I am sure a lot of you remember the great "GIF fiasco": more than a decade ago, Unisys decided to make money out of the most used image file format on the Internet: the GIF format. To be more precise, Unisys announced that they would go after developers of programs able to load and save GIF files (never mind the fact that even back then there was plenty of free software which wouldn't have been able to pay).
To make the short story shorter, the PNG file was invented as a reaction to Unisys' move; although it was never wildly successful, PNG did manage to make Unisys's threat very much irrelevant. Unisys took their time, but eventually realised that if they had seriously sued people over the GIF patent, the days of the GIF format would be over.
In the pre-SCO era, people were outraged and wondered if Unisys's CEO had gone insane (to me, he just looked like he had a very, very low IQ and a very big problem managing his company's finance and marketing). In our post-SCO era, we are just glad it didn't sue IBM in the hope that the Goliath company would get annoyed enough to buy out the moody David.
Anyway, things went well: PNG was created, Unisys' share price today looks pitiful (karma, anybody?), and people still happily use GIF files everywhere.
Dr. Jekyll
Not many people noticed that in just a few days the GIF format will definitely be free - forever. The GNU web site has a page on the GIF format. At the bottom of the page, you can see:
- We were able to search the patent databases of the USA, Canada, Japan, and the European Union. The Unisys patent expired on 20 June 2003 in the USA, in Europe it expired on 18 June 2004, in Japan the patent expired on 20 June 2004 and in Canada it expired on 7 July 2004. The U.S. IBM patent expired 11 August 2006, The Software Freedom Law Center says that after 1 October 2006, there will be no significant patent claims interfering with employment of the GIF format..
The first of October 2006 is just about around the corner. So... well, it looks like the nightmare is definitely, without any doubt, over. I personally don't think that IBM (the holder of the last GIF patent) would ever sue anybody for using GIF, especially after investing several billion dollars on GNU/Linux and showing their declared friendliness towards free software (which would be directly affected by a law suit). But you never know with patents.
Mr. Hyde
However, if you really think it's over, and that you will never ever have to worry about GIF ever again... well, let me tell you, you are wrong. The nightmare is far from over. The nightmare is just about to start. I shivered when I saw this page. To me, it was absolutely devastating!
It says:
Unisys Corporation holds and has patents pending on a number of improvements on the inventions claimed in the above-expired patents. Information on these improvement patents and terms under which they may be licensed can be obtained by contacting the following: [...].
Oh my... Unisys has been improving the GIF format, without telling anybody what the improvements are! I honestly don't think the world can survive without those improvements. I am pretty sure Cheryl Tartler, the person dealing with sending out those improvements is swamped with requests and cannot send them out fast enough! In fact, I am pretty confident that's all she does all day long: sending Unisys's improvements to people once they've signed an NDA and paid their licensing fees. I am pretty sure this will help be an immense help to the downward trend of Unisys' shares. Millions, billions will come!
Err... OK, just in case somebody at Unisys is listening: "Hello! I am only joking!". It may look obvious, but you never know...
Finally, after the first of October, the GIF format will be completely free and nobody will ever be able to say otherwise - not even the most obstinate free software advocate. This will hopefully stop people complaining about us using GIF images here at Free Software Magazine for our banner ads...
And yes, this is a hint!
Irrelevant indeed..
as IE7, as the last problematic browser, finally supports png's with alpha making gifs finaly irrelevant anyhow. Why bother with 256 colors and binary transparancy..
Anyhow, I'm sure that the lack of decent png in IE together with inertia are the reasons that gif is still around. More than this whole gif patent mess..
"PNG not wildly successful"
I guess that depends on your definition of "wildly".
PNG is the default and only seriously reliable format used by the Python Imaging Library (i.e. it's basically the "native" format). Inkscape only exports bitmaps as PNG. And so on. And of course, PNG is the *only* widely used format that can represent true-color images without artifacts and data loss (the big problems with JPEG). PNG is my personal favorite for storing bitmaps, and has very good support and fidelity between many different programs (there are a few problems—but I have more trouble with GIFs and JPEGs, due to fundamental limitations of those formats).
On the internet, popularity has been less evident, but only because of the extreme conservativism that the existence of older web browsers introduces. Internet Explorer and Mozilla both had significant PNG display bugs until quite recent versions. However, the old versions are dying out, and most of the web-viewing public now views PNGs without even thinking (or probably knowing) about it.
GIFs remain popular for animation. The MNG standard (the animated version of PNG) never saw much support, and animated GIFs are still the easiest and most portable form of animation on the web (despite the recent surge in Flash popularity).
The limitation of GIFs to 8-bit palette graphics, though, is a pretty serious limitation for any serious artwork, and it makes GIFs awkward to use. I get a lot of mileage from JPEGs, especially by exploiting the characteristics of their lossy compression algorithm (e.g. you can get some cool fringe effects simply by overcompressing the JPEG, and get a smaller file to boot), but JPEG is not a good general purpose format.
PNG was needed for purely technical reasons. Not to defend Unisys, but I'm actually kind of glad that we had obstacles that pushed us to use a newer and better format ("it's an ill wind...").
I would call PNG a very successful format!
Still not convinced...
Hola Terry,
I see what you are saying. I guess I should have specidfied "On the internet, PNG not wildly successful". When it came out, I would have assumed it'd become "the" file format for the Internet.
It didn't happen; I was very disappointed.
Why was PNG support buggy? Because not enough people cared. Why didn't people care? Because the support was buggy, and nobody really used it anyway.
Not enough?
How about not the right people. The key reason PNG didn't take off is because MS did not properly implement them into IE, the number one browser for quite a while. Cause of this major flaw, nobody wanted to use PNG cause "most" of their users wouldn't be able to properly view them.
Now why didn't MS fix IE? Cause they were trying to push across their own proprietary CSS calls. PNGs work in IE, but you have to use convoluted CSS call to fix them. In the end, it was just a pita that web developers didn't want to deal with, on top of the already pita problems with IE's poor CSS support.
Python considered dangerous
if you write a medium to large application in python, and accidently embed a space alongside a tab character in your source code, you can have logic errors but NEVER BE ABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE because the space character is hidden in all text editors.
Use perl instead.
This is like the dumbest python troll ever
You can find the problem in vi: /<tab><space>RET (alternatively, <space><tab>). Similarly with Emacs, or Eclipse. And if you can find it, you can replace it.
Perl considered dangerous
If you write a medium to large application in perl the excessive symbol requirements (${}%@ etc) will cause your code to be completely unreadable and if you have a logic error you'll never be able to find it. Also, prolonged attempts to read such garbage characters can lead to epileptic fits. </rant>
The parent thread is complete FUD. Firstly mixing of tabs and spaces is easy to remedy in every decent text editor I can think of. Simply have it convert tabs to spaces on load and save. Secondly the python interpreter will throw a syntax error and will tell you what line you're indention is incorrect at. Thirdly many text editors DO have a show tabs/whitespace option so you can in fact see them, even if the first and second points where not true.
Having used C, C++, Java, and Perl for years.. I've recently switched nearly all of my development to python. It's a great language. Perl is not.
Converting tabs to spaces?!? What about every other user's right to see the representation of a tab how they would like to? Not to mention the wasted bytes ...
This is your brain. This is your brain on Perl.
Enough said.
Use a DECENT text editor
:set sts=4 sw=4 ts=8 et
Problem fixed.
If you put a space before a tab, it makes no difference. If you put a space after a tab, and it's a valid indent, you can see the extra space. If you put a space after a tab, and it's an invalid indent, you get an error on the line in question.
In short, you're talking complete nonsense.
Not using the right tool considered dangerous
If you write a medium to large application in Python without properly configuring you text editor to only use spaces, you are just looking for trouble.
your vi skill is poor
:set list
So this has happened to you, has it?
"if you write a medium to large application in python, and accidently embed a space alongside a tab character in your source code, you can have logic errors but NEVER BE ABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE because the space character is hidden in all text editors."
You've never actually tried to write a program in Python, have you?
Your comment is, of course, factually untrue. There is no way it could ever happen unless you actually had tabs set to 0 spaces in your editor (any tab spacing of 1 or more, and a space would remain less than or equal to one tab, thus ensuring that it cannot interfere with the display of the indentation).
You can have problems with mixed spaces and tabs, but it's much more difficult (and rare) to have happen. Furthermore, it is fairly trivial to fix this kind of error, and in Vim and Emacs at least, it is possible to prevent it almost entirely by having the editor always substitute spaces for tabs. Both editors also have means of highlighting tab characters to make it more obvious when they've been used in an existing source file.
The advantage to Python's "significant whitespace", of course, is that the interpreter reads the same cues the programmer does when determining logical groupings. This has tremendous ability to catch errors resulting from omitted brackets ({})—an extremely common error in languages like C and Perl which use them for grouping.
Naturally, of course, programmers with any skill learn to use style conventions to keep their brackets in line, and so the problem is not fatal to C or Perl. But this is equally true of the comparatively rarer problems with significant whitespace handling in Python.
Don't get me wrong. Python has its warts. But the use of "significant whitespace" to handle program grouping is definitely not one of them. If were ever to design a programming language, I would definitely use Python's significant whitespace rules.
It's also somewhat off the topic of PNG adoption. I'm sure that Perl and C also have excellent PNG support. It's just that, being a Python programmer myself (I used to program in C, too, but there was no PNG standard way back then!), I like to make sure I speak from a position of experience.
DON"T USE PERL. ITS LIKE PROGRAMING YOUR PERSONALITY IN. AND OTHER PEOPLE WILL ONLY UNDERSTAND YOUR CODE IF THEY KNOW YOU! hahahahA
If you start the python
If you start the python interpreter with the -t option it will warn you if you mix tabs and spaces.
A couple of qualifications
> PNG is the *only* widely used format that can represent true-color images
> without artifacts and data loss
Perhaps it is the only widely-used raster image format with significant compression built in that can represent true-color images without artifacts and data loss. Perhaps. (A lot of consumer-grade hardware, such as scanners, use TIFF to a greater or lesser extent. A lot of people still have BMP images kicking around because they used to be the only format well supported by certain very-widely-used software. EPS is less obvious, but besides its niche uses (e.g., in prepub) it's also popularly used for consumer clip art e.g. in MS Word, and in a lot of those commercial clip art packages you can buy. WMF and PCX are also arguable.)
However, PNG use has grown significantly in the last couple of years and is certainly a major image format, probably the third or fourth most widely used at this point. (JPEG/JFIF is obviously the _most_ widely used at this point; GIF is _probably_ second.)
Yes, but...
TIFF is not a very solid standard, simply because it's too large and complex (some would call it 'a whole set of standards marching under one banner' rather than a single standard). This has hurt its adoption. Outside of the printing industry few people use it.
BMP of course, has no compression, the whole point being to load quickly and easily (although this decision was made at a time when CPUs were slower). There are applications for that, but the files are needlessly bulky, so BMPs aren't all that popular.
EPS and WMF are both vector graphic formats, like SVG (which is meant to eventually supplant them both as a standard). Hard to say if it actually will. I suspect WMF will die, but EPS has a strong following.
PCX is extremely niche. It's the native compressed bitmap (and I think palette-based even) format used by a particualar proprietary paint program.
And of course, the real killer is that almost no one's browser will render TIFF, BMP, EPS, or WMF (I think there are plugins to do it on some browsers).
That said, of course, there are actually dozens and dozens of bitmap and vector graphics formats. I generally use ImageMagick to make conversions when needed, and yes, I do find the need to use different ones from time to time.
But I stand by my assessment. If you want a good, general-purpose, application neutral format to store images in that won't lose data, stick with PNG.
not quite true...
TIFF is not a very solid standard, ...
That's a pretty bold statement especially when every digital camera and scanner manufacturer uses it. TIFF is used as a container in lots of cases and most of the existing RAW digital camera formats are really TIFF files. True, it is complicated but it was not designed to be just a single image holding file format, it does much more than that (layers, tags, multiple resolution images, different encoding scehemes etc) which makes it very popular with the imaging industry. In fact I don't know of any other open format that I would rather use to transport high quality image between various handling programs (like gimp, dcraw or others). Of course it is cumbersome to use just in browsers because of its diversity but then again, the imaging software industry is not just limited to web browsers, is it.
And of course, the real killer is that almost no one's browser will render TIFF, BMP, EPS, or WMF (I think there are plugins to do it on some browsers).
You probably need to update your sources of information. Last time I checked, BMP is supported by every *major* browser and IE which still leads despite being rubbish will display WMFs. And that's without any plugins.
PNG is a very successful format
PNG is a superior format to GIF, and is nigh-universally supported. In many applications, in fact, it is the default format. Competent web developers and savvy graphic artists stopped using GIFs *years* ago. This article may as well be called "buggy whips NOW finally come in taupe" -- in the 21st century, GIF is completely irrelevant.
Fully agree with this, I
Fully agree with this, I like PNG format and think it will be very successful format. PNGs are designed to be a more efficient, flexible, and patent-free replacement for GIFs. As I know, images saved as PNGs are typically 10% to 30% smaller than GIFs, although in rare cases they can be larger.
The W3C published its first PNG recommendation in October 1996. The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) began work on its own ratification of the format two years later.
Should the W3C and ISO both ratify the current drafts of the second edition, it will become available free of charge from the W3C under an exceptional agreement hammered out between the two standards groups. ISO normally charges for access to its publications.
At ISO, the PNG format last month reached its "60.00 status," the penultimate stage in the ISO process. At ISO the document is titled "ISO/IEC 15948."

