Apple Responds to Microsoft's Laptop Hunter Ad Campaign
Apple's Response to Microsoft's Laptop Hunter Ads? This . . .
by Tech
Like us on Facebook
Apple is oh so cheeky. It's just debuted its rebuttal commercial to Microsoft's Laptop Hunter ad campaign. It's short, sweet, and straight to the point — PCs are malfunctioning headaches, while Macs are simple and user friendly. Can't wait to see what their next commercial will be.

I hate Mac commercials. I think they are the exact opposite of clever. They are obvious and redundant.

How stupid. Apparently, no one has ever heard of Linux. Wonderful. Love that the masses are ignorant.

Lol, this is awesome. I hate all of those PC commercials. They just grind my gears. "Macs are all about aesthetics." :OY:

Ugh awful! The only argument Mac uses in the ad shown here is that they're not as prone to viruses as Windows machines.

Love Apple and their brilliant commercials. I always get a kick out of how clever and cute the ads are. Much love for Apple (though I am still using a cr*ppy PC; hoping for a Mac this christmas!)

@sweetpeabrina, it is true that they are all just computers. Your sisters computer is not "fixed". She should take it back in for service.

My sister's Mac always crashes even after it was "fixed" AND a friend was just complaining that it took 6.5 hours to download an update to her Mac. Can we just stop already? They're JUST COMPUTERS.

I love the "I'm a Megan" at the end! Cute. :D And I love my Mac! Seriously, it's everything I need in one simple package. Sure, it costs a bit more, but at least I'm only paying for it ONCE.

Rent control and housing stability …
What's the effect of rent control laws? In post-Reagan America, the most common response might be: It constricts the supply the low-cost housing and causes a deterioration in the quality of the same, as landlords avoid money-losing rentals.
But a chief purpose of rent control is to provide "housing security," according to Barnard's Greg Smithsimon, in an essay on Planetizen. While economists may fret about the long-term effects of restricting the price of a valuable service, a short-term effect of rent control, the argument goes, is that renters aren't forced out of their apartments during housing price spikes, such as the bubble that many high-priced American cities have experienced in the past decade. In New York, where inflation has pulled many units of out rent control, new Governor Eliot Spitzer wants to raise the rent control ceiling to cover units costing more than $2000 (an amount that seemed like a "luxury" rate 10 years ago, but not today).
It's true that rent control provides at least short-term housing security. And it's also true that the days of envy-creating "subsidies" to long-term renters in Manhattan or Cambridge are mostly a thing of the past, thanks to reforms of the rent control laws. But the goal of policy makers should be to ask: Do the benefits of housing stability outweigh the unwanted incentives of rent control? Economists may scratch their heads over the concept of the "benefits" of housing stability, and but it's the question that a good policy maker should have to answer …

Hooters Restaurant opens in South Carolina …
Which American retail business engenders the most land use opposition -- other than Wal-Mart, of course? It might be Hooters restaurant, which opened yesterday in Spartanburg, S.C., after a series of legal battles. According to the story in the Spartanburg Herald-Journal, the opening appeared to have been a success.
The legal squabbles illuminate some odd features of land use law. First, the city recently annexed the land on which the Hooters sits, in order to provide the restaurant with the advantages of Spartanburg's loose Sunday liquor policies. It makes little sense, of course, to have adjoining urban municipalities hold differing liquor laws. And of course the opening was delayed by a challenge to the granting of a liquor license, by a local official who felt that the Hooters was planned for a location -- near a local shopping mall -- that was inappropriate for a burger and barbeque joint that advertises scantily clad waitresses. I'd scoff at such a challenge, if the opening day of the Hooters didn't feature a 16-year-old's birthday party …

The scarf is beautiful and looks fancy! The colors of the scarf match with all outfits.
Just as I stated on the other two scarfs I purchased, I love it. Again the scarf isn't thick but it isn't super thin either.
I like it. I read the reviews and thought it would be thicker and bigger but I still like it.
I bought this well-designed, well-made large scarf to double as a fashion piece and for airline comfort during cold flights.
Beautiful, satiny finish, trademark plaid in fresh color palette--love it.

