CES: Toshiba adds Wacom stylus input to Encore 2 Write
Toshiba has unveiled an update to last years' Encore 2 Windows tablet, adding stylus input to the device. Not to be outdone by its premium stablemate, the cheaper Encore 2 Write has a similar 2,048-levels of pressure sensitivity via a Wacom digitizer for both the 10.1-inch and 8-inch versions of the tablet, and ships with extra productivity apps designed to get the most from the stylus.
Toshiba introduces Excite Go 7-inch Android, Encore 2 Windows tablets
Toshiba has introduced a trio of tablets, with one running Android and the others on Windows 8.1. The Excite Go continues Toshiba's Excite range of Android devices, while the Encore 2 tablets follow on from the original, offering 8-inch and 10-inch displays with a resolution of 1280x800 packed into a 0.4-inch device that's considerably thinner than their predecessor.

Starz breaks with Netflix, plans to pull content February 28
(Update: Netflix responds) Netflix took a large hit on Thursday after Starz said it had broken off talks to renew a content deal. Under current conditions, the TV channel provider would pull the movies and other pay TV content it licenses out to Netflix on February 28, 2012. Its statement tried to portray Netflix as cheapening its service and that it was purportedly doing its content a service by shopping for deals elsewhere.

WhatsApp now handles over 100M calls daily
WhatsApp is celebrating that it is being used for over 100 million calls every day. In a brief notice, the Facebook-owned messaging platform advises the voice-calling feature it rolled out to its users last year now deals with an average of over 1,100 calls initiated per second. Earlier this year, it increased the security of its calls and other messages, by introducing end-to-end encryption on all platforms. http://bit.ly/292HqCX
Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu
SanDisk iXpand case has battery, storage
A new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s case from SanDisk appears to be the "holy grail" of accessories: a stylish and protective case that offers both extra storage as well as the option of extra battery power as well. The iXpand Memory case offers either 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of additional storage incorporated into the case, and an optional add-on battery pack (sold separately) adds up to an extra day or more of charge. Through the associated iXpand app, camera photos and videos can be automatically stored on the extra storage, optionally password-protected, The cost for the case is (in order of storage capacity) $60, $100, and $130. The battery pack's release data has not yet been announced, but the add-on should retail for an additional $30. http://bit.ly/291epHu
Fifth Hong Kong store to open June 30
The 46th official Apple store in what the company calls the "Greater China" region will open at 10AM local time in Hong Kong's New Town Plaza in the Sha Tin district on Thursday, June 30, according to a new page on Apple's retail website. Despite slowing growth due to economic turmoil in China, the country is still Apple's fastest-growing market. The new story will be the fifth for Hong Kong, a lucrative market for Apple thanks to the high concentration of wealth there and a thriving "gray" market. Normal store hours for the new store will be 10AM to 10PM every day. http://apple.co/291diaT
Apple Music bug bites very short songs
There appears to be a reproducible bug in the current version of iTunes -- version 12.4.1, running on OS X 10.11.5, both the current non-beta versions of the respective software -- that causes a streamed song to become "stuck" in endless buffering if the streamed item just before this happened was 60 seconds or less in length. The problem appears to stem from code in iTunes that signals the next track to start downloading one minute before the currently-playing track is done, and thus songs shorter than one minute don't trigger the download. Locally-stored music is unaffected by the bug, and the problem does not appear to exist in either the macOS Sierra developer beta or versions of iTunes earlier than 12.4, and does not affect the iOS Music app at all. http://bit.ly/291cN0l
Walmart Pay expands to 15 states
Walmart, one of the key progenitors of the failed CurrentC mobile payment system that was distinguished from Apple Pay by its ability to collect and share customer financial and buying data among its participants, has expanded the soft rollout of its alternative solution "Walmart Pay" to an additional 15 US states following a pilot program in Arkansas and Texas last month. Walmart continues to resist adding Apple Pay. The system, built into the Walmart app for iOS and Android, works with a complicated system of the camera scanning a purchase code at the register, then generating a QR code which is then scanned by the register. The system is available now in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, DC. http://apple.co/28SqZfu
Amazon refreshes entry-level Kindle

