News: Global Food Contract Testing Lab Revenues Exceed $3 Billion in 2013
Food companies around the world are sending an increased amount of quality and safety testing to third-party contract testing laboratories, according to a new report from Strategic Consulting, Inc., a provider of market research to food safety diagnostics companies. Total revenues for food contract test labs are estimated to reach $3.05 billion in 2013, up from $1.95 billion just five years ago, at a compound annual growth rate of 9.4 percent worldwide.
News: New Prevention Tools to Improve Food Safety in Restaurants
Increased awareness and implementation of proper food safety in restaurants and delis may help prevent many of the foodborne illness outbreaks reported each year in the U.S., according to data from the CDC. Researchers identified gaps in the education of restaurant workers as well as public health surveillance, two critical tools necessary in preventing a common and costly public health problem.
News: Consumer Organizations Against Proposed USDA Poultry Rule
Last year, the USDA FSIS proposed a new regulation that would allow poultry processing plants to increase line speeds from 32 turkeys per minute to 55 turkeys per minute. Although the rule was designed to improve food safety by automating some aspects of the inspection process, consumer organizations feel the proposed changes do not account for the expected adverse impacts that a faster line speed will have on worker health and safety.
News: Do Imported Spices Pose a Health Risk?
In response to concerns over the effectiveness of current control measures to reduce or prevent illness from consumption of spices in the U.S., the FDA released its report "Draft Risk Profile: Pathogens and Filth in Spices" on October 30th. What followed was a string of media coverage alerting the public that their spices can contain anything from whole insects to rodent feces.
News: Proposed Rule on Animal Food Production Released
The preventive controls in the proposed regulations would apply to domestic and imported animal food, including pet food, animal feed, and raw materials and ingredients. The CGMPs, while similar to the proposed human food CGMPs, are not identical; they do not address certain practices that do not pertain to animal food, such as allergen cross-contact, according to the FDA.
News: 'Identify, Capture, and Share': Essence of New Dairy/Deli/Bakery Traceability Guideline
The guide was developed jointly by GS1 US, the International Dairy-Deli-Bakery Association, and the International Dairy Foods Association. It applies to all types of dairy, deli and bakery products, and includes detailed instructions on product identification, use of batch/lots numbers, barcodes, and other traceability standards. A step-by-step recall guide is also included.
News: Breast Milk Obtained Through Internet Sites Frequently Contaminated
Samples of human breast milk purchased through Internet milk-sharing sites were frequently contaminated with pathogenic bacteria and exhibited high overall bacterial growth, a recent study found. Consumption of milk obtained from these largely unregulated websites can introduce risks for infants, especially those born preterm or with immunecompromised status, the lead researcher says.
News: Speeding Up the Concentration Step in Food-Pathogen Detection
One of the most stubborn bottlenecks in rapid detection and identification of foodborne pathogens has long been the very first step: Concentration of enough cells to accurately identify the pathogen. Current standard methods of cell concentration take about 24 hours, but a new method developed by researchers at Purdue University could cut that time to as little as one hour.
News: Food Safety Issues Highlighted During Government Shutdown
President Obama signed a bill on October 17 to reopen the federal government and end the 16-day shutdown. Throughout the partial federal government shutdown, food safety issues occupied prominent spots in the pages of the nation's newspapers.
News: What do Jensen Farms Criminal Charges Mean for Industry?
The latest developments in the case now has the two owners filing a lawsuit blaming a food-safety auditor that didn't pick up safety problems and gave the farm a "superior" rating a month before the outbreak. The Jensens are expected to plead guilty on October 22 under a deal with federal prosecutors.

Stab his gums with my equipment and then tell him it's his fault he's bleeding; that it's a result of him not flossing enough.
My experience with dental professionals would indicate that such is the correct way to be a dentist.

