Toward a better tablet OS, part 2
Part one of this article can be found here.
A man could write for days and not say all there is to say about optimizing a UI for multitouch and tablet use. So I'll limit my observations for now to a few specific cases having to do with the mouse, which has influenced UIs so deeply, and for so long, that it's hard for people to imagine how to do anything substantial without one. This is, in fact, one of the reasons it is taking so long for a tablet to emerge. And although a tablet OS must be more than a touch-enabled desktop OS, it makes more sense to start with more and pare it down, if one cannot start from scratch.
A lot of what I want to say was actually nicely summed up in this video by Clayton Miller, author of 10/GUI, a prototype gesture-based multitouch interface. I had been mulling over many of these design ideas when I saw the video, at which point I spent some time cursing myself for not proposing such a GUI myself. Please watch, if you haven't seen this already:
Of course, he assumes a bit of an ideal situation. If ten fingers are interacting with the device, what's holding it? What if I need to switch the left and right windows but I'm standing up, holding this thing in my hand? Not only that, but there is a huge amount of noise when you have multiple inputs on a capacitive device. Fingers are resting here and there—is that garbage data, or is the user holding that window down with his little finger? These are problems that the Microsoft Surface team assures me are not easily solved with thoughtful design, but in fact take hundreds and hundreds of hours of user-based testing and experimentation. 10/GUI has some very interesting proposals, but raises questions as well.
On with my own recommendations:
One of the well-known facts about mouse-driven interfaces is that the corners are the easiest places to go to. The mouse moves easily along the edges of the display and gets "trapped" there. It's the reason we have our menus, start buttons, and so on in those places. They're even optimized for right-handed people: you usually have more freedom of movement in the leftward direction since that's the way a right hand and arm grasping a mouse will naturally curl.
Furthermore, in mouse-based UI, it is safe to assume that if something is being interacted with (a window being moved, an icon being dragged), it is happening with a fair amount of precision and care. There is no need to put the trash can in the corner, really, except to keep it out of the way; once I pick up a folder to throw it away, a visual feedback loops lets me guide it easily to wherever the trash can is.
Last, because the mouse stays in the same place if you don't touch it, you can make the tiny adjustments necessary to, say, grab a one-pixel border to resize a window. If you miss with your initial mouse movement, you can instantly and easily adjust. It's a bit like the way we our visual system looks at things: you "cast" your eye into the general area of what you're going to look at, and then you more or less automatically seek out the specific object you were aiming for with a second movement. This tendency has been borne out in countless experiences, and can be relied on as a sort of axiomatic user behavior.
Note of these UI principles—principles which have informed the development and control method in a whole generation of OSes—works in a multi-touch, tablet-oriented OS, or else is not nearly as effective.
First, the corners on tablets are actually the least-accessible places. This is not so with the Surface, actually, because it's gigantic, but with smartphones and anything under ~12", the corners are no good. For one thing, edges are generally bad on capacitive touchscreens and there are of course two edges in a corner. If you can't count on precision input, it's best to assume it won't be there and plan around it. Even if you could, your control implement (finger or fingers) don't automatically skirt the edge of the display. This makes getting to a corner a precision affair—not a great one to be sure, but a far cry from the automatic cornering of a bounded mouse cursor. This hasn't stopped a lot of people from putting things in the corners of tiny screens; sometimes there's not enough real estate to do anything else. Sad, but true.
Second, precision in general is not to be relied upon when you are dealing with differently sized fingers, shaky hands, and perhaps most important of all, occluded visual feedback. I can't see where I'm putting a file if my finger's on it. I may only be able to reliably drop it within a circle of diameter x, and depending on whether you use your pinky, thumb, or what have you, x may be quite large. Humans can, however, be counted on to move things in some direction—if we must move something left, then left it goes.
Third, there can be no secondary movement with coarse touch input. Sure, you can try again and again, but there's no way of telling where you're touching until you touch it. There's no passive cursor, in other words, that lets you place your pointer precisely and then touch down only when you're exactly on target. Moving your finger after you've put it down can tell you where you need to be, but if you think about it, you just performed a drag, and forcing users to perform an unrelated action in order to execute their intended one is plain bad design.
The consequences to a UI are clear: de-emphasize corners, implement natural gestures everywhere, and make actions intuitive enough that precision is unnecessary. Easier said than done, of course, but still one asks oneself: why hasn't anyone done this? Well, the ready answer is that consumers aren't asking for it. But as I believe I've shown, consumers aren't asking for it because no one has done it yet! It's a common enough story in tech, and has led to the creation of many now-familiar device classes. Game consoles, MP3 players, laptops, and smartphones all got off to a slow start because for years people were making them poorly and thinking that was the extent of the device's potential. The breakout device is rarely the first in its class. Certainly that is the case with tablets, and whether the Apple Tablet is the breakout device or not, I believe that the potential is huge and almost completely untapped. With luck that will change soon.
[At this point I stopped writing and woke early the next day to cover the Apple Tablet, which I would soon know as the iPad. That part of this story you're probably familiar with.]
Unfortunately, the iPad was a bit of a letdown. No surprise there; anything less than a winged iPod that lays golden eggs would be a letdown considering the hype this device has engendered. But it was more of a letdown to me, since I secretly hoped they would shock us all with something truly new and not merely grow the iPhone interface in such a practical and predictable way.
However, it is still an effective tablet device, even if it's not the full-scale, full-power tablet OS we all wanted. Giving a tour of the iPad interface right now would be both useless and sort of ridiculous, since I haven't even touched one. But there are many cues in the videos and screenshots that suggest that this is a definite step towards a real tablet OS. Not as many as I'd have liked, but enough to warrant description.
The similarity of the iPad's interface to the iPhone's is no accident, and it's a good thing in some ways. The buttons are the size of "real" buttons, have a regular shape, and rarely touch each other. And Apple's avoidance of windows means they get to use the screen real estate very effectively (if inefficiently, for would-be multitaskers). The relaxed feel of the email, contacts, and calendar apps, with their big, distinct touch areas and natural interface show how good an app can be on a touch-based device of this size. Maps, similarly, shows how by removing all the buttons and scrollbars results in a more intuitive app when you use your fingers to manipulate it. Steve Jobs has repeatedly said that Google Maps is better on an iPhone than on your computer, and it's even better on the iPad.
There are exceptions. Really information-rich things like iTunes or the YouTube app, as well as, I'm sure, some web pages, have borderless interactive areas and tiny buttons shoved into corners.
Apple has been careful to limit the device to things they know it can do well, though, so few real gaffes were on display. Compare to the HP tablet shown here. It's a veritable gallery of elementary (so to speak) mistakes.
Why are there two very thin scroll bars on a touchscreen device? Did no one tell them that the whole reason we desire touchscreens is to escape things like scroll bars? Microsoft has a lot of work to do. If they're smart, they'll quadruple the budget of Surface and the Zune and Windows Mobile teams and tell them to make something amazing.
Thus far I've discussed the actual UI elements, but what about the way you interact with them? This was the truly disappointing part for me. The ability to use two, three, and four-finger gestures, short and long taps, and other benefits of direct digital interaction are pretty scarce. Sure, there are some specific gestures in, say, Keynote, but come on… I have more multitouch capability on the laptop I'm writing this piece on, so I know that Apple has the imagination for it (a piece here on UX Magazine showed many intriguing proposals), but they decided to phone it in here. To be fair, many of these gestures lose their meaning when applied to a monoprocess device like the iPad (I just made the word up, do you like it? It means you're limited more or less to a single action or application at a time), but that doesn't mean they can't find a use for them. How come I can't hold four fingers on the screen to pull up my favorites? Three fingers up and down always controls volume, maybe? Where are the widgets I can summon by using both thumbs and forefingers to draw a square?
The fact is that what Apple has done is merely make an extremely elegant last-generation tablet. The larger screen, which elevates the device to a new kind of object that is interacted with in a fundamentally different way, is simply used to show more of the same interface they've used for years. They haven't advanced one inch, but rather satisfied themselves with keeping it simple and making a nice little device on which to browse the Web. We can't really blame them for this; they never said it would do any of the things we convinced ourselves it would. And to be perfectly honest, I want one, and I'm betting anybody who handles one will want one too.
As I finalize the edits on this piece, I read rumors that Apple is preparing a second, more powerful device like the iPad but better and more powerful. That sounds like the desperate fantasy of a despondent fanboy to me. Apple is too savvy to put out such an underwhelming product when they have another coming down the pipe, one closer to what they knew was expected. Not only that, but their stated goal (to put something out that is, in capability and price, between a mobile and laptop device) shows that such a device would violate the parameters they set for themselves.
As Jobs said at the beginning of the presentation, though, there is a third class of portable device between phones and laptops. Alas, the iPad does not exemplify it. It may, however, alert people to the existence, and more importantly, the potential of the position it was meant to fill.

