CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- McDonald's is by far the worst restaurant when it comes to the safety and respect of their customers. I went there with my boyfriend and while we were waiting in line to order, three guys behind us kept making inappropriate, vulgar comments to me. At one point my boyfriend stepped in and asked them to stop. They then threatened and made vulgar comments towards him. When my boyfriend asked the person behind the counter for help from the manager, it was very clear that she did not speak English and anyone that did understand our request for the manager made no attempts to get their attention.
While he was asking for them to get help from the manager, the three men surrounded and cornered me away from everyone else. As I tried to get away from them, my boyfriend asked for the manager one more time, stating that he would have to take matters in his own hands to get them away from me. The person behind the counter took this as a threat to them and had the security throw us out, and left the harassers inside to proceed with their purchases.
Since we felt that they had handled the situation incorrectly since the cashiers/security disregarded the harassment we had received, we informed them that we would be reporting them tomorrow to the McDonald's Corporation Headquarters and asked for their names.
The security continued to walk towards the building, unwilling to reveal their names/position to us. Thus we started to walk towards them and asked them again. At this point the security proceeded to arrest us. Since they are only security and are not allowed to touch the customers in any harm-inflicting way, I tried to push away from the security. He took this as violence and filed a report against me for assault/battery. My boyfriend was only charged for disorderly conduct. They then forced us against our will to wait for the police to pick us up and we had to spend the night in jail.
On a further note, my boyfriend and I tried repeatedly with letters to the manager of the McDonald's where the incident took place, letters to the corporation and numerous phone calls, to clear up the issue outside of the court. After 1 1/2 months of our continued efforts, the only thing we received was a letter of apology for the "bad service" that we had received.
Thus, if you would not like to be treated as a criminal for being harassed, then I would not buy from the McDonald's corporations anymore. I did not know that a place that is supposed to be a safe haven and fun for children would allow for this type of harassment to occur. And furthermore, for them to press charges against the victims. I know for a fact that if the employees and managers of the McDonald's that night were to have been responsive to our requests for help, that we would not be facing the legal issues and emotional stress that we have had to endure.
JACKSONVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA -- Employments at McDonald's Corporations are to put it politely, a waste of time, energy, and payment. I was an event host for two years there handling parties and events. Very enjoyable work if the job had been anywhere else. I also worked behind the counter and such for one and a half years. My mother has been with the company for thirteen years. She now has an office job handling customer complaints. So I had an idea of the setbacks before I started the job. I was an employee who cared about her job who tried to succeed in all aspects of customer service, preparation, presentation, and more. This company sucked these aspirations out of me.
To begin with, I would like to place some blame on customers. First of all, it is a common misconception that jobs at McDonalds are easy and don't pay very much. Managers make as much as teachers. Store managers make as much as principals and public school board officials. Meanwhile, area supervisors easily make far above the salary of college professors. There is a Hamburger University.
As such, managers know their field. They know what they are talking about. Don't waste their time pretending like you do. Furthermore, these jobs are not easy. And things like running out of napkins, miscommunication, and ice cream machines not working is nothing to get overwhelmed about. Rudeness is. There is no excuse for any employee of any establishment interrupting without an apology.
During the order taking process, interruptions actually cause more confusions. I don't really care if you really want to know if the customer wanted Coke or Sprite. All questions can and should wait until the end of the order. Orders, no matter, how small should always be repeated. That way YOU as the CUSTOMER KNOW WHO SHOULD BE BLAMED!!! And remember, a little apology goes a long way.
Now I would like to discuss the setbacks due to the employees, company, managers, etc. McDonald's Corporation is a conspiracy in the fact that they can convince individual's to dish out work that is worth about $20 an hour, but convince them that they are only worth minimum wage. This business doesn't understand that they key foundation of all business is communication. As an event host, I was required to handle birthday parties and all other events. I cannot begin to count how many times I would run in on what I thought was my day off because there was a scheduled party I hadn't known about.
Plans are made to fix communication problems, but these are never fully resolved. They also don't understand the evils of indifference. As such, you HAVE to have your best employee train newcomers. Moreover, newcomers HAVE to be trained! Compassion must be shown for them before it can ever be shown to you. People will choose themselves before anyone else.
Now for the finally, I quit McDonald's because I was told I would have to give a months notice for day's off from events. I am a high school senior who is actively involved in dance, theatre, art, music, choir, band, soccer, and countless other activities. I took the job originally to make my own hours. By doing this, they took the only reason I started away from me. I had no further reason to stay. I cannot begin to account for the hours and money I spent on my personal materials for parties and events. As a host, I do face painting, balloon animals, and magic tricks. This all COSTS MONEY. I was hired with the promise that these would be paid for. This never happened.
Then on my final day, I was informed that I had to return all of my PERSONAL party hosting items. I quickly replied uncharacteristically rudely for my usual attitude. I told them they would get it when they paid me about $3000. (This wasn't an exaggeration.)
Now however, I am a self-employed party host that is paid $45 dollars an hour for less stress and less work. This is far better than the $7 I was receiving before. Don't work for a corporate-owned McDonalds. I would once suggest franchise. Thank you for your time, though I doubt that no one is going to read the entire thing.
EDIT: I would like to clarify one of my reasons for quitting because a comment made by one of my visitors has brought up a very good point. Notice is always expected at all working establishments. What I failed to mention is that salary managers have to give a maximum of only two weeks notice. Hourly employees need only a week in my area. Anyone above a standard manager makes their own schedule and it doesn't matter. Since I was not salary, I didn't feel this required month was fair. Especially because parties were being scheduled only twenty-four hours before its scheduled day. Thank you for bringing this to my attention though!
I'm am writing in regards to all those unhappy people that "will never" stop at a McD's again. I work in the McD's in Australia, I'm not sure how it is overseas but I know here, down under, is not what you people say it is. I have a few points that I want to clear up etc. Just off the top of my head, TOYS, we give out 1 toy for every Happy Meal bought. 1:1 ratio, it is advertised that there are 2 toys, usually it is 2 toys that you can COLLECT by buying another Happy Meal.
Secondly, do you people have any idea what we have to deal with from..well...YOU? It's constantly "I want, I want, I want." For god's sake, a please and thank you would be nice once in a while. And no matter if the fries were cooked in gold plated vats (deep fryers) you still would have something to complain about, "not enough salt, too much, shouldn't have salt on, should have salt on, my fries are cold because I decided to talk to my friend for 20 min before eating them!"
We go through hell with these, I know I have had complaints "I have 2 pickles on my cheese burger" or "The lettuce on the big mac is falling off" or whatever else you come up with. When you order your food, you want it NOW. You don't have the patience to wait an extra 30 seconds for it. We do our best to get it to you fast so just tone down a bit honestly.
We have to deal with smartass customers every day. So don't be offended when we don't laugh at you when you add a "mc" to every word you say, "Can I McPlease have a McMeal McCombo, with McFries and a McCoke, McThankyou." It's not funny, and it just shows how dumb you really are. Also have you ever worked at Macca's? If you have you will understand how easy it is to make a simple mistake, by accidentally grabbing the burger with pickles instead of the burger without them. Just politely bring it back and SAY...not Shout or be all aggressive about it.
