Spiders Studio updates PC Mars War Logs with rewritten English, "strayed too far"
Developer Spiders Studio has issued a significant update to their cyberpunk RPG Mars War Logs after fans were "disappointed with the narrative" of the game. It didn't stick close enough to its French origins.

Cyberpunk RPG Mars: War Logs releases on PC
Spiders' Mars: War Logs RPG has officially released as it hits PC today via digital platforms, like that small-time, just a fad Steam thingy. It's time to get involved in some civil war strife on the Red Planet.

Focus Home releases new Mars War Logs overview trailer, due out in May
Sci-fi RPG Mars War Logs from Spiders Studio is almost ready to blast us off to the Red Planet, but to ensure we know what will await us Focus Home release an all-new overview trailer, narrated by Spiders' CEO.
It's almost 3 minutes long and explores why the studio took a full RPG approach to Mars War Logs. We'll be "forced to take responsibility" for our actions throughout our time on Mars.

Several million people consider betting as their soul income and thanks to the internet, the presence of online bettors would double in the next few years. It is an industry that survives during the high and the low! Conversely, it is extremely easy to make a bet over the internet. In this article, I am ought to discuss about this great notion. Read on and enlighten your journey towards more money.
Making accurate bets
In the past, gamblers and sports bettors made use of "manual" bookies. These bookies were considered as trained professionals, with lots of insight into the sport. Of course, the bookies are not dependable at all times! Conversely, Online Sports Betting makes use of sportsbooks. When compared against bookies, the sportsbooks are reliable and accurate.
Professional assistance
Secondly, the town's best sports betting sites will let you chose over many services. For instance, you can use the site to bet on football, soccer, cricket, basketball and many other top-notch sports. These sites will support you with their customer service and secure tune ups. So, how do professionals make use of Online Sports Betting sites?
Do you have a mathematical Edge?
Firstly, you should understand that sports' betting is similar to the service performed by investors. Bettors are expected to find betting odds and long term profits. Of course, the process of finding the right odds is easy said than done! You will not make money by betting on the same item several times. For instance, if you make a bet 100 times, how many such bets will fetch you money? In such cases, luck, skill and knowledge plays a very important role! If you don't have a mathematical edge, you may lose most of your bets.
Prop Bets
Secondly, Online Sports Betting confers patrons with 'prop' bets. These bets will make the game a lot easier! Prop bets are customized to en suite with the properties of various games. It would depend on the team, player or points of a specific game.
Surviving the Betting Industry
Sports' betting is a game filled with many challenges and advantages. The sport has lots of things to offer. From bonuses to money, rewards to fame, betting has many add-on benefits. If you wish to become a betting guru, you should be ready to face all these benefits. Anyone who survives the betting industry will make it big!
Everyone wishes to know more about strategies, which would help them during online betting. Novice bettors consider this as "costly" secrets, while few others consider them as tips. You should be aware of these facets, if you wish to become a serious bettor. Irrespective of what you deem them as, I treat these strategies as a step towards more money.
The Good Old Adage
Firstly, you should not be greedy! In accordance with the very old saying, "Too many cooks would spoil the soup", you should have control over the number of games you bet on! As you bet on many games, you will reduce your chances of victory. This is a statement devoured through several years of experience. As you decide on fewer games, you will have wit to concentrate.
The real excitement
I started online betting few years ago and ever since then I have made a significant amount of money. To be very honest, I was scared of gambling during the first few months. Since, I was not ready to lose any money. Conversely, my uncle bought me a sports guide. The guide helped me understand the nicks and knacks of online betting. The guide revolved around famous betting sites like Sportingbet and Luxbet. Actually, I made lots of money by following this guide. The guide helped me enjoy the excitement in betting on my favorite games, while being confident that I would win.
A new concept
The comprehensive guide taught me a new concept called "Arbitrage Betting". At least I have never heard of this notion! Arbitrage betting is the process of betting on both sides. It is extremely similar to gambling; however the game increases the bettor's rate of success. As I read the book, I understood that betting does not expect you to be a seasoned gambler, a coach, an expert in the sport or an ardent fan. Instead, you should be ready to risk your money for more "Rewards"!
