Vodafone pushes Red Hot renting service with Yoda
By Matthew Chapman, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 19 November 2012 12:03PM
Vodafone has launched a multi-million pound campaign that features Yoda teaching a man how to be patient, as part of an ad pushing the brand's new leasing service.
Creative features a man rushing in to his flat in order to open a new phone he has just picked up as part of Vodafone's new Red Hot leasing service.
RKCR/Y&R created the humorous TV ad, which is voiced by Tom Kane and launches today as part of an integrated campaign that will also feature large-scale press activity.
OMD is handling the media planning and buying, while Steve Reeves directed the ad with Lucasfilm's Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) producing.
Mark Howe, head of post-pay at Vodafone, said: "For some people, being up to date with the latest new tech is a big part of who they are, but the tech comes with quite a large price tag attached to it and many people take 24-month price plans to spread their expenditure out.
"On the flip side, the speed of development in the smartphone space is such that some people feel their phone is effectively old tech with a large chunk of their contract still remaining."
Vodafone's Red Hot service will offer a 16GB iPhone 5 with unlimited calls and texts, 2GB monthly internet and insurance for £59 a month, which Vodafone claims is a saving of £200 compared to one of its 12-month plans.Follow @mattchapmanuk

Back in the 1980s, George Carlin had a famous bit in which he said, "A house is just a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff." One can only imagine what comedic inspiration the late performer would've mined from connected homes in 2015, which have the ability to direct us when to go get more "stuff" or, alternatively, fetch "stuff." As household connectivity increases due to consumer adoption of broadband and wireless networks, homes (and the objects in them) are getting smarter. Products available in the Internet of Things (IoT)-defined as a state in which everyday objects are networked wirelessly and imbued with the ability to communicate without human intervention-now include an egg carton that alerts a homeowner when it's down to the last two eggs and learning thermostats that moderate temperatures in part by sensing when the home is empty.

