Apple has a wonderful cafeteria and a seriously epic variety of food, they are just out of space (food stations are being set up outside etc...). Makes perfect sense for them to house a larger "restaurant" (aka cafeteria) so employees don't have to head out to the local BJ's. Why is this being spun as an OMG Apple is too wealthy and splurging. Yahoo and others have freaking DMV and hairstyling services for employees (okay maybe Yahoo is not the best example here....)
Agreed. The only reason I'm on Firefox still is the extensions (it used it be the features like tabbed and crash recovery but most others have that now). To be brutally honest it's only StumbleUpon that is keeping me on Firefox.
Blizzard is more than the WoW MMOG crack market that is their most recent creation... Starcraft, Diablo, Warcraft etc...
No company ever thinks to improve their bottom line by steadily generating quality product anymore. The money that goes into solid development is always the dregs of money first given to analysts and marketers.
I'm normally not a foaming-at-the-mouth anti-establishment labor-theory humanist, but things like this (especially with the oft-cited 'global economy') really and truly make me sick.
Blizzard... but they are the major exception to the rule (the Pixar of games?)
Other than that I agree completely about the 'global economy' bs. Not every job is 'cog' job despite management's wet dream fantasies to make it so....
I play video games to be entertained.
Short little video clips as a reward for finishing levels fall into that category. Have games from other companies abused it in the past, yes.
Does Blizzard get the play/watch ratio right? Hell yes.
I'm just the opposite. Cutscenes rendered in the game engine always look like crap to me (Dawn of War comes to mind). Here they had a great intro scene but all the storytelling is done in low poly blocks staring at each other like bad 80's cartoons.
Glad to see there are other people who realize that simply taking content is ultimately defeating and are willing to pay for it.

If you pause in darkness what does your body have to tell you? What do your dreams have to tell you? What does the frozen ground have to tell you? What do the spirits of place have to tell you?
What song can only be sung by you?
What emberheart can only be ignited by your breath?
What path have your feet found?
What messages are carved in stone and etched on leaf for your eyes and in your name?
What promise are you keeping?
Time for your light to shine

The moments that really matter, are the ones where our hearts change. I recently heard a former lawyer involved in fighting racism saying that she had been trained to think you can't change people's hearts, so you'd better focus on changing the laws. Then she discovered Theory U, a new business framework that acually fits like a glove to the sacred feminine- yes, a new tide is here! She discovered that in fact you can change people's hearts, and those are the moments that really matter. Changing hearts is even more important than changing laws. Every time our heart changes, that will have a lasting imprint on our lives- and on the lives of those around us.
For me this gave words to something that has been happening in my trainings but that i never quite could pin down. Now I see: moments that hearts have changed! There have been so many of those! I challenged myself to remember them, and to start writing about them. So here is the first... the most powerful of all... and it was with... my dog!
"There are things," my Grandma Winnie would say, "better left forgotten." That was always her response to questions about her life. So, for many years all I really knew about her was what we lived together in the tiny mountain community of French Gulch. When she died in the early 1990's in her early 90s, my father and I cleaned out the shack where she had lived with my Grandpa Russell. I came away with a bit more information about who she was from my father's stories of her. We sorted through a box of photos, and my dad did his best to identify the images as I wrote on the backs. Then he showed me a letter, typed in 1911 in San Francisco. The letterhead was from The California Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. "There are things," I heard my Grandma Winnie say in my head, "better left forgotten."

The New Moon this month occurs in the sign of Aquarius (0 degrees) on Tuesday, January 20th, at 5:14 am (PST). Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign, meaning that it is a sign that embodies the heart of the season, in this case winter, in the Northern hemisphere. It also resonates with the objective and intellectual element of Air. Aquarius is the Visionary, The Wild Card, the Genius, the Rebel and the Revolutionary. Uranus rules this Air sign, and is known as the Great Awakener. Uranus also rules electricity, and lightening flashes of intuition and moments of revelation characterize the often times brilliant Aquarian psyche.
Recently, my friend SnowStar bestowed a major blessing on me, gifting me 67 divination decks from her personal collection.
Her amazing generosity was only matched by the gift's synchronicity: I've collected decks over my 30 years as a professional card reader, then lost a substantial portion of my collection due to a bug infestation two years ago.
SnowStar asked me which decks she sent particularly struck me, so I pulled together some personal notes I'd made, and thought I'd share them here with you, too. And please tell me about a deck or decks you particularly love. I love to hear about experiences with tarot or Lenormand decks.