A comprehensive guide
Honestly, I am not a big billionaire, yet, I have tested the online betting system and I am able to prove its effective nature. Sometimes, the entire theory might seem easy! Nevertheless, you should be aware of its pits and falls. When I was in high school, I used to bet on football and basketball matches. This attributes to my skill and knowledge in the game. Though I was an ardent bettor, I never understood the real lingo in betting. This was a major reason behind my losses. Today, I am aware of everything in online betting. Thanks to the "comprehensive" guide which focuses on odds, spreads, handicaps and several different types of bets.
An amusing experience
As time passes, you will understand the power of online sports betting. When compared against conventional casinos and traditional bets, the virtual world is a unique environment. The online platform has oozed the excitement of many. It is a place where many people experiment their betting skills. May it be football or soccer, online betting will let you amuse over a wide range of strategies.
Betting is an interesting sport, which has being around for several years. From formal boxing to celebrated horse races, betting is a great experience. In the midst of advanced technology, betting has become comfortable and convenient. To be more precise, the sport has become much easier and profitable. To be a part of online betting, you require a small amount of money, a working computer, a reliable internet connection and some strategies. These strategies will help you succeed in the fascinating business. In this article, you will get a quick overview through the benefits of online sports gambling & betting.
A legit Game!
Gone are the days when betting was deceitful and illegitimate. Today, the activity is considered as a legit deed, with many benefits. The sport is a lot more famous than conventional games like blackjack and poker! Doesn't this sound weird and new? This is why you should collect information about the game for a better chance of victory. Moreover, this attributes to the need for online betting sites. The professional websites will teach you how and why you should place a bet.
A perfect Game!
Secondly, you should enjoy "Money". Patrons, who don't have a soft corner during money, will not admire betting! If you wish to double your fortunes effortlessly, betting & gambling is certainly your cup of tea. Sports enthusiasts and risk takers consider gambling as a perfect game.
The faster and easier form of betting!
Finally, betting has become easier and faster. Do you love football? But, are you unable to become a football bettor? If yes, you could be a part of online football betting! The bets will let you enjoy the game, while helping you make some money. Conversely, patrons with lots of insight into the game's statistics will find the process of betting effortless.
Sports enthusiasts don't just watch games; instead they spend lots of time on betting and gambling. What would be more entertaining or exciting than the process of making money through your favorite games? Well established sports like football, golf, soccer, basketball and NASCAR are strongly related with betting strategies. These games will enlighten your adrenaline and help you make lots of cash. However, you should get your basics right for a better and safer bet! Also, remember that different sports have a unique collection of rules and regulations. You should learn to make use of these rules appropriately. With all these in mind, read on, for a better understanding of safe bets.
Betting and Cash
The era of sports betting began during early 1900s. Unlike many other ancient sports, betting is still popular. This attributes to the game's challenging nature! Betting makes use of odds. If you like a team, player or situation, you should wager on the scenario for money. If your pick wins, you will definitely make some CASH! After all, every soul yearns for free money and "priceless" rewards. On the other hand, you should make use of strategies that would help you win! For instance, if you bet on a potential underdog, you can win more for a smaller wager.
Betting and Golf
Moving on, Online Sports Betting is extremely common in golf! Experienced bettors state that golf is a patronized game. Before you bet on golf, you should choose from three different tournaments. Secondly, you should decide on a player! Sometimes, it is wise to bet against your favorite golfer. This is known as a subjective move. Finally, you should be aware of the golfing field.
An Interesting Bottom Line
Betting differs from one sport to another! Thus, bettors who are aware of the sport would survive the actual BET!