I am a generally law-abiding citizen – I pay for my TV license, wait for the
right signal to cross the road, give my dog rabies shots on time, and pay taxes.
Yet lately I have been increasingly scared that I'm about to be shot on the
street by the police – that's the fashion police, armed with Instagram and a
very definite sense of purpose.The fear has been building up over the
years. I think the first sign of the "reality" trend was the media columns
devoted to catching celebrities and virtually undressing them, or at least
giving them a dressing down: This one is captured in a skirt too long; that one,
in trousers that are too short and wearing shoes that match each other but not
the outfit.The fashion statements, often accompanied by some kind of
icon like a Smiley or a Bibi-style bomb illustration, are meant to be funny, but
sarcasm, as we know, is the lowest form of wit, and in these fashion columns it
often gets so low it hits below the belt (which is either too broad, too narrow,
or completely unnecessary).Why am I getting so hot under the collar
about it (or even wondering whether I should be wearing something with a collar
or a plunging neckline)? Because it's no longer confined to the rich and famous
or rich-and-famous wannabes.Recently several Facebook friends have taken
to airing the dirty laundry of (im)perfect strangers in public.The
self-styled arbiters of good taste have become the petty dictators of the
dictates of fashion – ignoring the fact that wherever there's a woman who thinks
she's dressed to kill, there's another who wouldn't be seen dead in the same
style.When the first few acquaintances captured passersby wearing
something that was apparently either out of fashion or out of season – I
couldn't always tell which and I couldn't really tell why I should care – I
didn't rain on their fashion parade and let them get away with the snide
comments.But while I was skirting around the issue, more and more
Facebook friends were ahemming and ahawing at the length of skirts or making
off-the-cuff remarks about the size and style of sleeves.I often felt
like shouting, "The emperor has no clothes," but I didn't come apart at the
seams until I saw a photo that showed two young girls – the younger of whom,
according to the discerning observer, was desperately "in need of a
stylist."Even someone as fashion-unconscious as I am could figure out
that the toddler was dressed in a style that could better be described as
"vague" than Vogue – as I recall, she had a striped top with a skirt of
completely clashing design and colors. Some of the comments on the thread hinted
that she must be ultra-Orthodox because she was wearing long sleeves and shoes
and socks in the heat of summer.My first thought – which I posted – was,
"What would a secular family say were an ultra-Orthodox man to comment on the
inappropriate dress of a two-year-old girl?" Actually that wasn't my first
thought. My initial response was: I don't know anything about this girl, her
family, or the circumstances in which this photo was taken, so I why should I
worry about what she's wearing? She was a toddler: Perhaps she'd insisted on
these particular clothes in that "terrible twos threatening a tantrum" way, or
maybe she'd spilled food or drink on what she was originally wearing and been
changed into whatever came to hand. She was dressed for a day out with her
family, not a fashion show.I KNOW this is an unfashionable statement for
a modern, Western woman, but I admit I hate clothes shopping. Even worse: I
particularly hate having to shop for shoes. My idea of the best way to buy
footwear is to pop into a small local, family-run store (thus helping protect an
endangered species), announcing which color I need and whether it's for summer
or winter, and letting the vendor do the rest. On a good day, I'm in and out of
the shop in 15 minutes, and that includes the time spent discussing current
affairs, which happens to interest me more than the latest fashion
trends.I appreciate, of course, the psychological benefits of looking
good – although I believe the physical and mental benefits of feeling
comfortable override them.Still, my fear of being ambushed was
heightened as I happened across the recent rerun of Trinny and Susannah's first
visit to Israel. Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine, for the unfashionably
uninitiated, are two British journalists who have turned styling and makeovers
into a lucrative, TVoriented art form with programs like the BBC's What Not to
Wear and ITV's Trinny & Susannah Undress....Last year, they hit the
Israeli streets and markets; they can currently be seen as amateur psychologists
in Trinny & Susannah Feeling at Home, which takes them off the streets and
into Israeli houses.Their format is simple, but of course, they have a
certain style, and the fact that they are radically different in looks and
personality – not cut from the same cloth at all – adds to their
clout.They first identify a person who, in their opinion, is in dire
need of a new look (and often a new life). Then they open up a whole world of
possibilities by coming up with new attire and style followed by a brief walk
down a catwalk while admiring friends and family gasp at the sudden, dramatic
change.Such programs have their voyeuristic charm (and for male viewers,
usually either Trinny or Susannah drops almost everything, as it were, and
strips down to her underwear to boost the morale of a subject who hates her
body, cleverly boosting their ratings figures at the same time).The
naked truth makes for good television, but I don't think it adequately addresses
the real problems.I wonder what happens to the Prince/Princess for a Day
when the fairy godmothers have to leave them. The style tips might be valid long
after midnight, but what about their budget? And given the Israeli predilection
for TV reruns, how will these same people feel when we continue to see them
(warts, flabby thighs, family feuds and all) for years to come? I wish the trend
of dispensing fashion advice by ripping people and their clothes apart would go
out of style.Avoiding the fashion cops is very

It looks like Barack Obama has offered Hillary Clinton the post of Secretary of State and she's mulling over whether to take the job or not. Obama's apparent offer makes him look magnanimous and delights Hillary Clinton's former backers, so maybe it's smart politics. But there are a number of good reasons why Clinton should not be secretary of state. Here are five:
Hillary Clinton will have her own agenda (as will her husband). She's not a team player and will bring in a crew of cronies whose chief aim will be to promote the boss, not the administration. Obama may wake up one day and discover that Hillary has decreed a new "Clinton Doctrine" of foreign policy.
It would be impossible, politically, to fire Hillary. No matter what she says or does, or how insubordinate, Obama will be stuck with her as long as she wants to stay.
Her husband is a walking conflict of interest. Bill helps a Canadian businessman land a uranium contract in Kazakhstan, and soon afterwards the businessman contributes to the Clinton Foundation. Bill's personal and business dealings are embarrassing enough without Hillary heading the State Department.
The Clinton style of management–for example, pitting one faction of staff against another–would be a disaster at the State Department. Just look at how well it worked on the campaign trail.
And the strongest strike of all against Hillary as secretary of state… look at who endorses her.

