Samsung's Magna Carta app for free Jay-Z album lands on Google Play
Samsung has launched the Magna Carta app on Google Play.
The smartphone manufacturer previously promised a free copy of Jay-Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail to Galaxy owners when the album releases in July, and now the company has followed through with a dedicated smartphone app that will enable fans to download the record.
Only 1 million Galaxy S 4, S III and Note II owners will have access to the album, as well as behind-the-scenes footage, lyrics and track sharing options. Those who download the app can even listen to Magna Carta Holy Grail three days before the rest of the world.
The free app is now live on Google Play, but the album is not available until 4 July. The global release date for Jay-Z's new album is set for 7 July.
Read: Samsung to offer new Jay-Z album free via smartphone app on 4 July
Samsung also created a video earlier this month to show off Jay-Z's recording process and help tease its special app. Check out the video below.

Art Review
A Lot With a Little?
Bryce Hample's Paintings at Winning Coffee
By Sam Adams
Bryce Hample's collection of six 50-by-50-inch paintings at Winning Coffee is a study in abstract minimalism. He employs vast plateaus of muted tones shifting across large canvas and plywood backdrops. Of the six pieces, the majority are large fields of black, gray, white and ochre rust, some with subtle tone gradations. The paint might have been slathered on with a palette knife in a freeform fury. Three of the pieces are marked with splintery holes. One looks like it was riddled with bullets, another like it was beat and stomped upon by an angry dwarf.
Book Review
Heather Brewer's First Kill adds to the pool of hormonal vampirism
Review by John Bear
This whole vampires-with-problems craze has gotten out of hand. The Twilight series is like the British Invasion of pretty-boy bloodsuckers and sexy werewolves. Think of the merchandise alone: key chains, socks, cardboard cutouts. Bookstores should sell books, not Team Edward T-shirts. It's as omnipresent and irritating as Harry Potter was 10 years ago. For casual readers who sharpen their bedposts any time they see a pale man lurking outside their bedroom window, there is The Slayer Chronicles: First Kill by Heather Brewer.

Julian Schnabel Gains Triumph Over 'Miral' 's Rating
Moviemaker Julian Schnabel has won his appeal against the 'R' rating for new movie "Miral". The director argued his film - about a Palestinian orphan growing up amid the violence in Israel - was aimed at teenagers, so it would give them a better understanding of the religious strife in the Middle East. He told the Motion Picture Association of America's appeals board that censors had been unduly restrictive - and the officials agreed, handing his movie a softer PG-13 rating.
Schnabel's victory comes a day after he penned an essay for The Huffington Post blog, in which he defended his appeal plans. The film is based on the life of Schnabel's Palestinian girlfriend, Rula Jebreal, and adapted from her 2004 novel of the same name.
The filmmaker's appeal is the latest victory for bosses at The Weinstein Company, who are backing the movie - just last month, they won an appeal to have the 'R' rating removed from Oscar-winning movie "The King's Speech" in return for cutting out a scene featuring expletives. As a result, both PG-13 and R-rated versions of the Colin Firth film are now in U.S. cinemas.

Repair costs for Long Island municipalities hit by Superstorm Sandy could top $520 million.
Newsday reports that the bill reflects the most recent estimates for the island's 13 towns, two cities and 10 of its hardest-hit villages.
Among the big-ticket items is Long Beach's destroyed boardwalk, estimated to cost $25 million. The ferry terminal and boathouse in Ocean Beach could cost $1 million to repair.
Municipalities are looking to FEMA for help.
FEMA usually reimburses three-quarters of the cost of emergency cleanup and repairs after a natural disaster. But it is a reimbursement program in which money must be expended first.
Officials also are contemplating tapping already strained budgets to pay for the work.

