What you think about you bring about.
About me: I am a very happy and positive person. I love to laugh and I am very easily amused. I like to get things done, I love a routine, and accomplishing things I didn't think I could do. I giggle as much as I laugh. I am lucky to actually enjoy going to work each day. My friends and family are a huge part of my life and mean the world to me. I am pretty competitive because I played sports all my life. A simple game of mini golf can get pretty intense. I like to get dressed up in heels just as much as I like to dress down in my air max. I love to smile just as much as I love to make someone else smile. I don't like silence. I love to drink a hot mint green tea every single morning of my life! I love the sun shining. I love that I can convince myself that a decaf iced coffee at noon will give me energy and that peanut m&m's are good for me because they contain peanuts. Its all about positive thinking. Things I love: A good fluffy blanket, a hot drink on a cold day and a cold drink on a hot day, the beach, all four seasons-especially fall, music, listening to people genuinely laugh, decorating for holidays, holding the door for someone, working out, being active, going places, the zoo in the spring, Spanish tapas, some more music and laughing until my ab muscles are sore, old movies like uncle buck or overboard, dancing in my parents kitchen, my sisters, sending snail mail letters and old funny pictures to my friends, baking, a good pillow, coke zero, cantaloupe, and many more... You: I would love to meet someone who is happy with themselves first. Someone who is positive, outgoing, and likes to laugh. Someone who has control and direction over their life and job. I don't need anyone to take care of me but I want someone that wants to ( : I am looking for a best friend who will let me snuggle next to them, hold my hand, and be silly with me. I hope to find someone that can make me just as happy as I know i can make them.

A Good Laptop bag!A light weight and simple bag. The laptop compartment is well padded. The extra resistant bottom material works just the way as the name states. Separate compartment for keeping mobile, hdd, pen, etc. Can accommodate 2 to 3 A4 size notebooks and a pair of clothes alongwith a 15.6" laptop efficiently.

waste of moneyi recently purchased this bag from flipkart. it's just a waste of money. this bag doesn't provide value for money. i did mistake because i didn't checked the bag in local store first. We should check the item first in local store(if possible) before ordering online, and need to compare the price too. this bag quality doesn't deserve a price tag of Rs. 1999.00 INR.

Simple non stylish but durableI live in Kuwait and ordered this bag while i was down to India. Came in very quick and has a good base support for the 15.6 inch laptops. i would deduct one star for not being stylish enough compared to competitors in the same price bracket.

Bagpack reviewI bought this bag a couple of weeks ago. This is really decent bag. The key point is that it has lots of pockets so if you are a looking a multi-utility bag this is the one for you. The quality is decent. you can have a laptop along with a pair of jeans and shirt and some more. The carrying capacity is medium. Don't expect to put too much load into it. It has limited space. Quality is good. You will not repent. Looks wise its good as well. Thanks.

Audio Excerpt: "Spirit Junkie" by Gabrielle Bernstein
By Jesse Sposato
In writing the inspirational ŌĆ£Spirit Junkie: A Radical Road to Self-Love and Miracles,ŌĆØ Gabrielle Bernstein is well aware of the mass appeal of a good spiritual transformation story. In her early twenties, Bernstein was a typical Manhattan party girl -- she looked to men, nightlife, drugs, and material possessions to make her happy. She ran a public relations firm and buried herself in work to avoid facing feelings of deep dissatisfaction. Then in 2005, she hit rock bottom was forced to shift gears and seek a healthier lifestyle.
ThatŌĆÖs when BernsteinŌĆÖs love affair began -- not with a man, but with ŌĆ£A Course in Miracles,ŌĆØ a self-study curriculum that focuses on forgiveness in daily life.┬Ā┬ĀIt was the spiritual activist and author Marianne Williamson who introduced Bernstein to ŌĆ£the CourseŌĆØ and eventually became her guru, as well. Helping to carry WilliamsonŌĆÖs message into the twenty-first century, Bernstein writes: ŌĆ£The more I committed to this new belief system, the less I replayed my past in the present. In time I began to release those fears and witness miraculous changes. This realization was revelatory in that IŌĆÖd awakened to the fact that if I stuck to the CourseŌĆÖs plan I could truly relinquish my fearful patterns.ŌĆØ
Although she preaches the CourseŌĆÖs unparalleled benefits, the potential for criticism of its jargon is not lost on Bernstein. She warns readers of this from the outset and promises to ŌĆ£GabbifyŌĆØ her own language in relating its core teachings. She does that by coining words like ŌĆ£~ing,ŌĆØ which stands for inner guidance (as in, ŌĆ£Add More ~Ing To Your Life," the title of her previous book). Hokey or not, itŌĆÖs clear that ŌĆ£A Course in MiraclesŌĆØ changed BernsteinŌĆÖs life for the better: ŌĆ£What mattered most was the guidance the Course had to offer me at a time when I needed it most.ŌĆØ Now a successful motivational speaker, life coach, and author, Gabrielle Bernstein emanates positive vibes and self-love on every page of ŌĆ£Spirit Junkie.ŌĆØ Listen to the clip below to learn about the start of her journey to a healthy life.

