Daily news and top headlines for broadband communications engineering and design professionals
Memory Lane: Power play
September 16, 2013 8:29 pm | by Stewart Schley, Media & technology writer | CommentsIn Chicago, the great fire of 1871 wiped out much of the business district, and the capitalists came running. The fire's fury had produced an attractive, greenfield opportunity for building infrastructure in what was the world's fastest growing city. Nearly two dozen electricity entrepreneurs competed to carve out operations in small delivery sectors.
Upfront: OTT takes a nip out of video subscriber numbers
September 16, 2013 8:26 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsOver the top services (OTT) are affecting the pay TV business. Maybe only a little, but measurably. In the second quarter AT&T and Verizon added video customers (233,000 and 140,000 respectively), but their gains do not even come close to offsetting the subscriber losses experienced by most of the top cable operators and both satellite providers.
Capital Currents: The Dish "Hopper" Case
September 16, 2013 3:30 pm | by Jeffrey Krauss, President of Telecommunications and Technology Policy | CommentsTo create the AutoHop functionality, Dish technicians in Cheyenne, Wyoming manually view Fox's primetime programming each night and technologically mark the beginning and end of each commercial. The program content is not altered in any way. The electronically marked files are then uplinked in Wyo., and eventually transmitted to subscribers.
In Perspective: Snarter
September 16, 2013 3:25 pm | by Brian Santo | Comments"Reverse retrans" might merit some consideration. The Time Warner Cable / CBS dispute merely underlines what everyone knows: the retransmission consent process is utterly out of control. Some policy wonks are suggesting the solution is to eliminate retrans rules altogether.
Open Mic: Invest in employees, not new software
September 16, 2013 3:21 pm | by Tom Gorman president, opXL | CommentsI've seen an interesting phenomenon related to the continual changes in the industry, the constant need to reduce cost and the desire to be more efficient. That is, that whatever we have now isn't good enough, so we must buy something new to replace it.
Ensuring the content readiness of file-based content
September 11, 2013 9:16 pm | by Richard Duvall, Senior Video Marketing Manager, Tektronix | CommentsFile-based workflows are supplanting earlier, less integrated digital workflow architectures in cable plants everywhere. File-based environments streamline content production and delivery, a crucial benefit given proliferating end-user platforms and the diverse formats that support them.
Power Up! Cable's plans managing a key resource
September 11, 2013 8:33 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsPower is important. Can't run a network business without it, right? Which would make power no different from, say, optical fiber, or QAMs, or provisioning systems. The difference is that in the last 18 months, power has started evolving into a topline criterion for MSOs.
Operations Go High Tech
September 11, 2013 8:14 pm | by Mike Robuck | CommentsWhile the cable industry has worked overtime to overcome the perception of poor customer service when it comes installs the stereotype still persists. With an increasingly competitive landscape, cable operators know they have to do a better job of keeping their subscribers happy while also improving their fulfillment operations to cut down on truck rolls.
Why MSOs need HotSpot 2.0
September 11, 2013 7:58 pm | by Gopi Mohan, Assistant Vice President, Technology, Aricent Group | CommentsHotSpot 2.0, which was recently re-named Wi-Fi Certified Passpoint by the Wi-Fi Alliance, has the potential to make a big impact on the mobile connectivity landscape. The new approach to public Wi-Fi access is aimed at greatly improving the Wi-Fi user experience. Part of the movement is a certification process for existing hotspots and technology.
Engineering-Wise: Boosting the last mile access speed
September 11, 2013 7:50 pm | by Daniel Howard, SVP of engineering & CTO of the SCTE | CommentsThe broadband industry is now defining many of the last mile physical layer (PHY) technologies that will take us into the next decade such as DOCSIS 3.1, EPoC, EPON, RFoG, and now Remote PHY. But which combination is best for a given cable operator to use for a given location and competitive landscape? That's a question we'll be striving to answer at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo this year.
Upfront: Venture capital war chest opens up
September 11, 2013 7:05 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsThe spigot on the venture capital pipe seems to be opening a little wider of late, with companies specializing in various technologies important to the communications industry picking up multi-million dollar infusions, including two companies that bagged $50 million or more each.
In Perspective: Marriage counseling
September 11, 2013 7:02 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsRep. Greg Walden is trying to revive legislation to reform the FCC that he's failed to get passed before and is a good bet to fail again. He describes it as a bill that would make the FCC more transparent, though what it will mostly do is make the FCC even less effective than it is now.