Not as expected.Posted Feb 20, 2015
Pros: The front line staff was fantastic and truly the best asset this property has to offer. The pool area is also beautiful - intimate and well designed.
Cons: Better locking mechanisms on doors. Better hot water system. Update website to better reflect rooms.
Location: The location is great for restaurants and bars. A bit noisy but worth it if you are interested in the nightlife.
I booked this hotel based on descriptions from both Expedia and the hotel website. I chose a "penthouse" for what I hoped would be a luxury experience. Unfortunately what is actually offered really isn't a "penthouse." Rather, it is a nice enough condo with no balcony or attached terrace. Rather, you must leave your condo, go up a flight of stairs to the roof to access the hot tube and terrace. It is not all convenient - a rather awkward set-up for something being billed as a penthouse and presented as high end. Had I known this I would have skipped the "penthouse" and taken a lower level condo on the beach/ocean side of the complex.

Beautiful condo, great experiencePosted Feb 9, 2015
El Taj was a wonderful place to stay! Great location within walking distance to everything and right on the beach. Staff was helpful. Beautiful (slightly small) bathroom, comfortable bed. Outside noise was not a problem for us, partly thanks to the thoughtful sound machine in our bedroom. One complaint- our unit was billed as partial ocean view, but this was not at all the case.

Love the owner, love the staff, LOVE the food they made for me (I'm a gluten-free vegetarian, and every night the chef made me new, exciting and really delicious meals. It was exquisite.), love the drinks, and hammocks and pools and beachfront location. This isn't the Four Seasons or The Ritz-- it's beautiful, classy, clean and well appointed, but it's also smaller, more intimate and a little rustic, so you should come expecting that. It's also in a very remote area-- don't plan on walking anywhere from the hotel. But the grounds are beautiful enough to entice you to stay there all day, and if you have some extra money to spend on outings, there are great ones. The snorkeling trip to Tortuga Island was MAGICAL. The beach. Oh my god. Crystal clear, warm, aquamarine water, white sand softer than you've ever felt, barely anyone there... I can't recommend it enough.
I don't recommend the private yoga-- overpriced and not challenging at all. But everything else was really wonderful. Great service, great people and those hammocks-- we must've spent hours lying under the palm trees, watching the waves and the sunsets. So beautiful and relaxing. We stayed in a Tiki Suite and while we did experience a few tiny bugs, the staff was great about helping us out and we recognize that when you're in a remote area surrounded by forest, that's gonna happen. Not a big deal. Don't come here if you're looking for nightlife or a bustling town to walk to. However, there are other places on the Peninsula for that, so you can easily stop here for some relaxation and then move on. You should definitely come here for rest, sunsets, hammocks, good food, a swim up pool bar with amazing drinks and a sweetheart bartender named Eduardo. You can also hike to a waterfall! Pretty awesome.
It's slightly overpriced. But it's a safe, clean beautiful beachfront hotel with good, accommodating people working there and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay before moving on to Santa Teresa.

Man, it hasn't been a good couple of years for Lenny Dykstra: Former pro baseball player Lenny Dykstra's housekeeper accused him of sexual assault, according to records, though prosecutors declined to file charges this month citing a lack of evidence. According to the rejection memo by Los Angeles County prosecutors, a female housekeeper alleged Dykstra…
Alberto Callaspo, Angels avoid arbitration with one-year deal
Jan 11, 2011, 3:45 PM EDT
Alberto Callaspo is eligible for arbitration this season for the first time, but he's avoided the process by agreeing to a one-year contract with the Angels. Callaspo, who earned $460,000 last season, gets a hefty raise to $2 million despite hitting just .265/.302/.374 in 146 games last year. Acquired from the Royals in July for…
The Giants are going to have some problems in 2011
Jan 11, 2011, 3:34 PM EDT
There will be a metric butt-ton of "10 reasons the Giants won't repeat" or "10 reasons the Giants will repeat" articles written in the coming weeks. Hint: avoid the ones with slide shows. They're awful. Actually, you can probably avoid all of them except (a) the one I inevitably do when I'm hurting for content…

No expanded replay or expanded playoffs in 2011
Jan 11, 2011, 2:01 PM EDT
Bud Selig does nothing quickly. This is sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Purple Opal Basil Questions
This year I decided to try a new variety and I've started a few purple opal basil seeds in containers (organic soilless seed starter in sterilized yogurt cups with holes drilled in). Two odd things have been happening, though:
1. About half of the basil plants are the true dark purple shown on the Baker Creek seed packet label, while half are green with purple splotches. The plants look very healthy indeed, and there's no discernible health difference between the 100% purple ones and the 50% purple ones.
2. Two of the seedlings (out of 15) never got more than about an inch tall. The true leaves are half the size of pinky nail and very tightly curled, while the cotyledons were normal sized.
I did the microwave sterilization trick to the growing medium before filling the yogurt cups and adding the seeds, and have treated everyone alike, so I'm not sure what could be going on.
Have any of y'all experienced either situation #1 or situation #2? Do you have any insight into why this might be happening?
Did you add any weak liquid fertilizer after they started getting first true leaves? Don't know why only 2 out of 15 are cranky, but it could explain the lack of growth.
As for the splotches--I started 2 different opal basils this year. One was a Red Rubin, the other labeled Rosie. The rosie came up opal from the start. The Red Rubin came up green with splotches, and slowly turned all opal as they grew. Was interesting to watch, and I have no explanation--maybe someone else does. I do know that the opal basils can revert to green--most of mine last year did as full plants due to our weather conditions.