US Patent Office Invalidates Apple's "Rubber Banding" Patent 213
from the kill-software-patents dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Seen this on terminals long ago think they were zerox, while it didnt bounce it did behave like it had weight an friction. Oh I forgot "On a Cell Phone"
Why can't this crap happening DURING the trial?
The patent situation has gotten completely out of control. What was once the very capitalist means to inspire and reward creativity is now the very anti-capitalist means to stifle competition and commit lawfare.
The patent system need to be reformed as badly as any government run bureaucracy ever has. It's not just in the US either, these problems are epidemic on a world wide scale. When lawyers become more important in product development than engineers you know the system has reached a crisis point.
This is what the rascal Florian Mueller has to say:
I stopped reading there, anything Florian Mueller has to say is irrelevant.
And rather too late. Apple clearly knows that it's idiotic patents won't hold up in the long run. What counts is that a competitor was hamstrung for some period of time. The object of the game isn't to ban products; Apple knows perfectly well that sooner or later the bulk of its patents are going to be rejected. The point is to cripple competition just long enough to release its own products.
The USPTO, with these bogus patents, is basically creating value out of nothing. I think the reason the gov't won't touch patent reform with a 10 foot pole is that the US economy doesn't produce anything anymore, and the destruction of this bogus value is the destruction of one of the only things the US produces anymore. Its like they think we can hoodwink the world into believing there's a significant value to 1-click and a stupid rubber band GUI effect. Yes, there's some value to these, but right now its grossly inflated by a few orders of magnitude by our broken patent system.
Just because its said loud enough and repeated by policymakers doesn't make it true. The longer this goes on, the more painful the bubble pop is going to be when someone like China stands their ground.
Why can't it happen BEFORE the trial is a much better question.
But isn't that the ideal way to run government? Like a business? Instead of stealing our hard-earned money?
I really, really hope that's sarcasm...
If not, I'll make you a deal: I'll get the government to stop "stealing your money," and in return, you stop using the services and infrastructure that "stolen money" pays for.
This is what the rascal Florian Mueller has to say:
I stopped reading there, anything Florian Mueller has to say is irrelevant.
Can somebody please offer a cluebat to the BBC, who keep quoting him as though anything he has to say is worthwhile? Thank you.
Apple genuinely believes Android infringed...
Apple does not genuinely believe anything except that it must defend its margins by fair means or foul.
> This rejection means nothing.
It means quite a bit: an invalidated patent cannot be the basis for an injunction.
With your bare hands?!?

Two UNH Women's Hockey Players Transfer In Wake Of Coach's Firing
University of New Hampshire women's hockey players Megan Armstrong and Alexis Crossley will transfer from Durham in the wake of the firing of their former head coach, Brian McCloskey.
Crossley, of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, will go to Boston University, while Armstrong, of Edina, Minn., is going to St. Lawrence University. Both are entering their junior year.
The former Wildcat defensemen said that the aftermath of McCloskey's firing led to their decision. They each said they were eager for a fresh start at a new school with a more stable environment than the one in Durham. Until last week, the team still did not have a head coach.
After McCloskey was fired on Dec. 5 for "inappropriate physical contact with a player on the bench" during a home game against Ohio State on Nov. 30, the Wildcats went 3-13, losing the last ten games on their schedule. In the Hockey East tournament, they lost 8-1 to Boston College.
"I love Durham. I'm going to miss it," Armstrong said. "But at the same time I just need to get good grades and get out of here and start fresh up there."
Crossley called her final months at UNH "bittersweet."
Max Sullivan is Sports Editor at The New Hampshire, UNH's student newspaper. To read his full story, click here.

New "bench' for a router table

Last summer, I picked up a router "table" by SKIL at a garage sale. $20 with everything BUT a router Later on, picked a B&D 1/4" Industrial all metal router. Managed to assemble the two together But, there were a couple problems. First, this thing is sitting ON my tool chest. Secondly, it is too short to set on the floor. Had some metal 3×3 from an old bed frame. Cut the two pieces down into four "legs" @ 27-1/4" long. Had some ...

After almost a month away in Europe, London and France, I am back and working on the boxes again. It was really nice to go back home as I haven't been able to do so for 4 years. It was also nice to be back, through away the jacket and sweater, an put on the flip flops. Well, regarding the boxes. When I came back I put the already cut bone leaves in green dye and while waiting to feel up the holes in the marquetry, I started working on the inside of the boxes....

Gluing up was quite an interesting time with so many pieces to go together at once. I did the ends first then dry fitted everything to make sure all of the joints would fit up square prior to adding the glue and clamping (using the offcuts from the legs when clamping) I have added one coat of Danish Oil but need to get the lid on before I can finish the handles and add finish to them.