Two versions of the all-new Kindle are available, priced at $80 including "Special Offers" and $100 without. http://amzn.to/28Q4c3R

Ubuntu heads for the mainstream
Mark Shuttleworth, millionaire cosmonaut and self-funded Linux guru, has managed to make his Ubuntu project the Linux distribution of choice in just two years. But now the friendly brown OS with the cute drumming noises faces an awkward journey towards the commercial mainstream.
Ubuntu has had quite a ride in those two years. By many benchmarks, it's the most popular Linux flavour there is. It's top of the Distrowatch download chart, and it's the distro most frequently installed on Dell PCs – according to Michael Dell himself.
But while it has achieved a certain mindshare among the initiated, it still hasn't quite broken through to the corporate server room, or the desktops of average Joes.

After 103 years in South Canterbury, Girl Guiding is still going strong. Past Times takes a look at its history in the area.
More than 100 years ago the first girl guides group, then known as Girl Peace Scouts, was formed in Timaru at St Mary's Church. The programme gave girls the chance to enjoy outdoor activities and camping, which remains at the heart of the organisation.
Today, there are 98 girls in the Timaru district involved in the various units, including pippins, from age 5 to 7, brownies, from age 8 to 9, and guides, from age 9 to high school age. Girls can remain in the guides unit until age 14. There is also a ranger unit for girls' in year 9 and over.
The movement is also strong outside Timaru, with guides groups also at Geraldine, Pleasant Point, Temuka and Waimate.
The regional archives, housed in the Women's Wellness Centre building, contain uniforms, programmes, pictures and other items spanning the organisation's history in the area.
President of Girl Guiding New Zealand Sonia Faulkner visited Timaru at the weekend, presenting awards of high achievement to local brownies, guides, rangers and leaders.
Regional co-ordinator Annette Bray said although numbers were not as strong as they used to be they had grown over the past 12 months.
"It comes down to the leaders. We've got some really awesome leaders, meaning awesome programmes."
Activities were held in the weekends, such as orienteering and inline skating. The programme also included rock climbing and swimming.
Girls enjoyed the friendship and leadership opportunities in the organisation, Mrs Bray said.
"It's all about the fun and adventure."

The History of Ice Cream in New Zealand: The history of the ice cream industry in this country is fascinating - the product that we all love, in fact was often handicapped through the years by the perception that it was frivolous and non-essential.
From the restrictive, Victorian Sunday trading laws that persisted into the 1950s, to wartime rationing of sugar and milkfat (being prosecuted for having too much cream in their ice cream!), to PM Robert Muldoon's 1979 20% sales tax on ice cream alone. Disowned by the booming dairy industry, at the mercy of the nationalised Town Milk industry, and yet dependent on both for ingredients, ice cream manufacturers had to forge their own path.
Technology, geography, politics, pricing, and archaic legislation were often against them, and eventually they had to work together to survive. The New Zealand Ice Cream Manufacturers Association was incorporated in 1927, and has represented the industry ever since.
So who would have thought, especially from today's perspective, that ice cream would come to be seen as a genuine health food?
Claimed to be "a nutritious food", with "high food content", "properties that represent the finest, invigorating vitamines for the human system", and "extremely valuable … in some of the most serious forms of illness and in convalescence." In fact, the original company that launched the Tip Top ice cream brand in Wellington in 1935 was called Health Foods Ltd.
At one time, it was proposed that ice cream be distributed free to all New Zealand school children, instead of milk.
And during World War II, it was thought to be so important for morale that mini ice cream factories, ice cream mix, and even ice cream trucks were shipped from New Zealand to our troops fighting in the Middle East and in the Pacific.

WWE will also begin airing new original series on its network such as "Legends House," "Wrestlemania Rewind," and "The Monday Night War: WWE vs. WCW." The company will also air "NXT" matchups featuring superstars-in-training from its Orlando, Fla.-based Performance Center.
Availability of the WWE Network across Apple's range of devices was revealed earlier this month. WWE originally was not planning to allow users to subscribe with their iTunes account, but access has been made available through Apple TV. iOS device users, however, must still subscribe through a browser.