This is the best steriliser ever invented. Keeps bottles constantly sterile as it resterilises every 6 hours so you only have to empty and fill it once a day. Worth the money! The only thing that would top this is if it had a function to wash the bottles as well!Read moreLess

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Chapman University and Colleges Against Cancer serve as a powerful way for the students to raise awareness and funds in the fight against cancer. The Relay For Life Campus movement features campus and community events that offer an opportunity to honor the cancer survivors, promote how cancer risk can be lowered, and raise money to help find a cure. Today, with the support of thousands of student volunteers, the American Cancer Society and Colleges Against Cancer is helping save more than 400 lives a day. Chapman University is one of the leading campus events in this ongoing fight.
The theme this year is LIGHTS CAMERA CURE!. Teams can incorporate a Hollywood theme or Movie theme into their campsites. Our Stars and VIP's are the cancer survivors and we will see them on the Red...the PURPLE carpet at Relay!

It began as the story of one man and has now grown into one of the most impassioned property developers in Europe. Being the best by doing your best. Always. In new-build and redevelopment. Welcome to OVG.
It began as the story of one man and has now grown into one of the most impassioned property developers in Europe. Being the best by doing your best. Always. In new-build and redevelopment. Welcome to OVG.
Experience has taught us that it is the apparently unfeasible assignments that lead to the most innovative solutions. The only way to find a new way is to leave the beaten track. Our projects are a perfect example of this. The end-user is always at the forefront. Location and building type follow on from this. The building is not the end, just the means.
When founder & CEO Coen van Oostrom started OVG at the age of 27 a lack of financial means forced him to create his own chances. It is his energy and ambition that has thus created the OVG method. Since then everyone joining OVG has shared the same enthusiasm and passion for our profession. This is what makes OVG so enterprising.
For us sustainability means managing the available resources as cleverly as possible in order to provide people with buildings that are not only beautiful but affordable and environmentally responsible as well. Having our own Sustainability Center enables us to continuously stay ahead of the market. Because finding the best green innovations for our clients is what we are all about.
As far as we are concerned property development is the best job in the world. Every day is an inspiration – bringing so many different expertises together and working together towards a common goal. Even when someone other than OVG does it. Here, you can read about everything that enthuses us and what makes us proud to be a property developer.
Amsterdam, 11 December 2014 – OVG Real Estate, the Dutch commercial real estate developer and investor, has created the world's most sustainable office building after its newest property was awarded the highest score ever recorded by the Building Research Establishment (BRE), the global assessor of sustainable buildings. The Edge, located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, achieved a BREEAM new construction certification of 'Outstanding'. OVG worked in close partnership with the building's principle occupier, leading global professional services firm Deloitte and AKD, notary and lawyer firm.

