text:
Reminiscent of Franz Kafka's "Metamorphosis," Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, and J. D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, William Nicholson's Society of Others is an existentialist parable about a nameless man's wayward journey of self-discovery in a dangerous and repressive shadow land.
After recently graduating from college, the cynical and dysfunctional narrator -- a young Brit living with his divorced mother -- has been intently not looking for a job. With a decidedly distorted outlook on life, he decides that there is no reason ever to leave the confines of his small bedroom. ("Love is a mechanism to propagate the species. Beauty is a trick that fades. Friendship is an arrangement of mutual advantage. Goodness is not rewarded, and evil is not punished. Religion is superstition. Death is annihilation. And as for God, if he exists at all he stopped carrying for humankind centuries ago. Wouldn't you? So why leave my room?")
But when persistent pressure from family members -- and an epiphany provided by a pigeon at his bedroom window! -- lead him out into the world, the narrator begins an extraordinary transformation not unlike that of Kafka's ill-fated Gregor Samsa. After hitching a ride with a truck driver secretly hauling banned literature into Eastern Europe, the narrator barely escapes with his life after military police stop the truck, torture and kill the driver, and burn all the books. Tagged a terrorist by the government, the narrator contemplates the intricate nature of his own existence as he desperately tries to stay alive…
Readers who enjoy stories that are as entertaining as they are edifying should definitely seek out this novel -- a philosophical masterwork. Paul Goat Allen
From Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers
Readers will feel no guilt, only pleasure, as they race through Nicholson's genre-bending philosophical thriller, a brilliant first novel from the screenwriter of Shadowlands and Gladiator. It's daring and original, reminiscent of an existential fable Dostoevsky might have written if he'd been addicted to CNN and action films.
The anonymous English narrator could be any 20-something slacker in the Western world, until he unwittingly hitches a ride into an unnamed eastern European country. After the authorities torture and kill his driver -- for smuggling in a truckload of books, no less -- the narrator embarks on a violent odyssey through a dark police state. He becomes entangled with terrorists who thrust a gun into his hand, lives underground with kindly peasants after he's nearly killed, and encounters the Society of Others, a literary resistance of philosophers and teachers who seem to have been expecting him. Along his journey, the once-jaded narrator converses with his various companions (and enemies, too) about the ultimate meaning of life, a subject that comes sharply into focus with his life in constant danger.
The Society of Others is ambitious, pithy, and resonant. This debut novel shoots for the moon and hits it dead-on with its clarity of vision and gutsy themes. Bravo, William Nicholson. (Spring 2005 Selection)

Just because Facebook and Twitter aren't driving you a ton of sales doesn't mean you shouldn't leverage them. Why? Because both Google and Bing use data from social sites in order to determine how high to rank your website.
For example, Moz started to rank on Google for "Beginner's Guide" after Smashing Magazine tweeted out Moz's guide. And Shrushti increased its rankings from page 400 to page 1 due to social media.
To show you how social media impacts your search rankings, Neil Patel decided to create a gifographic (animated infographic) that explains the correlation.
Click on the image below to see a larger view:

Whether you love or hate social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, you have no choice but to use them. Social sites, especially Google Plus, impact your search engine rankings.
Just look at the data in the gifographic above. As you can see, when one of the sites got a hundred Google Plus followers, its rankings jumped by 14.63%. That's a huge lift.
If you wanted to increase your rankings, but you don't have time to leverage all of the social sites, spend your time on Google Plus as the data shows it impacts rankings more than Twitter and Facebook.

The main characteristics in making a good interface for a Free Software project are most of the time the same as any other interface.
The widgets Edit
However, there are some differences. One of them is that it is recommended to use free widgets and widgets that are more popular and can compile on various platforms (including Microsoft's operating system). If the main platform of your application is Linux, then i recommended you stay with GTK+ or QT only in most situations. WX-Widgets and TK are other solutions, but they are not as popular as GTK+ and QT.
If you want your application to be even more easy to use, then just choose the widget that best fits your desktop:
- QT for KDE
- GTK+ for GNOME, XFCE and many other
- FLTK for Enlightenment Desktop
- TK for little programs written in TLC/Python/Perl that must run on all platforms without having a big size.