Reid hopeful problems are behind her
Relevant offers
For someone who cannot help but stay active, the past six weeks have been tough for Timaru's Black Stick Cass Reid.
Surgery to relieve compartment syndrome in her calf muscles in January means today will be the first time she will go for a run to test how the recovery is going.
''I basically found out in October that I had compartment syndrome in both legs which meant I had to have surgery to relieve the pressure.
''What was happening was my muscles weren't getting enough blood flowing to them and naturally they expand during exercise which was putting pressure on [the legs].
''So I'm about six weeks removed from surgery and it will be another six weeks before I'm back into things again.''
The 19-year-old former Craighead striker turned New Zealand mid-fielder said while the injury came at a tough time, she was pleased to have a confirmed diagnosis.
''It's been frustrating but it was nice to finally know what the problem was and hopefully it will make a big difference to my hockey.''
The 23-test player said she expected to make a full recovery and her trademark speed, which had earned her a surprise national callup straight out of high school in 2012, would return.
''Not being able to run has meant I've had to focus on other areas like my stick control and ball skills and trying to do more in the gym.''
The surgery has also put her chances of making the squad for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in severe doubt
''You can't rule yourself out, you never know what the coaches are thinking but if I miss out then at least I have [National Hockey League] in September.''
Reid's last chance to make an impression on national coach Mark Hager and earn a trip to Glasgow will be at the national under-21 tournament in May where she will represent Canterbury.
''That will be 15 weeks after the surgery, so hopefully I'll be ready to go.
''I certainly won't be at my peak fitness levels but hopefully I'll be able to show what I can do.''

Is he accurate- his receivers are always wide open, lol
I wish the best for Jaylon Smith. This scenario reinforces the student in student athlete. I hope he realizes his NFL dreams. If not, I hope that he has his degree and realizes a new dream. This should make all young men think twice about the opportunities available to them and that a career in professional football is not guaranteed; in fact, it is exclusive.
As stated before, this program appears to need a culture change. Strip away the entitlement, hit the weight room, and bring back hard nosed basketball. Maybe it's time to shake up the assistant coaching staff and get some new blood in here. I'm a Matta guy, but I don't like this "trend".
Thanks Curt!

If Marv Lewis is having to talk Vontage down, why not just get him off the field? He was a liability at that point...Pac man has been a train wreck for years.they looked like the U in their heyday. Great players -zero discipline. As far as RFS I think he should have been flagged. But, he had a shot at McCarron on the sideline and pulled up, I think Vontage would have taken the shot.
Thanks Curt!

QQ Buckwheat crepes and pancakes???
Why use buckwheat flour if you can use all purpose flour to cook crepes?
According to Wikipedia, buckwheat is a plant cultivated for its grain-like seeds. Despite its name, buckwheat is NOT related to wheat and is also often mistaken as a cereal grain. Instead, buckwheat is related to rhubarb and sorrel.
So this means that food that is made with buckwheat (with no wheat) is gluten-free!!! Absolutely!!! For people who are not allergy or sensitive to gluten like me, it is nice to know that buckwheat flour is also a healthy ingredient to use for cooking as it is high in fibre and protein, rich in vitamins and minerals and has yummy nutty flavour.
So what is the QQ?
"QQ" in Chinese term means chewy food with bouncy texture. I reckon the use of buckwheat flour has made crepes and pancakes a little different from those that are made with wheat flour (aka all purpose or plain flour). Different because they are extra QQ with nice nutty earthy flavours to enjoy! Yummie....
Here, I like to recommend two very good basic buckwheat recipes that I have tried, enjoyed and adored.