"PNG not wildly successful" ???
Mr. Hancock, I totally agree - PNG is the de-facto standard nowadays, so i seriously do not see how it has not been "wildly successfull".
"PNG not wildly successful"
Both programmers from Elbonia use PNGs too.
What about LZW Compression
This is an excellent summary of the state of the affairs regarding GIF file format. There is however an additional problem that may have been overlooked.
I can't claim to be 100% sure, but there was an additional problem about Lempel-Ziv (I don't know what W stands for) compression that was used in GIF file format that made the GIF formats all the more desirable as format of choice to many a designer and software developer, especially on the web. Unisys is a patent holder on that one too, AFAIK.
Can you or one of the readers comment on the state of LZW patent too ? Does expiry of this patent cover expiration of LZW patent ?
LZW *is* what was patented
Compuserve released source code to "their" GIF format in the '80s. But the comment in the code mentioned that the compression might be protected by a patent. And it was. Unisys owned a patent on the LZW (Lemple-Ziv Welch) compression that Compuserve used (and licensed) for their format.
The patent that expires next week covers LZW compression, not GIFs.
Correct ..
Thus the term "GIF89a"
Want to take a guess as to where the "89" comes from? :)
I am the png queen
It is the only file format i use anymore. I really like this post. It educated a number of friends of mine in the graphic community.. also, it won an argument for me... thx
...pay attention.
Check out the infamous gamma bad implementation... :|
PNG's not dead
"It didn't happen; I was very disappointed."
The correct wording is it "hasn't happened". PNG usage increases every day. If IE7 will support it, then you can obviously appreciate the fact that PNG is far from dead on the web.
Also, if you do some reading, you'll see that PNG is a superior format to GIF and JPEG. Of course, we're talking about image formats developed a decade ago, so it's hardly a fair fight :)
Be prepared to see a continued rise in the use of PNG. I recently switched all my images to PNG's for all my web based projects. Of course, my target markets are very "techie" and 98% of them are equipped with the latest browsers (IE7 and Firefox 188.8.131.52). I'm hoping to convince the other 2% to start upgrading.
Free "forever"?
Doesn't the fact that two patents were issued which cover the same algorithm (LZW) show us that another patent could be issued to cover LZW sometime in the future? Apparently the USPTO isn't against issuing multiple patents that cover the same idea.
After all, if the patent system worked the way it was touted to work (no more than one patent granted per idea), the latter of the two patents (IBM and Unisys') would not have been granted until it was rewritten to not cover the LZW algorithm which had already been patented.
Finally, PNG's ongoing technical superiority should be good reason to switch to PNGs and motivate people to use a browser which will display them properly. If you're of the inclination to bow to MSIE's weaknesses I know from experience that with a little effort, one can even get Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 to show them correctly. I point you to the "IE7" LGPL-covered set of scripts at http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/ which provide an easy means to make MSIE do a number of things it ought to do but doesn't.
Given these reservations I don't share your optimism that GIF will forever be free nor would I recommend its use today.