Open Mic: Pay-TV operators and audience data
September 11, 2013 6:59 pm | by Chris Hock, senior vice president, product management and marketing- BlackArrow | CommentsNow that TV can go over any screen and can be watched at any time, the problem of controlling reach and frequency is exponentially more complex. To reach people who are watching TV time-shifted or on devices, advertisers need not only to buy traditional linear TV, but also to buy campaigns on all the other new TV platforms as well — a cost prohibitive proposition.
Memory Lane: Let's be friends. Again.
September 11, 2013 6:47 pm | by Stewart Schley, Media & technology writer | CommentsThe 1980s were sweet times for cable programmers. Flush with cash from a dual-revenue stream economic model that was the envy of the TV business, they were rising in power and eager to grow. Cable companies recognized how essential these programming providers were to the growth of their industry, particularly as cable began to push into major metropolitan markets.
Capital Currents: 5 GHz Unlicensed Devices
September 11, 2013 6:40 pm | by Jeffrey Krauss, President of Telecommunications and Technology Policy | CommentsThe FCC regulates the 5725-5850 MHz "WiFi" band under Section 15.247 of the FCC Rules. But much of the current interest deals with the bands known as U-NII. An important part of the FCC proceeding deals with two bands in the 5 GHz range that are not currently allocated for either WiFi or U-NII use. The big dispute is over interference.

Florida staff using social media as recruiting tool
The Florida football staff is going on the offensive when it comes to social media.
Over the past month, UF's assistants have picked up their presence on Twitter and Instagram in an effort to attract more offensive recruits to the Gators.
It appears to be the brainchild of new recruiting coordinator and receivers coach Joker Phillips. He was the first offensive coach to post pictures with a personal hashtag — his is #ComePlayWRForTheJoker.
Offensive coordinator Brent Pease, running backs coach Brian White, tight ends coach Derek Lewis and offensive line coach Tim Davis have all followed suit. They each share photoshopped images with their own hashtag on almost a daily basis.
Most of the pictures have corny messages, but some have been pretty funny and recruits are taking notice.
"I think it's cool for them to have a Twitter and Instagram. It shows a different side to them and they're having fun with it," said George Campbell, a 2015 receiver prospect from Tarpon Springs East Lake.
Some of the shots include UF players, which is something 2015 running back Jacques Patrick likes to see.
"It's nice because they post pictures of the team and you know they're proud of them. I'm sure a lot of recruits look at that and want to be a part of it," said the Orlando Timber Creek standout.
Although both prospects enjoy seeing the Florida staff on social media, they said it doesn't influence them at all. It's just something to joke about with the coaches.
Below are links to their accounts and some pictures from them.
Twitter and Instagram for offensive coordinator Brent Pease.
Twitter and Instagram for running backs coach Brian White.
Twitter and Instagram for receivers coach Joker Phillips.
Twitter and Instagram for tight ends coach Derek Lewis.
Twitter and Instagram for offensive line coach Tim Davis.
Earlier this month, I asked UF coach Will Muschamp about his assistants on social media and the impact it has on his program. His response was classic.

Good concept. However, The Harry Potter one is painfully embarisingly lame.

It's never a bad thing to get attention – as long as it's not the kind Miami has received, lately. Having young kids, I realize how much social media means to the younger generation – even if I don't understand half of it? It's , also, good to see the coaching staff having fun with it and Muschamp's reaction was classic.

Mind if i copy the bullet points over to my page? If only twitter could handle all those characters. *laugh* Like you said, it is funny how the Angels and A's resemble each others early season wrinkles so closely. I have to consistantly tell myself its only april, its only april, ( your blog reminds of this, and Im thankfull) and know the law of averages will come into play. As far as being calm during a close game in late innings, its a struggle for me even if they are out 15 games in September, thats just exciting baseball.
The Cubs had a bad April so I think they could use your bullets as well.
—Mark Gauthier
Sometimes all you can hope for is just to survive April. Luckily for you the Angels came out just fine. I'm just looking forward to May. :)
Jon – LOL, not all. I can't tell if you're playing or not, but if you ever want to "borrow" anything from my blog I am flattered, just be sure to link it back here. Yeah, I suppose there would be something wrong with not being so invested in a tight game, in April or in September. I just had to have a little laugh at my own expense even so.
