Let's Fly Some Art to the Moon, and Other News
January 5, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- The following are things we're sending to the moon: text messages between a husband and wife, thirty-three artists' blood, microscopic sculptures, river water, DNA from a genetically modified goat. They're all part of Lowry Burgess's MoonArk, a four-chambered mass of conceptual art he designed with dozens of other contributors. Soon it will go hurtling into the dark abyss on a privately funded space flight. "A poem is like a bell," he said: "every word in a poem rings and makes all the rest of the other words ring. So in this, everything that's there is making something else ring. So the totality is meant to hum together … We think it should be different than sticking a flag in the soil and claiming territory … maybe we're leaving breadcrumbs for someone else to find their way back here. It's an attempt to communicate forward in time—it's an attempt to communicate outward."
- Plenty of books exist. But just as many, if not more, have never existed. And it's these that Samantha Hunt has on her mind: "I have spent many pleasant nights imagining ghost books, those phantom texts of possibility and wonder. Their unprintable Dewey Decimal classifications divide them into (at the very least) three basic categories: books that can only be read once, books that cannot be read in one lifetime, and the largest, aforementioned group, books that don't exist … Among the books that cannot be read in one lifetime there is Raymond Queneau's Cent mille milliard de poèmes … It is the poetic response to the mathematical function 1014 … It would take more than a million centuries to finish reading this thin, thin book of poems."
- Remember all the dumb shit you wrote about T. S. Eliot in college? Imagine if it were published decades later, when you were President of the United States of America. A letter from the twenty-two-year-old Barack Obama to his then-girlfriend sheds light not just on his exegesis of "The Waste Land" but on his worrisome tendency toward fatalism: "Eliot contains the same ecstatic vision which runs from Münzer to Yeats," Obama wrote. "However, he retains a grounding in the social reality/order of his time … Facing what he perceives as a choice between ecstatic chaos and lifeless mechanistic order, he accedes to maintaining a separation of asexual purity and brutal sexual reality. And he wears a stoical face before this."
- Today in toothpicks: they're still out there in abundance, sometimes soaked in tea-tree oil, and you chew on them at your own peril, as Ryan Bradley learned: "There is but a small window in which it is okay to have a pick in your mouth, and that is for approximately ten minutes post-meal, when it's necessary to needle stuff out of your teeth. Unless you are Steve McQueen—not the director, but the actor, who is dead—if you walk around with a toothpick in your mouth trying to look cool, you look, instead, like a prick … I put a pick in my mouth, allowing it to soften, then bit down enough to release a burst of tea-tree oil, and thought of the bacterial apocalypse I had unleashed. It was satisfying. I lingered at a stoplight, chewing slowly, murdering millions of mouth bacteria while the light went green and the driver behind me began leaning on the wheel and only then, with the drone of the long honk behind me, did I begin to speed up."
- In 1942, Shostakovich completed his seventh symphony, which made its debut in Leningrad even though the city was under siege by the Germans and many of its citizens were starving. The moment is the subject of a new documentary, Leningrad and the Orchestra That Defied Hitler: "One of the interviewees recalls her eighteenth birthday in January 1942, when she put her grandfather's body on a sledge and took it away. She remembers seeing a Christmas tree with what looked like parcels under it and then realizing they were dead children. Her voice sounds incredibly young when she talks about the performance in the Philharmonic Hall, which looked just the same as ever, and the sense of elation everyone felt as they listened to Shostakovich's music."
Magnet Hands, and Other News
October 13, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- In which Alex Mar gives neo-paganism a try and spends a weekend at a witches' gathering, only to understand, through her skepticism, the communal appeal: "most humans, once they get in deep enough, will dig in their heels and commit to the value of an experience, because to change their minds and become, instead, openly critical involves a cutting off, a loss, that's more than most of us want to bear … There's pressure not to disappoint the group or ourselves, and it colors our individual results, the stories we'll later tell of circling together. We're each here, in part, out of a desire to share secrets with the tiniest of in-groups … All religious communities, to some degree, function in this way, bolstered by the collective's dream of specialness—a specialness spun out of practices whose value can never be verified in the practical world."
- Karl Wirsum has been making "boldly graphic interpretations of the human form" for more than forty years. Our managing editor, Nicole Rudick, talks to him about art, Harry Kari, and armor: "If you think of football players putting on the shoulder pads and other protective equipment, or a baseball catcher with the mask and the pads. It's like armor, and armor really appealed to me, the abstraction attached to the human figure … the abstraction of the armor allows for movement and presents a fearsome quality to the wearer's presence. I think about it as putting on a more stylized version of what's underneath, which might look more realistic."
- "Jon was quiet, and when he spoke, he told me that his cousin had been recently murdered. 'My Aunt Margo used to call him a bad seed … He was an alcoholic, and he was murdered by his best friend after they had spent a day and a half drinking together. You can investigate the psychology of it, but basically my aunt was right: He was a bad seed … He and his friend were in a bar, and then they finally ran out of money, so they went home and continued drinking there, and apparently the friend got it in his head … that my cousin was interested in the friend's daughter, and that led to violence.' The details, Jon said, were horrifying. When his cousin was still conscious he was asked whether he wanted to be taken to the hospital, and the cousin said, 'No, he's my best friend. I don't want to get him in trouble.' " Rachel Kushner talks to Jonathan Franzen in Santa Cruz.
- I'm eating leftovers for lunch today (tabbouleh, thanks for asking) and so participating in the latest phase of an ever-developing national conversation. Because in America we have a history of caring deeply about our leftovers, except when we don't: "By the 1960s leftovers were becoming a joke to a lot of people, with a grumbling husband and a mystery casserole playing stock roles. That humor was a direct result of abundance. In the postwar era, a historically anomalous food economy was coming to define American culture, as the cost of food relative to income plummeted and even the poorest Americans were less desperate for calories than they had ever been … [but today] gleaning and scavenging and scrimping have become righteous statements in some quarters. Foraging, meanwhile, has been elevated to high cuisine."
- It's rare that an august publication like The New York Review of Books allows novices and first-timers among their ranks. But they've let this total nobody named Barack Obama interview Marilynne Robinson, and the guy, even more weirdly, goes all big-picture on the thing, turning it into a dialogue about America and democracy and religion and God knows what else …
June 19, 2013 | by Jonathan Wilson
A few weeks ago I travelled to Israel to give some talks. Along with invitations to universities I had been contacted by the United States Embassy in Jerusalem and asked if I would participate in an event that would be part of "the cultural outreach program" before President Obama's visit at the end of March. At first the terms of my employment were loose: I could discuss any aspect of my writing or writing life that I chose. As I was born in London and only came to America when I was twenty-six, I thought I might discuss the seductive appeal that American novelists, especially Saul Bellow and Philip Roth, held for me when I was a young man and how perhaps, more than anything, it was reading their fiction which stirred my desires to move to New York and become, if I could, both an American citizen and an American writer.
The embassy thought this would be fine, but then someone higher up the ladder than the delightful and accommodating woman I had been dealing with decided to intervene. Would it be possible for me, in some way, to link my talk to the theme of "Great American Speeches?" I replied that while I had certainly admired and been impressed by President Obama's Grant Park election victory speech, and while I had been thoroughly wowed by Aretha's hat at the fist inauguration, I couldn't really see how "Great American Speeches" had anything at all to do with my writing.