Great Maine Getaway
This charming Maine cottage was the perfect respite! We wanted peace, quiet, and tranquility and that is exactly what we enjoyed. The photos did not do justice for the cottage, it was everything I'd imagined and more. We absolutely loved the rustic charm and were in awe when we walked out on to the dock and witnessed a bald eagle in the tall pine right outside the door. We spent warm afternoons on the beach, which is literally steps away and then cool evenings in front of fire. We were serenaded each day by the Loons. The weather was very nice with a couple of thunder storms quickly blowing through in the late afternoon. The excitement and anticipation of this vacation had been building since January and did not disappoint. We look forward to coming back

Another game drops Games for Windows Live.
I don't know about you, but I'm at the point now that when I hear about games transitioning away from Games for Windows Live, my immediate reaction is surprise that there are still games out there using Games for Windows Live. But there are, among them the popular Capcom titles Resident Evil 5 and Dead Rising 2—but not for much longer.
I've played through Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube at least three times. Today, Capcom announced that it's bringing the ultimate, high definition version the game to Steam on February 27 for $20, meaning I'll definitely play through it again. It's really that good.
With BioShock 2 and the Arkham games abandoning the quickly sinking Games for Windows Live ship for the SS Steamworks, players are asking publishers a common question: "Will I be able to play my games after Games for Windows Live is gone?" Capcom started getting the brunt of the attention last week, though it appears the company's still mapping its escape route.
It's hard not to judge a book by its cover when that cover looks like... this.
Publisher birthday parties are the best. Rather than forcing you to debate whether a $25 gift card is a crappy gift, publishers simply discount a bunch of games and tell players to have at it. It's like buying discounted party favors, but with fewer tote bags. Capcom just hit the big 3-0, and has shaved the price off many of its larger Steam titles in celebration.
It isn't often we see the words "Origin" and "sale" next to each other, but this week is the exception: EA is running a week-long Player Appreciation Sale which discounts some pretty hefty games in the publisher's lineup—titans such as Mass Effect 3, Crysis 3, and Battlefield 3.
Last week, Capcom Senior VP Christian Svensson responded to questions about Resident Evil 6's PC port in the Ask Capcom forum on Capcom Unity. According to Svensson, the PC version did not enter development until after the console versions were "complete, submitted, approved by console 1st parties." With the final console code as the foundation, a team is now building the PC version.
Capcom have sent over the first set of Resident Evil 6 screenshots. They look to be high res renders taken from the debut trailer which means we get a closer look at the zombie president, and other 'orrible creatures afflicted by the latest escaped virus. If it's in keeping with previous Resident Evils, the bioweapon was no doubt created by the least secretive, most evil secret evil organisation

Abuelito's Super-Special Punch
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: My grandfather was a healthy man--an eater of "mostly plants" way before it was de moda to do so. Still, my cousins and I could count on one thing every Christmas that broke this rule: a punch made specially for us. Out came my Abuelita's 1970's-style punch bowl, replete with ladle and frosted red cups, which only added to the festivity of the occasion. His punch is fruity and bright, and gets an extra splash of color from a winning ingredient--rainbow sherbet. I promise, this punch will make you very popular with kids of all ages. For an adult version, try adding a hint of rum. - Cristina Sciarra
Makes one punch bowl
- 1 can frozen orange juice, from concentrate
- 6 cups pineapple juice
- 2 liters ginger ale
- several scoops rainbow sherbet
- In a punch bowl, mix orange juice concentrate with pineapple juice. You a looking for the flavors to balance equally.
- Right before serving, stir in ginger ale. Top with rainbow sherbet and serve immediately.

Zeenews Bureau
New Delhi: US-based Internet firm Yahoo has become the latest target for hackers as passwords of more than 453,000 site users have been compromised and posted online, reports claimed on Thursday.
The compromised server was part of "Yahoo!! Voice", which was earlier known as Associated Content, a security firm has claimed.
The security firm also says that the passwords appear to have been obtained using a SQL injection attack to extract the information from Yahoo's database servers.
Yahoo's security blunder appears just over a month after passwords of another social networking site LinkedIn were compromised, while more than 6.4 million accounts were breached. At that time, LinkedIn director Vicente Silveira stated in a blog post, "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused to our members. We take the security of our members very seriously."
The Yahoo Voice hack has been claimed by a group calling themselves "the D33Ds Company".

UW women's hockey team pegged for second in WCHA preseason poll
MADISON - The Wisconsin women's hockey team is picked to finish second in the WCHA.
A pre-season coaches' poll has Minnesota-Duluth as the favorite to repeat. The Bulldogs won the national title last spring.
Wisconsin junior forward Hilary Knight was named the league's pre-season player-of-the-year. She was the WCHA's player-of-the-year as a freshman - and she spent last season on the U.S. Olympic team that won a silver medal.