Latest Headlines
HONG KONG--Qualcomm said it is the first chipmaker to produce an LTE processor for low-cost smartphones as it revealed the Snapdragon 210 with dual-SIM functionality and multimode 3G/LTE Advanced capabilities.
Qualcomm said it has broadened developer support for a low-power Wi-Fi platform that it introduced one year ago and also agreed to distribution deals aimed at extending the platform to a broader set of customers.
At least 16 operators worldwide have confirmed they are either trialling or deploying LTE Broadcast, although operators in only five European markets have publically revealed trials to date.
Qualcomm faces a fine of up to $2.5 billion (€1.8 billion) if found guilty of monopolistic practices in the European mobile chip market.
Chinese regulators said that Qualcomm is willing to make changes to improve its pricing practices in the country, which could lead to the end of an anti-trust probe against the chipset giant.
Watch maker Timex is getting into the smart watch game, and has partnered with AT&T Mobility and other wireless companies to create a wearable computing device with built-in cellular connectivity. The $400 watch, the IronMan One GPS+, has an HSPA radio and comes with one year of service for free for U.S. or Canadian subscribers, after which they will have to purchase an unknown-as-of-yet data plan, according to The Verge.
Microsoft confirmed that it hired longtime Qualcomm executive Peggy Johnson as its new executive vice president of business development. The hiring, which was first rumored last week, is the first major executive appointment for Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella since he took over the software giant in February.
> Samsung and Apple dropped smartphone patent lawsuits and countersuits in six European countries as well as Australia, Japan and South Korea, but will fight on in the U.S. Report > Swisscom...
Over the past month or so Microsoft, Qualcomm, Apple and others have had to deal with pushback from Chinese regulators or Chinese state-run media. To me, it's clear that the cost of doing business in China is going up--but the cost of missing out on a growing smartphone market as large as China is even higher.
According to a new report, Qualcomm's Peggy Johnson is leaving the company for a new post at Microsoft. Both Qualcomm and Microsoft declined to comment on the report in Re/code.

Hoiberg to coach Cyclones
Iowa native Fred Hoiberg is returning home to coach Iowa State's men's basketball program.
Hoiberg, a Cyclone alum and star player at Ames (Iowa) High School in the early '90s, replaced Greg McDermott. McDermott left to fill the vacancy at Creighton University after Dana Altman was hired by Oregon.
Hoiberg agreed to a five-year contract with a base salary of $800,000.
Iowa State is holding a news conference Wednesday morning to formally introduce Hoiberg.
ABC5 Sports first reported Hoiberg's hiring.
Hoiberg was the Vice President of Basketball Operations with the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves this season after spending three years as the team's assistant general manager. Hoiberg played 10 seasons in the NBA with three different teams after being drafted by the Pacers in the second round of the 1995 draft, but retired in 2006 due to a heart condition.
McDermott coached at Iowa State for four years after leading Northern Iowa to three straight NCAA tournament appearances.
Hoiberg was one of the most popular players in Iowa State history, scoring nearly 2,000 points from 1991-95 while earning the nickname "The Mayor." He left third in school history in scoring (1,993 points), first in 3-point field goals made (183) and third in steals (207).
He was named Iowa's top high school football and basketball player and won a Iowa state basketball championship in his senior year at Ames.
Iowa State never won more than 15 games under McDermott and has not reached the NCAA tournament since 2005.
Hoiberg will inherit a depleted roster without star Craig Brackins, who declared for the NBA draft. Fellow standout Marquis Gilstrap had his appeal for an extra season of eligibility denied by the NCAA and three others, including starting center Justin Hamilton, have announced plans to transfer.