Be Forever Falling
May 22, 2013 | by Evan James
On my second day in Jakarta, an exhilarating, traffic-choked terror of a city, I'm walking through the Garden District of Grand Indonesia Shopping Town. Grand Indonesia Shopping Town claims to be one of the largest upscale shopping centers in Southeast Asia, and it's here, with a view from half a dozen stories up down to the luxury car parked outside a showroom on the ground floor, that a frightening, familiar, visceral impulse nearly gets the best of me. As I've learned from talking to friends and near-strangers, it's an impulse shared by many people, and, though the consequences of ever following through on it would suggest otherwise, not a suicidal one. I have to grip the railing that separates me from the shaft of empty space running from the top of the building to the bottom—the shaft that provides a view between floors, a vertical column boring through what would otherwise be a flat, dangerless circuit of shopping opportunities—because some part of me wants, more than it wants any other thing, to fling itself over the edge.
I remember a friend in New Zealand, goaded into conversation about this impulse, saying that it may "fall" into the same family of impulses as the one that drives us, as toddlers, to touch a hot stove. Driven by a basic instinct for discovery and, ironically, survival—a need to methodically taste-test the environment in which we are to go on living. But as an adult I only occasionally have to restrain myself from bringing my hand down on a hot grill. I often cling to a wall in the fear that I might actually, if I let my guard down, follow through on the impulse to fling. It's as though the overriding, rational mental jury that keeps me from known harm remains undecided on the subject of sheer drops.
Some shopper, some shopping Muslim woman in a stylish hijab at Grand Indonesia Shopping Town, must see me pulling myself away from the railing carefully—carefully but forcefully, as though I am one man physically restraining another. She must wonder. Unless she understands.
Even on the second floor of the courtyard at my guesthouse in Menteng, the Jakarta neighborhood where Barack Obama spent part of his childhood (a statue of Barack as a boy stands outside of State Elementary School 01 Menteng, moved there after its original installment in Menteng Park incited protests), I gingerly bounce my fingertips against the stone wall to combat the impulse as I walk to my room.
A month ago, in Auckland, I nearly broke down on a visit to the observation deck of the Sky Tower, 610 feet above street level. The edge of the observation deck, up against a wrap-around window providing panoramic views, also features panels of glass flooring one-and-a-half inches thick. I more or less lurched over these, fearful not that I would fall through—clearly, there was no risk of that—but that the unruly, violent, psychotic and child-like impulse would finally wear me down, and I would hurl my body against the protective glass, just to see what happened.
Not that street level in Jakarta lacks for potentially perilous excitement. In a place where the mere city proper's population tops ten million, it really is an adventure just crossing the street. Locals step into ceaseless traffic with one hand held out in a "stop" gesture, presumably hoping for the best as they ford each new roaring river of transport. After losing almost an entire day to cab rides in order to visit Kota, the derelict remains of sixteenth-century Dutch walled compound Batavia, I mostly stick to Menteng, striking out on foot. Because I want to flaunt a handsome new pair of navy leather Fred Perry shoes picked up in Sydney, I give myself painful blisters exploring the neighborhood. I make frequent stops at Indonesian coffee shops filled with cigarette smoke and chattering, stylish young people, and at the many local 7-Elevens that seem to be, with their European-style outdoor café seating, hugely popular social destinations. My heels throb with pain, lacerated by the offending shoes, but I'm charmed by life on the ground, where I can eat nasi goreng and never even think about throwing myself over a ledge.
This oddly innocent, feverishly suppressed impulse returns later, though, and with maximum intensity, at SKYE Bar, a fifty-sixth floor rooftop venue offering views of the Jakarta skyline. The bar also offers an all-too-imaginable fatal drop, which appears to me to be kept from patrons by only an admittedly discouraging band of decorative plant-life. I don't dare investigate the truth of this statement more closely, but my old friend and city contact, Dan, concurs that there is probably no significant railing, then hands me a beer.
"Has anyone ever fallen off of it, do you think?" I ask.
"Probably not," says Dan's co-worker. "It's only been open for three months."
Another of Dan's co-workers wonders out loud whether anyone has ever thrown a beer bottle over the edge.
"Can you imagine, if you threw a bottle off this building, what would happen if it hit a car in the street below?" I ask. "God. It would be like a meteor."
Conversation moves on to the recent meteor event in Russia, but I'm only half-listening, the other half of me grappling with the terrible impulse to take a running jump from SKYE Bar. The immediate possibility, visible from where we stand, of a fifty-six story free fall, pulls at my body with a magnetism so nearly irresistible that my legs begin to tremble. Before too long we gravitate away from the edge, back towards the bar, where I'm certain more than a few beads of the sweat under my arms have nothing to do with the humidity here on the island of Java.
The day before I leave for Phnom Penh, I fail to muster the taxi-taking fortitude to visit Taman Mini, a theme park east of Jakarta full of pavilions encapsulating Indonesian life, including examples of the building styles and architecture of this country's many and diverse provinces. Instead, I take a taxi to and from the post office, an errand that takes a few hours. Friends and acquaintances in Jakarta tell me that giving up on one's ambitions for the day after running a single errand is not uncommon. (Though I don't stay in town long enough to do it the right way, which requires purchasing entire pirated seasons of TV shows on DVD in exasperation and retreating to ones apartment, defeated by the city.) I go to the post office to send some gifts back to America by sea mail, and to get rid of the handsome, offending Fred Perry shoes that so cut up and blistered my heels.
A lithe, quick-moving young Indonesian man who may or may not work for the post office scares up a ragged cardboard box to use for packing. I sit and watch as, cigarette hanging between his lips, he stuffs in my fabrics and trinkets and the offending shoes, then uses a length of black plastic thread tied to a spear-like piece of metal to encase the parcel, with zigzagging stitches, in a layer of protective tarp. Soon the things I want to get rid of are safely hemmed in, the stitching as quaintly and monstrously uneven as on an old rag doll. The young man, still smoking, scribbles something on a scrap of cardboard, then hands it to me.
I understand this to mean the package will arrive in two to three units of time, though I don't know what bulan means. Months, probably. It could be years. Lifetimes. I don't really care. More than the gifts, I want the shoes gone. Blisters aside, that's one less pair of shoes in which I could, in a moment of incomprehensible, raging curiosity, take a running leap from a Southeast Asian skyscraper, or topple to my demise from the food court at Grand Indonesia.
I nod my assent, and he hauls the thing away.