Battlefield Play4Free / Community Discussion / Tutorials, Guides and Strategies / How to improve your (gaming) experience with the Attack Helicopter
How to improve your (gaming) experience with the Attack Helicopter
03-01-2012, 03:25 AM | Post: #1DeltaForce
Hello. In this guide, i will teach you how to make the most of the Attack Helicopter.
Updates to layout, structure and content may follow, especially in the near future since i just started this guide.
1. You need a certain minimum of Trainingpoints to cover mandatory abilities.
2. You need a fast PC. This helps to spawn first in generell and especially after a map change (even a server with only one map will "reload" the map from time to time, which will result in more time spend in the Attack Helicopter. Every second of your gaming time, you are not spending in an Attack Helicopter with the designated Training is a waste of at least 10 TP.
3. It is advised to play on High Graphic Settings, as it allows you to see further and identify targets and threats earlier.
I am not going into detail here, because i assume you have some basic knowledge about how the controls work and even if not, there are tons of other guides telling you what yaw, pitch and roll does. All i have to say is, make sure you feel comfortable with the way you set the controls, because it has a great impact on how you will influence the battle for yourself and your team.
Guide about how to manually set keys & more by St0mpy:
The round begins, first priority
So we assume the round starts and you were able to get the Pilot seat of the Attack Helicopter.
Now the first thing you do is to approach the battlefield and seek to engage the opposing Attack Helicopter. This has 2 important functions:
1. Eliminate the biggest threat early on.
2. Save your teammates from air-to-ground attacks.
The only time you should delay this encounter is, when there is clearly no sign of the enemy AH yet and/or a another significant threat (e.g.) APC spamming shells at you. But never forget to be on your guard.
Aiming Missiles
Hydra Missile seems to be more accurate then Hellfire and also a bit faster.
Hellfire on the other hand boosts massive damage in a large area and can lock onto tracers.
Traced Hellfires works very reliable on ground targets and hits quite often vs traced helicopters that are facing their backside to you, in other words flying away.
Hellfire Missiles have a very fast reload time, 400 damage each and a 20 meter splash radius,
So initiate attacks always with those.
All Missile Stats can be viewed in this guide in the Vehicle section:
Both types of missiles are affected by gravity and thus will drop over time and way like bullets.
When you engage targets that are on the same/similar height like you (e.g. helicopters), you have to aim your missiles above of your target, according to the distance you have to make small or large adjustments.
Most of the times it is better to approach ground targets fast, so they won't have time to aim their cannon (Tank/APC) or place tracers (Infantry). In this situation you have to shoot your Missiles in front of the enemy, since they get carried forward by the speed of the Attack Helicopter.
When your target is turning away from you, you have to aim directly at (slow moving targets) or even beyond it (fast moving targets), this depends on the speed of your target. The same technique applies to opposing helicopters.
The Co-pilot seat features additional firepower and an inbuilt tracer. The Co-Pilot has to take the movement of the helicopter into consideration when aiming his gun, similar to the Pilot. However the projectile seems to be affected by gravity to a lesser extent in comparison to the missiles, so he can aim directly at this target in helicopter encounters on equal /similar height. The Co-Pilots Gun allows to aim under the Helicopter, who neutralizes enemies (especially infantry), which would be hard to reach without making another full turn. An aware Co-Pilot is definitely a huge plus to your Attack Helicopter, as he makes duelling rivalling AH's easier, helps to cover a part of your deadzone and has the option to place tracers, which leads to deadly accurate hellfires.
The safest method to engage an enemy attack helicopter is to sneak up on them via flank or tail and surprise them with a quick missile storm. It might sound a bit cowardly, but it is safe, easy and gets the job done, without putting yourself in unneccessary danger.
However there are situations, where you cannot avoid direct encounters with your hostile pendant. First of all it is important to stay calm. If you panic, your opponent will be able to exploit that.
The weaponsystems of the Attackhelicopter are influenced by bulletdrop like ordinary weapons. In otherwords the closer you are to your target, the likelier you are to score a hit. It is advised to be in a higher position than your opponent, which will allow you to aim directly at their vehicle, or atleast reduce the way you have to aim above your target. You can also try to fly evasive maneuvers by rolling slighty left or right, to make your rival waste missiles while saving your own. In such a situation a competent Co-pilot will be a great help, as he can already attack with reasonable precision, when you are still out of effective missile range. He will benefit from a stable approach.