How can you nicely ask a girl her bra size?
I've been thinking about this girl, she's one of my best friends and I want to know how to ask her boob size without being gross. Please help
Most Helpful Opinion
Let me ask you a question...
Why do you want to know her bra size? Are you using it to compare or rate her? I hope you aren't one of those guys that uses these kind of physical numbers to critique a gal. Personally, I think that unless you are buying her lingerie (while dating) or in an intimate situation with her, you should never ask a girl her bra size. There are a few girls that like to boast it aloud but usually they are looking for more than the average attention (and they are more than likely a nice handful).
If you found out that she was a 34A, would you not be interested any longer? If you found out she was a 34D would you like her more? Is it about bragging rights for your "bros" to talk about? If you like her boobs without knowing her digits - then leave it at that. Going further to get a level grading of them is pretty rude and gives me an impression that you are looking for a trophy to show off and have the right bra label to back up your trophy stats.
By the way, a lot of girls would be offended (depending on how well a friend you are or if she is into you) to know that a guy has been wondering so much about something physical like her bra size. Why don't you guess her shoe size and tell all your guy friends about that?
What if I can tell her bra size, since I used to work in women business
What Girls Said 10
That's really funny. A guy I like (a friend of mine) and I were in this cafe and they had their "cup sizes" (like beverage cups) as A for small, B for medium, C for large etc. I made a comment about this because I thought it was kinda funny and then my friend just casually asked me what size I was and I told him. I was actually kinda flattered that he noticed.I'm personally not ashamed of my small-ish bra size but I could understand how it would feel weird to ask. It would be like me asking a guy his penis size.
What's your bra size
What Guys Said 8
The answer to this is simple: DON'T EVEN ASK!
Men are born with the ability to peel women's clothes off with our eyeballs. How else do you think we came about with computer graphics? If you have been around enough women, you can tell their bra size with asking. This also is quite similar with judging a woman's age without asking. With my life experiences in 38 years on this hellish world, I can correctly judge nearly any woman's 3 sizes and her age. This is a darn good skill in avoiding those girls who look like 24, act like 34 but they are really 15.
Do you want her to think that you're the bigger boob? :)
Not sure why you would need to know but you can either ask another female friend for advise as they ought to be able to guesstimate or with time, and exposure to other women, you'll be able to accurate guess their size on your own. You just require a lot of practice and I mean the hands on variety and not by studying the Sears or Victoria Secret catalog.
In this day and age, most women will probably tell you how big their boobs are. How can you get them to do that? Simple. Women want an honest and confident man, so the best approach would probably be to... well... JUST ASK. Of course, it would definitely help if she felt comfortable enough with you, but their are exceptions to that rule (If she's comfortable in her own skin, she might just tell you.). Seriously though- Act like it's not a big deal because a woman can sense a lack of confidence in a guy. I know this sounds weird, but it's true. Think of it like this- When you were growing up, your parents would ask, "How was school today?" and you would probably tell them, right? Of course, they would probably ask during dinnertime, so you would be relaxed enough to tell them the truth. Women are VERY similar. After all, if you just walk up and say something like, "Hey Baby! How big are your titties?", they will freak out (and possibly mace you), but if you approach her with a confident attitude and have an intelligent conversation with her, she'll feel comfortable with you. How do you et to that point? Simple. Talk about the TWO things that women think about most- Clothes and Shopping. Start by talking about a less risqué topic, such as funny T-Shirts. Then, slowly increase the sexual tension by talking about slightly more intimate, but still socially appropriate things, such as how hard it must be to find a decent bra with the vastly different sizing schemes. Then, lay on some humor. Say something like, "I can imagine that you owe the clothing store a LOT of money for those bras you probably busted while trying them on.". When she laughs at your funny joke, say "What's your bra size anyways?". All in all, I have found that this is the approach that works best for me, so I'm not going to guarantee anything. You should find what approach works best for you. Good luck.
Okay, I have done this before without ANY negative reaction. This is how you do it.
First you have to look at them from the side. The bust size is like waist size. The further off the chest, the higher the letter from smallest (A) to largest (DD or even F's - yes there is such thing). To get the gist, think of it like this.
Golf ball - Plum (small to large A)
Peach to Baseball (small to large B)
regular Apple to big Orange (small to large C)
Grapefruit to cantelope (small to large D)
Anything larger (DD to F)
Now that you've got the gist, look at your friend and get an estimate.
Then you say the following:
"Hey {her name} what's up!? So I'm trying to put a Britney Spears Halloween costume together and I want to buy a bra but I have no clue what size I would be. Can you come and pick one out for me? Do you think a 34B would fit me? I have no idea. You're what like a 34 {{{one letter higher than your estimate}}} right? "
The key is to ALWAYS estimate LARGER than she is so she can CORRECT you.
If she says YES then BINGO, you know. If she says NO, then she'll correct you. If she doesn't correct you then just say "well what are you? "
If she doesn't tell you, then say "well can I borrow one of your bras? " and BINGO you'll get the size.
if she says no, you say "well how bout you pick one out, I'll buy it, and when I'm done with it, you can have it! "
If she STILL says no. She probably is self-conscious about her body and might not want you knowing. Then you're screwed and the only way to find out is to sneak into her room at night while she sleeps and find out for yourself (JUST KIDDING. BAD. Don't do that. NO! ).
Good luck skippy. And let me know how it goes
Haha, I like this approach! The only thing I'd add is you should guess larger on cup size but not band size. So, if you guess she's a 34B, ask if she's a 34C, not 36C. The number measures the rib cage size, and she might think you're calling her fat!
It'd be so obvious he just wanted to know my size if he asked me that! But if at the same time he was as funny as you come off of this post, I'd let it slide :)
Have an opinion?