"Apple is too savvy to put out such an underwhelming product when they have another coming down the pipe, one closer to what they knew was expected."
Did I just read this wrong?
This is what Apple did for years with the iPod. iterate iterate iterate, a trickle feature release. A very obvious strategy here...
I keep returning to this article and each time come away with yet another important piece of the puzzle.
Thanks so much for taking the time to break this down and quantify the subtleties.
Touch interaction is fertile ground for new thinking.
All of your thoughts are interesting as to the navigation of a touch screen computer such as the iPad.
However, building you context around the term "tablet', and calling the iPad a tablet are patently inappropriate. The iPad has some "future" evolution to do just to earn the modern designation of tablet.
The modern definition of a tablet is a computer that supports handwriting input, period. The absence of a keyboard makes the iPad a slate form, but not a tablet.
Sent using handwritten input, which I have been doing for five years.
Really enjoyed your post, I found myself thinking very similar thoughts ...
I was very letdown when I realized no mac os x leopard class system ...automatic "meh" pn my part. ...
I think that if the device turns to be a little loose on the security side - and gets understood quickly the homebrew that will come our way will be out of this world.
Also Flash CS5 Pro - automatic iphone packager ...
Flash is getting on the device wether apple wants to, or not.
They are simply trying to post-pone the inevitable.
The iPad has a gorgeous screen (it appears) and you can pass digital things to people.
Need I say more?
True, the device is nerfed beyond belief but the mere hardware will make a big splash in the tablet pond ...
good times
I'd love to see some real data on that thesis that a drafting table setup cannot be used for a full work day. Didn't people use real drafting tables up till the nineties and worked on them for full work days for years? Why is this now suddenly a bad setup if it was a good setup for about a century?
I haven't seen such a good examination of the fundamental things that are really different about touch UIs, well, ever. (Which I guess points out how unthinking and almost automatic most touch behavior really is).
But I'm not sure I agree with the second part of this article.
Your primary criticism of the iPad seems to be the fact that it doesn't (at least out of the box) make much use of complex multi-touch gestures that involve more than 2 fingers or drawing virtual shapes.
As useful as these might be, they have some major weaknesses as a primary input method. For one, they're not very discoverable. There is no way in h*** you'd ever know that drawing a box with your thumb and forefinger invokes some widgets, unless you were explicitly told. And even then, I'm betting the number of such distinct gestures that you could actually remember and successfully perform on a flat surface is limited to a small handful.* Finally, there is the issue of context -- all the gestures you mentioned wanting (favorites, volume, invoke some widget layer) are context-less in the sense that they don't really relate to what's on the screen under them (what you are touching), which would undermine the whole notion of "direct manipulation" that I believe is key to the popularity of (good) touch UIs.
Think about it -- would it really make sense to say, for example, "if you touch this table view with 1 finger, you select or scroll its contents. But if you touch on it with 3 fingers in this pattern, it changes the system volume, which has absolutely nothing to do with the table data"
* This also raises issues of accessibility. The more manual dexterity is required to perform touch gestures that are central to a device's operation, the less accessible it is to anyone with any kind of physical/motor disability. Now, visually-impaired users are a whole different story, and gestures of the sort you described might actually be very useful for them. (Three fingers swipe up = read me what's on the screen)
Oh, I hear you on that. I just picked the first few that came to my head. Of course "making a box" isn't quite a natural gesture, but what I mean by having something like that is that it could become natural - not for widgets maybe, but if you wanted to take a screen capture of an area, or make a little "lens" to zoom in through.
As for direct manipulation, that's all well and good when there's something to manipulate, but there should be a way to directly manipulate things that aren't there as well. It'd be a more high-level function, like using the command line or multiple modifier keys (things almost nobody does), and you need those functions (that are powerful but not easily accessed) if you are going to have a serious tablet computing environment. Not on the iPad, though, they're going all-objects.

