What's New
Wifi Jumper
Instead contact us on insomnia(at)gosar.de. The rating is useless for feedback as it provides no email address for us to contact you for details about feature request etc.
Stay connected to the strongest available WIFI, including unknown, but unsecured networks. That's the main task of Wifi Jumper!
The complete feature list:
- Automatically connect to the strongest available WIFI (scaninterval configurable)
- Even unknown, but unsecured networks can be used automatically (configurable)
- Messages and icons in status bar (configurable)
- Autostart after boot (configurable)
- Optional: create Wifi Zones based on one or more Radio Cells to automatically start and stop Wifi Hardware.
- Automatically adds new Radio Cells to known Wifi Zones while connected to WIFI
- Show Zone on Map (if Google Maps is installed)
- Optional: define "Airplane Mode Timezones" with the "Airplane Mode Scheduler" to automatically start/stop airplane mode (DOES NOT WORK WITH ANDROID >= 4.2 !!!)
- Saves an high amount of energy if all features are used
- Easy to use
- Multilingual (german, english)
Known limitiations:
- no support for custom roms!
- wifi zones work only on devices with telephony features
- Due to new restrictions by Google, the airplane mode scheduler is not working with android >= 4.2
Wifi Jumper automatically connects your device to the strongest available known WIFI network. Unknown, but unsecured networks are also supported to be connected to. Additionally, one can define "WIFI Zones" based on the current radiocell, in which your WIFI hardware will automatically be activated.
Leaving a Wifi Zone, Wifi Jumper will turn off WIFI hardware and saves energy. New cell-Ids for already defined Wifi Zones are added automatically while connected to a known WIFI.
In order to save even more energy, you are able to define timezones in which the airplanemode will be automatically (de-)activated. The advantages are not limited to energy saving: no radiation and disturbance while sleeping. Wifi Jumper is the perfect solution for many minor issues, but in only one app.
Note: Wifi Jumper uses android functionality that didn't support App2SD. We strongly recommend to make no use of App2SD!
Wifi Jumper needs the following permissions (reason):
- Location (determine position of WIFI Location on a map)
- Telephony (gather system-id)
- System utilities (autostart, airplanemode start/stop, WIFI start/stop)
- Networking (license check, scan for networks und status)
Note: Please give us a chance to improve Wifi Jumper. Let us know about any bad experiences and problems with Wifi Jumper before leaving any bad comments. We work hard to fix any issues reported by our customers. Thank you very much!

Lost Phone Found, With Find My Lost Phone
Find My Android Phone makes it easy to pinpoint the location of a missing phone whether it's a smart phone or a feature phone.

For lost feature phones, the app accurately pinpoints the phone's location via "triangulation," just like they do on the television programs "CSI" and "Law and Order"! Essentially, cell phone companies know a mobile device's distance from cell phone towers. Find My Android Phone secures this data from cell phone companies and displays the phone's whereabouts on the app's map. From there, it's easy for you to retrieve the lost feature phone.

In the event a family member is not reachable, you can also locate the lost or stolen phone via our website. Once you've installed the app on your iPhone, Android or Windows Phone, just log into our website. You'll see a map showing the location of your lost phone. The map also features directions to the device's exact location. Another key feature is real-time updates on both the app's map and our website. These maps are instantly updated whenever the phone moves.
Find My Android Phone Can Find A Stolen Phone.
Nothing is more worrisome and upsetting than a stolen phone. Thankfully, Find My Android Phone includes a navigational setting that, as long as the location app is running, tracks the whereabouts of a stolen phone and guides you (or better yet, law enforcement) to its exact location, quickly and easily.

AndroidLost Client
The application will, in fact, shows the sms command you want, and if you wish, it will send it to the phone on which you want to perform the operation.
The response messages are currently managed directly by the phone: I do not exclude the possibility that in the future I can develop a way to manage them in a more orderly mode.
- The cost of the sms sent depends on the service provider and on the rate plan agreed with it.
- This application handles only sending sms command: any malfunction of the main program AndroidLost can not be managed.
- AndroidLost Client is an independent application and is NOT affiliated with AndroidLost.