More of the build for the Ultimate China Cabinet [prior photos]. I made heavy use of my Kreg Jig for this project along with a Rockler Shelf Jig. The carcass is made from birch plywood and the base is made of select pine purchased from Home Depot. Base uses t-nut levelers and provides a flat level surface to mount the carcasses. —wish I had purchased the Kreg HD jig prior as it would have been more applicable for the base. Most of the plywood breakdown was done on my assembly t...

Veepstakes Part Five: Marco Rubio
Even before Mitt Romney secured the Republican nomination, Marco Rubio's name was often pitched as a potential running mate for the eventual GOP winner. So how does the Florida Senator stack up in the Veepstakes?
FOX News Radio's Jared Halpern takes a closer look at Marco Rubio in our ongoing series "Veepstakes":
Audio clip:
Marco Rubio is such a popular choice for a running mate, when a report surfaced the Florida Senator was not being considered, Mitt Romney responded within hours.
(Romney) "Marco Rubio is being thoroughly vetted as part of our process."
Rubio could help Romney make up his deficit with Hispanics and win Florida.
(Rubio) "The point that I make is immigration is a very important issue in the Hispanic community, but the vast majority of us do not wake up in the morning and think about immigration all day."
As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Rubio has logged plenty of miles and been outspoken on the administration's response to the Arab Spring.
But Rubio has not appeared on the campaign trail for Romney as often other potential short-listers. And polling suggests Rubio still lacks name recognition.

She's just so pretty
and I'm not good looking either.
I wish there was some way
I could just talk to her.
I truly wish to impress her

Why does sound volume vary so much on TV?
Since I've been using the digital converter box, it seems like I'm constantly having to adjust the sound volume. Some stations are too loud and others are too soft. Any ideas why this is happening?
I'm not sure why it would be different now you're on a converter box but it may be something to do with how the box handles the 'demuxing' of the mpeg signal.
My hitachi tv has an option to adjust the default sound level for a particular channel - you might want to see if your tv has the same option, if the levels are consistent it ought to solve your problem.
With cable tv like I have, the problem is poor quality control back at the company's main distribution outlet. There should be a 'master control' room that checks the levels of everything going out. I suspect it's something about your converter box, since it's a new issue.
Take a look at the manual or the internal menus if it has them, or the manufacturer's website and see if they offer any solutions, otherwise.
You can buy a volume control box. I've got the same problem and found a box at a major online electronics store. I'm sorry I don't recall the name. It's a 3 letter
name , I believe, which is commonly mentioned in forums.
It was 30.00.
When I wrote to our local station's chief engineer he said the network insisted that output levels be at a certain point while other networks required other levels. It's
so bad that I sometimes avoid stations if I find anything
even remotely interesting on an alternate channel. I
am using OTA signal not cable. But the network still is the one who sets the level to cable and
it's probably in the contract what audio levels must be maintained to the public if they
are to be allowed to broadcast.