You may not know it, but WE ARE PEOPLE TOO. I don't come to your workplace and scream at you "YOUR PENCIL ISN'T SHARP ENOUGH" do I? It seems as though as soon as you walk through the doors you turn into complete idiots. Treat us with respect and you will get better service.
Gloves is another thing I see that many people have complained about. I have done all certs in food handling and every teacher I have spoken to agrees that the use of gloves is just as bad as using your bare hands. Now I'm not saying that gloves shouldn't be used, but I know that in some parts it's not necessary. I know in Australia though it is.
Sauce charges, yes we charge for extra sauces. Some may know that McD's have now put in to play some dietary and healthy standards, like 'made for you'. We charge for extra sauces as a deterrent because one portion is better for you rather than 2 tubs of sauce. Also syrups, you complain about McD's making you fat, yet you want more syrup for your hotcakes! FGS have some sense, high in sugar or fat make you big!
No we don't substitute, if you don't want pickles but want an extra meat patty you have to pay for it. Yes, you cannot just mix and match things. We don't custom make your burgers. We have a set standard although we can take sauces away or meat etc, or add stuff on but we don't sub...you pay for all of it. The common myth that our nuggets are just the scraping of bones... NOT TRUE, Aussie nuggets are taken from the breast of the chicken.
And don't scream at us for broken shake and sundae machines or frozen drink machines... It's not like we tell that machine to break like I have had stuff thrown at me cause the frozen coke machine is broken. We have to wait for the repair people to come out and fix it, and you know what they are like.
I'm not saying that all customers are bad, and I'm not saying that it's always your fault. And I totally understand that some crew people look and act like they have just been picked off the street and have no manners, but before you get on your high heels and become that mad customer, try being polite about it and I'm sure we will fix it for you. We take a lot of crap from you. Thank you.
GLACE BAY, NS, CANADA -- This past Saturday we went through the drive through at Mcdonald's. Me and 4 friends were in the vehicle, we placed 2 orders, and we were all coming from a party and the passengers in the back were all after having a few drinks. My boyfriend and his friend were in the front. So we were carrying on amongst ourselves and whatever and so we get to the window and the girl serving us says "don't take my picture", and she said this cause I had my camera out taking pics of me and my friends, and I didn't take her picture nor did I want it.
Then she leaves and the manager on duty who's no older than 18 comes to the window and throws our food at us and says we're being "rude and obnoxious" and not to come back. So then my boyfriend says "excuse me how are we being rude" and he says "you were taking pictures and carrying on like fools and being rude", etc, and then he slams the window and so my boyfriend's friend who's in the passenger seat gets outta the car and stands up and is like "open the window" because they had left the window and they could not see us as we were lower than the window in the car.
So he comes back and says "don't come back" and slams the window again, so we go back through the drive through because at our Mcdonald's they only let you place 2 orders at once, and we had 2 more orders to make, so they wouldn't answer us or ask us for our order. They just totally ignored us.
Then my boyfriend called them on Monday and wanted to talk to the head manager and they said he would call us back either Tuesday or Wednesday. So he did today and he asked for my boyfriend's name and address and his car make and model and all that, and we gave it to him thinking he was going to come and apologize or something.
But then once we gave him the info he starts screaming at my boyfriend, cursing and swearing and threatening him with legal action, saying we were "being little pricks trying to get free food" and that we were threatening the staff, which NONE of this happened whatsoever. And (did I mention that this Manager is the Father of the male who slammed the window in our faces several times on Saturday?).
So my boyfriend asks if they have audio of this because he wants to hear where we made threats, and the manager says no "he doesn't have audio but he has a tape of us in the drive through", and my boyfriend says "Then I want you to ask the girl who served us what I said to her that was so rude" and the manager says "No I will not ask her. I know what you said" (funny though cause he was not there and does not have an audio tape??).
My boyfriend then asks if he can see the video cause he would like to see where we made threats then and the manager said "NO" and started cursing and swearing at him again. Then my boyfriend hung up cause he was so pissed off and couldn't believe what this manager was saying to him and how he was treating him.
But he then realized that he had his information and wasn't sure what he was going to do with it cause obviously he has some sort of temper. So he called back and the manager wasn't there. Shortly later the manager calls back and starts with his yelling and hollering again, told my boyfriend he was going to "give him advice & to choose his friends better", which has NOTHING to do with the situation at all.. The funny thing too is that if we were in our 30's or 40's they wouldn't have said a word to us and guaranteed the manager would have called and apologized to us.
The manager told my boyfriend that he is responsible for the way the passengers are acting, so if that's the case what happens when a mom pulls through with a bunch of kids in the back screaming and yelling and crying, are they going to say "listen lady shut your kids up?", no they aren't. So what makes them think they can talk to us the way they did. NOTHING. There is not a single reason for the way they treated us. ESPECIALLY the MANAGER.
We will be going to MCDONALD'S CANADA and writing a letter. We tried calling but they said there is nothing they can do for complaints that we'd have to file it against the store, which in this case I'm sure the manager would just laugh at us and throw our complaint out.
I myself work in customer service and I can't think of a single manager who would DARE talk to a customer that way, especially using threats and verbal abuse. Nor can we as employees do this. Customer is always right, are they not? We also filed a police report on the manager because we felt threatened by him cause as soon as he took our information he started with threats so we weren't sure what he was going to do. Me and my friends are absolutely mind blown by the way we were treated by the staff and management. McDonald's can be sure they won't have us as customers anymore.
LLAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Why is it when I go to eat, the service never matches what the TV commercials make us believe we will get? It's bad enough that I now need to take an interpreter with me just to order - My Polish Great - grandmother Kaszinsky made her children "learn the language of the new land, not the old country" as she put it; She understood. The order takers are masters of making me feel like I'm in the wrong for complaining if I have to slowly explain what I wanted when they ring it up incorrectly.
I am by no means the master of correct grammar; however, I am always open to learning and improving my abilities. Why all of this fanfare over a fast food fungus like McDonald's? It is because this company is the blood pressure monitor of the culture of America. They reflect back more than the enlarging of our society's waistline.
Fransisco, at store 17708 in Las Vegas recently gave me my order of Asian Salad without the little bags of almonds. I asked him for the bag and he said we don't have any. I had already eaten several bites the salad before our conversation and I politely asked him what he planned to do to rectify the situation upon notice of his blank stare. He said the only choices were for me to eat it without the almonds, or to bring the whole salad back for a refund...
While I was there at the counter, five (yes 5!) other customers came up to complain about messed up orders as well. Not once did I hear "Sorry", "Thank you", or any other well-mannered verbiage spouted from the mouths of the employees other than the word "yeah". The "ghetto" lingo that has become the iconic language of our "look at me" generation is a reflection of the new "no one else matters" standard in America!