"Awesome book"
Listened to it a few time! Highly recommended to anyone interested in history. The movie was good but the book is ten times better.
Audio Queen
It made me believe I was living those times and places. But not to say anything about the great narration, which is the source of the wonder of those times, would be misleading.
Team of Rivals is one of the best books I have ever listened to. So well written, You Laugh, you cry, you anger; you sadden, you appreciate, you yell at these enlightening persons, you want to kill. The emotions Team of Rivals grabs from you are intensely real.
You can not do it, but if you could you bet.
To not listen to this book because you believe it to be tooo many hours, is a big mistake.
I believe some of the persons looking forward to running for President should definitely listen to it.
"Great story, well read...but long for an audible book"
I enjoyed the book quite a bit and definitely learned a lot about Lincoln I did not know. My only issue was the length considering I usually listen for only 30 minutes at a time. Of course I knew that going in...
I would still highly recommend the book. Lots of lessons for anyone. I have a new appreciate for Lincoln.
"This inspiring book is so fascinating it reads like a thriller"
From the first sentence this book captivates; with the detailed history of Abraham Lincoln and his cabinet. It is difficult to understand how relevant to this day the politics and tactics of the great politician and statesman Lincoln are.
Any politician should read it and will benefit. Any history lover ought read it.
Lincoln possessed a greatness of moral, of dealing with people, and above all a greatness of character.
I loved this book and recommend listening to it through audiobook, as I did, every morning while commuting and at the treadmill. The book is as long as 'war and peace' and if you're busy with your career as I am, it might be difficult to finish if you attempt to read instead of listen through audiobook.
"Captivating insight into a truly great leader"
Suzanne Toren does a masterful job narrating this story which is primarily about men from a male perspective.
There are certainly intriguing female characters in this book but it is first and foremost about Lincoln and his relationships with other men from his father to his colleagues on the judicial circuit to his cabinet, generals and trusted allies.
Most American children are instilled with a respect for Lincoln and in my own education I was early on instructed that Lincoln "freed the slaves" and later came to understand more of his role in the civil war. What most Americans lack is an understanding of the time, the place, the circumstances that brought Lincoln to the presidency and the masterful way that he administered the office.
This book brings Lincoln to life in ways that were certainly new to me and gave me a much deeper appreciation for the humility, courage and humanitarian nature of Lincoln. One of the best compliments I can offer is that after listening to this book I have Lincoln near the top of my "meet anyone from history" list.
This is not a quick listen but the Lincoln story was written over decades and is deserving of the extended telling. This is the story of a modern day figure that shaped the world we live in, regardless of where we live.
"Outstanding book. Outstanding narration"
After watching the movie Lincoln, I bought the book Team of Rivals. I got about a 1/3 of the way through it but then got distracted. So glad to have finished it thanks to Audible. Great read.
"Long but good worth the time"
Unabridged is the way to go. Would have preferred a different reader. Well researched using primary sources to support most of the assumptions.
Reading, listening and learning everyday
"Team of Rivals"
Story, performance, subject matter was all amazing. Learning and understanding the masterful way Lincoln selected and managed his cabinet is a further testament to his genius and effectiveness as arguably the greatest leader in the history of this country
Think you know Abe Lincoln
Read/listen to this amazing book, and find out
I am, again and again
"Speed it up"
The... reader... reads... so... slow... that... you... will... want... to... listen... to... it... at... 1.25x... or... 1.5x... speed... The reader mispronounces several words, too, but it's a great story -- well told by Goodwin.

MINSK - Belarus is banned from the Bologna process for at least another three years. The question of accession is completely removed from the agenda of the Summit of Ministers of Education of the European Higher Education Area, which will be held on April 26-27. Belarus will get a chance to join the Bologna process only in 2015.
BRUSSELS - The Erasmus Impact Study brings evidence of the need to continue to improve funding schemes and implement strategies to widen access to mobility programmes in higher education. The European Commission presented the findings of this report on 22 September.
Although student mobility has been increasing over the past years and the amount of students from a lower socioeconomic background has increased proportionally, mobility still remains a privilege of the few.. According to the survey, financial reasons constitute the biggest obstacle for mobility for more than fifty per cent of non-mobile students. This can for example be due to uncertainty about the costs of the study abroad or insufficient financial support. More than twenty per cent of the students claimed that the supporting grant would be insufficient to cover the costs.
Some worrying observations applied also to certain countries participating in the Erasmus programme. A majority of the outgoing Erasmus students from Spain is for example just supplemented with half of the average monthly support. Spanish students received €143 monthly grant, compared to Erasmus average of €272. More than 33 thousand students from Spain participated in mobility programmes in the last academic year.
"Many students refuse to file in the applications for the mobility programmes, because the financial support will not be enough to cover their living expenses abroad," says Erin Nordal, Vice-Chairperson of the European Students' Union. "We need to provide additional funding for student mobility in order to increase the accessibility of the programme. It is extremely important in order to increase the participation of students from underrepresented groups."
Barriers to mobility
Education and socio-economic background, age and special needs are also factors that influence the students' decision on whether they should go abroad. A majority of mobile students come from backgrounds where their parents received higher education themselves. Eighty per cent of all mobile students are between 21 and 26 years old. Other age groups are merely represented. Only 0,1 per cent of all participants of Erasmus mobility programme are students with disabilities. The new Erasmus+ programme offers improved opportunities for students with disabilities, but the Erasmus Impact Study brings additional evidence of the need for a long-term strategy to ensure accessibility to the Erasmus programme for all students.
Interestingly, students also still claim that one of the largest barriers is a lack of information about the Erasmus programme. Problems with the recognition of academic qualifications and uncertainty about the quality of the programmes are also mentioned.
"All students, regardless of their background should be able to take part in mobility programmes. The results of this study should encourage the EU, member states and the European Higher Education Area to take actions to ensure that the mobility programmes are accessible and inclusive. We also need to address the quality of mobility programmes and keep working on the automatic recognition of academic qualifications," emphasises Nordal.
For more information, please contact:
Erin Nordal, ESU's Vice-Chairperson: +32/479.126.390 // email@example.com or Robert Hlynur Baldursson, ESU Communications Manager: +32/473.669.894 // email@example.com
The European Students' Union, headquartered in Brussels, is the umbrella organisation of 47 national unions of students from 39 European countries. ESU represents and promotes the educational, social, economical and cultural interests of students at the European level. Through its member unions, ESU represents over 11 million students in Europe. To find out more about ESU, follow us on Twitter @ESUtwt, check out or Facebook page or visit www.esu-online.org. ESU celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2012.
The European Students' Union is looking for a creative and dynamic team player to fill the position of Communications Intern at its headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.
The European Students Union (ESU) would like to express our sincerest disappointment with the United Kingdom voting to leave the European Union. It is disconcerting to see that young people will have a future without the EU - one that they do not want, but that was decided by the baby-boomers, while 65% of young people voted to remain.
Between 20-21 May 2016, we were in Strasbourg representing students at the European Youth Event (EYE).During the event, ESU Executive Committee members: Liva Vikmane and Rebecka Stenkvist gave presentations and stirred discussions on the effect of TTIP on higher education, the negative effects of commodification of education and, respectively, on ways to make education more accessible for all and inclusive.
The Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations, standing committee of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations, agreed to recommend the European Students' Union for consultative status. This will be instrumental for ESU on its work on protecting students' rights and on our contribution to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
ESU stands up for a socially equitable and inclusive higher education system. It is crucial that everyone who is striving for a higher education also has the financial possibility to achieve this goal, regardless of their individual financial situation.
This is a statement, adopted at BM67 on the EU2020 and ET2020 strategies of the European Union.
A statement from Karina Ufert, Chairperson of ESU, concerning voting rights for Italian students that are engaged in mobility projects abroad dated 21 January 2013.
Ladies and gentlemen, in relation to this discussion, I would simply ask what and where would Europe be without Erasmus? We could, at first turn to those more than 2.2 million students that have already experienced Erasmus. It is clear to me, that this, let's call us the Erasmus generation, will build a different Europe than if this programme would not exist.