After this weekend, it has come to our attention that everyone needs a few dog reminders! We currently allow dogs on the farm, but please keep these things in mind: 1) Not everyone likes dogs, so please keep your dogs on a short leash and don't let them approach other people – especially children. 2) Dogs should not be under the tents by the tree pick-up area. 3) CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR DOG!!! YOU WOULD NOT WANT YOUR TREE DRUG THROUGH POOP!!!
We want everyone to have a great experience at our farm, but if dogs are not well controlled by their owners, they should not be on the farm.

Apple marketing chief slams Android
Talk about fighting words.
Apple really has a way about them, you know that? Just about everything that comes out is lambasted by the tech company, who defiantly bucks trends in lieu of their status quo. They will tell us they re-invented just about anything, and somehow even the most evident of pre-existing tech is something they created.
Today is no different. In what can only be considered a continuation of the bad blood between themselves and Samsung, Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller dismissed the Galaxy S4 as a competitor the the iPhone. He went on to bash all Android devices, saying in part "the experience isn't as good as an iPhone." and "When you take an Android device out of the box, you have to sign up to nine accounts with different vendors to get the experience iOS comes with."
Let's address these statements individually. First, the experience on an Android device is what you make of it. This is the true beauty of open source… we can do as we like. Don't like TouchWiz? Screw it, flash a new ROM and custom theme. Vanilla Android boring you? Get the HTC One with Sense. That screen not cutting it? Get a different size.
Now, as for this claim of having to sign up for nine accounts. That's just misinformation, really. I only have to sign up for one account, and that's a Google account. Should I choose to have more accounts, that's my prerogative.
Rhetoric born of fear is trite, and puts Apple in a continually dimming light. If Mr. Schiller wants to discuss experience, I'd challenge him to tell me where I can find widgets on the app store… and which of those are lock-screen widgets. I'm also curious as to how he organizes folders on his device. Who are the major ROM developers for Apple? Can you swipe away notifications yet, or do they still show on the app icon itself? I'd like to NFC beam him my entire list of questions, so hopefully I see him soon.
Perhaps Mr. Schiller is upset that his stock options are worth about half their value from 12 months ago, or that the overall market share of iOS is so low, worldwide. Then again, he's a marketing guy… so what should we expect if not cheerleading? Normally we'd tell someone like him to get lost, but he's using Google Maps now, so we know he won't.

iphone will be dead with the s4? ……is probably
- Marsg
lol the S4 might be great but whats even better is the amount of effort all the Android OEM's seem to be putting into their devices to top it. like HTC with the one, they went all out, XOlO to release the most powerful smartphone on the same day as the S4, LG adding the eye tracking feature to their device a day before Samsung does it. Its like all these Android OEM's are going all out trying to top each other while Apple is still near the starting line. Apple is like a fat kid who verbally bully's everyone else to mask his own insecurity's
- Mikesphoneandtab
True. I love Samsung but I would hate for them to turn into an Apple and rip Android as a whole from the inside out. I want freedom, I don't want stale companies dominating the market, including Samsung. I just hope Sammy stays true to herself and keeps innovating.

not only with the S4 but also HTC one, Sony Z, and lg optimus series.