Why has the influence of poorly educated, unmotivated, self-absorbed gangster wannabes become the only aspiration of so many young people. You see it in the clothes we buy and the street language we hear on television. Why has the world found favor with people that can only find validation, not through their personal achievements or good values, but only through their vulgar language, scarring tattoos, and acting like something they have seen on TV?
Is behaving like Snoop Dog (Snoop Dork in my book) the highest accomplishment a human being can achieve? Does his standard and values of being reach the zenith of all that human being should and can become? Someone let me off this train! I beg you!
The search for the meaning of life should reach higher than the hydraulic bounce of a low-rider car (insecure-mobile), more in depth than the foundation of make-up, or farther than the pass of a football. Maybe McDonald's should try training their employees the fundamentals of respect, common courtesy, and self-initiative. As Fransisco seems to have none of these attributes when he didn't stick around for my answer but went on to make a milkshake and just ignore me as if I was no longer something to worry about, I realized he just didn't care. This lack of care for others (the minimum wage syndrome) was really a reflection of his lack of care for himself.
Once, I had a job that required me to clean toilets and I didn't like it; however, I had enough self-respect to make sure that they weren't just clean, but that they sparkled! Is the sparkle in America gone? The "judgementalists" among you may claim I am intolerant for a variety of reasons to single out a working class group of people even though I was working in the same class when I cleaned toilets; wouldn't their hate of an intolerant person make them intolerant as well?
If we, through our desire to be tolerant accept and celebrate mediocrity, ignorance, and selfish rudeness, we have failed as a species. Life isn't just about the destination of our journey - it is about how we strived for decency and the lifting of a higher hope along the way. I ask McDonald's to not just make money, but make an effort to add richness to our society.
NORTH LAS VEGAS 215FWY & DECATUR AGVENUE, NEVADA -- RE: WOW! Is this how you treat faithful longtime patrons!!? I have been a faithful customer of McDonald's for more than 30+ years; enjoying it nearly on a daily basis and spending LOTS OF MONEY. I have bragged and debated with friends, family and strangers at how much better McDonald's was in comparison to Burger King, Jack in The Box, etc., and I've been a very satisfied customer; with the menu. But recent events have shattered the great image I once had for your company. And I regret ever spending a dime with you. For customers, all it takes is one bad experience and we can never look at that company the same again; nor can we patronage it.
I now realize that customer service is not an important element to the success of McDonald's unless you are of a different race or financial community. I have never experienced such poor customer service and discrimination until now. My first bad experience was during the Grand Opening week of the McDonald's on Decatur & 215 in North Las Vegas, Nevada. I entered the store at approximately 5:15 am (the doors were unlocked). As I approached and stood at the counter, staff members saw me as I entered the store but then passed by and didn't even acknowledge me.
Finally, after a few minutes, a manager turned around and said, "'oh, I'm sorry, but we're not open until 6 am". I didn't look on the door to verify the hours of operation and just walked out disappointed to catch my bus. I did not report this incident because it was a brand new store and I felt that they just weren't organized yet. So I left it alone to give them a break.
However, this recent event on today, November 21, 2007 was completely unacceptable, they've had ample time to get things in order, plus what business opens their doors before they are ready to accept customers?? And what business states the hours of operation on their door yet opens ½ hour later and gives its patrons no explanation?? In both these scenarios, my answer would be BAD BUSINESSES!
Once again, I arrived at McDonald's on Decatur & 215 at 5:15 am expecting to purchase my favorite meal, a Sausage McMuffin with egg. To me no one beat "Mickey Dee's" (that was the famous nickname my friends and I used growing up) on their breakfast menu and I was excited to make my first purchase. My twin sons, who "were" also patrons, told me that they were open at 5 am now, so I was even more excited to learn that they would now open earlier than 6 am and that I can purchase my daily breakfast just before getting on my first bus to head off to work.
Now, mind you it was very early and extremely cold outside and I had only 15 minutes to catch my 1st out of 3 buses (a three hour commute) to my job in Henderson, Nevada. So as I attempted to open the door, which stated that the "Dining area opens at 5:00 a", I found it to be locked. Therefore, I knocked on the door to gain the attention of the people at the counter, whom by the way saw me standing there "IN THE COLD". They never acknowledged me and continued to ignore me; as my knocks became harder. They all looked my way and continued about their business.
There was one maintenance man working on a machine (he looked up & ignored me), two cashiers in red shirts (they looked up & ignored me) and an assistant manager or manager in a white shirt that also saw me and ignored me. So, finally after 15 minutes passed, IN THE FREEZING COLD and realizing that I wasn't leaving, another manager in a light brown or grey shirt (I couldn't tell the color too well because it was so dark outside) came to the door.
I asked her why would you have a sign on the door that states the dining area opens at 5:00 am and here it is 5:25 am and the doors are locked. I explained to her that I'd been standing outside for over 10 minutes knocking & the staff would see and hear me knocking on the door but continuously ignore me without at least coming to say that they are delayed in opening the doors or even waving their hands to say "just a moment", I GOT NOTHING?
All she could say was "I'm sorry; I wasn't in here to see you". I told her that I change my mind on purchasing another thing from McDonald's and I will guarantee that everyone I come in contact with, including my friends and family WILL know about this experience.
Since this has happened twice, I have a strong feeling that this is what to expect from the McDonald's of today and I also feel it is a racial issue. So if that is how you operate I will make sure I inform everyone I know in "my race" to not support McDonald's; unless they are willing to accept low-grade customer service.
Oh, by the way, I ended up going to Burger King where I received OUTSTANDING customer service from the moment I walked in the door. No discrimination at all, they actually treated me as if I were someone very important. I will definitely tell my friends, family, co-workers and STRANGERS about both experiences! You can learn a lot about customer service from Burger King!
CLAREMORE, OKLAHOMA -- I just found this site and I just had to share the experience I had a few weeks ago at the McDonalds in Claremore, OK. Here it goes... (WARNING!: Story May Gross You Out!) A couple of weeks ago I got off a double shift at my work at around 12:15 (I'm a waiter at a restaurant). I pull into the local McDonald's to get a quick meal. There are about 3 cars in front of me. No big deal, I'll just wait a couple of minutes. WRONG. 10 minutes go by while I'm stuck in the drive through. There is a median where they take your order so I can't drive off.
After 16 minutes I finally get my meal... as I drove off I figured out it was some of it. I ordered a 20 piece McNugget Meal at the beginning. What I got was a 20 piece McNugget and a Drink. They forgot my fries. Me being a waiter I said to myself, "OK they got my order wrong, people make mistakes. It's OK, I'll just drive to the front door (The Drive Through line was packed again. Maybe 5 cars.) and just get my fries." Boy was I wrong. I park my car and knock on the front door. There is a man mopping the floor near the door hearing me knock. No response. I knock harder and he finally looks up.
I tell him I'm missing some fries through the door. All he had to say was, "Drive-Through". I respond by saying I went through the drive through and I was just missing some fries.. could he just hand me some. He says "No, You have to go through the drive through." I said "can you get your manager." He then obliges and gets the manager. The manager doesn't come to the door and just shouts from behind the counter "You have to go through the drive through."