Correction to the postscript.
Apparently something was lost in the postscript part of my post. This site inserts a <br /> after the link, hence the link to Dean Edwards' "IE7" software.
Technical superiority motivations?
Technical superiority motivations? That may be fine for readers of FSM and other technical web sites, but what about the rest of the world?
I wouldn't look at it as having an inclination to bow to IE7's weaknesses so much as a desire to cater to your audience. Most people on the web are using whatever flavor of IE came with their Windows computer, and to dismiss them for doing this and not make the effort to give them a decent viewing experience is extremely arrogant. I'm not saying that you specifically are doing this, but your tone suggests it. I think it's also an unrealistic suggestion that people might try some add-on to change the way their IE works. It is an very small segment that is going to want to do this, and again it doesn't address the circumstances of most Internet users.
I'm not thrilled about how IE handles PNGs and CSS but I'm not going to let its users suffer more than necessary to make a point about which format is the best.
I think you might be confused about that "IE7" script GP linked
"I think it's also an unrealistic suggestion that people might try some add-on to change the way their IE works. It is an very small segment that is going to want to do this, and again it doesn't address the circumstances of most Internet users."
I could be wrong, but I don't think the script "IE7" (what a hellishly bad name, considering Microsoft is developing a product called IE7, which is the 'real' IE7, but moving on. . .) requires the users to seperately go download and install it like a FireFox plugin does. I think *you* as a web developer, include it in your pages (so it is downloaded as part of the page), and it makes your page work correctly in IE 5 and 6. So, this is something that would benefit users without them having to do *anything*, and benefits web developers by making it easy (if it works as it claims) to use standard HTML+CSS and have the script take care of making it work correctly in IE5/6. (And the additional overhead for developers can be made quite trivial - I know that, usually, when I'm developing a site, I have a couple standard include files, and one specifically for my head section that includes things like site-wide stylesheet file tags, and the like - just edit such a global 'include' file to also include a tag, and you should be set.
Seems like a fairly elegant solution, if it actually works. (I've not tested IE7, yet, and don't endorse it, but I'm certainly interested in playing with it to see if it's as good as it claims).
I see now -- my bad. You're right, if it does the job as advertised with nothing needed on the client side, then it would be a nice thing. (Not that I think it's great for people to be so passive in their computing experience, but it's just The Way It Is. :-)
Previour art
If you manage (and it's probably easy) to file and obtain a patent for something that was already existing and known, the patent can be invalidated in court with a claim of prior art.
It's a pint in the ass, though :-(
one would think that having
one would think that having an expired patent that covered the same invention would make invalidation slightly less of a pain in the ass.
We can argue the fine points
We can argue the fine points of formats, standards and the like ad infinitum, but none of that amounts to useful activity. All the speculative arguing over Unisys and this patent business is just ridiculous. Unisys has let more employee invented technology go without patent than you might believe, (such as the magnetic stripe cards), so suing an individual over use of GIF format images is a non starter. This is meant to discourage corporations from activity on a global scale, not Joe Programmer.
A sidenote about PNG. Gamma BUG.
Some time ago I tried to develop an entire site using PNG instead of GIF, just because I didn't need any alpha channel and so I could use it safely on IE.
I was wrong. Plain wrong.
I was wrong because even if without alpha IE handled the PNG well, another problem appeared: different browser adjusts the PNG GAMMA LEVEL IN DIFFERENT WAYS!
So, I ended up with a website colored in different ways... that should be ok, in some ways, but it got worse: a PNG green and an HTML green on some browser doesn't match, since the PNG has a gamma applied, while the HTML (CSS, whatever) doesn't.
I dropped PNG at all for the web.
PNG doesn't have to store gamma
If you don't like the gamma setting in your PNG files, just turn it off. It's not required. When you save, just turn off "Save gamma".
A sidenote about PNG. Gamma BUG.
I would argue the gamma problem isn't a bug with the PNG format at all; it's a feature implementation problem on the part of the image reader (and maybe in a lot less cases, the source app).
You said it yourself best:
...without alpha IE handled the PNG well, another problem appeared: different browser adjusts the PNG GAMMA LEVEL IN DIFFERENT WAYS!
That doesn't sound like a format problem to me. That sounds like poor format feature implementation or outright an lack of format support on the part of considerably popular browsers. Cause for concern and frustration? Certainly. Fault of the format? Hardly.
Maybe if a line was drawn in the sand by someone of import on how the gamma subject should be approached would help immensely. Until that day, developers are left to their own devices and the patchwork graphics will continue for some. I'm sorry you've abandoned the format. Maybe it will win you back some day after everyone decides to play nice together and implement a standard practice. Full support for the format - all channels, gamma and bitdepths - by popular web browsers will help too ;)
Long live PNG I say. It was all uncompressed TIFF for lossless imagery until I met ye.
In this case, 'no gamma' is what was wanted
"Maybe if a line was drawn in the sand by someone of import on how the gamma subject should be approached would help immensely."
If he's trying to match HTML colors to the PNG, then he wants no gamma correction at all. For that application, it's more important that the colors match each other than that they match an external color standard.
This is trivial to do (Well, it's trivial in GIMP anyway), so it's easy to avoid the problem. But you do have to know your tools and materials if you want to get the results exactly the way you want.
gamma redux
This gamma problem in PNG is reasonably well known. I wish I could say I'm surprised it has not yet been addressed.
There is basically no good image format for web development.
JPEG is lossy. GIF has too few colors. PNG has the gamma problem.
I prefer PNG unless I must create elements which match CSS colors. Then I use GIF, but that constrains the kind of image I can have because of the color problem.
And of course I lust for proper alpha. You have no idea how important alpha is until you design with it for a while and then must forego it.
I have a feeling this problem would go away if Microsoft cared. But then of course their format would probably have DRM or similar dain bramage.
Restrictive Patents = Death of Format
Let that be a lesson to any company.
From Beta to GIF.
If you lock people out, they will simply go around you.
What about TIFF?
Does this mean that TIFF with LZW is now free too?
As free as LZW is for the moment.
Yes, until the next patent which covers LZW comes along like the second one of the IBM or Unisys patents did. After all, it's the LZW algorithm we're really talking about, not so much the GIF image file format (which uses LZW). By the same logic, compress(1)--an old Unix file compressor, some Postscript implementations, and other file compressors should now be free to employ LZW.
Just use PNG's key-color
Just use PNG's key-color transparency instead of the alpha channel, which works fine in all IE browsers.
Making a tempest in a teapot - PNGs, GIFs, TIFFs, LMNOPs...
"Most people on the web are using whatever flavor of IE came with their Windows computer, and to dismiss them for doing this and not make the effort to give them a decent viewing experience is extremely arrogant." I have to agree with you Mr. Carpenter.
Having been around since ARPANET, if the user community had not been "catered to" by all of the user friendliness efforts software developers and vendors, and if the professional IT community had insisted on users becoming technically savvy to the point of adhering to the most minscule details of standards in order to get anything out of the net, there simply would not be an internet because most of the folks out there would not care for us forcing them to conform to the world of our whiz-bang technocratic idioms and anagrams. Simply put, no users = no net.
We can argue the fine points of formats, standards and the like ad infinitum, but none of that amounts to useful activity.

