Microsoft offering free Touch Cover to Surface RT buyers
Microsoft has started offering free Touch or Type covers to those who who pick up a Surface RT in the US or UK. The tablet, which retails for £399, is clearly undergoing a bit of a sales push from Microsoft as it struggles to compete against the likes of the iPad.
The Touch Cover accessory is usually around £99 when sold separately, with the Type cover costing £109. Quite a significant saving then for those considering investing in the new Microsoft kit. Microsoft has said the offer is only for a limited time but is yet to go into exact date specifics.
Read: Microsoft Surface RT review
Also included in the deal is the limited edition Touch Covers, which boast designs from various different artists. It's an impressive giveaway and one that is irritatingly not being applied to the Surface Pro. This does however give you a £20 saving on Office if you fancy picking one up.
The Touch Cover offer has been available in the UK for a while now, but the US launch is much more recent. Perhaps Microsoft plans on giving away covers permanently with its Surface tablets, or at least including them in money saving bundles. After all they are one of the biggest draws of the device.

Samsung Galaxy S III with the Galaxy Muse (Photo: Business Wire)
The corrected release reads:
New device expands Galaxy sharing capabilities with music management directly from a smartphone
Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (Samsung Mobile) – the No. 1 mobile phone provider in the United States and a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the No. 1 smartphone provider worldwide1 – is giving Galaxy™ smartphone users in the United States an amazing new way to enjoy music on the go called Galaxy Muse™. Coupled with the Muse Sync Android™ app, Samsung is providing Galaxy S® III and Galaxy Note® II owners an innovative new way of syncing music that frees them from their PC2.
Galaxy Muse is a small, lightweight MP3 player that shares several physical features and design aesthetics with the latest Galaxy smartphones, including a rounded, natural design and matching Pebble Blue and Marble White color scheme. In addition, Galaxy Muse provides users up to six hours of play time, 4 GB of memory, and rich, spacious sound quality thanks to Samsung SoundAlive® optimized audio technology. With SoundAlive, users notice deeper bass and enhanced tone when listening to their favorite songs, as SoundAlive intelligently adjusts sound quality and clarity.
Users can get their music on the Galaxy Muse by simply downloading the Muse Sync app from the Google Play™ marketplace or Samsung Apps. After connecting Galaxy Muse to the Galaxy S III or Galaxy Note II via the included connector cable (USB to 3.5mm headset jack), users can sync the songs they want and leave their phone behind. Due to its wearable design and small form factor, users can take Muse along in place of their smartphone as a portable music player at the gym or on the go. Galaxy Muse also comes equipped with a durable, built-in clip for attaching the device to a shirt or pocket, so it's wearable and offers the convenience of hands-free listening. Within this compact and clean design, Muse offers enough capacitive controls to become a user's primary music player. Skip, shuffle, pause, or go back and listen to your favorite song again and again.
"The Galaxy Muse expands the Samsung Galaxy product portfolio to offer music on-the-go in a compact and lightweight player, with songs shared directly from our award-winning smartphones," said Kevin Packingham, chief product officer at Samsung Mobile. "Muse is the latest example of Samsung delivering another outlet for content consumption across the entire spectrum of consumer electronics."
Galaxy Muse is available in Pebble Blue and Marble White for $49.99 at Samsung.com. The Samsung Muse Sync mobile application is available free from Samsung Apps and the Google Play marketplace.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity.

Summer selling prediction: HOT
November 04, 2011
Summer 2011-12 is predicted to be HOT for property sales with many people looking at the options in the market in the lead up to the summer break and using their time to hunt for the right property – which could be yours!
The more people who look at a property, the greater the chance of selling it.
It is important to prepare your property for sale as good presentation will give you an edge over the competition.
First impressions are important and may influence a prospective buyer's decision to come into your home.
Be objective, and take a look at your property from a buyer's perspective. Aim to make your home inviting - make it bright and cheerful, in keeping with the season.
Our top tips to help make your home a summer sensation:
- Check that your home looks attractive from the street and make sure the streetscape and front entrance are tidy and clean;
- Arrange some fresh flowers in a prominent place;
- Let natural light into the rooms;
- Clean windows and curtains;
- Make sure there is air flow and a good temperature via fans or air conditioning;
- Wash walls to make the property look clean and bright;
- The smell of flowers, brewed coffee or baking makes a home inviting;
- Storage space sells, so clean out your cupboards to make them seem bigger;
- Clean up after your pets. Keep their toys, litter trays and food bowls out of the way;
- Sweep paths and patios, and remove spider webs from the eaves;
- Make your garden look its best. Remove rubbish from the garden, weed, and prune shrubs and trees. Plan ahead and plant some flowers so they will be in bloom when your property goes on the market;
- Make necessary repairs, e.g. fix the garden gate or the tear in the flyscreen;
- Make sure the property is tidy. Any clutter will detract from its appeal; and
- Make kitchens and bathrooms sparkling clean. They are the rooms used most by the family and how they look will affect buyer's overall impression of the property.
Remember that people want to buy a dream.
Make your home look like your buyers dream by ensuring it is neat and tidy and the garden is healthy and cared for. A property purchase may be a business transaction, but emotions can win a sale. If it is love at first sight, a potential buyer will bend over backwards to play down any shortcomings.
And remember your local LJ Hooker agent is there to help if you need an appraisal or any advice on making the most of your home.