Attention, Fellas! Use ALL Five Senses To Get In The Mood [VIDEO]
By Esther Perel
Attention men everywhere, psychologist Esther Perel has a message for you: "He who looks down there is wasting his time."
Confused? Allow her to explain. More women are stimulated by not just touch, but words. When it comes to hot sex games, if you want to engage your partner on every single level, you're going to need to capture all five of their senses.
When you do this, you're not only creating a stronger and more meaningful experience for both of you but building on your relationship in a way that lights your brain on fire (figuratively speaking).
Esther has an exercise for you: let your partner touch your hand and tell them exactly how it feels, tying your words and feelings together. Then, reverse it. Touch your partners hand and listen closely to what they tell you.
Your sense of smell and taste are also so intensely powerful and very primitive. With them, you can beckon your partner and take them in yourself in a deeper way.
Many people focus on the main sense of pleasure, which is touch. But there are so many things you can do to heighten your other senses as well. You will find that using more senses makes the experience much more pleasurable.
Head over to Durex to really reignite the sparks in the bedroom.
The G-spot is between the ears. How do you turn yourself as well as your partner on using all five senses? So much of sex these days is genitally focused. As if!
If you go to the right spot, this is where it's going to be exciting. But imagine that for women the best aphrodisiacs are words and Isebella Illiendez says, 'G-spot is between the ears'.
He who looks down there is wasting his time. But if you took your hands and you actually passed them through the hair, you linger there and you stay there with the tip of your fingers and the back of your palm, see I have all the time in the world, see that little word that arrives there in your ear when you least expected it, it just sticks there.
But not just in your ear, it vibrates in your entire body. So let me give you a little wonderful exercise that has to do with touch. So you, take your partner's hand and in one experience, you're going to just play with their hand. But the entire focus is what you are experiencing in your hand.
The second one, I suggest that you move your focus and your intention entirely to you partner. In sexuality, you want that intentionality to move from one direction to another. Now imagine smell.
We often talk about perfumes and not the smell of our own bodies. We can literally beckon someone by calling them through their sense of smell.
Another powerful sense that is part of this exploration is taste. Tasting. The taste of the skin of our partner. We taste the liquids that we each extract in our sexuality. Taste is a very powerful primitive way of taking the person and being given to a person as well.
Some of us are very visual. But visual doesn't just mean what I see, visual is also playing like what Vanhe speaks about like with the shadow and light. Don't reveal it all immediately. Let it unfold. Let a person want to see more before you expose them.
Sexploration involves playing with the five senses. I invite all of you to savor each of them. To discover which one is part of you sexploration.
Which one is the one you're most intrigued by? We each have all of them.
But each of us may be inclined toward one more than another.
Unfinished Business: 7 Reasons You're Not Getting Off
You may think you're not doing any major damage by simply sitting in a chair all day at work, but spending too much time in a chair can shorten the muscles of the pelvic floor. What this means, in regards to orgasms, is that the tightness of these muscles can stand in the way of climaxing. You should always make it a point to get up and do stretches throughout the day.

Another friend's brother loved ten for the sphere grid, and my da' hates FF because the battles are on a turn system.
So yeah, I guess it really does depend on taste. I didn't know they were making a 12, though, what's it about?

Brain Health And Preserving Digital Assets
by Nancy Shonka Padberg on Dec 18, 4:01 PM
There are two firms that are making breakthroughs in important areas of Baby Boomers' lives. One is in brain health, and the other is in preserving historical family assets digitally. As a marketer, it is important to understand, connect and engage your target audience. These two companies are creating engaging campaigns, and understand how to connect emotionally with their Baby Boomer audience. Engaging photos are important and relevant but so is the copy. Below in quotes is the copy used to connect and tell a story.

Happiness: The Gift That Keeps On Giving
by Mark Bradbury on Dec 6, 10:23 AM
Baby Boomers continue to gain momentum as a consumer group while eroding the notion that targeting people age 50+ doesn't pay off. Increasingly, brands are seeing Boomer marketing efforts deliver meaningful ROI. In a recent survey conducted by the Online Publishers Association, a majority of ad agencies and marketers identified Boomers as a must-reach segment for brand-focused digital campaigns.

Marketing: 10 Tips To Increase Your Success Rate
by Jim Gilmartin on Dec 3, 6:46 AM
Although all of us have basic values and motivators that drive us, we manifest them differently as we move through the spring, summer, fall and winter of life. Marketing and selling to Boomer and older customers is different primarily because of this shift in values. Our need for identity, relationships, purpose, gaining knowledge and growth, rejuvenation and recreation are always with us, but as we grow older, we focus more on having meaningful experiences, rather than gaining material goods.