I finally said whatever. So I get in my car go around the drive through and park on the access lane alongside the restaurant. There is another car near the window. So there is the window, the other car, then me. The manager yells across the other car to me "We don't sell 20 piece McNugget Meals." I was like what the hell. I've been getting this for 5 years with no problems.
I tell her that I ordered a meal and I will not leave till I get my fries. She then obliges after about 5 minutes of yelling over the car in between us. What I got was a hand out the window holding the fries and a "Fine, here are you fries." I responded with "No you come here and hand them to me. I tried to be nice and get them from you at the door. You said to go through the drive through and here I am. The whole point of it is for me not to get out of my car."
Then to my astonishment, the other driver (the driver of the car between us) took the fries from the manager and brought them to me and said, "I'm going to call on the idiot too. Don't worry." So after 35 minutes I got the fries and drove off with no apology from the manager.
So I get home and to make the night even worse I bite into the first McNugget. *Crunch* *Gag* I spit out the McNugget and find a chicken talon. Let me repeat in case you thought you misread that. A CHICKEN TALON. Gross! I ziplocked that piece and threw away the rest. I lost my appetite. So after 35 minutes I ended with no food in my stomach, a headache, and a chicken talon. I called the Complaint hotline the next day. They said they would send me some coupons for free meals. What did I actually get when I got the letter? That's it. Just a letter thanking me for calling. No Coupons. Not like I planned on going back. I for one am boycotting McDonalds for life.
ALBANY, NEW YORK -- Against my free will I was forced to once again travel to McDonald's in order to purchase a happy meal for my nephew before visiting my brother. I expected this to be a quick visit and decided to use their drive thru. I attempted to order my nephew a cheeseburger happy meal at the drive through window, but since my nephew is now eleven years old I told the employee taking my order that instead of including the happy meal toy that I would like to upgrade the cheeseburger and small fries to a Big Mac and large fries.
There was a long moment of silence over the loudspeaker and right before I was about to lay on my horn, it became apparent that this woman was hard of hearing because she began ringing me up for the ridiculously overpriced Number 1 Value Meal. I began shouting "Hey! Hey! Hello?" until she finally stopped and I repeated my order nice and slow for her.
At this point, I was getting rather impatient of waiting for my nephew's food so I told this woman through the loudspeaker that I never had any problems upgrading from a junior whopper to a double whopper for my nephew instead of receiving a toy at Burger King. Now this may have been a little white lie, but I see no harm in it and the lady responded by saying "Please pull up" so I guess I was right. Now we are getting somewhere I thought. I was wrong.
I pulled up to the window and waited for what seemed like an eternity before the lady appeared with a female manager. It was the manager who spoke to me, the original female employee did not utter a word. She told me I could either receive a cheeseburger happy meal with a toy or a number one Big Mac value meal and that they could not substitute the items. I asked them if they cared at all about satisfying the customer or my nephew and the manager responded although I was hardly paying attention due to calling my brother and telling him I would be late due to these moronic employees.
All the while, the original employee kept looking back at the line of cars behind me. Apparently, they were growing impatient judging from the employee, but I refused to be taken advantage of. Flatly, I told the manager that I was willing to compromise by purchasing the Number 1 Value Meal like she wanted, at the price of a happy meal. At this point the manager LAUGHED AT ME and told me, and I quote, that I "don't get it". "Don't get it?" I shouted. I told her that I wasn't moving from this line until I receive a free Big Mac Happy Meal with the toy for her treatment of me before I report her to the district manager.
It was at this time that the original employee came out of the store and was speaking to the individuals in their cars behind me, no doubt apologizing for the wait they were forcing all of us to endure. I was sitting in my car for 4 additional minutes (I watched the time pass on my car radio) before a third employee brought me a bag with a Big Mac and large fries inside.
Upon looking in the bag I discovered there was no toy inside so I waited until the employee returned. Ignoring the people rudely gunning their engines behind me I told him I needed a happy meal toy and a soda. Finally, almost 15 minutes after this horrible ordeal McDonald's put me through it was finally over. Why oh why do I keep having to go back to this terrible place?
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- I visited this McDonald's for the first time last night and will NEVER visit again. I ordered a cheeseburger, French fries and soda last night before my class at DePaul. I took my first bite and got a huge pubic hair in mouth. It was INSIDE the sandwich. I nearly threw up. I still gag thinking about it.
My disgust was compounded when I notified the manager and he barely blinked an eye. He didn't apologize; he literally threw another cheeseburger on the counter in front of me. I told him I did not want another burger. Seriously, why would I eat something made in the same kitchen that put a pubic hair in my mouth only minutes earlier. He ended up giving me $1.11 back despite the fact that I couldn't eat my entire meal. I am disgusted by this entire situation and how it was handled. Poorly done, McDonald's.

The urge to impulse shop during the holidays runs strong among Americans, but even stronger among Millennials.
Three in four Americans have made an impulse purchase.
Online grocery shoppers tend to buy fewer impulse purchases online than in store, resulting in smaller basket sizes.
Consumers value the retail store experience on multiple levels and continue to make the vast majority of their purchases in stores, according to a new study from global management consulting firm A.T. Kearney. The report found that the physical store is the channel of choice across all ages (from Millennial to senior citizens) and household income levels (from less than $25,000 per year to more than $100,000 per year).
Higher consumer confidence levels, increased impulse buying and consumer intent to spend more could all lead to an upside surprise in 2012 holiday spending, according to Nielsen analyses.
Research results released by The Integer Group and M/A/R/C Research found that, despite a shopping list being a tool to stay on budget and eliminate unnecessary purchases, nine out of 10 shoppers still buy items not on their list.

Celtics Knicks Record
April 24, 2011 by staff
Celtics Knicks, Quick Start guide the Celtics was a key ingredient in his victory in Game 3 unequal. It was -0 just over three minutes in, and its place in the future shot up to 17 (22-5), before Boston ultimately settled for a 27-20 advantage heading into the second frame. Another hot start does wonders for the Celtics in the competition for potential settlement on Sunday. Worst of Boston can do is play with a false sense of security and take the Knicks are going to roll because injuries mounted and are in less than desirable -0 hole. The Celtics need to be the game as if his back against a wall, and end this series in a convincing way.
Stop if you've heard this before: Bank of Boston met only 13 total points between two players in Game 3 (Jeff Green scored nine, Glen Davis contributed four) once again not having a significant impact in victory Celtics was driven by the headlines. It's no mystery to the Celtics reserves that have not been playing well, but so far have not been able to have that breakout game. The Celtics have been able to right the ship in a variety of areas such as the series has progressed (defense, rebounding, etc.) Victory-based backup would be a way to encourage Boston to close the Knicks and advance to the second round.
