Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
What are the major types of breast reconstruction available to patients who have had breast cancer surgery?
Rachel McKenna, MSN, CRNP, Nurse Practitioner in the Division of Plastic Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, responds:
There are 3 major types of breast reconstruction. The first is a tissue expander/implant reconstruction. The second uses all your own tissues, typically from the abdomen but can come from your buttock or thighs. The third, less common option is a combination of the 2 methods using your own tissue from the back, the latisimus muscle, plus an implant underneath.

Recent Insole Reviews
Superfeet Copper DMP
Great comfort and stability while hiking in all conditions. I started using these footbeds three years ago when I purchased a lighter weight hiking shoe. These footbeds have carried me all over the Long Trail. Fit: Can be cut to fit any shoe. I did trim the front toe area a little. Comfort: No break in needed. Support: Supports the arch and pads the heel and toe areas nicely. Water Resistance: My lighter hiking shoes do let water in, but these insoles dry quickly, actually don't soak up water so… Full review
Thermo Soles Rechargeable Heated Insoles
I have just bought the ones with control unfortunately. They are not for people with cold feet, so I have wasted my money which is very hard to come by. They do not make my feet any warmer or not so you would be aware of. Cold feet ruin everything I do and nothing seems to help. I have said all I need to say. My feet were freezing before and still are. I wish I had not wasted all that money and would NOT RECOMMEND BUYING THEM. It breaks my heart to waste money and get no benefit. Full review
Superfeet Green
A nice option to have for those who are looking for an insole that provides great arch support. They are MUCH less expensive than shelling out the cash for custom orthotics. I have pretty severe foot problems and the Superfeet Green insoles have allowed me to continue my active lifestyle. Back in 2008, I suffered a pretty bad injury to my left foot, commonly known as a Lisfranc Fracture. It is named after a French doctor who described the injury in 1815 when riders would fall off their horse with… Full review
Sole Softec Response
Sole's Softec Response is a 1.6mm heat moldable insert that creates a "custom fit" to the user's feet. It provides the arch support flat footed hikers need to continue comfortably on the trail. From the moment a user inserts these insoles they will feel the difference. About the reviewer: I am a 190lb, 6'2" male with osteoarthritis in both my knees and flat feet. A year ago I was in physical therapy after wrecking my knees on a 75-mile hike. My therapist told me my flat feet aggravated my arthritis… Full review
Sole Softec Ultra
I have been wearing them for years now. My chiropractor recommended these years ago when I complained of foot aching. He said my foot was going flat and pulling on the nerve. So they give better arch support. I have owned many pairs. I use them in every boot and shoe I have for work and play. They mold nice. I use them right out the box. Very durable. Full review
Superfeet Berry
When you buy a boot, ya gotta buy an insole. The money goes into the boot and not the insole, so it can mean the difference between an adequate boot and a great comfortable fit. Matching up the insole to the boot can be the most critical part of your boot system. I hike in Keens and everything is great, except a couple incidents where I had heel slippage on the ups and toe smacks on the downs. I decided to get Superfeet and was worried about the fact once I got them, I was stuck with them, or I… Full review
Thermo Soles Rechargeable Heated Insoles
Good in theory, bad in practice. I had two sets, both never seemed to work as expected and both sets failed. The Thermo Sole guarantee is 6 MONTHS not 2 years as it suggests on their website. These heated soles seem great "in theory". However, having owned two sets, both failed, I would not recommend them. As they are Thermostatically controlled, you do not have complete control of when they heat, i.e. you can use the remote control to switch them on but they may not actually heat as they will only… Full review
Sof Sole Fit High Arch Insoles
This is someone's great product, but NOT MINE. Painful in arch area (please read review). These insoles felt really great when I tried them at the store, but not for long... I have a very high arch and relatively narrow foot, but these don't work for me. Wearing them becomes painful at the rear of the arch, leading to the front of the heel. I can only imagine they would only hurt more with someone with a wider foot. Perhaps I don't have the highest arch in the world, I'm certain these are meant… Full review
Superfeet Green
The best insole I've found so far... Great fit for a narrow foot with a high arch. I've been very satisfied with the high arch SuperFeet. I think I've worked through about four pair. I keep trying for something better, but have not found that unattainable perfection... yet. In my opinion, give several sessions breaking them in, or they can be a little tough. Allow significant more time if you're beginning wearing high arch insoles!!! I've found they have about a 6 month lifespan before they get… Full review

Just in time for holiday parties, Apple unleashed its iPhone 4S on the masses. This optimist's belief is that Apple was being very considerate in providing hosts and guests alike the perfect party trick: Siri. It certainly provided an hour of entertainment at my last dinner party... although Siri did not answer any of my questions in a satisfactory manner. Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases which allow you to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes with our. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these innovative protection solution accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
Hopefully, Google's up and coming counterpart will have a better sense of humor. Rumor has it that the Android solution which would amp up the capabilities of "Voice Actions" on their smartphones and close the competitive gap that Siri created. AndroidandMe recently reported that the project is referred to by the code name "Majel" and could be released as early as the end of this year. As this technology will amp up smartphone usage even more, customers should be sure to use the latest in hands-free device such as Bluetooth headsets or BlueTooth Car Kits when taking advantage of this technology while driving (especially with amped up holiday patrols and tricky weather conditions).