'iPhone SE' rumors spark hopes that Apple will continue to sell iPhone 5s at $350 or lessAnalysts on Wall Street expect the new 4-inch "iPhone SE" may be priced at $450, taking the place of the entry-level iPhone 5s. But if Apple were to keep the iPhone 5s around at a cheaper price, it could allow the company to tap into new markets.
Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray said this week he believes Apple could "experiment with excess stock inventory," pricing the iPhone 5s at between $250 and $350. Such a move could be geared toward gaining share in emerging markets like India, Brazil and Russia.
Analyst Rod Hall of J.P. Morgan weighed in with a similar sentiment, telling investors he hopes Apple will drop the entry-level pricing on its iPhone lineup down to $350 following the debut of the "iPhone SE."
Hopes for even lower pricing on the iPhone to grow market share are not new, particularly on Wall Street. But such a move wouldn't be entirely unprecedented either.
Apple previously took a similar approach with the iPhone 4s, continuing to sell it in some countries after it was discontinued across most of the globe. It has not, however, shown interest in offering an ultra-low-cost iPhone in established markets like the U.S.
In a move perhaps setting the stage for the "iPhone SE," Apple finally discontinued the iPhone 4s, as well as the iPhone 5c, in India last month. Prior to that, the iPhone 4s was priced at just Rs. 12,000, or about $175, helping to make it the most popular device in Apple's local lineup.
The iPhone 5s is currently Apple's cheapest handset in India, with its price cut in half in December to Rs. 24,999, or $372.
Apple is set to hold an event on March 21 where it is expected to unveil a new 4-inch iPhone featuring updated internal components, including support for Apple Pay. This month's event will serve as something of a stopgap leading into September, when Apple is rumored to unveil a full-fledged next-generation "iPhone 7."

Police: Woman posts selfies in stolen dress, arrested
Police arrested 27-year-old Danielle Saxton, of West Frankfort, earlier this month on misdemeanor retail theft charges
Associated Press
WEST FRANKFORT, Ill. — Police investigating the theft of clothing and jewelry from a southern Illinois boutique say they arrested a woman after she posted Facebook photos of herself wearing one of the stolen items.
WSIL-TV reports that police arrested 27-year-old Danielle Saxton, of West Frankfort, earlier this month on misdemeanor retail theft charges. She's free on her own recognizance.
Authorities say a distinctive leopard-print dress was among the items stolen July 11 from Mortie's Boutique in West Frankfort.
The store's co-owner, Kert Williams, says he posted about the stolen items on Facebook and that people who saw Williams' posting and those of Saxton made the connection and helped police.
Online court records don't show whether Saxton has an attorney. She does not have a listed home telephone number.

Uncreative Writing: Managing Language in the Digital Age
Can techniques traditionally thought to be outside the scope of literature, including word processing, databasing, identity ciphering, and intensive programming, inspire the reinvention of writing? The Internet and the digital environment present writers with new challenges and opportunities to reconceive creativity, authorship, and their relationship to language. Confront ...more

I preferred Goldsmith's book to Marcus Boon's In Praise of Copying. I am now eager to read Marge Perloff's Unoriginal Genius: Poetry by Other Means in the New Century. I'm still partial to Hillel Schwartz's overwhelming The Culture of the Copy: Striking Likenesses, Unreasonable Facsimiles, but I appreciated Goldsmith's connecting interesting writing ideas to the visual arts in his book, and enjoyed a number of his case studies. At the end of the day, I think we become ourselves through copying i ...more

But the callow merlin found it very difficult to enlist his liberty in the cause for which he had chosen obscurity. Self-hooded---caged, most of the time, by his own will---through starving for prey and dreaming of empyreal conquest, he brooded over the unending desire that diverted his imagination to visions urged upon it by the foremost pules of his body. Or else he lay pinioned by the demon of sloth who slipped in through the open door when he was all prepared for an annunciation muse to rewa ...more

After Barthes killed the (already long-dead) author, after Borges swarmed aspiring academics and writers in an labyrinthine sea of infinite information, after Duchamp turned art into readymades and then Levine appropriated those readymades, blah, blah, blah...this book seems to rub in my face what I already know.

