Dr. Eric M. Gracer's Ratings
I've been Dr. Gracer's patient for a couple of years and finally got my act together to leave the practice. For my annual physical exams, his staff never fails to try to bill the insurance as a regular office visit. And I always receive a bill in the mail for a "co-pay". If they had coded the visit correctly, there would be NO co-pay. What a waste of my time to have to call their billing department every time to get this correctly. The doctor is OK, but it's not worth the hassle to have to deal with his incompetent staff.

Dr. never really gives you a diagnosis, just walks around it. His assistant that answers the phone is always snotty and not very helpful. I feel like I am a bother when I call for an appointment. The Dr. makes my family feel we come in for every little sniffle which is not true. No Dr. should make you feel this way.

I like Dr. Gracer, he is concerned about your well being and will always call you either at home or work if you have any questions. He is always on time. The only set back is his administative/assist staff. They almost seemed bothered when you call for the Dr.

I have read the negative comments and they must be seeing a different doctor. Dr. Gracer is fantastic, always on time and takes the time to find out what is wrong. He had never hesitated in referring me to a specialist when needed.

I've been seeing this doctor for years and am currently looking for another one. His medical knowledge is shamefully limited. I've been misdiagnosed twice--once he wanted me to start taking a strong medication FOR LIFE for something he didn't even test for and had none of the characteristics of the disease. Thank God I convinced him to give me a referral to a specialist (which he did very grudgingly). The specialist looked at it and the first thing he said was 'you don't have xxx.' Don't see this doctor. His favorite thing to say is "common things being common, you probably have....' and then he names some common illness that vaguely resembles your symptoms. Pathetic.

Dr. Gracer is professional, always willing to answer questions, discuss treatment options and refer out when necessary. I feel he cares for me and my family and does his best for us. His treatment and diagnosis has always been sound, as far as we can tell. Highly recommended.

How do you get rid of a fatty liver? That is the one of the first questions one asks when being diagnosed with fatty liver. That is, of course, if you are clear on what fatty really is. Many doctors are being rather vague about it – and the main reason for that is that there is no miracle cure to fix you and your liver once the condition has developed. You will need strong will and patience and you will need to accept from the start that your life will have to change for the treatment to work.
The best way to understand the fatty liver treatment is to understand how fatty liver starts. And how do you get rid of fatty liver? The best method is to understand how the sickness works, how you act against it and how the treatment works to heal you. So, here are some pointers on that.
How does fatty liver happen?
The liver is the organ in our body that pretty much filters toxins. Whenever we eat something that our body cannot use, it is being taken to the liver for filtering. Problems occur with your liver when too much of that is being thrown at it and it eventually becomes clogged with toxins that it's supposed to eliminate. Most of the time, this is what the fatty liver disease originates from. So when you ask yourself: "how do you get rid of a fatty liver?" you have to take into consideration how the disease started in the first place.
The problem with fatty liver is that it starts a bit of a vicious circle. Basically, what happens is that your liver, being clogged with fat and other toxins, is becoming less and less efficient in filtering everything – which means that there will be more and more toxins and fat deposited in it. Because of this, it is much more difficult to escape fatty liver than to prevent it from developing. The worst part is that in most cases, by the time you acknowledge that you have fatty liver (symptoms start showing rather late) the sickness is usually already installed and difficult to reverse.
But once fatty liver has installed, how do you get rid of a fatty liver?
The first step is understanding what has caused the fatty liver in your case. Specialists split fatty liver in two categories: alcoholic and non-alcoholic. In the case of alcoholic fatty liver, the condition is started by excessive alcohol consumption, and the main course of action is, obviously, giving up alcohol. In the case of non-alcoholic fatty liver, the usual cause is an unbalanced diet that includes too many saturated fats, sweets and other toxic substances. How do you get rid of a fatty liver in this case? You start a strict diet with healthy food, including vegetables and proteins, and you avoid the foods that have hurt your liver in the first place.
Is there no other way to cure fatty liver?
There are various other things that will help you cure fatty liver. But if what you want to ask is "how do you get rid of a fatty liver without a diet?", there's not much of an answer that can be offered. In truth, there are ways in which your fatty liver diet can be made easier and the treatment duration can be shortened – but as long as your liver continues to be bombarded with toxic substances, it will keep on failing. You will need to give it a little bit of rest.
Are there times when you can develop fatty liver without having the wrong diet? It is unlikely, but, unfortunately, it is possible. As Dr. Alfred Pischinger discovered, dieting is sometimes not enough to cure fatty liver, because sometimes the diet is not what is causing it. So how do you get rid of a fatty liver that was not caused by a faulty diet? Your best bet will probably be the Fatty Liver Bible & Ezra Protocol, a treatment that also addresses the other causes (other than alcohol consumption and bad diets) that could have caused fatty liver.
How do you get rid of a fatty liver using the Ezra protocol?
The protocol is a pretty new development in the world of fatty liver and it is very likely that most doctors will not be aware of it or recommend it. It is, indeed, different from what is generally practiced, but it is highly effective: Ms. Debra Elkin, the author, reported being healed in an amazing two months (treatment for fatty liver can last as much as two years).
But if this is not a commonly practiced method, where does one find the necessary information? Luckily, nowadays the Internet is a great source for just about everything, and Ms. Elkin has decided to share with everyone the miraculous way in which she was healed. All you need to do is search for the Fatty Liver Bible online.
But how do you get rid of a fatty liver by just reading a book? You may be skeptical that this is possible, but it is. The Fatty Liver Bible is created in a simple way so that even people who are not specialists in the field can understand and apply what it says. But just in case that still doesn't work for you, Ms. Elkin understands the fact that you may need help, so she offers consultancy to anyone who ordered the book, without charging anything for it. You will have the simple necessary facts in the book and any necessary additions will come straight from Ms. Elkin herself. As a former sufferer of fatty liver, she understands all that the disease entails and what it causes.
Fatty liver is a difficult disease and you will require a strong will to reverse it, but do not despair: it can be done. Just ask the right question: "how do you get rid of a fatty liver?" and prepare yourself to start the treatment.