This way, you would be holding the camera right side up, keeping most of the stress on the original location but giving you extra support from the bottom. I think it would more secure that way.
Genius. Do that with a Rolleifix for easier film loading and it is even more genius!

Great Labeling product!

I used this to identify all the drawers containing my vast collection of cookie cutters by themes such as various holidays, occasions, etc. Also drawers containing cookie decorations, food colorings, etc. So much easier now that I don't have to go drawer to drawer looking for a specific item.

Why a reboot was necessary (IMHO)
View Single Post
June 14 2013, 05:41 AM

Re: Why a reboot was necessary (IMHO)
I absolutely agree that Trek needed a reboot, even for those of us that loved the other series back in their day. To me, Trek, in its original core, was about adventure and leaping into the unknown, excitement, danger as Kirk and crew faced new adventures ... a western-style frontier adventure, with the bizarreness of a sci-fi Twilight Zone episode thrown in from time to time, something I felt got lost in the later Treks - I actually loved the first two seasons of TNG, because they still had that "out there, bizarre adventures" feel to them - remember when Q made Riker a Q, and had the crew fight "pig men" dressed in French Revolutionary outfits on a contructed world? Loved that bizarre stuff!
Trek had lost some of that "adventure" element over time ... it became about politics, and diplomatic negotiations that get interrupted, or studying quasars, or preventing a war through impassioned speeches ... all of which were important elements of TOS, but they weren't the core focus, in my opinion - the focus was on exploring, and bizarre or unusual sci-fi adventures! This new movie manages to touch on some of those relevent themes that make us think, but never slows down its pace to lose us as an audience wanting a good adventure like the original series ... these two films have highly entertained me ... I'm excited again to watch Trek for the first time in almost 15 years! Sure, there are plot holes, but I like the action-adventure feel of new Trek, while still holding onto the roots (exploring a new world, Prime Directive debates while running for their lives, etc) - the "fun" in Trek is back!

Texan living in California, looking to meet new people:)
My name is Leah. I moved from my home state of Texas to Bakersfield about 2 years ago. I look forward to meeting someone who is truly genuine and fun to be around. I try my best to live a godly life, but by no means do i think i am perfect. I hope to find a guy who will bring out the best in me, and someone who has a good heart. I have to be physically attracted to someone, but personality means a lot more to me than looks. True beauty or handsomeness definitely comes from the inside. I'll throw a wink, but after that i let the guy be the pursuer....i'm the more traditional type:) I'm a very caring person and love to make others happy. I love to laugh and just have a good time. I have so much to be thankful for and just want to find someone who is optimistic about life in general. I love my family and friends. I'm outgoing and enjoy meeting new people. I love to go to new places and experience new things, but am content with watching a movie while eating take out at home. It's the little things that count and it doesn't take much for me to smile.

