We recently highlighted some recent research about how mobile video apps are helping to fuel the increase of mobile video publishing and mobile video consumption. In today's Reel Rebel episode, Stephen walks through a quick look at Viddy, one of the leading mobile video apps for recording, editing, uploading, and sharing "micro-videos" from your smartphone Android, iOS, or Windows mobile device.
Why should you pay attention to Viddy? In addition to the fact that mobile video is growing rapidly, so is Viddy. Just last week they announced that they raised a hefty $30 million from institutional investors in order to grow and bolster its expansion efforts and they are currently seeing more than 1 million new users every day.
A Brief Review of Viddy's Social Mobile Video App
Viddy provides a simple way for anyone to capture, produce and post your video. Benefits include:
- Limits clips to 15 seconds - this helps with the processing time of added effects and encoding. It's kinda like a micro-video blogging tool.
- Allows over 20 different customizations you can add to your videos. Just like instagram, the app lets you choose from and apply one of a collection of filters and effects to the video you captured or to video that already exists on your device.
- Simple social sharing & distribution. Once you record your segment Viddy directs you to choose your customization and sharing options and from there takes you to screen to choose which social media site you'd like to send your video to.

Originally written on The Fantasy Fix | Last updated 10/29/14
Now that the fake football season has come to an end, the team here at the Fix chimes in with our annual "End of Season Awards." In part one, we look at the biggest bust, waiver wire pickup of the year, biggest injury and "Mr. Reliable." Biggest Bust (non injury) – Matt Forte by Josh Kay Matt Forte came into the season with question marks, due to the newly acquired Michael Bush. However, all owners of Matt Forte from previous years will tell you that a touchdown vulture does not necessarily spell any trouble for Forte's production, as most of his value, especially in PPR, comes from his receiving yardage accumulated. For whatever reason, Forte incredibly, has not been active at all in the passing game this year (based on his normal standards). Forte has had 70+ targets, 475+ receiving yards, and 50+ catches in every single season of his career, and has career lows this year in all 3 categories. If Brandon Marshall, who has had an unbelievable year, is the culprit, it doesn't make a...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis Rams left Candlestick Park unsure how to feel.
No win to celebrate, no loss to stew about and fuel a fresh week of practice and preparation.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis Rams left Candlestick Park unsure how to feel.
No win to celebrate, no loss to stew about and fuel a fresh week of practice and preparation.
Hmmmm, a rare, baffling tie.
Niners center Jonathan Goodwin compared Sunday's 24-24 finish to a three-hour scrimmage — just by a bunch of multimillionaires with a national audience watching and bettors fretting.
"First time ever," Goodwin said. "Baseball as a kid, anything, I don't remember finishing a game tied. It almost felt basically like we got a practice."
Neither team wanted this. Not the NFC West-leading 49ers, with a chance to separate themselves against a division rival. Or the Rams, eager to snap a three-game losing streak.
"It is a huge letdown," Rams running back Steven Jackson said.
Two typically sure-footed kickers missed in overtime as San Francisco and St. Louis played the NFL's first tie game in four years. The previous tie was between Philadelphia and Cincinnati, 13-13 in 2008. San Francisco played its first tie since 1986.
"I have to say, I've been doing this a while. I don't think I've ever been in a game like this," Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. "As I told our guys, we had a number of chances to put the game away. And, unfortunately, we didn't."
Greg Zuerlein kicked a 53-yarder, but the Rams were penalized 5 yards for delay of game — which holder Johnny Hekker said was his fault. Zuerlein tried again from 58 as Fisher played for the win, and missed wide right with 2:42 left in OT.
San Francisco's David Akers missed wide left on a 41-yard attempt that could have sealed it for the 49ers (6-2-1), who lost quarterback Alex Smith to a first-half concussion.
And just when it seemed the 49ers — and Akers' typically reliable left leg — would have one more chance to win it, San Francisco linebacker Patrick Willis was flagged for holding Lance Kendricks on third down. That extended St. Louis' last drive, a costly mistake in a long list of them on an uncharacteristically sloppy day by coach Jim Harbaugh's team.
"I don't know what to make of this," Willis said. "We have one of the best kickers in the game, and it came down to him at the end and he misses it. That tells you right there something wasn't right."
Akers made a tying 33-yarder with 3 seconds left in regulation after Sam Bradford threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Austin Pettis with 1:09 remaining.
On the first play of OT, Bradford completed an 80-yard pass to Danny Amendola that took St. Louis (3-5-1) to the 2, but the play was called back for an illegal formation. Some 49ers fans got up to leave, then returned to their seats.
Frank Gore ran for a 20-yard touchdown with 8:23 to go in regulation just 17 seconds after backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick scurried 7 yards for a score. Kaepernick finished 11 for 17 for 117 yards and also had eight carries for 66 yards, calmly leading the Niners after it took several series to find his groove.
"It just feels like it's unfinished business," San Francisco cornerback Tarell Brown said.
Gore ran for 97 yards, while Michael Crabtree made five catches for 70 yards and a 14-yard touchdown from Smith before he left the game.