Archived Story
The chaos is always only one Saturday awayPublished 9:18am Wednesday, November 21, 2012
If you thought you had this BCS thing figured out, just remember that for every Saturday they play college football, there is a follow-up Sunday, where you can sit in a corner and talk to yourself.
Just when you think you know everything, you find out you know nothing.
Saturday morning, Kansas State was No. 1 and Oregon was No. 2, now they are neither.
Notre Dame, who everyone loves to hate in the SEC, is now No. 1.
The SEC and particularly Alabama pleaded for assistance again from the outside and got their midnight reprieve from the executioner. Now the Crimson Tide is back in BCS business.
While Oregon and Kansas State were losing, the SEC and seven of its teams completed what amounted to an exhibition day against lower-division FCS schools.
The SEC took some huge credibility hits this week.
"That was an embarrassing slate today," ABC announcer Brent Musburger said of the SEC's Saturday schedule.
"Come on SEC, schedule a ninth-conference game like everyone else," bellowed Kirk Herbstreit the other ABC announcer and ESPN College Game Day host.
What if Notre Dame loses to USC?
Remember, Alabama's last game was a loss to a ranked team, a two-loss team, just like Oregon.
Alabama jumped from No. 5 to No. 3 in the BCS computers with a win over Western Carolina, who is 1-10, with its lone win against Division II Mars Hill.
Florida State, with as many losses as Alabama, defeated Maryland, but still sits at No. 10 because of one computer. Massey's BCS Index which places them 17th in the computers.
If Notre Dame loses, the BCS would be left with a scenario that even the upcoming playoff system couldn't resolve.
Oregon still plays No. 15 Oregon State and No. 17 UCLA in the Pac-12 championship.
Alabama plays Auburn, who is just ahead of Little Sisters U and No. 3 Georgia in the SEC championship.
If Georgia defeats Alabama and Oregon wins out, Oregon will jump Georgia for the second spot because the computers do not like Georgia.
Then there is No. 4 Florida, who needed a blocked punt to defeat La-somebody in Gainesville. Next up is No. 10 Florida State.
Are we headed for an all-SEC championship?
Don't try to make any sense of this-just drink it all in and then do a spit take.
Notes on a scorecard:
I would bet, that the same "fair weather" fans, who made it clear after the Bama loss to Texas A&M, that they were "tired of college football" or that" they really did not want to travel to Miami anyway", sang an entirely different tune late Saturday night after Stanford upset Oregon 17-14.
Not sure if there is something in the water in Alabama, but I heard the same tune from some Auburn fans, but it was after the third game of the season. I heard that they had people disguised as seats at Jordan-Hare Stadium last Saturday.
Yes, for all the hoopla surrounding the two major teams in this state, when your team gets beat, your mask comes off and you become exposed.
If you base your entire attitude and emotions towards a university, on the performance of the football team, then you need to examine your priorities and my suggestion to you is this-change your agenda.
The one group of individuals who I did not hear crying after the loss to Texas A&M, were the Alabama players and the coaching staff.
Did you hear any player or coach saying that they were tired of football or they really didn't want to go to Miami?
There is nothing "fair-weather" about the kids who perform for you every Saturday.
Give thanks.
Until next time.
Meyers is a college football columnist.

