Ten Linux Desktops Showing Just How Far Behind Mac OS X and Windows Designs Are
Linux doesn't have any kind of PR, and in the collective mind of the people, there is still an impression that Linux users spend their time inside the terminal and in dreary desktops. In fact, most of the current Linux desktops are much better than anything made by Apple of Microsoft.
Apple releases OS X Yosemite Public Beta 2, new iTunes 12 beta for testing
OS X Yosemite Beta 2 is now available to download from the Mac App Store for members of the OS X Beta Program. The public release comes a few days after OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 6 was issued to registered members of Apple's development community.
The first public beta of Yosemite arrived in late July, marking the first time members of the general public could officially test Apples next-generation Mac operating system. OS X Yosemite is scheduled to arrive this fall, and brings new connectivity options between Macs and mobile devices running the upcoming iOS 8 platform.
Apple preps final non-security OS X Mavericks update
Apple is working its way toward releasing OS X Mountain Lion 10.9.5, very likely the last non-security update for the 10-month old operating system.
Apple issued a new build of the beta of 10.9.5 yesterday, according to 9to5Mac.com. The build, the fourth in a series for 10.9.5, was identified as "13F18."
Apple Safari for OS X gets "click-to-own" security holes patched
Apple has just updated its Safari browser.
There's still no sign of the regularity and frequency in update process that works so well for companies like Microsoft and Adobe, where you know you'll get an update (or at least be told you aren't getting one) every month.
Apple releases OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 5 with Safari improvements, UI changes
Apple this morning has released OS X 10.10 Yosemite Developer Preview 5.
The new update brings various performance improvements and bug fixes. The previous Developer Preview brought some minor user-interface enhancements and significant speed improvements. Apple also released iOS 8 beta 5.

Although 2008ŌĆÖs skyrocketing fuel prices began fading from the American psyche in 2009, consumers apparently werenŌĆÖt ready to resume profligate energy consumption, a WardŌĆÖs survey of ŌĆÖ09 model-year light-vehicle production by engine size and type shows.
With gasoline prices hovering just over $2.00 per gallon through much of the year, the installation rate for V-6 and V-8 engines fell to 57.1%, from 63.9% in ŌĆÖ08, continuing a 5-year decline from a peak this decade of 76.2% in ŌĆÖ04.
Related document: Domestic Light-Vehicle Production Summary by Engine
Economic woes, mounting home foreclosures and a dearth of consumer financing sidelined a large number of potential new-car buyers, resulting in just 7,943,327 new light-vehicles built for the U.S. market in model year ŌĆÖ09, the lowest level in more than 20 years and 39.4% less than the 13,117,992 manufactured in 2008.
Related document: Domestic Light-Vehicle Production by Engine Displacement
A 42.2% drop in production of light-trucks, where V-6s and V-8s still accounted for 84% of ŌĆÖ09 output compared with 88.2% in ŌĆÖ08, was a big factor in declining applications of the engines.
While V-8 usage showed only a modest decline in the light-truck segment, slipping to 40.0% from 40.7% in ŌĆÖ08, it dwindled to an all-time low of 4.9% in cars, a far cry from the glory days of the late 1960s, when V-8s powered 88.9% of the cars built in the ŌĆÖ69 model run.
The once lowly 4-cyl. increased its car-market dominance to 61.9% of ŌĆÖ09 production, from prior-yearŌĆÖs 51.7% , while it rose to a record light-truck share of 14.8%.
Building more engines with fewer cylinders increased the share of powerplants with less than 3.0L displacement to 43.1% of ŌĆÖ09 light-vehicle output, according to a WardŌĆÖs survey, up from 36.5% of ŌĆÖ08, 32.6% of ŌĆÖ07 and a 10-year average of 29.6%.
Still, the usage rate for the smallest engines, those with displacements of less than 2.0L, fell to 7.1% from 8.2% in ŌĆÖ08, while those in the 2.0L-2.9L category climbed to a second consecutive record of 36.0% in ŌĆÖ09 from prior-yearŌĆÖs 28.3%.
Engines with displacements of 3.0L-3.9L exhibited the largest ŌĆÖ09 decline, dropping four percentage points to a 29.0% share of light-vehicle output from 33.0% in ŌĆÖ08. This compared with a 0.4-point dip, to 11.3%, for engines in the 4.0L-4.9L group and a 2.2-point decline, to 16.6%, for those 5.0L or larger in size.
At the same time, a WardŌĆÖs survey of ŌĆÖ09-model U.S.-market import and domestic light-vehicles showed the installation rates of most ŌĆ£specialtyŌĆØ engines held steady or increased, despite an overall market decline.
The turbodiesel engine gained both share and volume in ŌĆÖ09 thanks to the reintroduction of the powerplant in the Mexico-built Jetta.
Oil-burners accounted for 3.7% share on volume of 380,325 in ŌĆÖ09, compared with 2.1% on volume of 338,541 in ŌĆÖ08.
Turbocharged gasoline engines also edged up in share, but not in volume, to 2.9% in ŌĆÖ09 from 2.3%, while supercharged engines held on to a 0.1% rate despite a volume decline of 27.6%.
Hybrid powerplants accounted for a record 2.4% of import/domestic volume in ŌĆÖ09, up from 2.1% in ŌĆÖ08, although unit-volume was down 34.9%.
Also gaining share were flex-fuel engines, even in the face of a diminishing price differential between regular gasoline and ethanol in many parts of the country.
Those engines, which garnered extra fuel-economy credit for the auto makers, accounted for a 7.9% share of the market, up from 7.4% in 2008, although volume was down 33.6%.