Err... don't mistake Unisys for CompuServe...
Unisys never invented the GIF format nor does it have any copyright or whatever on it.
The GIF format was invented by CompuServe (see http://www.w3.org/Graphics/GIF/spec-gif89a.txt).
However, what Unisys DID invented (or so they claim) is the LZW encoding scheme, which is used by GIF (and a lot of other programs) has its compression system. So, even if they make improvements to LZW, it doesn't affect GIF much...
Dealing with gamma correction and PNG, you can either choose to disable it, or use palette + transparency (instead of alpha). The latter means you will see whatever color is "under" the picture, thus giving the impression that both your website & the picture are made of the same background color.
Last but not least, GIF isn't really limited to 256 colors per file, it's limited to 256 colors per frame!
Which means that you can get true-colors pictures by:
- using any number of frames, each containing its own local palette (limited to 256 entries),
- setting delay between frames to a very small amount
- setting the frame disposal method to 1 ("Do not dispose. The graphic is to be left in place")
See online demonstration: http://phil.ipal.org/tc.html
"And of course, the real killer is that almost no one's browser will render TIFF, BMP, EPS, or WMF (I think there are plugins to do it on some browsers)."
Licensing GIF
This Unisys absurd attempt to license a GIF format is a news to me and it really made me laugh. If my memory serves me, Fraunhofer Institute tried similar thing with mp3 and all they accomplished was to provoke users and EPO rejected Frainhofer claims. There's always a way to go around. As to a PNG format I'm just acquainting with it but it seems to me that it doesn't have the right approach to a user and many weren't conversant to it's benefits.