It's all up to the audience now.
The final four contestants on The X Factor sang their hearts out Wednesday night for a spot in next week's final, and audience votes alone will determine which act gets eliminated on Thursday night and which three will advance - with no sing-off or judges' votes to decide. Additionally, the show isn't going to reveal the rankings of the Top 3, meaning that viewers won't know who the frontrunner is heading into the finals.
Who is the best TV actor of 2012?
For the second week in a row, the acts each performed two songs - one of their choosing and one selected by them and their mentor (though Demi Lovato is the one judge with no contestants remaining). Here's a breakdown of each performance.
Tate Stevens
For his pick, the last man standing from L.A. Reid's Over 25s went full redneck with a boot-stompin', old-school country throwback rendition of Craig Morgan's "Bonfire," complete with pyrotechnics onstage. By this point, Stevens knows it's his country shtick that differentiates him from the rest of the field and it's clear he's going to milk it for all it's worth (as is Reid, who donned a cowboy hat for the performance). Not a bad move. Reid, Simon Cowell and Lovato said it was Stevens' best performance to date. Britney Spears was the only dissenter, but her lukewarm feedback drew boos from the crowd and a loud, high-pitched gasp from Reid.
Stevens' second number was "Fall" by Clay Walker, which he dedicated to his wife (again). Another traditional country song, it was a more subdued performance than his first outing, but no less commendable. Spears called it a "direct hit," and Cowell put it even more bluntly. "There is about as much chance of you going back to your old job as me flying to the moon tomorrow night," he told Stevens. "Let's be clear. You've made your mark here. I think you've done enough to get into the final, and you thoroughly deserve it." Do you agree?
Carly Rose Sonenclar
The 13-year-old sensation from Britney Spears' Teens chose Elton John's "Your Song" for, um, her song and offered an expectedly polished take on the classic. Lovato called the choice of an adult contemporary ballad "predictable," but said she loved the performance anyway, and Reid also praised Sonenclar's "risky" decision. Cowell said it wasn't Sonenclar's best performance in the competition but said she'd likely redeem herself in her second outing of the night.
Who was the best actress of 2012?
For that, Spears selected John Lennon's "Imagine," and had Sonenclar both sing and play the piano for the introduction. It was a ... let's say "interesting" arrangement of the classic, one that attempted to give Sonenclar numerous opportunities to belt out notes on a song that doesn't really call for much belting. Reid and Lovato praised the rendition, but Simon had problems with it, calling the arrangement and staging (with Sonenclar leaving and then returning to the piano) "overcomplicated."
Emblem 3
Paying particular attention to Lovato's criticism that they were getting predictable and not working the stage enough in their performances, the first of Simon Cowell's two Groups made a point of spreading out and high-fiving members of the audience during Peter Frampton's "Baby, I Love Your Way." The strategy worked - with both Lovato and Cowell saying that the performance reminded them of the group's original audition, when they first showed the judges that they had something special. Reid called it the trio's "big 5 million dollar moment," and Spears told them, "It would be unfair to call you a boy band, because you're way more than that."
On their second number, the guys paid tribute to the original boy band, taking on The Beatles' "Hey Jude," which, let's face it, could have been a disaster of a performance. But Emblem 3 pulled it off with aplomb, seriously working the crowd during the song's "na-na-na-na" outro. All of the judges had nothing but good things to say, even frequent criticizer Lovato. "I was prepared to just rip you to shreds, because doing a Beatles song is very presumptuous," Reid told them afterwards. "That was risky business ... but you did a great job."
Fifth Harmony
Trying to show that they could both harmonize and perform a choreographed dance number, the second of Cowell's Groups first tackled Ellie Goulding's "Anything Could Happen." While their stage show was unconvincing at best, the girls again reinforced their individual and collective vocal talents. In fact, Reid told them it was "the very best vocal performance you've ever done." But will that be enough to keep them in the competition? Cowell seems to think so. Acknowledging the quintet had come into the semifinals as "underdogs" due to their fourth place ranking, he said after the song, "To get into the final is going to take a miracle ... but after that performance, like the lyric of that song just said, anything now can happen."
The group next opted for Shontelle's "Impossible," which they previously performed during the judges' homes round, and decided to incorporate Spanish lyrics into the song to gain some more votes. (Somebody paid attention to post-presidential election analysis!) Reid called the song selection "lazy" since they had already done it once, and all the judges (except for Simon) agreed that the performance was good but not great. "I would be really surprised if you guys are here next week," Spears said flatly. "I'm a little worried too," Lovato agreed. But remember - the judges don't get a say in this week's elimination.
So, who do you think will make it to the finals and who will be sent home Thursday? Weigh in below!

