Vertical margins / Change resolution / Letterbox?
Hello, I just bought a cheap Kindle 3 WiFi on ebay. The only problem with it is that a small portion of the upper left corner of the screen is cracked (this is why it was so cheap). Most of the time, this is not an issue, but some ebooks have the first word or two cut off. Rotating the display sideways helps, but I'm not very fond of this orientation.
Is there any way that I can change the vertical margins, change the resolution, or letterbox the output on the e-ink screen? I have installed usbnetwork and I have access to root. I've been rummaging through the init scripts but I don't really understand much of what I see (I'm only accustomed to basic X stuff).
Any pointers in the right direction are welcome.

Review of 70051
Rating An enhanced version of the model 1108, which this unit replaced in our application. It is working well and we are pleased with it. Our sound recorded messages were good, but included a noticeable background hum. Our recordings were certainly understandable, but not as good as the sound quality of the canned messages.

Review of 70051
Rating We have the older version of the Sensaphone 800 installed. It has been up and running in our home continuously for seven years, now, and has prevented major freezing damage on several occasions. We have it connected directly to our oil burner's fault terminals. If the heating system goes into lockup, if the power goes off, if the temp in the house goes too high or low, if the smoke alarm goes off in our boiler room the unit has a noise sensor we know it within minutes -- regardless of where are -- since the Sensaphone dials out to all of our numbers. In a word, this unit is awesome. It's easy to configure, too. Anyone who has a home that they are away from for more than a day or two at a time should definitely consider getting one.

New Delhi: The Congress party Wednesday appointed Ajay Singh, son of late union minister Arjun Singh, as leader of its legislature party in Madhya Pradesh.
A statement issued by the Congress said party president Sonia Gandhi "has approved the candidature of Ajay Singh as leader of the Madhya Pradesh Congress legislature party". He is the legislator from Churhat.
The appointment came days after the party appointed Tribal Affairs Minister Kanti Lal Bhuria the state party chief, replacing former central minister Suresh Pachauri.
The post of CLP leader had fallen vacant after the demise of Jamuna Devi in September last year.

Was there an Egg Fight at The L7 Tailgate for the Jaguars Game?
Posted by Erik Manassy on Sep 19, 2011 in Main, Tailgate - L7 | 3 comments
The New York Jets had a nice and easy win against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday and it was another epic tailgate at the infamous L7 Tailgate. It has been a very long time that there was a nice sunny 1pm game for the Jets, and I can't remember waking up at 5am for a Jets tailgate (remember, I come from PA).
This week it was all about breakfast and yes, we had plenty of eggs. Was there an egg fight at L7? No but we could have as there was over 100 easy.
btomaska What another great time at #L7Tailgate yesterday… Much love & thanks to you all… It was great to meet so many new faces too! 9/19/11 7:34 AM |
Breakfast at L7
Leading up to the week, everyone thought it was a great idea to go big, and have a breakfast tailgate. We were talking eggs, bagels, bacon (tons of bacon), and the famous Crepes Bar from @CrepeSuz0106 and @btomaska . Oh, and the main ingredient, Parsley. HUH. Exactly.
So how did it go? GREAT but…. I'm wondering how I ended up bringing home 2 lbs of butter, 20 bagels, 4 lbs of bacon, and about 3 dozen eggs. I KNOW we ate a lot. I think there were 2 or 3 people who brought 3 dozen eggs themselves. So much for email coordination.
Guest Visitors
L7 has been known to get some guests from the media, friends and family members of the players and the officials of the Jets organization. This week was no exception.
I personally didn't get a chance to see Damien, but everyone was who interacted with him said he was very personable and was glad that he popped over.
Damien Keller is the brother of Jets' Tight End Dustin Keller, who had a HUGE game Sunday.
btomaska @Damien05Keller great meeting you today man. Thanks for stopping by #L7Tailgate hope you get to do it again 9/18/11 6:14 PM |
Damien05Keller @btomaska you too bro. I'll definitely need to come back soon 9/18/11 8:21 P |
Damien05Keller @CrepeSuz0106 you guys are awesome! Thanks so much for having us. You guys at L7 are great! 9/18/11 8:20 PM |
Wesley Sykes @Wesley_Sykes writes for the JetsInsider.com and was kind to hang out with us for quite a while. He conducted interviews with the founders of the L7 Tailgate and other fans. When we were talking, Wes told me that our tailgate was very cool and dynamic which was different than he experienced at other tailgates.
Wesley_Sykes Great time. Better environment. 9/18/11 9:04 PM |
Wesley_Sykes [cont.] And be on the look out for the first installment of evaluating the New York #Jets tailgating crews. TM we have @L7tailgate #Jets #NFL 9/18/11 11:34 PM |
This is high praise coming from a Patriots fan. No I didn't misspeak. He is a Hofstra alum but hails from Massachusetts. Because he is great covering the Jets, I'll forgive him for liking the most hated team for a Jets fan.