Along the same lines as Siri, Majel is said to use the same method of conversational speech to issue queries in lieu of having to make use of limited compatible commands. The freshman release doesn't look to allow end-users to control the phone or its installed applications, but that functionality may be in the pipeline for sometime next year. This is great for expanding the scope of hands-free technologies available on the market for both Android and Apple mobile devices. Discover an extensive selection of the latest lithium technology replacement cell phone and wireless devices batteries. Ensure your device is powered by brand name batteries for longer operating life.
For the moment, Majel is still a rumor, but Google's actions all seem to have iOS and Apple in its sights to take down as competition, so… it is likely a very credible rumor. In fact, on Tuesday they announced the acquisition of Clever Sense (the developer of "Alfred," a personal assistant software). We are still vague on whether Alfred (who IS quite similar to Siri) will be integrated into the first Majel launch (we can say with certainty that Alfred will not clean the bat cave or pick up dry cleaning). Enhance your mobility... turn your device into a power tool. Discover select memory and electronic accessories specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
For those Android users who have Siri envy that needs to be assuaged now, there are a couple third party assistant apps available in the Android marketplace (easily found by searching "Cluzee" or "Iris"). Otherwise, keep a running list of all your Majel questions for when it is made available in the coming weeks or months! Break away from long -term service provider contracts... enjoy the freedom of unlocked cell phones.

Pool Fence Laws in Illinois
Public Swimming Pools
The Public swimming pools in Illinois must be VGB Federal Pool and Spa Safety Act compliant.
Signed by the U.S. President Bush on December 2007, the VGB Pool and Spa Safety Act (P&SSAct) has been in effect since December 19, 2008. This code is designed to prevent swimming pool accidents.
The VGB Act established U.S. CPSC standards for pool and spa insurance. Under the law, every drain cover must meet ASME/ANSI A112.19.8-2007 in all public pools and spas. The water facilities which have only one main drain different than an unblockable drain must establish a 2nd device to contend for entrapments.
The fabrication, the trade or retail of drain covers which are not in conformity with the safety measures required by the CPSC is prohibited in USA to ensure that all drain covers accessible in the marketplace are compliant with safety specifications.
Each public pool must set up anti-entrapment drain covers and implement other levels of security such as SVRS or barriers.
A pool contractor should verify that the pool and/or spa is compliant with the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act.
For supplementary info about local safety requirements for private swimming pools, please call your city's building department. Or to get free swimming pool fence quote please call us at 1-888-919-2229 or search for a local installer near you.

Unaccompanied minors
General information
Children 14 and under
- Children under 2 must travel with an adult 16 or older or a parent/legal guardian of any age in the same cabin.
- Children 2 – 14 can travel as an 'accompanied minor' with someone 16 or older.
- Children 5 – 14 can travel as an 'unaccompanied minor' on nonstop flights only and must have our assistance. An additional fee of $150 (plus tax) each way applies. No fee is charged on flights between Charlotte and Brazil.
- Uniformed employees assist from the point of departure to the final destination but are not qualified to provide certain types of medical assistance or administer/dispense medication. On international flights, a US Airways employee will escort the unaccompanied minor to the gate.
Young adults (ages 15 – 17)
- A traveler 15 – 17 is considered a young adult and may travel unaccompanied on nonstop and connecting flights without our assistance.
- When the young adult checks in, we'll make a note in our system so our personnel know that a young adult is traveling unaccompanied.
- A young adult who needs our assistance may travel unaccompanied on nonstop flights only for an additional $150 (plus tax) each way. No fee is charged on flights between Charlotte and Brazil. The Unaccompanied Minor Request for Carriage form must be completed.
- If a flight is delayed or cancelled, we'll make alternate travel arrangements. If a flight is unavailable until the following day, we'll arrange overnight accommodations at the airport with 2 station employees. Travelers under 18 may not stay in a hotel.
Partner airlines
If the flight is operated by an airline partner or codeshare partner, contact the carrier directly for its unaccompanied minor policies. Additional fees may apply.
At the airport
Check-in and required travel documents
You'll need to fill out the Unaccompanied Minor Request for Carriage form at the airport ticket counter on the day of departure. The form must remain with the child during the flight.
Is your child traveling internationally?
When making the reservation, note if you'll be dropping off or meeting an unaccompanied minor. You can obtain a pass at the ticket counter to accompany the child to the gate (U.S. cities only). Please arrive early and plan to stay in the gate area until the child's flight has departed.
If airport security prohibits non-ticketed passengers from entering the gate area, our personnel will accompany the child to the gate.
You must show a government-issued photo ID when you pick up an unaccompanied minor. You can obtain a pass at the ticket counter to meet the child at the gate (U.S. cities only).
If a flight changes or is cancelled, we'll call the person meeting the child and arrange alternate transportation if needed. Otherwise, we'll contact the parent/guardian who escorted the child to the departure airport.
Tips & suggestions
- If the child has not flown before, take a trip to the airport. Point out the identifiable uniforms of our representatives.
- Introduce the child to the agent at the ticket counter and at the departure gate.
- Let the gate agent know if the child has never flown before or if he or she has any condition that may require special attention during the flight.
- Provide the child with proper identification and cash for emergencies. On some flights, meals may be available to purchase.
- Provide materials to keep the child occupied and entertained during the flight.