Man Decapitates Self When Police Come Following Domestic Disturbance
I saw this earlier. I didn't read it, but I wondered, "How can someone decapitate himself?"
A Fire Dept. officer noticed a cable attached to a nearby tree and wrapped around the neck of the driver. When deputies tried to get the man to leave the Explorer, he rapidly accelerated the SUV and was pulled from the vehicle and decapitated.
Dude must be a fan of Final Destination. Or The Hitcher.
And speaking of obscene mutilations: George Lucas now inserts "Noooo!" line from Revenge of the Sith into Return of the Jedi -- now Vader says "Nooo!" (apparently an out-take from Sith) when he tosses the Emperor into the nuclear shaft.
This will come in the blue-ray remasters, which are, supposedly, the final versions of the movie (until three years from now).
Oh My: It gets better and better. Check out Superman's new costume.
Thanks to Becki for the decapitation story.

During the great California gold rush, early prospectors sifted through rocks and streams in the hopes of finding a fortune. But bigger hauls were often claimed by going below the surface and digging deeply into mines, where a treasure trove of gold lay waiting to be unearthed. The gold rush may be ancient history, but there's still potential treasure to be tapped--and crises that can be prevented too-by companies that are willing to delve deep into their dark data.

iMakeNews, Inc. (IMN), an ecommunications service provider, has announced the launch of its Total Channel Communications service, designed to enable technology vendors to support their resellers with lead generation enewsletter campaigns.
Using the Internet-based service, vendors build professional enewsletters, populate them with articles and special offers, and then make them available to their reseller network. Resellers can add "localized" content, distribute the enewsletters under their own masthead to their secure customer lists, and then use IMN's analytics to track individual reader responses and uncover warm leads in real time. Vendors also gain aggregated data about the content and offers that are most popular with their end customers. Resellers can place the pre-written content of their choice within a specific template, add their own logo and articles as needed, and then "send." IMN's Web -based Total Channel Communications service manages all other functions for its resellers, including hosting, subscription list management and segmentation, tracking "bounce backs," managing opt-outs for anti-spam compliance, and more.

Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministry—a nonprofit that provides job training to veterans—is being sued by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which claims the ministry illegally refuses to provide some kinds of training to women.
According to the suit, male trainees can learn truck driving, culinary arts and "green jobs" skills. However, it says women are steered toward courses on yoga, knitting and how to "de-clutter" one's home.
The ministry is supported by 300 churches in Asheville and Buncombe County. However, it also receives funds from several federal sources, each of which requires recipients to provide services on an equal basis.
Executive Director Rev. Scott Rogers testified before Congress in March that the organization provides 24 job-training programs to male veterans and 16 to women. The SPLC pointed to the statement as evidence of discrimination in its complaint to the Department of Labor, the agency administering several of the nonprofit's grants.