Google Confirms: Keyword and Description Meta Tag No Effect in Search Rankings
Matt Cutt's confirms , Google doesn't use either the keyword or description tag in ranking websites.
Matt Cutt's gives the following answers:
1. "Our web search (the well-known search at Google.com that hundreds of millions of people use each day) disregards keyword metatags completely. They simply don't have any effect in our search ranking at present."

US-led foreign trooper killed in E Afghanistan
Another US-led foreign trooper, enlisted by the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan, has been killed in an attack by militants in the eastern part of the war-torn country. According to a statement issued by the ISAF, the militant attack claimed the life of the trooper on Tuesday. The statement, however, did not provide further details about the trooper's nationality and the exact location of the incident. According to the independent website, icasualties.org, 274 foreign troopers, 211 of them US personnel, have lost their lives in Afghanistan so far this year. A total of 566 US-led forces died in Afghanistan in 2011. However, 2010 remains the deadliest year on record for foreign military casualties, with a death toll of 711. The high number of military casualties in Afghanistan has intensified opposition in the United States and other NATO member states to the protracted war in the country. Insecurity continues to rise across Afghanistan, despite the presence of about 130,000 US-led forces in the country. The 2001-present US-led war in Afghanistan, with civilian and military casualties at record highs, has become the longest military conflict in the American history. MR/HN

One of the questions we get asked all the time is: "Can I use COMSOL Multiphysics for solving my fluid-structure interactions problems?" Of course the answer is yes, so let's talk a little about the various fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling techniques. Along the way, we will introduce the add-on modules you will need for these various types of analyses.Read more ⇢
Walter Frei | April 9, 2014
In a previous posting, we looked at computing and controlling the volume of a cavity filled with an incompressible fluid, which solved for the static deformation of a fluid-filled rubber seal. In that example, we did not explicitly model the fluid, but added an equation to solve for the pressure, assuming incompressibility of the fluid. Here, we will extend this approach and include the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid in the deforming container.Read more ⇢

It is well-known that you can use the RF Module to compute the impedance of lossless transmission line structures, such as coaxial cables of uniform cross section. But did you know that you can also compute an effective impedance for waveguides with non-uniform cross section? Let's find out how!Read more ⇢
Walter Frei | February 17, 2014
COMSOL's Optimization Module is a powerful tool for improving the performance of your devices and systems. Here, we will look at optimizing the power applied to two heaters in a flow channel with the objective of heating up the fluid as much as possible as it passes through the channel, while constraining the peak temperature at the heaters themselves. One application of this technique is improving the efficiency of thermal processes.Read more ⇢
Walter Frei | February 11, 2014
When solving a thermal processing problem, such as the heating or cooling of a part, it is desirable to change the heating, or cooling, based upon the computed solution. That is, we may want to include a feedback loop into our model. In this article, we will set up a feedback loop using a component coupling to turn a heat load on or off depending upon the temperature of the part being heated.Read more ⇢
Walter Frei | February 3, 2014
There are various ways of handling interactions between fluids and solids in COMSOL. You can, for example, explicitly model the fluid using the full Navier-Stokes equations for the pressure and fluid velocity fields. Although that can be a very accurate approach, it's much more expensive than is needed for certain types of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problems. Here, we'll introduce a method for modeling enclosed volumes containing incompressible fluids, under the additional assumption that the momentum and energy transfer via the […]Read more ⇢
Walter Frei | January 17, 2014
We often want to model an electromagnetic wave (light, microwaves) incident upon periodic structures, such as diffraction gratings, metamaterials, or frequency selective surfaces. This can be done using the RF or Wave Optics modules from the COMSOL product suite. Both modules provide Floquet periodic boundary conditions and periodic ports and compute the reflected and transmitted diffraction orders as a function of incident angles and wavelength. This blog post introduces the concepts behind this type of analysis and walks through the […]Read more ⇢
Walter Frei | January 8, 2014
When you are working with foreign CAD data, such as files in STEP or IGES file formats, you may think that you need to re-import a new CAD file and start your modeling over from scratch if you want to study a change in size or shape. But, in fact, you can modify the geometry that you've imported with some clever usage of the Deformed Geometry interface in COMSOL Multiphysics. Here, we will look at how this can be done.Read more ⇢
Walter Frei | December 27, 2013
One of the perennial questions in finite element modeling is how to choose a mesh. We want a fine enough mesh to give accurate answers, but not too fine, as that would lead to an impractical solution time. As we've discussed previously, adaptive mesh refinement lets the software improve the mesh, and by default it will minimize the overall error in the model. However, we often are only interested in accurate results over some subset of the entire model space. […]Read more ⇢