I expected to brush up against some ideas here, as Goldsmith is sort of advocating conceptual writing as the next necessary frontier of literature (luckily not at the exclusion of extant forms). With this kind of "uncreative writing" he says "We move from assuming a readership to embracing a thinkership." The work mentioned as examples are very much thinkpieces, as opposed to what a large part of the "canon" can be considered as thinkandfeelpieces. Part of my hesitance to accept uncreative writi ...more

I despise textbooks. For me, they capture the anti-intellectual 'dumbed down' imperative of higher education. Generic, standardized, low-level 'knowledge' masquerading as scholarship. But Kenneth Goldsmith's _Uncreative Writing_ is the only book I would use to 'teach' writing. Indeed, if I was teaching writing, I would demand that students read this book _before_ entering the course.

I've been teaching an article that served as a precursor to this monograph for years and am impressed with the overall impetus behind both. Specifically, Goldsmith argues that literary arts might benefit from copying and manipulating prose in the same way that visual and music artists have for quite some time. Goldsmith is driven to make this argument by something slightly different than what makes others advocates for such appropriation. That is, he doesn't fall into the Jonathan Lethem school ...more

Check out Conrad Aiken's "Inscriptions in Sundry Places," just as a jumping off point, to begin to get an idea of how not-revolutionary the basic ideas in this text are in literary terms. The revolutionary aspect is, of course, that now, with our modern information glut, anyone can sit at home & produce massive texts of such banality that they cannot be read! Machines are writing for other machines! (so what?)

Goldsmith me genera una contradicción lectora muy particular: no sé si es un genio profético o es un ladri snob. Algunas de sus ideas retoman postulados ya vistos, ya leídos de Duchamp, Warhol o el concretismo; sin embargo, Goldsmith tiene la astucia de traspolar esos planteos a la escritura y a la literatura. Cuando apunta que la incidencia de Internet sobre la escritura es solo comparable con la de la fotografía en la pintura, estoy casi totalmente de acuerdo. Y esa incidencia y sus consecuenc ...more

Mostly, a finely selected collection and brief critiques of new writing techniques. The thoughts and ideas that try to stitch all together are old and many times repeated, and come mostly from the visual arts. In that sense the book feels uncomplete, failing to provide a maniphest for the new kind of writing being born in the data age; the last chapter is definitely not enough. It is anyway entertaining, interesting, and even sometimes provides hints to deeper ideas that writing so desperately n ...more

I think I liked this one more than David Shield's _Reality Hunger_, which has a kind of similar focus-- or at least Shield's book embodies some of Goldsmith's ideas here. But I'm not especially convinced by either writer-thinker.
In essence, Goldsmith wants to reconfigure the way we think about writing, to make "literature" mimic what he takes to be the way language is used in a digital space. This is and isn't interesting, I think.

Goldsmith is brisk, entertaining, and almost completely unconvincing. He never tackles a thorny issue when he can give it a glancing blow. The book feels speed-written (assuming here an authorial analogue to Evelyn Wood). Behind all his insistent rhetoric, Goldsmith seems to understand that what he most desires--a remaking of literature as sweeping as the redefinition of visual art in the 1960s--is beyond his grasp. And even digitized cutting and pasting can't give it to him. (That we still call ...more

To encourage a writer to cease to be creative.
To remove the soul from writing and call it modern. To penalize thought and reward a lack of it. To add the "but you're always creative!" As some sort of epiphany at the end.

It was all right, with some decent commentary on certain conceptual and contemporary art theory, as well as including some interesting comparisons between the art and literary world.

I like this book only because it gives a very quotable voice to postmodern ideas I love to argue against, replete with blatant logical contradictions. It does have a really good amount of examples of modern/postmodern "uncreative" art, so it is a useful jumping-off point to further research of these artists and art forms. However, I have to agree with many of the other reviewers: the typos are very noticeable. Would Goldsmith care? Probably not.

Context versus content, Goldsmith is arguing strongly in favor of context. Writers don't need to be original, writing can be art when it is framed the right way (pun intended).
I like reading about literary movements, so I enjoyed this. Maybe not a lot here for someone who is already familiar with ideas like flarf, but having it in one place and getting to spend some time with these ideas was worth it for me.