On the last day of school before Thanksgiving recess, Victor Central Schools celebrated five of its student-athletes committing to a college for next fall.
Swimmer Jeff Williamson is heading to Princeton University, baseball player Pete Carrier is heading to Wofford College, softball player Lacey Clark is heading to Hofstra University, lacrosse player Kara Martin is heading to Niagara University and fellow lacrosse player Miranda Reininger is heading to Slippery Rock University.
Victor Athletic Director Ron Whitcomb said the athletes have plenty to be thankful for this year with the teachers, coaches and parents that have helped them earn the opportunity to attend their respective institutions.
"I think we're very gifted as a school district that when our kids have the ability to go someplace athletically, they don't have to worry about it academically, they can get in," Whitcomb said.
Williamson won the Daily Messenger's Swimmer of the Year honor in each of the last two seasons and won the New York state public schools title in the 500-yard freestyle last winter. The junior liked the mix of the Ivy League education and the quality of the swimming and diving program, which is currently ranked No. 25 in the country.
The son of Pam and Bruce Williamson is going into his fourth year of varsity swimming. He is going to study in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Williamson said the highlight of his Victor swimming career so far is being a part of the successful relay teams.
"We've won so many relays the past four years and I've been able to share that with so many great guys and gone to states with them," Williamson said. "It's a nice atmosphere to end the meet with the 400 freestyle relay."
Carrier recorded a .438 batting average with 29 RBI for the Blue Devils baseball team last spring and helped Victor win a state championship in 2011 and a sectional title in 2012. The third baseman said the college satisfied his academic needs and felt at home with the coaches and players.
"The recruiting process is not just a one-year thing, it's been two years probably for me," Carrier said. "It's a lot of stress and a lot of ups and downs. Signing the paper was a huge emotional stress release. I can finally relax and focus on school and getting better."
The son of Dave and Lauri Carrier is looking to study pre-med at Wofford. Carrier is going into his fourth year of varsity baseball for the Blue Devils this spring. His favorite memory of playing baseball at Victor was winning the numerous titles while playing alongside his friends.
Clark, a star shortstop for the Blue Devils softball team, has been a First-Team All-Monroe County selection three times. She liked the way Hofstra's campus is setup.
Page 2 of 2 - "The campus is really different, it's split in half by a highway," Clark said. "One side is all academics and the other side is all sports and dorms. I really like the idea of having two separate lives almost, so you can change your mindset whether your doing classes, participating in a sport or just relaxing."
The daughter of Frank and Chris Clark is going to study occupational therapy. Clark, who is entering her fifth year of varsity softball, said her favorite memories have been the team trips down south every year because of how the girls are able to bond.
Martin played defense for the Victor girls lacrosse team, which reached the Section 5 Class B semifinals in 2011 and 2012, and the finals in 2010. The junior is looking to study pre-med at Niagara.
"I liked how the buildings were walking difference and they just got a new science building which works for my major, so I was excited about that," Martin said. "There are a couple of views where you can see gorges and that was really pretty."
The daughter of Denee and George Martin is going into her third year of varsity lacrosse. Martin said her favorite part of playing for the Blue Devils has been playing with her friends.
Reininger played defense for Victor's lacrosse team the last two years. The Blue Devils allowed just 9.89 goals-per-game last season. Reininger felt right at home when she took the admissions tour at Slippery Rock.
"We got to go through the dorms and I just had a really good time meeting with the coach," she said. "The school fits fit my majors perfectly and it leaves me options if I want to change majors. I couldn't see myself anywhere else."
The daughter of Dave and Robin Reininger has also enjoyed making new friends and being able to grow as a team. Reininger is going to study health science.