Bulloch County is named for revolutionary leader Archibald Bulloch, who came to Georgia from South Carolina in the late 1750s.
At that time, the Province of Georgia had been divided into eight parishes by a March 17, 1758, act of the colonial Georgia Legislature. The parishes were St. Paul 's, St. George's , St. Matthew's, Christ Church 's, St. Philip's, St. John's, St. Andrew's and St. James'. Mr. Bulloch, who held a plantation along the Savannah River, was a prominent figure in the resistance to the authoritative rule of the British Parliament. Under the threat of British hands and sympathizers, he signed a July 14, 1774 editorial in The Georgia Gazette calling for Savannah's inhabitants to resist and fight the oppression of Great Britain. Due to his bravery and selfless acts, on January 20, 1776, Archibald Bulloch was elected President of the Executive Council of Georgia and immediately thereafter elected to the esteemed position of Provincial Governor.
In February 1776 the Georgia Legislature created a county from St. Philip's Parish and called it "Bulloch County." On August 10 of the same year, seven months after being elected Governor, Archibald Bulloch read a copy of the Declaration of Independence to the council members of Savannah and later to an audience at the public square. After a third reading at the Liberty Pole, the Declaration of Independence was praised for its importance by thirteen thunderous rounds from a canon. To commemorate that historic event, residents of Bulloch County have celebrated "Archibald Bulloch Day" on August 10.
The county's first commissioner's court was held May 6, 1873 to name appointees to the Road Commission for their respected districts. These first commissioners were Chairman John L. Denmark, Algeverre Scarborough and Solomon Hagin. On August 11, 1924, an Act created the Board of Commissioners for Bulloch County . The Act created a seven-member commission, with each member including the chairmen directly elected from the citizenry but the vice chairperson selected by the commissioners.
The Origin of Statesboro
George Sibbald, whose last name came to be spelled "Siebald," gave the community the land on which Statesboro now stands. Mr. Siebald was a wealthy Augustan who possessed large land holdings in Bulloch County . Reasons for his generosity are undocumented, but on November 7, 1801, Mr. Siebald presented a 200-acre tract of land to the administrative officials of Bulloch County. On December 19, 1803, an Act of the Georgia Legislature was signed by then-Governor John Milledge and the small township of "Statesborough" became official.
It's uncertain how the town came to be called "Statesborough." One theory connects that name to a term developed through acts of Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson made a great argument in Virginia for states' rights and the rights of people for local self-governance. Elected to the presidency in 1801, Jefferson entered office when local and state rights were a popular topic. It is assumed "Statesborough" was originated in honor of states' rights. In the original charter, granted in 1866, "Statesborough" was spelled as it is today.
Statesboro has been home to several famous citizens including Emma Kelly, the "lady of 6,000 songs," blues artist "Blind Willie" McTell and the late great national championship-winning college football coach, Erskine "Erk" Russell.

I am someone who has always needed instant gratification. So weight loss is hard, because it takes time! But when you don't see results after days of dreadfully working out and passing on that chocolate cake, it can be defeating. One thing I remind myself whenever I start wondering if it's really worth it, is that every right choice I make IS benefiting me. It's training...enforcing those good choices to work out or to eat right so that they will become natural to me and easier next time.
The Spark book...if you haven't bought it yet...buy it...and read it.305

Research in the Eppley Lab
Spatial segregation of the sexes in Distichlis spicata: Understanding the evolution of ecological niches is a focal area of evolutionary ecology. This project examines the genetic, physiological, and ecological factors that allow male and female plants in the wetland grass species Distichlis spicata to have evolved and maintain different ecological niches. Despite the fact that sex ratio theory suggests that such a spatial structure should be highly disadvantageous in a sessile organism because it reduces mating success, patterns of intraspecific niche dimorphism, also known as spatial segregation of the sexes, are quite common in dioecious plants. Currently, we are using greenhouse experiments and plan to set up long-term reciprocal transplant experiments in the field to test evolutionary hypotheses and physiological mechanisms that have been proposed to explain spatial segregation of the sexes in D. spicata.
More information on spatial segregation of the sexes in D. spicata can be found on our project website: SSS in Distichlis spicata.

Sex and extreme environments: Producing offspring by sexual reproduction is potentially genetically and physically risky, yet most Eukaryotes reproduce primarily via sexual rather than asexual reproduction. Many studies have found positive correlations between environmental stress and sexual reproduction, suggesting that under stressful conditions sex has an adaptive function. However, the correlation between sex and stress has not been found to extend to extreme environments, although there has been only a few studies in this area. Understanding how sex functions in extreme environments has striking implications for the evolution of sex, which may have evolved in organisms in extreme environments, and the maintenance of sex in organisms that inhabit extreme environments today. It has been suggested that when environmental stress is extremely high only a few genotypes are adaptive; if this is the case, then recombination would not be an adaptive strategy.
To test whether the positive correlation between genetic variation, sexual reproduction, and environmental stress occurs in the majority of environments except extreme environments, we are using bryophytes around geothermally heated hot springs as a model system. Preliminary data for this project were collected around hot springs on New Zealand's North Island, and we are currently developing this project at Lassen Volcanic National Park, California. We plan to use a series of greenhouse experiments to determine the effects of environment and genetics in sexual versus asexual reproduction in extreme environments and to develop microsatellite markers for a handfull of bryophyte species to estimate the relationship between sexual reproduction and environmental stress.
We are growing several bryophyte species in the greenhouse that were collected from around fumeroles at Boiling Spring Lake and Devil's Kitchen at Lassen Volcanic National Park to determine the heat tolerance of individual species. Moss plants were found green and growing (see photo below) at soil surface temperatures above 58ºC, and soil temperatures at 10 cm of 77ºC.

Moss mating systems: Although land plants evolved with mating systems that relied on motile sperm swimming across stressful environments for fertilization, this reliance has often been considered the weak link in the life-history of non-vascular plants. New research, however, suggests that moss sperm may actually move an order of magnitude farther than previously believed and possibly be dispersed by microarthropods, building on much earlier work suggesting arthropods as sperm vectors. We are using the emerging model system Ceratodon purpureus to comprehensively examine male mating success in light of recent findings.
Sex ratio variation in Bryum argenteum : We are testing hypotheses to explain the extreme female-biased sex ratio found in B. argenteum. Most moss species (>55 %) have separate sexes, and female-biased sex ratios predominate in moss species with this type of breeding system. However, little information is available on whether sex-specific differences in clonal growth or mortality account for the sex bias and whether these differences correlate with sex-specific differences in allocation to reproduction. Sex-ratio bias and environmental stress in mosses is particularly interesting in comparison to what we know about such interactions in angiosperms. In angiosperms with separate sexes, allocation to reproduction is generally higher in females than males, and females often occur in less stressful areas than males. In mosses, however, when conditions become stressful, male plants become less frequent and often disappear from populations altogether. Whether this indicates a difference in sex-specific stress-tolerance patterns in bryophytes versus angiosperms is unknown. For B. argenteum, a cosmopolitan moss species with separate sexes, this project aims to determine the relative costs of reproduction in males and females, the relative clone sizes of males and females, population sex ratios, and ecological correlates (if any) with sex ratio variation. These data will allow us to assess the proximate and ultimate mechanisms responsible for the extreme female-biased sex ratios found in this species.
The effects of Hedra helix management strategies in Portland, Oregon's urban ecosystems: The aim of this project is to test the effects of management strategies for an invasive plant, Hedra helix (English Ivy), and overall habitat disturbance on native biodiversity in Portland, Oregon's urban environment. The project is being conducted by undergraduates at Portland State University in collaboration with The No Ivy League, Forest Park, Portland and the City of Portland's Parks and Recreation Department. The No Ivy League is a non-profit organization that has been removing H. helix from Portland parks for many years and has reliable management records that can be used for this study. Long term plots have been established in Himes Park to assess the effects of ivy management strategies on understory vegetation.