Patent use
1. Unisys did in fact hold the patent on LZW compression methods.
2. I promised myself a long time ago that I would not trash people who trash Unisys' efforts to recoup losses to patent violations, but it seems this group needs an especially big "STFU"!
3. The sheer amount of software and proprietary product that Unisys has allowed the public to recieve for free is staggering.
4. Do your research on Unix....you'll find that it was mostly developed on unisys time and budget.
Get a life. Start paying for things.
Thanks."hasn't happened".
Thanks."hasn't happened". PNG usage increases every day. If IE7 will support it, then you can obviously appreciate the fact that PNG is far from dead on the web.

Be prepared to see a continued rise in the use of PNG

Ash/Activated Charcoal
Ash, sometimes called Activated Charcoal, is a food grade charcoal used on some soft cheeses to neutralise the surface of the cheese, creating a friendly environment for the growth of Penicillium Candidum. Ash is always mixed with salt before applying to the cheese. Your cheese will usually develop a blue-grey, mottled rind with a nutty texture and a strong creamy flavour. Directions. Mix some ash with salt for applying. In a few days the black rind will become grey as the white mold grows through. After 8-10 days the entire rind should be white. If the mold growth is blue instead of white your cheese is too acidic; grey and hairy, the cheese is not acidic enough retaining too much moisture. Store Ash in a cool, dry place. Keeps indefinitely.

State flags to be lowered in honor of Murrow
Published: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 3:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 3:36 p.m.
Gov. Pat McCrory ordered all state flags be lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Friday in honor of N.C. Sen. Calvin Coolidge Murrow.
Murrow died April 30 and a memorial service will be held in his honor Saturday in Southport.
Murrow represented Guilford County in the state Senate from 1969–1977 and was a member and chairman of the North Carolina State Ports Authority from 1973–1976. Murrow served in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II, where he participated in the liberation of Guam in 1944.

I absolutely feel so inspired when I see projects likes this 'Handmade Type' project on Behance. Using something that we take for granted everyday, such as our 'hands' and 'arms' (those funny things we use to do just about everything) and by painting letterforms on to them it creates a fresh, new outcome that is let's face it, clever!
This was a self initiated typographic experiment – if I were in design college right now this is the sort of thing I would love to be doing :-)
Check out the process shots and the video when you get a chance!