They'd still be smug because they don't know what they're losing :)

There there, Nate. You're not lost either — as soon as your Galaxy S III boots up, loads its widgets, has sufficient battery, RAM, and processor cores, and is not too laggy, you too might be able to load Google Maps. :-)

lol, i find this so funny. Apple talking smack. People are going to crazy with this os battles, it make me want to go back to a shitty nokia flip phone haha. I have the iPhone 5 and the Nexus 7. Personally love the build of my 5, hate iOS, but love the JB on my 7, and hate the build. Apple does have right to mud sling, it what companies due to retain clients, but dont let it get you guys. Androids rock!!! iPhones rock!!! Windows phone 8 rocks!!! Live life boys.
- Darktanone
Like it or not he's mostly right. I can understand your objection and defensive posture, but some of what he said are well known facts about Android and are hard to completely refute. He also could have added the malware issue. The Galaxy SIV will sell well for an Android device, but likely won't see anywhere near the iPhone 5 or 5S numbers or profit. Apple has little to fear on that front and that's just the way it is.
- paxmos
Look at this way, with millions of Galaxy devices out there, they could've been iPhones..do the math and with that kind of profit, Apple could've probably bought Bangladesh!!
- Darktanone
You could be right, but if I read the figures correctly, those sales were taken from other Android and Blackberry devices. With 70% of mobile profits going to Apple, they could buy a lot more than Bangladesh. Wayne Newton comes to mind. :-)
- Mikesphoneandtab
I agree. Apple will be alive and strong for a long time. Apple blood runs deep in too many people and their marketing is impeccable. I find it funny that Samsung has spent so much money on marketing and now they are rolling fist to fist with Apple. It just reinforces that minus the marketing Apple products would still be good but not nearly as popular as they are now. With the right marketing any company can sell a boatload. It's either that or you'd have to believe that Samsung has better marketing than Apple to sell so much of an inferior product.
- Darktanone
If we go with Phil's figures of four Android users purchasing iPhones to one going the other way and the reports that say Samsung spent over $401mil on advertising, out spending Apple by $68mil. They seem to be spending a lot more money to get less revenues, sales and profits (Apple's profits last quarter were more than twice Samsung's). It would seem Apple's marketing is smarter and requires a lot less effort to get a much better return. This is something Samsung is finding very difficult to copy.
- Piyush
Do you know that S3 had overtaken iPhone sales once in the past? It can very well do that again … Apple has ALL the reasons to be afraid, and boy, you have no idea how scared they are :). Long gone are the days when Samsung didn't matter to them.
- Darktanone
Yes, they outsold the iPhone 4S for one month around the time the iPhone 5 was released. However, they've never outsold the iPhone 5 which hit the ground running and is still selling like crazy. The Galaxy announcement is mostly hype. If Apple is indeed scared as you seem to think; then Samsung may have bigger problem on its hands, because being scared is when Apple is at its best. To compound things, Samsung also has to worry about Google gunning for them with the Motorola X phone. Nothing like a little in-fighting.
- Piyush
I know it was only for some time, but mind you that no other phone had done even that for years. So they definitely have reasons to worry. The biggest evidences that they're shit scared are the numerous ridiculous 'patent infringement' cases they file against Samsung, and their childish behavior of sending ban letters to stores even before court's judgement (and all that when they're the biggest thieves). Apple is stagnant on innovation, while other companies are really coming forward with great ideas and implementations that forced even Apple to copy a lot of their features (and that will continue). For sure reasons to be scared, now only thing that remains to be seen is whether the coming iPhone 5S will have something revolutionary, or the usual longer/thinner/lighter/faster crap.
- Darktanone
That's where you're wrong. Older iPhones have been outsold many times. It is the current version that hasn't been outsold. So no worries there. If you are the only company innovating and opening up new markets, it's easy for other companies to sit back and wait for you to make a move then jump in the game. To protect yourself from these companies profiting from your hard work, it is necessary to protect yourself by first patenting your inventions and then suing when the inevitable copying occurs. I think in the cases involving trademarks, this is compulsory or you stand a chance of losing it. This has two effects (1) The threat of an expensive and drawn out lawsuit will deter most from infringement (2) It punishes the offender. Apple has no choice but to sue to send a message that it will defend it's IP at all cost. The benefit is that companies will either license the IP or find ways to create their own innovation. In my opinion, this creates a more robust market for consumers. Can't have one company doing the R&D for the entire industry.
The technology that Apple uses to create new products and open up new markets is available to every company. They just don't have the vision to put it together the way Apple does. The technology is like ingredients in a recipe. These other companies just don't have any clue how to create a great recipe and so end up following the Leader. Apple.
The upcoming iPhone doesn't have to be revolutionary. It just has to be good and it will sell just fine. Apple doesn't have to give in to the hype and demands of you or the hordes who seem to think they know what Apple customers want or need. Apple just has to stick to their game. They call their own shots and that's it. Samsung needs to spend more and create hype to push their products. In the end they generate less revenue and profits than Apple.
- Piyush
Can you point me to any source of your claim which shows any other single phone (not a company, not a group of phones) outselling iPhone after 2009?
- Darktanone
The previous models, after a new model is released, have been outsold by some of the competition. Keep in mind that the newest model has never been outsold. Currently the 5S, 4S and 4 are the top three sellers.
- Piyush
No, it's not obvious, and no other single phone has outsold iPhone since 2009. So you won't have any reference for your 'obvious' statement. Also, I see a lot of people on the internet who blow the "copycat" trumpet when some other phone makers get inspired by Apple. They are completely silent when Apple blatantly copies from them. Like the Notification Center? Read more here : http://pocketnow.com/2012/06/13/what-did-apple-copy-from-android-and-windows-phone-in-ios-6.
In fact the company started by stealing Xerox UI. If you know a bit more about that, you'd argue that they had paid Xeror for the visit, but you'd still be wrong if you claimed they had paid for stealing. They hadn't. The reality is, the world progresses by learning from each other. Apple wants to steal from everyone in the world, but doesn't want anyone else to learn from them. That is stupid, ridiculous and mean and such culture must be stopped.
- Magneira
Did you read the article? he is not right, you can choose to sign in with android, and the experience matches ios out of the box.
- Jonny Woodburn
Normally we'd tell someone like him to get lost, but he's using Google Maps now, so we know he won't…. Sweet!!
- Darktanone
Funny… About 30 minutes ago my wife sent me a text explaining the GPS on her Galaxy SIII stopped working in the middle of traffic. She was on her way to catch an Intel shuttle flight out of Santa Clara. In the meantime, a coworker called to let her know she was about to lose her seat on the plane. After she explained the situation, the coworker convinced the pilot to wait for her and guided her to the airport. She finally made it and the flight left 15 minutes late.
- Mikesphoneandtab
I'm sorry that you misunderstood the problem then. Your wife's GPS has nothing to do with the maps. I promise you there are no major roads, cities or islands missing on her maps. Now if the GPS stopped working there are several enviromental and cellular issues that could affect the GPS signal, which could also affect an iPhone.
- Darktanone
I didn't misunderstand and I'm fully aware of the related issues. I just saw it as coincidental to Woodburn's comment about Phil not getting lost. That is all. The nice thing about Apple's maps is that it's tightly integrated into the OS and can be used with Siri. So you're more inclined to pick up the phone and ask Siri for directions than launch Google maps. Believe it or not Apple has made quite a few improvements that users are noticing. Some have reported that it's now as good as Google maps at getting you where you want to go. All this in six months after the whole fiasco at its introduction. That's impressive! Imagine in a year or two from now how far it will have progressed!
- Magneira
Well get back here a year or two ok? then you tell me! now about that integration, google now has it, it just does note make a joke and slap your back. so i think this conversation is done. it is clear you dont know what you are talking about.
- Darktanone
I'm sorry to have to ask this, and I mean no disrespect, but could you make your last statement clearer? I didn't understand it.
- Henry
Darktanone, Magneira mentioned about Google Now which is the thing made Siri on iphone become a joke. If you don't know about Google Now, I suggest you to install it from Play stor(you phone should run Android 4.1 or 4.2). It is useful and intergrate with google maps too. It also has the ability to open apps and make appointments.
- Henry
MAny companies have map now and Apple is a big company. I heard about apple maps improvement but I am not impressive because that is what a big company do. I experience both and google maps is far beyond apple maps.
- Mikesphoneandtab
That burn was so hot it singed my eyebrows off from the other side of the computer screen. I'm also sure that Mr. Schiller is going to need some ointment for that burn.