Mark – Well, the bullets are intended to indicate a team that had a reasonably good April but has a few things to work on in May. But if you think they would be helpful, borrow away. ;)
Rob – The Angels really did do pretty good in April. This wasn't meant to be me blogging sternly in their general direction (no, that will be this weekend's post if they let the infield errors they just committed define the rest of this evening's game, LOL, *sigh*). This was more of a well done, but here are things to work on in May post.
– Kristen
No, the Angels aren't in a bad position at all. They are a ton better than the Tigers, though, who've left enough runners on base this last week to start thier own country, and the bull-pen full rag-arms serving the ball up on a tee. Angels also have one of the best managers in baseball, but Detroit…
Mike – Ouch. Ah yes, Greater LOBslovania. I know it well. The Angels had excellent diplomatic relations with that annoying nation last season and remain a little too friendly with them this season for my tastes even though they are doing well. The Tigers still have time to pull together and make a run of it.
This is a very simple game…

At Memorial Sloan Kettering, we are dedicated to helping colorectal cancer survivors live their lives to the fullest after treatment. We offer comprehensive follow-up care for people who have been treated here as part of our institution-wide Survivorship Initiative.
Your follow-up care is provided by a nurse practitioner who specializes in the care of colorectal cancer survivors. In addition to monitoring for signs of cancer recurrence, she focuses on identifying, preventing, and controlling any long-term and late effects associated with cancer and its treatment.
A visit with the nurse practitioner includes the following:
In addition to working closely with your treatment team, the nurse practitioner provides a treatment summary and survivorship care plan to you, your primary care doctor, and other medical providers. Your physicians can then incorporate this information into your overall medical plan. After each visit, the nurse practitioner will continue to update your other medical providers.
As your need for cancer care decreases, your follow-up care may transition to your primary care physician or gastroenterologist. The timing for this depends on your particular cancer and treatment. Memorial Sloan Kettering experts are available if you or your doctors ever have a cancer-related question or if a new cancer-related problem arises.
I am a nurse practitioner with special training in colorectal cancer survivorship issues. I graduated from New York University's nurse practitioner program and joined Memorial Sloan Kettering's Gastroenterology Service in 2001.

Hi, All. My name is Anja and I'm an alcoholic.
This is the first time that I've joined an on-line group and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better.
I'm here to share my courage, strength and hope, to gain knowledge of how it works for you and to have a spot to pick up a little extra support for those times when a meeting isn't handy or the sponsor is busy.
At present I attend two regular meetings a week and have a dynamite sponsor with a good chunk of solid sobriety. And just this week I made plans for my mother to enter hospice.
So, I'm taking out insurance and think this will be another good resource for staying balanced as I walk through the next life task!
Glad to be here.

I have absolutely no experience with Linux, and I desperately need to get my computer back up and running again with Windows. How do I remove Ubuntu?
To remove Ubuntu, you will need a Windows Recovery CD or Installation CD, or a Ubuntu Live CD. Note: If you don't have a Windows Installation or Recovery CD available, you can download the Windows 7 ISO file (contact Digital River customer support as said in Microsoft help page). You cannot install Windows without a genuine Purchased Product Key though, as these ISO files are 100% legal and will only install as an Evaluation copy for 30 days without a product key. To remove GRUB:
If you don't have a Windows recovery CD or you are constrained to download and burn the ISO files mentioned before, you can use Boot-repair. It is a tool that fixes most boot problems(Windows or Ubuntu). I suggest using a Windows CD if possible. To use boot repair:
To delete the Ubuntu Partitions:
Another note from Tanner: If you are using an extended partition, you might have to remove the big extended partition to make the space unallocated. |
First download this tiny program into the Download directory. press the In the new cmd.exe window, cd to your download directory. for example Then enter this command. Then in Windows
NOTE: If you want to use all of the unallocated space to extend into, then type in the maximum available space shown for the unallocated space. 10. Click on the Finish button. you're done. |
Actually the solution to this is very easy, anyone can do it. First things first. Download something called EasyBCD (there's a free version, you have to download it into Windows as it's a .exe) http://neosmart.net/download.php?id=1 run through the set-up.