Cornelia Lauf will speak on the Curatorial Arts, conveying visual culture in Italy via artisans, agriculture, craft, entertaining, photo editing, publishing, and other skills necessary in the production of artworks, books and exhibitions. From "bella figura" to "sprezzatura," the life as an artwork will be discussed, with Italian inflection, and analyzed both socially and in the context of contemporary artists ranging from Maurizio Cattelan to Emilio Prini.
Cornelia Lauf is a writer, editor, and curator, with a Ph.D. in art history from Columbia University. She teaches at IUAV, University of Venice, and is co-founder of Three Star Books, Paris.
Tuesday, January 8 - Matt Saunders
Matt Saunders works between paintings, photographs, and films. His recent projects include a month-long collaboration with the Harvard Film Archive and solo exhibitions with Marian Goodman Gallery, Blum & Poe, Harris Lieberman, and at the Renaissance Society in Chicago. Recent group exhibitions include the 2012 de Cordova Biennial in Lincoln, MA, the 2011 Sharjah Biennial, and exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Aspen Museum, and Deutsche Guggenheim. His work is represented in several public collections, including the Whitney, Guggenheim, MoMA and MFA Boston. As a writer, he is an occasional contributor to Artforum and other magazines.
Wednesday, January 9 - Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev in conversation with Helen Molesworth
Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev will engage in a conversation about dOCUMENTA (13) with Helen Molesworth, the Barbara Lee Chief Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston.
Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev is a curator, author, and researcher into artistic practices, the histories of art, and the politics of aesthetics. She was Artistic Director of dOCUMENTA (13) and the 16th Biennale of Sydney, Chief Curator at the Castello di Rivoli Museum for Contemporary Art, and Senior Curator at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, a MoMA affiliate in New York. Her books include William Kentridge, Arte Povera, and for dOCUMENTA (13) the 100 Notes–100 Thoughts series.
Thursday, January 10 - Beth Campbell
Known for her drawings, sculpture, video and architectural interventions, Beth Campbell creates works that challenge the notion of a physical world beyond our perception. Drawing upon philosophy, phenomenology and psychology, Campbell choreographs spaces, crafts uncanny objects, and maps thought. Using the guise of the everyday, the work reveals startling complexity: Forms repeat and stutter. Mirrors become portals. Interiority is externalized.
Campbell's museum exhibitions include the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Carnegie Museum of Art, and Whitney Museum of Art. Her work is included in Whitney Museum and MOMA collections. She has received a Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and Louis Comfort Tiffany Memorial Fellowships.
The Art Talks are free and open to the public, sponsored by The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

- How to Read a Study Record
Tobacco prevention and intervention strategies in the general population are ongoing and evolving. However, strategies to help cancer patients overcome tobacco dependence have been limited. Radiation oncology patients who continue to smoke despite their cancer diagnosis have a lower quality of life (QOL), increased frequency and severity of side effects during their cancer treatment, higher risks of developing a smoking-related primary cancer, and may have a poorer survival rate than their non-smoking counterparts. These are all compelling reasons to be more pro-active in helping cancer patients stop smoking. The overall objective of this project is to adapt a model of an effective tobacco use intervention that can be delivered by any trained radiation oncologist and their staff.

Philadelphia's Go-To Injury Lawyer
Welcome to The Law Offices of Lenard A. Cohen, P.C. I hope you find my website helpful and informative and that you will consider contacting me in the future if you ever find yourself, a client, colleague or friend in need of legal representation.
As a legal practitioner, I have been representing injured individuals since 1984. While the laws have changed over the years, the impact of a serious injury to an injured individual has not. Whether your injury occurred in the workplace, from an auto or other type of accident, or a defective product, I know all too well how important and personal a client's case is to them. Dealing with insurance companies can be intimidating, frustrating and time-consuming. You should be able to look to your lawyer for guidance as you encounter obstacles while recovering from your injuries or adjusting to life with long-term disabilities.
When you need a lawyer, choosing the right one to represent your interests and advocate your rights can make all the difference in the world. I know this from my many years of experience representing injured individuals and working in the profession. I know how challenging it can be to evaluate a lawyer's capabilities and make that all important hiring decision.
All lawyers are not the same and big is not always better. My principles and philosophy as a legal professional are unwavering:
- Offer the highest level of professional advice with the utmost integrity and respect
- Provide superior client service;
- Work directly with each client to provide the required personal attention;
- Communicate regularly. I believe communication is one of the most important aspects of the relationship with your attorney and one of the most often overlooked. During a difficult time of your life, knowing where you stand and being able to reach your attorney when necessary can be very comforting and is what you should receive as a client.
- When you hire The Law Offices of Lenard A. Cohen, P.C., you work directly with me, Lenard Cohen. It is that simple. I believe the relationship between a lawyer and a client deserves the promise of competence and personal attention.
I invite you to peruse my website, welcome your inquiries, and hope you find some piece of information that is of value to you.

WLF's Analysis Shows Some Judges Carefully Weighing Expert Testimony
March 7, 2007 | Kara Sissell
The Washington Legal Foundation (WLF; Washington), an advocacy group that receives some funding from industry, has released an analysis of a recent court decision in a polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) cleanup lawsuit, which says that the Indiana court judge's rejection of the plaintiffs' expert witnesses is helpful for companies that are defendants in environmental cleanup cases. At issue are the legal requirements for admissible expert testimony, which was defined in a 1995 ruling in the Supreme Court case Daubert v. Merrell Dow. The Supreme Court...