How economies work – and don't
a scientific look at how we divvy up the work and the wealth, how some of us end up with too much or too little effort or reward. That's partly due to Ricardo's Law of Rent, showing how wasteful use of Earth cuts wages. And it's partly due to how a society's elite runs government around like water boys, dishing out subsidies and tax breaks. While geonomists look political reality right in the eye, without blinking, conventional economists flinch. When Paul Volcker, ex-chief of the Federal Reserve, moved on to a cushy professorship at Princeton cum book contract, the crush of deadlines bore down. So Volcker asked a junior associate to help with the book. The guy refused, explaining that giving serious consideration to policy would ruin his academic career. The ex-Fed chief couldn't believe it and asked the department chair if truly that were the case. That head honcho pondered the question then replied no, not if he only does it once. And economics was AKA political economy!
of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.
what you do when you see economies as part of the ecosystem, following feedback loops and storing up energy. Surplus energy – fat or profit – enables us to produce and reproduce. To recycle society's surplus, the commonwealth, geonomics would replace taxes with land dues (charged to users of sites and resources, in-cluding the EM spectrum, and extra to polluters), and replace subsidies with rent dividends to citizens (a la Alaska's oil dividend). Without taxes and subsidies to distort them, prices become precise, reflect accurately our costs and values; then, motivated by no more than the bottom line, both producers and consumers make sustainable choices. While no place uses geonomics in its entirety, some places use parts of it, most notably a shift of the property tax off buildings, onto locations. Shifting the property tax drives efficient use of land, in-fills cities, improves the housing stock, makes homes affordable, engenders jobs and investment opportunities, lowers crime, raises civic participation, etc – overall it makes cities more livable. Geonomics – a way to share the bounty of nature and society – is something we can work for locally, globally, and in between.
shaped by reality. In the 1980′s, the Swedish government doubled its stock transfer tax. Tax receipts, however, rose only 15%, since traders simply fled to London exchanges. Fearing a further exodus, the Swedish government quickly rescinded the tax altogether. (The New York Times, April 20) That willingness to tax anything leads us astray. Pushing us astray is that unwillingness to pay what we owe: rent for land, our common heritage. Assuming land value is up for grabs, we speculate. We cap the property tax on both land and buildings and the rate at which assessments can go up; while real market values rise quicker, assessments can never catch up. Our stewards, the Bureau of Land Management, routinely sell and lease sites below market value, often to insiders, says the Government Accounting Office. Once we grasp that rent is ours to share, we'll collect it all, rather than let it enrich a few, and quit taxing earnings, which do belong to the individual earner. That shift is geonomic policy.
a POV that Spain's president might try. A few blocks from my room in Madrid at a book fair to promote literacy, Sr Zapatero, while giving autographs and high fives to kids, said books are very expensive and he'd see about getting the value added tax on them cut down to zero. (El Pais, June 4; see, politicians can grasp geo-logic.) But why do we raise the cost of any useful product? Why not tax useless products? Even more basic: is being better than a costly tax good enough? Our favorite replacement for any tax is no tax: instead, run government like a business and charge full market value for the permits it issues, such as everything from corporate charters to emission allowances to resource leases. These pieces of paper are immensely valuable, yet now our steward, the state, gives them away for nearly free, absolutely free in some cases. Government is sitting on its own assets and needs merely to cash in by doing what any rational entity in the economy does – negotiate the best deal. Then with this profit, rather than fund more waste, pay the stakeholders, we citizenry, a dividend. Thereby geonomics gets rid of two huge problems. It replaces taxes with full-value fees and replaces subsidies for special interests with a Citizens Dividend for people in general. Neither left nor right, this reform is what both nature lovers and liberty lovers need to promote, right now.
a manual. The world did not come without a way for people to prosper, and the planet to heal and stay well; that way is geonomics. Economies are part of the ecosystem. Both generate surpluses and follow self-regulating feedback loops. A cycle like the Law of Supply and Demand is one of the economy's on/off loops. Our spending for land and resources – things that nobody made and everybody needs – constitutes our society's surplus. Those profits without production (remember, nobody produced Earth) can become our commonwealth. To share it, we could pay land dues in to the public treasury (wouldn't oil companies love that?) and get rent dividends back, a la Alaska's oil dividend. Doing so let's us axe taxes and jettison subsidies. Taxes and subsidies distort price (the DNA of exchange), violate quid pro quo by benefiting the well-connected more than anyone else, reinforce hierarchy of state over citizen, and are costly to administer (you don't really need so much bureaucracy, do you?). Conversely, land dues motivate people to not waste sites, resources, and the ecosystem while rent dividends motivate people to not waste themselves. Receiving this income supplement – a Citizens Dividend – people can invest in their favorite technology or outgrow being "economan" and shrink their overbearing workweek in order to enjoy more time with family, friends, community, and nature. Then in all that free time, maybe we could figure out just what we are here for.
an answer for Jonathan of the Green Party (Nov 7): "What does 'share our surplus' mean?" Our surplus is the values that society generates synergistically. It's the money we spend on the nature we use: on land sites, natural resources, EM spectrum, ecosystem services (assimilating pollutants). It's also the money we pay to holders of government-granted privileges like corporate charters. We could share it by paying for the nature we use and privileges we hold to the public treasury then getting back a fair share of the recovered revenue. Used to be, owners did owe rent ("own" and "owe" used to be one word). And presently, some lucky residents do get back periodic dividends: Alaska's oil dividend and Aspen Colorado's housing assistance. Doing that, instead of subsidizing bads while taxing goods, is the essence of geonomics. Jonathan: "Is local currency what you mean?" Editor: It's not. Community currency is a good reform, but every good reform pushes up site values. That makes land an even more tempting object of speculation. Now, any good will eventually do bad by widening the income gap – until you share land values.
more transformation than reform; it's a step ahead. Harvard economics students this year did petition to change the curriculum, in the wake of the English who caught the dissension from across The Channel. French reformers, who fault conventional economics for conjuring mathematical models of little empirical relevance and being closed to critical and reflective thought, reject this "autism" – or detachment from reality – and dub their offering "post-autistic economics". Not a bad name, but again, academics define themselves by what they're not, not by what they are, unlike geonomists. We track rent – the money we spend on the nature we use – and watch it pull all the other economic indicators in its wake. We see economies as part and parcel of the ecosystem, similarly following natural patterns and able to self-regulate more so than allowed, once we quit distorting prices. To align people and planet, we'd replace taxes and subsidies with recovering and sharing rents.
a discipline that, compared to economics, is as obscure as Warren Buffett's investment strategy, compared to conventional investment theory, about which Buffett said, "You couldn't advance in a finance department in this country unless you taught that the world was flat." (The New York Times, Oct 29). The writer wondered, "But why? If it works, why don't more investors use it?" Good question. Geonomics works, too. Every place that has used it has prospered while conserving resources. Yet it remains off the radar of many wanna-be reformers. Gradually, tho', that's changing. More are becoming aware of what geonomics studies – all the money we spend on the nature we use. Geonomics (1) as an alternative worldview to the anthropocentric, sees human economies as part of the embracing ecosystem with natural feedback loops seeking balance in both systems. (2) As an alternative to worker vs. investor, it sees our need for sites and resources making those who own land into landlords. (3)As an alternative to economics, it tracks the trillions of "rent" as it drives the "housing" bubble and all other indicators. And (4) as an alternative to left or right, it suggests we not tax ourselves then subsidize our favorites but recover and share society's surplus, paying in land dues and getting back "rent" dividends, a la Alaska's oil dividend. Letting rent go to the wrong pockets wreaks havoc, while redirecting it to everyone would solve our economic ills and the ills downstream from them. People must learn to stop whining so much and feel enough self-esteem to demand a fair share of rent, society's surplus, the commonwealth.
a study of a phenomenon David Ricardo noted going on two centuries ago. When wine grapes rise to $10,000 a ton from the very best land (last year, cabernet sauvignon commanded an average of $4,021 a ton in the Napa Valley), then vineyard prices soar from $18,000 an acre in the 1980′s to $100,000 an acre five years ago and now for a top pedigree up to $300,000 an acre (The New York Times, April 9, via Wyn Achenbaum). Pricey land does not make wine pricey; spendy wine makes land spendy. While vintners make their wine tasty, nature and society in general – not any lone owner – make land desireable. Steve Kerch of CBS's MarketWatch (April 5) notes that much of what a home sells for on the open market is a reflection of intangible factors such as what school district the house sits in. The price the builder has to pay for the land also tends to be driven by the same intangibles. Because the value of land comes from society, and because one's use excludes the rest of society, each user owes all others compensation, and is owed compensation by everyone else. Sharing land's value, instead of taxing one's efforts, is the policy of geonomics.