The way to "delete" Ubuntu is to delete the partition it's using. That will make the partition available for reformatting and use in another OS. If you can still run Windows, use its disk manager to delete the Ubuntu partition. You could then format it to use in Windows. Or, perhaps (I don't know very much about Windows) expand an existing partition. You can also boot the Ubuntu LiveCD and choose the "Try Ubuntu" option. After it loads, find and run gparted and remove the partition. If Windows and Ubuntu are both gone and you want to reinstall Windows, you can repartition and reformat during the installation. |
If you don't have a Windows CD and deleted the Ubuntu partitionScenario:
You need to restore the MBR that was overwritten by grub when you installed ubuntu. In the old days, you ran fdisk /MBR on your system disk. The way to do it in Windows XP is to run the "Windows Recovery Console" which can be run from the installation disk or installed to the hard drive and run from there. The instructions for installing the Recovery Console are here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314058 However, since you don't have the CD you'll need to try installing it from what you have already. Open up the run dialogue (win+r, or start->run) and enter this:
Then you will have to reboot into windows and select the recovery console while it's booting. From there you will need to run FIXMBR which is documented here: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/bootcons_fixmbr.mspx Once this is done successfully, your computer will boot straight into windows again. |
You can go into the Disk Management utility and delete the Ubuntu partition. Right click My Computer, select Manage, Disk Utility. Once you delete the partition, right click My Computer, select Properties and go to the Advanced tab. Go into the Start Up and Recovery, set Windows as the default operating system and set the Time to display the list of operating systems to 0 and click Ok. |
If you're in to paid software I highly recommend Acronis. Paragon is also good. It has a lot of interesting options. It allows you to do everything you need to in order to do this. The order of operations is: 1)Get live media that will let you perform all these operations without an OS or MBR backup Alternately, you could use supergrubdisk. Directions on their wiki include screenshots and step by step directions. |
If you can boot Ubuntu the Live CD, choose "Try Ubuntu" option. Then try installing it again by choosing manual partitioning, It is the last option in the 'Prepare your disk' step. Reinstall it in the same partition you tried before.
I think it should work. |
A simpler method - Burn an rBoot CD and boot from it. When the menu shows up, select your Windows partition. When Windows loads, in the disk management, right click on the boot partition and apply the boot flag. Restart. Hopefully, this will work. If it does, delete the Linux partition from the disk management. You're done. |
From windows7, Install easyBCD.exe on your windows (you can find it at www.softpedia.com) Run it, and select RepairMBR, And then delete some partitions were made by ubuntu's system. I think, ubuntu is quiet Prettier than Windows ! |
1) Start with a working 32 bit live CD of Ubuntu and choose "Try Ubuntu" - check to have a working Internet connection (wired or wireless is the same) 2) Exec gparted and delete all partitions found. Re-run gparted to check it ok 3) open terminal (CTRL + ALT + T) and type: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install mbr; sudo install-mbr /dev/sda 4) reboot and install Windows normally from original installation CD/DVD |
Boot from a live Ubuntu media and wipe the partition table (and MBR) out with Note: you may have to increase the bs (block size) or count factors on a GPT disk. I haven't been able to find exact numbers but changing count to 8 or bs to 4096 should do the trick. |
What I did was moved new drive into c: place moved old C: drive into D: place booted off D: i used a disk copy program to copy the 'partition' of my XP to my new bigger HD. then I tryed to boot of C:...no go I then went into windows install, and went to dos and used bootrec/ fixmbr command (as shown above) on the C: I then powered down and removed the old drive completely. i boot ok fine off the new C: 250GB windows ONLY system. and I still have a backup 60GB with linux on it too... |

Day 10 = Chicago to Howe in Indiana
Trip Start
Oct 24, 2010
Trip End
Nov 08, 2010
Where I stayed
Typical, the only day so far of our trip where it totally pissed down! - oh well it is November after all, and we have had it pretty well good so far with the weather.
So with the crappy hotel in mind (which we canceled the second night) and the crappy rain, we decided not to stay the extra day in Chicago, so we did the typical true Fuglie style of driving round the city ourselves and taking the pictures on the fly.
I would still like to come back here and probably for 3 days or so to properly visit the city, and in the summer too. It was a shame.
Despite the advice given by the hotel receptionist not to drive through the city, I thought yeah whatever,I am BRITISH don't you know!!!! - I have driven through some of the wildest city's, London, Barcelona, Paris, blah blah - Chicago was a piece of piss. - They was big pussy cats man, actually I think driving round Chicago was more enjoyable than driving through Vancouver, or maybe I was luckily? lol
So after a quick spin around the city, we headed off to an unplanned stop because we was just dog tired again today, so we stopped at the Best Western hotel in Howe, which is a small Hamish county in the state of Indiana. - A room is fantastic, nice whirlpool in it!