Tracker for AndroidLost BETA
This is a BETA version and there will most likely be bugs - if you are not ready for testing new software please wait until we remove the BETA sign.
Most tracker apps will give you a point on a map where your phone currently is.
But imagine you have lost it in an office building or a mall where there is no GPS signal. Then the map will just show you an inaccurate position within several 100 meters where there can be hundreds of people with phones.
This tracking app tries to solve this problem by also scanning the WIFI networks and nearby bluetooth devices.
When the tracking app can see a WIFI network that the lost phone can also see you know that you are probably within 50 meters of your phone. The lost phone also scans the bluetooth devices nearby. And when the tracking app can see the same devices you know you are within 20 meters. Finally the tracker app makes itself discoverable and when the lost phone can see the tracking phone you are within 10 meters of your lost phone. And then you can start the alarm from the tracking app.
As with AndroidLost your password is stored at google and will not be sent to any of my servers.
Please note that this is the very first version of the tracking service so it may contain bugs. And it will most likely use a some power since it searches for GPS, network, WIFIs and bluetooth devices every 10 seconds.

Can Iran's New President Resolve Nuclear Program Dispute?
By editor
Many are wondering whether Iran's newly elected president Hassan Rowhani will be able to change his nation's posture on nuclear enrichment and convince the West to end crippling economic sanctions. To find out, Steve Inskeep talks to Gary Samore, a former White House coordinator for arms control and weapons of mass destruction.

Guillem Balague
Spanish Football Expert & Columnist @GuillemBalague
The bore identity
Guillem says it's unfair to label Spain as "boring" when they always face teams defending deep.
Last Updated: 19/06/12 12:50pm
On Monday night, versus Croatia, we saw a Spain side inhibited by their own fears.
Playing with one eye on the result, facing possible elimination from the competition and knowing that a draw would suffice - they kept the ball well and were in control of the game, but lacked penetration.
Clearly, Vicente del Bosque has, at least, a Plan A and a Plan B - which means that Spain can switch between playing with or without a recognised striker. However, either strategy can only successful with the right team selections to make it work.
There is a debate over whether Sergio Busquets and Xabi Alonso should both be on the pitch at the same time; or whether Alvaro Arbeloa should give way to a more attacking full back.
Engaging with British fans and English speakers via Twitter, it been interesting to see how non-Spanish fans want to see Spain win and win in a spectacular, impressive fashion every single game.
I'm looking at a comment right now telling me that "Spain are boring." In my opinion, it's fine for people to want to see teams playing great football; but do some people not realise that the lack of goalmouth action whenever the world champions take to the field is because opponents are setting themselves up not to get beaten?
Before anybody accuses me, or Spain, of complaining about another team's perfectly legitimate approach - let's make it absolutely clear that there is no complaint. Teams have every right to play how they wish and there is more than one way to play football. The Spanish way is right for Spain, but not necessarily the case for others.
But equally, it is unfair to accuse the Spanish team of being 'boring' when there is another team on the pitch playing with 10 men behind the ball.
I managed to chat to Niko Kranjcar after the match in Gdansk and the Croatian midfielder admitted to me that he felt a little sorry for the Spanish players because they "must be getting a little tired of teams playing against them as deep as we did tonight."
He obviously didn't envy the champions need to have to spend every game trying to break down opposing defences and appreciates how difficult it is to find openings and create chances when opponents only have one thing on their mind.
Don't get me wrong. Spain do have a responsibility to break down those opposition defences: but the 'boring' tag and expectations can be a little harsh, especially when you consider that this group of players are fatigued, and at this stage of the competition the priority is to secure qualification.
Knowing that a draw would do, the combination of tiredness and a reluctance to gamble restricted Spain's penetration. And it's fair to see the weight of expectation that comes with being world champions is a burden that can inhibit at times.
Jesus Navas could be part of the solution to that problem in the next couple of games. His introduction on Monday night saw him create more of a threat in the attacking third than any of his team mates had managed and he was one of the few players who regularly frightened the Croatian defenders. Incidentally, Croatia can consider themselves a little unlucky not to have been awarded a couple of penalties.
If Spain ends up playing England in the quarter finals it will be billed as a clash of footballing philosophies - of the English versus the Spanish way. But I don't see it like that: rather a match between Hodgson's England versus Del Bosque's Spain.
Del Bosque's side do have their own style and philosophy, but they need to sharpen up - and away from the group stages, when only a win will do; this generation of Spanish stars have shown that when they have to, they can move up a gear or two when it really counts.
As far as England are concerned, I'm yet to see a clear definition of their style under Hodgson - at times they look part Italian, at other times pure English. They are certainly hard to beat and have got a lot of pace up front, which are two characteristics that can take you far.
I hope they do find their style though, because when the best of the English game is combined and brought to the forefront, England can cause problems for any team. I'm really hoping to see England play well against the Ukraine on Tuesday evening.
And if they end up as runners up in their group, let's look forward to the quarters!!