Electoral College: Obama 303, Romney 206
Posted By Adan On November 6, 2012 @ 7:22 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile,U.S. News | Comments Disabled
Fox News
November 6, 2012
UPDATE: The most recent numbers give President Obama 303 electoral votes to Romney's 206, with some results still to be determined.
President Obama pocketed a burst of battleground wins Tuesday night, bringing him into a near-tie with Mitt Romney in the electoral-vote count as key states remained too close to call.
The president's biggest prize so far is Pennsylvania, a vital battleground where Romney made a late play for support. Obama also walked away with a win in the swing states of New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Michigan, Fox News projects.
The victory for Obama in Romney's native state is a disappointment for the Republican nominee whose father was once Michigan's governor.

webOS Needs a Developer Phone 69
Over the weekend, numerous press reports (such as this one from sister-site Android Central) have been brewing about the "Google Phone." Whether Google intends to brand and market it to the public is still an open question, but what one thing that does appear to be settled is that the phone is meant to be a developer phone, as happened with versions of the G1 and Magic before it. All the buzz reminded us at PreCentral that we haven't said this stridently enough yet: Palm needs to release a webOS developer phone sooner rather than later.
Whatever the price for the device (and without a carrier subsidy, it could be significantly higher than those of the Pre, Pixi and even other Android devices), being able to purchase it as a standalone unit, without being tied to a carrier, will help developers explore and expand its capabilities. Consider how many of the major homebrew and App Catalog webOS developers have had difficulty getting actual Pres (rather than emulators) of their own, like PreCentral's own Jason Robitaille in Canada, webOS Internal's Rod Whitby in Australia, and Dr. Alan (PalmDoc) Teh in Malaysia to name a few. While they have still produced stellar webOS applications using the SDK and emulators, they have often not been able to test the user experience directly until long after their apps hit PreCentral or the App Catalog.
While Palm cannot compete with Google's marketing power or economic resources, it could substantially boost developer interest and creativity and its own market share by following Google's lead and releasing an unlocked, carrier-neutral webOS smartphone. The expected price differential would reduce or eliminate any likely cannibalization of its consumer market, even while small and large developers throughout the world could create, test and show their applications. (As an added bonus, the developer model could be marketed as well to frequent world travelers, who could maintain their environments and be productive no matter where they landed by simply switching out SIMs.)
One thing is clear: Palm will not gain significant share of the smartphone market by remaining conservative. That was what it did for years with the PalmOS, and it came close to liquidation as a result. Instead, it should pursue both technological and business innovations like a developer-centered webOS device to both establish loyalty and gain media and investor attention.