Time to put this power to good use
Submitted by 41outof40 on Thu, 12/22/2011 - 01:39We need to find out who wrote those articles and get them to talk about it. It's time for us to roll up our sleaves and do some hardcore investigative work. Somebody has to know something.

Whether Ron knows or doesn't who has written, he, as a true gentelman, would never ask that somebody would volunteer with the confession, nor he would be willing to do research himself, nor he would consider that such information is relevant.
In this rotten world of GOP politics and hatred against RP, any moral rules and gentleman's code have been thrown away long time ago.
Ok. So, let's say, we will find individual who will confess (assuming this individual is still alive).
The question: whether such new confession would generate any goodwill from MSM? Do we believe that would stop the attacks? Maybe, but probably not.
With Ron being that clean, that is probably the only thing that they have got and it is just not wise to assume that the topic will be dropped.
The issue will be excacerbated by GOP, and, much later by Democrats and Obama.
RP needs to make strategic decision and stick to his guns, once the decision has been made. Seems to me he has already made this decision and his view well known to us, but not convincing to MSM and GOP zombies.

Any body ever wonder if Ron Paul...
actually wrote the letters? I'm not saying he did, but I question everything. I don't think this is his stance, but I also know that there is latent racism in most of us, including me, so I know how easy it is to let those feelings creep out at times. Either way, I know Ron Paul is the black mans friend, and this is BS media propaganda.
My problem is how come we KNEW this attack was coming years ago, and yet there is no organic well crafted answer.? This only gives the media fuel. I don't know...Im just spitballing
It's now or never...time to hit the streets and spread the truth!

Purchased an old percussion musket at an Atlanta auction. It's a little over 5 1/2 ft. long. Has relatively short stock. Extremely heavy, long octagon barrel. Gun is massive ....weighs approximately 25 lbs. .... yes, 25 lbs. ! Sides are somewhat pitted .... can't read anything too well. Can barely see some engraving swirls. Seems to have 2 arrows parallel to each other pointing in different directions going through what seems to be roman numerals " II ". Does anyone know who, what or where I can find out about this gun ? Thanks .... Jim - Outside Atlanta.

My glads finally bloomed but they are so small. About the size of a ping pong ball. This is the third growing season for them. The first year they were a bit bigger than this but I expected that not knowing the age of the bulbs (if that matters) last year they were a decent size, not huge but bigger than this. They grow in full (all day) sun, they are kept evenly watered, mostly less frequent deep watering. Not only are they small blooms but they only last about 4 days. . . :( any help out there? |