- Keep carry-on luggage to a minimum. Remind the child of the bags that he or she is responsible for. Put an identification tag with the child's name on all bags. Report any losses to our personnel immediately.
- Arrive at the gate before the scheduled arrival time.
- Remind the child to ask for assistance only from one of our uniformed representatives.

The major health organizations — including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Medical Association (AMA), the American Dietetic Association (ADA), and the World Health Organization (WHO) — agree that breast milk is the ideal form of nutrition for babies (especially during the first 6 months). However, only you can decide what's best for you and your baby.
Whether you've decided to formula feed your baby from the start, are supplementing your breast milk with formula, or are switching from breast milk to formula, you're bound to have questions. Here are answers to some common questions about formula feeding.
Yes. Before the first use, you'll need to sterilize nipples and bottles in a rolling boil for 5 minutes. You can also sterilize them with a store-bought countertop or microwaveable sterilizer, but boiling works just as well and costs nothing.
After that, you'll need to wash bottles and nipples in hot, soapy water (or run them through the dishwasher) after every use. They can transmit bacteria if not cleaned properly.
Prepare your baby's formula by mixing water and the appropriate amount of powdered infant formula. The packaging on the side of the formula container will tell you how much to use. Carefully follow the directions. You can use tepid (room temperature) tap water, as long as your local or state health departments have labeled it as safe to drink.
If you're concerned about your water, you may sterilize it to kill germs. Here's how:
Test to see if the water is cool enough for your baby to drink by shaking a few drops of water on the inside of your wrist. If it stings, it's still too hot. Once water has cooled, don't let it sit longer than 30 minutes before adding it to the formula.
Once prepared, the formula is ready to feed to your baby immediately without additional refrigeration or warming. Formula that's been prepared should be consumed or stored in the refrigerator within 1 hour. If it has been at room temperature for more than 1 hour, throw it away. And if your baby doesn't drink all the formula in the bottle, throw away the unused portion — do not save it for later.
Formula may be prepared ahead of time (for up to 24 hours) if you store it in the refrigerator to prevent the formation of bacteria. Open containers of ready-made formula, concentrated formula, and formula prepared from concentrate also can be stored safely in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
Some babies may actually prefer cold or room-temperature bottles to warm, especially if you start serving them that way from the get-go (which can make things easier for you in the long run).
But if your baby does prefer a warm bottle, remember that the microwave can create dangerous "hot spots" in bottles, so you should never microwave formula.
Instead, you can:
Whichever way you choose to heat your baby's bottles, be sure to shake the bottle vigorously. Then test the temperature of the formula by squirting a drop or two on the inside or your wrist before feeding your baby. It should be lukewarm (barely warm) not hot.
You should always refrigerate any bottles you fill for later feedings to prevent bacteria from growing, as well as any open containers of ready-to-feed or concentrate formula. Throw away any mixed formula after 24 hours and any open ready-to-feed or concentrate formula after 48 hours.
Discard any prepared or ready-to-feed formula that's been sitting out after 1 hour.
No, throw away any leftover formula. There's a chance bacteria may have formed since the last feeding, which could make your baby sick.

Right on the tails of a major week for Microsoft's Windows Phone 8, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that Microsoft may be developing a smartphone of its own to go with its new OS.
The November 2 article, which cites "officials at some of Microsoft's parts suppliers, who declined to be named," says the company is running tests in Asia on their own smartphone, a device measuring between 4 and 5 inches.
However, the article's sources say the company is still undecided as to whether the device in question will ever go into mass production. And, when asked about the phone by the WSJ last week, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer declined to comment.
Still, the possibility is intriguing. Should Microsoft come out with their own handset to accompany Windows Phone 8, it's anybody's guess how that would affect its partnership with hardware partners, like Samsung, HTC, and Nokia. After all, Apple certainly doesn't let competitors use its smartphone OS.
And, if Microsoft really is planning to launch its own mobile device, it would be a complete 180 for them, after years of developing the software and leaving the design up to others.
Even so, as Gizmodo points out, a Microsoft-made smartphone could be a thing of beauty:
"Microsoft's eye for design is keener than ever, and while WinPho is great, it's yet to make the impressions it could. Or even should. A Microsoft phone could change that."
But don't get carried away. Quoting an older article on its own site, Gizmodo cautioned:
"Even if these reports turn out to be totally accurate — and that's far from certain — this does not mean that Microsoft is close to actually making a phone you can buy. It doesn't even mean it ever will. Just that it's developing the hardware, and testing it. That's it."

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Evaluation of Ocular Surface [ Time Frame: Over the course of multiple years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Objectively evaluate the ocular surface (pre-corneal tear film) of individuals prior to and after an intervention (such as a dry eye treatment, environmental change, artificial tear use, or contact lens wear) in a controlled-environmental chamber, over time using non-contact instruments.
|Study Start Date:
|July 2010
|Study Completion Date:
|January 2014
|Primary Completion Date:
|January 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
Other: Patient-directed or physician-recommended interventions.