Canon camera manuals
Any help with where to find the printed manuals for Canon camera PowerShot SX50 HS? I have checked with Canon and they don't print the manuals but will print in 8x11 size!!! I was going to get them printed but one manual had 286 pages!!!! Any ideas??
Possible on eBay?
Perhaps this one?
You can download the manual right here in pdf:
Here is a link that might be useful: Canon manual SX50
I know there are sites that will print and bind manuals for things. My friend used a site for her smart phone manual as it didn't come with a paper one and she didn't want it printed on big size sheets so paid $20 I think it was and they made her a nice small spiral bound manual that fits in her purse. I don't know what company it was but there are probably a few online you can look into. Mary
That's what I did for my new camera and it was so handy having the PDF on my phone and not have to dig the manual out of the car every time I needed to look something up on vacation. Some people are just old school and would still prefer the paper manual. Mary
acraftylady, Can you find out where your friend got her manuals printed? So far I have only found the 8x11.
"Some people are just old school and would still prefer the paper manual. "
Yes, me. I don't even have a cell phone.
Thanks for all the suggestions. plantbug
This might be a generational/technology comfortable type thing, but I'd suggest to you that most people today would find a 200+ page digital file MUCH more convenient to have than a 200+ page book. Not to state the obvious, but it's also a significantly cheaper format for the manufacturer to supply, whether on a CD or via download.
My new LG came with only an 8 page Quick Start brochure. I downloaded the the .pdf manual onto the computer, and copied the file to my One Drive (Sky Drive) account. No printing necessary as I see it..
This post was edited by damccoy on Mon, Feb 24, 14 at 20:04
I have done the same thing with my HTC One smart phone as far as keeping a pdf file on my computer.
Nothing came with this new HP computer, but I'm keeping the manuals that came with the old XP because there are complete guides to upgrading and trouble shooting, along with good pictures. Even though it's a different machine, basically it's much the same inside, so these might come in handy for me. All I could find online was the barest bones of information and illustrations.
Ok here is where my friend ordered the printed bound manual for her phone. She was very pleased with the service. I saw the booklet and thought it was done very nice and compact in a spiral bound. Mary
Here is a link that might be useful: printed manuals
You are righ; Canon does not supply a manual with the PowerShot SX50 HS camera.
Here'e what I did: I downloaded the manual from Canon's web site - all 285 pages in pdf format. I double sided printed the manual choosing the option that gave me a print zone of approximately 4 1/8 by 5 11/16 inches. Since double sided printing can get messed up, I broke the job into pieces printing a range of pages for example, printing 1 - 20 pages in the first batch, and then print 21 - 40 pages for the next batch, etc. Be careful to choose page ranges that ends with the the last page on the backside of the sheet (an even numbered page). Doing the job in sub-batches allows you to refill the sheet feeder when it gets low and to abort a batch in case of a foul up.
The printout came out double sided on full sized pages and the front and back side print zones were perfectly aligned with each other.
Next, I took the printout to my friendly Office Depot store to finish. They trimmed the sheets leaving a small border around the print zone and about 5/8 border on the left side for binding. I had my pages punched and bound with substantial plastic sprial material. This permits the book to be opened and folded back on itself. Office Depot added heavy translucent front and back covers. These covers protect the pages and keeps them from curling.
I am very pleased with the results. The cost for the bindery was about $6. Office Depot could have bound the pages with adhesive like a paper back book, but I chose the spiral binding to allow the book to open flat and to turn back on itslef. It makes a nice field guide.
The downloaded file can be printed to full letter size to make an office reference copy, however, I find that is not needed so long as I have the smaller camera bag copy.

EcoSMART Goes Organic With Insecticides
Read More
EcoSMART Technologies, a manufacturer of pest management products, has developed an insecticide and fungicide for integrated pest and disease management. Both products are effective against a broad spectrum of pests, and they're less of a threat to beneficial organisms. Ecotrol EC, the insecticide, has a unique dual mode of action that works by blocking the octopamine receptor in many insects, resulting in paralysis, quick knockdown and kill. Octopamine receptors are unique to insects, and Ecotrol EC has no adverse effects on mammals and birds. Sporan EC, meanwhile, is a fungicide that works as a cell membrane disruptor of fungal hyphae and spores. Sporan EC has both curative and preventative properties, and it is OMRI listed along with Ecotrol EC. "Fortunately for our users, our products are classified as 'minimum risk,' have a zero reentry interval and zero pest harvest interval," says Steve Stringer, vice president of the agriculture division at […]

Grower Tool: Diagnosing Pests In The Northeast
Read More
The Interactive Plant Manager, a new online guide from the New York State Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program, can help growers diagnose and deal with insect pests of ornamental shrubs. Growers can get started from the IPM homepage, found here, by naming the insect involved, the affected plant, the insect category or symptoms of the plant. The Interactive Plant Manager also includes easy-to-read fact sheets, photos of pests and the damage they cause and lifecycle charts to help time the least toxic controls. The focus of the Interactive Plant Manager is common insects of the Northeast. Insects and shrub diseases will be added to the database later this year and into 2009.

Scotts Pesticide Recall Leads To Firing
Read More
Scotts has fired a rogue employee who violated federal requirements for pesticide registration, an action that resulted in a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency order for a nationwide recall. The EPA ordered Scotts, a Marysville, Ohio-based company, to immediately stop selling and distributing products with invalid registration numbers listed on packages. One mislabeled Scotts product is Miracle Gro Shake 'n Feed All Purpose Plant Food Plus Weed Preventer, and another is marketed under the name "Scotts Lawn Service Fertilizer." "Over the last several days, we learned that one of our former employees deliberately circumvented company policies, caused invalid product registration forms to be submitted to federal and state regulators and then hid those actions from co-workers and managers," says Jim Hagedorn, Scotts chairman and CEO. "We sincerely apologize to the EPA, our retail partners, our consumers and our shareholders." Compliance with government regulation is not optional, Hagedom added, and Scotts has […]