- WX-Widgets if your main platform is Windows, but GTK+ should work just as fine under Windows (you can optionally include the hole library into your program, about 4 more than with WX-Widgets but you will have the Windows skin or any other)
For more details see Guide to free widget libraries.
Desktop compatibility Edit
Please test your application to work on various Desktops. Not only on KDE and GNOME, but also in more exotic environments like Enlightenment and Window maker.
A good practice is to test it on a ion3 desktop. Actually, many bad-written applications do not display well on ion3.
Usability Edit
There are some specific standards for free software projects. Both KDE and GNOME try to follow this standards:
- freedesktop
- tango-project created by SUSE Linux (Novel).
- better desktop created by OpenSuse.From HowTo Wiki, a Wikia wiki.

Installing Raspbmcsusessfully
Posted by Luis Gallardo in Debian, Linux, Rasberry Pi on 13/09/2013
A friend recommended me this distro for running XBMC which was released by one of the developers of the XBMC project with specific optimizations to run on the Rasberry's hardware. So I decided to test it and I explain here all have to do to install it, that indeed was a little problematic but successfully at the end.
Raspbmc from the installer
The project's page recommends to use the installer or Network Image, a python script which practically do the whole installing process, partitioning and doing the initial setup…or at least it tried to, because in my case it didn't work due to my network connection at home didn't help at all so I couldn't download the image using the installer. Therefore I had to install the complete image of Raspbmc.
The complete image of Raspbmc
There's another option offered on the project's page which is to download the whole image of Raspbmc of 235 MB called Standalone Image, but after extract it it sizes 1.4 GB roughly. This was an issue because my SD card's capacity is 1 GB and I didn't buy another one as I have a 320 GB hard drive just for the Rasberry Pi. Therefore I came up that I could shrink the image to fix my 1 GB SD card.
Repartitioning the image
In a similar way as explained in How to run Raspberry Pi from a USB hard drive article, I dumped the image into a 8 GB pen drive to be able to extract the /boot and the operating system or system file's root partition. In order to copy the image to the pen drive you must first extract the image and later extract the image and the dump it as raw, as shown next:
# gunzip raspbmc-final.img.gz# dd if=raspbmc-final.img of=/dev/sdb
If you check it with gparted you should see something like this:
Later using gparted itself I had to resize the partition /dev/sdb2 to 800 MB roughly, so I could put the /boot de 74 MB as well in my 1 GB SD card.
To extract the /boot partition from the pen drive you can do this:
# dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=raspbmc-final_boot.img
In a similar way extract the file system of 800 MB on the another partition:
# dd if=/dev/sdb2 of=raspbmc-final_fsext4.img
Initial setting
The initial setting it's done by the installer, which is an script that ask some questions as networking parameters and such. Those values can be modifies later on XBMC with an script added for the Raspbmc:
Disk repartitioning
The installation detected the hard drive automatically but it didn't let me partition it, in fact it erases everything and creates a unique partition which is mounted into /media withe the partition's UUID . But I wanted three partitions: one for the operating system (/), other for the memory swapping (swap) and the remaining space for data (/media/Toshiba320), and the /boot partition which must be in the SD card.