Formulating functional fitness for everyday people
NEW YORK (Reuters) -A mother-to-be hoists a rubber cylinder overhead. A 70-year-old balances on a wobble board and a firefighter grips a medicine ball while lunging across the gym floor. Called functional training, workouts mirroring the activities of daily life have become a cornerstone of personal training sessions and group fitness classes, even if daily life can encompass anything from lifting a baby to scaling a burning building.
HK's schooling woes dim city's role as financial hub
HONG KONG (Reuters) - As global companies expand in Asia, financial hubs such as Hong Kong are suffering a shortage of international school places that may blunt the city's competitive edge against regional rivals including Singapore. International schools across Hong Kong are reporting record applications and lengthy waiting lists, prices of school debentures to guarantee places have soared and foreign business chambers are warning the situation is becoming critical.
Burning Man anti-consumerism celebration goes non-profit
BLACK ROCK CITY, Nev (Reuters) - When the 50-foot tall effigy known as "The Man" burned to the ground on Saturday night before tens of thousands of screaming people, it marked a new age for the iconic celebration known as Burning Man. This year's event, appropriately themed Rites of Passage, begins a shift from a for-profit moneymaker into a not-for-profit with a reach that extends well beyond the strip of desert known as "the playa," Spanish for "beach."
Carla Bruni says will keep baby out of view
PARIS (Reuters) - French first lady Carla Bruni said on Sunday she will keep the baby she is expecting with President Nicolas Sarkozy strictly out of view and not allow any photographs to be shown publicly. Bruni, who is due to give birth in the autumn, said she did not know whether she was expecting a boy or a girl, but her main aim was to protect the infant from the glare of publicity.
Flood victims still in the dark, stuck in mud
LUDLOW, Vermont (Reuters) - Residents of several Northeast states approached the Labor Day holiday weekend mired in mud and stuck in the dark on Thursday nearly a week after Hurricane Irene swallowed parts of the region with flooding. About 1.1 million homes and businesses on the East Coast were still without electricity after Irene knocked out power to more than 6.7 million customers on its rampage last Saturday and Sunday.
"Flash and Bones" jumps to top of best-sellers list

I would like to know if there is a way to see Assembly Version number of the last completed build within the Visual Studio 2008 IDE. I don't want to see the 1.0.* that is in the Assembly Information dialog box or AssemblyInfo file, but rather the full version (with the *'s replaced by real numbers). I also don't want to have to bring up the Properties of the project's executable or assembly.
OK, I think I get your question better now, you want to see what the build number is, without actually building... as in, how does Visual Studio know what the next number will be when its setting is at * ?
If you use automated build numbers, Lets say you have 1.0.* and VS builds a value such as 1.0.3245.1234
The 3245 is days since Jan 1st, 2000
the 1234 is seconds since midnight, divided by two.
The only thing I can think of to get the build number without executing some code within the assembly, or checking the file properties, is to make some sort of post build event, that checks the properties of the assembly and pops up a message box displaying it, or better yet, write a comment to the top of the AssemblyInfo.cs file with the build number
From MSDN:
a simplified approach,
That Assembly Info box in properties is pointing to a file in your project, usually called AssemblyInfo.cs (in the Properties folder). That's where the actual code to set the version lives, and it's probably easier to glance at that file than to go through settings.
I would suggest making a small change to your build process, so the version number is displayed in the Output area every time you compile. It's actually really simple:
Right-click your project and select "Unload project". All your code "disappears", but there's no need to panic.
Right-click it again, and select "Edit...".
This opens the proj-file as xml, and you now add this snippet of code inside the
Save and close the file. Right-click and select "Reload Project". This will bring back the project as before.
Compile and you'll notice a new line of text in the Output window:
AssemblyVersion = 1.0.3518.36887
That's it.
It was this episode of DnrTV, Sayed Hashimi on MS Build, which opened my eyes for MSBuild and all the cool stuff you can do. Highly recommended. :)