(look at yourself in the mirror and imagine life today—2013 if apple did not introduce iPhone / iOS in 2007)
android users are "arrogant" of accepting this fact.
- Mikesphoneandtab
Apple thinks they are a god. They even cloth their whole persona in white like they are some type of pure race. I can't stand them. I have never seen so many people squeeze themselves into Apple's ideal just to be associated with them, branded as them. I don't hate people, but Apple is not a person and I hate everything they stand for, or at least what they are now. They did some real good in the past. R.I.P. Apple, Samsung is about to let the axe fall.
- Henry
The only thing they can do is try to make people pay for them more with the same features and no major improvement. Glad I skip to Android 2 years ago.
- oli72
apple juice is getting desperate. sounds like someone is trying to steal others thunder. its here apple and isnt going anywhere. its getting bigger.
Apple is like Lord Voldemort! It has created Horcruxes and won't be easy to kill. I am thinking Galaxy S7 will be one that deals the final blow.. get it "7th time lucky" ?!? :D
You couldnt said it better than that !!!
I bet he wouldnt know what to say =P
- aholsteinson
I love Apple and have always liked Schiller, but his latest "tweets" about Android are embarrassing and smack of desperation.
Remember when Apple invented proteins and cold fusion? Awesome times.
- MasterMuffin
It's funny how some people actually thought that Apple was the fist to make a phone. >.<
- Chris Roberts
- yushav
Apple stucks slamming android in every chance they get while Android moves on to rule the smartphone markets….apple is truly a cry baby….lol
- Piyush
Do they still make those iPhones which we used to read about in the history books? :)
- steve blow jobs
i have not seen good writing like this in awhile, great article !
i think i popped a iBoner while reading the last paragraph.
only if steve jobs were alive to see the crapple stock drop, then that would kill him again LOL !

"Normally we'd tell someone like him to get lost, but he's using Google Maps now, so we know he won't."

Silly cheerleader, all looks and no brains.

haha epic last statement.. made my day
- inchhigh5137
- tspeak
If someone offered me a free iPhone or a free Android device, I'd go with Android any day…
- Henry
This fucking apple guy never uses Android and said that we have to sign up for 9 accounts. Arrogant is the one reason that will kill apple. I don't understand why this guy go out and ask 23 millions people who jailbroke their iphone to get a little piece of Widget.
that last paragraph has me in tears! lmao!
My sentiments exactly… Kudos brother on an article well written…
- Sal
LOL this made my day! Go home Apple!