Dick Harmon: A Mormon kid from Hawaii, Notre Dame's Manti Te'o inspires many
Alema Te'o's father Uiva had 17 children, nine boys and eight girls, and Manti Te'o's grandfather Ima was the oldest of those 17 children. Alema Te'o was the youngest brother. In the '50s, Uvia brought his family across the Pacific Ocean to the United States and that family became one of the first generations of Samoans to migrate to the mainland, settling in the San Francisco Bay area. In the '50s, some of Manti's uncle's — Lueli, Ma'a, Mafi and Filaga Te'o — played at Mission High School from 1955 to 1958, where they won two football championships. Uncle Taimane Te'o was an all-state linebacker for Castlemont High in the city of Oakland in the mid-'60's.
Manti's grandfather, Ima Te'o, and uncle Lueli Te'o, Alema's eldest brothers, were among the first group of missionaries of Samoan decent who left the mainland to return to Samoa to preach the gospel for the LDS faith. Manti's uncle, Lueli Te'o, served as an LDS mission president in Samoa.
The honors for Manti Teo this week are a culmination of acts by many before him. Teo comes from a long list of athletes from Laie, on the North Shore, players who also excelled but never got that kind of recognition. Athletes like Atuaia, at one time Hawaiis most dominating running back, and his teammate, BYU and NFL tight end Itula Mili, and Ute star Kautai Olevao to mention a few.
"Manti's pedigree in football was established by many of his relatives before he ever came along," said Atuaia, who was a sophomore running back at Kahuku when Manti's father Brian was a senior fullback. "If Manti wins the Heisman, it will be amazing, something to remember in Laie for all time, just like we remember Ty Detmer in Provo when he won it at BYU. This is a big deal to many people."
Manti's presence as a leader is not an act, said Atuaia. "His parents have done an outstanding job of raising him as a young man and he's been in that capacity since a young age and it's enhanced since he came to South Bend. That heightened scrutiny will continue."
Alema Te'o remembers how Manti began drawing attention when he came to the All-Poly Football camp in Utah as an eighth-grader. After that, recruiters from all over the country came to see him. That attention resulted in more than 40 Division I scholarships awarded at the camp this past year to athletes who attended. Because of Manti Te'o, the camp has exploded in recent years.
When Manti chose Notre Dame over his favorite team, USC, his relatives were surprised.
"Obviously we all knew Notre Dame was a Catholic school and a long, long ways from his home," recalled Alema Te'o. "I remember talking to his dad when Manti came home from his recruiting trip and all he could talk about is how cold it was over there. But he chose to sign there."
That he's had such an impact on and off the field in South Bend is no surprise to the people who know him.
Said Alema Te'o, "It was out of the box for everybody but obviously it was for the best and I think he's made such an impact not only (for) the people at Notre Dame but for the LDS Church. He has been a great ambassador for the church.
"I don't want to make a big deal that he did not go on a mission but he has touched more lives in one interview than some people do serving five missions. I'm not saying people should just go to college and not go on a mission, but Manti is one of those unique cases where it's worked out for him. I believe — and he realizes too — that in going to Notre Dame he could serve there, not only Notre Dame but the church as well. We are all proud of that.
"It's been great for Manti to be at the forefront. He is a very humble kid and he is always concerned about how other people feel and always tries to make sure others feel comfortable.
"The time has gone by so fast," Alema Te'o continued. "I remember traveling out to Notre Dame to see him start his first game as a freshman against the University of Washington and now he's going to graduate in a few weeks with a bachelor's degree.
"He's going to get his degree on top of everything else that has happened. He's been a great example to his brothers and sisters and a whole new generation of Te'os coming up and Polynesians in general."
Alema Te'o is a camp director for Pittsburgh Steeler and Samoan superstar Troy Polamalu, and the NFL star has invited Manti to go with him this summer to Samoa and help conduct a series of football camps during a 10-day trip.
"Hopefully, Manti can do this because it will be a big treat for him and the kids there. Manti has never been to Samoa in his life," said Alema.