Saints 10, BEA 7
Saints head softball coach in his words said the Saints did 'fun stuff!!!' against the BEA Bucs on Tuesday night when they traveled to Blue Earth.
It worked as the Saints beat the Bucs 10-7. What made it even more fun was when the Saints scored six runs in their last at bat to secure the win. That's the second time that's happened this year.
About the BEA game Coach Chapin said, "We tried something a little different tonight. We pitched Emily Bottem through the order once, and then switched to Julia Beckius.
"We just went back and forth with every 9 batters. I think it helped keep BEA off balance a little bit.
"We did a Suicide squeeze in 5th. We stole 3rd two times which led to two runs.
"We also had some great clutch hitting with two outs from Shania Hansen in 4th and 7th inning.
"Lindzey Hanson had a great night at the plate as well as throwing one runner out stealing." Hanson got three hits, scored twice and knocked in two RBIs.
Julia Beckius got 3 RBIs and was the winning pitcher. Bottem ot two hits and stole two bases. Shania Hansen got two hits and two RBIs.
New Ulm 14, SJA 1
Heck of a way to come back after a three week 'snow delay' - have to play the defending state champs New Ulm Eagles.
The Eagles looked like the state champs as they beat the Saints 14-1 in a game shortened to five innings by the 10 run rule.
The Saints had three hits. Anna Haler had a hit and the team's only RBI.
Julia Beckius and Lindzey Hanson got the other hits. Emily Bottem was the losing pitcher.

The people who live here love the outdoors. They like it so much they're willing to risk cold temps in the name of bluegrass, brews and barbecue. It's these three B's that will hopefully bring the crowds to the first-ever WinterWonderGrass Festival, which takes place in Edwards this weekend. Some might be apprehensive about attending an outdoor music festival in the middle of February, but organizer Scotty Stoughton isn't too worried about the weather. After being involved with planning SnowBall, which was held last winter in Avon, Stoughton felt confident that a different type of outdoor festival could be successful here.
"I've been hearing from the community that they wanted a little bit more live events for the winter," Stoughton said. "(SnowBall) showed me that there are definitely people who like to come out and brave the elements."
'They can really shred on acoustic guitar'
WinterWonderGrass will combine a music, food and drink festival into one. Bluegrass tunes will be blasting, or "picking" to be more precise, continuously throughout the two-day event, with Head for the Hills and Greensky Bluegrass headlining Saturday night and Infamous Stringdusters headlining Sunday night. Although every band performing fits into the "bluegrass" category in some way, each one has a different take on the genre. Take Head for the Hills for instance, which has a classic acoustic bluegrass sound with the exception of one thing: no banjo.
"In a traditional bluegrass band, the banjo plays through everything," said guitarist Adam Kinghorn. "In our style we have a lot more space there (in the song) and we have different roles to fill that (space)."
Formed in Fort Collins in 2004 when they were in college, most of the members of Head for the Hills didn't grow up listening to bluegrass, but are now trying to spread bluegrass' popularity and introduce the genre to a younger crowd.
"(When I was younger) I was really into playing fast music, like punk rock and metal," Kinghorn said. "When you start listening to some of the acoustic bluegrass (players), you realize that they can really shred on acoustic guitar... There seems to be a correlation with bluegrass and being outside and I think people in Colorado really get that. The little bit of popularity that (bluegrass) is gaining has to do with that Colorado lifestyle."
The Colorado bluegrass connection
Other bands playing at the festival also see a link between Colorado and bluegrass. The Infamous Stringdusters are based out of North Carolina, but dobro guitarist Andy Hall recently relocated to Lyons because he loved the mountain lifestyle so much.
"(Colorado) is the land of milk and honey," Hall said. "Every activity that I'm into is all outside my door."
Hall and the rest of the Stringdusters played at the Vilar Center last winter and have only gained more fans and recognition since then.
"Since we were in Vail last, we saw a real change as far as show attendance and the quality of fans coming to see us," Hall said. "For the first time people know our songs and know our lyrics. The band and the fans have started to connect in a way that we haven't in the past. It's been really fun."
While Hall thinks having an outdoor bluegrass fest in the winter is "crazy," he and Kinghorn both think the chill in the air and possible snow will add something special to the concert experience.
"We played once (in the Rockies) outdoors where they had just gotten three feet of snow," Kinghorn said. "Those situations are unique and they might yield a more energetic performance and people remember that stuff."
Brews and hot food
In addition to the music, the festival will have beer tastings from 3 to 6 p.m. each day from nine different breweries. Hosted by Crazy Mountain, the brewery is making a "WinterWonderGrass" blond ale just for the event. Also on tap will be a special beer cocktail, which Kevin Selvy, owner of Crazy Mountain Brewery, said is the new craze in micro-brewing.
"It's a new trendy thing where people are mixing cocktails with beer," Selvy said. "(Beer cocktails) are dangerously addicting. But you really have to know what you're doing. It takes a real mixologist to do it right."
After the tasting ends and the music begins, people will have a chance to purchase their favorites.
"We're keeping the prices on the beer and wine and spirits pretty reasonable," Selvy said. "We don't want people paying 12 bucks for a beer."
Cold beer and cool tunes are essential, but let's not forget about the food. Moe's Original BBQ will provide "everything from barbecue tofu to pork chili to their smoked turkey sandwiches," Stoughton said.
Stoughton suggests not leaving the festival without trying Moe's chili, which will warm you up while you boogey down to the banjo and upright bass.
"What's better than hot chili on a snowy day watching bluegrass?" Stoughton said. "Even if you're not a bluegrass fan, it's something to see, some of these pickers are incredible. It's more about the good vibes, trying fresh brews, and warm barbecue."