Whitefly Watch

Whitefly control has been a challenge this year, the Society of American Florists (SAF) reports. In order to avoid serious problems later in the season, scientists in the field and on the Ad Hoc Whitefly Task Force advise growers to watch their spray programs carefully to be sure they are working. Resistant whiteflies, and/or increased numbers of whiteflies, have been reported by growers in several parts of the United States. It is extremely important that growers who notice apparent resistance in whitefly populations send whitefly samples for biotype identification. The Q-biotype, first discovered in the United States in 2004, is resistant to many, but not all, of commonly used chemicals. Is the B-biotype developing stronger resistance as well? Only grower-scientist cooperation can provide that answer. Samples can be sent to any of several labs with guarantees of anonymity, and no regulatory action will follow. But knowing which biotype a grower […]

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Hiding money offshore isn't easy and is usually illegal
Twice in the last week I've heard radio reports on financial issues dealing with offshore accounts and "hiding" money from the tax man.
As usual with financial matters on the radio, the summary was quite misleading, reminding me it's good to periodically review the rules to keep everyone on track.
So, today we will talk about Canadian rules on tax residency, what may really be going on with foreign bank and investment accounts, and the steps you need to take to legally pay no more Canadian tax.
First, let's review who has to pay taxes in Canada. Anyone who is a resident of Canada for tax purposes must pay tax on his or her worldwide income.
So, citizenship does not matter, and location of the income does not matter. Canadian residents pay tax in Canada, whether they are Canadian or U.S. citizens, or citizens of another country.
Further, all Canadian residents must pay taxes on all of their investment income earned, whether it is paid to them by the corner bank branch, earned through dividends on U.S. stocks, rent from foreign real estate properties, or on investment income earned on their secret bank account in the Cayman Islands. (Don't be paranoid here; I'm not singling anyone out.)
There are lots of reasons to have offshore accounts, but legally avoiding tax is not one of them.
Those rules are straightforward and black and white. People who do not disclose all of their interest, dividends, capital gains, rental or business income earned offshore are illegally avoiding Canadian taxes.
So why are there foreign bank and investment accounts? Sometimes it's as simple as a person wanting to have money where they spend their winter vacation, or they may have sold a business or a property in that location and decided to leave the money there.
Some people want to hide their money from creditors, ex-spouses or business partners. (Even that is getting harder. In the last four months, banks in Luxembourg, Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man have all agreed to share information with governments in some manner.)
Other people have legitimately established businesses in so-called tax havens -- countries with little or no tax on business income -- so that they can report the profit on their businesses in that jurisdiction. There are complex rules for reporting and compliance but which, if followed, can result in significant tax savings.
However, just to show you that I'm not as naïve as I sound, I also realize that some people have placed large amounts of capital into investment accounts in countries with bank secrecy laws in the hopes of avoiding tax on investment income earned. However, by doing so, they break the law.
Canada's voluntary self-disclosure system requires every taxpayer to fess up about any foreign "property" with an original cost in excess of $100,000, and to provide details. This is a separate (and fairly recent) disclosure requirement from the one we mentioned earlier, which is the requirement to disclose all investment income earned on these accounts or properties, no matter what the value.
So how do you legally stop paying Canadian taxes?
Any Canadian taxpayer can do this, simply by permanently leaving Canada and becoming a "non-resident" of Canada for tax purposes. This requires severing residential ties. This does not mean becoming a Snowbird or traveling the world and returning to your house in Canada.
If there is a future dispute, which can often happen on a person's return to Canada in the future, CRA will look at a list of things as evidence of the original intent. These would include cancelling driver's licences, club memberships, selling properties and personal goods, closing bank and investment accounts, and all of the things that would prove that your intent was to leave permanently.
This is obviously not a step to take lightly. However, it's one more advantage we have over Americans. A U.S. citizen can never stop filing U.S. tax returns or avoid paying any taxes owing, no matter where they move in the world.