The goods: Miami's master of whimsical dining, Barton G Weiss expands his culinary empire with Prelude by Barton G, a theater supper club at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. His flagship restaurant on the Beach is already a huge hit, with locals and tourists going ga ga over the circus-like atmosphere and quirky presentations. But Barton G is taking a different approach with this venture, focusing on the wine list and creating a concise, rapidly-executed menu (they promise to get you three courses in 60 minutes). So don't expect sparklers in your food. That being said, there are still plenty of unconventional elements like specially-commissioned plates consisting of wooden boards, hand-blown glass platters and silver trays with mini-cast-iron pots. Seatings start at 5pm with the 6:15pm slot reserved for ticket holders. The restaurant will also be open on days when there are no performances at the center.
Ambiance: Located on the second floor of the Ziff Opera House, the dining room is a cushy deco throwback with a lily-pad chandelier, dark wooden booths, toffee-colored walls and plush carpeting. An amber-colored bar features a high-tech wine storage system where ninety varieties are offered by the glass from airtight bottles.
The grub: The greatest hits of contemporary American dining. Expect French, Asian and Italian influences on everything from seared tuna wth beet salad to goat cheese tortellini. Everyone is required to order the $39 three-course menu, but one of the perks is that you can pick and choose any combo of the usual appetizer-main-dessert categories. Meaning, if you want three main courses for dinner, you can get it (though we don't recommend that, if only because it's a shame to miss out on the showman's gluttonous desserts.)
Starters include a smoked salmon panzanella salad, butter-poached shrimp over fennel and watercress and beef carpaccio Entrees aren't huge, but portioned appropriately given the fact that you will be eating two other dishes. Mains include a roasted chicken with fingerling potatoes and escarole, skirt steak with individual cast iron pots of cinnamon-spiked black beans and corn salsa, a crisp red snapper with a lemon-caper sauce and short ribs "en croute" presented in a metal tin and topped with flaky pastry dough.
Desserts are big enough for two and a bit more theatrical. A reimagined PB & J consists of grape gelato flanked by two pyramids of peanut butter mousse and the Prelude Sundae is trio of cinnamon ice cream, roasted caramel apple slices and a mini caramel apple. The epic wine list is helpfully paired with each course in a choice of three pour sizes – a taste for 1.5 ounces, a half at 4 ounces and a glass at 6 ounces.
Verdict: Perfect for a quick dinner downtown or a glass of wine post-performance, this tony supper club is a grown up option from Miami's most prolific party planner.

File sharing with MLDonkey and KMLDonkey
The multi-network MLDonkey client gives users access to all the major file sharing networks. We'll show you how to set up MLDonkey and how you can control the MLDonkey client with a KDE front end called KMLDonkey.
Peer-to-peer file-sharing is one of the most controversial applications of our times. Users who put their complete CD collections on their hard disks, and invite other users to download them, have drawn the scrutiny of the music and movie industries. But when file sharing is used legally, it is an excellent way of making files available without the need for purchasing remote web space. Some of the more prominent examples of file sharing networks are Morpheus, Gnutella, BitTorrent, and Donkey/eMule. Recent clients that can handle multiple peer-to-peer networks and give users more intuitive access. One such client is MLDonkey.