To partion the hard drive I deleted and created the partitions using fdisk. At the end the disk was distributed in this way:
Then I edited the /etc/fstab to reflect the changes:
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 #/dev/sda2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0 UUID=e7db90716-9911-4fc8-95da-86c463f926a4 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0 UUID=70a55bca-9fdb-4073-87f6-c15fd7b351dc none swap sw 0 0 UUID=1ff934a3-f7ce-451f-9a07-0915e174a007 /media/Toshiba320 ext4 defaults 0 0 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults,noatime 0 0
And later I edited the file /boot/cmdline.txt to indicate that the operating system will be read from the hard drive instead of the SD card:
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 root=/dev/sda1 rootfstype=ext4 noatime quiet rootwait loglevel=1 persistent-logs sdhci-bcm2708.enable_llm=1 dwc_otg.microframe_schedule=1 dwc_otg.fiq_fix_enable=1
Disabling the Firewall
To disable the firewall that comes with a DROP rule by default on the Raspbmc, you have to edit the file /etc/network/if-up.d/secure-rmc, where you have to comment the following line:
iptables -A INPUT -i $IFACE -j DROP
You also can disable the firewall form the setting script of XBMC as show next:
Remote control
I have a keyboard and a mouse connected to the Rasberry Pi but this is not practical, the ideal scenario is to have a remote. As the Rasberry Pi is connected to the WiFI the idea is to use this network instead of IR or Bluetooh. Therefore I thought in an Android application and mi first choice was XBMC Remote but it seems it has some communication issues that makes XBMC goes crazy ( The Raspbmc version and other for Raspbian behaves the same), but at the end I used another application called Yatse which works properly and it looks better as you can see in the next screenshots I took from my phone:
Comparing XBMC I had tried before on the Rasberry Pi, this version really runs well. It plays movies in several formats (.avi, .mkv, .mp4, etc) smoothly. On the other hand it has Linux inside so it's my download center with qbittorrent-nox, and I use it for other testing purposes. And this is what XBMC reports as resources consumption:
- [SOLVED] Blocked tcp/udp incoming connections after final release? (iptables)
- How can I disable raspbmc's firewall via SSH?
- http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/start.html
Where to put my Rasberry Pi?
Posted by Luis Gallardo in Linux, Rasberry Pi on 15/04/2013
Due to I wanted to use my Rasberry Pi as a media center but I didn't want to put lot of devices on my nightstand I came up with this idea. My Rasberry, a hard drive and a usb hub look like corronchos (loricariidaes) but they are behind the TV.
If you want to do something similar you can use stickers for holding photo frames (Command, Scoth, 3M, etc), and this way you can save some space and avoid to deal with a lot of devices on your room.
Installing SubDownloader on Raspberry Pi
Posted by Luis Gallardo in Debian, Linux, Rasberry Pi on 10/04/2013
I've already install XBMC as my media center and also qbittorrent Web as my "download" center. But one piece was missing: a subtitle downloader program. I knew about subdownloader, so I decide to give it a try on my Rasberry Pi but it is not on Raspbian repos…what can you do?
Easy, just add Debian's official repos for Sid and install it. Remember, Debian supports lot of architecture, even armhf. Let's see how to do it…
- Edit file /etc/apt/sources.list to include sid's repos:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
- Update the package list:
aptitude update
- Install SubDonwloader:
aptitude install subdownloader
- Edit file /etc/apt/sources.list to delete sid's repos (it's enough by commenting the line with #):
#deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
- Update the package list one more time:
aptitude update
Now you can run the program on your Rasberry Pi locally or using ssh…but keep in mind it would run a little slow. Enjoy it!

It ain't easy bein' green -- especially if you're a likable (albeit smelly) ogre named Shrek (Mike Myers). On a mission to retrieve a gorgeous princess (Cameron Diaz) from the clutches of a fire-breathing dragon, Shrek teams up with an unlikely compatriot -- a wisecracking donkey (Eddie Murphy). This is the widescreen version of the film and includes a commentary, technical goofs, a storyboard pitch of deleted scenes and more.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers High Grass Dogs Live from the Fillmore: If your ideal concert experience depends on flashpots, lasers, and fabulous costumes, turn back now. On the other hand, if youre looking for no-frills, straight-ahead rock & roll played with good humor and passion, youve come to the right place. Filmed in March 99 at San Franciscos legendary Fillmore and seen here in letterbox format with great sound, High Grass Dogs finds Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers in fine form, charging through a series of tunes from the guitarist-singer-songwriters first album (Breakdown) to his latest (four tunes from Echo). Pettys core musicians (guitarist Mike Campbell, bassist Howie Epstein, and keyboardist Benmont Tench) have been together for so long that their onstage communication is almost telepathic; the emphasis is always on dynamics and interplay instead of bombast. There may not be any surprises here, with the possible exception of an appearance by Bo Diddley on his own Mona, but thats a good thing. Indeed, the only mystery may be where Petty came up with that weird title ..........................Songs Include: Intro/California, Jammin Me, Runnin Down a Dream, Swingin, Breakdown, Listen to Her Heart, You Dont Know How It Feels, Mary Janes Last Dance, Mona/Bo Diddley, Lay Down My Old Guitar, Even the Losers, Walls, Angel Dream, Room at the Top, County Farm, You Wreck Me, I Dont Wanna Fight, Free Fallin, Free Girl Now.