Celebrated novelist Justin Torres is a highlight of the free evening readings and presentations
Thursday, June 13, 2013
The evening readings include faculty readings, a film, a collaboration of poetry and musical accompaniment, and a June 24 visit by the highly celebrated novelist Justin Torres, author of the exquisite and blistering "We the Animals." Named one of Salon's "Sexiest Men of 2011," Torres received the Rolón United States Artist Fellowship in Literature, and is a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford.
The program also welcomes acclaimed Young Adult novelist Sara Zarr to the Writing for Young People faculty. Another featured event of the series, on Wednesday, June 27, will include poetry by Thomas Sayers Ellis accompanied by saxophonist James Brandon Lewis.
The readings are presented by Lesley's Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences' acclaimed Master of Fine Arts (MFA) Program in Creative Writing, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Steven Cramer, Associate Professor of Creative Writing and Director of the MFA in Creative Writing, organizes the summer series.
Cramer, a distinguished poet, is the recipient of the L.A. Times Book Prize Nomination, a Massachusetts Honor Book Citation, the Sheila Motton Prize from the New England Poetry Club, a Massachusetts Artists Foundation Fellowship, and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship.
"Lesley's MFA in Creative Writing began with twenty-two students in 2003, growing over the last ten years to over 100 current students, 300 alumni and 30 faculty," Cramer says of the program. "We are now a durable part of the Boston/Cambridge literary landscape, and our faculty and alumni regularly contribute to the national wealth of contemporary writing."
The program has recently been named one of the Top Ten Low-Residency Programs by Poets & Writers magazine. Five years ago, the successful Writing for Stage and Screen track was added. In all five of the program's genres—fiction, nonfiction, poetry, stage and screen, and writing for young people—students attend two intensive residencies on campus per year, participate in one-on-one distance learning during semesters, and are offered what Cramer calls "online office hours" that provide much individual attention. The residencies build lifelong artistic communities among students and faculty. As part of Lesley's commitment to community engagement, the MFA program invites the public to attend evening readings and presentations from visiting authors, Lesley faculty, and graduating students.
The readings will take place in Lesley University's Marran Theater, 34 Mellen Street, Cambridge, Mass.
7:15—Reading/Presentation: Screening of film written by Barry Brodsky, writing for stage and screen; Sara Zarr, writing for young people
SATURDAY, JUNE 227:00—Reading: Kyoko Mori, fiction and nonfiction; Pamela Petro, nonfiction

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 10/31/12
Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams returns to Houston on Sunday to face the Texans butsays he never wanted to go elsewhere. Williams, the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft by the Texans in 2006, accepted a six-year, $100 million contract offer from the Bills during the offseason when he became a free agent. The Texans refused to use a franchise tag that would have cost them $20 million for one season to keep him. "I didn't want to enter free agency in the first place, but it was a one-way door given to me to leave Houston," Williams told KRIV-TV. "I want the fans there to know entering free agency was not my decision." Williams hasn't performed up to expectations so far this season for the Bills (3-4). He has 3 1/2 sacks in seven games. The Texans are 6-1 without Williams. "I'm definitely excited about coming back to the place where it all began," said Williams, who has 56 1/2 career sacks. "The way things ended, I definitely feel like it was kind of a rough and all-...

ACC Coastal recruiting breakdown
Originally Published: January 18, 2010By Tom Luginbill | Scouts Inc.
From top to bottom, this side of the ACC, in our opinion, has a leg up in terms of team speed and overall athleticism. The question is which one of the top four -- Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Miami and North Carolina -- will take their game to another level and not only compete for the ACC crown, but also dispel the myth that the ACC isn't up to task when it comes to competing for the BCS title.
The teams in the ACC Coastal are very young and thus do not have a ton of large classes, which ...