These interventions may include obtaining baseline data (prior to the intervention) and data after the intervention that may be performed at one or more visits. The subject's physician may recommend performing a dry eye treatment, such as wearing moisture retaining goggles, performing lid massage, using compresses or scrubs, or taking a nutritional supplement. The subject may decide to begin a homeopathic intervention such as water misting, humidifier use or exposure to an herbal scent. The subject may perform the intervention for a period of time and then come to the research site for measurements or may perform the intervention at the study site so measurements are timed close to the intervention. The study duration is one or two visits in one day each lasting about one hour. Depending on the intervention a second visit may be requested on the same day, for example, to determine if the effects of lid massage are effective for 6-8 hours.Other: Environmental Chamber Condition Change Intervention
For condition change studies, the chamber will operate between 65 and 85 degrees F and 25% and 80% RH with air flow turned off or set to a maximum of 3-4 m/s. For this type of study, we will have the subject acclimate to a set of environmental conditions (approximately 20-30 minutes) and take a set of measurements. Then we will change the conditions (rate of change is 3 degrees F/hour and 3% RH/hour), have the subject acclimate to these conditions (later on the same day or on another day) and take another set of measurements. The expected study length is approximately two hours for a single visit. Subjects may be asked to return for additional visits to accommodate a variety of chamber conditions (temp, humidity, airflow) within the prescribed limits above.Drug: Eye Drop Intervention
This type of intervention will require a screening exam to confirm the subject's eye condition and suitability for study. These studies use FDA-approved over-the-counter eye drops, artificial tears or saline (dilute solution of salt water) used as indicated by the FDA. Dispensing will use a new single use container or separate bottle for each subject. We will instill one drop in the eye. The study length is one visit lasting a maximum of two hours.Other: Contact Lens Intervention
A screening exam is required to confirm the subject's eye condition and suitability for study. We will have experienced lens wearers wear their own lenses or wear the same type of lenses (soft or rigid gas permeable [RGP]) within the FDA approved modality (daily, continuous or extended wear) and replacement cycle (for example, daily, one week, one month, etc.) as described in the lens package insert and/or prescribed by their eye care provider. We will take measurements of the subject without the lenses, have the subject insert the lenses, wait about five minutes for the eye to settle down, then take another set of measurements. The subject will then leave the site and return for a second visit at 6-8 hours of wear for an additional measurement and a final measurement five minutes after removal of the contact lenses. Each visit may take a maximum of one hour. If the subject did not wear his/her own pair of contact lenses, the subject will return the lenses.Other: Non-Interventional
We are interested in obtaining information about your current eye status with no or only a slight behavioral change. For example, we may ask you to blink in a certain way, such as with your normal blink rate, or with a more or less frequent blink than your normal rate. Or we may ask you to perform an everyday task, such as reading a book or watching a monitor. These tasks are considered non-invasive as they are tasks individuals might perform during the day to relieve dry eye symptoms.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 89 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Individuals with dry eye diagnoses (aqueous deficient dry eye [ADDE], and/or evaporative dry eye), dry eye symptoms (as associated with Sjogren's Syndrome diagnosis), refractive surgery, contact lens use, and exposure to dry work environments are appropriate to correlate clinical tests, subjective responses and objective measurements of current ocular surface status and to study clinically-recommended or patient-directed dry eye treatments such as taking dietary supplements, wearing moisture-retaining goggles, performing lid massage, or using over the counter eye drops or artificial tears.
- Individuals who do not currently have dry eye symptoms but who may be at risk for dry eye diagnosis, and those who have dry eye symptoms but no clinical dry eye diagnosis, are of interest to correlate clinical tests, subjective responses and objective measurements of current ocular surface status and, if symptoms appear or worsen, to correlate the data with the effect of environmental condition changes, such as increasing the humidity or reducing air flow, on the ocular surface.
- Individuals who have undergone ocular surgery are at increased risk for dry eye. While some subjects who have had ocular surgery may never develop dry eye symptoms because they have an adequate reserve of tear production, others may develop symptoms as a result of the disruption of the ocular surface, including the anatomy and nerves. Subjects who have had surgery or procedures and are no longer being provided with direct post-operative care may participate in the study. Routine follow-up post- operative care does not disqualify subjects from participation. Subjects who are receiving post-operative care must obtain approval of their clinician to participate in the study.
- Individuals who have eye conditions that affect the shape or condition of the cornea, such as individuals with keratoconus.
- Experienced contact lens wearers are appropriate for studies that use their own lenses (soft, rigid gas permeable [RGP], hard [PMMA]) or the same type of lens within the FDA approved modality (daily, continuous or extended wear) and replacement cycle (for example, daily, one week, one month, etc.) as described in the lens package insert and/or prescribed by their eye care provider to investigate ocular surface data before, during and after lens use.
- Normal individuals, those without a dry eye diagnosis, without dry eye symptoms or those who do not wear contacts to act as controls for the focus areas in the studies.
Exclusion Criteria:
Individuals with eye or medical condition(s) that contraindicate performing screening or measurements will not be eligible for this study. Specific examples include:
- Individuals will not be dilated if an exam and/or medical history indicted they have a narrow anterior chamber angle, glaucoma, or other contraindications to dilation (like arterio-sclerotic cerebrovascular disease).
- Individuals with the following will not participate in contact lens studies: presence of ocular or systemic allergies or disease (infection), clinically significant (grade 3 or 4) corneal edema, corneal vascularization, or any other abnormalities of the cornea, tarsal abnormalities or bulbar injection or use of medication that might interfere with contact lens wear.
- Individuals will not participate in any aspect of the study if: they are pregnant or become pregnant or are lactating, have an infectious disease (e.g. hepatitis, tuberculosis) or have an immuno-suppressive disease (e.g. HIV).