wow, 4 emails in the 5 minutes after I posted asking me to fix them not being on: guess you guys have something to say about this!
(fixed, and sorry!)
Ahhh! An adroid phone! My eyes!! Haha but I'm actually considering getting that phone (codename:nexus one) its suppose to be a beast and have 2.1, android is maturing quite quickly.
Jay got a Sprint Pre but wasnt Palm that gave it to him.
I agree that developers need an easy way to get a phone for developing on, preferably discounted from the full price.
However, I don't agree that it needs to be a different phone like Google has done in the past. The Pre itself already has the developer features built in. Why bother with another separate device when you can do it with the actual thing?
WebOS has an excellent emulator
I'm going to reply to my own comment and elaborate. While I feel it would be a great thing to see a WebOS phone free from carrier restrictions.
Palm definitely has done an excellent job in providing a platform that allows developers to develop without owning a WebOS phone. I know for a fact some of the homebrewers don't have a Pre or Pixi.
Sometimes, there are bugs and glitches that are only apparent when tested on an actual phone. I'm sure Jason could chime in, he had to rely solely on the emulator and other people to test his work before he received a donated Pre.
Wow. It's all over for Palm, just after it began. Don't mistake it - THIS is the killer phone, boys and girls. Mojo had promise, but Google has sealed the deal for me. June 2011 I'm headed to whichever carrier (Google?) has the Google phone.
You're trying too hard.
THIS is the killer phone, for you. Fixed that for you.
I think what you're really asking for is a better emulator.
What's the point of having real hardware, when an emulator can be more rapidly and widely distributed? And it's free!
Emulators can only do so much to simulate the environment, the user experience and most importantly the connectivity of a device, particularly one like the Pre or Pixi where bandwidth changes from moment to moment. It's also harder for developers to really test their apps in the kind of environments users will face, both physical and software. (Consider how many issues Palm itself missed in its limited beta testing of the Pre before subjecting it to the realworld stresses of a user community.)
Additionally, developers can be among the best possible evangelists for a platform, if (a) they're energized by it and (very importantly b) they've got a sample to *show* people at conferences, meetups, etc.
Finally, you're missing a key point: emulators may be free, but developer/unlocked phones can be a *profit center*.{Jonathan}
Emulator runs at a speed that is not in parity with the device. This makes games that really push the device seem fine, when on the device they are terribly slow. One of many incompatibilities between the emulator and device.
I'm more than familiar with this issue. I was rather dismayed when I did original testing on the device...
GPU access should fix that, however.
Not really. Depending on the speed of your computer, the emulator is either slower than or up to 10x or more faster than the actual device. The only way to address this is use some type of throttling to actual speed on the emulator.
I think if we pick at a small nit we can get to the core problem with using the emulator: It's not an emulator. It's a virtual machine.
If palm truly had an emulator you'd be able to use WebOSDoctor on the virtual device and get a working "phone". As it stands now it's a hacked together x86 Linux implementation with a near-perfect port of LunaSys/WebOS to the x86 architecture.
Ha-ha-ha!!! Could've fooled me Dieter! As of the release date of the very first Palm Pre I would've figured that this phone was already for developers and not the masses!!! LOL!!! Sorry -- I had to giggle -- though I know that technically it is not a developers phone. Though seems like the only people who do understand and tolerate this phone are developers and average smartphone users who are loyal to Palm.
I'll let you in on another joke.. okay... ready... WebOS in spanish translates to "penises".
Guess we lost the Spanish market on this one guys!
By the way the GUI so far looks hot! I would definitely consider buying the phone 'if' it lives up to all the hype!
"I'll let you in on another joke.. okay... ready... WebOS in spanish translates to "penises"."
That's not even remotely close to correct.
I assume you're referring to "huevos," which I suppose could sound like someone pronouncing WebOS, which in fact does not translate as you suppose. The literal translation is "eggs." The slang interpretation can be inferred from that. It's not what you suggested.
Well -- like I said WebOS translates to "penises" in Spanish. If you'd like to be literal... I will correct this by saying: "the very popular Spanish 'slang' way of saying 'penises' is 'webos'.
As in, I like my men's webos hard!
Read byhumba's response. That person typed what I was trying to avoid typing.
I gave you the literal translation only because I'm typing this at work and thus don't want to type certain words, and I figured you could make the link from the literal translation to the correct slang translation.
You mis-translated by just inches, but it really changes the translation!
If we're to take the actual slang meaning you were trying to refer to, then we could say that Palm has chutzpah.
'Huevos' in Spanish means eggs, which in Spanish is also used as a slang word for testicles. It's the English equivalent of 'balls'. It does not mean 'penises' at all. Not in Mexico, South America, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Spain or any other Spanish speaking country.
LOL!!! Well... you can drop Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Spain off your list! Cuz we all spell it "Webos" not "huevos" when it comes to slang. In order to differentiate slang words from literal words we learn to take the 'h', 'u', and 'v' out and replace it with 'w' and 'b'... how do I know this??? Because as a child growing up with Castilian Spaniard: Puerto Rican and Dominican families (father being a top latin chef of a five star restaurant) I was corrected 'properly' on how to us the slang and the literal version of "huevos" and "webos".
Your "wikipedia" urban dictionary is not as urban as you think it is my friend. Looks and sounds like it came straight out of suburban Nickelodeon'ville. Try the Bronx instead!
The End!
You are a merchant. I choose to believe that you do not know what you are talking about.
I'm an actual Puerto Rican from Puerto Rico. I've been living here my whole life, and I guarantee you that not once have I seen it spelled "webos". Huevos means eggs. In slang it means "testicles", similar to saying "balls" in English. The letter W in Spanish is very rarely used, even in slang. Unless of course you're talking about people of Puerto Rican descent in the U.S. who have learned English as a second language from their parents and have little or no spelling knowledge. The most prominent slang version of "huevos" as testicles I have seen is "guevos". Also, it meaning "penises" is completely wrong. Huevos is slang for testicles because testicles are egg-shaped. Thus, having huevos mean penis makes no sense at all. Good Day Sirs.
...Talk about off-topic discussion.
"I'll let you in on another joke.. okay... ready... WebOS in spanish translates to "penises"."
Here is a little Spanish lesson for you...WebOS does not translate to penises in Spanish, or even come close to it. WebOS sounds like the word "huevos," which literally means eggs. However, the slang word for testicles is huevos.
webos = huevos = balls = nuts
this is what it means in south america, and central america
Surely this should be quite low on Palms priority list. I hope they spend the time expanding the SDK...That'll make developers even happier than a dev phone!
There is a big difference between Android and WebOS. Android gets all the press about being open, but it is locked down unless you jailbreak it or get a developer model. There is nothing on WebOS to jailbreak. To make a regular phone into a developer phone, type "webos20090606". Bam, developer phone.
Now the question is about testing apps. Some apps need a real device, rather than an emulator, even as the emulator improves. However, many things can't be tested on a phone that is only running the one test app. This has been discussed quite a bit in the private pre-release forums where the only way to try the new WebOS versions is WebOS Doctoring. Most developers only have their main phone and possibly a Pixi. However, I agree with some that said it wouldn't really be testing the software and your program if it isn't in a "real" environment with cell service, etc.
I'm writing off my Pre and Pixi, plus service, as a business expense for development. It doesn't take many sales in the catalog to pay for them. But that is just my view.
+1 for pointing out that *every* Palm WebOS phone is a developer phone, once you enter the correct code. The whole reason that the other manufacturers have to sell a developer phone is because the non-dev phones are so tightly locked down.
People who think you can develop and distribute a tool that is tested on an emulator don't know what you are talking about. There's nothing that can obviate the need for testing on an actual device. One of the reasons why development for iPhone is so successful is that a developer can purchase an iPod Touch for less that $200 and it will run the latest iPhone OS.
Palm is not going to release an quad band unlocked GSM (which is what your are asking for), because palm doesn't want to service their phones. It's the carriers responsibility to service the phone, and palm doesn't have the resources to be shipping 5 replacement pre for slider issues. It would also violate any exclusivity deals they have if they released an unlocked phone. For the few people who will buy a "developer" version, it's not worth the effort.
> palm doesn't want to service their phones.
And this is on record where? Point to anything anyone at Palm has said, even anonymously, that supports this claim. Show us that it's more than armchair analysis.
Palm has a history of releasing unlocked phones--every GSM Treo since at least the 600 (ok, except the 500, which was a redheaded stepchild anyway) had an unlocked version. And the GSM Centro too. And the WinMob models were not only quad-band GSM/EDGE, they also had tri-band UMTS/HSDPA (3G, in other words).
The question is whether Palm is keeping with this history or making a change. One could make a case for a change, though I for one hope that they maintain their tradition. In particular, I'm hoping that they offer an unlocked, tri-band 3G Pre (even if it's a little more expensive to support that radio) once the exclusive with Sprint (and maybe some/all of the rest) expires next year.
Rumor mill:
1.) It
And that's why you shouldn't believe rumors.
1. If Google subsidies it, the public won't ever see this device. It does have things most cell phones (except Nokias) don't have like an FM radio, AMOLDED, etc. So game changer - yes... in the sense that more manufactures besides Nokia will pump their phones with more hardware features because developers will now write for it.
2. Probably.
3. Likely half-true. HTC is working on the Bravo which looks just like the Nexus-One. There's also been seen on paper the Passion and Passion/C, which may be GSM & CDMA devices respectively which also look like the Nexus-One.
More important is the issue of a dev phone. As a registered Android developer, I will be able to get the Nexus-One. But I have to shell out more cash in addition to what I paid for my (now rooted) G1. But if all I had to do was enter a code, still get support from the manufacturer (mine is void now that I've rooted), then it's a no-brainer.
An emulator won't do everything. In addition to what's been said, you need a real device to test location based apps. There are things you can add to the emulator to "emulate" this, but users of your app won't be forgiving if it doesn't work the same as it did in the emulator.
You do not need a dev phone. you can root it you can put in developer mode. Your warranty will not be void since you can doctor it back to factory settings if you need to return it. No voided warranty. the point of a developer phone is mute. google has another motive for the push of this phone.