The Heidrun platform came on stream on 18 October 1995. When the plan for development and operation (PDO) was submitted to the authorities four years earlier, the estimated production from the field was slightly more than 750 million barrels of oil.
When cargo number one thousand was shipped, the field had delivered almost 820 million barrels.
"The production regularity has been impressive through the 14 years on stream," said Victor Sneberg, vice president for Heidrun production. And there is more oil and gas in store. The field will now undergo major upgrading, ensuring operations for 20 years to come. The upgrading of the gas processing capacity is underway, and will provide further benefits for the field and its owners.
"We are facing a highly challenging tail production which will be technologically and economically demanding. There are exciting times ahead for the Heidrun organisation," Sneberg said. The shuttle tanker Randgrid had the pleasure of transporting the milestone cargo from Heidrun. The tanker arrived at StatoilHydro's crude oil terminal at Mongstad near Bergen on S9 August. The shuttle tankers transporting oil from Heidrun have been sailing safely without accidents between the field and the various terminals.

Mario Chanes de Armas, who has died in Miami at the age of 80, sailed from Mexico to Cuba in 1956 with Fidel Castro and Ernesto Che Guevara to launch the Cuban revolution. Two years after the revolution's success, after criticising Castro's lurch towards Moscow and communism, he was summarily jailed by his former comrade for 30 years.
Chanes de Armas served his full sentence, six years of it in solitary confinement in a windowless cell in which he could barely stand up, making him the longest-serving political prisoner in the western hemisphere at the time.
Well, almost his full sentence. In an effort to keep it quiet from the international media, Mr Castro released him the day before his 30-year term was completed.
The first thing Chanes did was to visit the grave of his only son Mario, who had been born soon after his father was jailed and who had died unexpectedly aged 22. Chanes had not been allowed to attend the funeral because he refused to sign up to to a "re-education" programme.
Chanes spent longer in jail than Nelson Mandela. Unlike Mandela, however, the stories of Chanes and his fellow Cuban political prisoners received little publicity outside the Cuban exile community in Miami. Although he had fought alongside Mr Castro at every stage of the revolution, Chanes's name, and image, were personally stricken from Cuba's history books by Mr Castro himself.
Mario Chanes de Armas was born in Havana in 1926. Following Batista's 1952 military coup , he joined the pro-democracy underground and met Mr Castro, then a young, bearded law student who was impressed by Chanes' leadership qualities.
In 1953 Fidel Castro, in the first of a convoy of cars – Chanes was in the third - launched a foolhardy attack on the barracks in Santiago. Half the attackers were killed or captured. Both men were arrested but released under an amnesty 20 months later.
In 1956 Castro, Chanes and Guevara sailed to Cuba aboard the overcrowded cabin cruiser Granma. Tipped off in advance, Batista's forces largely decimated the group but Castro escaped to the Sierra Maestra mountains and Chanes went underground.
Caught by Batista's agents during a dynamite-smuggling run from the Florida Keys, he was jailed and was still in an underground dungeon in Havana when in 1959 Batista was forced to flee the country. Supporters freed Chanes and he was there to greet Castro when he and his guerrillas finally rumbled into the capital.
Chanes felt his mission was complete. He turned down a position as a comandante of the revolutionary forces and joined his family's brewery business. It soon became clear, however, that democracy had not been restored. Castro had become increasingly pro-Communist, shattering the illusions of Chanes and many others who had supported him.
"His incendiary, nine-hour speeches had a vehement irrationality I wouldn't have expected from my former comrade-in-arms," he later wrote. "The democratic nature of our discussions was gone from his new harangues."
In 1961, five months after Chanes was married, Castro's agents accused him of plotting to assassinate the leader, and he was summarily jailed for 30 years - ironically, just as under Batista, for "subversion." Chanes insisted all his life that the charges were trumped up because of his outspoken opposition.
Of his years in jail Chanes said: "I watched men get shot, point blank, beaten with bayonets, arbitrarily pulled out and punished. But we were alone. The world didn't know."
Even after his release in 1991, aged 64, Castro refused his former comrade permission to leave the country. It was only in 1993 that he was allowed to emigrate to Miami. The following month, he was invited to the White House by President Bill Clinton, who described him as "one of the heroes of our time, a living testimony to the unbending will to strive for liberty and dignity."
Chanes never showed bitterness about his years in Castro's jails, saying they had never crushed his spirit. "After my release, during my two years in Cuba, I realized that no-one on the island was free anyway. I don't have feelings of hatred or vengeance. Vengeance is for cowards."