Publisher: General Books LLCBinding: PaperbackPages: 118Size: 6.00" wide x 9.00" long x 0.28" tall Weight: 0.418Language: English
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 24. Chapters: Gaius Valerius Flaccus (consul), Lucius Valerius Claudius Acilius Priscillianus Maximus, Lucius Valerius Claudius Poplicola Balbinus Maximus, Lucius Valerius Flaccus, Lucius Valerius Flaccus (consul 195 BC), Lucius Valerius Flaccus (consul 261 BC), Lucius Valerius Flaccus (princeps senatus 86 BC), Lucius Valerius Flaccus (suffect consul 86 BC), Lucius Valerius Messalla Apollinaris, Lucius Valerius Messalla Thrasea Priscus, Lucius Valerius Potitus, Lucius Valerius Septimius Bassus, Manius Valerius Maximus Corvinus Messalla, Marcus Valerius Corvus, Marcus Valerius Messala Corvinus (consul 58), Marcus Valerius Messalla (consul 161 BC), Marcus Valerius Messalla (consul 188 BC), Marcus Valerius Messalla (consul 226 BC), Marcus Valerius Messalla Barbatus, Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus, Marcus Valerius Messalla Messallinus, Marcus Valerius Messalla Niger, Marcus Valerius Messalla Rufus, Marcus Valerius Volusus, Messalla (Consul 280), Publius Valerius Laevinus, Publius Valerius Publicola, Valeria Messalina, Valerius Adelphius Bassus, Valerius Maximus (consul 327), Valerius Maximus Basilius, Valerius Maximus Basilius (urban prefect 319), Volesus. Excerpt: Gaius Valerius Flaccus (fl. early 1st century BC) was a consul of the Roman Republic in 93 BC and a provincial governor in the late-90s and throughout the 80s. He is notable for his balanced stance during the Sullan civil wars, the longevity of his term as governor, and his efforts to extend citizenship to non-Romans. Valerius Flaccus was praetor sometime before 95 BC, most probably in 96. An inscription from Claros indicates that following his praetorship and before 95 he held a promagisterial command in the Roman province of Asia. Both he and his brother Lucius, who was a governor of Asia in the late 90s and again for 85, are honored as patrons of the city of Colophon in Lydia. The two are the first Roman governors known to be addressed as patrons of a free city, a practice that became common in the 60s BC. Flaccus may have been a candidate for the consulship of 94, losing to the novus homo C. Coelius Caldus, who is said to have run against two highly distinguished nobiles and beaten one of them. It was not unusual for a defeated candidate to run again the following year, often with success. The colleague of Flaccus in the consulship of 93 was M. Herennius. In 96, while praetor urbanus, Valerius Flaccus sponsored legislation to grant citizenship to Calliphana of Velia, a priestess of Ceres. Julius Caesar, in his account of the Gallic Wars, identifies the Helvian Celt Caburus as another recipient of citizenship from Flaccus, during his time as governor of Gallia Transalpina. Caburus followed custom in assuming his patron's gentilic name Gaius Valerius. This interest in expanding citizenship may be viewed in the context of the family's moderate popularism and their relations with social inferiors; E. Badian has pointed out that the Valerii Flacci "were given to taking up new men and families: inscriptions (Inschr. V. Magn. 144f.) reveal a policy of low-class connections." Flaccus succeeded Titus Didius as proconsul of Hispania Citerior in 92, and assumed his post be

Jake and the fatman
Tony Thompson was always going to be a step to far considering Price only had 15 fights to his name but to fight him again was almost career suicide. I hope the sports psychiatrist was able to sort his head out. IMO he needs to keep active and get some rounds under his belt and gain some experience so the next time he starts getting hit hard he won't look light a deer in the headlights. He should put any thoughts of a title fight on hold for the next 18-24 monthsPosted January 25, 2014 12:47 pm
price needs to take a leaf out of david haye"s book and get straight on the peds.Posted January 25, 2014 11:21 am
Fight Aficionado
Failed medical for what reason?Posted January 25, 2014 4:07 am
he looks like a 6″8 monster. He will do finePosted January 25, 2014 3:25 am
and the klitschkos are robots?Posted January 25, 2014 3:05 am
Price looks terrible…
He needs a strength trainer, a nutritionist, and judging from his last 2 fights he also needs a boxing coach. He looks beat down mentally or something like he threw a party and nobody showed up.
He doesn't look fat. He looks weak, tired, and slow. Like he could move with the speed of a snail. 90% of Boxing is mental and he doesn't look happy and excited to be there.Posted January 24, 2014 8:05 pm
price should fight towers after this one.Posted January 24, 2014 7:57 pm
and do what I do best……like the legless giraffe kissing the canvas impression……Posted January 24, 2014 3:48 pm
Once Wladimir some nerve he might think about finally getting into the ring with Price. However I doubt it. Price punches harder than Tyson moves better than Lewis and has a better chin than Liston. He is the man to make HW boxing world famous again. Just look at that physique and that face which says I mean business. In all fairness [rice was never going to be anything too special in terms of PPV. However fit it looks he always looks like he's just eaten a bag of chips. Totally wrong 'type' of look for marquee value.Posted January 24, 2014 3:09 pm
Tough one for David the Robot Price!Posted January 24, 2014 2:25 pm