Doctors have recently found that people who live in cool climates -whether omnivore, vegetarian or vegan- are more prone to vitamin D deficiency due to insufficient sun exposure. All this is in spite of the fact that some fish contain vitamin D and milk, cheese and ice cream are fortified with Vitamin D for those who follow an omnivore or vegetarian diet. For vegans rules are the same. People who do not get adequate sun exposure or Vitamin D fortified/rich foods are at the risk of developing Vitamin D deficiency unless they supplement.

great product for a great price but remember that d3 has a halflife in your body of 3 weeks so taking 2000iu a day is a lot since it builds up for those 3 weeks, 2000iu every 5 days to a week is much more beneficial.

Educational Grid Tie System
we have a solar and wind grid tie system set up at a summer camp and are trying to figure out how to visually see what the output of this system is, so we can show the kids what kind of power they're really producing.
We have a skystream 3.7 wind turbine and 8 Kyocera 130 panels attached to a sunnyboy 3000 inverter and then tied in to the grid with net metering.
Or are there some other suggestion on how to tie in the educational component so kids could visually see what these renewable energy systems produce?
Is there some sort of meter or output display that we can insert before it ties into the meter so that we can see what the wind and panels are producing? something that would make sense to the average onlooker.
Or are there some other suggestions on how to tie in the educational component and show kids what these renewable energy systems can really do?
A couple fairly inexpensive solutions:
- Get a retired electric utility meter. These are meters from homes where the meters have been replaced with newer digital meters. They are quite cheap -- check ebay or google.
You would need to get a meter base and do a little wiring to set it up.
- The TED "Energy Detective" will measure the output for any circuit you hook it up to. I have mine hooked up to my PV system now to monitor it -- currently reading all of 60 watts in the middle of a snowstorm :)
You just snap the TED current transformer sensors over the wires inverter output wires -- pretty simple installation.
They cost about $250
They have a software package that can be used for realtime viewing and to keep records over time.
TED or a similar device will be able to look at the AC side of the invertor. Check to make sure it can display negative numbers (I think it does). That way, you know which direction the current is flowing (in to or out of the grid).
TED won't show you which of the two DC devices (wind/solar) is contributing what, so you might want to look for some cheap DC ammeters of sufficient size that you can put in line and see which is doing what.
The TED actually does not tell you which way the power is going.
On my system, during the sunny part of the day it will show the net AC flowing out of the inverter to the grid -- this is usually somewhere north of 1500 watts.
At night it shows 20 watts, and I believe that this is the power going out to the inverter from the grid. It does not show this with a negative sign, so I assume that it can't tell the difference on which way the power is going. But, this is really not much of a problem since the inverters uses very little power in "sleep" mode at night.
I had a look at the TED site yesterday, and they now appear to sell fancier systems that are actually intended for monitoring PV/Wind systems, so you might want to look at these as well -- they were more expensive, but I guess they figure these renewable energy people have big budgets :)

Evans set to put family over pay cheque
ESPN Staff
October 10, 2012
Nick Evans' current contract with Harlequins expires at the end of this season © Getty Images
Harlequins boss Conor O'Shea insists fly-half Nick Evans' decision regarding his playing future will be based on what is best for his family and not on the money.
Evans' current contract with the Premiership champions expires at the end of this season with negotiations regarding a contract extension on-going. The 32-year-old former All Blacks international is also thought to be considering offers from France and Japan but O'Shea is confident his first-choice playmaker is not financially motivated.
"He would have left here two years ago if it was about money," O'Shea told the Daily Telegraph ahead of his side's Heineken Cup opener against Biarritz at The Stoop on Saturday.
"We know that the money is bigger elsewhere that is the nature of it. This might sound a very odd thing to say about a professional sports person, but it is not money that is going to drive this decision for him. It is his family.
"Nick is well looked after by the club but I totally and utterly believe the decision will be driven by what is best for him and his family and where they will be in the next few years.
"The playing group both on and off the field hope to have him here and the supporters want him here. If he stays, we will be over the moon. If he doesn't this will be a year that he will want to sign off doing something special."
Evans, who joined Quins from the Auckland-based Blues in 2008, has expressed his gratitude to the club for not making him rush his decision. "Conor has been fantastic" said Evans. "There is no pressure either way. For me it is about gathering as much information as I can for post-rugby as well as where my family are going to be best suited over the next three years. It is great that I am not being forced into making a decision and I really applaud the club for that. It would be easy for them to put the pressure on for me to make a decision."