Detroit — Justin Abdelkader's huge blow sent a Ducks player sprawling and sent the crowd into a frenzy. But as it turns out, the Red Wings suffered the much bigger blow, and chances of recovery aren't looking good.
One hit changed this game and might have changed this series. Abdelkader was given a five-minute penalty and kicked out, and faces a possible suspension for clobbering defenseman Toni Lydman. Nobody is suggesting Abdelkader struck with malicious intent, but he was needlessly reckless and the Wings paid for it.
The Ducks broke a scoreless tie 18 seconds into the power play and rolled to a 4-0 victory Saturday night, taking a 2-1 series lead. Lydman didn't return, and in a league increasingly vigilant about head hits, Abdelkader could get a one-game suspension. As impactful blows go, that'd be crushing, creating a hole on the top line for a team that struggles to score.
Mistake upon mistakes
Abdelkader's feistiness and physical style are admirable, and often very effective. But he made a mistake on a team that makes way too many, and once again, the Wings fell apart. I think the penalties were warranted because Abdelkader leaped at the moment of impact. The hit began shoulder-to-shoulder but ended with Lydman knocked woozy, and with Abdelkader's skates high in the air. That driving flourish turned it into a head issue, and that compounds everything.
The problem is, it was hardly the Wings' only error of the night. They killed off the rest of the five-minute power play at the end of the second period and had a shot to tie it. But Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf picked the puck from rookie Damien Brunner, deked Jimmy Howard and scored a short-handed goal early in the third to make it 2-0.
The mistakes kept coming and the Ducks kept capitalizing, and this outcome had little to do with Howard, who was very good until the Wings buckled. The young defense corps is prone to stretches of disarray where they can't even clear the puck from their zone. Rookies Jakub Kindl and Brian Lashoff were out of position when Emerson Etem took a perfect pass from Teemu Selanne to make it 3-0. The Wings already lost rookie Danny DeKeyser with a broken thumb, and if Abdelkader is out for Game 4 Monday night, look out.
"I haven't looked at the replay that much, but from what I saw, I'd be real surprised if he gets suspended," captain Henrik Zetterberg said. "He comes with a lot of speed and it's a good hit, shoulder to shoulder. Of course, Abby is a big part for us, and it changes the lines and changes the way we play. He's a guy that eats a lot of minutes and he wasn't able to play in the third. But if we'd scored on the power play in the first period, it'd be a different game too."
Lack of poise
The Wings blew chances long before Abdelkader's big blow. They were 0-for-4 on the power play and squandered a 40-second two-man advantage in the first period. Too many fancy passes, not enough strong drives. Valtteri Filppula fanned on a prime opportunity, and moments before that, Johan Franzen couldn't beat Jonas Hiller on a breakaway.
"I thought we tried to pass the puck into the net instead of trying to shoot the puck into the net," coach Mike Babcock said of the power play. "Then we gave up that second goal and we let it affect us, and it shouldn't. We came unraveled after that and made tons of mistakes. That's what poise and maturity do for you, and we didn't show that."
For the second straight time in the third period, the Wings didn't show it. The Ducks rallied from a 4-1 deficit in Game 2 before the Wings pulled it out in overtime. But the trends are troubling right now.
This shouldn't be an energy issue, either. The Joe Louis Arena crowd was loud from the start, and if the Wings had popped a quick goal, home-ice advantage would have kicked in. Instead, with less than five minutes to go in the second period, Abdelkader unleashed, and the ensuing debate will be emotional.
The referees didn't make the call immediately, and that bothered the Wings. But the officials huddled and ruled it a major charging penalty and a game misconduct, and I think it was the correct call. And yes, it matters Lydman was hurt and didn't return. That means, regardless of Abdelkader's aim or intent, he struck too high, resulting in a head injury.
Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said Lydman had a headache and probably wouldn't practice today. Beyond that, he didn't want to discuss further ramifications. That's up to league disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan, the former Wing who will decide if Abdelkader should miss more time.
There's a lot at stake here because the Wings have little depth, and Brunner and Gustav Nyquist aren't the big bodies you'd prefer on the top line. If Babcock moves Franzen up, the Wings will look painfully like a one-line team.
"Obviously, (Abdelkader) is a big guy and he hit him hard," Babcock said. "To me, it was a hard check. Now, I'm not involved in the next part of the process. We'll have to see what they decide."
You could argue Shanahan owes the Wings some leniency, after he declined to suspend Nashville's Shea Weber during last year's playoffs for ramming Zetterberg's head into the glass. Shanahan whiffed on that one, and likely is aware of perceptions involving his history with the Wings. Abdelkader also hasn't been suspended before, a factor in his favor.
Whatever happens now, the Wings took (and delivered) a huge blow, which left them wobbling and wondering. They have to be really careful, because the next blow could be the one that knocks them out.

Bacon Apple Pie
There are an amazing number of recipes in existence that pair up the salty with the sweet. I myself rarely mix the two. Can't stand sweet & sour chicken. Don't want pineapple on my pizza. The thought of pickles and ice cream has made me sterile. Bacon...Bacon Old-Fashioned
As we've all heard recently (and redundantly), New York Magazine has called the bacon movement a dying trend, boring as a lecture about plastic bags and beat like the proverbial dead horse. Why, then, did they give us this delightful recipe for bacon-infused...El Arte Award