Later this year, Ultima Online will turn 18 years old. In the genre of MMOs, that makes the game positively ancient - and it's even more remarkable when you consider that it's still funded via a subscription model.
I've never played an Ultima game, much less one that's nearly my age. I wanted to find out what the game is like to play today as a newcomer, and to ask people why they've continued visiting Britannia for nearly two decades.
I have little to no interest in MMOs, but seeing one of them run for this long is fascinating.
A recent draft of the Trans-Pacific Partnership free-trade deal would give U.S. pharmaceutical firms unprecedented protections against competition from cheaper generic drugs, possibly transcending the patent protections in U.S. law.
This article focuses on pharmaceuticals, but just imagine what similar restrictions would mean for technology. This is disastrous.
Set backstage at three iconic product launches and ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac, Steve Jobs takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution to paint an intimate portrait of the brilliant man at its epicenter.
Judging by this trailer, Apple and its bloggers are not going to like this film. It doesn't exactly paint Jobs in a pretty light.
You the indie developer could become the next Flexibits. Could. But almost certainly not. Okay - not.
What's more likely is that you'll find yourself working on a Mobile Experience for a Big National Brand(tm) and doing the apps you want to write in your spare time.
If there's a way out of despair, it's in changing our expectations.
John Gruber, referencing Simmons' article:
There is so much that could and should and will be said about this. But the bottom line is that indie development for iOS and the App Store just hasn't worked out the way we thought it would. We thought - and hoped - it would be like the indie Mac app market, only bigger. But it's not like that at all.
I've been saying this for years. I'm glad the rest of the world is catching up.
Speaking of Apple:
Apple today released OS X Yosemite 10.10.4, an under-the-hood update that introduces several bug fixes and performance improvements. Most notably, 10.10.4 includes the removal of the problematic Discoveryd process, which has caused multiple networking issues for some users in OS X Yosemite.
I'm curious to see if this will solve the reconnect-on-wake issues my retina MacBook Pro has. In addition, Apple also released iOS 8.4, which includes a radio station, in case you're sick of listening to the music you want without some random dude blabbering through your songs.
In late March a handful of the western world's best-known iPhone hackers were flown business class to Beijing. They were put up in the five-star Park Hyatt and given a tour of the sites; the Great Wall, the Forbidden City. "They kept referring to us as 'great gods'. I'm guessing it just translates to 'famous person', but we couldn't contain our giggles every time the translators said it," says Joshua Hill, a 30-year-old from Atlanta who was one of the chosen few.
It was a bizarre trip hosted by an equally bizarre and secretive entity called TaiG (pronounced "tie-gee"), which flew the hackers to China to share techniques and tricks to slice through the defences of Apple's mobile operating system in front of an eager conference-hall crowd. Why such interest and why such aggrandisement of iOS researchers? In the last two years, jailbreaking an iPhone - the act of removing iOS' restrictions against installing unauthorized apps, app stores and other features by exploiting Apple security - has become serious business in China. From Alibaba to Baidu, China's biggest companies are supporting and even funding the practice, unfazed at the prospect of peeving Apple, which has sought to stamp out jailbreaking ever since it became a craze in the late 2000s.
I had no idea jailbreaking iOS was this popular in China.
At this point, we in the web community need to come to terms with the fact that Safari has become the new IE. Microsoft is repentant these days, Google is pushing the web as far as it can go, and Mozilla is still being Mozilla. Apple is really the one singer in that barbershop quartet hitting all the sour notes, and it's time we start talking about it openly instead of tiptoeing around it like we're going to hurt somebody's feelings. Apple is the most valuable company in the world; they can afford to take a few punches.
The Apple Watch has been out for over two months now, and other modern smartwatches well before that. It's no longer the stuff of sci-fi to consider using your watch to play music, control your TV, or track your fitness. But these are all things that you've been able to do for a surprisingly long time - well, if you maybe lived in Japan in the '90s and didn't mind carrying around a bunch of Casio watches, that is.
I already highlighted several of these Casio classics in my Moto 360 review, but The Verge does a nice job of listing them with beautiful photos.
On Monday, the Supreme Court opted not to review a 2014 ruling on copyright law that held Google's Android operating system infringed copyrights relating to Oracle's Java platform. This is a disaster for the software industry.
Here's the problem: the digital economy depends on gadgets and software being able to communicate seamlessly. Last year's decision by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals opened the possibility that efforts to make software work together better could trigger copyright liability. The result could be more compatibility problems and less innovation.
The most disgusting and most despicable lawsuit in technology. Oracle is a horrible, horrible company.
Researchers have shown that machines are inching closer to self-learning, and perhaps even copping a little attitude.
Over at Google, a computer program using a database of movie scripts was asked again and again by researchers to define morality. It struggles to do so, and in a conversation recorded by its human engineers, becomes exasperated and ends the conversation by lashing out at its human inquisitor.
Eerie. The full paper is more interesting.
Every year we see the same promise: this is the year that Android-first development will become a reality. At the same time we see big companies like Instagram repeatedly introduce new apps that are iOS-only. Android has been able to tout more market share than iOS for quite some time, but that doesn't seem to have translated into app developers releasing Android apps at the same time as their iOS counterparts, much less Android-first. Over the past few weeks I've been talking with developers and researching why this is still the case.
A major reason not discussed in this article: the large companies - Twitter, Facebook, etc. - as well as the major technology press outlets, are all US-based, and clearly have a very US-centric view of the world (or maybe at the very least an Anglo-Saxon view). In the US, iOS and Android both sit at around ~45% market share, so it makes sense that developers working for these companies focus on iOS more than on Android, simply because iOS development tends to be an easier experience (I'm simply echoing what I hear from developers on both sides of the aisle). The same applies to the technology press.
Outside of the English-speaking countries, however, Android reigns supreme. If these companies had a more world-centric view, their Android efforts would surely improve - because as it stands right now, most major companies' Android applications lag behind their iOS counterparts considerably. Over here in The Netherlands, though, every major new local application - banks, brands, stores, etc. - are always iOS+Android on day one.