Here is a short video about a dogfight or rather how you should not behave. Plus it shows how a copilot adds to the overall lethality of your Attackhelicopter, so it might have some use for now.
Video of a rather onesided round, but it has some dogfight moments, so i decided to upload it.
Alternate Views
There are 3 different views you can use in addition to your standard camera. Genereally speaking you should utilize these, to organise yourself better on the battlefield.
1. Backside View
This is especially useful to see if there is anything chasing you, in case of a jet you will also know there the sudden Beep,Beep comes from
2. Free Camera
By pressing CTRL + Mousemovement, you can can watch your sides. Useful to see if there are any dangers approaching from a flank
3. "Vehicle" Camera
This option allows to view your vehicle as a whole. Useful to get a better view of the nearby area. Especially useful to locate an opposing AH that passed by you in a close "dogfight".
1. Attack Helicopter.
Armed with 15 Hydra Missiles, of which 8 have to hit to destroy you on full HP, this one can bring you a fast death, the hellfire missiles are devastating in close combat (this is more true for the Apache, then for the Havoc). In a direct encounter (both helicopters facing each other) it is advised to have the higher position. Even if you won the initial Attack Helicopter Duel, watch for more as the battle continues (Respawn time around 1 minute).
I rate this one more dangerous than the AA, because it is very mobile, has a fast reload, damage is not avoidable by nullifying a lock and it can encamp itself using the terrain (e.g. Oman wall near D).
Most notable in Oman. You can disable their lock with flares, but as you are a rather slow moving target (at least when compared to jets), it is very likely to get locked again in just a couple of seconds. The best way to take on an AA is to sneak up out of their field of view and consequently fly an surprise attack. Check the map to see if an AA gun is unmanned. If not, it is very likely that it is manned by the enemy (the only other option would be the status of destruction).
4. Tank
It is not as dangerous as the APC, but if you pass by a tank on low altitude then don't be surprised if you suddenly miss 405 HP, which may even result in missing your vehicle if you keep going like this just a little bit longer.
You should always try to avoid damage. With high/full HP you can fly around with a certain feeling of "safety" and are less suspectable to death by a single attack. Every second you spend out of combat, is a second you are not assisting your team, which could lead to situation, where you are needed, but not present (Tank capping flag, enemy AH harassing teammates etc).
It is important to avoid encounters with more than one highly dangerous threats at a time. A simple example of this would be chasing the Apache, while crossing A on Oman. You can either focus on taking down the Apache, but are giving a free target to the AA or you can engage the AA, which results in lower altitude, which gives an advantage to the now higher placed Apache, which just has to turn around and unleash his missiles.
In your Hud three symbols can appear, warning you from various dangers.
1.Target Symbol
This indicates that an enemy with a tracking weapon has you in their sights (Tow, both the stationary and the APC version) and is firing in your direction. In general, the best choice is to gain altitude and use an alternate view to locate the attacker and possibly neutralize him.
2. Triangle
The triangle indicates that a tracer has been shot on you. When a beeping sound starts to occur it means that a hostile RPG or Hellfire, which has been launched, is moving to you. There is no 100% chance that you will get hit, but I would not rely on that. The only exception would be if you know that you will get locked on by an AA, to save the flares for the threat that will hit you with much greater ease.
3. Square with diagonally crossing lines.
This one indicates that either an AA gun or AA Missiles have locked onto you. When the beep becomes steady, the projectile has been launched. If you know the lock origins from a chasing jet (backside view), then it might be worth to not activate the flares. A jet has to have a lock on an enemy aircraft for some seconds, or the missiles won't hit. In case of an AA gun, always release the flares.
Map knowledge / Team Assists