Could Homer Simpson ask for a more perfect creation? A doughnut…with bacon on top? This creation could have come straight out of Matt Groening's brain. But instead it came out of Portland's now-famous Voodoo Doughnut. I know this probably isn't...The Bacon Rage
What a week for bacon! Salon Magazine has officially dubbed this "Pork Week" and kicked it off with an article about America's Bacon Mania. Something like BeatleMania for carnivores? This article gave it up for lots of our favorite bacon blogs, and...If I had any money, here's where I'd put it
I don't know about you, Internet, but I find holiday weekends a royal strain on the wallet. Between the drinks with friends, breakfasts and dinners with friends, pedicures, bottles of wine at the house, cases of beer at the house…well, you catch my drift....Sir Francis Bacon – 1561-1626
Also known as the Viscount St. Alban, Sir Francis Bacon is best known for his Baconian method, known to this day as the scientific method of inquiry. A widely-respected scientist, philosopher and statesman, Bacon was also believed by some to have ties with the occult,...Grilling Time Again
I love it when July 4th falls on a Friday. It's the perfect 3-day weekend where you actually start the partying on day one and either rage on through, or have a full two days to recover. Believe me, I've done both. I was looking for something to spice up...Coconut Bacon
Will wonders never cease? I just ran across a recipe for homemade vegan bacon, using coconut as its base. I don't usually do this, but here's the recipe: 3 large handfuls of bulk coconut 1 tablespoon liquid smoke 2 tablespoons soy sauce/ tamari 1...Bacon Cake Redux
More bacon cake, this time for humans! This is a simple cornbread cake with crumbled bacon and maple/cream cheese frosting between the layers and, of course, on top. Yum! Have you ever done a bacon search of Flickr? Crazy stuff. I mean, what the heck is this...Organic Bacon Treats
I have to be honest with you, readers. My roommate, Marianne, can be a little stingy with the treats. Sometimes I go to the office with her to help out, and for all my efforts I get, like, two treats the whole day. It's pretty unfair, considering all the support...Roger Bacon – c1214-1294
Considered by some to be the first scientist, Roger Bacon was a Franciscan friar and English philosopher known for his emphasis on empirical research and experimentation. Bacon studied at Oxford at the tender age of 13, and later became an Oxford master, lecturing on...Breakfast Cake
Wow. You have to go check out this amazing, step-by-step recipe/photo journal of a breakfast cake. At first sight, I wasn't overly excited, because it just looks like cake. But you have to read through the whole process. This thing has every delicious breakfast...Can you imagine a world with Toaster Bacon?
In 1962, Arnold Barach dared to dream of a bright future, a world filled with ultrasonic dishwashers, electronic teaching machines, and yes, toaster bacon. Of course! It's genius! Pre-cooked bacon sealed in aluminum pouches that can be easily re-heated by merely...The Bacon Shop
Internet, I love you. You let people do and say whatever they want, and you don't judge them for it. If people want to shout their political views, you give them a soapbox to stand on. If they want to share their beautiful artwork, you provide them a virtual...Eggs & Bacon Sneakers

The gossip sleuths at TMZ discovered Tuesday that the troubled actress turned down "several offers" to appear on ABC's reality show "Dancing with the Stars."
According to the New York Post, the 26-year-old star of "The Canyons" wants to spend her time making movies, though the $550,000 offer would have been four to five times more than other contestants make.
"We don't comment on casting," a "DWTS" rep told TMZ.
By the looks of it, the 26-year-old actress could have used the extra cash. She owes thousands of dollars in back taxes, unpaid legal fees and storage locker payments.
Here's Lohan in her latest film, "The Canyons."

Then they should better realize that the HPC market is dominated by Linux and change their driver policies.And with that kind of computing prowess, were talking about reaching levels of performance that approach the HPC market.
Phoronix: Imagination Releases New PowerVR GPUs
While Imagination Technologies has yet to change their stance on allowing open-source Linux graphics drivers or improving the quality of their closed-source Linux driver IP, they released two new GPUs today in the PowerVR line-up...
Then they should better realize that the HPC market is dominated by Linux and change their driver policies.And with that kind of computing prowess, were talking about reaching levels of performance that approach the HPC market.
Imagination Tech is even worse than VIA or Nvidia. I make sure not to buy any of this stuff unless they open up sepcs and drivers. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. And I don't want the latter.
Shame also on TI for still using these things in their boards.
with the limaproject and the freedreno I belive it was, there is now hope. The allwinner soc is being powerd by a mali 400GPU.
I forsee that by years end, we might get a few raspberry pi-like boards around the same price point making people happy. Or so I hope. Then some media boxes with said boards or derivatives and with things like XBMC running on them in the next year pushing the opensource GPU soc's more. At that point, Broadcom/PowerVR either join or loose. Or so I hope anyway.
The LIMA/MALI project is a nice thing indeed but won't help an single percent to the ImgTec chip situation. Moreover all these projects are driven by reverse engineering which is still a painful thing to do.
Well, unless "deciders" on the "decider floors" decide to use mali chips instead of ImgTec because of the existance of a free as in freedom driver. But somehow I am not so sure about that.
Fuck Imagination Technologies!
It's too bad Texas Instruments uses PowerVR in their OMAP system-on-a-chipset solutions.
Well, indeed. A lot of Chinese users just use unlicensed copies of everything, but also a good bunch wants to be in charge and have control over their machines and not be influenced by closed "western" technology. (Though most is made at the end in China anyway...). Well, there is still hope that some people will choose a model with free drivers and express the why of their decision.
Maybe one (hopefully not so distant) day it will be totally common to deliver hardware per default with a free driver and specs for interested devs.
They lie about horsepower/watt. Vivante for example has almost 20Gflops/80mWatt@65nm or Tflop/Watt@28nm. And yes they need to change their driver policy, or else we wont bay their GPU, when we get rid of Android (for a standard Linux), from our Quad-Core Smartphones and Tablets.

Anytime you install or move the distributor on your 86-93 5.0L Mustang you need to check and possibly adjust the timing. Also advancing your timing is a age old way to free up some more horsepower in your Stang. Adjusting and setting the timing is an easy process but just need some simple hand tools and a little bit of patience. The simple process requires you to loosen the distributor, remove the spout connector and adjust timing at the distributor with the help of a timing light. Follow the instructions in the link above and you will be on your way to making some more HP in no time.
0:00:00 - 0:00:14
Now anytime you mess with your distributor, especially replacing it, you'll want to verify your timing. To do that you'll want to start out by removing the spout connector then lightly loosen the distributor hold down bolt.
0:00:14 - 0:00:27
Not too much, just enough to where you can twist the distributor with a little bit of force. Hook up your timing light to the number one spark plug wire. Start the car.
0:00:27 - 0:00:54
Checking your timing. On this car I'm going to go for twelve degrees initially and then after some driving will bump it up by two degree increments until we get some detonation and the bump it down. Once you get your timing at the proper point lock down the distributor hold down, kill the engine, plug your spout connector back in, start the car back up, and then verify that the computer is actually advancing timing.
0:00:54 - 0:00:57
Once you verified that you're done and ready to drive your car.