- Individuals with known sensitivity to dyes or to numbing drops will not be screened using these agents.
- Individuals who wear dental braces cannot be involved in the measurements in which a dental impression/bite bar is required. The impression material will stick to the braces. Individuals with very sensitive teeth or loose dentures may have difficulty making the dental impression.

Love this money clip
My boyfriend has this clip and loves it. You can't find any other clips that are like it (usually magnetic or have metal on them). This is classic and simple. It can hold cards and cash. The leather on his old one did wear out over time but for the price and quality you can't beat it. Just plan to replace it after a year or two. Would recommend it to anyone. Great price for a great product.

Money clip
I have used these money clips for over 10 years. There is no other as good as these are, I have tested others, they always lose their hold. With this one, you can fill it thick to include credit cards and money as I do and it will hold up tension forever . The leather may even may rip and come off after getting wet a lot and over time, I'm a little rough with it probably, but I have a couple old ones I keep without the leather on it backup. I probably go through one a year as far as the leather wearing out from over abuse, but they are the best for me and amazing as far the only clip I have found over the years with metal that keeps its spring no matter how much I stuff in it or how little I have in it!

All these new gadgets are getting me excited, because when Bill Gates does something, he'll does a damn good job!
Bill Gates is coming to your living room, whether you like it or not.
Microsoft's chairman is setting the company on a course to provide software and tools that will allow different forms of entertainment to blend. Messaging will become a crucial part of Xenon, the code name for the next Xbox. Games will also try to reach a broader audience. In addition, Microsoft will work with television outlets like the Discovery Channel and MTV Networks to create tools for delivering content, as well as advertising, into the home.
At the same time, Microsoft will continue to raise the stakes against Apple in the music industry and Google and Yahoo in search.
Meanwhile, Microsoft Research is working on ways to lower the cost of getting people in emerging nations hooked on the Internet. One idea: mesh networks that will let several families share connections.
Gates spoke with CNET News.com on the eve of his keynote speech at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas about Microsoft's consumer plans, the convergence of entertainment technologies, and why he hasn't done a blog yet.
Q: The industry's been talking about convergence for years. The first products have come out, so what's next? Interoperability, is that the next challenge?
A: Well, there's a lot of that going on. For us the key convergence product is the Media Center PC, which is the idea of that single remote control giving you the best TV experience, music, photos, but also the full power of the PC and we've got lots of partners who keep signing on to Media Center and doing neat things. We'll show some Discovery Channel stuff in the keynote. We have a new relationship with MTV where they're using our rights management and formats and we're connecting it to the Media Center.
And so there is growing momentum with partners, growing momentum with the hardware. The price of Media Center PCs came down a lot, which is partly why we were able to double our sales this holiday. We've got some new remote controls from Phillips and others.
And so you fill out the ecosystem, you get the people who install these systems to understand how they do the customization, you get the word of mouth going and so I'd say we feel great about where sort of the centerpiece convergence device is and the peripheral things happening around it.
How are the different entertainment and media industries going to be affected by these changes. For instance, it seems like advertisers are really impacted.
Well, there's a thing that we can do for the advertisers that is critical for them, which is to allow the advertising to be targeted. And so you've seen with our IP TV effort, people like SBC signing up for that, we've got Bell South as a new announcement of a partner there. With that infrastructure, even for people watching the same show, you can insert just in a perfect way an ad targeted to that individual.
And the value of targeted advertising is really twofold. First, it means the person is less likely to want to skip the ad and second of all, the chance that they'll actually do something, buy something is dramatically improved as well.
And so the new TV infrastructure will be about very targeted advertising. Advertising is taking on new forms. Obviously in the search space we're doing neat things with advertisers. No doubt it's not going to stay the same as it is today.
What changes does this mean for Microsoft? Do you see yourself becoming, let's say, more of a seller of content?
Well, the most explosive piece of content this holiday season was Halo 2. We sold 6.3 million copies, we've had 69 million hours of online game play. And so is Microsoft a content company? Well, I'd say, you know, Master Commander is good, people have talked about how the story made them cry; that's content but it's also software.
The boundary there has always been a bit of a gray boundary. Our main role is to provide the platforms and the tools and simply partner with the content people like MTV and let them do what they're good at. It's mainly in this interactive realm that we need to come in and do some complete content ourselves.
Will there be much of a push at Microsoft will to sell third party content like muskc, or is it always going to be a smaller part of you?
Well, I don't think -- you know, we've said that having the music platform there is just part of the overall online relationship that we want to have with these customers. In and of itself, it's not going to be a big source of a profit because there will be lots of people with stores out there, but then in terms of making it simple, having it work on all the devices, work with all the stores, that is important to us. The Windows ecosystem is the ecosystem that provides variety.
Apple is doing things the way Apple does where it's the Apple hardware and the Apple store, that's great for them; we're doing it the Windows way where you've got things like this Creative Zen Micro that sold out this holiday season. This brings the photo capability in and it's a very attractively priced device. So the variety story is an important one for us, it uses our rights management format, it supports a subscription approach that we think can be a significant part of online music sales.
What do you think of Apple's success so far? I mean, they clearly have had a hit with the iPod.