NEW YORK - Wall Street retreated Thursday as a wave of terror attacks continued in Turkey with the bombings of HSBC bank and the British consulate. Upbeat reports on employment and the economy helped limit the market's losses.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell in early trading and then rose as much as 35 before pulling back again late in the day. Analysts said indecisive investors weren't willing to make major commitments given the renewed political uncertainty, but also given the improving health of the U.S. economy.
"Investors are very nervous about continued terrorist activity, but at the same time, they are showing more confidence in the economy and the equity market," said Peter Dunay, chief market strategist at Wall Street Access. "So we have a little battle of the pros and cons here."
The Dow closed down 71.04, or 0.7 percent, at 9,619.42, having declined in four of the previous five sessions.
The broader market also finished lower. The Nasdaq composite index fell 17.73, or 0.9 percent, to 1,881.92. The Standard & Poor's 500 index declined 8.79, or 0.8 percent, to 1,033.65.
In Turkey, two truck bombs exploded outside London-based HSBC and the British consulate, killing at least 25 people and wounding nearly 400. The explosions, which came during President Bush's trip to Britain, were blamed on the al-Qaida terror network.
Until this week, terrorism had receded as a factor in stock trading, but the bombings of two synagogues in Turkey over the weekend and Thursday's attacks reminded markets around the world of the danger that terrorist networks still pose.
Perhaps adding to the uneasiness on Wall Street Thursday was the brief evacuation of the White House after birds or possibly atmosphere disturbances triggered a false radar reading, which was initially thought to be an unauthorized plane flying near the White House.
But the economic news lent support to the market, and enabled the major indexes to move briefly into positive ground.
The Labor Department reported that new jobless claims fell by a seasonally adjusted 15,000 to 355,000. The reading, which beat economists' estimates, was the seventh straight week that claims have been below the 400,000 level, which is associated with a weak job market.
And the Conference Board said its Index of Leading Economic Indicators, the widely watched economic forecasting gauge, increased 0.4 percent to 113.6 last month compared to a flat reading in September. Analysts were expecting a more modest 0.2 percent rise.
"It's all about the unrest as far as the terrorism," said Todd Clark, head of listed equity trading at Wells Fargo Securities. "It's given people the excuse to stay away."
He added that many investors, nervous that stock valuations might be a bit high after several months of advances, are being cautious to make sure they can end the year with gains.
"The volume has crept to a standstill," Clark said. "We need to see some kind of a change in terms of macroeconomic numbers or earnings guidance to get people back into the game here."
Schering-Plough Corp. fell 72 cents to $15.28 after the drug company said its Polish subsidiary is being investigated by federal regulators.
Hewlett-Packard Co. declined 75 cents to $21.59 even though the computer company posted a doubling of quarterly profits that beat analysts' expectations.
Foot Locker Inc. jumped $2.46 to $20.76 after the shoe store chain reported third-quarter earnings that came in higher than forecasts, citing strong sales and cost management.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers 9 to 5 on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was light.
The Russell 2000 index, which tracks smaller company stocks, fell 2.54, or 0.5 percent, to 523.08.
Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average finished 2.6 percent higher. In Europe, France's CAC-40 fell 0.6 percent, Britain's FTSE 100 lost 0.5 percent and Germany's DAX index declined 0.4 percent.

CRANSTON, R.I. – Reducing wait times at the Division of Motor Vehicles to less than 30 minutes will be Ken Block's highest priority if elected, the Republican gubernatorial candidate said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.
Block was critical of wait times at the division, which he said are at a three-year high. He also attacked plans that have existed for more than a decade to upgrade the division's computer system. More than $15 million has been spent on the project that has not yet resulted in a new working system, Block said standing outside of the Cranston branch of the DMV.
"Early on in my administration, we will make a final determination on whether the DMV computer upgrade project is even viable," Block said. "If deemed not viable, we will look to recover costs from the failed vendor for our project much like the state is going after the vendors associated with 38 Studios."
On wait times, Block said the times should be reduced to 30 minutes within six months of his administration. If that can't be accomplished, he said the state should consider outsourcing transaction processing to an institution such as AAA.