This category contains a list and associated pages of vehicles in all GTA games.
A vehicle is only considered a vehicle if it is in the game's files as a vehicle by default. Static map objects like the USS Numnutz and wearable items like the Jetpack or rollerskates are not classified as vehicles and therefore should not be in this category. Vehicles still count if they are not usually accessible to the player (ie: require a mod to access but are included with the game by default), but do not count if they are added by a modification.
If you are creating a vehicle page, please add it to this category by placing [[Category:Vehicles]] at the bottom of the page and a relevant subcategory.

Dear Students;
1) Professors are friendly- office hours are a good thing.
2) No one expects you to figure everything out as soon as you get here.
3) It's not a competition on who can sleep the least or stress out the most.
4) You're not going to be a New Yorker in a day- it's okay if you get off on the wrong subway stop.
5) Find your library- try different study spaces.
6) Student rush tickets and the TIC are good deals.

She said she's been working in the field for 17 years and designed her lecture to educate students about different types of orgasms, sexual response systems, and how to have more orgasms. Andelloux said the presentation would feature "no live sex acts on stage."
"These are adults and if they want to come up on the stage and get that thrill, then that's fine," said the 37-year-old from Rhode Island. UNH spokesman Erika Mantz said the lecture was "just one event in a month of programming for students around healthy, safe and respectful decision-making related to sex."
"Last I checked I'm 19 and that's an adult. As an adult it's my right to learn about whatever I want and sex happens all the time, especially on college campuses. It's really important for psychological and physical relationships," said Stevens, of Boston.
"I think suppressing the issue and not talking about it at all is worse," she said.
During the presentation, Andelloux handed out sexually explicit gifts to students in the audience, saying they were from manufacturers who value sex toy education.
As hundreds of students lined before the event, UNH student Joshua McGraw, 27, sat on a sofa away from the crowd reading a newspaper. The former Marine had no plans to attend.

At 26, Justin Maxwell may be running out of time to stick in the majors.
VIERA, Fla. — Justin Maxwell has been on the Nationals' radar screen for some time now. It's been 2 1/2 years since the Olney, Md., native made his big-league debut, launching a grand slam into the bleachers in Miami in his third career at-bat, and fans and club officials alike have understandably been anticipating his permanent arrival ever since.
The outfielder's arrival, though, didn't come as quickly as some would have liked. Beset by injuries and an inability to produce consistently at the plate, Maxwell has spent only minimal time in the majors since that noteworthy debut in Sept. 2007. And as he enters his third spring in big-league camp, he's still yet to establish himself as a productive enough hitter to stick in Washington.
He's certainly looked at times like a complete player, a fine defensive center fielder and baserunner who can hit for power. But he's yet to do it for prolonged stretches, in part because he hasn't been able to stay healthy.
Thus at age 26, Maxwell suddenly finds himself at a make-or-break moment with his hometown organization. Barring an injury to Josh Willingham, Nyjer Morgan or Elijah Dukes, there isn't an available starting job in the Nats' outfield. But with only 55 games of big-leagueRead more »

Isn't Maxwell one of the guys who's out of options now? Meaning that in order to send him to SYR they'd have to pass him through waivers?
- Dave Nichols - Mar 2, 2010 at 9:42 PM
there's a lot of love for Maxwell out there, but you hit the nail on the head pointing out he's already older than Zim, Lannan, Flores and Dukes.
- Mark Zuckerman - Mar 2, 2010 at 9:43 PM
TBC: I thought so, but after examining it closer, it appears Maxwell does have one more option year left. Though he made his debut in Sept. 2007, that was the first time he was added to the 40-man. So he's only been optioned twice: in 2008 and 2009. That leaves him with one more option this year, if I understand it correctly.
- Wigi - Mar 2, 2010 at 9:51 PM
Doesn't that set him up to be Jason Bergmann'd – he has options, so he goes down?I am not saying that is the right philosophy when putting together a major league team… but I bet that raises the bar a bit… a tie goes to the player that is out of options.Does Bernadina have options? My guess is, yes, but it is just a gut feeling.
- Mark Zuckerman - Mar 2, 2010 at 9:53 PM
Yes, Bernadina has an option left, too. And yes, the options game always plays a role with those final roster decisions at the end of camp (and throughout the season). We've seen it happen to Bergmann, we saw it happen to Kory Casto and we saw it happen to Maxwell last year.
- Craig - Mar 2, 2010 at 10:34 PM
Love the article on ESPN.com about you! Great stuff. We would all be thrilled if you could stay on the entire season. Also, are you planning on doing a percentage of bench players or bullpen like you did with the rotation? That would be awesome.Link:: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=hruby/100302_mark_zuckerman_washington_nationals_blogger&sportCat=mlb
- peric - Mar 2, 2010 at 10:41 PM
They are getting pretty crowded down in SYR with all the veteran AAA signings which include Tavares, Duncan, Owens, Loadenthal, Moresi, Smith plus Mike Daniel and Leonard Davis were promoted last year. That outfield looks just as crowded for both Maxwell and Bernadina to get playing time. I'm not sure but it would seem more likely that trades would be in the offing? Perhaps not?
- e - Mar 2, 2010 at 10:46 PM
Mark — I'm sure you've got plenty of other things to do, but if you have a moment could you inquire as to whether Opening Day tickets sold out today? As of 5:40pm, I (once again) tried to purchase 3 tickets. Each section I chose gave me the "not enough seats together, try another section". Then I tried 2. Same result. Then 1. Same result. I find it hard to believe that the Nats sold out every single seat (including the Lexus Presidential Seats)!
- Farid in Idaho - Mar 2, 2010 at 10:51 PM
I think that Maxwell should platoon with Nyjer Morgan in center in 2010.Hear me out.Last year, Morgan batted .175/.283/.223 against lefties but .344/.395/.434 against righties. For his career, he is .200/.302/.284 against lefties.For his career, Maxwell has batted .286/.352/.429 against lefties at the major league level.They are near equals defensively, and Maxwell steals a base every 16 at-bats compared to Morgan's one every 13 at-bats.If you use Morgan's numbers against righties (at 400 at-bats) and Maxwell's against lefties (200 at-bats), you get a platoon that looks like this:.327-12-61, 43 steals, .383 OBP/.432 SLGThat would protect the Nationals at the top of the order against lefties and would give the team enough major league at-bats to decide if Maxwell is a full time player.Ted Williams platooned five of his eight starting positions in 1969, hid their imperfections (Lee Maye: .094 against lefties) and won 86 games with a team of not-very-good players. I think it would work.
- Nervous Nats Fan - Mar 2, 2010 at 10:53 PM
I liked the story on ESPN. Do you have other ideas up your sleeve for how to get continuing donations? Could you set up some kind of automatic monthly payment? I am loving the blog and would be happy to continue contributing, but can't do it all at once.
- peric - Mar 2, 2010 at 11:16 PM
Maxwell is a better fielder than Willingham. So, you could see him there as well as center field. Harris the left handed bat is also there. Again, you have to wonder what the trade possibilities are for Wille Harris as teams like the Rangers, who voided Kahil Green's contract, start looking around. It looks to me like something has to give before the end of spring and beginning of May … I may be wrong but …
- greg - Mar 2, 2010 at 11:59 PM
texas is looking for a utility infielder, someone who could play SS (remember, greene was SS/3B) as well. i don't know if green really fits that need.
- Anonymous8 - Mar 3, 2010 at 12:06 AM
Bernadina has the upper hand in my opinion being the lefty batter and I think he would still be the fastest on the team although Tony Plush may disagree.I would love to see Bernadina get the bunt as part of his arsenal.
- Traveler8 - Mar 3, 2010 at 12:12 AM
I also liked the ESPN article – kind of exciting, being part of a new wave.
- Anonymous - Mar 4, 2010 at 5:36 AM
Not sure what WaPo was thinking not hiring you. Compare this Maxwell article to Kilgore's (also posted today) and his is a joke. So much more depth and insight in your article. Sad.