China inflation accelerates to 2.4% year-on-year in March
Published on Apr 11, 2014 11:05 AM
BEIJING (AFP) China's inflation rate accelerated to 2.4 per cent year-on-year in March, the government said Friday, driven by higher food prices.
The increase in the consumer price index (CPI) announced by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) was up from the 2.0 per cent recorded in February, but marginally below economist forecasts of 2.5 per cent reported by Dow Jones Newswires.
Food prices rose 4.1 per cent in March from the year before, the NBS said.
The acceleration in inflation may assuage economists' concerns that the risk of deflation in the world's second-largest economy was rising after February's figure.

Super accurate nuclear clock proposed
The Weltzeituhr (World Clock) at Alexanderplatz, Berlin, Germany isn't anywhere near as accurate as the nuclear clock proposed by researchers (Photo: Shutterstock)
Article Summary
The NIST-F1 atomic clock that currently serves as primary time and frequency standard for the U.S. is expected to neither gain nor lose a second in more than 100 million years. That might sound pretty accurate, but a proposed nuclear clock could make it look like a cheap digital wristwatch. It is claimed that the proposed clock would neither gain nor lose 1/20th of a second in 14 billion years. To put that in context, that's the estimated age of the universe.

Yammering on cell phones in public; driving obnoxiously; leaving people on hold; cursing and littering. Americans across the country say we are ruder than ever, according to a new survey released today.
Nearly eight in 10 respondents to the poll said lack of respect and courtesy is a serious national problem, and six in 10 said the problem is getting worse.
"They told us directly that it was a real problem," said Steve Farkas, a co-author of the study, which was produced by Public Agenda, a public policy research group.
"They're not talking about table manners; they're talking about treating people in a decent way."
The Effects of Sept. 11
According to the survey, fewer people thought rude and selfish behavior was on the rise than in the past, however. The study — which was conducted in January — found 61 percent agreed there was more rude behavior than in the past.
A January 2000 Gallup poll found that number to be 78 percent. A May 1999 ABCNEWS poll found 73 percent of Americans felt people's manners were worse today than 20 or 30 years ago.
The new poll found 74 percent of respondents said Americans were more thoughtful and caring after the Sept. 11 attacks, but only 34 percent said the change would last for a long time. Almost a quarter said the good feeling had already passed.
What's to Blame?
Survey respondents singled out a few reasons for our apparent increasing rudeness — particularly the impact of new technology.
"If you had to choose a new technology that has had an impact, it's the cell phone," Farkas said. "This really drove people crazy."
More than a third of survey respondents said they were subjected to loud and annoying cell phone conversations. They also emphasized road rage and rude drivers as a serious and growing problem.
People also blamed parents for not instilling courtesy in their children, and popular culture for encouraging rude behavior. A sizable number of respondents — 41 percent — admitted they were even sometimes part of the problem themselves.
The poll found some encouraging responses, too. People said that Americans were less rude toward the elderly and disabled, for example.
Nearly half said they "often" see people being considerate, and 64 percent described their neighbors as friendly and helpful.
An Age-Old Problem, But a Real One
People have complained about the decline in manners and an increase in rudeness for centuries, historians note.
"Concern about rudeness is absolutely perennial," said Fordham University professor Mark Caldwell, author of A Short History of Rudeness. "It's ancient; it never goes away."
In America, the Founding Fathers often discuss questions of etiquette and manners. Inventions such as movies and the telephone stirred fears of making the next generation more vulgar, or even depraved, he said.
Some thinkers have dismissed etiquette and manners as relatively trivial compared to serious issues of morality. Others have argued for the central importance of etiquette in maintaining a civilized way of life.
Defenders of the importance of politeness say manners govern virtually all of our everyday interactions, from dealing with co-workers to waiters to people we pass on the street, and are a reflection of the age-old precept to love thy neighbor.
"You're constantly in a world framed and guided by manners," Caldwell said. "They're the ways we relate to each other socially."
The authors of the Public Agenda study agree.