The police force is set on shaking any lingering perceptions of being a blokey "boys' club", with a new reality TV show called Women in Blue.
The TVNZ show, in the style of Police 10-7, is part of a gender-focused recruitment drive kickstarted by new commissioner Mike Bush yesterday, in the wake of Dame Margaret Bazley's damning 2007 report on an uneven culture within police ranks.
Her commission of inquiry found women were under-represented at senior levels, and that there was a culture of nepotism and discrimination.
Police set a series of five-year targets in response to the report, and a workplace survey last year showed it had made some headway, with fewer women reporting misconduct than in previous years.
However, 19 per cent of policewomen indicated having experienced or witnessed inappropriate workplace conduct, compared with 14.7 per cent of men, and 74 per cent of women felt the problem was not handled appropriately.
Bush said yesterday that a culture of discrimination was not tolerated at any level, and systems such as police liaisons for women to report to at district level were in place in the case of any ill-treatment.
He and Police Minister Anne Tolley jointly called for more women to swell police ranks, and introduced a Women's Advisory Network to ensure women's careers progressed as smoothly as men's.
The number of women among the force of 8845 constables has increased by 46 per cent over the past 10 years, with women now accounting for nearly 20 per cent of that rank.
That was a long way from the first 10 policewomen chosen in 1941, Tolley said. They were recruited through advertisements for single or widowed ladies, and were distinguished by their uniform of civilian hats, gloves and handbags.
Today, three policewomen have held the top rank of superintendent but there was still plenty of room for more in senior roles, Bush said. "We have a long way to grow."
Women in Blue, produced by Eyeworks NZ, will star seven budding policewomen, including Sergeant Caroline Martin of Wellington and Hutt Valley Constables Jacqui Rodger and Zoe Eginton.
When Rodger was a girl she dreamed of being a teacher, but later "I used to watch the police cars whizz past on the way to Hutt jobs and think, 'that looks like fun'."
Now she had her dream job - although she admitted she did not tell her parents all of her work stories as some could be a "bit gritty".

ISAA Singlehanded National Championship - Cressy Trophy up for grabs
by Sherri Campbel on 10 Nov 2012
Cressy Championship
The 2012 ISAA Singlehanded National Championship, to be held off the Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier, is expected to draw 36 of the finest high school sailors across the United States as they battle it out for the coveted Cressy Trophy this weekend in Long Beach, California.
Racing is scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, and 10:15 a.m. Sunday, conditions permitting. All on-land activities will be based at the US Sailing Center-Long Beach, and racing can be watched from the pier. The event is organized by the Interscholastic Sailing Association in conjunction with the host US Sailing Center-Long Beach.
The participants will compete in two fleets of 18 Laser Standard Full Rigs and Laser Radials. Sailors have earned spots by qualifying at championship regattas in their respective districts.
Mitchell Kiss, last year's Radial fleet champion, will compete in the Laser Standard fleet. He represents Black River High School in Holland, MI. Mitchell also won a bronze medal at the 2012 Laser Radial Youth World Championship.
In the Radial division, several returning competitors will make for stiff competition. Malcolm Lamphere of Lake Forest High School, Lake Forest, IL; Gary Prieto, Southold High School, Southold, NY; Andrew Puopolo, Stuyvesant High School, New York, NY; and Jack Marshall, Buckingham Browne and Nichols, Cambridge, MA all finished in the top 10 of last year's Radial fleet.
Long Beach should serve up a mix of clouds and sun this weekend, with the forecasts predicting temperatures in the low 60s and the possibility of showers on Saturday. The most important forecast for the sailors though does include prediction of good wind for both days of competition.
For scoring updates and information, follow the regatta