I love the smell of patchouli and am interested to see how Kiehls interprets it.
Leesandra A on Dec 7, 2013
I always wear the musk, and people comment on it all the time. I've probably sold hundreds of bottles this way, but every once in a while I mix something with it. That's the trick, and I think this will be a good companion scent.

This particular implementation might not be super-useful as a desktop environment, but I do believe that user interface innovations from games (especially those that require fast user response like FPS games) could act as an inspiration for a very efficient type of desktop interface.
One thing I really found useful was the radial menu upon right-click in the NWN1 game (the straight menus usually triggered by the mouse do not make much sense). Something similar would definitely be useful on a desktop too and might also be more touch friendly.
A 3D "maze" could for example be a rather handy way to organize groups of tasks (a "documents" room, a "browsing and IM" room etc...) for some people with a spatial memory, but would probably just turn confusing for most people.

how to honor the family indirectly
It's important to me to honor family members with my kids names, but I am having trouble making it work! I want to use names similar to family names, but not exactly the same. I would love suggestions for what I can use similar to these names.
Mary Catherine - Marianne, Cate, Catalina, ?
Shirley Grace - ... no clue.
Ella Mae- Eleanor, Ellie, Elodie, ?
Lisa Renee - Elisabeth, ?
these will only be used as middle names with the exception of Elisabeth nn Elise, and maybe Cate as a nn for Charlotte.Current Favorites:
{ Adelyn :: Elisabeth "Elise" Kate :: Cassandra "Cassie" Vivienne :: Charlotte "Charlie" Lorraine :: Adelina :: Josephine "Josie" }
{ Everett Cole :: Adam Carson :: Camden Bennett :: Alexander "Xander" Mason :: Aidan Blake :: William "Liam" Anthony }

When you are in sexual intercourse with your partner and you jizz all over their face and then you let your bladder go and piss all over their face! It is optional if you are using some whipcream in the process to rub it on their face to add a little flavor so you can enjoy this treat even more when you eat it with a spoon to enjoy this kinky and delicious treat.
Edward: Oh my god, last night me and Tom had such a good time, While he was giving me my hot blow job, he couldn't hold his jizz much longer so he did it all over my face and then some reason he pissed on my face. I had whipped cream on my penis because I couldn't afford lube so I added it to the thing, it was the best lemon frosty I ever had. It was even better because I ate it with my favorite big bird spoon that I got from my Capn' Crunch cereal in which burned the roof of my mouth, the lemon frosty fixed the burn though, its amazing!
Ron: Dang!! Next time you really need to invite me it sounds so delicious and kinky.