Happy birthday, Git! Cheers to 10 years
- By Justine Davis, Marketing Campaign Manager, Developer Tools
- Dev Tools, Developer
- On April 6, 2015
Dear Git, Watching you grow up over the last 10 years has been quite the journey. When your creator, Linus Torvalds, first announced you were coming into this world after only three days of coding, we had no idea how big of an impact you would have on all of our lives. You allow teams everywhere to have a 'Git-er-done' attitude so they can work faster and collaborate better, you put dollars back into pockets with cheap local branching, and make it possible to work offline just about anywhere.

Employee Furloughs and Auxiliary Work and Training Status
Global and domestic economic challenges impact demand for the products Union Pacific ships. As a result, fluctuating demand for train/yard service employees can cause some employees to be furloughed or placed on Auxiliary Work and Training Status (AWTS) boards.
We invest in our employees during a furlough to get them back to work as soon as possible. Through initiatives such as our AWTS agreements, furloughed employees on about 65 percent of our railroad are given the opportunity to work and train on a part-time basis. Often, it can take up to 90 days for an employee to complete the necessary refresher training and examinations when returning to work. The AWTS program helps employees maintain their training and proficiency while working on a part-time basis, thereby making it possible for them to return more quickly once they have been recalled to work. Employees taking advantage of this program retain full healthcare benefits and accrue service time toward Railroad Retirement benefits.

Officials: Mysterious ocean catch was mustard gas
BOSTON State and federal officials worked Tuesday to decontaminate a clam boat anchored in isolation off Massachusetts after it dredged up old munitions laced with mustard gas, severely sickening a crewman.
The Coast Guard was trying to locate the two military shells, which the crew tossed overboard in about 60 feet of water about 45 miles south of Long Island, said Coast Guard Petty Officer James Rhodes. He acknowledged finding the shells will be difficult.
The military used the ocean as a dumping ground for munitions from after World War II through 1970. While the tons of old chemical weapons beneath U.S. waters present a danger to fishermen, experts don't believe they are a possible source of weapons for terrorists.
The two shells that came aboard the Atlantic City, N.J.-based vessel Sunday were in a haul of clams. The area is in a known munitions dumping zone and is on charts, Rhodes said.
A National Guard team boarded the vessel, the ESS Pursuit, on Tuesday to test for contamination, while the Coast Guard worked to secure the ship in waters off New Bedford so that it can be moored and decontaminated. The captain and first mate have declined to leave the 145-foot dragger, fearing it could run aground, the Coast Guard said.
The boat had returned to New Bedford early Monday after one of its six crewmen reported blistering and shortness of breath.
Hours later, another crewman was brought ashore after he reported feeling lightheaded. He was examined and released. Two other crewmen left the boat late Monday, with one reporting nose and eye irritation.
The most seriously injured crewman, whom officials did not identify, had painful blisters about three-quarters of an inch high on an arm and a leg, said Dr. Edward Boyer, a toxicologist who is treating the man at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester.
Officials weren't sure at first what the crew was exposed to, but Boyer said blood and urine tests confirmed exposure to mustard gas, used most frequently during World War I.
"It literally pulls the top of the skin off the layer underneath it," Boyer said. But Boyer said his patient was "handling it very well."
The Defense Department began using the ocean as a dumping ground for chemical and conventional munitions after World War II. The military says it stopped in 1970, and two years later Congress banned waste disposal in oceans, including chemical weapons.
Officials say it's impossible to know exactly how much and what type of weapons have been dumped in the ocean because of incomplete records. A 2001 Army report found 74 past instances of ocean disposal - 32 off U.S. shores and 42 off foreign coasts.
For example, in 1967 the Army dumped 4,577 one-ton containers of a mustard agent and 7,380 sarin rockets off the New Jersey shore, according to Army records.
Only some of the ocean dumps were mapped, and chemical munitions have been found in areas they weren't supposed to have been dumped, such as off Hawaii, said Craig Williams of the Chemical Weapons Working Group, a Kentucky-based organization.