Of course, a strong game reserve would be encouraging, but the Celtics still rely heavily on their owners, regardless. How will Paul Pierce and Ray Allen made after becoming the first Celtic player to record 30 or more points in the same game since 2002? Rajon Rondo was monitoring his 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 20-assist triple-double with another dazzling performance? The Knicks were helpless against the Boston trio of All-Stars in Game 3, and at the same time asking for repeat performances may be a stretch, hands shooting of Pierce and Allen could still be hot and Rondo has proven over and over Once when he gets locked in, is one of the best in the league to control the flow of a game at both ends of the court.
In his prime, Rajon Rondo can take a rebound away from the defenders of darts, and was a teammate and All-Star to a basket.
Amare Stoudemire can shake a matte board with a large scope, or frighten a spectator sitting on the court hard blocking a shot off the field.
Cannot now, however.
Rondo is shooting pain and Stoudemire is one of the reasons for the Celtics to bring Boston a -0 lead over the New York Knicks in Game 4 of their first-round series on Sunday.
The Celtics will be looking for their first sweep since beating Indiana in three games in 1992; so long ago that Larry Bird was last victory in the playoff series.
After needing only seven games out of first round in and '09, would welcome the opportunity to do something easy for a change – especially with likely second-round rival Miami on the verge of completing a sweep of series with Philadelphia.
"I've never been part of an operation, but I like to think of those things. Do not worry about it," forward Paul Pierce said after practice at Madison Square Garden. "It's about getting a better game at a time. We want to close the series, but we will not give us."

"We are pretty confident Bacarri will (play)," Richt said. "We are a little less confident that A.J. will, but we're not counting him out yet."
Green, Georgia's leading receiver, suffered a left shoulder sprain after being tackled against Auburn. Richt said Green still does not have full range of motion in the shoulder, which doesn't bode well for his immediate return.
"Right now we're still working on the strength and getting the soreness out," Richt said. "He doesn't have full range of motion right now, but sometimes those things can change quickly and sometimes they don't."
Richt said Green would likely need to have seen dramatic improvement by Thursday in order to play against Tech.
Offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said he would hold out hope right up until kickoff, however, that Green might be able to play.
"I'm approaching it that I hope he's out there. I'm still optimistic," Bobo said. "I think he could go out there if he's ready to go gametime, we could tell him what to do and he could go run the route and make some plays."
If Green misses the game, freshman Rantavious Wooten would likely get the start in his place.

The department of Herault is in the Languedoc-Roussillon region located in the south of France. It is surrounded by the Pyrenees-Orientales, Ariege, Tarn and Aude departments.
Widely regarded as possibly the most dynamic department in Languedoc Roussillon with Montpellier as its capital and the popular seaside resorts of Sete and Grande Motte bringing in millions of tourists every summer, the Herault department is certainly busy and growing.
But despite all the activity along the coast, the interior of Herault is as beautiful and unspoiled as it has always been. The Herault countryside is glorious, driving away from the coast into the foothills of the Black Mountains you can get lost in an ocean of vines.
Villages in the department of Herault are incredibly pretty. Roquebrun is stunning, with its bridge and old water mill on the river Orb. St Guilhem-le-Desert is also beautiful - and one of Languedoc's top tourist spots.
Herault is also a favourite of Brits looking to move to the area. Pezenas and Lodeve are both popular towns - Pezenas used to be the region's capital and is becoming quite chic.
In short - the department combines beautiful countryside with the buzz and glamour of a major city (Montpellier).

No letdown for Cox, Auburn against TulaneOct 21, 2006 - 9:47 PM AUBURN, Alabama (Ticker) -- Brandon Cox and Auburn probably would like to renew acquaintances with Tulane a lot more often.
Cox threw three touchdown passes and eighth-ranked Auburn followed up an emotional victory with a methodical 38-13 triumph over Tulane in a non-conference matchup.
After knocking off then-No. 2 Florida last week, Auburn was hosting Tulane in the first meeting between the programs in more than 50 years.
Auburn and Tulane played each other 36 times from 1902-1955 but had not met since. If Cox had his way, he would line up against the Green Wave again next week.
"Brandon had a great day and that was the best protection that we've had," Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville said. "He's getting a lot more confident throwing to different receivers and we are going to have to do that as we go down the stretch."
Cox completed 18-of-27 passes for 182 yards against the Gators but could not get the offense in the end zone. On Saturday, he went 16-of-19 for 212 yards and threw two of his scoring strikes in the second quarter as Auburn pulled away.
Cox connected with Tommy Trott on a 27-yard TD pass on the first play of the second quarter to give Auburn (7-1) a 14-7 lead. He found Tre Smith for a six-yard score just under three minutes later to make it 21-7.
Tulane (2-5) was able to move the ball, racking up 389 yards, but never was able to stop Cox and Auburn's offense.
The Green Wave entered the game ranked 110th of 119 Division I-A teams in total defense, surrendering 411.33 yards per contest. They were in usual form Saturday, allowing 432 yards.
With Kenny Irons sitting out with turf toe and a sprained ankle, Ben Tate picked up the slack and rushed for 156 yards and TD on 26 carries for Auburn.
"Ben did a good job and we are going to need him," Tuberville said. "We are just beat up. Kenny Irons is still hobbling around. Brad (Lester) is going to be hobbling. (Tate) might be the starter next week. It just depends on what happens."
John Vaughn became Auburn's all-time leading scorer when he kicked an extra point after the first touchdown. Vaughn entered the game tied with Carnell "Cadillac" Williams with 276 career points, and finished Saturday with 284.

The atmosphere and presentation in the showroom was simply too impressive not to share with our clientele. We partnered with w+h to replicate the experience by installing the Byborre space suit in our shop and bring the collection to Toronto. We were joined by wings + horns head of sales Adam Mills and Toronto native Dwayne Vatcher, who is currently marketing manager, to join us for the event. We invited our most valued clientele to browse the collection via private shopping appointment. The showroom vibe allowed customers to seen the collection in it's entirety and speak directly with wings + horns representatives about the brand. In addition, clientele had the opportunity to view and purchase the exclusive M-51 fishtail parka made exclusively for NOMAD as apart of our 10 Year Anniversary project. Afterwards we opened up the space to the public who joined us for drinks and music.

Just a few carats less "Gold plating" of EU employment legislation
Following a lengthy consultation process, the eagerly awaited final version of the legislation amending the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE 2006) has been laid before Parliament. They have the catchy title of the Collective Redundancies & Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2014 (TUPE 2014). TUPE 2014 will, essentially, take effect on 31 January 2014 in Great Britain.
The government has also published guidance to the changes.
Those hoping for a wholesale liberalisation of this employment protection legislation and an end to UK "gold plating" of EU legislation (that is, going further than is strictly required) will be disappointed. To be fair, the government has been managing expectations for a while in this regard.
In short, TUPE 2006 & 2014 is EU driven and seeks to protect the jobs and terms & conditions of employees at a time of business/organisational change such as a sale of a business or many outsourcings. Therefore, employers' freedom to act with impunity and without additional cost is restricted.