It'd be great if American companies finally started getting their acts together too. Don't assume that veteran iOS developers are automatically also good Android developers (they're not), and hire real, proper Android developers. I translate English to Dutch, and my clients would never ask me to translate, I don't know, Spanish documents into Dutch. Small indie Android developers have proven that, even if it may be a little harder, it's perfectly possible to create Android applications that are just as good as, and often even better, than their iOS counterparts.
In 2015, there's no excuse for releasing lousy, crappy Android applications. You only have yourself to blame.
Who would spend more than the cost of a PS4 on a video game console that only plays NES games? Well, who would spend thousands of dollars on a digital camera that can't autofocus? Leica shooters, of course, and people of similar persuasion might just be interested in the Analogue Nt for their gaming needs. The Nt is a modern Nintendo Entertainment System hewn from a solid block of aluminum, and retails for $499 (plus an extra $79 if you want HDMI output and hardware upscaling.)
Beautiful piece of hardware - and I love the fact that there might be a market for this. There are way more sensible options, of course, but none of them look this good.
The Clear Linux Project for Intel Architecture is a project that is building a Linux OS distribution for various cloud use cases. The goal of Clear Linux OS is to showcase the best of Intel Architecture technology, from low-level kernel features to more complex items that span across the entire operating system stack.
Don't dismiss it - Intel is doing a lot of interesting under-the-hood stuff with this one.
If you've been watching the news recently, you'll know of the huge debate in the U.S over the role of the Confederate flag in contemporary America. Many see it as a reminder of the many pre-Civil War injustices while others see it simply as a way to honor the soldiers who died for the Confederacy. Many large US companies, like Walmart and Amazon, have already banned the sale of any Confederate flag merchandise as a reaction to the recent events. Now, it appears that Apple has decided to join them by pulling many Civil War wargames from the App Store. As of the writing of this story, games like Ultimate General: Gettysburg and all the Hunted Cow Civil War games are nowhere to be found. Apple is famous for reaching for the axe rather than the scalpel when it comes to political issues (like rejecting Hunted Cow's Tank Battle 1942 for depicting Germans and Russians as enemies), so this move doesn't come as a great surprise.
While it's obvious that the Confederate flag has no place in, on, or around government buildings, it seems a bit insane to ban games (movies? Books? Comics?) that take place in the US Civil War era for showing the flag.
On a sidenote - three Apple stories in a row? What's happening?
For a long time, iOS apps have been able to open links as web views. When you tap a link in a Twitter client, an RSS reader, or a bookmark utility, it usually opens in a mini browser that doesn't leave the app, providing you with the convenience of not having to switch between Safari and the app. For years, in spite of some security concerns, this worked well and became the de-facto standard among third-party iOS apps.
With iOS 9, Apple wants this to change - and they're bringing the power of Safari to any app that wants to take advantage of it.
I took a little time out today to watch WWDC Session 511 to learn about how Safari Content Blocking will work in iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan. After an hour, I had a little concept app running. I wont really explain the technical details of how the extensions work or how to create them, that is better done by watching the WWDC Session video directly, but I will say its frightfully easy and the code I used for the blocker detailed below is at the bottom of this page.
I'm not complaining.
It is showing hidden files (that have names starting with a dot) when invoked by root and doesn't show them (as expected) when running as a normal user. This differs from what ls on Linux (the one coming from coreutils) does.
Very interesting answer. I love stuff like this.
If you pay close enough attention to these things, you've probably seen Google Play Services updating from time to time on your Android devices. If you follow the more technical side of Android, you'll know it was announced a couple of years ago to introduce new APIs and features in a way that doesn't require a firmware update. You could be forgiven for dismissing it as a dry and technical part of the OS, but in reality it's a crucially important part of the way modern Android works.
Play Services is a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because it makes the lives of developers easier and because it bypasses incompetent carriers and OEMs so that users get considerable updates. It's a curse because they're closed source - making it impossible to dig into the code. They make your device less your device, and that's always a bad thing, especially in today's world.
So much of this could be addressed if Google opened up as much of it, but that's very unlikely to happen.
On my home forum Sysnative, a user (wavly) was being assisted with a WU issue, which was going well, aside from the fact that wavly's WU kept getting disabled randomly. It was figured out eventually after using auditpol.exe and registry security auditing that the program that was responsible for disabling WU was Disable_Windowsupdate.exe, which is part of Samsung's SW Update software.
SW Update is your typical OEM updating software that will update your Samsung drivers, the bloatware that came on your Samsung machine, etc. The only difference between other OEM updating software is, Samsung's disables WU.
No matter how much work Microsoft puts into cleaning up Windows, crappy OEMs like Samsung will undo all their work.
How about that line of Surface laptops and desktops, Microsoft?
Over in Europe, things work a little differently. The carrier model still dominates, but it's just as easy to pick up unlocked, unbranded versions of Android phones big and small that work on just about any local operator (and often many not-so-local ones.)
Nice overview of the situation in Europe, but to be honest, I haven't seen any carrier-specific models in The Netherlands in years. In fact, at least on my carrier, you can unlock your phone the moment you get it (a low fee may be charged), and after 12 months, the unlock process is always free (at least for T-Mobile - I'm guessing the same applies to the other two carriers).
You can buy unlocked phones from major stores - both online and offline - everywhere, and nobody bats an eye. In fact, in the first quarter of 2014, almost half of all 'mobile connections' were SIM-only - i.e., the mobile phone contract is just the SIM card, without any "free" phone. When you do the maths, clever shopping for a SIM-only contract and an unlocked phone can be hundreds of euros cheaper in the total running time of the contract than going the traditional contract+phone route.
Coincidentally, I'm pretty sure this explains why Android is so popular here. You can get unlocked Android flagship-quality phones or last year's flagships for a few hundreds euros, whereas unlocked iPhones are two to three times as expensive. When you give consumers an honest breakdown of what a contract+phone really costs, most people will opt to save hundreds of euros.