It Is Easy To Set Up, Easy to Use, Efficient,, Quality Construction.
FInally organized!8/17/2012
What a fun little labeler. I can finally have all my little tins and totes labelled with style! No more masking tape with marker. SO much better than the old ones with just one letter and style option.
Good value for the money8/10/2012
I have used older, now obsolete versions of the PT series for some time and this one is also simple to use and functional. Still uses the same cartridges, which I have never had issues with. Recommended-
Great for the price7/12/2011
I got this labeler for $15, it was a great buy for the price. It has a lot of features which is great, but you have to look at the guide every time to see what your options are, because there's too much to remember. I got it setup quickly and it works great! I would definitely recommend this labeler, especially if you can score a deal!
Best for the value5/18/2011
Works fine. Basic features. but works. got it in a deal.
Better buy a ton of batteries1/31/2011
The instructions were clear but operating the labeler was cumbersome. The device consumes battery life like there was no off switch. I have to insert batteries whenever I want to use it and then remove them when done. Hence the low value score for cost of batteries. One reason for the low performance score is that it has only two printout sizes - Large and teenie-weenie - and I do mean TEENIE-WEENIE!! Also because it's good for maybe 5 labels before I have to get new batteries.2 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Pretty nice label printer.8/18/2010
It is a good solid label printer. Brother is probably the #1 source for label printing. It works as described. I wouldn't say it is easy to use. Basically if I can pick it up and intuitively use it, it is easy to use. This is NOT. It isn't very intuitive and will take some reading to get it going good. Once you get the quirky way it works, then you are good to go.
Nice labeler4/1/2010
This works great. My kids love that there are so many different design options to choose from. It is easy and fun to use!

It may be the holiday season, but one Minnesota man decided to make it rain instead of letting it snow.
The long Thanksgiving weekend is filled with great games for football lovers. Here's what to watch:
The holidays can bring out people's stranger sides, and Thanksgiving is no exception.
UPDATE 3:15 p.m. EST: The lockdown and shelter-in-place orders have been lifted, according to the Yale alert system. Police have been going door-to-door on campus searching for the gunman, though authorities will not confirm whether it may have been a hoax.
Thanksgiving means the whole family—in-laws, distant cousins, grandparents and grandchildren—gets together to share a meal, catch up and generally spend some quality time together. If you're the host, it can be a challenge to entertain such a broad gathering of people.
We're getting a frightening and up-close look at one of the tornadoes that tore through the Midwest last weekend.
Two of baseball's biggest villains caught the eyes of the sports world Wednesday afternoon when Alex Rodriguez stormed out of his arbitration hearing after finding out that Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig would not be testifying at the hearings. Is Selig or Rodriguez the bigger villain?
Black Friday can be crazy, which may be why some folks are going to extremes to make sure they don't miss out on the deals.
Ah, Thanksgiving. Every family's tradition is different, but some things always ring true. There will always be a motley crew of folks coming together to celebrate and slip into a tryptophan-induced slumber
Silly answers and game shows go together like Thanksgiving and turkey.

The new Safari unveiled at WWDC12
Craig Federighi, Apple's SVP of Mac demonstrated the all new Safari during the WWDC12 keynote today in San Francisco.
Safari has always been intertwined in the Mac OS - but it brings even more functionality in Mountain Lion.
Safari Unified Search
Just type a few characters into the unified smart search field. Mountain Lion Searches matches in both your bookmarks and browsing history.
If you were browsing on another device - there is a new feature called iCloud tabs - which lists all the pages you have open across all your other devices.
The beauty of this is that you can pick up browsing right where you left off.
Tab view
Tab view has been updated for Mountain Lion. You can now use gestures to visually navigate your tabs.
Mountain Lion lets you use multi touch gestures to zoom in and out - zoom further out and you have a live view of all your tabs - a great way to browse.
The new scrolling architecture makes scrolling lightning fast.
Share in Mountain Lion
Share allows you to do just that - share about anything right from Safari. Federighi displayed great visuals to the sharing functionality. You can share a photo to imessage, or share a photo.
Select the person to share a message and just like that - you have shared via iMessage. The new notification center tells you when your friend responded. Fluid gestures allow you to get in and get out of all these apps.
Twitter direct message comes in as a notification - or if you want to tweet while in Safari - you just summon up a tweet sheet and tweet away - even with dictation.
All in all, Safari looks to be receiving a huge and needed upgrade in the new version of Mountain Lion.
There's lots more coming from WWDC, so keep an eye on our liveblog!