Suicidal thoughtsSuicidal thoughtsSuicidal thoughts8 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
Feeling sad
Getting tired
Loneliness is here
Nothing seems to be good enough
Forget the future
Remember the past
Nothing seems right
And I feel lonely
Screaming in the dark
While emptiness surrounds me
When is life getting fun?
No one has the right to blame me
Just try to understand
Leaving now
Seems right
To me.

I didn't try cut myself.
I ran head first into the wall,
I didn't try to hurt myself.
I lost control of the wheel,
I didn't try to hit her.
The knife fell from my hand,
I didn't try to stab him
The fridge got unbalanced,
I didn't mean to squash him.
The blow dryer fell from my hand into the tub,
I didn't mean to electrocute her.
My finger slipped on the trigger,
I didn't try to kill him.
Why do they have me here?
Why do they make me hug myself?
Why do they keep me in a white room?
Why do they call me insane?
Why did they trust me with a pencil and paper?....
Why did the point of the pencil enter their necks so easy?
Why did my knuckles knock out so many teeth?
Why did the floor beckon for so many heads?
Why do I love my hands being stained crimson?....
TortureSupported by the cold wallTorture9 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Weakly he slumps back
Pressed against his bare flesh
Hanging his head in the black
Quivering as his mind aches
His withering figure collapses
A skeletal ball on the hard floor
As his every thought elapses
Alone and never acknowledged
Slowly deceasing, rotting away
In the midst of not knowing
About the outside in any way
Locked away from everything
The anguish and pain cascading
As his mind caves in on itself
Tears of tortured pain escaping
Freely flowing he trembles
Weak and small in the dark
He crawls slowly on the floor
Scraping a bleeding fresh mark
Sobs fill the dead silence around
A tear stained horrid shriek
A scream of total loneliness
As he falls into all that's bleak
Anguished he had nothing left
Nothing left within his frame
But empty thoughts
Of how the unknown made his pain
Suicidal Love NoteYou're like a bullet to my head,Suicidal Love Note6 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
A knife to my heart,
A bat to my skull,
You tear my limbs apart.
You're like a rope strung to my neck,
A pair of chains shackled to my feet,
No need to tie me down,
Because I've already been beat.
I see the ice in your eyes,
The passion, hate, love, and lies,
And as I read your note I see,
The path you've taken, without me.

a cold cruel heartless life,
and all I want to do is sink back into the night,
I am not excepted here,
amongst the men with countless fears,
I am not wanted here,
they have made that oh so clear,
I don't want to live a life,
where all of life is but a fright,
I can not live a life,
cowering from the light,
I sit in the shadows of my pain,
to watch the days just slip away,
shun from the world of all humane,
my heart grows colder as I go insane,

I see you're hiding behind these precious things that the others care so much about.
I see you're upset with who you are, in fear that who you are might upset others.
I see you're broken, and I see, you're outspoken. You're lost and confused.
I see you're trying to hide something.

You can show me.

This is a brief written work so that you can get to the point quickly.

GONE just like that, no trace, no memory and not even history itself because time ONLY exists within the boundary of that bubble, your life meant nothing, you might even have been an imagination or a computer programme, a test even, this bubble could have been created by something far more powerfull that can harnest the universe, such external force and that external force could tell us why we were created within that bubble, so that leads to a answered question in that bubble.
But the problem still remains, why does the external force outside the universe exist? sure you would probably find another second external force outside that external force i just mentioned, this problem would