Total Time: 30
Yield: about 30 chips
Apple chips are great as an eat-from-the-bowl snack or as a garnish for cider-based drinks. (Make a cut in the side of the apple slice before you bake, so that you can attach it to the side of a glass.) Chips may be soft when they come out of the oven, but they'll crisp up when the sugar cools.
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large Granny Smith apples
Preheat oven to 200°. In a large bowl, combine sugar and spices.Slice apples horizontally with a mandoline or sharp knife, very thinly (1/8 inch thick). Remove and discard seeds. Toss apple slices gently in spice mix; coat well.
Arrange in single layers on rimmed baking sheets lined with parchment or Silpat. Bake about 2 hours, turning every 30 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

I'm not saying one is more important; I'm saying there's more important social inequality matters that the gay community should be tackling like the example of not getting a job simply because you're a man who likes other men.
A bill was just passed by the Senate and sent to the House that adds sexual orientation to the list of human characteristics that cannot be used to justify job discrimination, but the illustrious Speaker, John Boehner, has said he will not allow it to go to the House floor for a vote because it would ban job discrimination against gay people, and he wants employers to be able to use their religious convictions to decide whether or not they want to discriminate in job hiring.
I wonder if that's legal grounds to not hire blacks too since slavery was OK in the bronze age.
The kind of nonsense we keep seeing from Tea Party Republicans in the House is exactly what happens whenever religious zealots have political power. Nothing constructive gets done and everyone suffers. There is no amount of damage they are unwilling to inflict on the country for the sake of their narrow-minded ideology.

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
I first contacted Jeremy Eldridge with an issue that I knew nothing about or how I should deal with it. He was very knowledgable about my issue and gave me great counsel and guidance throughout. He was always available to me when I needed him and really came through for me. I would absolutely recommend Jeremy Eldridge to anyone who seeks the help of an attorney. I trust him and greatly appreciate all that he did for me.
Jeremy Eldridge packs a powerful punch as your attorney for hire. He helped me out of a major jam. Though I do not want to get involved in the specifics of my case, his political connections proved to be most useful in getting me a minimum penalty for temporary lapse in good judgement. I would highly recommend!!
I hired Mr. Eldridge to represent me with a parking ticket I received. It was my first day at my new job and a parking ticket was the last thing I needed. Mr. Eldridge calmly and professionally explained to me the process of traffic court and helped me fill out the ticket to request a hearing. He met me at court on the day of the hearing promptly at 9am, and handled the case. The verdict? Not guilty. I walked out of the courthouse with the contents of my wallet intact. Mr. Eldridge handled my case with professionalism and expertise. His knowledge of the process assured me that I had chosen the correct attorney for the job. I would definitely hire Mr. Eldridge again if I am ever in need of an attorney (although I hope I won't) and will recommend him to anyone I know in need of representation.
I hired Jeremy on a criminal defense matter about 3 months ago. Facing a criminal charge is probably the most horrific situation a person can be in but having Jeremy in my corner was reassuring and I felt very comfortable. He always answered my calls and talked to me patiently. His knowledge of the law is unparalleled and he knew exactly what was best for me. He left no stone unturned in representing me in this case. I felt confident having him as my lawyer and would recommend him to anyone who faces such a situation. He got me the best result possible and I can't explain how grateful I am. He is definitely the best thing that happened to me in the past 3 months.
I wholeheartedly recommend Jeremy Eldridge. I live out of state and wanted to clear up a traffic incident from over 8 years ago. He was able to quickly gain rapport over email and telephone conversations. I had never dealt with any sort of legal issues before and he clearly and professionally explained details without sounding condescending. He never expressed judgement and made me feel he truly had my best interests at heart. I was regularly kept abreast of where the case stood and what the possible outcomes could be. Mr. Eldridge was honest and patient and took my schedule into account. I did have to travel to MD for my court date and meeting Mr. Eldridge in person was even more personable than I had expected... AND he managed to have my case thrown out. So, need I say more? My outcome was ideal and he made the process as painless as possible. Thank you!
I hired Mr. Eldridge to represent my son on a relatively minor charge. I was worried this charge would impact my son's future. Mr. Eldridge was fast moving, responsive, and every time I had a question, he answered it fully. I was always nervous about hiring a lawyer, but he made me very comfortable, and I understood the process. Not to mention, he won my son's case!
I've worked with different attorneys in varies capacities and the service provide by Mr. Eldridge far exceeded my expectation. Not only was Mr. Eldridge pleasant to work with - he was able to communicate the entire process. I was well informed during the whole process. Mr. Eldridge went out of his way to make sure my questions were answered and addressed every concern that came to mind. If it was not for Mr. Eldridge - my case would have costed my career. Mr. Eldridge was well prepared and represented me fairly. Thank you and God Bless you for he great work you do!
Attorney Jeremy Michael Eldridge responded rapidly with pertinent information about my case. Not only was he determined to find the best solution to resolve my case; he was concerned about my well being. I would highly recommend this attorney because of his knowledge, skills and great personality.
Mr. Eldridge answered the phone himself. I was pleasantly surprised by that. He listened to my case, my fears and my babbling about it all. He sifted through my mess without making me feel even more stupid than I already felt needing a lawyer in the first place for what happened. The price was fair (way better than the first number I called). The best part however, is that he showed up prepared and ready to win..or least to try his hardest for me. I appreciated his honesty, his willingness to really listen and he obvious knowledge of Maryland Law. It all worked out for me in the end. Thank you!!
My family is more than pleased with the services provided by Mr. Eldridge. From our very first meeting, his demeanor assured us that he was adequately knowledgeable of our legal situation. He quickly developed a professional rapport that was characterized by genuine unbiased respect. Mr. Eldridge's work ethics proved to yield consistent positive results in our behalf. behalf. Having Jeremy Michael Eldridge in our judiciary corner has been a blessing. I can say with confidence, because of our representation by Mr. Eldridge, we received the best possible outcome.
I encourage anyone in need of legal advice or representation to reach out to Eldridge and Nachtman. I can say with certainty, you will be well taken care of.