We had supper at the adjacent Chinese restaurant, we had a lovely curry, and the bottle of Bud was $1 a bottle! yes that's right for those in BC who are reading this! $1.00 - it was on offer but the regular price is $3 - man this place is so cheap, so glad we are doing this trip through the US than Canada.
OK, so we are having a lie in tomorrow, cause we want to use the whirlpool when we get up! lol
Then we heading off to somewhere in New York state, but not the big apple, it is just New York state.
Good night.

 On Sept. 27, the Inyo National Forest sent a "letter of non-compliance" to Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, putting the ski area on notice that leaving June Mountain closed indefinitely was not acceptable.
The letter gave MMSA until Oct. 15 to respond. This week, it did, said Jon Reggelbrugge, the district ranger for the Mammoth and Mono Lake districts.
"MMSA met the deadline and submitted an operating plan," he said. "We are reviewing that plan. We may request some changes as we have some questions about some aspects."
As Mammoth struggles to retain control of water rights to Mammoth Creek, yet another lawsuit by the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power hit the region late last week. DWP filed a lawsuit against the Bishop-based state air pollution control district over dust control efforts on the Owens Lake.
Now, both agencies share an unwilling kinship—Mammoth is already deeply embroiled in a separate tussle with DWP, after DWP announced it would sue the Mammoth Community Water District for contested water rights to Mammoth Creek late last year.
It was 1 a.m. when we woke up from a rough and restless nap on the hard ground and stumbled to our feet.
The moon had just come up over the sharp and spired ridges of Mt. Tom to the south and it shone through the elegant, black lodgepole pines like silver water.
But we were in no mood for its beauty, even though we had been waiting for it to rise over the ridge since a 10 p.m. break, when black night had descended into the deep gorge of Pine Creek Canyon.
It's a scenario most of us living in the Eastern Sierra have thought of at least once.
It's a dark winter day, cold and snowy. The ground begins to shake, houses rattle and shudder. This is no 3.5 or 4.2 magnitude earthquake—this is serious.
The roads buckle and access to Mammoth is disrupted in both directions.
The lights go out—and stay out. There is no electricity for a few days. No electricity means no cell phones, no Internet, no television, no heat, no restaurants, and no grocery stores with unlimited refrigeration or supplies.
After years of approving requests for funding from those big, brown puppy eyes of local nonprofits and other groups, the Mono County supervisors kept their promise to stick to a budget they set last year to cap funds for "non-county organizations" at $75,000.
Twenty organizations attended the Mono County supervisors meeting Tuesday, Oct. 16, with hands outstretched for some county bounty.
Between Jazz Jubilee, Swim Team, AYSO, Chamber Music Unbound, avalanche predictions, trails, 4H science camps, and several others, the total amount of money requested landed at $139,861.
Maxine Shepherd, the longtime leader of the "Shepherd's Flock" sewing group in Mammoth, poses with the group's "Crazy Quilt." During the holiday season the quilt will be offered in a raffle to support the Mammoth Hospital Auxilary. The quilt will appear first at the Cast Off, then make its way around town, including a stop at the library.
His regular name is Bob Sollima, but for those who know the ins and outs of Dutch Oven cooking, he is the "Mad Chef of the Forest," and his yummy recipe for Dutch Oven Eggplant Parmigianais safe and sound at camping.about.com, authored by Monica Prelle, who is something of a mad chef herself. …
Another local candidate forum was held this week, this time in Lee Vining.
Eastern Sierra Unified School District board members answered questions Tuesday evening about everything from busing to budget to their ability to work with the district's superintendent, Don Clark.
The forum, which was held the same night as the second presidential debate, was lightly attended—about 15 people showed up, said Stacey Simon, parent and moderator.
On Sept. 27, the Inyo National Forest sent a "letter of non-compliance" to Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, putting the ski area on notice that leaving June Mountain closed indefinitely was not acceptable.
Feds, town, local foundations get it done
There have been trails around here ever since the first animals and humans arrived, but Mammoth's "trail system," such as it was, has never been the source of a whole lot of love.
That changes tomorrow (Oct. 20) with the unveiling of the Mammoth Lakes Trail System at a ceremony at the Welcome Center.