He was Ok,glad to have him
Murdoch was a great guest. First he accepted a change of apartment because of serious problems that I had with the original place, and he was very comprehensive with this. We met a couple of hours after his arrival to set up TV and talk about other things he could need. Everything was perfect and the apartment was clean and ordered after he left it. He is also very kind, funny and polite. I definetely recommend him as a guest.

People are always using their smartphones and that makes charging them quite the inconvenience. Many people connect their smartphones (and other mobile devices) to chargers overnight because of the idling. Wake-up and you are at 100% to start the day. Some, though, are curious as to whether or not overnight charging has an effect on the electricity bill.
Pictures of wireless charging dock for Moto 360 appear online
We haven't really been sure how Motorola planned on charging up the Moto 360, but now it's pretty obvious.
As seen in the photo above, the next big smartwatch to come to market will have a wireless charging dock, which displays the watch face while charging. This makes it a serviceable bedside clock.
According to a recent FCC filing for the device, the Moto 360 takes advantage of Qi wireless charging capabilities, which means there are no connectors on the back, as found in LG's G Watch. (That means no corroding pins!)
This is all good news leading up to the launch of Motorola's new watch, which should come relatively soon.

New "power felt" fabric could power your phone and more
Anytime I read a story that talks of nanotechnology I get all warm and fuzzy inside, and my inner geek jumps out and screams. Business Insider is reporting on work being done by nanotechnology researcher, David Carroll of Wake Forest University. Carroll is working on something he calls "power felt", this thin piece of material can convert heat and movement into electricity. I know everyone reading this is thinking they can now charge their phones on the go. However there is more to this wonderful material that could change everything as we know it.
It can be sewn into clothing or wrapped around an object. It is light weight which gives it an advantage over other thermoelectric materials currently available, and it feel like wool felt. His felt also has a medical application to it too. Wearing the fabric could help determine a lot of information about the wearer based on heat readings.
Nexus 10 Pogo Charger Might Have Maybe Been Spotted In The Wild
A user over at Android Central posted a picture he is alleging is the magnetic pogo charger for the Nexus 10. The user, known as jstevenkim, went on to say the charger will be available on Amazon and eBay within the next 10 days for around $19.95 to $24.99 USD. There's no way of telling if this is legit (other than waiting 10 days to see what happens) but, like Mulder, I want to believe. I want to believe the Nexus 10 pogo-pin connector will get more use than the similar port on the Galaxy Nexus.
Sadly, this is closer than the Nexus 7 has come to getting a pogo charger. Although, we did see a dock which uses the pogo pins for charging, and possibly audio output, pop up on ASUS Japan but it's yet to be made available for sale. I'm not sure if the pogo charger will really charge a device that much faster than micro USB, but it seems cool. Why should Apple be the only one with a magnetic attachment for their (Mac) chargers anyway?

Duracell Powermat Hopes To Bring Wireless Charging To All Smartphones Via WiCC
With their new Wireless Charging Card (WiCC) technology, Duracell's Powermat division is hoping to bring wireless charging to the masses. The WiCC hopes to bring the integration of Powermat technology to all smartphones, via a connector that is built into the phone itself. This of course requires participation from the major smartphone retailers, since the technology would have to be implemented at the production level. Given that Duracell promises that this implementation will only cost pennies at most, I wouldn't be hard pressed to believe that phone manufacturers will at least give it a shot in one or two phones before considering it standard on all their future models.
Powermat currently offers wireless charging through the Powermat charging bed coupled with a proprietary case designed to communicate with the base. The new WiCC hopes to remove the mandatory use of the Powermat case and enable users to use a case of their own choosing, or none at all. The thin wafer-like charging card can be purchased at any time by the user, enabling the power of choice. Although Duracell isn't placing the WiCC as immediate priority for release and we won't see it any time this year, it's most definitely something that we hope to hear more from here at TalkAndroid. Keep tuned to TalkAndroid for more news and updates from Mobile World Conference 2012. Full press release after the break.

Samsung Already Sporting Accessories For US Galaxy S II Devices
Low and behold, what's a few new Samsung Galaxy S II devices across various carriers without some cool accessories to go with it? At tonight's Samsung GSII launch event in New York, several of the display tables showed off a modern and sleek looking multimedia charging dock perfectly complimenting the Galaxy S II. In nice shiny black, the device also doubles as a speaker (note pic below). We've seen a dock presently accompany the Galaxy S II launched overseas however, this one has been given a bit of a polished look and we've got to admit, it looks pretty sweet. Check out the pics for yourself and don't forget to let us know what you think in the comments below. If you'll also notice, there is another device to the left of the charging dock. We're not quite sure what it is just yet, but stay tuned because we'll find out. It appears to be some sort of a charging stand where a second battery can be docked under a cover on the backside of the contraption.