NC ends Medicaid contract with Western Highlands
Published: Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 8:12 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 8:12 a.m.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina is ending its Medicaid contract with Western Highlands Network later this year.
The change takes effect July 31 and that this means mental health providers and Medicaid clients will have to go through another managed care organization.
Western Highlands Network has oversight for state-paid and Medicaid-paid mental health services in eight counties in western North Carolina. The company started to directly administer the federal Medicaid program and transitioned to a managed care organization.
But in the first six months of 2012, Western Highlands accumulated a multimillion budget deficit, and the company fired its CEO in July.
Company officials say they were surprised by the state's decision.

On the last Monday of May each year, the country honors those who served in the military to protect America — men and women who returned and those who did not.
And while most understand that is the true meaning of Memorial Day and not just an excuse to barbecue on a day off, it is becoming clear after battles in Afghanistan and Iraq that even those ideals have been muddied.
Today, PULSE looks at how the separation between supporting a war and those who fight it — and the ramifications that follow — spill into this cherished holiday.
Recently I was a guest on a national television show, and the host expressed some indignation when I said that soldiers in Afghanistan don't much discuss the war they're fighting. The soldiers are mostly in their teens, I pointed out. Why would we expect them to evaluate U.S. foreign policy? The host had made the classic error of thinking that war belongs to the soldiers who fight it. That is a standard of accountability not applied to, say, oil-rig workers or police. The environment is collapsing and anti-crime measures can be deeply flawed, but we don't expect people in those fields to discuss national policy on their lunch breaks. READ MORE HERE
The observance of the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the Bureau of Colored Troops in the District of Columbia ccurred this week, only a few days before Memorial Day. It seems fitting that the sesquicentennial of the Colored Troops Bureau falls close to the day originally set aside to remember those killed in the Civil War. More than 180,000 African American soldiers and sailors served in the Union Army and Navy. Nearly 68,000 died. READ MORE HERE
Eye contact. That, and a firm handshake, gets you the job, right? But for a lot of veterans, that's the snag they hit in their civilian job search. They've stared down enemies, carried hundreds of pounds of gear in the desert sun, run complex computer programs and saved lives. Yet making eye contact with a superior is something that goes against everything that was ingrained in them during their years in the military. And it's just one of many things they have to unlearn to be able to function in the civilian business world. READ MORE HERE

Memorial Day evokes a jumble of emotions: pride in military service mingled with grief over the human toll exacted by war, and profound gratitude for whatever it is in the American character that inspires heroes in every generation to risk everything for the country they love more than life itself. Over the years their civilian brethren have expressed appreciation, however imperfectly, through their generous support of charities assisting veterans, especially those wounded in body or spirit.

Harry Hink always wanted to be a pilot when he was growing up in Oklahoma. He just never envisioned flying over Japan in the last year of World War II, dodging kamikazes and drawing Japanese fighters from Hiroshima before the first atomic bomb was dropped. After flying 28 missions in the new B-29 bomber, including the 500-plane flyover above the USS Missouri at the treaty signing with Japan, Hink piloted 63 more missions during the Korean War. When he finally stopped flying, Hink settled his family in Annandale, Va., in 1960, and he still lives in Northern Virginia, surrounded by three children, nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

The event brought about a comic relief and informative approach to how teamwork benefits us as an individual and as a group. I thank you very much for sharing with us.
– AW, GlaxoSmithKline
This program is one of our Food Lover's Team Building ProgramsYour team of mad scientists has created and refined a group of magic compounds. These compounds have an astounding number of applications. Their most unique application is their ability to be manipulated. They are also 100% edible."As your team is heading to perform some additional experiments a crisis occurs. When your group begins to cross a river on their route a winter storm comes up, knocking down local transportation and major forms of communication, crumbling the bridge as they cross. Half of your team has made it across the bridge. The other half is now stranded. Your team must step forward. You must use your magic compounds to save your teammates, and the day.
The Process
Given a large amount of chocolate and a variety of edible materials your group will erect a bridge. Coming from two different directions your team must build a bridge that meets in the middle.
Make it Philanthropic
Give your team building event more impact by adding a Philanthropic option! For example, check out our new Tree Of Wishes exercise!
Minimum/Maximum Group Size: 10 150 (divided into teams of 5-10)
Program Length: 2 – 3 hours approximately
Location: This program is very flexible and can be done in a conference room, meeting space or function room.