U.S. Geological Survey volcanologists and geophysicists began to conduct the first comprehensive, high-resolution airborne magnetic survey of the rock layers under Mono Basin and Long Valley this week.
When the analysis of the data is complete, the resulting state-of-the-art 3D subsurface geologic map will improve assessment of both volcanic and earthquake hazards in the Mono Basin-Long Valley region.
The map will be published by the USGS and made available to the public via the USGS California Volcano Observatory website.
Will focus on the Dream Act, Watson says
The Mammoth Lakes Police-Community Hispanic Advisory Committee has finalized plans for the next Town Hall meeting for Friday, Nov. 30, at 4:30 p.m.
Police Chief Dan Watson said the Town Hall meeting will have a tight focus on the implications of the so-called Dream Act. The meeting will be held at the Grand Sierra Lodge, 1111 Forest Trail.
In the early 1970s, I was producing a movie for my old friend Bob Maynard, the President of Keystone, Colo., at the time. I had met Bob in 1944 when I was skiing at Badger Pass in Yosemite.
I was in the Navy and stationed in San Francisco at the time. I had hitch-hiked to Yosemite for the weekend and paid my $3 to rent skis and boots for the day. Bob Maynard handed me my rental ski boots of soft leather with turned up box toes.
It's a little different this week because there are two athletes of the week instead of just one. But then playing tennis as a team is like that.
They are seniors Maren Hauter and Presley Mekvold On Tuesday, Oct. 16, they won all three of their sets in the team's last league match at the Snowcreek courts, against Kern Valley High School.
They won 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. Presley hit some impressive shots at the net, while Maren got to a number of very difficult balls in the backcourt court. Nice season, ladies!
Please consider the probable effect on tourism when the first article appears in the L.A. Times reporting a mugging or gang shooting in Mammoth Lakes.
It will immediately undo years of promotional advertising.
Who wants to take the kids to a "Family Resort" with drug deals going down in the Vons parking lot?
If the town skimps on public safety, all the money spent on promotion, recreation, airline subsidies, transit, and public art won't save us.

While I support what the FSF stands for, this is doomed to be an ineffective campaign. Even if everybody who knows what secure boot is buys a computer with secure boot (a bold assumption, most will), we'd barely put a dent in their sales. I think the best route to pursue is exposing SecureBoot for what it is - an anticompetitive technology thinly disguised as a security measure. It's difficult to buy a new computer that doesn't come with secure boot, anyhow. I wonder how the SEC would feel about such anticompetitive measures if a strong enough case were to be made.
I'm glad that the FSF is trying to do something about this. While it might not seem so bad now, they're boiling frogs - I expect that legacy mode will be removed soon, and Win 8 SP1 or Win 9 will disable support for BIOS. If we're going to do anything about this, it needs to be soon.
On a side note, as much as I hate people hiring lobbyists, I wish the FSF had more. People are far too ignorant to the problems at hand to be able to cause change outside of a governmental framework - and I'm also glad that the FSF is fighting ignorance with compaigns like DefectiveByDesign.

Designing Apps for Kids
With the experience of having built ABCKit and many hours of testing different apps for kids behind us, we have noticed some recurring app design problems.
For those working in this field, we would like to share some suggestions for designing and devising apps for children to help ensure the apps are correctly used by preventing some common design issues.
If you've interacted with preschoolers (ages two to five), you're aware that they do not quite grasp the concept of patience, especially when it comes to digital devices.
A splash screen that takes more than ten seconds to load will give rise to comments from kids such as, "Mommy, it doesn't work." They will get frustrated and lose their patience the first time they use the app.
The Splash Screen for The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
Even though The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore is an amazing app for young audiences, it takes between 24 and 28 seconds to load. But the soothing splash screen music keeps kids calm while the app finishes loading.
A splash screen is certainly necessary, as the app content needs to load before it can launch. But we should offer alternatives to this loading process to entertain kids while the app is loading; a puzzle or perhaps an animation could fill out this "waiting" process.
An app's home screen is generally not useful for children between one and three years of age (this changes from age four onwards). These children cannot read or write and do not yet know how to make the best decision when presented with several options.
In our usability tests we have noticed, for instance, that if a child wants to restart or resume a game, story, or activity, the child will not tap on the back button, which is designed to resume the game or revert back to the home screen. The majority of children press on the iPad's or iPhone's home button, causing the app to exit, and then look for its icon and launch it all over again.