Such a naughty boy

What's going to be really…. really….. really…. fun is when Samsung Galaxy S4 goes through some drop testing. Shock and disbelief will ensue wondering why the specially coated back cover fails to scratch. Next thing we know Apple may or may not get their color woes figured out with the proprietary coating process (developed by another company and like everything else from Apple claimed to be developed by them) on iPhone 5s or 6-s or whatever. The one they're using will turn out to not be as protective as SAMSUNG's own Secret Sauce coated back plastic cover! ;-p ……and as for front glass? Both are most likely using Gorilla Glass 3!!!
SAMSUNG has spent over 3yrs and gotten more patents on Graphene Technology for YOUM Screens and Transistors, etc…. they literally dwarf the entire competition. The coating process on YOUM screens is using this incredibly near indestructible Graphite Oxide coating on Polycarbonate Plastic (like what's in Bullet Proof Plastics in Bugati Veyron removable roof… cheap… eh? lol…). Only these plastic screens are even more scratch resistant than that expensive Carbon Fiber Plastic and Clear Polycarbonate roof!
So what's up with the Apple's colored coating problems on cheap die cast aluminum back frame/cover (cheaper than Polycarbonate Plastic, since it gets Apple Recycle-ability Credits). At last we are going to find out how little Apple spends on R&D of their own…. and how much they rely on OUT SOURCING for their so called MAGICAL and REVOLUTIONARY OWN INNOVATIONS!
The process of fusing Graphite Oxide Liquid into GRAPHENE is a highly guarded Secret those that can actually get it to bond in a single atom thickness on any surface. It's why SAMSUNG has demonstrated pelting YOUM screen with various hammers without affecting or even scratching the screens! ……..it'll be a long time before Apple is able to master Graphite Oxide coatings without outside technology! :D ….and if SAMSUNG is using their Liquid Graphite Oxide to coat their back covers on Galaxy S4….. plastic or not….. it's far more expensive, durable and higher quality than anything Apple could ever develop spending as little on R&D as they do!!!

"In particular, Schiller criticized Android for fragmentation (noting that only 16% of Android users are on the latest operating system) and an overly complicated experience of setting up and using the devices."
What is this guy talking about? in a round about way he just insulted every iPhone owner, until the next iphone 6. Unless you were completely obtuse to the point of being a child's wooden toy block, setting up and using an Android device is mindlessly easy.

Jamie Foxx in talks to play Electro in 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'
I just published my interview with Sarah Silverman and talked about how strange a fit that seems to be at first, the gleefully filthy stand-up and the biggest family brand in the world, but it really works. She gives a lovely performance in the film. And it's a nice reminder that it's not wise to prejudge what someone can or can't do as an actor.
When Jamie Foxx was cast in "Django Unchained," I had a hard time picturing it. I think he's a very modern presence and some people simply don't strike me as period actors, as people we'd believe in certain other contexts. The early footage and trailers for "Django Unchained" make me think I was wrong in my knee-jerk reaction, and I am now fervently hoping he pulls it off and does something wonderful. He's certainly got the right script and the right cast surrounding him.
And while I didn't love "The Amazing Spider-Man," I think the team that's in place could easily improve from the first film to the second one. Raimi had a learning curve on his "Spider-Man" movies, so Webb could easily do the same thing. The success of a superhero movie, at least creatively, depends in large part on who they pick as the villain. And while Jamie Foxx isn't the guy I would think of first as Electro, it sounds like that is the role he's in negotiations to play.
Variety broke the story, and around noon PST today, Foxx tweeted the following:
"Dressed up as Electro for Halloween last night. Costume fits well."
I'm happy to see it's not going to just be villains we've already seen. This reboot so far hasn't covered the same ground as Raimi, and as long as they can keep it that way, I think it makes things more exciting for fans. I'm not terribly interested in another Green Goblin at this point or another Doctor Octopus, but seeing The Lizard and Electro and Mysterio and whoever… that's cool. That's a new corner of Spider-Man's world to explore, and it sounds interesting to me.
We'll have more on the film and Foxx's character, an criminal who is able to control electricity and wield it as a weapon, as details become available, but for now, this is an intriguing indication of where the film is heading.
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" is due in theaters May 2, 2014.

The Weekend Dish: 8/20/2011
I hope that everyone had a wonderful week, and that you are enjoying a great weekend with awesome weather! I am gearing up to enjoy these last couple "official" weeks of summer with some light and fresh baked goods. And although it's already nearing the end of summer, I am about to take my first baby steps into the world of canning. I can't wait to tackle it and share it with you! What do you have on the agenda for the rest of these warm summer days? Are you making the shift to school lunches yet? As much as I hate the high heat and humidity, I'm going to miss the warm evenings. That being said, bring on the fall baking!

Have a delicious weekend!

Totally voted for you! You are awesome! Loved your top ten lists. Are you going to be posting your canning exploits? We have lots of great berries this time of year where I am and have been mulling it over. Will miss the summer too but am also looking to the fall and making another sourdough starter. It will be nice to have fresh bread every week again.
I loved canning!
I don't do a lot now, as I am on my own with my Mama.
We don't eat a lot and she discourages it, seeing no point in it for just two.
Here is a great website I frequent, trying to keep myself informed and to read the recipes.
We are now only two empty nesters but I find canning is still very rewarding and not wasteful…you can get a lot of receipes now in small batches and they make lovely additions to gift baskets for new moms, illness, new neighbours etc.
You are most deserving, lovely lady! x

Thanks for triggering some fond memories from my youth. It's been a long
time (I'm 60), and a lot of my grey matter migrated through the skull
into my hair (making it grey), then my hair started falling out! Ergo,
memory loss (that's my story and I'm sticking too it).
Therefore, some of this might be off a bit.
I remember my mother taking me shopping downtown before Shoppingtown was
a reality, and (before) our move to a house in the suburbs. I think there was a
parking lot associated with Edwards to the west of the store. I do
remember being in the "adult" section of Edwards, this being the eastern-most
part of the store, fronting on Salina Street. Then, to get to the "kids"
section, you needed to cross the street or take the tunnel
under the street. I remember some pipes up against the ceiling, and
nearly bare light bulbs to light the way.
I have this distant vision of taking a left at the end of this tunnel, up some stairs. I think the monorail was up at the ceiling, visible from these stairs as you
ascended. There were windows in the cars, and heads of children could be
seen. I think the "station" was in this room, where the "monorail train"
stopped for passenger exchange. Maybe Santa was in this room too. I
remember red and green being dominate colors, maybe just the seasonal
wall hangings.
I never took the "train", so I can't relate where it went at all. Another memory was of the record department. It was long and narrow, but you could open a record and play it in one of the very small listening rooms there.
Thanks, for the memories ... (B.H.)