Here's a little tip: If you ever get into TV news reporting, be sure to know if you're shooting a live segment or package to be edited later. Not knowing the difference can lead to some embarassing live exclamations, like when this reporter gets caught up while going over a hockey story.
You were doing so well, and then you did even better my friend. Thank you for your service.

I'm don't really like Vanessa but Jessica looks amazing here!And that chocolate cake looks yummy(:
i HATE her she ruins gossip girl, sometimes i just want to punch her :@
She does look better than that hoer leighton who calls herself making a disgusting little tape her and blake are awesome.
wow so much jealousy in you girls. honestly she must a be a greater actress, because only a great actor/actress can make their audience feel such a strong emotion. so people please just get over your jess hate cus shes here to stay : )
wow yall haters needs to SHUT IT jessica looks pretty are yall that stupid shes not vanessa for real and yall just jealous cause shes dating ed(chuck)that because his character goes with blair does not necessary means he has to go out with Leighton in reality gosh u lowlifes REALLY need to get a LIFE
She is so beautiful and she looks hot in this photo;)
actually, she is very pretty. and people, let's not confuse characters and the actor themselves.. jeez..
wow what a slut
gossip girl would be way better without her
she isn't even really pretty
She's really pretty but I must agree Vanessa is terrible character, it's not even the acting, she's just a side character that they throw in from time to time trying to make things interesting and doing the opposite. I actually feel bad for Jessica, I mean Leighton Meester is hard to share a screen with, AND she's dating Ed Westwick, whom all the Chair fans want to see date in real life, like Penn and Blake. She's screwed.
U R right!
I mean..She can't even act!!
Why does she RUINING Gossip Girl?
Without HER, everything would be much BETTER!
Send her back to VERMOUNT!
And to Jessica: Is she really THAT desperate?!
She should go.Leave Gossip GIrl and never come back again..
Perhaps in season 3 she's hitten by a car?
*pleaaaaaseeee!* *praying*
We don'T like her.
My label for her:
Desperate BitC*
And as U know..
Labels stick ;)

UPDATE: Three Arrests After Friday Night Shooting
JACKSON, Tenn. - JPD calls Friday night shooting at Taco Bell a "drug deal gone wrong."
Officers arrested two - Preston Gray, 23, of Enville, and Allen Evans, 36, of Chicago. Both face charge of especially aggravated robbery. Evans faces two additional weapons charges. Gray faces drug and evading charges.
Police say a woman in the car with the victim was also arrested on an outstanding warrant. Tracey Chambliss, 30, of Madison County, is charged with violation of community corrections and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The victim, a 29-year-old man from Madison County, was shot in both legs and released from the hospital around 3 a.m., according to JPD.
Investigators believe Gray set up the drug deal with the victim. They met at the Taco Bell, where officers said the victim tried to sell Gray and Evans fake drugs packaged as real narcotics. During the exchange, according to police, Evans took the drugs then demanded money. When the victim refused, he was shot.
Officers recovered a gun and the simulated drugs in Gray's car. The gun had previously been reported stolen in Madison County.
Officers were lead on a brief chase. They used spike strips and a PIT maneuver to stop the car driven by Gray at Fernlawn St. and Cherry Place. Neither Gray nor Evans were seriously injured.
Gray, Evans and Chambliss were taken to the Madison County Jail.

Isn't this what everyone on APUG hates about digital - act now think later?
It's about peeling away the fluff (be it collodion, color, lith affects, etc) and seeing the composition (for me at least).
Intention and the what becomes the final result sometimes are a nice surprise