There is nothing greater than service to humanity by feeding bread to the hungry. As Jat protesters burn the state of Haryana, Sikhs from various different localities are taking it upon themselves to feed thousands of stranded people on the Major and nonmajor highways of Haryana.
Gurdwaras are once again stepping up to the challenge by providing langar and refuge to thousands of people. The Sikh community gained widespread acknowledgment for their service in some of the most dangerous places on earth such as Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Haiti, Bosnia, and other places.
The Jat community has been on a rampage to destroy property throughout the state in protest of demanding reservation. They Jat community blocked major roads, caused havoc, and burnt some of the highest employment businesses.
The Sikh community is composed of only 1.5% of the Indian population yet they feed millions all over the world through langar and provide relief to some of the worst disaster struck places. The Sikh community is the only community in India which will never demand reservation as they are taught to work hard for their living and not demand any short cuts.

Talk:Power Macintosh G3 beige
|Skip to table of contents
|This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Power Macintosh G3 beige article.
This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
Article policies
|WikiProject Apple Inc.
|(Rated Start-class, Mid-importance)
It is stated that the Beige G3 Mac takes 66MHz RAM. I'm rather dubious of this, because some sites (e.g. this one) states it uses 100MHz RAM. Also, I have a pair of PC133s in my own Beige G3 Mimitower along with a PC100 bar, and they work fine. -- RAMChYLD 15:30, 15 Apr 2005
- Isn't faster RAM backwards-compatible with slower clock speeds? (e.g. I'm pretty sure I've got some 133 Mhz RAM in a x86 100 MHz motherboard, and it seems to work fine). I've always assumed that if the RAM is the same speed as the motherboard, or faster, that it'll work OK. -- All the best, Nickj (t) 05:42, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, I understand that most modern RAM is backwards compatible with older specifications (which is why I was daring enough to put in 133MHz RAM into mine). Was just a little confused because some websites (like the one in the link) claims that the Beige G3 runs on 100MHz RAM and not 66MHz. -- RAMChYLD 14:57, 24 Apr 2005
Here are the specs from Apple. [1] Says that they use 100 MHz RAM, although they have a 66 MHz bus. AlistairMcMillan 13:17, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
Hint: you should mention about OldWorld and NewWorld differencies.
- Of course they are backwards compatable ;-)
Yes, the computer can use up to PC133, but it will always run at 66MHz (actually, in the G3's case, 66.83Mhz), unless you overclock it. The original Beige G3s (even the last ones produced) shipped with 10ns PC66 CL2 SDRAM. Angelic Wraith
- Fixing this. jhf 18:59, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Adding reference to copper technology?[edit]
I noticed that there is a link to the copper metal wiki but could someone please add a reference to the how copper is used in the G3 processors manufactured by IBM? mattabat
Explain to me what you mean. You need help explaining it, or you don't know how to link a page you wish to? Dan 00:35, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
I don't know *of* a page to link to. mattabat
- You're looking for Copper-based chips (I already linked there). -- grm_wnr Esc 11:35, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Images and splitting[edit]
Okay, Angelic Wraith, any particular reason to throw out two images ([2])? -- grm_wnr Esc 23:34, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Yep. As it was, they took up too much space, and we didn't need them if we already had the new images there. I also feel it's somewhat strange to have a picture of a B&W G3 at the top, when the Beige was the first one anyway... and is directly followed by text on it. Dan 01:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- I think an article should have a lead image, and I don't think a side view of the B&W G3 (with the large lettering) was unreasonable. Having pictures of all three case styles for the beige G3 is relevant as well (couldn't find an AIO G3 yet). However, I'm thinking of splitting the article anyway, since the two have little to do with each other apart from the CPU. Any thoughts on this? -- grm_wnr Esc 01:45, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Well, that's the problem. They have a great deal to do with each other; initially when I came upon the article, I was wondering why on Earth they were grouped together... of course, it became rather apparent that it would be tough to do it otherwise. They're both "Power Macintosh G3s". Sure, one is the Beige and one is the B&W, but PowerMac G4 and PowerMac G5 both bring up the same, uniform thing, by and large.