Here is a brief summary of the key changes:
TUPE 2006 introduced under the last government had, on the whole, helpfully clarified that TUPE would apply scenarios to many outsourcing/insourcing (e.g. of IT, catering, facilities management etc.). This was done through a new concept known as a service provision change ("SPC"). In 2013 the government had proposed that this concept would be removed. In our view, this would have made a relatively level playing field in the outsourcing world very bumpy and muddy indeed.
TUPE 2014 confirms (following an indication of a change of mind at the end of 2013) that SPC is here to stay after all.
However an amendment (taking effect in relation to any TUPE transfers on or after 31 January 2014) to the definition of SPC will mean that TUPE will only apply in this context where the new activities being carried out are "fundamentally the same as the activities carried out previously". This change reflects the trend of most recent case law – in other words, codification.
With these words now enshrined in the legislation itself, rather than left to judicial interpretation, it will be more open for incoming contractors to argue cogently that TUPE is not applicable. We have already seen a greater propensity for new providers (e.g. on a change of outsourcing) to argue that their approach to service delivery will be so radically different that TUPE does not apply.
So what?
Well, existing contractors will potentially be left with irrecoverable costs if they are less able to "flow through" their staff to their replacement/s. Ideally, they will be able to rely on an existing commercial contract with their customer to absorb or at least share some of the redundancy/severance costs. If not, what was a profitable contract may well prove less so.
From a customer's perspective, it will also need to review the terms of any existing commercial agreements – has it agreed to reimburse or share any redundancy/commercial exit costs?
Future outsourcings or re-tenders of existing services will need to be more carefully planned: what is the size risk/cost; what opportunity is available to establish that TUPE does or (as the case may be) does not apply; what adjustments to the procurement process or the service delivery model can assist those opportunities; are there business continuity or service quality/overall added value reasons which should take precedence?
Ultimately, many scenarios will be worked out in commercial, pragmatic negotiation – but against a slightly nuanced background than has been the case.
A note of caution here. Courts and Tribunals can be very nimble in their approach to interpretation. Of late, the trend has been to a more restrictive application of TUPE (i.e. it applies less frequently). However, it would not be a huge shock if a different more (ostensibly) employee favourable application of TUPE 2014 were taken by Courts as they seek to constrain what are perceived as exploitative employers. This makes it doubly important to ensure, as far as possible, that whatever the law may be now or in the future, your cost and risk profile is as you had budgeted.
Overlapping TUPE and redundancy consultation
One of the frustrations in TUPE projects, can be the risk of not being able to count pre–transfer consultation for collective (i.e. 20 or more) redundancy timelines (i.e. 30 or 45 days). This leads to increased cost and business disruption. With the consent and cooperation of current and prospective employers, the pre-transfer consultation can count, which would avoid having to reset the consultation "clock" at the point of transfer. This is a helpful change, although it does rely on the employers cooperating, which may not be the case where a rival contractor is replacing another.
This change will be effective on 31 January 2014.
Employee data
The requirement on current employers to provide employee liability information on the staff also remains, with the deadline for compliance changing from 14 days to 28 days before the transfer. In most transactions, this will be too little too late and the parties are left to commercially deal with matters, but the additional 14 days are a helpful back up to that. This change will be effective for a TUPE transfer from 1 May 2014.
Collective agreements
The recent decision in Parkwood Leisure Limited v Alemo-Herron is now enshrined in TUPE 2014. This confirms the static approach applied to collective agreements with third parties (such as national public sector agreements) – i.e. that the new employer is bound by the terms as "frozen" at the point of transfer, rather than any future changes.
However transferees will be able to change terms derived from collective (i.e. with trade unions) agreements one year after the transfer, provided that the overall change is no less favourable to employees. The "overall change" language represents "gold plating" by the UK of the EU legislation as no such restriction exists in the EU Directive from which TUPE is derived.
These changes will be effective for all TUPE transfers from 31 January 2014 and, in relation to the change of the employment contract, the change is agreed or effective on or after that date.
Dismissals and changes to terms and TUPE
Dismissal of an employee under Regulation 7 of TUPE 2006 will now only be automatically unfair if the reason for the dismissal is the transfer itself. The removal of "a reason connected with the transfer" attempts to limit the scope in which dismissals under Regulation 7 will be automatically unfair.
An amendment to TUPE 2006 confirms that a variation in contract will not be automatically void even if the reason for the variation is the transfer itself if "the terms of that contract permit the employer to make such variation".
Whilst these changes reduce (but not eliminate) the amount of gold plating by the UK, it is difficult to think of many practical examples of how they will provide greater employer flexibility.
These changes will be effective for all TUPE transfers from 31 January 2014 and the variation to the employment contract is agreed or effective on or after that date.
Location based redundancies in a TUPE context lawful
A change in the place of employment will now be a justifiable reason for dismissal, even where TUPE has led to the dismissal (a so called "ETO" reason). One of the apparent oddities of TUPE 2006 is that a redundancy based on a change of workplace may not, on the basis of an NHS reorganisation case be a fair dismissal (for which the downside can be up to a year's salary). This anomaly will be addressed when this aspect of TUPE 2014 is effective in relation to a TUPE transfer from 31 January 2014 and where a notice of dismissal (or, if no notice is given, the effective date of termination) is on or after that date.
Consultation & micro-employers
Employers will be permitted to consult directly with employees in relation to a relevant transfer where there is no recognised independent union, nor any existing representatives and fewer than 10 employees. This change will be effective for all TUPE transfers from 31 July 2014
The "gold plating" is reduced from, say, 20 carats to 16. The accusation of gold plating is perhaps a rather simplistic one and we would argue the SPC "gold" provides overall greater certainty to business in an outsourcing context.
The addition to TUPE of the language of a service being "fundamentally the same" will introduce greater scope to argue, however, that TUPE is not applicable due to a change in the service delivery.
Overall, the Government has made a respectable attempt at using what modest "wriggle room" it has under EU law to clarify TUPE in a number of respects. Those hoping for a more radical, free market overhaul will be frustrated (but were always likely to be so) and will have to hope, it would seem for a more fundamental reworking of the EU/UK relationship.

|Isawa Kaede,
Ninube Kaede
|Ninube family founder
Doji Ninube was the first wife of Isawa Ujina. She was kidnapped and consumed by the Lying Darkness becoming Goju Ninube.