NEW ORLEANS - The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) held a technical workshop on with industry operators Wednesday to discuss BOEM's heightened standards for offshore oil and gas exploration and development plans, share best practices and obtain industry feedback regarding the plan review process. The goals of the workshop were to promote operator compliance with BOEM's heightened standards and to further increase the efficiency of BOEM's plan review process. The workshop, which built on two other recent workshops held over the past year, attracted about 160 participants, representing more than 70 different companies.
"BOEM remains extremely focused on making the plan review process efficient and transparent to industry," said BOEM Director Tommy Beaudreau. "This workshop is an example of our ongoing and constructive work with industry that is yielding tangible results. We have seen continued improvement in the quality of the plan submissions that we receive from industry, and in turn we have achieved dramatic improvements in the efficiency of our reviews so that plans are evaluated in timeframes that are predictable."
"Since heightened plan standards went into effect in 2010, we have approved more than 80 deepwater exploration and development plans after completion of site-specific environmental assessments," said BOEM Gulf of Mexico Regional Director John Rodi, in opening remarks today. "I feel comfortable in saying that the first plans workshop was a significant contributor to this success. Let's keep that momentum going. There is more to be done, and our expectation is that today's conversation will help us move to the next level of improvement."
The half-day workshop began with an overview of the requirements and process for completing exploration plans (EPs) and Development Operations Coordination Documents (DOCDs), with a focus on key issues, including the calculation of worst case discharge and the subsequent application of those results. BOEM subject matter experts also offered presentations on air quality, archaeology and historic preservation, and waste and discharge requirements.
The program included a specific focus on identifying frequent errors in plan submissions and offering tips for resolution—with time for operators to raise questions and issues of particular concern about BOEM's process. Addressing errors in submittals, particularly early on in the plan completion and review process, can increase efficiency by avoiding unnecessary review of incomplete plans, and reduce the need for BOEM to return materials to operators with requests for corrections and additional information.

David and his guest were very quiet and clean. We would welcome them back anytime.
I hosted David for one night and had a mixed experience with him. The review process is important so I thought it best to simply communicate the facts of my experience so others can decide for themselves how they would feel. David communicated his plans very well in advance of his stay so preparing for his arrival was a breeze. Initially, David got lost finding my home and was in the wrong city. But a phone call solved the problem quickly and he still arrived on time. Once he arrived, we collectively spent a few hours talking to each other at various times during the day. I found David to be a very interesting person and thoroughly enjoyed our conversations about life, real estate and many other topics. Upon his departure, David did not return the key to my home and claims he could not find it after an extensive search. He called me to apologize and left me money to replace the key. When I returned home from work that evening, I discovered that David forgot to turn on my house alarm upon his departure.
Bill. once again, I apologize for the lost key. I REALLY did lose it. After searching my bags and checking the car a number of times, I was completely frazzled. That is probably why I forgot to set the alarm. I did lock the door. Clearly the next time I have someones house key, I will attach it to my car keys. You may want to suggest this to your guests. Sorry if you have any bad feelings.

2013 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD Review
Good acceleration, excellent handling and road feel
Economy setting up shifts too fast in some situations.
Excellent Overall Empty Nester Car — Typical Honda reliability. I particularly like the AWD feature. Even though we are in Florida, it definitely gives a sure-footed ness in heavy rain and crosswind conditions. I anticipate it would be super in icy or snowy situations as well. Great gas mileage! Even with the full-time AWD, we have gotten as high as 33.5 on road trips. About 27 in town. A/C in auto is quiet and draft-free. Love this car.

2013 Honda CR-V LX AWD Review
Liked exterior and interior features.
We have had continuing, intermittent problems with the engine not turning over when trying to start it. We can detect no particular pattern. It's as if the battery is dead. However, usually have waiting a few minutes and pumping the gas, it eventually turns over. We've had it into the dealer several times and when there, the problem does not occur so it never gets fixed.
Got A Lemon — Problems with starting Honda CRV. On a frequent, intermittent basis, the car engine will not turn over as if the battery is dead. There is no discernable pattern. I've had Hondas before and have never experienced something like this. It's as if we got a 'lemon'.

2013 Honda CR-V EX Review
We just got a good deal from Dobbs Honda, so price, certification, and reliability.
Not enough drive leg room if you 6 feet plus
Sweet Little Suv — We have been looking for a while to upgrade from a nineteen ninety four Toyota Corolla and this CR-V was in great shape and a good deal for a certified vehicle. I hope we have it for at least fifteen years.

2013 Honda CR-V EX-L w/ Nav Review
High mpg - averaging 26mpg / 35mph on the open highway. Solid build, lots of cargo for class, plenty of leg room in back seat. Solid build with lots safety features. Great acceleration for passing other vehicles.
Steering is sensitive, may just be a learning curve for me.
Outstanding Cuv In Class — Great handling for a "small" CUV. I average 26mpg and on the highway actually get 35mpg. The roominess of the back seat is incredible. "Power"? Yes this car accelerates very well and no trouble passing other vehicles. Build quality is top notch. I definitely feel safe. There is plenty of room in the back seat for "tall" folks to sit comfortably. Cargo space is comparable to other CUV this size. Overall safety, performance and fuel economy put this vehicle at the top of my list. I LOVE driving it!