By opening up the map you can not only check the status of hostile AA guns being manned, but you can also watch where your teammates are heading to. Generally speaking you can engage whatever opposition presents itself, but it is better to coordinate your attacks with your team movements. When you see teammates approaching a hostile flag, it is a very good opportunity to take out targets in that area, to ease the flag capture for your team. In addition you should engage spotted key targets like heavy armour, to allow your team to proceed faster. Furthermore you can easily dispatch camping infantry on rooftops and cranes, so always go for it unless you put yourself in danger. Most of the times these campers are not doing anything good for their team (recons who barely score bodyshots/ Engineers trying to get single Infantry Kills with their rpg and the like). Still they are annoying to your team, and if you can neutralize that annoyance, why not go for it?
Capturing Flags
There are people here on the forum and in the game that think Attackhelicopters should never capture a flag, because it is a waste of attack power and way too dangerous to present such an easy target. It is their mind, they are free to think what they want.
I advocate a more liberal theory: "As long as you can get away with it and it helps your team, DO it". In reference to flags this translates to the following: When there is an opportunity to capture a flag without risking death, then by all means go for it. Capturing and holding flags is what wins you the game, you can have over 100 kills and still lose. It is up to your personal judgement when to go for a capture and when not.
Simple example: Dragon Valley, my team is leading, we have A and B at the moment, while the enemy has C and D. APC enters B and manages to reduce the flag to neutral state, before i am able to destroy it. An allied infantry and apc were approaching, and i wanted to speed up the capture so i went down for hovering, as there was no other nearby threat left.
At the start of a round i capture inital flags on a regular basis, like A on Dalian when playing US or D on Oman when playing RU, utilizing the cover of the nearby building in the latter case to hide myself from early jets. It provides an early game advantage and often makes the initial dogfight easier, as there will be less attention from the rest of theopposing team on you, when entering the battle a bit later.
Full Helicopter Training (3/3)
Full Anti Armour Training (3/3)
Full "Flare" Training (2/2)
Full IFF Radar (2/2)
(2 TP to unlock Tier 2 )
These skills fall under my definition of mandatory, because they either decrease reload time of a weapon or self defence system or help you to find targets on the battlefield. The Helicopter Radar highlights infantry as opposed to the jet radar, so you have less trouble playing the hide and seek game. You need to spend 2 additional TP to unlock Tier 2 of the Equipment Expertise, so these are mandatory in a way, but they do not aid directly to your Attack Helicopter. I suggest spending one point in each APC and Tank Training to unlock the TOW /MG, which enhances the efficiency when piloting those vehicles in case you need to spend time on the ground. If you happen to be an engineer you better take the additional RPG Ammo.
Improved Threat Awareness (4/4)
The Radar show the sign (Square or Triangle) also on dead infantry, so it is helpful to check whether your target is really dead or just stationary. In addition it is one of the best general skills to have on the Battlefield, which helps if you should be stuck on the ground for whatever reason.
Tactical Reflexes
Especially the higher levels aid in localizing the enemy, which fires upon you. This can be crucial to assess the source of danger in time. You have to spend one point here anyway, if you want to unlock Tier 2 of Combat Expertise in addition to Improved Threat Awareness (non recon only)
Physical Training: Increase Sprint Speed
This skill helps you to reach the Attack Helicopter FIRST. And again, this is one the skills that greatly improves your performance on the battlefield outside of the Attack helicopter, too.
Higher speed results in getting where you want to be faster, which can decide about revive or no revive, flag capture or no capture etc.
Engineering Damage Assessment (Engineer only)
Knowing the enemy health is always a plus. It aids in judging the amount of missiles you need to invest to dispatch a hostile vehicle.
Vehicle Repair Tool 4/4
When you won't be able to reach the repair station, you can go for an emergency landing and repair the helicopter yourself. Bear in mind that you should only try this in a "safe" place, otherwise the better option is to bail.
With the Mil-28 Hellfire Damage Bug and the Apache Freeze/Lag Bug out of the way, both Attack Choppers are fun to fly, as you won't be restrained by technical issues. At the moment Hellfire Missiles might be considered overpowered vs Infantry, but atleast both Helicopters are equal now in terms of damage and control.
Dalian (might be a "feature"):
When US has D, repair on the helipads is disabled.
When RU has A repair is disabled on the carrier, except a tiny section to the very end of the carrier (where no vehicles spawn).