Early Life Edit
Doji Ninube was born the only child to Doji Mikara, then daimyo of Ukara Castle. Ninube was born late in Mikara's life. She was said to be skilled in poetry, song, dance and rhetoric. [1]
Appearance Edit
Ninube's beauty was said to have outshone a jealous Sun. [2]
Corruption Edit
Doji Ninube was to spend the winter in the home of her husband to be, Isawa Ujina, before their marriage in the spring, so that she could learn the manner and routines of his household. On the road between the Doji and Isawa lands, her caravan was ambushed by minions of the Lying Darkness, and Ninube was kidnapped. Although a group of Emerald Magistrates were dispatched to find the girl, they too were ambushed and slain by minions of the Shadow. A second rescue was mounted, this time lead by Kitsuki Kaagi, who was accompanied by his eta servant Meilekki and Ujina himself. The group managed to rescue Ninube, but Ujina was badly wounded in the fight. Further, it became clear to Kaagi and Meilekki that Ninube had already succumbed to the corruption of the Lying Darkness, but Ujina refused to listen, and took his bride home. [3] [4]
Death Edit
After the birth of their daughter, Isawa Kaede, Ujina discovered the full extent of Ninube's corruption. She had poisoned Ujina's father, Isawa Nodari. The Master of Void killed the creature that had been Ninube, but was greatly injured before she died. The poison that Ninube used against Ujina eventually caused him to become the Nameless One in an attempt to fight the darkness spreading though his body. [5]

|720 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Ocean front condo with panoramic views from Lanai to Molokai, unobstructed sunset views anytime of year. Private corner unit with wrap around lanai - lots of room to lounge or dine outside. Extra large one bedroom suite with a queen bed, queen sofa sleeper in living room. Bathroom has dressing area with a double sink vanity. Large roomy kitchen for families who enjoy cooking.
Quiet corner of the property - away from parking lot, pool - just the sound of the waves at night. Watch whales right from the lanai during whale season. In-suite washer and dryer, fully-equipped kitchen, air conditioning.
Papakea has the ideal location - right at the north end of Kaanapali beach, private and quiet, but with miles of beach just steps away. Great for those who love swimming, snorkeling, jogging, strolling, or building sand castles! The lush tropical 13 acre grounds and low-rise buildings offer a relaxed island-style ambiance, roomy, yet never crowded. Walking distance to groceries, sundries, coffee shops, and spa. Short drive to shopping, galleries, and world-class dining.
Our beach home has a beautifully updated kitchen with maple cabinets, granite counter tops, and new appliances. We have a glass-top stove set in the kitchen island so that the ocean view can inspire some island-style cooking. The old fluorescent lighting was replaced with natural light and dimmer switches and the new fans have wall-switch speed control so you can create the perfect environment. The living/dining area feature a queen pull-out couch and club chair w/ottoman for ultimate relaxation. The bedroom has new bedding and luxury mattress and an HD tv/dvd.
The only downside is that our condo has become popular for repeat annual visits so it books up early. We think it's perfect for a romantic & relaxing vacation.
Keywords: Condominium
Our family enjoys country living in California, but our hearts belong to Hawaii. We're entranced by Hawaii's amazing topography, lush tropical climate, diverse ocean-life, and especially the warm aloha spirit. We have two boys who fell in love with Maui at ages 2 & 4 building sandcastles and spotting sea turtles - now they prefer boogie boarding & snorkeling. From our honeymoon, to family trips, to our anniversary celebration Maui is magical to us.
The Owner purchased this condo in 2007
After a decade of return trips to Maui we knew our permanent vacation home would be on this island. Maui really is no ka oi. We looked at condos from Napili to Kihei, but didn't see the perfect 'one' until we came to Papakea. We found this resort to be tropical, peaceful, friendly and had several nice condos available. When we saw L301 with it's quiet corner location and 180 degree views we knew this was it - love at first sight!
We love getting up early for a jog down the beach - all the way to Black Rock, or a stroll over to the Farmer's Market for upcountry veggies and tropical fruit. During the day we can watch our kids on the beach from the lanai or play a game of tennis. Evenings are our favorite - we skip the restaurant wait and grill fresh fish by the pool and dine at the ocean-front cabana, getting the best sunset views. The cabana is perfect for families with kids and dining with friends. For a romantic dinner we prefer the private lanai with island music playing in the background. At nightfall we stroll along the torch-lit paths or take a soak in the jacuzzi and plan the next day's adventure.
Many thanks to you for providing such a perfect place to stay while enjoying the sights of Maui. We couldn't have picked a better place. It was everything we hoped for and more. We are telling all of our friends about your condo. We can see it is already booked far into the future. Very telling!
Thanks so much, again, for making our 30th Anniversay celebration the perfect week away!
The condo had everything we needed. The views from the unit doesn't get any better.
Very nice!
My wife and I enjoyed 2 great weeks here. We've been to Maui many times (have a timeshare nearby that was fully booked by the time we tried to reserve). This unit was so nice, and reasonably priced relative to our timeshare, that we're ready to pull the plug on our timeshare. This corner unit has wonderful ocean views. It is well-furnished, with washer-dryer, dishwasher, updated kitchen, and a nice 2-sink bathroom. We were happily surprised to find the kitchen stocked with spices, cooking oil, etc. which isn't the case at our timeshare. Papakea has free yoga classes, swimmercize, lei-making, mai-tai party, etc. - and we partook of many of them. Definitely would recommend for someone seeking a 1 BR unit in a great location right on the ocean. The owners were helpful, and particularly when we needed to tweak our arrival date at the last minute.
Loved this condo!! All up graded! Ocean front insanely beautiful! Had a fantastic time!
This was a great spot for us - well decorated and obviously well cared for. We saw whales from the lanai almost every day, and the sunsets were breathtaking. We look for quiet and tasteful; this was both.
This lovely corner condo is comfortable for a couple wanting a quiet escape. The owners have thought through every detail, so you will need nothing to use the facilities, prepare meals, and just relax in this wonderful setting.
We loved the view, location, and the condo. It felt like home.

When you advertise a condom brand, the most obvious product benefits there are to communicate are good sex and safety. Naturally this is a rich realm for a creative agency – we all have associations with good sex – without getting pregnant.
When you call your condom brand SKYN, however, the message becomes more specific; apparently this brand makes your sex not just good, but also feel condomless. And when, on top of this, you want to establish your brand "as an active lifestyle choice" of a generation "for whom sexuality is not a taboo, but a celebration of their individuality" you end up with these sophisticated print ads.
As if you're buying a Philippe Patek for another part of your body – "you never wear it for the next generation, merely for the one occasion." The real copy is: [woman:] "I like red lipstick. Black coffee. And men I can't fix." [man:] "I like choosing books by their cover. And eating in bed. I like girls who are out of my league." Pay off: "I like to feel everything".

8 Things You Need To Know About Microsoft Windows 10
Microsoft's Windows 10 represents the first step of a whole new generation of Windows. The latest iteration of the world's most popular operating system will run across an incredibly broad set of devices – from the Internet of Things, to servers in enterprise data centres worldwide.
Some of these devices have 4-inch screens – some have 80-inch screens – and some don't have screens at all. Some of these devices you hold in your hand, others are ten feet away. Some of these devices you primarily use touch/pen, others mouse/keyboard, others controller/gesture – and some devices can switch between input types. Here are 8 key features you need to know:
1. Number Jump
Microsoft has now announced its new version of Windows, surprisingly called 'Windows 10' – not Windows 9. This is because Microsoft claims it's such a significant leap over Windows 8 – that calling it Windows 9 wouldn't do it justice.
2. Pricing & Availability
Windows 10 may be given away free to upgraders or involve a nominal fee and is now available only to advanced users and developers. An official release will follow 'later in 2015, which suggests the operating system (OS) is not as far along as many expected and Microsoft wants to develop it in conjunction with user feedback.
3. A Single, Cross Platform OS
Architecturally, the biggest news is that Windows 10 is being designed to run across all devices – desktops, laptops, tablets, phablets and smart phones etc and promises a tailored experience for each device. To elaborate, Microsoft state that there will be one way to write a universal application, to store stuff and for apps to be discovered purchased and updated – across all of these devices. Microsoft has also confirmed 'Windows 10′ will be the next major version of Windows Phone. However, what devices get the upgrade and how Microsoft will handle it remains to be seen.
4. Start Menu Comeback
The start menu will return and combine both aspects of the classic Windows 7 start menu with apps from the Metro/Modern UI. Searching within the start menu will now perform a web search too. Importantly, its layout can be customised so apps can be removed or resized – offering real flexibility and personalisation potential.
5. Streamlined Touch/Keyboard/Mouse
Microsoft has responded to criticism about the hassle of moving between touch, the keyboard and mouse elements of Windows 8. Microsoft's new approach, called 'Continuum,' will ensure a better union between to different input methods. Continuum will enable automatic switching between modes by detecting how users interact with their device. It also carries over aspects like the new start menu and windowed apps within the desktop.
6. Virtual Desktops
The virtual desktops feature will work like the multiple desktops on Linux and Exposé on Mac OS X. The view can be triggered with a new 'task view' button which allows users to both launch a new, virtual desktop and jump between them. Interestingly the taskbar can be customised to look different/relevant to each desktop – enabling a simple leap from work to home modes. Microsoft state that all open programs in the virtual desktops will continue to run in the background, which may create some interesting memory management challenges, but also greatly increases the potential productivity of Windows – as well as de-cluttering the desktop space.
7. Still In The Dark
There is still no firm news on pricing and release time. Microsoft also hasn't revealed performance information such as – install size and minimum hardware requirements. No details have yet emerged on Cortana integration (the voice assistant in Windows Phone 8.1), or any insight on how Windows 10 will handle scaling on high resolution screens. This bit is really important as 4k monitors and super high resolution laptops are quickly gaining momentum.
8. Great Potential & Humble Pie
There is however a positive feeling about the new OS and Microsoft's new direction in general. The company was probably hurt by the mixed reaction to Windows 8 and with Windows 10 will try and mix the best aspects of Windows 7 and Windows 8 into a more user-friendly experience. The proof of the pudding is that Microsoft is now releasing initial builds, swift updates and developing in parallel with user feedback.

text: MWC 2013: Nokia Siemens Networks Smart Wi-Fi aims to make mobile integration seamless 21 Feb 2013 04:39 PM Traffic steering capabilities create HetNet, give operators greater control over customer experience by seamlessly integrating Wi-Fi and cellular networksNokia Siemens Networks(NSN) is launching Smart Wi-Fi to seamlessly integrate wireless local area networks (WLAN) with cellular, mobile networks. NSN's Smart Wi-Fi comprises four elements that combine operator-controlled Wi-Fi and cellular services into a Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) with traffic steering capabilities. This allows operators to select the best wireless access technology to deliver a secure, convenient mobile broadband experience for customers. The four elements of Nokia Siemens Networks Smart Wi-Fi are Smart Wi-Fi Connect, Smart Wi-Fi Converge, Smart Wi-Fi Optimize and Smart Wi-Fi Personalize. Smart Wi-Fi Connect allows operators to plan and deploy their own Wi-Fi networks. The solution element includes high-performance access points and gateways for operators who are deploying their own Wi-Fi networks. In addition, the company provides the service capabilities to analyze, plan, deploy, integrate and optimize the operator's own or partner Wi-Fi networks. Smart Wi-Fi Converge enables operators to integrate Wi-Fi networks into their core network and provide device provisioning for seamless subscriber access to Wi-Fi. This element includes device management and subscriber authentication for provisioning Wi-Fi, as well as approaches to managing security, billing and policy control and the tools to deliver cellular services over Wi-Fi. Smart Wi-Fi Optimize introduces Wi-Fi traffic steering capabilities based on Wi-Fi traffic loading. Operators are able to decide based on the traffic level when to steer subscribers between Wi-Fi and cellular to ensure that subscribers are always using the most suitable network layer to provide optimum performance. Traffic steering gives operators more predictability over the Wi-Fi experience and helps maximize their HetNet assets to boost subscriber satisfaction. Smart Wi-Fi Personalize includes the recently introduced Customer Experience Management (CEM) on Demand for Wi-Fi. CEM on Demand gives operators subscriber level visibility and allows them to target subscriber segments to provide promotional Wi-Fi sign-up campaigns and/or automatic Wi-Fi provisioning. Randy Cox, head of Small Cell Product Management, Nokia Siemens Networks, said: 'With our Smart Wi-Fi, mobile operators can integrate and control Wi-Fi networks to deliver a cellular-like experience on Wi-Fi as part of a broader HetNet. 'Smart Wi-Fi combines our global experience in delivering access networks, integrating Wi-Fi with core networks, our leadership in Customer Experience Management and our solutions for provisioning devices over-the-air. Smart Wi-Fi can be integrated with the award-winning Flexi Zone solution to control the Wi-Fi layer. This is all supported by our Services for HetNets for complete lifecycle support from hotspot analysis and planning to deployment, optimization and care,' said Cox.The Nokia Siemens Networks Solution Experience Center is in Hall 3, 3B14, at Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona.Wireless magazineLeave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on...

Gurgaon: A six-month-old girl, who was abducted from here for being sacrificed, was rescued from Delhi, police said Monday.
The infant was abducted Saturday from her house near Pataudi Chowk.
"The minor was kidnapped by a 35-year-old man who planned to sacrifice her during the upcoming 'Navratras'," a senior police officer told IANS.
Accused Bablu, who is based in Delhi, is a labourer who often visited Gurgaon for work. He is yet to be arrested.
The victim's father is also a labourer and is known to the accused.
"A 'tantric' had advised Bablu to sacrifice a baby to remove hurdles in his getting married," police said.
The baby was rescued from a slum area in Delhi in a joint operation by the Haryana and Delhi Police.
"We are conducting raids to arrest the accused and the 'tantric'," police added.

In a speech today in front of 50,000 Basij, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei addressed a wide range of issues, including Israel's position in the region and with European countries, the policy of the United States — which he called the "leader of the arrogance" — and the nuclear negotiations
Based on an early transcript from Fars News, on the nuclear negotiations, Ayatollah Khamenei said, "On the one hand, I insist that the current officials in the negotiations be supported. They need help, and I, too, help them. On the other hand, I insist that they do not retreat one step from the nuclear rights of the nation — the red lines must be observed." The supreme leader has the final say in the nuclear program; however, he has not publicly stated what the red lines are. In previous statements he has also publicly supported the nuclear negotiators and warned others to support them as well, despite saying he was not optimistic about them. Continue reading