de l'Orangerie, Tuileries gardens, Paris
right in the heart of Paris in the Tuileries Gardens and renovated in
2006, the Musée de l'Orangerie offers the visitor a poetic and artistic
presentation of two prestigious collections.
Water Lilies (Les
monumental and intimate, Water Lilies (Les Nymphéas) are the ultimate
expression of Claude Monet's artistic ideas, an incredible project by a
painter who wanted to explore all the variations of light in his garden
at Giverny. The paintings are housed in two elliptical rooms, and
encourage the visitor to gaze in endless contemplation. After the
horror of the First World War, Monet wanted his work to take on this
aesthetic and poetic dimension, and provide a haven for peaceful

The Walter-Guillaume Collection
Walter-Guillaume Collection, the intellectual project of art dealer
Paul Guillaume and his wife Domenica, is a unique collection
illustrating the creative work of the first decades of the 20th
century. A friend of Guillaume Apollinaire and Max Jacob, he provided
support to Picasso, Soutine, Derain and Marie Laurencin as well as
taking an interest in their predecessors, particularly Renoir and
Cézanne. Guillaume's premature death in 1934 prevented his dream of
transforming his private collection into a museum of modern art
from being realised. His wife completed and modified the collection,
reorganising it around works representing modern Classicism and
Impressionism, before transmitting it to the French State in 1960.

Adolfo Wildt (1868-1931)15 April - 13 July 2015
Italian sculptor close to the Liberty style and Symbolism, contrived to
devise a language in which expressionism combines with reminiscences of
ancient and Renaissance art as well as neo-Gothic art, striking an
unusual balance between the expressive power of the modeling and the

Foreign to the world of the avant-gardes, Wildt met with mixed critical
acclaim, both because of the subject matter of his sometimes obscure
works, and on account of his formal choices, viewed as being eccentric.
His sensitivity made him the interpreter of a "tired, anxious,
credulous and inquisitive age" (Ugo Ojetti).
Organized jointly with the Cassa dei Risparmi di Forli Foundation, this
outstanding exhibition presents for the first time in France sculptures
and drawings by one of the most refined and cultivated artists of the
twentieth century.