This means that apps aimed at children between one and three years of age should immediately launch when they are opened, with no home screen or any other interstitial screens.
Kids Song Machine: A clear example of a simple and straightforward start screen.
For an app aimed at children aged three and above with different options to choose from, a plain and simple start screen can be used.
It is best to use very few buttons (three or four at most), maximize the size of the target tappable areas, and create the sensation of clicking so it feels like they are physically clicking on the buttons, which can help prevent possible mis-taps.
AlphaWriter by Montessorium home screen only has two large tappable areas with clear, concise, and meaningful drawings for children from ages four and over.
The Settings
We do not recommend settings buttons, as children often tap them accidentally. If an app has settings that require frequent configuration, they should be designed to be so simple that if the child accidentally changes them, it will not greatly affect the app's performance.
The Wheels on the Bus app features a button on all screens to change the language or the song, or for kids to record their own voice. Even though children constantly touch them, these types of settings do not affect or determine the overall performance of the app. It is a good example of a non-intrusive setting.
Settings of the Wheels on the Bus
From our perspective, settings are a function for parents, not for kids, so we recommend putting them in the device settings panel. Configurations can be made according to each child's needs in the Applications Installed section. The frequency of and room for error can thus be reduced.
Interaction Design for Kids
Think big! Think enormous!
Look at any child's toy truck. It's enormous. And look at jumbo construction sets for preschoolers for instance; there isn't a single small piece. Between 18 months and three years of age, children develop fine motor skills, so bigger is always better, particularly when it comes to designing apps.
Kids are drawn to large objects, especially if they are simple and easy to recognize.
The "A" from "Abeja" (on Spanish) feature in the Know section of ABCKit for iPad
We observed a two and a half year old boy call the ABCKit app for iPad, "A de Abeja," because the first thing he would always see and select on the screen is the first letter of the alphabet in the "Know" section of the app.
Easy tasks
Creating and developing easy tasks is the key to a successful app for kids.
Audio-visual enhancements that kids need in order to interact with the app should be obvious in the majority of cases, although, the sudden discovery of hidden features prompts kids to play and arouses curiosity in older children. This sudden discovery enhances the joy that preschooler kids need once in a while to delight their curiosity in fun ways and make them notice that there still some hidden areas waiting for be discovered.
Toy Story for iPad
In Toy Story for iPad, small details such as the glowing light in the middle of the image give kids a clue that they can tap on the image and release new actions, such as hearing the voices of the characters or watching a short clip from the movie.
And even though designing to make tasks easy is nothing new to UX designers, in the case of children using tactile devices, ease-of-use rules and practices must be simplified and re-interpreted. When it comes to develop an app, not all of the patterns defined in guides like Touch Gesture Reference Guide can be followed. For instance, when a child holds an iPad with both hands, usually his fingers are touching one of the corners. When the child tries to tap another part of the screen to activate an action in the app (e.g., move an object, turn the page, etc) the application may ignore the action. This happens because the device interprets child's hand holding the screen as a long tap, and does not execute the action being requested with the other hand.
There is a high probability that kids will unintentionally constantly touch the screen to hold the device, or will simply put their hands on it. Apps for kids should be much more forgiving with these types of gestures in order to function properly.
Challenge and reward
Kids respond to being praised and rewarded; positive words give them self-esteem and let them know that they are doing something well.
Games and challenges should offer positive feedback to let kids know they are moving forward. A clap, a word of appreciation, or just a smiling face indicating success will make the child happy.
In the ABC Alphabet Phonics for iPad app, every time kids tap on the correct letter, the app encourages them with phrases of positive reinforcement such as "Good Job" or "Awesome."
Kids get bored with apps very quickly. Unless they feel entertained or are challenged to win a game, they just switch from one app to another.
It is very difficult for children between two and three years of age to follow a game. They expect to be guided by the app, and expect that every time they touch the screen something will happen and, in general, they have no interest in competition. Children between four and five years of age enjoy challenges, are focused, and can have a lot of patience if an activity is stimulating enough. They like the feeling of being challenged.
Children six years onward strive for perfection; their idea of fun is winning. They do not simply want to achieve the goal, they want to achieve it first, make no mistakes, and do it better than their peers—they want to be number one.
During our tests with ABCKit, kids aged five and a half and over would trace the letters again and again if they were not happy with the result.
Educational or Recreational?
In our opinion, apps for kids should be both educational and recreational; one does not exclude the other.