Obama Extends Homeowner Help Program October 24 2011 President Barack Obama is pushing his "we can't wait" economic agenda. President Barack Obama today announced steps to help more homeowners with government-backed mortgages refinance their loans and take advantage of today's low interest rates. Politically, the housing initiative is the first salvo in the president's new "We Can't Wait" campaign, which Obama announced at a meeting with homeowners today in Las Vegas. The president will continue to press Congress to pass his jobs bill, even if it's only in pieces, but in the mean time, he will take executive actions where he can to get the economy moving again. "I'm here to say that we can't wait for an increasingly dysfunctional Congress to do its job," Obama said. "Where they won't act, I will." Housing is a good place to start since the collapse of the housing market led to the financial crisis and has continued to depress economic growth. The steps announced today by the Federal Housing Finance Agency will help save the typical homeowner who refinances about $2,500 a year--"equivalent to a substantial tax cut," said Shaun Donovan, secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Giving these homeowners more money to spend will boost the economy overall, he said. And a growing economy will boost jobs, which in turn, will boost the housing industry. The new program applies to homeowners whose loans are owned or guaranteed Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, the government-sponsored enterprises that are regulated by the FHFA. The agency's Home Affordable Refinance Program has helped about 900,000 homeowners who owe more than their home is worth to refinance their mortgages and get lower interest rates. Homeowners must be current on their mortgages to qualify for HARP. Obama administration officials worked with FHFA and mortgage industry officials to remove barriers that were keeping more Americans from using HARP. Under the new program: The program's 125 percent loan-to-value ceiling will be removed, making more homeowners who are underwater on their mortgages eligible for refinancing. • Costs associated with HARP refinancing will be reduced by eliminating certain fees for borrowers and the need for a new property appraisal in many cases. • Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have agreed to waive certain representations and warranties made by lenders on existing loans, which will make other lenders more willing to refinance these loans. This will lead to more competition for HARP refinancings, which should enable homeowners to get lower interest rates. • HARP will be extended until the end of 2013. FFHA expects the changes will result in 1 million or more additional HARP refinancings, but it cautions that this projection is "inherently uncertain." Hope Now, a mortgage industry alliance formed to help homeowners avoid foreclosure, praised the changes to the HARP program. "One of the biggest challenges in the current market is finding solutions for homeowners who aren't delinquent, but unable to refinance at a more sustainable interest rate due to being underwater on their mortgage," said Hope Now Executive Director Faith Schwartz. "The new plan now eliminates many of the barriers for homeowners trying to refinance." Obama administration officials concede this program addresses only one of the housing industry's many problems. "We are working on all fronts," said Gene Sperling, director of the president's National Economic Council.

Any of you php/javascript gurus fancy creating a Dot On calendar? The designers have created a great idea for a calendar format – please check in with them first of course.
I'm imagining a monthly calendar wall that you drag the dots onto and then label the event name, time etc. Might be a cool new UI for event management?