Absolutely. They had a hit with the Apple II, they had a hit with the Macintosh and they have a hit with the iPod, so this is a company that's had three hits and that's very impressive. There are a lot of companies that don't have three hits. And in the same way that Macintosh helped get people exposed to graphical user interface, the iPod is doing a great job getting people to think about digital music. In the long run there will be a lot of people making digital music players and we think there will be a very different market share with dozens and dozens of companies and other than Apple, all those player makers are signing up to work inside the Windows PlaysForSure ecosystem.
There's a big debate over whether games will surpass movies and TV as a bigger portion of revenue in the entertainment industry. What do you think will happen?
Well, there are a couple things to look at. Instant messaging will go from just being a text thing to also being voice and video and music, so instant messaging, particularly for young people but in general is very, very explosive.
And Xbox Live is really talking to your friends, doing things with your friends. And as we bring in new gaming titles that are more approachable, appeal to different demographics, the boundary between what's gaming, what's socialization and what's communication, you will have really broken down the barriers there.
We can make these hot, super great graphics games something that are easy for people to use. That's a big initiative we have as we move to the next generation of Xbox. Likewise, the connection between the Xbox Live and our Messenger work, our communications on the PC, making that really simple so people can say, "Hey, come and play," "Oh, okay, I'm finishing my homework, I'm almost done, I'll get on and play with you." And so even as they're connected up to each other they don't think of, "Oh no, now I'm gaming, now I'm communicating."
What are some of the primary goals with Xbox 2?
Broadening the market, having media capabilities that when there's a PC we connect up to that. This whole story of the Windows Media Connect and how all the formats and rights management and that simple Media Center menu that's just got TV, photos, music right there, those are common elements we're bringing to all the home devices.
We didn't do Xbox just to do a video game, we did it to be part of our vision of the digital lifestyle, and with the next generation, we really get to go there. In the first generation we had one simple goal, which was to establish credibility as a great videogame platform. We've done that. Actually the last few months in the U.S. we outsold Sony with the PlayStation. So even though they have the biggest installed base, we are a very strong, credible number two in that. As we go into this next generation, it's much broader.
Yes, great videogaming but videogaming for a broader set of people, more communications, more media, more connectivity at the same time we move up to things like high definition graphics and wireless that the chip breakthroughs allow us to get there. So just the games alone you'd go wow, but the concept now of bringing in your music, your media, connecting to the PC, connecting Xbox Live to Messenger, that just makes it a very big deal that --
It's a full entertainment center basically.
That's right. So Media Center PC and Xbox become totally complementary. You've seen a bit of that where we let you take music from PCs and put it into game titles and we have this extender concept where the Media Center can project through the Xbox, but that's just the start of what we can do there.
One thing that's kind of intriguing in Xbox 2 is you're participating a little more on the design of the silicon.
That's right.
Is it to improve performance or--
Well, we have some key partners that we've announced. ATI and IBM are the key chip partners and there are some others. But I'd say our sophistication is much higher in this second generation. So every level, what we're doing in tools, what we're doing in Live, the way we're working with the publishers, the way that we've gotten involved in the hardware design, at some point this work, we're being very coy about when and all that but I'm certainly excited when it comes time to show at how much smarter we are getting to do it a second time with the team that's been built there.
Any interest in handhelds?
We are not in the handheld space. We watch the intense competition of Sony, Nintendo, Nokia, whoever comes along with interest. Our portable gaming will be focused on things like getting onto the phones, getting onto portable PCs but our Xbox team is focused on the console, the TV-connected console. And the fact that Sony's a little distracted with that may let us do all the better in the next generation.
One of the big phenomena of the year has been blogging. Has the growth surprised you?
Well, actually I think the biggest blogging statistic I know, which really blew me away, is that when we just went into the data, the Spaces capability that's connected up to Messenger that now we've got close to a million people setting up blogs.
Now, blogs, you always have to be careful. The decay rate of I started and I stopped or I started and nobody visited is fairly high, but as RSS has gotten more sophisticated and value-added search capabilities have come along, this thing is really maturing.
And we've done some things in Japan and Korea that are unique blog experiments. The Spaces things is a worldwide effort. It's a great phenomena and it's sort of built on e-mail and so we need to integrate more blogging capability into the e-mail world and as we do the next generation of Outlook you'll see that. We need to integrate it more into our SharePoint, which is our collaboration Office platform, and then, as I discussed, MSN is embracing it so that instead of thinking about, okay, I go to one community to do photos, one community to do social networking, one community to do this, we say, hey, off of Messenger, which has got your buddy list already, then let's let you do the photos and the social networking and everything but started in an integrated way off of messenger.
Which ones do you read, if any?
Well, it's interesting, I get a lot of people -- and this is very typical for me -- I get people who are forwarding things on to me, so I sort of have human search engines that will say, hey, there's a particular thing that's hot and that's interesting.
I just type in various keywords. We have a lot of blogs that are just internal to Microsoft where people are completely open about, hey, what's going on with this, what's going on with that.
I've toyed with doing one myself but I don't want to be one of those people who start and then don't finish it, and again I'm thinking maybe I could do one a month or one every six weeks, something like that. I'd kind of like to but I've got to be sure I can keep going for at least a year to make it worth doing.
Firefox and Linux browsers seems to be growing--
Well, it's not a Linux browser, it's just a browser.
Correct, but other browsers are making market share gains. When does this become a problem or an issue for you guys?