Gitzo Series 1 Traveler -- Enough stability for the price?
Feb 16, 2014
After much online reading, I'm considering a Gitzo 1542T to use while traveling, principally because of the light weight and short length when folded. I really don't want to carry more than 3 - 3.5 lbs (legs + ball head) and < 18" seems like a great size for flexibility in packing. I have a DX body (D7100) and the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 is the heaviest lens I own. So is it crazy to spend $800-900 (legs + ball head) for a tripod that will still be somewhat top heavy? I understand that tripods are all about trade-offs, weight vs height vs. stability vs. cost, etc., but I'm looking for input as to whether this sort of travel tripod is likely to be a stable enough platform (since that's the main point of lugging a tripod around).

Instructors and students now have an easy way to track online quiz scores with the Norton Gradebook.
The ebook version of this book offers the full content of the print version at half the price.
W. W. Norton & Company has been independent since its founding in 1923, when William Warder Norton and Margaret D. Norton first published lectures delivered at the People's Institute, the adult education division of New York City's Cooper Union. The Nortons soon expanded their program beyond the Institute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and abroad. By mid-century, the two major pillars of Norton's publishing program-trade books and college texts-were firmly established. In the 1950s, the Norton family transferred control of the company to its employees, and today - with a staff of 400 and a comparable number of trade, college, and professional titles published each year - W. W. Norton & Company stands as the largest and oldest publishing house owned wholly by its employees.

Apple releases Apple TV Software 2.3.1
Apple has released Apple TV Software 2.3.1, the latest update to its HDTV-tethered media player. As a follow-up to version 2.3, the minor update breaks any unauthorized third-party software, such as the media center app Boxee, but no other changes are readily apparent. Reader reports indicate a couple of small bug fixes, however, Apple has yet to update its Apple TV software release notes page to explain what, if anything, has changed. Apple TV Software 2.3.1 is available now via the Update Software selection in the General Settings menu.
Update: Apple has since updated the release notes entry to include Software Update 2.3.1. The Network Test, which sends information about your Internet connection to Apple in order to help improve download performance, is the only new feature listed.

This was just a one-two punch for us dedicated ATV "hobbyists".
First Hulu gets taken off Boxee.
Then Boxee gets knocked off with this update.
Rationale here is that if there is no Hulu on Boxee, and Boxee has been wiped out that users will not bother to hack their ATV…
Guess what?... You're DEAD WRONG!

C'mon Apple. Let's see an AppleTV app store, and a legitimized Boxee. They're not competing with iTunes, they're adding value to a product that you continue to try to break.

I care nothing about what you hackers are doing to your Apple TV. All I want is stability. Mine crashes regularly playing audio.

I love my AppleTV and have put up with a lot, however I am getting fed up with iTunes and it's lack of quality video media. I was so surprised and happy that they released HDTV shows and I thought it would become the new video standard. But no, Music Videos and even some Movies look less than par on my TV. Maybe AppleTV would be more successful if iTunes's video content was actually encoded to be viewed on a television and not just an iPod, iPhone.

The fact that an Apple TV update removes unsupported software is not surprising, since the update basically reapplies the entire Apple TV operating system (hence a large download for what is essentially a very minor update).
Since Boxee is a hack/patch for the Apple TV OS, it naturally needs to be reapplied after you do an upgrade in much the same way as you would need to reinstall third-party software after you reinstall your computer's operating system.
Apple is not deliberately trying to "breaking" Boxee here, and in fact you can pull out the same patchstick with the 2.3.1 update and easily re-apply Boxee. However, it's a bit unreasonable to expect that Apple should spend time releasing updates that tip-toe around unsupported third-party software.

All I want to see is an update for the addition of Safari browser, wireless keyboard and mouse and open up playing of more video formats. Is that too much to ask of a video and music player? Apple, stop pussyfooting around and get it done. How difficult can it be!!!

I cannot understand what people are complaining about. Apple have released an upgrade for their product - as has been previously said, many Apple customers just want stability and speed. The upgrade has achieved improvements with both of these for me.
I have Boxee and I will re-apply the patch-stick… because I chose to hack the product in the first place. I certainly don't expect Apple to accommodate this.
Notwithstanding any of the above - the Apple TV remains a product that could do better but my main gripe is the iTunes pricing structure which is set far to high - particularly for older movie and TV content.
I don't think our friends at Apple are stupid of ignorant but they are bound by good business sense. Rightly or wrongly they are largely controlled by the distributors of their content and movie studios are not going to sit back and be happy with Boxee. So, if users want it, they will have to live with the work-around.
As for the keyboard, Safari - they have that - it's called a Mac Mini.