The face of business is changing daily. Long past are the days of the ego-driven business model, as organizational democracy rises up through the ashes of the last five years in business. So WorldBlu, Inc., an Atlanta-based business specializing in organizational democracy and freedom-centered leadership, recently compiled an unranked list of the "Top 25 Most Democratic Workplaces". Among those on this list is Second Life's Linden Lab.
It is reported that employees of Linden Lab are encouraged to choose their own work based on company objectives, which can be changed weekly. In addition, employees can show appreciation for each other by "sending love" through their Love Machine software application. Important company data is openly shared among all employees throughout the company in real-time, allowing a more open environment for sharing ideas and concepts.

Hey Shawn, thanks for the mention about this year's WorldBlu List of Most Democratic Workplaces. I've spent time at Linden Lab on three different occasions and love what they've created there. They've got a solid democratic structure in place that hopefully will last and continue to thrive with the new CEO as well.

That's a fine-looking pistol! I've known a few owners that are pretty devout afficionados of their P7's but I've personally never shot one. It says "H&K" on the side so I figure it's gotta be pretty good but I don't know a whole lot about them other than what makes them different. Josh
From C3Shooter: Skullcrusher, you are evil, sick, demented, twisted- and my hero!
Very nice weapon. I'm looking forward to the range report. I'm interested to see how much accuracy can be squeezed out of that 3-inch barrel. Good purchase.

Mr. Beketov suffered brain damage and the loss of his right leg and four fingers, and now uses a wheelchair. He was the first of several journalists who covered the Khimki Forest struggle to be viciously beaten in crimes that all remain unsolved to this day.
In March 2009, Sergei Protazanov, a designer at another local newspaper, Grazhdanskoye Soglasiye, died after being assaulted in the street. The next year Oleg Kashin, a star reporter for the Moscow daily Kommersant, was beaten nearly to death outside his Moscow home after writing about the issue.
Several of Chirikova's group were similarly attacked, and some suffered serious injuries.
"These tragedies hit us very hard," Chirikova says. "But it also brought more attention to our cause, more supporters."
In the summer of 2010, the construction company began moving machines into the forest to cut down trees. Chirikova's group increased their sit-downs and picketing.
In August about 5,000 people gathered in Moscow's downtown Pushkin Square, where they were addressed by Chirikova and Beketov, and were entertained by a historic duet between Russian rock legend Yury Shevchuk and Irish star Bono, vocalist of the band U2.
"It's hard to imagine building democracy in Russia without people like Chirikova," says Boris Kagarlitsky, head of the independent Institute for Globalization and Social Movements in Moscow. "Democracy isn't just about having several political parties; it's about people participating in the solution of social issues. What we saw was a local issue suddenly drawing mass attention, and Chirikova became a figure on the national stage."