Easter Bunny Holder

Make this cute Easter project for the holidays. Using an old Chinese takeout container, some fun foam, ribbon and chalk you can have this guy ready for Easter. This step by step tutorial from Heather Parsons will teach you how.
- Chinese take out boxes-mine were mini, you could use larger ones and just make everything bigger
- Fun foam (I used white with a self adhesive back and pink)
- Some Chalk for ears and cheeks
- Black pen
- Ribbon
- To start draw out your bunnies ear on the back side of the white fun foam. I drew one first and then used it as the pattern to make the other one.
- Chalk the center of each ear.
- Cut out a nose shape (I just eye balled mine) and hot glue in place. If you aren't going to use hot glue then you will want to use white glue when using fun foam.
- Draw on his eyes, mouth and chalk his cheeks. I used red for his cheeks on the box because the pink chalk didn't show up.
- Then to make his nose and ears stand out a bit more I used my black pen to draw some dotted lines around each.
- Now if using the fun foam with the adhesive back then tear off only a bit from the bottom of each ear piece and stick in place on the take out carton.
- Finish by tieing some varied lengths of ribbon on the handle using bright spring colors.

The Los Angeles Lakers have lost three straight games to the Utah Jazz, Indiana Pacers and now the Memphis Grizzlies, and we have to wonder if something is wrong in "LA LA Land."
The Lakers won their second-straight NBA title last season, and after they started this season 8-0, many thought that this team was back and better than ever.
We were thinking "three-peat."
Then Kobe Bryant and company dropped back-to-back games to the Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns, but we can't expect the Lakers to go undefeated.
Five more wins, and we jumped back on the Lakers bandwagon, but then things took a turn for the worse.
So is this three-game losing streak cause for concern, or are we being too hard on the champs?
Let's take a look at both sides of the argument and decide if now is the time to panic.

What would have PIP done if ST-246 failed testing? Would they have continued with a merger?
Seems to me the agreement was flawed, doomed to be terminated.
But that is not the situation, there is profits on the table. And its only there because PIP stepped up and financed Siga
sigaupsigadown and nicehedges are both clueless dreamers. Don't waste your time trying to rationalize with them. Neither of them have a rational thought.
You cannot use what is the situation now. What is being judged is intent and value at the time the agreement was terminated.
How much reward does PIP deserve for the amount of risk it took at the time of termination? That is the bottom line. There was a "loan" of $15 million I think, but IMO both sides had plans to terminate depending on the outcome of testing. Bad faith all around.
Come on that's easy. They would have walked as the documents were clearly marked 'non-binding'. That is why Pharmathene required that 'non-binding' be left in place.

FootNote generates duplicate numbers
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Trac Release:
When the footnotes are listed with [[FootNote]], it numbers the list. So you get a listing like this:
1. 1. Text A and so on and so on. 2. 2. Text X
The first numeral is a numbered list number. The second number is the footnote number that is a link. It is the first number that is wrong.
In my case, the [[FootNote]] call is directly after a table. But as the separator line above the footnotes is drawn, I do not think that is causing any issues.
This is with the current version of the Macro.

I'm not able to reproduce. Would you kindly?:
- Try the example, FootNoteMacro#Example, and make sure you get the expected result (shown below).
- If possible, post the exact markup from your wiki page to this ticket, in a code block so that I can copy and paste it to my test environment.
Changed 6 years ago by rjollos
comment:2 Changed 6 years ago by memartin
Looks like a CSS problem to me. The footnote list is generated as an ordered list (<ol>) in html, the list-style-type is then set to none for each list item (<li>) in CSS. Inside the li there is the footnote number as a link (<a>) back to the footnote's origin. So CSS is used here explicitly avoid the display of both the list item number and the linked number.
So it would be interesting which browser/version the OP used when he experienced the problem. The Sitepoint CSS Reference reports buggy support in IE up to 8+.
Another Idea would be that the OP uses some custom CSS which unhides the li numbers.
comment:3 Changed 6 years ago by roger@…
I just tried again, and the behavior is now correct. Since the report I have upgraded both Trac and the FootNote macro. So perhaps that did the trick. I have tried it on openSUSE 11.4 with:
- Google Chrome 11.0.696.28 beta
- Firefox 4.0
- Opera 11.01
They all work great.

The second in a series of roundtable events under Chatham House Rule to get key influencers talking about shared issues.
This event introduced by a keynote speech from the Cabinet Office, looks at how government agencies and the private sector can work together to prepare for natural hazards and their impacts more effectively. It also examined how to implement the 'Keeping the Country Running: Natural Hazards and Infrastructure' guide as published by the Cabinet Office.
This roundtable event looked at:
The group recognised that implementing the guide requires organisations to work together more closely to improve national resilience without introducing new regulation.
Some organisations felt they were out of the loop when it come to developments in hazard management, with calls for better availability of data and integrated advice. Attendees welcomed the opportunity to share / communicate initiatives around hazard management and national resilience more often in future, to ensure incentives are joined-up and messages are consistent.
It was suggested that organisations were kept on their toes by regular hazard events. Given that local events could escalate into national crises, impacts that cut across all types of hazard were covered in the Cabinet Office guide. When it comes to the likelihood of specific hazards occurring, judgements should be based on the probability of the extreme events taking place - such as the eruption history of Iceland - and possible knock on effects explored.
It was suggested that the Met Office and Environment Agency should investigate how best to influence behaviours and actions to ensure people take action after receiving a warning.
The Met Office was tasked with setting up a stakeholder working group to take these international resilience and communication issues forward. As natural hazards do not respect geographic boundaries, the working group is to consider the international impacts of natural hazards.
Overall, it was felt that the greatest threat lay, not in the next natural hazard, but in getting joined-up policy in the right place at the right time.