Well, people get confused about browsers. You can have as many browsers as you want on your PC, just like you can have tons of music players and things like that. In the world a few years ago people tended to have multiple browsers on their machine. AOL had a unique browser, actually MSN took the IE browser and did some unique things with it. Then IE was so relatively strong compared to everything, it achieved some greater than 90 percent type share.
So when people say Firefox is being downloaded onto people's systems, that's true, but IE is also on those systems. Firefox is new, people are trying it out. There's a certain percentage of people who do that, it's very easy to download.
We need to keep IE the best. We need to innovate in IE, do more add-ons, do improvements. We have some very exciting plans there. Some percentage of users are going to try Firefox and IE side by side, use the one that's best.
So no big problem, it's not people have stopped using IE, it's just we've got lots of good ideas that can match and move ahead.
In terms of our agility to do things on the browser, people who underestimated us there in the past lived to regret that.
But some people have left because of security issues.
Well, no one invests more in security of their browser than what we do on IE. The key message we have for people is they should turn on auto update because if you turn on auto update, without you having to think about it and go through a bunch of user interface or know about this or that or the other thing, you can know that there are hundreds of very smart people who are constantly improving your browser and making sure that you're safe. And so with auto update and IE you're getting the top security team and the quickest response team that there is anywhere.
Now onto the Google question. Why do you want to compete or does Microsoft want to compete against them? If you look at MSN last quarter, their operating income was 77 million. It's more than I make, but it's a minor portion of what Microsoft's overall income is. Does Microsoft want to build up MSN to be a general search engine?
Absolutely. We've been in the search business even before Google was around. The commitment we made is to build unique search technology across the board. And if you look at the Microsoft Research things that we've had breakthroughs in, natural language, document analysis, personalization, image analysis, language translation, our research agenda will allow us to take today's search from ourselves and Google and make what we have today look like a joke. And a lot of that will be built into applications like built into Office, built into the Windows shell. I see our desktop search offering, I think every review I've seen has rated it far better than what Google is coming out with.
When you get to Longhorn it will even have deeper integration and we'll have the same index format. So anybody who wants a smooth transition to Longhorn where you don't have dual indexers and everything, the commitment we're making at our desktop search is that same indexing, same format and we'll make that very smooth for people.
So we want to compete on the desktop because that's a key innovation area for Windows, we want to compete in the cloud because we think the competition between ourselves and Google and Yahoo will improve things.
If we thought somebody was doing the best possible job that could ever be done in search and there wasn't some big revenue out there, maybe we wouldn't do it, but quite to the contrary, whether it's understanding maps or virtual worlds or document analysis, today's search is nothing and we've got the software technology that will drive it to those new levels, as well as being a very significant business.
It sounds like the next step in search might be audio and video. Is that--
Oh, sure, everybody is working on those things, but just take the idea of finding your local pizza place and doing that right; search doesn't do that well today. Search is really crummy today; it's just that it used to be really crummy and now it's better and there never was anything like this before. So most of the results people get back to day are irrelevant results, so it's not just in the new media in sort of search as we know it today. Deep analysis can take us much further and that's why we're investing a lot and you'll see us more very rapidly.
I'm wondering too as you look forward 10, 20 years from now, what are the big problems that technology industry really needs to focus on?
Well, the technology business provides tools of empowerment, tools to let people be creative, to communicate, and there's no end in sight and certainly a decade's worth of work to make the ease of use and the power of these tools better. If you just think about meetings and the ability to record the video and the audio of the meeting, create a transcript, notify people, have them see the parts that they care about, it's crummy today and that's solvable.
When people want to manage a project with many companies involved, keeping data confidential, tracking and knowing what's going on, that's very crummy today compared to what it can be.
We with our Office franchise are committed to making workers far, far more productive than they are today. And believe me, we're not running out of ideas. The phone is inefficient today with phone tag, busy signals. E-mail is inefficient today with seeing stuff that's less relevant and how you organize it, bringing in the blog type capabilities is very important there. Plenty of room to do dramatic horizontal innovation that will drive productivity in every sector of the economy. Whether it's scientific discovery, healthcare, engineering, marketing, sales, you name it, the tools around Windows and Office are not even half of what they will be.
If you take that and map that into the home, that's where you get the idea of movies, music, games. There again we're not even half way to what we can deliver in that digital lifestyle.
This year there is a big push to make cheap computers for emerging markets. How is that going to have to evolve? A $300 computer is still going to be too expensive for many probably in Russia, India and things like that.
Well, that's not really true. The expensive thing is the connectivity. Getting Internet connectivity is expensive. If all they had to do was pay for the computer $300 and the communications was free, then we'd see PC usage would be very, very big. Ironically, communications costs tend to be highest in developing countries. So you need to do shared PCs through cafes or community centers. We're doing a lot of so-called mesh networking research that could use wireless spectrum to try and bring those connectivity costs way, way down and that's where you really see widespread computing breakthroughs.
The hardest thing by far is communications, then the hardware costs. We can make sure the software cost is never really holding things back, that it's a small enough percentage. In educational things we do a lot of software giveaways. We've been very generous to make sure that people when they first come into computing that software doesn't hold them back.
That's interesting the mesh because that way people can actually share a connection (off mike).
