills and outlook with others. Among those disciples was one-time USET long listed dressage rider Ellen Eckstein. Based in Central California's Templeton, Ellen regularly gives clinics throughout the West.
In her search for growth in her own riding, training and teaching, Ellen sat with the natural horsemanship master for over 25 years. A student of dressage's most respected figures including Col. Bengt Ljingquist, Udo Lange, Bert Rutten and Sandy Phleuger-Clark Phillips, Ellen would often show Tom what she was taught in lessons, "and he always found a way that was not stressful for the horse to accomplish what we wanted. It was not unusual for Tom to help me with piaffe, passage, canter pirouettes and tempi changes. And Tom stressed that I needed to make what I learned from others my own, and to problem solve with the confidence that the problem would work out."
From Tom, Ellen discovered a methodology that fills gaps in riding that are perhaps easily understood, often instinctually, by the greats in many disciplines, but which were not always evident to the everyday rider. She shares this discovery in her book and DVD Bringing It Together – An approach to a Lighter and Happier Dressage Horse. They were released in 2009 and are enjoying resurgent popularity with the growth of the western dressage discipline.
National Cowboy Poetry Gathering participants in this True Unity: The Legacy of the Dorrance Brothers panel discussion were former students of Bill and/or Tom. As tribute to the master horsemen, panelists swapped stories of these renowned teachers, shedding light on their legacy during the recent gathering in Elko, NV. In addition to Ellen, presenters included Mike Beck, singer-songwriter, horse trainer and clinician; Bryan Neubert, horse trainer and clinician, and Randy Rieman, cowboy poetry reciter, horse trainer and rawhide braider.