Welcome to our blog dedicated to the engineering of Microsoft Windows 7
This post is from Michael Bernstein, a development lead on the User Interface Platform team where he focuses on accessibility. Accessibility is the term we apply to the APIs and features that enable Windows to be used, to be accessible, by as many people as possible so that, regardless of physical or cognitive abilities, everyone has the ability to access the functions of Windows. To enable this, Windows includes both built-in accessibility utilities as well as APIs used by third party assistive technology aids and by application developers to make sure their software is also accessible. This is a topic that is extremely important to Microsoft and one that is a key tenet in the engineering of Windows 7. Microsoft also has a corporate-wide group dedicated to making sure that PCs are easier to see, hear, and use. You can read more about Microsoft's accessibility initiatives on http://www.microsoft.com/enable/. --Steven
Hi, I'm the development lead for Accessibility and Speech Recognition experiences in Windows 7, and I wanted to write about how we thought about Accessibility in Windows 7.
We wanted to make Windows 7 the most accessible operating system that Microsoft has ever produced. It became clear as we planned this release, however, that the notion of Accessibility is not as simple as it may appear. It is tempting to think about Accessibility like Security: either you have a known failure, or your system is believed to be secure/accessible. This definition turns out to be limited, though. How do you deal with the fact that the needs of customers who are blind are very different from the needs of customers who are deaf? The needs of customers who are blind are even different from those of customers with reduced vision: a magnification tool is useless for one group and crucial for the other. And what do we make of cases where something is technically accessible but practically frustrating, like a common user scenario that takes 36 keystrokes to execute? Clearly, Accessibility wasn't going to boil down to a simple yes/no question. It is really more like a particular kind of usability, but usability for a specific set of audiences with individual needs.
Since the questions we were asking were complex, the answers ended up being complex, too. We chose a four-part strategy to improve Accessibility in Windows 7.
In Windows Vista, Microsoft delivered a new core component for Accessibility called UI Automation. UI Automation enables a user's assistive technology (AT) to programmatically drive the UI of an application, and allows applications to expose their accessible functionality in a richer way than was possible in previous versions of Windows. More questions can be asked about a piece of UI, and that UI can be manipulated in richer ways. UI Automation also introduced the idea of Control Patterns: any given piece of UI can decide how it should be controlled. Buttons expose the Invoke pattern, indicating that they can be pushed; Combo Boxes expose ExpandCollapse, indicating that they can be opened and closed. We let different controls be different, instead of trying to force them all into the same mold. All this was introduced in Windows Vista and adoption is still ongoing.
In Windows 7, we invested in improving the performance of the UI Automation system and created a new, native-code API for UI Automation to make sure that it can be used effectively by a wide range of assistive technology software. Now applications written in C++, as well as those written using the .NET Framework, can take advantage of UI Automation.
We also did a bunch of work to make sure that the UI Automation system was integrated even more closely with the legacy Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) system and developed new bridging techniques between the best of the new and the old technologies. UI Automation Clients can read Accessibility information from MSAA applications, and vice versa, to ensure maximum Accessibility regardless of which accessibility API an application used originally. Since the UI Automation and MSAA systems cooperate closely in many scenarios, we decided to name the combination of the two, calling it the Windows Automation API. This architecture forms the foundation for the rest of our Accessibility effort, and we're pleased to have this Accessibility foundation Windows 7.
We also improved the Accessibility utilities that we include in the box with Windows. Microsoft works closely with many different AT software companies who deliver software to make Windows more accessible to customers with disabilities, but we also include a set of utilities to make sure that our customers' early experiences are accessible, even before installing any other software. We decided to enhance two of those utilities in Windows 7: the On-Screen Keyboard and the Magnifier.
The most noticeable change to the On-Screen Keyboard is the improved look and feel, but there are also more subtle enhancements. The appearance of this utility had not changed since Windows XP; our customers were also asking for it to be resizable. We addressed both of these by working closely with Tablet developers to share a common code base between the Tablet Soft Keyboard and the On-Screen Keyboard. Both keyboards now have an attractive appearance that is in tune with Windows 7 and both are now resizable. The keyboards still are distinct, though, because customers use them differently: Tablet users may want to switch dynamically between handwriting and typing, whereas On-Screen Keyboard users may need modes where they can hover or scan to keys, if they have disabilities that prevent them from clicking. Along these lines, we also added basic text prediction to help customers with disabilities enter text more quickly. If you have ever tried typing with an on-screen keyboard, you can appreciate how significantly text prediction can improve text entry speed.