I traveled to Wince Country from Chicago, and the stay at the Zinfandel Inn was wonderful. The people are the nicest I have ever met. The rooms were very clean and the breakfast was delicious. A wonderful place to stay, and I hope AI can make it back some day.

This warm inviting "castle" makes you feel like a king and queen! The host is friendly, jovial and helpful and the home and grounds are beautiful. He was able to set up a balloon ride (at a discount ;-) and suggested the perfect dining options during our stay. Wineries are within walking distance! Can't wait to return and feel like a week of vacation in only a weekend!

My husband and I just got back from Napa last week and stayed at the Zinfandel Inn on a Thursday night. When we arrived, Jerry checked us in, showed us our very large and clean Chardonnay Room and also gave us tasting vouchers and some places to go in Napa. The house was gorgeous, the pool was even better and the grounds well kept. We asked Jerry to book us a tour for the next day - and when we returned from dinner he had a post-it on our door with the place and time for the Barrel Tasting Seminar we were to attend at Joseph Phelps Vineyards, which was an experience in itself! Jerry cooked us a delicious and impressive breakfast (yogurt parfait, hashbrowns with egg, avocado, salsa, sour cream, and sprouts on top, mmmmmm). Would go back here in a heartbeat.

Jerry and his wife were very welcoming and friendly, from the moment we arrived late at night all way through the weekend to the time we left. They also made a DELICIOUS breakfast! Home was beautiful. We stayed in the Chardonnay room, which was quite large and very comfortable.

We found the Zinfandel on a last minute trip to be fantastic. Jerry is the heart and soul of the establishment and he shares his heart and his soul with his patrons to assure their delight in all aspect of their trip to the Napa Valley. He set us up with the best of the best in everything we did. He made sure we had a great time and boy does he know the right spots! Ps.... He is a fantastic cook!

integrate badly with the existing framework of an app,
duplicate existing functionality or be in conflict with
it, or pull in unwanted dependencies.2. The use of jackpatch to manage jack connections instead
of interfering with Jack itself. It's not clear from the
specs, but if this means that NSM will (or can be told
to) leave Jack completely alone I'll like it even more.3. Clearly defining the way an app should behave w.r.t. its
File menu entries (when managed). This is quite intrusive
to existing clients, but it is IMHO absolutley essential.
Kudos to the designer(s) for the having the courage to do
this instead of allowing application developers to take
the 'least effort' way (which would of course be better
marketing, but invite later misery).Ciao,
FAA world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris
and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)_______________________________________________