It is long-proven that learning should be fun for children. Fun develops the child's innate ability to comprehend while learning because the fun enhances the natural curiosity that all kids are born with.
When children (and grownups, too!) do something for fun, they will do it a thousand times just for the joy of it, and that's when learning happens. We learn and comprehend when we're repeatedly exposed to specific stimuli and information.
Fun and learn should be always in the same context; if not, learning stops being natural (and fun), and it becomes merely teaching.

Hi Karina,
Thanks for this wonderful article. However I would like to have your inputs regarding developing animal conservation app for children above 10. Are there any specific advises you want to share.
Thanks in advance
Clearly some form of plagiarism is going on here: http://mobiledevices.about.com/od/mobileappbasics/a/Tips-On-Developing-Apps-For-Children.htm
Can't see which was first but somewhere someone is taking the wrong credits, sources please!
The article is very helpful, i was planning about creating an iPad app for kids, this answered most of m question related to its design. Thanx to the author.
Karina, thanks for your article, I'm trying to create educational apps for kids here in Mexico, and this help me to learn UX for kids in an app
Hi Karina,
Thanks for sharing your research. These kind of insights are a huge help for other kids app developers. Thank you!!
Thank you, I have recently been looking for facts about this question for a while and yours is the best I have found so far.
The "Toy Story" app on my iPad does not have a Spanish-language option as shown in the screen shot where the book is displayed in Spanish. Is there a different link for the version in Spanish?
I agree, Jason -- if "business" apps played on that child-like desire to be "good at stuff", and gave rewards (in a non-interfering way), I think it would be an awesome method to encourage adoption of new tech.
Nice article. Seems to me that a lot of these lessons can be applied to adult software as well. Don't keep people waiting with out feedback, make it simple, reward them. I think business apps should reward people--a lot of times it is mindless data entry that doesn't appear to have any value--give 'em a special badge for putting in 20 records in less than an hour! Give 'em a gold star for being current!
Great article. Good points, good questions for developers. But I notice you say it takes between 24 and 28 seconds for the Morris Lessmore app to LOAD? I have never experienced any app taking that long to load-- I actually have the Morris Lessmore App on my iPads (1 and 2) and it takes about 5 seconds to load the book cover screen. Perhaps you are mistaking the book cover for a loading screen. If you tilt the iPad you notice that the developers took this moment to give the effect you are holding a real book with reflective foil title. It's a cool effect.

Nina Simone playing a bouncing tune. Featured in the the December 1959 issue of EBONY, the late composer George Gershwin contributed powerfully to the success of singer pianist Nina Simone when he wrote his celebrated folk opera, Porgy And Bess. For it was her startlingly original recorded rendition of the Gershwin song, I Loves You Porgy, which rocketed the singer pianist into the star class and transformed her from a little known performer into the most discussed new jazz singer of 1959. This photographic print is digitally printed on archival quality paper with vivid color and exceptional detail, suitable for museum or gallery display. Price

Zinka Colored Sunblock Zinc Nosecoat
Great for those extended days out in the sun!! This formula not only looks cool but it provides the highest waterproof sun protection possible!
Zinka is the original nosecoat that was very popular in the late 80's, early 90's. It is made from zinc-oxide.
Zinka Nosecoat offers the absolute maximum protection available from the sun's harmful rays. Zinka's proven formula withstands the most extreme weather conditions performing flawlessly in wind, hot, cold & wet. Zinka Nosecoat works as a sunblock not as a "sunscreen". It doesn't rub in like most sunscreen, but goes on opaque to be seen and to afford total protection. A clear sunscreen simply cannot provide total protection. It's clear, the sun's harmful rays will eventually penetrate the skin. It is the color that stays on the skin that ensures maximum protection by not allowing sunlight to be absorbed by the skin.
Endorsed by Dermatologists and extreme athletes worldwide, Zinka protects & performs!
INGREDIENTS: Petrolatum, zinc oxide, beeswax, paraffin, sorbitan oleate, fragrance (parfum), zea mays (corn) starch, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E acetate) talc, vegetable oil, TBHQ, propylparaben, glyceryl oleate, citric acid. MAY CONTAIN: titanium dioxide, yellow 5 (ci#19140), chromium hydroxide green (ci#77289), ultramarine blue (ci#77007), manganese violet (ci#77742), red 6 lake (ci#15850), iron oxide.