The Magnifier came in for a deeper overhaul. The Magnifier in Windows Vista and Windows XP was not an intuitive experience: when you pointed at part of the screen, the magnified content appeared in a separate window, usually docked at top of the screen. You had to point at one place and look at another. We considered two basic solutions to this problem: you could zoom into the entire screen or you could make the magnified area follow the pointer while leaving the rest of the screen the same. These became our two primary modes for the Windows 7 Magnifier: Full-screen mode and Lens mode.
Full-screen mode is great when you want to increase the size of everything on the screen at once. As you move the mouse or keyboard focus around the middle of the screen, the view stays still; if you move towards the edge, the Magnifier scrolls the view to keep up. One downside of this mode is that you can lose track of your context. To address that usability issue, we added a context animation that zooms out to show you where your work area is relative to the whole screen, and then zooms back in.
Lens mode, on the other hand, is nice when you just want to zoom in on one particular thing. In this mode, the lens centers on the mouse pointer, which feels much like using a magnifying glass. You can re-size the lens to be very wide and short, which can be nice if you are reading a document and want to magnify it line by line. We based our design on the popular Microsoft IntelliPoint magnifier, a design you can now enjoy with any mouse.
We also addressed customer feedback about the Magnifier window taking up too much space on the screen. We moved the most commonly used controls like zoom in/out to a small toolbar, which fades out to a semi-transparent watermark when you aren't using it. The remaining options are available in an Options dialog when you need them. Last, we gave almost everything a keyboard shortcut, so if you really don't want to see the UI, you don't have to use it. Win-+ will zoom you in any time you are using Windows 7.
These tools directly improve Accessibility for customers with low vision and dexterity disabilities. It should be obvious, but making the PC easier to see or interact with benefits everyone and so these two examples also show the broad appeal of AT tools – at the PDC we showed both the On-Screen Keyboard and the Magnifier and I think it is fair to see everyone saw the benefit of using these tools themselves, regardless of abilities.
Windows APIs cannot provide Accessibility all by themselves; it is vital for Windows-based applications to do their part in providing Accessibility data for AT programs to use. For example, a screen reader may sound excellent, but if it can't read your favorite web browser, what good is that? Assistive tools like screen readers and magnifiers are clients of the Accessibility system, while the applications that you want to use, like web browsers and word processors, are providers. It takes both to make the whole experience accessible--you need both a high-quality client and a well-written provider to have a good Accessible experience. There are more providers in the software ecosystem, so it is hard for us to work one-on-one with every provider to make sure they are well-written.
To address this challenge, our team developed the UI Accessibility Checker (AccChecker for short) and UI Automation Verify (UIA Verify) utilities, which can scan an application (a provider, really) and report on common Accessibility problems. Software developers can use AccChecker and UIA Verify to detect problems in their provider code before a customer ever uses it. Quality assurance engineers can use them to verify the quality of their firm's work. We believe this is so important that we released AccChecker and UIA Verify as open-source software to make it available to the widest possible audience. If you are not a programmer, you may never use these utilities directly, but you may well benefit from the bugs they helped to eliminate before they ever reached you.
To make sure that Windows features themselves were good providers, we borrowed an idea from the Software Development Lifecycle, risk assessment. Before a line of code was written, each planned Windows 7 feature was rated on its Accessibility risk. Features that use more basic, off-the-shelf common controls are usually more accessible because Windows provides built-in providers for off-the-shelf components; features that do fancy, custom drawing have more work to do. This planning process made each team aware of how much accessibility risk it was taking on, so that they could plan appropriately. Once the features were all rated, the list was sorted by risk so that our team could reach out to teams with high-risk features and make sure that they had the resources and tools they needed to make their feature properly accessible. We also ensured that they received more hands-on testing and validation. As a result, most Windows features are more accessible than they have been in previous releases, making for a better overall customer experience.
To wrap up, we've emphasized Accessibility in engineering Windows 7. We've made good progress on improving the core architecture for Accessibility and enhancing the included tools like On-Screen Keyboard and Magnifier. The AccChecker and UIA Verify tools have made it much easier to validate applications to ensure that they will be compatible with current assistive tools as well as future tools based on the Windows Automation API. Our approach to Accessibility for the features and providers in Windows itself has become more thorough, consistent and integrated, thanks to the hard work of hundreds of engineers across the company. We're proud of what we have accomplished in Windows 7 and hope that it will help customers with disabilities to realize their full potential and have a more enjoyable experience with Windows.
Can you make the 5 key of the numeric keypad (which currently sort of simulates a left mouse click) behave exactly like the left mouse click like the button we have on laptops? For example, it is currently not possible to drag or hold the 5 key down and simulate a drag or hold. Also, there is no real key for right click (though most keyboards have a context menu key however that really brings up the context menu where the keyboard focus indicator is, not where the mouse pointer/cursor is).
Windows 7 Beta is coming for Developer !!!
OPS!! Im Not Developers :(
And also at January 13 for you others...
I saw the article Ed Bott where he hopes the Beta for 13 January,
I have also seen that $ 99 can sign up to receive the DVD
If it were possible from Sign from Italy to receive the DVD in Italy (although im not developers)
would i immediately register.
I can not resist
What I would like to see is Microsoft address one of the major complaints from the Beta's Vista, the ability to move and edit the tool bars, address bars, icon bars, menu bar. For the life of me I can't not understand why Microsoft still puts up a wall when it come to this small aspect of the UI. It was and is still a major complaint by many, Microsoft ignored it in the beta's of Vista and still to this day has continued to ignore this simple and modest request. Come on Windows Seven team, stop locking down the UI, is really that difficult to add a few lines of code back in to Windows? Will it really hurt the operating system to allow users a choice? It such a simple request, Windows Seven team, Why can't you do it????? so disappointing, so very very disappointing....
I'll assume you've carefully thought through all of the implications of UI Automation. Sounds to me like a potential avenue for malware to exploit this API.
I'm not a user that needs this functionality, but I see it as very important for MS to think really hard about this. If you can make it easier for someone with a limitation, its going to make it easier for all the rest of us as well. I understand the desire to have multi-key press activation of commands (Win + X key), but surely this has to be very difficult for people with limited hand dexterity or only a single usable digit. This may also be a problem with multi-touch on touch screens. Maybe some thought needs to be given to gesture-type interfaces (I've seen some stuff with cameras that follow hand movements), as well as the speech interface. Thinking about how these things might be used, even if the functionality isn't there built into the OS, may lead you to some new ideas.
Please make sure you have as many physically-challenged users as possible on your usability review teams. I'm constantly surprised by the enterprising and innovative ways people have of overcoming their limitations, and finding a way to get stuff done. They come up with ideas that us able-bodied folks don't and for good reason they're passionate about it.
I think removing the ability to totally customize the toolbars in explorer was done on purpose. It makes it easier to support the software if you know someone hasn't hidden or squished the address and search bars down to nothing. You might just want to suggest what icon you need to be quickly accessible.
I still don't see any valuable information about new system on this forum + I have found some new articles (like "Windows 7: Simple vs. Easy" and "Microsoft exec: Windows 7 is no service pack"). I decided to comment all these facts on my page: http://www.gammu.org/wiki/index.php?title=HydePark:Thinking_about_Windows_7
Pls stop your SPAM!!
You're commenting for example fact, that testing beta of Windows 7 costs 100$ now and I'm commenting some other facts.
If you think, that my last post was spam, I can start writing comments again directly on this forum.
I dont think that your posts will help anything...wy not just say...i hate you, Microsoft...every post of you, in your wiki, is about how bad Vista, maybe the best OS on Earth, and 7 are, and that XP is the only good OS...do you know wy everyone likes XP...7 Years of working with the OS, and not becouse its easy...
I actually want to be able to squish and change tool bars around, by the way I never have had to call support.:) It's just options and choice. I remember this was a major complaint in the Betas of Vista, and again its really a minor request, but it's a suggestion for Microsoft, I would love to see them allow access to the tool bars, icon bars menu bars, address bars it is the reason why I don't use Vista on a regular basis, and for many it's a major flaw in Vista, I just hate to see history repeat itself.
Actually Vista has not been well received,
"7 Years of working with the OS, and not becouse its easy..."
I actually find XP a lot more intuitive than Vista. Almost every major complaint about Vista was major complaints in the betas of Vista, Microsoft ignored them,that was a mistake.
I think saying sums it up.
"Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it."
--George Santayana
Vista hasn't been received well by market, because system has got some disadvantages. This is not only my opinion.
Microsoft starts to repeat some mistakes from Vista in Windows 7 and I'm writing about it and only about it (in my opinion system can be wrong received by market, if development will be done like now). Microsoft need to change some rules and go into some other direction - if they will say "we have excellent Vista codebase" only, they will fail again. As Eghost said it would be good to return to history:
there were Windows 98 SE and NT 4.0 quite good received by the market. Microsoft proposed Windows ME, which wasn't excellent. They had seen it and resigned from it. Concentrated on successful NT 4.0 and we had 2000, XP, etc.
now there was XP very good received by people. Microsoft proposed Vista, which isn't excellent. They don't resign from its' solutions, but say: we know better, what market need. And we will give something looking and working similar. And I'm writing about it.
I don't say, that I hate Microsoft - there are many nice and hard working there people and they're making very good job there (for example with Visual Studio). I know, that Steven is making his job as good as he can. But some decisions (decisions, not people) are wrong and I'm writing about it.
Windows 7 will be maybe received a little better, because our computers are better (faster). But it can be failure too. If you think, that's different, please show concrete technical reasons. Not marketing words about excellent taskbar or touch screen support. I'm really opened for discussion and I'm waiting for it.
As Eghost said similar critic comments were ignored in beta stage of Vista. Will be good for Microsoft to ignore them now ? We will see.
NO!Beta is TOTAL FREE!!!!
I wanted to pay $ 99 only for a DVD collector.

A5: Variable payment loans are billed on the last day of each month with a payment due on the 25th of the next month. You can set up an automatic payment transfer for the payment amount due and it can occur on any day from the 1st of the month until the 25th of the month.
Q6: Can we please change the access online to allow us to go back 18 months in our history and view cleared checks for up to a year?
A6: For those members who have enrolled in eStatements, you have access to transaction history online for up to 18 months. We cannot further expand access on Internet Banking for cleared checks up to 18 months without negatively impacting the performance of Internet Banking for the membership. However, members can also obtain a copy of specific checks that are beyond the available online history by contacting the credit union.
Q7: Can the copies of the cleared checks be made available directly on eStatements?
A7: Copies of the checks cannot be viewed via eStatements, but check images are available through transaction history on Internet Banking.
Q8: Can the Members' Choice program develop relationships with local merchants to give credit union members discounts.
A8: Yes, please refer to our Members' Discount Area on our website, hvfcu.org, to see our many current, local merchant discounts. Please also see our website for other credit union industry discounts such as the latest "Invest In America Program" that has links to other merchant discounts for credit union members.
Q9: Can we have member initiated payroll processing from my business account directly into my employees' accounts at other institutions?
A9: Yes, this is currently available through Business Internet Banking. Business members can contact their Relationship Manager to help set this up.
Q10: In your advertisement, please use American products. For example, the Hudson Valley Insurance Agency ad displays a Honda automobile instead of an American vehicle! This does not stimulate the U.S. economy.
A10: Our members purchase and insure a wide array of vehicles, including Honda automobiles, that are also manufactured in the U.S. and do stimulate the economy.
Q11: Any plans for a branch in Eastern Dutchess, specifically Poughquag or Pawling area?
A11: We continue to evaluate sites throughout Dutchess, Ulster, Orange, and Putnam Counties including eastern Dutchess County. Factors considered in our review are member concentration, available branch and ATM locations, cost of location, and probable member usage. At this time, we have not identified a location in the Eastern Dutchess area that meets our needs.
Q12: As a member, I would prefer to receive copies of canceled checks. This is more convenient for me to keep up with my accounting. It should be an option. All previous banks I belonged to have provided me with this service. Even small copies would be okay. If not done, I will have to go somewhere else to do business.
A12: Copies of your most recent checks cleared are available online via Internet Banking. This service provides a copy of the front and back of cleared checks that you can print at your convenience.
Q13: Since the change from PFCU to HVFCU, long lines-no workers! 15 minute wait. Are we to expect waiting on line as normal for HVFCU? Since the change from PFCU I have had to wait on line every visit. Why is the service so time consuming? Seems like there are never enough employees for the volume of members. Sometimes the line goes outside the front door. Your staff is not friendly.
A13: We have now increased our staff at the Carmel and Brewster branches by 9 full-time equivalents (6 in Carmel and 3 in Brewster). Management has consistently observed improved member service levels for the past several weeks. Now that training has been completed, many of the faces you are accustomed to seeing have returned.
Q14: When are the hours going to increase in Carmel?
A14. We utilize several measures to determine the need for expanding hours based on service levels, volume, cost benefits, and competition. We will continue to assess our members' needs at our Carmel location and re-evaluate the hours throughout 2011.
Q15: I am a member and I had my son with me when I opened up an account. I didn't like the fact that your bank is not kid friendly. There was no bathroom in your bank and the one that was available had no baby changing table to change my son's diaper.
A15: Separate restrooms in the Hollowbrook location for "HVFCU Use Only" were not provided in our current lease.
Q16: Why doesn't HVFCU offer safety deposit boxes similar to its competition?
A16: We have no plans to offer this service because of space limitations.
Q17: Can you hold the shredder truck event more often at the Beacon location?
A17: We currently do not plan to bring the shredder truck more frequently to Beacon, but it is scheduled to be at our Beacon branch on June 3, 2011. However, we have 13 shredder events scheduled in 2011 throughout our branch network. Please see our website for the shredder schedule at other branch locations.
Q18: Why must I use Firefox and not Safari on my Apple computer when I need to do e-banking? Can I be accommodated with Safari please?
A18: Our e-banking solution does support Safari. Please contact the credit union if you encounter any problems utilizing.
Q19: Please tell me when you (HVFCU), will provide a credit card with a $1,000.00 deposit balance like other financial institutions (not based on credit)?
A19: Based on the Credit Card Act that went into effect February 2010, we cannot open any credit card account without considering a consumer's ability to make the required payments. In order to determine the ability to pay, we must pull a credit report for all credit card applications, regardless of whether it is secured or unsecured.

Product information
The Dualit 49900 Toaster pushes the boundaries to give you the perfect piece of toast. Featuring 4 slots for multiple slices, this toaster has been crafted to make it easy to toast bread to optimum levels. It features a clean look and smooth curves that won't look out of place in any modern kitchen.
An intelligent browning feature instils simplicity into the art of making the perfect piece of toast. Intelligent browning control automatically adjusts the time, depending on the type of bread to give you consistent browning for every slice. Spring-loaded slots centre the bread ensuring both sides are browned evenly.
Designed, for continual use, the 49900 has undergone rigorous testing to make sure that the unit is reliable.

Wide slots allow for bread as chunky as 30mm thick, so you can enjoy the toast the size you like it. It also features two independently controlled pop-up slots, so you don't have to toast four slices at once.

In 2008, 11 practices received training on the automatic recall function in Colorado's IIS (CIIS) for both infants and adolescents. The two-hour computer-based training provided an opportunity for attendees to run real-time recall reports with CIIS staff assistance. Eight months later, key informant interviews were conducted with 24 providers and staff from these practices.
Study results showed that eight months after training, only four out of 11 practices had implemented recall using CIISthree practices recalled children two years of age and under and one practice recalled adolescent females for the Human Papillomavirus vaccine. Resistance to using the System included lack of awareness of baseline immunization rates, distrust in the accuracy of CIIS generated data, and perceived difficulties recalling adolescents. Having unrealistic expectations about recall effectiveness was a barrier to sustainability.
Strategies that facilitated recall included having a dedicated staff person for recall efforts and recalling children two years of age and under. The majority of key informants viewed population-based recall conducted by public health departments or schools as an acceptable alternative to provider-based recall.
"Even with a promising tool to assist pediatric offices, implementing provider-based recall is challenging for pediatric practices," said Saville. Given existing barriers, providers expressed support for alternative recall methods.
Currently, there is no research comparing the effectiveness of provider-based versus population-based recall. Such research is needed in order to determine the most effective and cost-effective methods for getting children up-to-date with immunizations at the population level. Researcher