Delta Airlines Places Charging Stations in Airports for your Mobile Devices
If you're on the go alot, Delta may be giving you a reason to use their Airlines, or at least hang out in their sections of the airport, as they've installed "recharging stations" at 19 locations across the US. The stations will show the following;
- Two Delta re-charging stations at each passenger gate area
- Each station features six standard 110 volt outlets and two USB ports per station
- Recharging pads in all domestic Delta Sky Club locations designed for smartphones and mobile devices (many locations already have these—just check at the reception desk for your preferred adapter!)
The stations will be available in Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit, Memphis, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York-JFK and Salt Lake City as well as Boston, Columbus, OH; Hartford, CT; Indianapolis; Los Angeles; Nashville; Norfolk, VA; Omaha, NE; Pittsburgh, Portland, OR; Seattle and St. Louis very soon as Delta is including these stations as a part of their $2 Billion investment overhaul over the next couple of years.

"Qi": New power standard to bring wireless charging
You whip out your phone. You see it's battery is low. You plug it in to charge, thus tethering yourself to your bedside table, and you think… "there has GOT to be a better way!" Soon, my friend, there will be.
A universal standard for cord-free charging is well en route, thanks to the Wireless Power Consortium, which finalized the interface definition this last Friday for it's low-power specifications. According to reports, the interface should be available to the public on August 30th. The current versions max out at 5 watts of power, which should be more than adequate to charge mobile devices.
In addition, all devices meeting standards will be able to throw the "Qi" logo on their devices. According to Menno Treffers, a senior director of standardization at Philips who works with the consortium:
Our customers will see the Qi logo and know: this product works with my other Qi products. Publishing a standard is not enough. Without test documentation, certification services, and a logo license agreement, interoperability is an illusion.
With the release dates standing where they do, we may be seeing some devices in the category as early as this fall.

"I made this into a card showcasing how my little boy had grown from birth to two years. The photo layout worked particularly well and the image quality was excellent. Everyone who has seen the card has commented on how great it looks. I love the fact that Tiny Prints card formats can be adjusted to suit your needs; this is one of the reasons why I keep returning as a customer."
"I found Tiny Prints through googling "affordable graduation announcements". I was worried about how the picture would turn out on the announcement because even though it was taken on a professional camera the website still said that it was not a good enough quality. I took the chance anyway and opted for the professional review before the order was processed. The order arrived 4 days before expected and maybe even more than that I just happened to see it on my porch one morning. The order turned out wonderful! The quality of the picture was exactly what I wanted. Im glad I chose Tiny Prints to make my graduation announcements. I even recommend them to my mother for out annual christmas cards."
"First of all, I ran into a snag while ordering these announcements and the CEO himself emailed me back and was very helpful and warm. I really appreciated that. I just received my order yesterday. It arrived very quickly and my order was AWESOME! It was better than I expected it to be. The quality was amazing! It looks so good! Excellent paper, great print quality and even the envelopes that come free with this order are a wonderful quality. The entire presentation of the order was above and beyond. I was so pleased. I will continue to use Tiny Prints for all of my printing needs. Thank you Tiny Prints!"
"This Grad Card came out exactly the way I envisioned. Once I choose the photos and format, the project went together so easily and quickly. I received a very professional and personal phone call after requesting some help. I left some font decisions up to the discretion of the designer and could not be happier."
"Classy but not formal design was perfect for what my daughter and I were looking for. Card stock very nice weight. took a while to get color adjusted right with designer but he was extremely helpful and accommodating during the process. Also adjusted photo frames to showcase photos on the back better. Took the time necessary to get them right. Card turned out fantastic and I am so happy with it!"

This review is to correct the first review poster 03/07/2013
This review is from: Samsung Galaxy S3 mini GT-i8190L/GT-i8190 Metallic Blue / Pebble Blue 3G Dual-Core 1.0GHz 8GB Unlocked Cell Phone
This review is to correct what the first reviewer talks about 3G/2G incompatibility.
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz (2G)
UMTS 900 / 1900 / 2100 MHz (3G)
LTE - not supported (4G)
Other Thoughts:
From above frequency list, GSM (for 2G and voice calls) is quad-band world ready. This phone is capable of running EDGE 2G data and receive and place calls.
UMTS (3G or 3.5G) only supports 900/1900/2100 MHz.
T-Mobile USA 3G uses 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz with 1700 MHz dominates most area. You might get 3G connection from 2100 MHz, but hardly. T-Mobile is rolling out 1900 MHz this year, so this phone could get 3G in some area too.
AT&T USA uses 850/1900 MHz for their 3G. So this phone will not likely get 3G connection.