You're kidding Goldsmith!
Seriously, I do not believe that these are his real opinions. He's just trying to be provocative to make a name for himself. And on top of all that the book breaks all his own rules, far too original and cogently argued to be considered uncreative by his own standards.
And what's with all the typos? I've seen less typos in self-published stuff!

Avere takes on the challenge to wave the flag for NAS optimization benefits across the pond at SNW Europe next week
SNW Europe, Frankfurt, Germany - 30th October 2012 - Avere Systems has discovered that the US may appear to be the biggest data hoarders and Europeans have more catching up to do when it comes to considering solutions for NAS optimization.
The NAS optimization company has been comparing storage attitudes on both sides of the Atlantic through the results of two independently-sourced surveys: the US-based Pulse Report and the European NAS Audit.
One of the biggest differences discovered was in the amount of data managed. In the United States over 41% of the respondents managed over 500TB of storage whereas the Europeans appear to be lagging behind with only 20% managing large capacity arrays. This is reflected in the number of NAS-only systems. The American sample only had 9% using nothing but NAS while the figure was a more substantial 27% in Europe though there was a further 23% using mixed NAS and SAN environments.
With its NAS Optimization product in mind, Avere was more interested in digging down into the needs of the user community. The majority of companies in each sample were running applications that required high performance or suffered from unpredictable file access. Although there was agreement that NAS controller upgrades were a possible way to meet these challenges, the US were equally impressed with NAS optimization while in Europe it was the fifth choice behind adding more disks, implementing solid-state drive arrays (SSDs) and switching to SAN.
"The US has a better understanding of the value that NAS optimization can offer to overcome performance issues. It is Avere's mission to take the lessons learned in the US and share those with the European storage professionals," commented Rebecca Thompson, VP of Marketing at Avere Systems. She continued: "SNW Europe is an ideal forum for this and my presentation on "When IT worlds collide: SSD, Virtualization and Cloud" will cover much of the best practice and real world experience Avere has seen in these areas."
Avere Systems at Powering the Cloud Europe -
Avere Systems is exhibiting at Powering the Cloud Europe in Frankfurt on 30th and 31st October.
Thompson's presentation "When IT Worlds Collide: SSD, Virtualization and the Cloud" will take place at 10:30-10:50am on Wednesday 31st October in Room Harmonie A.
About the Avere Systems NAS Audit
The Avere Systems NAS Audit was conducted online during August and early September 2012. 114 storage professionals from across EMEA completed the survey. These storage professionals worked across a variety of sectors including: finance, telecom, aerospace, legal, retail, engineering, technology, publishing, and education.
The Pulse report was conducted by Gatepoint Research among 1,000 executives in the US in 2012.
To receive a copy of the full results when they are published in November, please email [email protected]
About Avere Systems
Avere Systems brings to the market NAS Optimization solutions designed specifically to scale performance and capacity separately and take advantage of new storage media using real-time tiering. Avere's FXT Series Edge filers allow organizations to achieve unlimited application performance scaling, free applications from the confines of the data center by eliminating latency and cut storage costs by more than half.

Beautiful picture, Rich, but - how sad! Back in those days, people often died very young, even children. Only the strongest and healthiest were able to survive. The headstones are very beautiful - must have been wealthy people who could afford it. Greetings, Anne
Greetings Anne, It is sad that all three children passed between the ages of 2 and 3. In some sections of the cemetery you find short periods of time where many people died indicating some event that took their lives all at once. Some markers in the cemetery were made of Iron in the shape of a cross with the information stamped in by hand. Sadly, those could not be read.
It's very sad if to imagine all dramatic of this picture. Nevertheless photo is very fine and beautiful. The sheeps are on the top of gravestones seems are subject of Bible.
Greetings SetyLeon, Thank you for visiting and your kind comments. The cemetery is very interesting to visit. Many graves are so sad because the children died so young. It was a hard life in the silver camps in the mountains.
very touching. I was in silverplume too but somehow I missed this cemetary.....