I think what is "tricking" us into thinking that they should have separate pages is the enormous aesthetic difference; after all, compare the original "Graphite" Power Macintosh G4 (Yikes! based, preferably), to the last iteration of the G4... the Mirrored-Drive Doors model. If you look at the iMac and iBook pages, they're also all grouped together.
Plus, what would we call the page? It would be sort of hard to do it and allow people to immediately get the page they want.
If we can figure something out, that'd be great, but if not, it should stay.
Btw, I really don't think we should add any more pictures, just because it starts to make the page unwieldy, as well as increases load times for dial-up users Dan 04:54, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- Standard disambiguation rules say that the two pages should be called Power Macintosh G3 (Beige) and Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White). Note that this page does not even have full tech specs yet, if we add them, the page will soon become unwieldy. These are really radically different machines on the inside, and the Power Mac G4s are more closely related to the G3 than the beige is to the B&W, New World ROM and all (especially the aforementioned Yikes!, which is a B&W with a different CPU). They just happen to use the same CPU, which gives them the same name, but that's no compelling reason these must share an article. Not surprisingly I would advocate splitting the other articles too once they get enough content (Power Macintosh G4, in particular, is still much too short for a split, but iMac and iBook look promising).
- As for the images, I guess the B&W side view isn't really needed, and I'll leave out the G3 minitower until I find a better (larger) picture that really shows what the tower looks like. Deal? -- grm_wnr Esc 09:25, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- P.S.: An interesting metric when considering a split is whether incoming links to this combined page actually mean both or only one of the models. My count is 2 (both) / 8 (one) / 3 (unknown, could be one way or the other). I didn't count links coming from the "Post-1998 Apple products" template (which would logically only link the B&W). Now, someone counting differently (and with a different bias) will get slightly different results, but is clear that the ratio is heavily in favor of one of the two models, suggesting that the split would make sense. -- grm_wnr Esc 11:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- P.P.S.: Actually, what I wrote above is not strictly correct, there are two options for disambiguation:
- Keep the beige G3 on this page (with a top disambiguation notice), and just create Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White)
- Create both Power Macintosh G3 (Beige) and Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White), leaving this page as a pure disambiguation page
- I prefer the latter (with a bit more explanation than the usual disambiguation page), though I'm not passionate about it. -- grm_wnr Esc 11:45, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- I actually quite like the idea of two different pages, but like I said it might be a bit annoying for people to type in "Power Mac G3" and get two pages. I think, though, that the page names you listed are definitely the right ones to choose. And you're right, they're in many ways different computers (similar in more ways than you might think, though, they both used iterations of the Grackle chip), and their CPUs were actually different. Both G3s, sure, and obviously they ran at different bus speeds (66 vs. 100MHz), but they were based upon different manufacturing processes... but then, you probably knew that. The New World ROM, IMO, was a dumb idea, since large ROMs are cools :P ...lol. anyway >_>
Yep.. the PCI-based G4 was a B&W G3 with a PPC7400 chip, and the ADB port hacked off. Specs... that'll be incredibly easy. We can add all the stuff that no one cares about too... Heathrow, Grackle, CUDA, SWIM 3, MESH, etc.
I would also really like to see (and hey, help with) the iMacs being split up too. Maybe since they're so diverse (so many different revisions), "iMac" should still direct to iMac, and then there could be separate links for each different one... obviously Rev. A and B should be grouped together since they're basically the same thing... Dan 21:45, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
- I've gone ahead and made the split now - it's easily reverted, if somebody doesn't like it at all. The new page (Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White)) can be moved to a better name if anyone can think of one, without much hassle (only one redirect points to it). -- grm_wnr Esc 16:31, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- I like it. I did swap pictures (minitower with dt for the template), but they're both still on the page. As for the B&W page, I linked a few thinks which previously hadn't been linked because they were already on the page when it was one article. And I screwed one of the links up. :) Dan 21:42, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
I feel it's pointless to include Gibibits for several reasons.. though, mainly because it's just sort of ridiculous. And all that ;nbsp just sort of makes things confusing. Angelic Wraith 18:37, 16 March 2006
- My argument is based on Wikipedia guidelines (WP:MOSNUM). Putting nbsp between the value and the unit is unambiguously specified by WP:MOSNUM. Using binary multipliers is specifically recommended. Indeed, there is a specific guideline that revisions to binary multipliers should be accepted where the value is a binary-based value. I believe that in this case there is no reason to go outside the Wikipedia guidelines. If you don't like the guidelines, you are free to contribute and work towards having them revised. Duckbill 19:42, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Umm... I'm not sure what you're asking for. "Binary Prefixes?" That's just what we have, isn't it? 228 512 byte blocks is just that, right?