During one of these situations on the US side (A Flag Ru), i flew over the whole carrier and on the very right side of said carrier (when facing the inland) there was still a small section that would grant a repair. Whatever way you turn it, there is still a bug.

The Apache's Radar uses the square on all hostile units, the Havoc uses triangles respectively.

I updated the description of the Dalian issue in the Bug section, it should be more clear now.
On top of that i uploaded a video of a full round using the Apache on Dalian, in case you want to see how i fly, attack and maneuver.

Pretty much good, But one problem is facing me... I can't win any of the dog fights, I get over 40~ kills if I am lucky enough and the enemy slick doesnt see me.. I am specialized in dive, kill and go repair... But most of the time the enemy helicopter kills me before I can even fly up and go repair, and when I go face-to-face with an enemy heli I lose most of the time

I added a section called "Dogfights" right under the Co-Pilot Description and a link to a short video, which might illustrate the situation a bit better then words can do. However i will try to capture an encounter on tape, where my rival actually accepts the duell and tries to destroy me, but that might take some time.
I hope that it helps you, if there is still anything you would like to ask then feel free to do so.
Independent from that i added another section called "Capturing Flags" after Map knowledge/ Team Assists, which might show readers an additional way to utilize the Attackhelicopter.

I'll take a look on it since I'm hoping of learning how to fly properly, but I would seriously recommend changing the titles colour to something more eye pleasant, like green.
Edit: I just saw it in Delta's sig, so it is in no way a necro.

Intel® Standards – Patent Licensing Practices
Intel patent licensing practices for industry specifications and standards
Intel participates in a wide range of standards and industry specification development groups and regulatory bodies ("Industry Groups"). Intel participates in Industry Groups to advance our business interests, to support our customers, and to encourage growth in our industry.
We are providing this document in the interest of addressing some common questions about our Industry Specifications and Standards patent licensing practices.
The following practice document applies when Intel has committed to license its patents when required by such Industry Groups. This practice does not apply in cases where Intel provides formal objection to a specification pursuant to the Industry Group rules, nor to specifications developed after Intel withdraws from an Industry Group.
Patent searches and disclosure statements
If the Industry Group rules require our representatives to periodically assess whether Intel may have essential patents, any statements made by our representatives are made in their personal capacity only. Unless otherwise agreed to by Intel in writing, Intel does not perform searches of Intel patents for essential patents.
If an Intel employee does not disclose a patent that later proves to be essential, Intel commits to license that patent under the same terms and conditions as were specified by Intel for disclosed patents.
Election of licensing model
Where applicable, if Intel does not elect an alternative licensing option prior to an Industry Group's publication of an adopted specification for which Intel participated in the development, Intel agrees, subject to reciprocity, to license Intel-controlled patent claims necessarily infringed by parties who implement such adopted specification, pursuant to the rules and policies of the Industry Group. The scope of such licenses will be limited to the extent necessary to comply with the specification, and will be granted under otherwise reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of unfair discrimination.
Licensing practices general terms
License terms are granted to similarly situated licensees who are willing to grant Intel a reciprocal license on reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms.
A license from Intel will typically include the following:
- It will be nonexclusive and limited to the extent necessary to comply with the specification. It will not extend to any part, function, or method that is not required to implement or comply with the applicable specification.
- It applies only to patents that we have a right to license without paying compensation to any other party.
- We expect a licensee to grant us a license to their patent claims necessary to comply with the specification.
- Intel reserves the right to suspend or cancel Intel's patent license in defending itself, its customers, and/or its distributors against patent assertions by a licensee.
Other general terms
- The above terms are subject to change at any time.
- A license under any Intel patent does not include any assurance or representation that a license under the patents of others is or is not necessary.
Inquiring about obtaining a patent license
If you are interested in inquiring about a patent license from Intel, please send or email us a non-confidential description of your business and business plan(s) for the products you are interested in licensing to the address below (in the absence of a written NDA executed by Intel, any unsolicited materials provided to us shall be deemed non-confidential and in the public domain):