legislative wrap-up
Texas legislative wrap-up: How were businesses affected?
More than 1,400 bills made it through the biennial session, leaving plenty for businesses to digest.
- Staff Dallas Business Journal
(Page 3 of 4)
Business-based research and development
House Bill 800 passed so say hello to R&D incentives. Companies have a choice between a franchise tax credit and a sales tax exemption for materials, software and equipment used for R&D.
The Losers:
Construction companies that build university buildings
The failure of legislation to secure so-called tuition revenue bond payments for Texas universities translates to more than $2 billion worth of lost work for construction companies. Some lawmakers are trying to resurrect the construction bonds during the special session.
Tesla Motors Inc.
Legislation that would have allowed the California electric car maker to sell direct to customers rather than through dealerships died. The Texas Automobile Dealers Association argued it would've been bad for car buyers and the industry.
Other green-car manufacturers
Almost all the other bills in favor of alternative-fueled vehicles, such as providing grants for natural gas fueling stations and rebates for electric cars, failed to get out of committee. Expect the push to continue in the next session.
Capitol land grabbers
Developers across the state were interested in public-private partnerships to redevelop within downtown Austin's Capitol complex, but consider it a no-go after legislation limited the Texas Facilities Commission and the General Land Office's ability to develop and operate a project with the private sector's help.
Gun manufacturers
A bill proposing economic development incentives for manufacturers of firearms, firearms accessories and ammunition was shot down. Another failed bill proposed exempting Texas-based firearm businesses that only sell their products in Texas from federal regulations.

What are you doing this afternoon? What are you doing this weekend? What are you doing next week? I have the answer for you and its enjoying sun. What a great summer we had and now that sun is sticking around into the fall. I guess I should not say the fall just yet as fall does not begin until next weekend. With this much sun and fun I hope your still getting outside and doing stuff man. Don't forget the overcast and grey skies will be back soon enough and you will miss that sun, son.
Well what are you doing this weekend Ted? I just assume that is what you are asking since you are reading my blog. I am doing two of my favorite words....Portland Away. Yes I blogged about the last trip as well but I love taking the buses down with the ECS guys and girls. For the record ladies when I say the ECS guys I do mean the whole ECS not just the dudes. Anyhow I am getting up bright and early to make that trip on Saturday then Sunday I will most likely be couch bound. I am not saying I am like God but the guy had a good idea with the whole rest on Sunday thing. Speaking of which if your wife or your husband wants to something on Sunday and you don't want to I say fire back at them "what your better than God? Right we should be resting" That's all I got for today folks and its a busy time of year so I am going to sound off on all my teams this weekend. Go Stags, Go Terps, Go Gunners, Go Skins and 100% Go Sounders and F**k Portscum

I have created a small codeigniter application. one of the pages that needs to be protect is a flash page produced by some software which creates a series of other files (images, xml etc).
This file and its assets needs to be placed in a specific folder (.e.g /websiteroot/flash). Is it possible somehow to protect this file from direct access and only be available through a codeigniter page?