As for the nbsp... I haven't the slightest idea what the reasoning behind that is, but it makes it harder for people who actually do edit this article, not the people who come by and put "nbsp" in everywhere. Believe me, if I had any idea how to combat this, I would work to get the spaces removed altogether... "333 MHz" and "768 MB" looks incredibly stupid.
If this sort of thing continues, I'm just going to stop editing any page that has anything to do with computers altogether, and remove anything I've added, which is considerable, whether it's considered vandalism or not. Dan 21:15, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- Dear Angelic Wraith, I am pleased that you are enuthusiastic on having this article be the best it can be. I had a sniff around and had a read on the articles Wikipedia:Assume good faith, Wikipedia:No angry mastodons, and Wikipedia:Resolving disputes, and found them to be helpful for me.
I have been working on the assumption that Wikipedia guidelines outweigh individual opinions. Do you think that idea makes sense, and if so do you think it might apply here? Duckbill 22:29, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
You wrote As for the nbsp... I haven't the slightest idea what the reasoning behind that is. I believe the reasoning for that is a consensus has been reached that numbers with units are best with a space between the value and the unit, and that a consistent style is better than having each individual contributor use their own style. Also, I believe that it has been felt that breaking the line between the value and the unit looks sufficiently bad that a non-breaking space should be used to keep them together, even if this makes the wiki markup marginally less easy to follow.
You wrote Believe me, if I had any idea how to combat this, I would work to get the spaces removed altogether... "333 MHz" and "768 MB" looks incredibly stupid. If you wish to 'combat this', you could start a discussion thread on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers). Whilst I would wish you every success, I would not be wanting to place a wager that the guidelines would be changed as a result.
You wrote I'm not sure what you're asking for. "Binary Prefixes?". The size limit for LBA(28) addressing is a function of the size of the LBA address space (which is a function of the representation of the LBA as a 28-bit value, resulting in an address space of 228 blocks) and the size of a hard disk block (512 or 29 bytes). This results in a total size of 228 × 29 bytes or 228+9 bytes or 237 bytes. So everything in the derivation of this value was a power of two. As a result, this is a prime candidate for representation using one of the binary multiplier prefixes. The appropriate prefix is the one equivalent to 230 which is gigabinary. So we end up with 27 or 128 as the value before the prefixed unit, resulting in a representation of 128 GiB.
Conventionally, the resultant figure is more familiarly known by an approximation using the power-of-ten multipliers, 137 gigabytes. So it's appropriate to mention that value as the main value. If we are to allude to a power-of-two significance by using an alternative representation, we can just use the compact form 128 GiB. If the reader is in any doubt as to what GiB means, then they can just follow the link which will either be there, or it will have been linked earlier in the article.
The issue has already been discussed at length, consensus has been reached, and the result is embodied Wikipedia guidelines. There is little to be gained by individuals flying in the face of the guidelines in individual articles. If there is a weight of opinion against the guidelines, this should result in a change of consensus, and a change in the guidelines.
Mentioning the 128 GiB is probably superfluous. Hard disks are normally measured in gigabytes. This isn't an article about the 28-bit-LBA limitation. We can write the whole thing more succintly and avoid gibibytes altogether. Duckbill 23:41, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for responding candidly and cordially. That's more than I can say for myself- at least the cordial part :)
No, you're right, as a rule the guidelines usually outweigh personal opinion. It's just that I can't see any reasoning behind them whatsoever, and I feel that following rules for their own sake isn't necessarily the thing to do, especially if it irritates some people (let's just use the name "Dan"), and in no way increases (or even decreases) the effectiveness of the page.