Pumpkin Pie Cinnamon Buns with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting
I have been looking forward to pumpkin season for a while and now that it is here I can dive into my some of the many pumpkin dishes on my to try list. The top item on that list was pumpkin cinnamons buns! The idea behind these pumpkin cinnamon buns was a simple adaptation of cinnamon buns that included adding pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spices to the dough and adding pumpkin pie spices to the layer of cinnamon sugar in the middle. I started out with the recipe for the dough that I used in the blueberry maple pecan cinnamon buns and added the pumpkin puree while at the same time reducing the amount of other liquids in the recipe to balance things out. While I was at it I replaced some of the flour with whole wheat flour to make things a bit healthier. Next up was the 'cinnamon' filling layer where I replaced the white sugar with brown sugar and the cinnamon with pumpkin pie spices. At first I was going to add pecans and dried cranberries to the cinnamon layer but then I remembered how much I enjoyed the pumpkin and ginger combination in the pumpkin pie cheesecake and I decided to replace the pecans with chopped candied ginger. Next up was the frosting and once again thinking back to that cheesecake I knew that I would have to go with caramel and to keep it along the lines of cinnamon buns I mixed the caramel into some cream cheese.
The modified recipe for the pumpkin pie cinnamon buns worked like a charm! The yeast really seemed to like the pumpkin as this dough rose more than I have ever seen dough rise. As I pulled the cover off of the risen dough I could smell the amazing aroma of pumpkin pie mixed in with fresh bread and it only got better when I popped the buns into the oven. (A 9x13 inch baking pan is ideal for this recipe but I only had a 8x8 inch pan so I placed the remaining buns into ramekins.) As the buns baked the aroma intensified and the anticipation built up to the point where I was eagerly peering in the oven window just waiting for them to be finished. When they came out of the oven I could barely wait for them to cool down a bit before slathering on the frosting, taking some photos and then digging in. I have to say that even with the high expectations these buns did not disappoint and I will definitely be looking forward to breakfasts this week! The buns themselves were nice and light and tender and moist and the pumpkin flavour came through beautifully. The cranberries and candied ginger worked really well in buns and the caramel cream cheese frosting took them over the edge!

This article includes a one-page preview that quickly summarizes the key ideas and provides an overview of how the concepts work in practice along with suggestions for further reading.
Many people believe that good ideas are rarer and more valuable than good people. Ed Catmull, president of Pixar and Disney Animation Studios, couldn't disagree more. That notion, he says, is rooted in a misguided view of creativity that exaggerates the importance of the initial idea in developing an original product. And it reflects a profound misunderstanding of how to manage the large risks inherent in producing breakthroughs. In filmmaking and many other kinds of complex product development, creativity involves a large number of people from different disciplines working effectively together to solve a great many inherently unforeseeable problems. The trick to fostering collective creativity, Catmull says, is threefold: Place the creative authority for product development firmly in the hands of the project leaders (as opposed to corporate executives); build a culture and processes that encourage people to share their work-in-progress and support one another as peers; and dismantle the natural barriers that divide disciplines. Mindful of the rise and fall of so many tech companies, Catmull has also sought ways to continually challenge Pixar's assumptions and search for the flaws that could destroy its culture. Clear values, constant communication, routine postmortems, and the regular injection of outsiders who will challenge the status quo are necessary but not enough to stay on the rails. Strong leadership is essential to make sure people don't pay lip service to those standards. For example, Catmull comes to the orientation sessions for all new hires, where he talks about the mistakes Pixar has made so people don't assume that just because the company is successful, everything it does is right.
learning objective:
To see how leaders at one creative organization structure and operate the company to maximize its innovativeness.

Not long ago, it seemed far-fetched to think that feature films could be made on computers. Pixar cofounder Ed Catmull discusses how his company turned improbability into reality with the blockbusters Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and Monsters, Inc.