Buy the high quality mp3 right now! Thanks for your support! FNF UP!!!
Lupe Fiasco - "The Show Goes On"
Latest News
Filed under:103
Buy the high quality mp3 right now! Thanks for your support! FNF UP!!!
I'm proud to be one of the new members of the Lupe Fiasco website. Normally I'm very busy, but now I've got more time to exercise my love and appreciation for the greatest rapper/hip hop artist of all time (yeah, I said it, let's argue), Lupe Fiasco! Just bought the new single three times, hoping that it will be BIG at whatever charts it lands on. I'm ready to buy for whatever new release comes from Lu, just like any dedicated and loyal fan.
Everyone is throwing around the term "mainstream" and doesn't know what it really means. Mainstream means that it has been accepted by popular culture and is widely known. If that's the case, WE WANT ARTISTS LIKE LUPE TO BE MAINSTREAM. The reason why "mainstream" has a bad connotation in the past is that record companies either force artists on us, making the radio play Soulja Boy 10x per hour, or an artist will Dumb It Down to reach a wider audience.
The day I hear lupe rhyme about Gaza or child soldiers and have it be played constantly as a mainstream recording means that we will have won and the stupid commercial garbage will have lost.
Before you call something mainstream, realize what it means. Mainstream isn't a sound, it's a designation. The question is are you going to make sure Lupe is designated mainstream, or some pretty-faced, ghost-written, fake "I'm hard", over produced rapper the record company wants to push?
I'd like to propose a toast. (I said toast, motherf*****!) To Lupe! May he make it mainstream without ever Dumbing it Down!
I've been listening to this song heaps since it was released and I'm not gonna lie but it is perfect follow up for the shit that Lupe has had to go through with his label.
Not only the name of the song but the contents and feel of it are damn inspirational and Lupe and his fanbase (all of YOU) have shown that those big label corporations can be taken on and give a positive result
Please Do Not Bash Me For MY OPINION!! But honestly the problem I have with the song is that it sounds too generic. If you want to interpret the word generic as "mainstream" go right ahead, but when I heard the beat and the hook I automatically thought, wow this sounds like every other song out right now. There wasn't anything that marked the sound of the song as special or different which is what I have come to expect from Lupe. To me the song sounded cookie cutter and wooden. Even the lyrics were sub-par for Fiasco standards. It isn't enough that Lupe just raps about stuff other than guns and girls and cars, the awesome part about Lu is that he usually does it with so much depth and skill. This sounded *GASP* Dumbed Down! This just sounds forced, like someone presented him with the beat and the hook and he knew that it was what Atlantic was looking for even though it didn't really fit his style of rap. I mean after hearing "Shining down" and "I'm Beaming" this is WEAK compared to them. Those songs both have a distinct sound that is nothing like what's on the radio or what anyone else is doing and I think those could have been huge hits had Atlantic given them a real chance to succeed. Is this song terrible NO! Does it fall in line with the LEVEL of "Daydream" "Kick Push" Superstar" or "Hip Hop Saved My Life"...NO! My only hope is that this song doesn't reflect the rest of the album which I doubt.KEEP THE MUSIC COMING LUPE!!!
I think some of yall r sweatin Fiasco too much, take a sec to step back and reassess this whole discussion. Before I get into it, Yea I'm a FAN OF HIS WORK. What does that mean? It means I'm a fan of his art that he puts out there, the music the videos and his ideas. That doesn't mean I warship him and hold unrealistic expectations he is still a person, he just is a cool creative dude. Definitely one of the best hip hop artist's out.
A lot of these musical artists lose their head, yes its their fault but its also the fans as well. After all these artist's are still human and have their flaws, weaknesses and strengths. When you worship these people they can turn to monsters. Their EGOS can swell and their character can be distorted, you want to keep Lupe at his best?
Don't just brainlessly follow any project he releases, or force yourself to love a new song. Keep it real, it will only make his work better.
Don't freak out because some people don't like it.
I think the track is DOPE, I've been waiting for a cat to sample a band like Modest Mouse. Once I heard that intro I knew. Thats real nice.
As for the song. I really like it yea it does feel a bit main stream but why is that bad?
Michael Jackson the greatest musical artist of our time was main stream. Thriller was like the perfect balance, that is possibly how every artist should strive to be like.
Lupe's music can be mainstream and still excellent, mainstream just means more people will hear it.
I like the track and I'm sure there will all kinds of good sound coming form this album. I'm expecting big things from Lasers. I look forward to hearing some new LU.
This song is too legit. A catchy hook still can make a bombass song. Look at Lupe talkin bout Gaza, and you say this shit don't make you think? Damn, yall haters up on his blog talkin bout how you want some deep shit, and you can't even recognize it when it slaps you in the eardrums. Yo listen up one good time for real before ya start criticizin.
Lupe gonna change the game, that makes him a GREAT rapper..and yall compainin just 'cause you want someone side-stream to listen to. Bump that, be for real and quit hatin for the hell of it.
Do yo thing Lupe, this song kicks the hell outta everything else out right now.

Shell said it had already shut the Trans Niger's 28-inch pipeline to remove connections used for crude oil theft when the incident occurred, causing it to shut the 24-inch pipeline as well. It said the 24-inch line will reopen once it is safe to do so, while the 28-inch line will remain remain shut-in.

Royal Dutch Shell's Nigerian subsidiary has shut a key pipeline in the Niger Delta following an explosion and fire at a point that had been targeted by oil thieves, the company said in a statement Thursday.
The Trans Niger pipeline, which carries 150,000 bpd of oil through the Niger Delta to the Bonny terminal, was shut on Wednesday after the event at Bodo West in Ogoniland, the statement said.
"This is another sad reminder of the tragic consequences of crude oil theft," said Mutiu Sunmonu, managing director and country chair at Shell's Nigerian subsidiary, Shell Petroleum Development. Oil theft is a persistent problem in Nigeria, Africa's largest oil producer, and frequently disrupts oil supply.
"Unknown persons continued to reconnect illegal bunkering hoses at Bodo West even as our pipeline team were removing crude theft points. It was therefore not surprising that the fire occurred from the continuing illegal bunkering even as a previous crude oil theft point was being repaired by the team," he added.
The company said it had already shut the Trans Niger's 28-inch pipeline to remove connections used for crude oil theft when the incident occurred, causing it to shut the 24-inch pipeline as well. It said the 24-inch line will reopen once it is safe to do so, while the 28-inch line will remain remain shut-in until the fire has been extinguished and investigation and damage assessment completed.
Community leader Sylvester Kogbara, who chairs the council of chiefs and elders of Bodo, the community in the Eastern Niger Delta where the incident took place, told the Wall Street Journal that the pipeline suffered a spill early last week, but on Wednesday "it caught fire," wounding several workers.
Shell said so far practically no oil had spilled as a result of the incident since the fire was burning it off.
"What is visible in the water is from an earlier oil spill which was also as a result of oil theft," said Mr. Sunmonu.

Shell is lying. This incident is a typical example of the on-going collusion between SPDC staff, contractors and the Nigerian security forces that are engaged actively in oil theft. The truth must be revealed
A searchable database of project activity in the global hydrocarbon processing industry
Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
Will previously-planned downstream investments be cut back in 2015 due to lower global oil prices?
Yes 59%
No 12%
Depends how long current prices last 30%