Apple Announces New Mac mini Computer and Server
The Mac mini has been a favorite of the minimalist crowd since its inception. For some, the idea of a complete desktop system squeezed into a case no bigger than an external DVD drive makes perfect sense, especially when office or desk space is at a premium. Today Apple announced new Mac minis that are sleeker, faster and more versatile than ever before. You can even get a Mac mini server.
It's hard to imagine making the Mac mini case any smaller than it already was, but Apple somehow did it. The Mac mini's newly designed aluminum unibody enclosure measures just 7.7 inches square by 1.4 inches high. And even though the case is smaller than the older one, Apple managed to fit the power supply electronics inside the case, eliminating the need for an external power adapter. It's easier to add more memory now, too, as a removable panel on the bottom of the case provides access to the memory modules.
An integrated NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor provides the new Mac mini with up to twice the graphics performance of older models. The system is also equipped with one HDMI port and one Mini DisplayPort. The HDMI port allows for quick and easy connection to a high-definition TV set, and an HDMI to DVI video adapter is included with the system. An SD card slot is also part of the package, although it's accessed from the back of the unit, which has the potential to be awkward.
The new Mac mini is no slouch when it comes to processing power. The system is built around a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB of memory, expandable up to 8GB. You also get a 320GB, 5400rpm SATA hard drive and a slot-load 8X SuperDrive DVD burner. Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, four USB 2.0 ports, and one FireWire 800 port round out the package. Even with all that technical goodness stuffed in, the new Mac mini consumes 25 percent less power than its predecessor.
The Mac mini comes with the OS X Snow Leopard operating system, along with iLife, a suite of applications that help you manage photos, make movies and create and play music. The iLife suite includes iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand. The new Mac mini costs $699.
You can do even more with the Mac mini if you get it loaded with Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server. In this case, the system comes with more powerful hardware, including a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4GB of memory, expandable to 8GB.
You don't have to look at the Mac mini Server too carefully to notice that it doesn't have an optical drive. Snow Leopard Server comes preinstalled, but you'll have to use an external DVD drive should you need one down the road. Instead of an optical drive, the Mac mini server features two 500GB 7200 rpm hard drives. All other hardware specifications are the same as the base model Mac mini.
With the Mac mini server, there are no per-user licensing fees, so you can add an unlimited number of Mac and PC users. That lets you expand your business with no further investments in the server. The server is ideal for use in retail environments, medical offices, law firms, schools, graphic design studios and so on. It supports e-mail and file sharing on Macs, PCs, iPhones and iPads. The Mac mini with Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server costs $999.

This is gonna make for one SICK car mod!
This thing rocks. I have a pretty typical LCD TV with 2 HDMI inputs. My cable box is plugged into one input, but the other is free. I would plug this new Mac Mini into the second HDMI input. Keep a bluetooth keyboard and a bluetooth mouse on the coffee table. When the programs cable has to offer start to get dull, just switch to the 2nd HDMI input on the remote, and boom! There's YouTube and anything else you want to check out on the web.
My DVD player just **** and I was looking at the WIFI blu-ray players so I could get to streaming movies (I am addicted to movies). Am I understanding correctly, that I could get the mini, hook up to the tv with the hdmi, and access my existing netflix, pandora, iPhoto, etc. And also be able to play regular DVD's?
Am I missing out on something by not getting a blu-ray player?

We're after the same thing! Like you, I also want to be able to access media from the Mac Mini's harddrive. Plus I'm about to buy a Network BluRay Player (probably Sony N460 or next model up but not sure yet). Since I don't want to use Ethernet cable to connect BD Player to internet (prefer to use my router for wireless connection to BD Player for Streaming Media), I'll have to purchase separately a USB wireless bridge gizmo (adds another $50-$80 to price) + possibly a USB flash drive so all BD features will work. With Sony's BD Players, Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, DailyMotion, Crackle, YouTube (& more) can be streamed thru Sony's Network BD Player to my HDTV &/or HD Monitor. I only know about Sony's BD Players so far, not other mfgrs. Also, I've only used Windows so all things Mac will be Brand New to me! Want to run both Mac OS & Win7 on the Mac Mini using VMWare.
QUESTIONS: Confused about how this new Mac Mini connects to Network BD Player (I know, NO BLURAY ON MAC MINI). 1st, must connect (or Pair) Network BD Player to my wireless router. Also, connect HDTV or HD Monitor to Network BD Player via HDMI cable. How to connect / integrate Mac Mini into this setup so I can access media from my HDD? And can I connect a Digital USB TV Tuner to this new Mac Mini OR do I have to buy an AppleTV unit?
Can anyone help me with this?