When I look at a webpage and it says something along the lines of "The Power Mac G3 was introduced at 233, 266 and 300 MHz," I almost immediately leave, because it looks like it was written by someone who doesn't know what they're talking about; it's sort of like reading an essay full of spelling and grammar errors, and by grammar I mean not only the stuff you normally see, but misused tenses and plurals. It just irritates me; it comes across as ignorance, and on pages I've been working on for months, it greatly annoys me. Especially when I used to get issues of MacWorld and read up about Apple's new computers (I was what, twelve at the time when G3s were new?).
"The 300 MHz model shipped with 1 MiB L2 Cache" makes me want to rip my hair out. Why on earth are there discussions about Apple's own Manual of Style... regarding things like possessiveness (you shouldn't write "G3's"), when we go against the very way they present their products? MiB is also very likely to confuse anyone not used to Wikipedia articles... I've been reading about computers for years, and I never once stumbled across "MiB." At least a byte is by itself, and there's no BiB :P
You wrote I believe the reasoning for that is a consensus has been reached that numbers with units are best with a space between them, and that a consistent style is better than having each individual contributor use their own style.
That's not reasoning, that's an opinion for which I have yet to see any substantiation. I asked why it's considered better.
Also, I believe that it has been felt that breaking the line between the value and the unit looks sufficiently bad that a non-breaking space should be used to keep them together, even if this makes the wiki markup marginally less easy to follow.
You lost me with this.
The size limit for LBA(28) addressing is a function of the size of the LBA address space (which is a function of the representation of the LBA as a 28-bit value, resulting in an address space of 228 blocks) and the size of a hard disk block (512 or 29 bytes). This results in a total size of 228 × 29 bytes or 228+9 bytes or 237 bytes. So everything in the derivation of this value was a power of two. As a result, this is a prime candidate for representation using one of the binary multiplier prefixes. The appropriate prefix is the one equivalent to 230 which is gigabinary. So we end up with 27 or 128 as the value before the prefixed unit, resulting in a representation of 128 GiB.
Here I'm completely lost. I don't mean to be rude, but this seems really circuitious and tautalogical, to the point where I'm just not understanding you.
Mentioning the 128 GiB is probably superfluous. Hard disks are normally measured in gigabytes. This isn't an article about the 28-bit-LBA limitation. We can write the whole thing more succinctly and avoid gibibytes altogether.
I would normally agree with you, except there is no such thing as either a 128GB or 137GB HDD. Maybe you're right, though.
Anyway, as it is, I don't see the need to change the units. If on a personal level you don't care, then why bother? Dan 00:21, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
USB 1.1 full-speed data rate[edit]
The article was giving the USB 1.1 full-speed data rate in both Mbit/s and MB/s (12 and 1.5).
Really we only need to say that it is a USB 1.1 port, and quickly, as an aid to memory mention what the data rate was, in the way that it is usually specified, which is 12 Mbit/s. Supplying a conversion of 1.5 MB/s is a bit over-the-top here. Confusingly, it's also the same number as the bit rate for low-speed USB, which the port would also have supported, but which doesn't get a mention. Duckbill 23:51, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
USB 1.1 is low-speed USB. What are you talking about? >_< I'm having trouble understanding what you're trying to say... especially in the first sentence. Anyway, the reason I put both, is because USB (and FireWire) is always advertised in Mbps, whereas everthing else (ATA, SATA, SCSI) is advertised in MBps. A lot of people see "12Mbps" and think it's 12MBps. Ok? I mean, think about it. Even if they do know that a bit is one eighth of a bite, they shouldn't have to do the conversion in their heads- sure it's easy for us, but a lot of people have trouble with it. Dan 00:00, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
No, USB 1.1 is a serial bus standard encompassing two data rates:
- Full speed - 12 Mbit/s
- Low speed - 1.5 Mbit/s
"Full speed" is 12 Mbit/s.