First lets analyze apple and google. They provide merchandise that leads to one point -> their product. Now lets specifically look at apple from the bottom up. They appeal to the young crows with the ipod nanos and touches. Look at their commercials it is all these young hippy kids with a catchy song. Looks like apple analyzed the beetle phenom to a T. So now you have a group that connects to your product. Why would you do this. Well it gets you introduced with apple. Apple tried this back in the days when they flooded the schools with their macs and apple computers. Back then their plan was not as good as it is today. So you buy the less expensive product (ipod touch, nano, iphones) so that it leads you to the more expensive apple product line macbooks & imacs. You also so more people with apple products and the simple mind follows what it knows worked in the past and then extrapolates it to the other apple products. You see each apple product connects to the other. There is very little overlap in the peripheral components of apple but there is some overlap in the central components of apple so that they can seal the deal. It is like a drug. Since most people do not step out of what is their norm -> they stay with apple without looking at other options. As long as apple works for them, they will never search for the better product (price and functionality). Apple knows this and limits functionality for stability so as not to cause anyone to jump ship also they provide you with a visually appealing device. This limits apple from the business sector. Looking at it blindly you would think that alienating the business sector would create problems and loss of revenue. Actually, it is just the opposite. The business sector does not provide that much profit margin to computer companies. Think of it like car companies selling their cars in fleet to enterprise and the city/state governments. They actually do not make as much profit compared to when they sale the car to the public. The mark up price is significantly higher for the regular person. Some mark ups for their cars go as high as 20k difference.
What does this have to relate with topic you ask?
Palm just sticking with phones is a dead in road concept. Coming out with another phone does not stop apples stampede on the smartphone market. Apple will overtake the phone market if things continue as they are now. They start you off with the nano, touch and then you graduate to the iphone which then leads you to the macbook.
What we really need. Palm needs to incorporate itself into the mobility market. I am not talking about just phones. They need to push for portable pc market. Why not mobile media devices like mp3/mp4 players. Well that market is a ballon waiting to bust. Currently, your smartphone can do that and more. It is only time before the mobile media devices go bust. Cellular is king in that arena & it is only time before reality catches up with the mobile media device makers. Soon (less than 3 yrs.) everyone will have a cellular and there will be very little need to have a pager, mp3 player, mp4 player, camera/camcorder (none professional quality). Nobody wants to carry multiple small devices when they can have one small device that can do multiple things.
Now lets focus on the portable p.c. market. Who is there now. Really only windows is their currently. Who currently working on being there in the future only windows currently. If you think apple will be there, you are wrong. Why would apple want to build a device that is in the $600 range and loss revenue of selling you a $1200 device. Those people speculating about the apple tablet do not understand the apple philosophy. They will not make a true portable p.c. at the $600 range. They will make a peripheral device like the iphone in the $600 range to compete against the kindle. It will not have the mac os x functionality. It will be strictly for the web, ebooks, probably multimedia. It is a device once again to lead you to the central apple product line aka macbook & imac. What happens if palm gets into the arena of portable p.c.. Well they only have windows devices to compete against. Too bad windows still has not learned from apple. Windows device manufacturers still build devices that appeal to techies. Their devices have none artistic/fashionable design. Their devices have geek written all over them. Reminds me of the windows mobile days. You could have easily seen that the windows mobile device could be over taken just by looking at their boxy design (straight out of the brick cellular phone era).
What you need in this device:
Has to be slim (think of a semifull fedex envelope). It has to be rigid. Single body design (no windows flexible cheap design here). Sturdy enough to be carried with one hand front has glass and back is one solid piece as well. No slide out keyboard.
Needs to have cam, speaker, mic. 2 usb, bluetooth, wifi. battery charge like the touchstone (no plugs). No jacks (there can be a separate usb dongle for external speaker and mic jacks) (you can also have a usb dongle for the video out component or you can have a minidisplay port). There is a single power button that has a slide cover to protect it from inadvertent touching). You also need multitouch 11 inch screen with a border around it. the fan port is designed like the back of imacs (small slit). HDD is ssd (no more than 32gb). The battery is removable like the design of the older unibody matchbooks. You can not be portable unless there is a replaceable battery because it defeats the purpose. operating system is web os but you can have more than one card displayed at one time like 4 quads or two quads with a simple gesture. Can provide you with the functionality of any windows p.c. with office on it. The os has to limit software like apple to prevent compromise of the system so that it can limit the amount of problems there are with the system (freedom comes with a price and that price is instability). However, the technology has to keep up with the times. Basic gaming functionality but nothing major to take away from the portable battery saving functionality. There can be a docking station with external keyboard and blueray or dvd. The dock also has to be artistically designed. Lastly the name. Something catchy like EU (said you) PC. But then you will need to change the smartphone so that the concept all interconnects like apple (iphone, imac, ipod) note the hidden message.
If you want palm to stick with just smart phones then just seal their death right now. Concepts like walmart and apple win. Isolated functions have no future thus they die (aka blackberry). Appeal to everyone or you will go down (looks do get you far). Look like a winmo, android, or blackberry phone and you soon will go down. Curved edges, artistic look, looks like it is from nature not from some geeks dream. Do not give me that boxy feel and that flexible cheap design. Make it feel solid and sturdy. Not heavy but yet has some weight. I like the palm look. Looks like a shinny black pebble/rock. Do not like the slide keyboard because it takes away from the unibody firm design. Could have done without the entire back of the device coming off. Better if it just have a battery compartment door. Back should have been metallic solid firm design not the plastic peace. Screen should have been slightly bigger and the device slight skinnier. Central button should have been removed and the gesture area slightly smaller for more screen space. Usb port could have been placed on the bottom or back for extra functionality. Hopefully, palm rolls out some games so that palm can entice some of the younger crowd into the palm camp and away from the apple camp. Also can not wait until flash can be put on the pre.
Some constructive criticism:
Please, if you're going to type something so long, break it up with whitespace. It makes it a LOT easier to read. Just hit ENTER twice between paragraphs. It makes a bigger difference than many realize.
You should write for precentral!
This is the first time I'll be able to write this in a non-joking way, so congratulations. Ahem...
Do you ever read?
Just think health care 2000 pages and my statement maybe one page. I guess you will never know what other people do in this country unless someone reads it to you? Get some independence and start reading. It might help you one day.
Good comment, but hard to read (I agree with adding more spaces between the paragraphs). I think you have a good point with expanding Palms products, but the device that you are describing sounds like the unborn Foleo. It didn't go anywhere and I would be surprised to see Palm take that road again in the near future.
It seems to me that Palm could expand on their product line and offer more options much like the various Android phones. There should be a phone in Palms line up that appeals to different types of users. The Pre has a slider for a compact design that still has a useful QWERTY keyboard and the Pixi is the intro phone for newbies.
I think that the next Palm product should be a phone with no physical keyboard. It should play off the sleek designs of the Pre and Pixi, as well as highlighting the user friendly WebOS. If for some reason Palm was to revive the Foleo (only after a very successful product line), they should make it like a tablet PC with a touchscreen.
Foleo was not really what i was thinking about. More like a full pc unit not an oversized pda like what winmo did in the past before the foleo. That flopped long before the foleo (Sharp Mobilon TriPad PV-6000). Did not have real functionality. The device could not overtake the laptop. It was several times weaker. I am talking laptop power in a tablet slate. Basically what they have now but in a skinnier and better form factor (none geeky) without the resource windows hog running the device. Keyboard are ok for one hand devices but not for tablets. That take away from the unit sturdiness. I have owned several tablets samsung q1, fujitsu 2010, gigabyte m912, toshiba. The best portable one is the q1 but it still needed more power & ssd but it was close. Also needed multitouch. Iphone do not have kb and they are doing very well. I think it may be better to develop voice recognition than to keep the qwerty when texting. physical qwerties in mobile device have very limited function.
It is so funny when I walk into starbucks with me q1. I turn it on and start to work on it with my bluetooth kb and mz. Those college students sit there and their mouths just drop. You can see them thinking is that really windows running on that thing. They stop playing with their macs and large dell laptops. The windows peps state they want to get one and the mac peps tell me that mac will come out with a tablet soon (yea right - now that is what the foleo was but apple will find that it is a flop). I love my q1 it is great but it had a significant amount of short comings but it was definitely knocking on the door to a hit.
1. White space, please!
2. A very astute comment. However, if you look at what Google is doing with the development of their Chrome OS, you can bet your bottom dollar they're already looking at something like this.
3. The crackberry fanbase is no less rabid than the Apple fanbase, niche development is very possible and can be very profitable, but you have to be exceptional within your niche. Blackberry has done this very well.
king, you're right on with what they need to do as far as their next device. I'm pretty sure the tablet pc with webos will be a huge hit. you describe pretty much what I have envisioned it to look like although I would possibly put a slide out keyboard with a tilt screen to about 30 to 45 degrees from sitting on a table. but hey they could do two versions of it. one with and one without. because it seems there is a pretty good split between people who like and dislike physical keyboards.
webos seems like the perfect fit for something a little larger like an 11" tablet though. and it needs to be done soon before someone else hits bit with the same idea.