Tac Padilla: The son also rises
More News from Manolo R. Iñigo
HUMBLE and down-to-earth Nathaniel "Tac" Padilla belongs to a family of shooters. His past and present records will speak for themselves.
Over the weekend, the 48-year-old Padilla won three more shooting titles by topping the rapid fire, center fire and standard pistol events during the National Open shooting championships at the Marines range in Fort Bonifacio in Taguig City.
The general manager of the family-owned Spring Cooking Oil, Tac was barely 13 years old in 1978 when he broke into the national sporting scene by becoming world junior shooting champion in Mexico City.
From thereon, he has managed to keep his passion for marksmanship burning.
Tac's father, Mariano "Tom" Ong, is a two-time Olympic shooter (1972 Munich and 1976 Montreal) while a daughter, Mica Padilla, is fast following his papa's footsteps by stamping her class in her 20-year-old category. A brother, Donald, is also a shooting buff.
The young cooking oil executive, despite a busy schedule, regularly keeps in shape by finding time to exercise and hones up in his private shooting range in Malabon.
Now at the helm of the Philippine National Shooting Development program, Tac is keen on discovering and teaching the rudiments of the sport, in particular to the youth.
"Jayson (Valdez) and the other kids are the future of shooting," said Padilla, adding that he hopes to tap upcoming shooting phenoms. He has gifted Jayson with a new gun.
"We have to take advantage of these talented products. They need exposure and they must get it."
On Jayson, Tac said:, "A virtual neophyte in shooting, Jayson got his baptism of fire only two years ago. His first love was taekwondo, but his father, Julius Valdez, a three-time gold medalist in the 1987 SEA Games in Jakarta, encouraged his son to try shooting for a change. "
The PNSA is now headed by well-known sports and arts patron Mikee Romero.
In winning his three titles recently, Padilla stressed: "I really prepared hard for this tournament."
Tac tallied 550 points to beat Robert Donalvo (537) and Ronaldo Hejastro (533) in rapid fire; scored 546 to outclass Donalvo (536) and fellow Asian Gamer Carolino Gonzales (533) in center fire; and shot 541 to trim Hejastro (539) and Donalvo (537) in standard pistol.
He has also represented the country 17 times in the biennial Southeast Asian Games—the only athlete in the region to have achieved the feat.
Meanwhile, Valdez also stole the show by beating many-time SEA Games champion Emerito Concepcion in the air rifle event, scoring 588 to nip Concepcion (585) and Celdon Jude Arellano (583).

Outspoken Go Teng Kok, a fierce critic of two-time Philippine Olympic Committee president Jose "Peping" Cojuangco Jr., texted us this message, explaining why "nothing happens in sports."
"Cojuangco is spending the last four years not preparing for the Olympics, Asian Games, and SEA Games but preparing for reelection then transfer of power to his daughter Mikee. Pulitika talaga."

Tulsa Shooting Arraignment Likely to be Postponed
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Officials say that next week's arraignment for two men charged in a Tulsa shooting spree that left three people dead and two wounded will likely be postponed.
Jacob England and Alvin Watts are scheduled to be arraigned Monday on charges of first-degree murder and shooting with intent to kill in the April 6th shootings.
Tulsa County prosecutors have asked a judge to postpone the arraignment to give them more time to decide whether to seek the death penalty. A spokeswoman for the District Attorney's Office, Susan Witt, said Friday that the arraignment will likely be postponed because defense attorneys say they do not object.
A judge has not yet ruled on the request for the postponement.