Yeah, the hard thing is the back haul of the Internet out of the village. Within the village, sure, you can mesh that up but if people are going to be streaming video you need quite a bit of capacity there. So it's not a simple problem to solve; we've got actually multiple research locations at Microsoft working together on this mesh thing and we've had a lot of conferences working with third parties, so we're optimistic that that's the thing that can solve the thing that holds back developing world computing.
In recent years there's been a lot of people clamoring to reform and restrict intellectual property rights. It started out with just a few people but now there are a bunch of advocates talking about we've got to look at patents, we've got to look at copyrights. What's driving this and do you think intellectual property laws need to be reformed?
No, I'd say of the world's economies there's more that believe in intellectual property today than ever. There are less communists in the world today than there were. There are some new modern day sort of communists who want to get rid of the incentive for musicians and moviemakers and software makers under various guises. They don't think those incentives should exist.
And this debate will always be there. I'd be the first to day that the patent system can always be tuned, including the U.S. patent system. There are some goals to cap some reform elements. But the idea that the U.S. has led in creating companies, creating jobs, because we've had the best intellectual property system, there's no doubt about that in my mind, and when people (like Europe ?) talk about they want to be the most competitive economy, the first thing you've got to fix, you've got to have the incentive system and intellectual property is the incentive system for the products of the future.
All these new gadgets are getting me excited, because when Bill Gates does something, he'll does a damn good job!
True, but it's not billy, it's his deep pocket that makes things pretty decent. If I had that kinda budget, I'd make cool things like this too.Originally posted by Waka-Gashira@Jan 5 2005, 09:26 PM
because when Bill Gates does something, he'll does a damn good job!
So would I. He also has about over 50,000 staff members.
of course, the immense amount of resources will make it my choice.
EDIT: Holly smokes, did anyone noticed Billy's favorite word? "thing". I counted a total of 32 occurences of bill saying "thing" or "things" in this single interview. I've even read him saying, this thing will fix that thing.... :huh:
32 occurences is only the word "thing" or "things", not the word "nothing" or "something".
The next big thing: Wal*Mart and Microsoft hold hands while taking over the world.
lol Microsoft cars... that joke will come true, ya know.
:lol: Microsoft Aged Scotch. This should be a game, posting the next thing Bill Gates will come out with.

2-On-Your-Side's Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana of the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle discuss the Bills 35-34 loss to the Tennessee Titans Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
The Bills defense continues to give up massive chunks of yardage. Tennessee's Chris Johnson ran for 195-yards and two touchdowns. The Bills were able to score 34-points, but thanks to a key interception from Ryan Fitzpatrick late, and two key breakdowns on defense, the Titans were able to win scoring a touchdown on 4th and 9 from the Buffalo 15 yard line late in the fourth quarter.
WGRZ and the Rochester D&C continue to join forces in covering the Bills this season.

Last night, rookie infielder Jordany Valdespin hit a three-run pinch-hit home run off Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon in the ninth inning to give the Mets to a 5-2 win.
"I feel very happy," Valdespin told WFAN after the game. "When I saw Nickeas hit, I thought, 'I can do it. I'm the man right now.' He made a mistake, and I hit the ball well."
Before yesterday's game, the team put Ruben Tejada on the 15-day disabled list, after which Terry Collins said Valdespin would start at shortstop today.
"He is an extremely talented young player," Collins said last night. "So we're going to run him out there tomorrow. … I know he'll handle himself great."
Last month, during an interview on WFAN, Collins acknowledges that Valdespin is viewed by people as being a bit cocky.
"He's got one of those attitudes that we need to make him understand what it takes to play at this level," Collins said. "But, our veterans will keep him in line."
Last night, Collins told reporters that Valdespin has 'handled himself well,' since being promoted to the big-league roster.
Personally, I could care less. I like bold and brash with a dash of arrogance, so long as it's on my favorite team, and so long as the player produces. In fact, I'll probably like the guy better if he's got some flare, like Jose Reyes had, like Pedro Martinez had, like the 1986 team had, and like Rickey Henderson perfected. Sure, there can also be players like Lastings Milledge, who got under the skin of veterans and traditionalists, but that becomes so much worse when you're not playing well.
It's worth noting that Valdespin seemed nothing but humble in his post-game interview on SNY, WFAN and ESPN, as well as in his talk with reporters after the game. In fact, when talking to Kevin Burkhardt, he nearly had a tear in his eye when dedicating the home run to his mother.
The point is, I'm not a big believer in the play-the-game-the-right-way mantra. I watch sports to have fun and, while I respect tradition and professionalism, a little show-boating can also make things more fun and exciting sometimes. I know last night was just one hit (albeit a huge hit), and he's only 1 for 7 since being called up. But, I hope he plays more, and I hope he's eventually awesome, because he seems like a fun player and someone I would really enjoy rooting for.
To see Valdespin's three-run home run, watch this highlight on MLB.com.

Blazers on Ducks: 'It's a big opportunity to make history'
Many in the country have their eyes on next Monday's biggest prize in college football, the BCS National Championship game. Some members of Portland Trail Blazers are no exception.
Marcus Camby said he will be rooting for the Ducks to beat the Tigers. "They have been winning all year long and winning impressively. Being down at half and blowing teams out in the second half. I am just a homer."
Rudy Fernandez said the first football game he watched was an Oregon match-up. The Spaniard added, "It's a big opportunity to make history."