Logo design — some thoughts
Category: Design / Branding/Identity,
Posted: Dec 16th 2012
No. of comments: 2
Some thoughts for you PT guys in the Northern Hemisphere who have just been briefed on your first logo project:
We harp on a fair bit at Shillington about the value of simplicity in design. A personal favourite catch cry is 'if it doesn't need to be there, then get rid of it!'… this sentiment is so beautifully illustrated in Picasso's Bull series. Through a series of abstracted drawings of a bull, the final image so brilliantly captures the true essence of its subject void almost entirely of detail.
To bring it back to logo design, think of your logo as something that its audience doesn't have an eternity to decipher. It needs to say a lot, and quickly. Really, the only way to achieve this is through simplicity.
And at the heart of it all is process.
Beyond the initial research stages (including word mapping and mood boards) — which are geared towards expanding your frame of reference — the process of sketching and ultimately developing & crafting (in Illustrator) your logo ideas is a journey in abstraction, representational illustration and simplification — really narrowing down and focusing on some key aspects of your subject matter.
Take the work of German graphic designer Otl Aicher for the Munich Olympic Games in 1972. His pictograms for each of the Olympic sports is seen as one of the defining achievements in graphic design, due to the clarity and elegance of the work. Looking at them now there is still a great sense of freshness to them and, like Picasso's bull series, they are a real masterclass in effective abstraction.
So, to bring it all back to what you guys are faced with — the key aspects of logo design that I think you should aim to work with are abstraction, representation and simplicity. For most of you this will be your first attempt at designing a logo. Have fun with it — it should feel like it's hard work, but arriving at an effective logo solution is among the most satisfying feelings a graphic designer can have (in my opinion, anyway — maybe second to a beautifully kerned headline set in Helvetica Neue Bold!)

Osaka, Japan, now has the largest shopping mall in the country and it features this pretty amazing fountain that displays the time as well as artworks using illuminated water droplets. Created by Koei Industry, it works much like a dot matrix printer, recreating images from a PC that it's linked up to. Pretty stunning results! (Thanks for the find Maz).
You may have seen the Hyundai i45 ad which uses the same technology. If not, another one to check out. Very cool!

Organic Detox Infusion
Detox tea is reinterpreted in our Organic Detox infusion - a lush herbal tea highlighted by the clean notes of mint and basil. It's a spa retreat in a cup.
Peppermint, burdock root, dandelion root, licorice root, red clover flower, basil
Burdock root, red clover flower, licorice, basil
Cleansing and centering
Golden liquor
Refreshing with a slight zest
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one rounded tablespoon of loose herbs and fruit per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 5 - 7 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.

Health Benefits
Peppermint (mentha piperita)
Internally, peppermint has an antispasmodic action, with a calming effect on the stomach and intestinal tract. As a tea, extract, or in a capsule, peppermint is useful for indigestion, cramp-like discomfort of the upper gastrointestinal and bile duct, irritable bowel syndrome and inflammation or irritation of the gums.
Burdock (arctium lappa)
The plant has several modern medicinal uses. Rarely is the plant used alone, but is instead combined with other herbs. The Chinese believe the herb has aphrodisiac properties. Burdock has been used to soothe dry and scaly patches on the skin and scalp. It also has been used to support digestion and increase appetite.
Dandelion (taraxacum officinale)
The young leaves are widely used as salad greens and in tea as a natural diuretic. The roots are a mild laxative and promote bile flow and liver function.
Licorice (glycyrrhiza glabra)
Licorice is one of the most extensively researched medicinal and food plants. Studies on licorice have demonstrated positive effects for treatment of various types of ulcers. Others showed that dietary consumption of licorice root extract may help to lower cholesterol and act as an antioxidant.
Red Clover Flower (trifolium pratense)
Red clover may be of benefit for the relief of menopausal symptoms. One study indicates that a group of red clovers chemical constituents, isoflavones, may reduce menopausal hot flashes, while another suggests that the isoflavones in red clover may decrease bone loss and have a protective effect on the lumbar spine in postmenopausal women. Red clover isoflavones have been shown to have a positive effect on blood pressure in certain populations.
Relax and renew yourself with an infusion of this cleansing blend, that not only tastes great but will leave you feeling great.

Hackers take over sentencing commission website
Published: Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 3:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 3:23 p.m.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The hacker-activist group Anonymous says it hijacked the website of the U.S. Sentencing Commission to avenge the death of Aaron Swartz, an Internet activist who committed suicide. The FBI is investigating.
The website of the commission, an independent agency of the judicial branch, was taken over early Saturday and replaced with a message warning that when Swartz killed himself two weeks ago "a line was crossed."
The hackers say they've infiltrated several government computer systems and copied secret information that they now threaten to make public.
Family and friends of Swartz, who helped create Reddit and RSS, say he killed himself after he was hounded by federal prosecutors. Officials say he helped post millions of court documents for free online and that he illegally downloaded millions of academic articles from an online clearinghouse.
The FBI's Richard McFeely, executive assistant director of the Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch, said in a statement that "we were aware as soon as it happened and are handling it as a criminal investigation. We are always concerned when someone illegally accesses another person's or government agency's network."

With all the crummy weather we've been having it's hard to believe that spring sports get underway with a track meet - an indoors track meet at least - on Friday.
The Saints competed at the facilities at Minnesota State, Mankato against all but one of the teams from the SCC. Also in the indoor meet was Blue Earth Area, Fairmont, New Ulm and St. Peter.
All of the teams are in the same boat. The January like weather has made it difficult to get any meaningful practices in.
The Saints Head Coach Scott Allen said, "The first meet is just a chance to compete. We aren't looking to win anything, but try and get better and see where we are at in our conditioning.
"As always we are missing many student athletes due to music trips. We aren't the only ones. It does give a chance for some of the younger kids to run and get some experience.
"There are no scores kept and places are only kept if we as coaches figure it out. Its basically like a scrimmage in any other sport."

Thank you Hendersonville.
The Bear Buddy drive in Henderson County was a huge success. The community came out in force and supported our efforts to raise bears for the children and teens of the Heart Songs program at Four Seasons.
I had phone calls, monetary donations and bears from individuals as well as local companies, including the donation of a red wagon. It's wonderful to live in a community that supports the work we do with grieving children and teens.
With over 500 bears raised, we will be able to serve the young people of this community for several years. Way to go Hendersonville and Henderson County residents!