Every weekend we will be raffling off tons of great apps and accessories for FREE. Here's how it works:
Siri is great and for me, it was worth upgrading from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 4S to get it. But don't be fooled by imposters.
For example, there's an app named "SIRI" that has NOTHING TO DO WITH VOICE CONTROL. Somehow, the app was approved, on October 13th, and is doing very well in the U.S. app store, despite the fact that the description and app aren't even in English! Indeed maybe that's the trick. People can't tell what the app does, so they get it and end up disappointed. I won't link to the app, because it doesn't need the extra accidental sales, but here are some screenshots that give you an idea of what the app does and how customers have duped themselves.
iAudition is an application designed for recording using the iphone, ipod, or ipad.
Battle games have always been a favorite for many. So, it only made sense for Aeronauts: Quake In The Sky to become a contender. This is due to the extreme movement involved along with the difficult goal of defeating the enemy in the sky. That's right; you are a weightless firefighting war plane that is attacking the sky with raging bullets and a quick reflex dodging oncoming fire from many enemy planes. In fact, it's all up to your plane since you are the only one fighting the enemy. Luckily; there are some tricks that can be used to finally win!
The iPhone 4S juggernaut continues. Not only did Apple sell a record 4 million iPHones the first weekend, but also AT&T announced today that they've had over 1 million iPhone 4S activations since last Friday — their most successful launch ever.
Many years ago, when I was a wedding photographer, I used a Hasselblad. I loved the 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 square format. Although many iPhone apps allow you to create a square image, I finally found one that does exactly what I want it to do. As the developer puts it, "If you find other camera apps over-fussy (and their photographs annoyingly oblong) then 6x6 is the app for you." It allows you to create color or black & white pictures. You shoot like you were using the old Hasselblads. It's like going home again. Gotta go...I'm taking pictures with the 6x6 app.
If you're one of the lucky ones getting a new iPhone 4S, AppleInsider has posted a setup guide. The article walks you through the setup process, including screen shots. The process is different from how it worked in the past because with iOS 5 you no longer need to connect to your desktop computer and have the iTunes software installed. The article begins with an unboxing, then shows the steps of setup, and then walks you through the iCloud options.
Apple released the latest addition to its stellar iPhone lineup, the iPhone 4S, on October 14, and it has proved an instant hit. Despite a few misgivings regarding the phone's lack of improvements over its predecessor, the iPhone 4, sales have been anything but lethargic. The 4S set a new record when 4 million units were purchased in the first three days the device was available to the public.
Last Temple is one of those matching games where you must drag your finger across three or more adjacent tiles of the same type to clear them. It's actually a pretty solid implementation of such game play, and the challenges are certainly quite a challenge. However, Last Temple doesn't really bring anything new to the genre. I remember having lots of fun playing a similar game called Azkend, and I just don't get the same sense of addiction from Last Temple as I did from that game. If you love this type of game play (or are new to it) then Last Temple is a decent choice, but if this sub-genre of matching games has kind of warn on you, it might be better if you waited for Azkend 2.
The iPhone has become a benchmark for all other smartphones to compete with. Reviews on the cases, accessories, apps, wallpapers and more are located below. Here are a couple of Articles that showcase what we have to offer. For eaxample, iPhone 4S by Alex Cequea (iPhone Life Magazine Editor in Chief).
In that article, Alex says that the iPhone 4S has the exact same physical form factor as the iPhone 4. However, the insides are a whole different story, and Apple tried to make that very clear. The most notable improvements are the 8MP camera with 1080p video recording, the A5 dual-core processor (same as the iPad 2), and an improved battery life (8 hours of 3G talk time, 200 hours of standby). As far as the capabilities, the new Siri Assistant feature was the highlight of the show. The Siri Assistant recognizes natural language and can answer questions such as, "What's the temperature out today?" Combined with the phone's GPS, you can say something like, "Remind me to call my wife when I get to work." The Assistant will not only know who your "wife" is, it'll also know where "work" is and pop up a reminder to "call Marcy" when you get there."
Here's another great article, The Best iPhone 4 Cases. This article goes on to explain that like its iPhone predecessors, cases have become one of the most popular ways to accessorize your cell phone. Most cell phone consumers buy a case bundled with their new phone to protect it from day one. And who can blame them? Mobile devices have become hugely valuable and expensive items; you want to protect them the best way you can. There are literally hundreds of cases on the market. Let's examine the different options available on the market to help you choose the one that's right for you.
What to know how to create your own app? "The first step in creating an app is to understand what you want to create and how you will measure its success. Make sure the idea is well vetted and there is a solid business case behind it. There are roughly 600 new apps submitted to Apple each day—what is going to differentiate your app from the thousands that are already available and being launched each week? Here are some questions you'll want to ask when getting your app idea..."