T-Mobile aiming for home phones with new service
Posted by Brier Dudley
It turns out the Wi-Fi home phone service that T-Mobile USA launched last summer was just the beginning.
Today, the Bellevue-based wireless carrier is dramatically stepping up its effort to take over your home phone service with a new Internet calling plan debuting in Seattle and Dallas. Plans are to roll out the service in markets across the country after testing.
Internet phone services are a dime a dozen nowadays, including free services, but T-Mobile believes it can lure customers with its quality of service and pricing -- $10 a month for a home phone line with unlimited local and national voice calls.
Called Talk Forever Home Phone, the service requires broadband Internet service and a $50 router with jacks for standard landline phones. You also need a T-Mobile wireless plan costing at least $39.99 per month.
If you sign up, T-Mobile will switch your home phone number to the new service, provide a dialtone and handle all your calls through its network. As part of the signup, it identifies the home address so it can provide 911 location services in emergencies.
This is different from the Hotspot@Home Wi-Fi phone service T-Mobile rolled out last year. That service involves special wireless handsets that can place calls over Wi-Fi as well as T-Mobile's cell network. Subscribers also get a special modem for their home, through which they can make unlimited calls via Wi-Fi for $10 per month, but it doesn't work with traditional landline phones. The service is still available separately.
T-Mobile is starting to sell landline phones in its stores, beginning with a Vtech Dect model that comes programmed with T-Mobile service numbers.
Company representatives talk about this stuff as a "platform" for the home, so expect to see more landline devices and services. In particular, the company wants to make more of the advanced features of mobile phones available on home phones.
"The bottom line is we think it's yet another innovation from T-Mobile that really transforms how people will be communicating in the home," said David Beigie, senior vice president of marketing.
"Landline phone" is probably not the right term. You can use a standard touchtone phone with the service, and the calls will route over your home's broadband line, but they'll be handed off to T-Mobile's network. Instead of Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, this is "mobile technology over IP," according to Britt Wehrman, director of product development.
I'm curious to see whether the $10 pricing will put pressure on Comcast and other major VoIP providers to lower their monthly fees. Maybe it could even push Qwest to offer more attractive voice and broadband bundles.
Beigie isn't overly worried about the slowdown in consumer spending affecting the rollout because T-Mobile is positioning the service as a bargain alternative to wired phone service.
"Given where the economy is in 2008, we think it's an excellent time for people to look at their total communications spending," he said.
It's intriguing and I'll probably give it a try, but I'm probably going to stick with my barebones landline because I want the reliability of wired phone service that can still work during earthquakes, storms, power outages and other events where I've experienced spotty wireless and broadband service.

What else should Steve Ballmer buy?
Posted by Brier Dudley
Some fun feedback on Monday's column about Ballmer's options, in case he decides to keep shopping.
"I've always thought that MS should just buy Ford or GM or something ... revolutionize the way they do business ... and then spin them off in 5 years.
I think that they could put a little bit of effort into saving Detroit.
And I think that a blank slate -- with Microsoft technology ... would go a long way to bringing Microsoft tech to the real world.
Or how about Microsoft buys AMD / ATI? That would be a steal!!!"
I hadn't thought of that one, but Ballmer already has some connections with Ford, and he probably knows Alan Mulally ...
How about buying Adobe?

We've been operating this service for two years and we're proud of our uptime track record. Any amount of downtime is unacceptable and we won't be satisfied until it's perfect. We've been communicating with our customers all morning via our support forums and will be providing additional information as soon as we have it."

Yahoo opts to negotiate through press, asks for $40+
Posted by Brier Dudley
That's how I'm reading the WSJ story today citing an anonymous person close to Yahoo, saying the board wants at least $40 per share.
The headline says it all -- Yahoo is rejecting Microsoft's bid. In other words, Yahoo didn't reject the deal, it's negotiating for more.
Using the same sort of negotiating tactics you'd use if you were selling a sofa at a garage sale, this anonymous negotiator says in the Journal that Microsoft's getting a "steal" and the offer "massively undervalues" Yahoo.
From the story:
"The company is unlikely to consider any offer below $40 per share, the person said."

Catastrophic YouTube demo failure in Microsoft's home court
Posted by Brier Dudley
Microsoft looms large in the Washington Technology Industry Association, the state's high tech trade association.
So large, you almost wonder if it jinxed a YouTube executive's keynote presentation tonight during the WTIA's annual awards dinner.
Suzie Reider, director of advertising for the Google-owned video service, was unable to play a single one of the videos during her presentation.
Her speech began with a jerky start while she waited for the introductory video to roll, but she gracefully ad-libbed with a recruiting pitch before giving up on that video.
Later she tried to highlight a Heinz viral advertising video but it, too, failed to display on the big screens in the Seattle Westin ballroom. She had to describe the video with words instead. Over and over, the videos sprinkled through her speech failed to appear on the screens.
"This is a little comical because this is YouTube and so far I've shown no videos,'' she said at one point. "It's also comical because this is now the technology industry association."
Emcee Dave Ross also suffered a glitch when the music stopped halfway through a parody he sang about Microsoft's Steve Ballmer wooing Yahoo's Jerry Yang.
The system worked fine later, however, when local companies up for the awards were featured in short video clips.
I was feeling for the A/V operators. But if they get too much heat for tonight's problems, they should have no trouble finding work in Microsoft's event production crew.