This Google phone looks just like another clone from HTC, like a Hero with a straight bottom. This phone design is NOT AT ALL EXCITING okay ? Being mostly Palm developers how you all can get excited about another Android clone like production beats me. Are you all mostly high school kids ? Or early college drop-outs ? All these Android clones look like those big long generic tv remote control devices with glass panes. You can buy them from Radio-Schack. I hope Palm mgmt. never releases the WebOS source code to you all Yahoos. That will be a suicidal step for Palm. Did Apple do it? No. Did RIM do it? No. How come they become successfuls? And both iPhone and Blackberry look more elgant than those Android clones. And Palm's Pre and Pixi are both light years ahead of any dRoidian clones in looks, forms,designs etc.. I hope Palm continues to develop the WebOS much better than anybody else's and allocates its limited resources accordingly. Remember, earlier Palm lost its market-share not because of lack of apps.(there are more than 30,000 apps just based on PalmOS), but because of lack of development of the PalmOS itself which couldn't support features that competitors started introducing. Palm now should only introduce products which distinguish themselves from all other competing products in looks, forms, designs, features, useabilities etc.
Another food for thoughts for you developers; what happens when a mobile OS gets a very poweful browser which can handle all those web functionalities that can be directly accessed through websites, would we need then that many apps. ? For example if I can go to a website and play some game which is on the website, do I need that game app. downloaded on my smartphone and use up memory spac?
And you developers seem to be guys on testosterone but little less on nitric-oxide on the equipment, so you really need not much of phone in a smartphone but a handheld computer, a logical extension of Palm's PDAs. See what Palm mgmt. have in their minds for you all.
Did you cut yourself after writing this? If you plan to insult the intelligence of a group of people, try not to sound like a "webos."
This article, although demands for a GSM developer phone have been made in the past, smells of panic and desperation. How many times has Palm being accused of doing Me Too tricks?
If Palm releases a developer phone just to counter an aggressive move by Google, then, it has already lost. I don't mind a developer phone at all. The argument listed by other users are sensible. But I disagree on a Palm developer phone just to match Google.
Marketing-wise, it's dumb for Google to kill the hype behind the Droid which itself had killed the HTC hype and so on. These products' limelight is so short that people will tire of the next iPhone killer phone coming from Android. You can only cry wolf so many times.
How long will the Google phone be the star product from Android before something else comes along?
I too want to see an improved and new Webos phone from Palm. But I don't want to see another me too act. I want Palm to show me the next game changing smart phone and leap ahead of everything now. If that means no developer phone because of lack of resources, then it is the right decision.
The point of a webOS developer phone would not be a "me too" effort; it would be because it makes sense no matter who has (or has not) done it before. Being able to roll out a device internationally without waiting for carriers, and being able to enable developers to better build and test webOS apps regardless of where they live or from whom they have their cellphone service, would be a plus for Palm without requiring a huge amount of hardware innovation. It's a business decision, not a technical one. {Jonathan}
Developer phone vs no developer phone does not provide much of any benefit. why is the sky blue versus any other color who cares. Iphone was not built up due to the app catalog. It was built up by what it could do. Apps help but the iphone provided the spark. You need to attract people to the phone. Provide basic functionality, ease and beauty and people are hooked. Previous palm had tons of apps but that did not help. So get off the slow train. We need a phone that can provide the hook. Don not ask for the egg if you do not have the chicken. Start with the phone and later we can talk apps. The phone has not taken off as it should. We need to make sure this phone brings people together. They have to be happy to show their phone off. Has to look nice. Has to be stable. Has to allow full connectivity to the net. has to have the ability to bring people together like you see in the apple commercial when the group of three play one game together. No more antisocial or socially handicapped individuals with a palm pre. No techie fav phone because that gets us no where but down. The developers can not provide the solution. The answer lies with palm. Those droid developers do not have a clue. Apps will not be the main push for google. It overtake windows easily but that will not help google take the lead from apple. Cool and google just do not go together right now despite how many celebrities are on their ads. Then 100k, 1000k, & 1 bil amounts of apps are for geeks. When you decide to buy something you want to know does it work flawlessly, does it has great functionality out of the box, is it nice looking, is it what everybody else has, do they keep up with the times. The problem that palm had was it did not keep up with the times. its web offering was crazy awful. email even worse. the phone was built for isolationist. had several apps but you could not interact with the social network (internet and emails). Interaction with the device was also old school tech. So in conclusion create a great phone and make a solid os then we can think about developers. The current system is not broken and it does not need to be fixed. Concentrate energy on what matters. spread of the phone to other networks and functionality/aesthetic/social advertisement. seriously do not go to other networks without a video standard function (what are you thinking). email, full net, video, exceptional texting (interaction with the device with ease aka on screen kb/voice recognition typing and interaction with others with ease and a full gamut of capability), games/apps that bring us together so we can show off the pre. This stuff needs to be built in standard not developed by outside developers.
Also give me access to my cloud while I am on my PC/Mac so that I can have a backupand also So I can dictate what will be automatically installed/settings on a refresh of the phone.
Like the use of space generation do you? Here is a one time deal since you guys always ask for spaces in between my paragraphs.
The point about the spaces it just to make it easier for people to read your writing. I'm not trying to be an irritant. I'm trying to let you know an easy change that will make a big difference in the number of people that will read what you write. You clearly put a lot of effort into your comments. Just a little more effort will make more people read it.
The best writing in the world will go unread if there isn't enough whitespace. You make a lot of good points in your writing, but a lot of people will just skip it when they see huge blocks of text. I figure you care about this since you clearly put time into your comments.
I'm really not trying to be a jerk.
Webos is walking in the valley of the shadow of death. Unless they have a Hail Mary up their sleeve or Nokia makes a grab for them now. I fear that Palm will be no more, right next to Windows Mobile. I for one am leaving the Sprint and the Pre behind.
I was telling this to Palm back in August! Good to see it is brought up here as well now. Lots of comments... Probably a hot topic :)
EDIT: Glimpsed through comments. Looks like some men don't understand why we need such a phone. Well, not everybody lives in a country where Palm distributes or plans to distribute their phones. But such people want and are perfectly capable of developing webOS apps. For them, having an unlocked phone is a perfect opportunity to jump in and start coding apps that aren't possible to create using emulator only. How many of those there are? I don't know. But I know that even one man can create a killer app. So please, don't ignore such developers.
What most of you fail to realize is that there is no substitute for testing software with the hardware upon which it will be deployed. I'm a software test manager. We use simulators to test protocol communications with various vendor casino management systems. However, each vendor implements the protocol slightly different with its various features. Without testing against these systems, we can never be sure that our software will communicate in the way that the vendors' systems expect. And lo and behold, we've had problems with our software not communicating in the manner that these systems expect, even though we've take great care to implement the communication protocol per the specification and have tested it against the specification.
So, while having a developer be the only person testing the application s/he wrote is not always the best testing, it does allow the developer to verify a variety of things on the actual hardware on which the app will be deployed prior to releasing the application for beta testing or submitting it to the app catalog. Especially memory issues, lag, internet connections over the air or Wi-Fi, usability, etc.; the emulator screen on a computer is larger than the phone's screen, so what looks fine on the emulator, may be too small for the phone screen. A screenshot, properly scaled down is a suitable substitute, but neither it nor the emulator allow a developer to test screen taps, swipes and other gestures with a finger. An app that works well on the emulator, but doesn't work well in the production environment, makes the developer look bad, certainly means the app will get bad reviews and people won't purchase it. Future apps from the same developer may suffer in sales because of a poor reputation, not because they are bad apps.
Lastly, there are simply some things that you cannot test on the emulator, primarily the accelerometer (really, are you going to tilt your monitor? And if Palm does put this in the emulator somehow, can you turn the emulator screen as fast as someone can turn the phone?) and GPS. You need the hardware to ensure apps using those services work properly.
So, I agree that there should be a way for developers to get the hardware even if they can't use it to make a phone call. With Wi-Fi, they can still test apps that require service to access the internet or other online services.
And for those of you saying what Palm should and should not do for future products and devices and such (like huevos), this article was about providing developers with hardware. There are other articles and forums where you can make those comments and opinions without cluttering up the comment thread with stuff that doesn't pertain to the topic at hand.
Do not see why we need an physical emulator of the phone. Really a waste of resources. They have not needed in the past and they do not need it now. Google has other intentions and testing is not one of them. There is emulator software and you can put your phone in developer mode so the point you make is mute. The entire article point is mute. Google will come out with their own phone and will gradually eat away at the htc and droid since they do not need them anymore. They will have an os that will interact just fine since they make it. Google is a trojan company that slip streams its product in without providing a direct challenge. Google will not emulate what windows did by providing software but no hardware. Windows did that and they failed miserably. Google started off with providing their software on phones as a starter but they will more than likely wait for the dust to settle. After the dust settles they will pick which design is the best. They will make their own phone and indirectly kill the other google droid phones. Kind of smart, not to spend your company money in the rod of what works and its advertisement. I suspect Google will be more of competition for apple than microsoft. I truly suspect that microsoft will be a dead company unless it can implement itself more in our daily lives. Winmo failed, zune failed, windows is getting more expensive and plagued with problems. Google is working on an os and it is also working on peripherals that we need. It is buying companies left and right so that it becomes the next big thing. I suspect they will also do this for the portable pc market once their os matures. Microsoft has been doing the same thing since its inception and when it tries to branch into other areas it fails miserably. TIC TOC TIC TOC
I would love to see a new OS on here. It definitely needs an upgrade or a new one. I would love to see one.