Great work, this is pretty close to what it sounds like on banjo!
Another thing, I strongly suggest playing measure 6 (and all measures that have the corresponding shape) like this:
It's far easier to play and is literally the exact same notes (just one string lower). This also enables you to play it in other keys, rather than being forced to Capo 9 (since the pinky reach is only possible at 9 and up).
My pinky died trying to play this song, so I knew there was a more efficient way.

Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL)
A company-wide process from Microsoft for performing regular code reviews for Microsoft software products to reduce security issues and resolve security vulnerabilities in a timely fashion. Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) efforts are grouped into seven phases: training, requirements, design, implementation, verification, release and response.
The Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle was first announced in 2003, and is built largely on the premise of mitigating classes of potentialx security exploits as opposed to addressing specific exploits on a case-by-case basis. The Microsoft SDL was also developed to help protect against unforeseen threats, which is accomplished in part by the company working with security research community to improve security and resolve new and emerging vulnerabilities.

Concord Hill is a neighborhood restaurant that is owned and operated by Kate Sheldrick and Szoke Schaeffer. The ladies are native New Yorkers and met freshman year of high school, both growing up on the Upper West Side. Together they have over 30 years of restaurant experience. After gathering their family and friends to help paint the walls, build the bar and windows, and even make the tables by hand, Szoke and Kate opened Concord Hill's dutch-door in November 2014. Concord Hill's mission is to be an approachable neighborhood restaurant serving seasonal American food and aims to be the go-to spot for a variety of occasions--a solo midweek breakfast, oyster happy hour with coworkers, date night with a friend, and brunch with your crew. The owners are thrilled that the place is filled daily with familiar faces of regulars coming in to enjoy the breath of fresh air that they passionately set out to provide.
Chef Edie Ugot, who moved to New York from San Francisco, came to Concord Hill after honing her skills at The Spotted Pig, and before that at Anissa. She has created a well balanced menu with daily specials including a rotating burger and often features dishes that are influenced by the Filipino flavors of her upbringing (she also loves mismatched socks and ramen!). Concord Hill serves wine, beer and a variety of soju/wine based cocktails. The wine list is focused on organic and biodynamic natural wines, and the beers rotate - often from local Brooklyn breweries. Come visit us!
Concord Hill is open 7 days a week serving lunch, dinner and brunch on the weekends. We have $1 oysters everyday from 4-6pm, as well as daily food and drink specials.
For lunch & dinner, we take reservations for parties of all sizes. For brunch we take reservations for 6 or more, please call.

General Electric (NYSE:GE) kicked off third-quarter results for large industrial bellwethers last Friday. The industrial conglomerate saw its industrial revenues advance 6%, excluding currency fluctuations, thanks to industrial segment organic revenue growth of 8% (up 10% year-to-date). Excluding the effects of the preferred stock redemption that occurred in the third quarter of last year, operating earnings per share jumped 13%. The company recorded positive earnings growth in all five of its industrial segments for the first time since the third quarter of 2005. Our fair value estimate remains unchanged.
Organically, the firm's energy infrastructure and transportation segments led the charge, but we were interested to see that its aviation segment did not continue its steady advance (though we attribute this to more difficult year-over-year comparisons). The company also noted that, depending on the engine model, it has backlogs of two to seven years, so aerospace remains a very healthy end market. Further, GE continues to drive profitability expansion, as margins advanced 70 basis points from the prior-year period. Management noted that it continues to remove structural costs from the business and expects margin expansion to continue in the years ahead.
Infrastructure orders, however, were down 5% during the quarter, as purchases of wind turbines slowed. And while orders excluding wind turbines and foreign exchange fluctuations advanced 4%, we'd still like to see positive order expansion (without adjustments). Management noted that $1 billion of orders were pushed from the third quarter to the fourth quarter, so timing may have been an issue. But even after adjusting for this, sequential backlog growth was flat at best.
Image Source: General Electric
Still, the company generated an impressive $10.7 billion in operating cash flow during the quarter (up significantly from the same period a year ago) thanks to a special dividend from GE Capital to the parent. GE and its common stock dividend remain on very solid footing, in our view, and we think GE Capital's balance sheet is strong, boasting a healthy Tier I common ratio of 10.2%.
Looking ahead, GE expects to deliver double-digit earnings expansion in 2012 for both its industrial and GE Capital segments. Management also noted that it plans to have a balanced capital allocation plan: grow dividends in line with earnings, pursue value-creating buybacks (stock price < fair value) and bolt-on acquisitions in the $1 billion to $3 billion range. Click here for our thoughts on GE's dividend. And while order growth may be pressured due to global economic uncertainty, GE thinks seven of its nine growth regions (China, Africa, Latin America, etc.) will garner double-digit orders growth in 2012. We continue to monitor trends in orders very closely.

I'm really just trying to make my dreams come true.
I want to become professional developer.
Right now I have experience with C-like like languages (C, C++, C#), AndroidSDK, web technologies (HTML5, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, MySql) and range of frameworks and technologies (.NET, WPF, Qt...).
I work as web developer/designer at BtgPort.
I'm learning Python and Django right now and I'm getting into AngularJS.
I want to learn to make games with OpenGL, but I don't have any free time, so it makes me very sad.
I'm also interested in single board computers, automation and PLCs, house music and other teenage stuff.