Taking stock of a few predictions
Posted by Brier Dudley
I should go on vacation more often.
While I was away last week, Microsoft became the hot tech story once again and there was some lively chatter on my blog.
Some readers noticed that I speculated a Microsoft-Yahoo merger would be the subject of Microsoft's New York analyst meeting on Monday. I'm not providing stock tips, but if you bought YHOO stock on that guess, you would have done pretty well.
Others took me to task for a post written after Microsoft's earnings came out on Jan. 24, as its stock passed $35 in after-hours trading. I noted the jump, and asked whether the stock could be headed toward $40.
A few Microsoft bears chuckled about that one, after the Yahoo deal and market malaise pulled the stock back down into the high $20s -- it closed today at $28.52, down 2 percent.
"It's now 20 percent below its October high of $37.50," commenter "John" wrote. "I don't expect to see $40 stock this year, & only give it a 5% chance of hitting it within the next 3 years."
You win some, you lose some, I guess.

Numbers game: Google users vs. Microsoft and Yahoo
Posted by Brier Dudley
Here's a game that should be almost as fun as Sudoku -- sort these numbers to figure out which company has the "proprietary monopoly" on consumer Internet services.
Challenge 2: Can you add them up to $44.6 billion?
Challenge 3: Can you arrange them in a way that gives Google a good antitrust argument? Bonus points if you factor in the value and utility of search vs. Web mail.
The stats are from a media advisory that comScore sent to media outlets today. It also offered a summary:
-- Google Web sites had nearly 588 million visitors globally in December, more than either Microsoft or Yahoo, but the combined Microsoft-Yahoo had 665 million visitors.
-- Google's search market share is 58.4 percent in the U.S. and 62.4 percent globally, vs. the combined Microsoft-Yahoo share of 32.7 percent in the U.S. and 15.7 percent globally.
-- Yahoo and Microsoft are the clear leaders in e-mail and instant messaging; combined they'd reach nearly 77 percent of the IM audience worldwide.

hehehe i like this short story, how fred dies is pretty kool.
Yeah, I was bored in Rhet class today so I wrote this little story to pass the time. I guess it's the "senioritis" that's getting to me and making me write all these silly things. Umm..enjoy it.. or not.
Once upon a time there was this flower named Fred. Fred was a very lonely flower. He was a little lone flower that just appeared in a big plain field one day. He desperately wanted friends but no one could be found! One day Fred was in a very depressive state contemplating suicide by gnawing off his stem when a little boy came running into his view. Fred was SOOO happy that he could finally have a friend now. So Fred lifted his little head and smiled warmly at the boy with his white petals spread wide. As Fred waved slowly to his new friend in the breeze his new found friend squished him. Now Fred is dead. The End
hehehe i like this short story, how fred dies is pretty kool.
tht story was kinda random but rather ironic how fred dies. To be killed by a friend tht he wanted so badly.
Thanks for the siggy Ky-lyrra
Hilarious........ At least he died happy X_X
Its quite a rare coincidence though that a little boy would just happen to step on a little flower in a BIG field........ out of all the places he could step on, he chooses to kill a flower XD
that was the freakin awsomest story ever. I laughed my a$$ off!!
My signature is a link to a forum that you should join and become a member Phantastic
Wicked story !
How'd you come up with that?
haha thats so funny. "Senioritis" is definitely the cause. I do stupid little 5 frame manga's in class. lol.
lol. very funny. i kinda saw it coming though. mighta been better if the flower would have killed the kid. that woulda been more creative. j/k