One thing is clear: Palm will not gain significant share of the smartphone market by remaining conservative.

but what one thing that does appear to be settled is that the phone is meant to be a developer phone, as happened with versions of the G1 and Magic before it.
cara meninggikan badan All the buzz reminded us at PreCentral that we haven't said this stridently enough yet: Palm needs to release a webOS developer phone sooner rather than later.
Yes that's true now WebOS needs a developer phone. Pre Central always have some useful information.

Ice Age Continental Drift is no longer the top downloaded movie of the week, after rising to the top spot last week. Its place was taken by Stolen (fitting perhaps) a new entry.
Stolen, or Taken with Nicholas Cage, is about a former thief searching for his daughter who's been kidnapped.
Taken on the other hand is about a former CIA agent, totally different, searching for his daughter who's been kidnapped. Taken 2, by the way, came out this year already.
Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is another new entry, at number four, followed by Looper, a poor copy shot from the theater release, at five.
The rest of the top 10 most downloaded movies on BitTorrent last week have a good run in the top, titles like Prometheus, Men in Black 3 or The Avengers.

Food & Dining
A minute on the grill with: Chad Smith
by Bradley Hartsell
What inspired the barbecue/Mexican fusion menu?
Smith: Me and and some high school friends went on a scalloping trip in Florida, and we just came up with idea sitting around one day. We thought fusion would be a really cool, different thing to try.
Fusion is big out west in California. Out there it's Korean barbecue. We just thought, why couldn't we do southern barbecue with Mexican twist here?
What made you confident something like that would work in Newnan?
Well, [the South] is like five or six years behind California with everything. If we could bring that flavor here five or six years before it hit big, we'd be the innovators [laughs].
California is just big on new food. They're ahead in everything, really. People everywhere else just stick to basic Mexican or basic barbecue. But everybody likes barbecue and everybody loves Mexican, so why not combine them?
What's the key ingredient to your tacos?
The gouda is definitely one of them. Some people come here and ask for no gouda and I'm like, "That's what makes it!" A lot of people haven't had gouda, because it's kind of a different cheese, but it's really good.
Our cilantro ranch and some of the sauces are also really good. Overall, we just make everything fresh every morning. It's different than anywhere else. You can really taste the meat and the sauces, it's not just tasting filler like rice and beans at other places.
Any sibling rivalry between you and Redneck [Smith's brother, Casey Smith, owns Redneck Gourmet]?
[Laughs] I don't think there's any rivalry. My family started that business 24 years ago, and it's done really well — probably better than any place besides Sprayberry's.
We wanted to offer the same experience here but with a different food style. But hopefully you come in and you see it's a family business. You see family working, like my son or wife.
I just hope I can be sitting here in 24 years and say the same thing.
How's the response been so far [Rednexican opened last month]?
It's been excellent. The response has been a blessing. We have a lot of people coming back more than once, and people have been commenting on seeing us in [The Newnan Times-Herald]. It's really, really been good. More than I could have expected in the first couple of weeks.