This has to have been the easiest Gnome upgrade ever as far as the Gnome 3 versions go.
Gnome OCR and Other Stuff
I was looking for an OCR app to use with Gnome/Gentoo and decided to give OCRFeeder a try. It is available in the an overlay which makes it easier to keep up with for updates. It is found in the anyc overlay.
layman -a anyc then emerge ocrfeeder (have to unmask)
WTF!!! A lot of rebuilds and new packages … that means probable trouble. Yep, mplayer2 will not compile. One of the updates was for ffmpeg and that had me worried that I had run into my first libav–ffmpeg blowup because I use ffmpeg rather than the mandated libav.
So, I unmask mplayer2-2.0_p20131009-r1 and still get the error:
libmpdemux/aviheader.c: In function 'read_avi_header':
libmpdemux/aviheader.c:600:8: warning: ignoring return value of 'fread', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
fread(&magic, 6, 1, fp);
libmpdemux/aviheader.c:605:8: warning: ignoring return value of 'fread', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
fread(&priv->idx_size, sizeof(priv->idx_size), 1, fp);
libmpdemux/aviheader.c:616:10: warning: ignoring return value of 'fread', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
fread(idx, sizeof(AVIINDEXENTRY), 1, fp);
libmpdemux/demuxer.c:48:2: error: #error MP_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE is too small!
#error MP_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE is too small!
Makefile:536: recipe for target 'libmpdemux/demuxer.o' failed
Well, I try emerge @preserve-rebuild without mplayer2 and now I get this for /vlc-2.1.2:
checking for AVCODEC… yes
configure: error: libavcodec versions 56 and later are not supported yet.
Yep, vlc is giving me issues. Now I am on the slippery slide of getting off the Gentoo path, so I up the stakes, I unmask media-video/vlc-2.1.5-r1 and try again. You might ask why jump up to 2.15-r1 and I would reply that if I am going to blow things up badly then I might as well go big.
Great, now k3b errors on compile! Unmask k3b-2.0.3-r1 and emerge without problems. Okay, so where am I now? Yep, back to this mplayer2 issue:
libmpdemux/demuxer.c:48:2: error: #error MP_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE is too small!
#error MP_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE is too small!
I don't feel like going to battle for mplayer because I only use vlc or others, so a quick:
equery d mplayer2
results in:
* These packages depend on mplayer2:
media-video/smplayer-14.9.0-r1 (media-video/mplayer2[libass,png,X])
emerge –unmerge mplayer2 smplayer
Now what was I doing? Yep, OCRFeeder install. Well, that went okay finally, but OCR engines have to be installed. I installed gocr, ocrad, cuneiform, and tesseract. OCRFeeder lets the user select the engine.
Another day in Gentoo world ….
More Snow …
Snow Day!
Tracker Thrashing at Gnome Boot
Use Gnome? What is Tracker? Well, here is the official description:
Tracker is a search engine, search tool and metadata storage system.
It allows you to find the proverbial needle in your computer's haystack as well as providing a one stop solution to the organisation, storage and categorisation of your data.
Source: Tracker Wiki
I would add that Tracker kills my system at boot. Maybe not kill, but brings it to a crawl. I have thought about disabling it, but sometimes I like the Gnome desktop search. My fix for the boot issue:
/etc/xdg/autostart littleturd autostart # ls -l tracker* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 524 Dec 30 21:33 tracker-extract.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 532 Dec 30 21:43 tracker-miner-fs.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 597 Dec 30 21:44 tracker-store.desktop
Now change the following in each of the above files:
Of course, resetting things helped too.
/etc/xdg/autostart tracker-control -r :Kill all Tracker processes and remove all databases tracker-control -s :Starts miners (which indirectly starts tracker-store too)
Last, don't be dumb like me who mounts his NAS in his home directory, know what directories tracker is set to scan!
Virtualbox in Seamless Mode
Another day, another kernel and that VMware problem
Yep, another day, a new kernel:
Linux littleturd 3.19.0-gentoo-mgreene #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 10 19:08:38 EST 2015 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
What does going from 3.18.x to 3.19.0 mean for me? The damn Vmware modules don't compile, so it is off to remember how to fix it. Of course the old trusty Arch page has the answer: 3.19 kernels
Every time I have to do this I have to ask myself, "Why the hell do I have VMware installed?" The truth is that I installed it to run my NAS firmware to try something, but that was a long time ago. So once again I should just remove it … but what if I need it?
Bluefish 2.2.7 on Gentoo
Gentoo finally updated to Bluefish 2.2.6, so I know the latest version must be out which is 2.2.7. In case you do not know:
Bluefish is a powerful editor targeted towards programmers and webdevelopers, with many options to write websites, scripts and programming code. Bluefish supports many programming and markup languages.
Unfortunately, I already use 2.2.6 and want 2.2.7. Just to make things easy, I download and unarchive then use the Gentoo configure to setup everything:
./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --disable-dependency-tracking --libdir=/usr/lib64 --docdir=/usr/share/doc/bluefish-2.2.6 --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-update-databases --disable-xml-catalog-update --enable-nls --enable-spell-check --enable-python
Follow that by make and, if everything works, make install. Now the latest version of Bluefish is installed.
Gentoo Java emerge issue
Once again portage tells me there is an Oracle Java update and I already know it will have to be downloaded manually and moved into /usr/portage/distfiles. I do this, expecting everything to install without a hitch, but it does not. I get the dreaded "tar: This does not look like a tar archive" (see below) and I have forgot why this happens as usual. The solution is simple, the archive needs to belong to portage:
