Now, Thiel's a certified Randian nutcase, and you'll find that the regard for this opinion stems from the anti-academicism I discussed above. But it's important to say that you don't have to have any particular orientation towards the university at all to point out that Thiel's argument is bogus. It's bogus not just because we aren't in a higher education bubble, but because you can't have a higher education bubble. You can't have an asset bubble, in any conventional meaning of the term, when you're dealing with an asset that can't be transferred. Here's what I said in a comment written some time ago:
The housing bubble was a bubble because people were able to borrow against the market value of their homes. The fluctuation in the home's value is actually of little concern to an owner who intends to hold the asset. It is of great importance to the owner who is either planning on selling the home soon, or who is borrowing against the value of the home. Neither of these situations apply to college students.
You can't have a classic asset bubble when the asset in question is non-transferable. The students are expecting to earn more based on the possession of the degree, and this can turn out to not be the case-- but let's be clear: the value-added of a college degree has never been higher. Generally, talk of college students not getting the value for their degree is limited to anecdote. On the level of data, the financial incentive for attending college has never been higher. To wit.
Anyway, I digress. While a college degree may or may not confer a financial advantage equal to the price of attendance, that is irrelevant to the formation of a classic asset bubble. You can't speculate on the value-added of a college degree. The degree is non-transferable; you can't take a bet by buying someone elses or reduce risk by moving yours away. And while there is some limited action in derivatives revolving around student loans, it is nothing compared to the endless derivatives, hedges, and collateralized debt that went into housing. Because, again, when an asset is non-transferable there's limited opportunity to speculate.
Really, both education and housing suffer from being defined as investments rather than tangible goods. A house's value can fluctuate wildly without cause for concern if the owner's primary interest is in living in it. (Refinancing your mortgage, after all, amounts to a bet by the bank on the future value of your home.) Meanwhile, higher education is treated as though it is only a financial instrument, rather than having the actual value of having been educated. Of course, education isn't going to look worth it, when you separate it from its actual value! It's like buying a chair, refusing to value the ability to sit in it, and calling it a bad investment if the chair doesn't rise in value. The question isn't purely of value but of utility.Again, consider the housing bubble. Had it simply been a matter of individuals transferring houses at unrealistic prices, and then having those prices be adjusted to a more reasonable level, the financial risk to the greater economy would have been contained. Individuals might have recklessly based their personal finances on their ability to renegotiate their mortgages with the banks, presuming the value of their homes would never rise. (Note that even this limited risk taking is impossible with a college degree; go to a bank and see if you can get a loan risked against the rising value of your degree.) That would have caused financial distress for the individuals borrowing against the values of their homes, but it would have been contained. What made the danger so great was that so many other people had essentially made the same bet, securitizing and trading pooled mortgage risk with the assumption that home values would only continue to rise. Not only is there no equivalent investment vehicle with the value of a college degree, it's difficult to imagine how any such investment could work. Again, when you can't transfer an asset, the ability to speculate on that asset is very limited.
Also very important: stock and publicly traded asset bubbles have been especially pernicious because they have come to represent such a huge part of our economy and growth. The subprime mortgage crisis was an existential threat to our economy because such a huge portion of our economy was based on its continued existence. Meanwhile, what the value of a college education is meant to contribute to, increasing worker wages, is now, I'm sorry to say, a very small part of our economy. Nobody's making bets on the value of worker compensation rising. Why would they? Real wages have stagnated for decades.
Why does a presumably bright person like Sarah Lacy report Thiel's alarmist talk so uncritically, and why do so many smart people buy into it? Because it's provocative and loud, and because it speaks to the fundamental anxiety of many of the people who live on the Internet. Which is why Thiel's argument is bound to be linked to and passed around all over the place, whereas arguments like mine will largely go unheard.

I happen to have several unused Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist Digital Deluxe coupons from one of the latest promotions by NVIDIA.
They're valid only until 31.12.2013, there's not much time left, so I thought - let's make a Neowin giveaway! Just a little gesture that Neowin is a nice place to be at... sometimes.
What to do to take part:
* Just reply to this topic (and be creative about it - it won't matter really, but it's more fun that way, right?)
What will probably happen:
* When the clock strikes some arbitrary value on 30.12.2013, I'll pseudorandomly choose at most *that many* people and PM them the code
* UPlay account will be required.
* Promo valid only for EU region, unfortunately then
* This is not and should not be an official promo, not related to NVIDIA, UPlay or whatever in any way

While there are plenty of great toy brands on the market today, Plan Toys is superior to many, as it promotes physical and intellectual development through imagination. Unlike today's popular mass produced toys that often contain dangerous plastics and harmful paints, Plan Toys revels in simplicity, using wooden shapes and basic ideas that allow a child's imagination to soar. Almost all their toys are made from recycled rubberwood, which is never chemically treated, and their designs always foster the basis of a child's innate creativity, allowing them to grow and explore without mom having to worry about health hazards.
Plan Toys has received various accolades internationally, including recognition as manufacturing the Best Toy of the Year by Parenting Magazine, and the Child's Best Toy Award by Child Magazine. The company's mission is to effectively hone a child's skill set from birth to kindergarten. Their website features a timeline of child development milestones, as well as toy recommendations for each age group. This is especially helpful for first time parents who want to maximize their children's learning potential but aren't sure where to start.
For little ones with a musical spirit, Plan Toys' oval xylophone and sound roller are great buys. Inexpensive and yet at a high quality value that allows them to endure for generations, these musical toys will be well loved and cherished by their little owners.
Children also can partake in adult tasks via Plan Toys' cooking utensil set, washing machine and kitchen center. All three use simple concepts and design to help children explore their world in an effective way. More household "appliances" are also available, including a microwave and refrigerator, so your little one can "help" prepare meals and do the dishes right alongside you.
Lastly, let them play with something as simple as a wooden toy truck, which will allow them to partake in role playing and imaginative creation. Check out all the great Plan Toys products available through BabyEarth for some great gift giving ideas.

A 28-year-old Willis man has been arrested in Carroll County after local authorites allegedly found drugs in his vehicle.
On March 14, the Carroll County Sheriff's Office received information from Montgomery County that Charlie Wayne Howard was wanted by their agency and was possibly staying at a location on Gator Mountain Road in Carroll County. Members of the Carroll County and Montgomery County Sheriff's Office went to the cabin and found that the suspect had left.
Corporal David Walls was maintaining a watch on one end of Gator Mountain Road and stopped a vehicle identifying the occupant as the suspect, Carroll County Sheriff J.B. Gardner said. The suspect admitted to having a container with marijuana in the vehicle. Inside the container were two small bags of marijuana and two bags of a substance believed to be methamphetamine, Gardner said.
Corporal Walls arrested Howard for Possession of a Schedule I or II drug and driving on a suspended license, two Montgomery County charges of Grand Larceny, and Floyd County charges of Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Controlled Paraphernalia, Gardner said.
Howard was taken to New River Valley Jail with no bond.

Recleim, a start-up recycler of appliances and e-waste materials, will establish its first recycling plant in Graniteville that is expected to generate 200 new jobs.
Gov. Nikki Haley, along with company and county officials, made the announcement in Columbia this morning.
The company has committed to a $40.6 million investment in Aiken County.
Ben Hirokawa, CEO of Recleim, said, "We are pleased to move forward with plans to open our new facility in Aiken County. This is a big step for our company. South Carolina provides us with an excellent business environment and the skilled workforce we need for our operations. We appreciate all the support we've received from state and local officials," said.
Recleim is establishing its first recycling facility in the former Hickman Mill plant at 118 Hard Street in Graniteville. The company specializes in resource recovery from appliances, white goods and electronic waste, and in environmentally-sound disposal of hazardous components. The company is in the process of updating the 110,000-square-foot building to accommodate three production lines.
Today's announcement is a milestone for Graniteville, said Ronnie Young, chairman of the Aiken County Council. "Since 2006, we have been working to attract jobs back into this area," Young said. "We are very appreciative of this $40 million investment and 200 new jobs by Recleim and we are looking forward to partnering with them."
"This is exciting news we hearing about today," said Gary Stooksbury, chairman of the Board of The Economic Development Partnership. "Recleim investing $40 million and creating 200 new jobs in Graniteville is very much appreciated."
Gov. Nikki Haley said, "When a company decides to locate its first plant here in South Carolina, it says a lot about the strength of our state's business-friendly climate and skilled workforce. It shows that companies see our state as a place where they will find success."
Recleim's Aiken facility will employ state-of-the-art, proprietary technology that safely contains the harmful substances found in discarded appliances, while reducing the typical landfill waste from these appliances by 95 percent. The new facility is expected to be one of the most efficient and environmentally sound facilities of its kind in North America, according to company officials.
The company is currently hiring for the plant management team, and will begin hiring production line workers later this year. Anyone interested in job opportunities with Recleim should visit the company's careers web page at www.recleim.com/career/.

People opt for different means of travelling when going on holiday. The distance to be covered, the cost and the time taken are some of the deciding factors of choosing the transport type. Without doubt planes have become a favourite mode of transport for many over the past few decades but as usual, everything has its pros and cons.
The first positive thing about planes is that they are a fast way to get to your holiday resort. They make it easy to travel the world in hours rather than days hence you will reach your holiday destination quickly. This factor also eliminates the chance of you arriving at your destination when extremely tired due to long road trips. Planes are convenient, as a passenger you just sit back and enjoy the ride and let the pilot and crew take you on your journey, you just board the plane order a drink or food and relax.
Entertainment, meals etc. are managed adequately by the staff, plus the pilot does all the driving. Flying can be a relaxing way to travel as it gives you a chance to chill out and read a book or watch a movie on your way to your holiday destination or even use that extra time to work. Long haul flights are usually a bit more spacey and comfortable with extra leg room and a more comfy seat but shorter journeys of four hours or less are usually done by short haul planes which are similar to a coach with limited leg space and entertainment. Most airlines provide drinks for sale on board as well as snacks and meals but they can be very expensive.
The first problem with air travel usually starts at the airport for most people. There are usually long queues at ticket and security points, some people feel harassed by the security checks and you have to be at the airport for quite a long time before boarding the plane. The fixed time of travel means that any element of lateness will result to one missing their flight. Flying is not ideal for some travellers; especially if sight-seeing along the way is on your agenda, the fast mode of travel through the air means that travellers miss the chance to site see different places other than a fleeting glance as you fly by. For many people a flight basically eliminates the fun of travelling. Travelling to far places results in long hours on the plane. This proves to be uncomfortable for some people. The cost of air travel is more expensive than other means such as cars and trains. The longer the trip, the more the prices rise.
All in all, air travel is a decision that can only be made by a traveller after analysing their needs. It is a good form of transport depending on one's preference and ability.

Local musician currently ranked 27th in national contestWritten by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Grammy-winner Don Was has produced work by The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks and John Mayer — and now local musician Zack Fletcher has a chance to work with him.
"Before this, I wasn't familiar with him, but I've probably heard stuff that he's produced," Fletcher said. "He's worked with a lot of different people. … I guarantee I've heard some of his work already."
As part of Guitar Center's Singer Songwriter contest, Fletcher's music videos are featured online. The more views the videos get, the more points he receives.
"Even if I weren't to move on, so many people have been able to listen to my music. I've gotten a lot of feedback from it," Fletcher said.
Ten finalists will be hand-selected by Was and the judging panel to perform live in Los Angeles. From there, Don Was will choose a grand prize winner.
The grand prize is recording a four-song E.P. with Was, which Fletcher already has songs to record.
"The E.P. that I [already] recorded has five songs on it and I probably have another 25 that are about ready to be recorded so I'd be picking from a pretty large pool of songs," Fletcher said.
Fletcher said he grew up on classic rock and is influenced by The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. He received his first guitar at 11 years old and since has wanted to be successful with his music. He began writing original music in 2008.
Being a Bowling Green State University graduate, he is involved with the community of Bowling Green and active with WBGU-FM and BG Live Wire. He has performed at The Clazel, Howard's Club H, The Stones Throw and Grumpy Dave's Pub.
Fletcher said he knew about the contest last year, but didn't have any videos to submit. So, he collaborated with his cousin Kyle Lock to make music videos for this year's contest.
"I knew I needed them anyway," he said. "The first time I saw the contest was going, that was just a reminder for me. I [didn't] have anything I could submit to this even if I wanted to."
The contest runs through Nov. 9 and Fletcher is competing against 8,000 other musicians. As of Oct. 29, Fletcher had 3,763 points and was in 27th place.
Anyone can help Fletcher earn points by viewing his videos here. Sharing his videos will award him points as well.

So here I am, hating windows 8 so badly after realizing the only way I could turn off automatic updates for windows media player according to Microsoft support was to create my own key in my registry, when all they had to add was an on off button to windows. Microsoft is going too far to not allow people to uninstall programs on their computer or turn off upate features on them.
So I'm going to buy either a PS4, Xbox, or MAC OS. I was wondering what system would be best for ESO you think for me. Does Mac OS have unfriendly auto updating or user controls? I know consoles are on separate servers, which one do you think might have the most people and do consoles these days also do auto updates during game play?
I guess I should note that I want to be able to play Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim also.

First, understand that I love Macs. Before you buy a mac you need to understand what you are purchasing. When it comes to gaming they may not be the best choice for you. You will be putting yourself into a slightly better boat than a linux user. Most games are for windows. That's just how it is. You can run any windows game by installing windows on your mac with bootcamp, or you can get access to a decent selection without doing that by using playonmac or crossover. With the bootcamp option you now have what is basically an expensive pc that doesn't have the best hardware for the cost to play your games on. If that's how you spend most your time then all you have paid for is a pretty mac box. If most of the games you play are available natively or with one of those solutions then I have no doubt you will be happy with a mac purchase. However, if you are looking for a system thats primary use will be gaming then I'm afraid you will be disappointed with a mac.

If those are the choices, go with the PS4 IMO, should be able to play EQN on it as well.

Not sure.
I always have issues with SLI, some games aren't SLI compatible for months on end, driver issues on a PC up the wazooo, mods that actually hurt performance and you don't realize it until you turn them off, etc. Decisions decisions.

hating an OS because its build for touchscreens is not that smart... I know why people hate windows, thats because they are affraid of change and wory about having to relearn a lot they allready know..
Well, better stick to windows 7 then, instead of spending all your money on very expensive apple hardware thats not even gaming worthy...

Really, I don't see how that can turn you off. Mac has even more restrictions in comparison to windows. I been using Windows 8 for probably 6 -7 months now and it works fine. It's fast, and I never really have issues.
Also why would you want to turn updates off? Updating your software is important as it tends to keep your security at check. When people find loop holes or a back door in a program, microsoft or a company will come in and release a security update. It's in your best interest to update.
As for uninstalling programs, yes, you can uninstall windows media player if you wanted to. Go to control panel, open up programs and features, then click turn windows features on or off and uncheck media features. Apply and it should uninstall windows media player.
Also keep in mind, people have problems with macs as well. All computers have problems. It's even worse when a person has no clue what they are doing. Don't expect buying a mac to be some quick fix. You will be very disappointed.
Windows 8 is a very good OS. It's actually probably the best one made by MS. Most people who rag on it, are the ones who can't get used to the new interface, which can easily be turned off if you are even a little computer savvy. However, a new update is coming out soon that will allow you to do it right in the settings, so it will be even easier.
Also, as someone mentioned above, PCs support more games, they are also considerably cheaper in comparison to macs. Remember, when you buy a mac, you are paying a premium just for the label.
I could continue to go on a rant here, but really don't think I am really going to make much of a difference.

win 8 is just win 7 updated for touch screens, google making win 8 look like win 7, and then follow the guide.
if you got bent out of shape over windows media player, lol.

You really shouldn't speak of thing you know nothing about to mislead people. While I do understand what you are saying, at least try and be a little more accurate with your info.

The problem with Windows 8 is that people dont like changes in their habbits.. But as an client OS its really a step in the right direction.

Apples hardware is for people who want to pretend they are special snowflakes. It is in many ways like a cult following. I like to call it fadware. People like to buy it, not because of its superior capabilities, but because it is trendy.
You are paying double for a machine that is inferior in just about every way possible. It makes no sense at all to purchase an Apple computer for gaming. Its like buying a wrench to hammer in nails. It is the wrong tool for the job.
There is absolutely only one positive to Apple computers, and oddly enough it has nothing to do with the hardware. Most malicious software is written for Windows, so the MAC OS is immune to most of it. However, to any seasoned PC owner that is more or less a non-issue as well. Its not hard to know what sites not to visit, and to keep your PC decently secured. There are even far more advanced techniques that can assure complete protection.

I have never owned a Mac or Apple computer. But saying they are double the price is insane. Go look up the price on Apple's website. I7s, 16GB RAM, VERY nice monitors, etc etc for less than $2000. Where can you have the pre-built for much less? Please don't bring up building your own because obviously thats always much less. I never understand why Apple does not just sell the OS so people can install it on their own computers. I have noticed that quite a few more games are being made now for the Mac.

Example 1: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883155739 , doesn't come with a screen but it's cheap enough to be able to afford a screen just as good as any apple computer and still be cheaper.
Example 2: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883220347 , again no screen, but still cheap enough to get you one of same quality as the apple and still be below $2000.
These 2 examples are probably not even the best examples, it's not like I actually went looking. You could probably even find better deals.
Also, the benefit of a non apple product is you have more choice.
As for building a computer, why wouldn't that be included? You can't just discount that like it doesn't exist just to benefit your argument which totally failed btw.
As for why Apple doesn't sell their OS, it's because the OS works for very specific hardware that Apple approves. You can't just install it on any system. Such as, I think the OS only works with Samsung's SSDs if i remember correctly. Trying to find a work around could be very well impossible.
They do this for a reason though, they figure they only want the hardware THEY choose, so someones bad hardware doesn't show their OS in a bad light. It's a way to control the overall quality of your product. It's sort of a cheap way to make your product look better in comparison to others.

OP, if you already have a mac then go for it on a mac unless you want to buy the console anyways. If you dont own a mac then ill recommend the console version anyways. Its not worth the price of a mac just to play a game that clearly doesnt need that much money invested on hardware to run properly.
I personally will get the PS4 version because its action combat, but if i had to choose a computer version alternative to windows i would make the game work on Linux instead of getting a mac.
EDIT: FF14ARR is cross platform between PS3 and PC. I really hope Zenimax is smart enough to do the same thing with cross platform.

"So what you are trying to say then is that custom build computer is much cheaper than computer from manufacturer (regardless if it's Apple or any other). Nothing new here, move along."
No duh. It exists, so why discount it? Again my statement is still true. >.> I really don't know what you are trying to prove here. Think you need to read what the last person said and why I mentioned that because it seems you didn't. You pretty much read my comment with out even reading who I was responding too. Good job!
I said "They are not double the price."
You said "Still not half of Mac's price"
Good job once again agreeing with me! Again, wow. At this very moment in time I am just shaking my head back and fourth wondering if you even realize you just made yourself look very silly.
If you are going to disagree, at least actually do so. Saying you disagree and then saying the same thing I pretty much did, just doesn't make sense. Are you agreeing or disagreeing, make up your mind o.o

Vacuum Cleaner Belts
Did you know that proper maintenance can extend the life of your vacuum cleaner? One of the most basic maintenance items is belt maintenance. It is crucial part in your cleaning system that connects your motor to the brush roll. To check this, you need to remove the bottom plate and place a finger under the best to feel if it is taut. If you find that it's not, and it is showing signs of wear, it is time to replace it. While it is recommended you change vacuum belts once or twice a year, the frequency will actually depend on how often you use your vacuum cleaner. Frequent use makes it prone to cracks, sagging and other forms of damage. The motor is unable to turn a belt that does not have good traction on the brush roll. As a result, your vacuum does not clean up to its potential.
Looking for belts for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we recommend customers reduce the risk for vacuum repairs in the long-term by regularly checking the internal parts including belt, bag and hose regularly. While our advice represents general care and maintenance, we also stock a wide range of vacuum cleaner accessories including belts for a wide range of cleaners and ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs according to your needs!

Siri down?
We're getting lots of mail and tweets from readers who say Siri is currently down for them, as in Apple's new artificially intelligent voice control system says it can't connect to the network. While Siri is in beta at the moment, and all online services have outages, that doesn't stop real users from being really annoyed when it happens.
Is Siri down for you? Are you being told Siri is having trouble connecting to the network? Are you on Wi-Fi or 3G, and if 3G, which carrier? Does restarting your iPhone 4S help?
Let us know if you're down, any fixes that work for you, and when it starts working again.
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

Siri down?
Yes I am having SIRIous issues! I absolutely live using Siri, as I work all day and live to text! Siri helps me do both simultaneously! But today her network is down! WhiteiPhone 4s on Verizon, on wifi and 3G tried both! Restarting didn't help! :(
Mine is down....hasn't worked in more thqan 20 minutes. Worked fine all weekend
It also has been down for me since this morning, regardless of me being on Wi-Fi or Sprint 3G network. I get the same error message as above.
Same here and we're at Duke in NC except went down around 11AM
Yes and with 4 million 4S sold what you think their network would do? Relax and take notes Siri is still a beast and will be alright
Done. ATT on a wifi network. Followed the three steps recommended several times.
mines down. 3G and Wifi on ATT. Tried restarting to no avail. Tried solution I found online (turn off siri then reset network settings then turn siri back on), didn't work either.
Siri is down on Verizon for both 3G and WiFi at the moment it would seem.
Siri was sporadically down for me on Friday when i first got the phone. Today it is definitely down. I hope they are simply upgrading to handle the new influx of users. 25 million new users and the 4 million iPhone 4s users, I am sure they weren't prepared. There is no way to stress test a server for 25 million users...
Down in Toledo Ohio @ 12:30
Siri is down in Toronto Canada (Rogers 3G)
Lol i did exactly that all day, My co-workers loved it..
Looks like it's becoming a new "party app".
VZW - working great.
Works for me on Orange UK 3G network
Down all morning for me... on AT&T 3G or Wifi. Amazing that after just 2 1/2 days, I feel dependent on it already... lost without it!!! I sure hope the server is up and running soon!!
yup, trying to show it off at work and it's failing miserably....
Siri just keeps repeating I can't help you at this time. It won't do voice/microphone texting either.
What's Siri?
Hahah I know I feel helpless without her and it's only been a few days
Atlanta area. Down here for last hour. WiFi and 3G no go for Siri. Frustrating, but hopefully just temporary growing pains.
It seems like the reported issues with iCloud and Siri indicate that Apple may not have enough data center capacity to cope with the crush of iOS 5 users. Take whatever side you wish on the Android iOS issue, its clear that Google's huge lead in building out its global infrastructure provides Google services with a very stable platform. That's not to say there aren't occasional issues with Gmail or other Google services, but they aren't related server capacity side issues.
Wow, jump the gun a bit? It's he service is less than a week old. Let's give it a little while for them to work the kinks out.
I'm not jumping to conclusions... no one knows the nature of any disruptions at this point. All I pointed out that running a tremendous cloud based operation is very resource intensive. Apple is at the beginning stages of doing this, but there are few companies with their technical expertise and deep pockets so they are obviously capable of building an amazing platform. But even the smartest and richest company will have a learning curve.
Meh, Apple's known for not testing out the extent of their technical ideas and how they might falter in the real world. They make nice aesthetics but at times their technical work could use better QA.
There's a reason why when Google releases a new beta service they release it in phases to public access rather than just dumping the whole thing out there at once.
it wasn't working for me and i turned it off and back on and it was fine. on AT&T in KC.
Down for me on Verizon 3G and Wi-Fi as well in Utah.
Just checked Siri via Sprint on Wifi in Arizona and it worked just fine (10:00am local)
Siri works again for me after disabling, rebooting, and then re-enabling Siri.
Mine has been down for a few hrs and just started working. I don't tho k the people restarting things make much of a difference. It's probably more apple figuring out how to handle the 4 million phone load.
Nevermind, it's down again.
I just got off the phone with Apple tech support who told me the entire Siri network is down & they are working on it currently.
Well hopefully when it comes back it will be more reliable. Since I got this phone on Friday, Siri has been able to connect maybe half of the time.
I also wasn't aware Siri was in beta. None of the Apple commericals/demos said anything like that.
It is down in NY for sure. My brother and I are having the same issue. We have 16 and 32 GB models. a black and white both on AT&T. I have tried with WiFi and over 3G and still the same. Re-Booting doesn't do anything. Strange thing is that it was working quite well early this morning.
Oh oh....SIRI has become SELF-AWARE! Judgement day on 11-11-2011.
It's been touch and go all morning. Mostly a no go. It's frustrating when you want to actually use the thing to get work done, dictate a message or email, and then it craps out saying it can't connect to the network. I love Siri when it works, but missing features aside, the current implementation is most definitely beta and often unusable.
Down for me as of this morning!
And now it's back working!
It wouldn't connect to the network yesterday for a few minutes. I went into settings, then siri and turned it off, then turned it back on, and it has worked fine for me since then. Everyone should try that instead of complaining all the time!!
It works fine on wifi but seems to be off and on with 3G. I am on AT&T.
I just hope that updates to Siri are server side and we do NOT have to wait for regular iOS updates in order to see improvements to Siri.
Mine was down to. Does it connect to wifi? I got wifi but it was still saying no network.
I had a few hicups yesterday but now it seems to be working wifi it works great on 3g for at&t i had minor problems and it figures those problems happend when i was showing someone how it works.
I've had trouble with Siri all day, but also had my 3G and WiFi on (AT&T). The fix for me was to turn the wifi off so it could connect to just the 3G and not have to choose a certain connection. If there's bad reception, on comes wifi. Try to keep it to one connection, and it works great.
She also changed her name to Skynet.
Siri seems to be back up at working for me. 3:53pm EST Monday. It was working a little while ago too, maybe 30 minutes ago.
Its still in BETA. Let them get the bugs out. I admit its a nice feature.
Sorry - it's my fault!
I asked "How long is a piece of string?" and "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"
ps - I really did the latter, the response was funny :D
If you examine the data Google delivers every minute of the day it dwarfs the load you just described. There are well over 100 million Android phones, over 200 million Gmail accounts, it answers 3 billion searches PER DAY, serves up 2 to 3 billion YouTube videos PER DAY, 50 million Google+ accounts, provides countless Google Maps and a bevy of other web based products. All this is done by a network of over 1 million huge servers in dozens of data centers across the globe. So perhaps you might want to retract your statement about what Google is set up to do.
pps - Ask Siri to tell you a joke :)
roflcopter - there are hundreds of these nuggets...
"Tell me a story" ...
Was not connecting to the Verizon network in St Lawrence County NY and a reset of network (Apple tech agent suggested) did the trick.
Wow. I am browsing the comments on this page and I can't help but notice how much people defend Apple. "It's in Beta." It must be the high demand for such an awesome product." (Paraphrasing) If this outage was occurring on a Google, Blackberry or Microsoft platform, there would be people with torches and pitch forks at their gates. I am not even sure what is meant by "in Beta". Apple and/or the people on this message board can say that all they want, but it was still released on a production phone to users that don't have a clue what Beta even means. Maybe demand on the network is the issue. That is something any tech company their size has the responsibility to recognize and address beforehand. The question becomes, did they recognize and address it successfully?
Apple releases some great products. From what I have seen of Siri, it is one of those products. But give me a break. They are not flawless in everything they do. It is okay to criticize when it is warranted. I think it is warranted here and on a few other things.
I have no problems with Siri in my home city of Plattsburgh, NY, but in the village where I work (11 miles south of Plattsburgh) Siri can not connect to a network.
SIRI is down this morning....waiting a long time for Applecare -- must be system-wide. Patience. She's overworked and probably just taking a little nap.
Siri is down. First tried to reset, then reboot phone and it's still down. I heard it's from too much traffic. Get the bugs out apple. It's just an expensive iPhone 4 without Siri.
Siri isn't intended to work on the 3G
So, if Siri is going down on me, how come I'm not getting off?
Siri is down again.
What's really annoying is that when Siri goes down, voice commands that work without turning Siri on such as voice dialing and playback control cease to function. I have no idea why that is, but it's really annoying.
Also Apple, if Siri is in beta, why do the commercials feature it?

- Reboot(check)
2."Disable" Siri, reset network settings then "enable" Siri(check)
- Nothing worked to get Siri up and running again(check)
I just got my 4S a few days ago and I must say this is diappointing. What's good about a new feature if it doesn't work when you want/need it to?! It worked fine the first couple of days but for the past 24hrs it says "sorry I'm having trouble connecting to the network". This better be fixed and soon!
Siri is down for me... has been all day. I've tried it on wi-fi and AT&T 3G.
Siri worked great the first 2-3 days, then we were getting messages that it had problems connecting to the network. It popped back in for a night, then for the past few days, Siri does work, but doesn't talk. So we can ask it a question verbally, but instead of Siri talking back, it searches and produces solutions to our question on either Safari or Wikipedia -- but Siri doesn't talk any longer. We are on Verizon in NC -- has anyone else had this "partial" loss of Siri function?
Usage of Siri on Verizon 3G appears to still be down. Anyone know if there is a fix on the way?
it worked all weekend, but is down today- trying to show it off to co-workers. No biggie though, it is beta testing. The thing is they will keep working on the software and it will get better and better.
It's still fun to ask it stupid questions!!! And I like thanking her, she comes up with cool things like "it is my pleasure to serve you", or "your wish is my command".

Mine has been down all day. Tried everything and nothing works to correct. Last Time I spoke to Apple the comment I got from them is "Well you have to understand it in Beta testing at the moment and you have to expect problems as they fix all the bugs" My reply is then stop building your entire advertisement campaign around Siri as it is not working most of the time.
Down in ga

I arrived in Silicon Valley in 1997, in time to witness the dot-com boom. By the end of 1999, the Nasdaq was up around 400% from the time of the Netscape IPO just 4½ years earlier. Palo Alto restaurants were crowded with people talking about their startups and flaunting their paper wealth. While waiting for a table at Buca di Beppo in Palo Alto, I saw a man hit on a woman by pointing to his friend and saying, "Do you know who this guy is?" It turns out he wasn't anyone notable, but he did have pre-IPO shares in a dot-com! That alone, in 1998-1999, was considered success. There was a sense of entitlement and arrogance—that, simply by showing up, you had won.
By 2000, the inevitability of wealth came into question and stocks plummeted. The Nasdaq had its largest single day drop in April 2000, falling almost 10%. It then fell a devastating 75% over the next several years. Fucked Company, a site dedicated to chronicling the demise, had daily reports about layoffs and bankruptcies. Friends who had millions of dollars on paper lost everything, sometimes bankrupted by tax laws that wanted to tax them on gains that had evaporated. People with impressive sounding VP and CEO titles were out of work and moving back into their parents home. The good times ended as quickly as they started.
The people who stuck around Silicon Valley after the crash loved technology, loved building businesses, and didn't care so much about getting rich. Many of the people who were looking to get rich left for finance jobs in New York (yes, they left one bubble and walked right into another).
The era of opulent parties and people bragging about their paper wealth was over. In its place was an era of thrift. It was a return to the garage culture that existed when Silicon Valley first began. People were bootstrapping their companies. Flickr famously avoided outside financing and sold to Yahoo for what at the time seemed like a terrific exit (in retrospect it was a humble amount, about 5% of what Instagram was able to get from Facebook in 2012).
That sense of thrift has receded in recent years, replaced by a mood of unlimited money and easy wins. There is a dangerous sense that arrogance is replacing prudence. Startup salaries have increased 50% from the humble days of 2003. Startup CEOs are asking for $200,000 a year to run a company that has only a few million in the bank and no revenue. Parties are being thrown to celebrate funding announcements rather than product milestones.
Would you spend money this way if you knew raising your next round would be difficult? It's easy to raise money until it isn't. Paul Graham put it best: "Apparently the most likely animals to be left alive after a nuclear war are cockroaches, because they're so hard to kill. That's what you want to be as a startup."

NBC is promoting season five of Celebrity Apprentice as the "toughest season yet," and we can kind of see why. I mean, who would want to mess with the likes of George Takei, Clay Aiken and Debbie/Deborah Gibson?
Oh, wait, there are also a couple of intimidating folks here: Victoria Gotti, Real Housewives of New Jersey's Teresa Giudice and American Chopper's Paul Teutul Sr. Not only do they know their way around reality TV, but they also probably know a guy. And Lou Ferrigno may not be the Hulk anymore, but we wouldn't test him. Also, former Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza was once kidnapped in Venezuela, so running a business or five should be a piece of cake, right?
Also competing for the chance to win back their fame, er, win $250,000 for the charity of their choice are a slew of "Where have they been?" folks: Aubrey O'Day, Arsenio Hall, Tia Carrere, Adam Carolla and Cheryl Tiegs. Magician Penn Jillette, racecar driver Michael Andretti, actress Patricia Velasquez comedian Lisa Lampanelli and the always-entertaining rocker Dee Snyder round out the cast.
"It's amazing the abuse they take and the kind of work they put in," Donald Trump told The Hollywood Reporter. Well, that remains to be seen, Donald. I mean, what counts as "amazing" for reality TV these days?

I have a 16 month old daughter who was born at 32 weeks due to my preeclampsia. I would say that, overall, my doctors are/were very good with recognizing and managing my symptoms. I'm very confused about what I should be doing before TTC this summer. I had some tests done (only because I asked) and I had a vitamin d deficiency but nothing else show up. If you don't mind, what tests did you do before trying again? My doctor told me to have my vit d checked again in 6 months and just "take care." She said that I should call her as soon as I get a positive test to establish baselines and THEN meet with a doctor specializing in mfm. It seems as though the stories I read involve people having a lot more testing and seeing specialists first, Please share your experiences- I am making myself absolutely crazy here. I have to know that I did everything I could before getting pregnant again. I am fairly certain that my doctor will order whatever makes me feel most at ease.
Thank you in advance!

Hazard Community and Technical College, a public community college situated along a busy highway, should have been a safe place for Caitlyn Cornett to meet with Dalton Stidham and exchange their 2-year-old son. But HCTC is a school. There are no safety measures that would have detected the pistol authorities alleged Stidham carried with him that evening, and ultimately used to murder Caitlyn Cornett, along with her uncle and her 12-year-old cousin.
It is said about our system of government that it is a reactionary one. Our lawmakers don't usually act until something happens. But in this instance, who could have foreseen the tragedy that befell the Cornett family on Jan. 15, 2013?
There has been an appropriate response in the Kentucky legislature, however, in the form of a piece of legislation that should be approved immediately.
Sen. Brandon Smith, R—Hazard, filed Senate Bill 141 as a response to that deadly shooting in January. It allows courts overseeing custody cases – like the one Dalton Stidham and Caitlin Cornett were involved in prior to the shooting – the authority to designate what are being defined as "safe child drop-off areas." These are areas that have security measures in place, like metal detectors, where separated or divorced couples who share custody can meet to exchange their child.
Ultimately, we don't know if this bill would have saved the lives of Caitlyn, Jackie, and Taylor Cornett had these safe child drop-off areas been an option for the courts prior to the shooting. But we know that giving judges this option now can save lives in future cases.
It was unthinkable that something like these murders could have taken place in our community, but they did. And while this is something our community will have to live with, it shouldn't be a burden other families and communities have to bear.
Sen. Smith's bill is currently making its way through the legislature. It was approved in the state Senate unanimously with a 37-0 vote. We urge our state's representatives to give this bill similar consideration, and then for Governor Beshear to sign it immediately.

'Holiday Wishes' CD release concert set for Dec. 5Written by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
Music and Make-A-Wish will be the stars of the show at a CD release party celebrating the "Holiday Wishes 2" benefit CD.
The event is set for 6 p.m. Dec. 5 at The Blarney Event Center, 601 Monroe St.
Many of the local musicians and media personalities featured on the two-disc, 44-track CD will perform. There will also be hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar.
Tickets are $5 for adults. Children 12 and younger are free.
"We hope people will join us to meet the musicians, mingle with the Make-A-Wish families and organizers, and just have a great Christmas party," said Michael S. Miller, Toledo Free Press editor in chief and the CD's executive producer. "Last year, we saw Chrys Peterson sing live with Hepcat Revival and Ramona Collins singing Christmas songs with Voodoo Libido. We're expecting even more jam sessions and surprises this year."
Music will start around 6:30 p.m., said Greg Tye of Hepcat Revival, who is organizing the performers. Among other performers will be Chrys Peterson with Hepcat Revival, Kerry Patrick Clark, Kyle White, Krystal Monique, The Wanna Bees, The Sanderlings, Skoobie Snaks, Russ Franzen, Steven J. Athanas, Voodoo Libido and more.
"It's going to be a great selection of talent and we're trying to mix it in as best we can to make the magic happen that night," Tye said. "There will probably be some sort of jam component for those artists who might not be able to have their whole group there. They're all very talented people."
The two-CD set will be available for $15. CDs are also available at area Panera Bread locations, select Levis Commons stores and as digital downloads.
All parts of the project, from the recording to the mixing to the cover art, were done locally. Because the CD was sponsored by GM Powertrain Toledo, UAW Local 14, WNWO, 101.5 The River, A&D Glass & Mirror, Levis Commons and Panera Bread, proceeds go directly to Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana to benefit children in the 21-county Northwest Ohio region.
Last year's inaugural "Holiday Wishes" CD sold out quickly, raising more than $25,000 for Make-A-Wish.
Make-A-Wish, which grants wishes for children with medically life-threatening conditions, does not receive federal, state or local government funding. Wishes are paid for by donations and donations in kind, including gifted airline miles. The average cost of a wish is $8,000.
"We want to grant the heartfelt wish of every child," said Emily Denholm, marketing communications coordinator for Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. "Every wish is different. We really try to focus on the uniqueness of every wish."
Tye said he hopes area residents come out to support Make-A-Wish and hear some great local music.
"I hope people walk away with an appreciation for how talented the musicians and performers are here in town and how passionate they are about supporting a good cause," Tye said. "People will be exposed to some of the premier acts in town. It's an opportunity to hear someone they may never have heard before. It may be a real ear-opening experience."

Consider adding bike paths
In response to a recent letter to the editor regarding the widening of Hitchcock Parkway, I strongly agree that it is unnecessary and definitely a waste of taxpayers' money to pursue the project. I would, however, like to address the comment in the letter that states that the bike path on Pine Log Road is never used.
I am a biker and I use the Pine Log bike path often along with other bikers and joggers. This bike path is designed very well for safety for the bikers and allows good clearance for both the bikers and drivers along this road. In contrast, we have had a number of bike fatalities and accidents because of unprotected roads and highways for the bikers in Aiken County.
If we are forced to accept the widening of Hitchcock Parkway I propose having the bike path installed the entire length of the road for the safety of both riders and the drivers. I also feel that the bike path would enhance Aiken tourism and give bike riders a chance to safely enjoy Hitchcock Woods.
Joseph E. Lofgren

Only 15% reach self-actualization. I wonder how many never get beyond security? More importantly, what constrains those people? As well, we should not mistake people who are busy selling themselves and their limited ideas with anything but the security level.

Department Posts Strong Financial Numbers
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University's Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has completed its unaudited financial records for the 2012-13 fiscal year during which the department had a more than $4.2 million excess of revenues over expenses and costs paid.
The department's revenue was $77,706,696 during the fiscal year, compared to operating expenses of $73,501,593, leaving a positive margin of $4,205,104.
The three largest sources of revenue for the department came from Mountaineer Athletic Club contributions ($23,916,171), ticket sales for all sports ($21,411,615) and conference revenue ($10,354,499).
"Now that our budget numbers are in, I want to say how very pleased and proud I am of our entire athletic department," WVU Director of Athletics Oliver Luck said. "And, I cannot say enough about the job turned in by our Mountaineer Athletic Club staff to reach record-breaking fundraising numbers for the second straight year. I also want to thank the MAC members, who rallied around us and the many fans who purchased tickets to various athletic events. We all know how important it is to have a self-supporting athletic department, and that goal has been reached once again."
The largest operating expense for the department came from compensation ($26,397,507). This line item includes compensation for all coaches, administrators and staff, as well as severance pay. It also includes the accrual for Other Post-Employment Benefits liability as required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 45 and the accrual for vacation and compensatory time. While both items are non-cash expenditures, they must be added to compensation operating expenses to be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Two other additional operating expenses, facility management and student aid, combined to make up an additional 27 percent of the department's costs. Facilities maintenance and repair ($10,669,275) were 15 percent of the operating costs, but this category also includes a non-cash expense of $5,259,824 for depreciation, which must be included to be in accordance with GAAP. Making up 12 percent of operating expenditures was student aid ($8,737,980), which covers expenses paid to the University for 358 student-athletes.
"The financial statements are prepared in the same categories that are used for the Equity in Athletics Data Analysis (EADA) report that is required by the NCAA each year," said Athletic Business Administrator Dia Fortney. "We employ Clifton, Larson, Allen, LLP (CLA) to complete our annual NCAA Agreed Upon Procedures. CLA reviews our financial processes each year to ensure reliability, accuracy and effective overall financial performance by the department."
The $4,205,104 profit comes one year after the department had a deficit of approximately $12.9 million for the fiscal year 2011-12. However, not only did that deficit include non-cash items such as GASB 45 and facility depreciation, but also the one-time exit fee paid by the department to leave the Big East and join the Big 12 Conference.
"Oliver asked all of us to trim our budgets, but do so in a way that would not affect our competitiveness athletically or hinder our student-athletes in the classroom," said Michael Szul, WVU Associate Athletic Director for Business Operations. "The athletic staff worked with the business office to tighten budgets, and along with our MAC donors' generosity, we were able to reach our goal of turning an excess."
A complete list of WVU athletic revenue and expenses for 2012-13 is attached.

The Spa at Charleston Place is hosting its sixth annual "I Will Reflect" Fashion Show and Cocktail Party to promote sun safety in the Charleston area 7-10 p.m. Thursday.
This year's event, dubbed the SPF (Skin. Party. Fashion.) Event, features "I Will Reflect" ambassadors, skin protec-tion tips from the Medical University of South Carolina, a fashion show featuring local designers and retailers, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, and a silent auction.
A donation of $20 is suggested. Proceeds will benefit skin-cancer research at MUSC. RSVP by email to email@example.com.
Since the spa started on the most visible melanoma awareness campaign in the area in 2008, it has raised and donated $30,000 to the MUSC Foundation for skin cancer research through the sales of "I Will Reflect" UV-detection bracelets, special events and other donations, according to Annette Sandford-Lopez, director of the spa and health club.
"The Spa's campaign encourages the public to pledge 'I Will Reflect,' and join the movement to help reduce the impact of melanoma, which is the most serious, often life-threatening form of skin-cancer."
While the fashion show is the highlight of the spa's efforts, it has undertaken other outreach efforts as well in recent years.
This year's effort included getting first-graders at three local schools to compete in a contest for sun safety "superhero" using elements of the "I Will Reflect" campaign in a storyline.
A class taught by Cari James at St. Andrew's School of Math and Science Magnet won for creating "SunnyPants Kid."
Sandford-Lopez says she was "blown away" by all the entries, which included Belle Hall and Laurel Hill elementary schools, but that a panel of judges selected SunnyPants in March.
The superhero will be turned into a short video on sun safety.
"Teaching children to practice sun safety, such as putting on sunscreen, is just another aspect of basic health lessons, such as brushing your teeth," says Sandford-Lopez. "We talk to them about the importance of nutrition and exercise. Sun protection is just one more element of that."

Apple releases iOS 6.1 beta 2 for developers
I was surprised to see iOS 6 supported the iPhone 3GS considering the fact that iPhone 3G couldn't use iOS5. But from the content of this article it seems like iOS 6.0.1 will be the last iOS version for the iPhone 3GS (?)
Edit: Nevermind, seems like iOS 6.1 will support the iPhone 3GS too.
I have a Verizon iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0.1. I've restarted, restored, reset network settings, and forgot and signed back into my wifi and my phone still has a problem where while I am using safari, my phone will lose connection to the wifi. I have to go to settings>wifi and turn it off and back on for my phone to reconnect. If anyone has any ideas to fix this I'd really appreciate it.

- VIDEO: Introducing Gold Leaf Winter Touch Gloves
- Hardworking yet luxurious glove for use in cold or wet conditions

Now, gardeners in the US can enjoy the unmatched durability and legendary comfort of Gold Leaf Gloves. Boasting exceptionally high-quality materials and workmanship, Gold Leaf Gloves stand up to tough tasks yet remain soft and pliable. One of the few select products ever endorsed by Britain's Royal Horticultural Society, Gold Leaf gloves are used by the gardeners at Buckingham Palace!

A Thinsulate thermal lining keeps hands warm even in the coldest weather, and an additional Ski-Dri waterproof, breathable lining ensures hands stay dry, too. They're perfect for winter pruning, snow shoveling and cold weather sports. The gloves start out snug; as you wear them they stretch and conform to the contours of your hand like a custom-tailored glove. Choice of two sizes: Women's or Men's. Women with large hands may want to order the Men's size.

- Dog Walking In Winter
Used these gloves all winter and also for occasional wet jobs around the pond in warmer weather as they are waterproof.
I have average sized hands and although these gloves start off tight they need wearing in like shoes because of the really thick, warm lining which then compacts down with wear.
Hope I'm getting another pair for Christmas!

- Walking the dog
I have very small hands and very few gloves keep them warm. These work. I use them walking the dog who will walk no matter the weather.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Warm while working
Best Uses
- Raking Leaves On Cold Day
- Winter Pruning
These gloves are warm on dry days. They are not a substitute for wool mittens in the middle of winter, but you need the dexterity at times.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Hard to find item
- Insulated Work Glove
- Made in China
Best Uses
- Mild Winter
Although I have the same gripe about these as their uninsulated partners - made in China but GS chooses to only mention England in the description - I give these a tepid "would recommend" since it is so hard to find insulated work gloves that are supple enough to work in. Also, since they're insulated, the price point (for a made in China item) is more appropriate. I think they will stand up to one or two winters of tough use and they are comfortable and not too bulky. But... The one size fits all is nonsense - pretty sure these will only work for people in the middle of the size chart.
- Flexible Warm Dry
Best Uses
- Getting The Garden Ready
- Scraping Frost Off Window
Bought these for my husband and son (who both work on the garden) and ordered an extra pair as a gift for my gardening brother-in law. Everyone was pleased. Wet, cold weather is part of our life in the winter, but chores still need to be done before those first buds appear in the spring!
I have large hands for a woman - 8 1/4" around the base of the four fingers - and so I followed the website instructions and ordered the men's. Big mistake; these winter gloves are huge. I had a man with larger hands than mine try them on. They were large on him too, no chance of the tight fit we are told to expect. Perhaps that does not apply to the winter ones? These are also very bulky so they are unlikely to be of any more use in the garden in winter than any other warm winter gloves you already have at home.