On your second point re confusion of Mbit/s and MB/s, that is precisely why the recommended terms are Mbit/s and MB/s. The term "Mbit/s" (which is what I wrote in the article) includes the entire word "bit", and as such means that it cannot feasbly be confused with a bytes (or if it is, the reader is having serious comprehension problems, in which case all bets are off anyway). Duckbill 00:12, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Notice Mbps and MBps [3] Note no space between any units and numbers on Apple's page. [4]. Dan 00:27, 17 March 2006
That's fine. Those are Apple documents on Apple's web site. Apple are perfectly at liberty to use whatever style they see fit. But we are not reporting text verbatim. We are reporting the information accurately, and in Wikipedia that information should be represented according to Wikipedia guidelines. So Apple may well write "2.5GHz", but in Wikipedia that quantity is represented as "2.5 GHz" (2.5 GHz). Duckbill 18:06, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
This same discussion took place on Apple Macintosh. I was thinking about it today and look at this reasoning for the space. 1) Which looks correct to you: 1MB or 1 MB, 1foot 1 foot. It is a unit of measure, numbers and their unit should be separated because it looks better IMO, much easier to do mathmatical calculations with the space, and the manual of style has it this way. This is wikipedia, guidelines have been constructed over the years and you have to respect that. Removing anything you have added from wikipedia is vandalism as well, since it's not yours, clicking save means "You agree to license your contributions under the GFDL". Why do you need to keep fighting this fight? Mike (T C) 06:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Well, I suppose it's a "fight" on both sides if you "fight back." Anyway. . . I'm not really sure why you feel it's "easier for calculations"... it almost makes it harder for me... but it's not much of a point. As for "1MB" and "1foot".. I would write it as "1MB," (or 1 megabyte) and 1 foot (or perhaps one foot). I do think 1MB looks a bit stupid, but any number other than "1" with KB/MB/GB etc (i.e. 128MB). looks fine, simply because the "1" is too narrow. Unfortunately, it boils down to opinion, and obviously we differ there.
On Board SCSI controller[edit]
The article claims an "NCR 53C96 SCSI controller". This controller can neither be found in Apple's specification (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Developer_Notes/Macintosh_CPUs-G3/PowerMac_G3/PowerMac_G3.pdf) nor on this site: http://www.heise.de/ct/97/13/208/ nor on any other site in the internet. Even a detailed picture (http://www.heise.de/ct/97/13/208/gossamer.jpg) of the Gossamer mainboard does not show any dedicated SCSI chip. Instead, both Apple's document and the computer magazine c't clearly state that the I/O controller Heathrow handles SCSI (among other interfaces). This solution is called MESH.
Of course it could be possible that NCR's controller is included as a part/module of Heathrow, but this is nowhere documented.
Thus there are a lot of proofs that there is no dedicated SCSI controller chip, and there is not a single proof that there is one. So either the article must be corrected, or a new photo of a Gossamer motherboard must be added that clearly shows the NCR chip.
This article is meant to be objective and should not reflect a single subjective idea or opinion or memory of a single person.
- MESH is Macintosh Enhanced SCSI Hardware. I'm also familiar with that picture.. and with the insides of the Beige G3.. I have three of them. The 53c96 isn't a chip, at least not in the G3s; I'm fairly certain it's incorporated into the MESH custom IC... which includes the SWIM3 controller (floppy drive), heathrow (IDE) etc, so you wouldn't see anything labeled "NCR 53C96". Software, such as TechTool Pro, even reports the presence of the 53c96 SCSI chip.. as well as the VIA1, SCC, etc. Dan 00:08, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- Update mmm, nope, you were right. Though, if it had used the 53c96 chip, it wouldn't have been visible... it still would have been part of the Heathrow; it's MESH-based. I was under the impression that the 53c96 was part of MESH. My apologies :) Dan 19:19, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
SCSI Error[edit]
In addition to the above problem the article states that the computer has "...Fast SCSI chain (up to 5 MB/s..." This is an error Fast SCSI has a 10MB/s speed. The original SCSI standard was 5 MB/s. Either this machine has Fast SCSI @ 10MB/s or else SCSI @ 5MB/s. Will a knowledgable party please correct it?
- The article was right in alternate cases. They had 2 SCSI buses - internal & external. The internal bus was fast scsi, the external was normal scsi —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pantergraph (talk • contribs) 21:43, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Compatible optical drives[edit]
Given the section on optical drive compatibility, it would probably be beneficial to compile a list of what is known to work. I have found that a BTC CDRW5224 reads and burns correctly on a Revision A G3 with Mac OS 9.2.2, and supports booting. Removing the front panel of the tray will allow the drive tray to open when the case is put back on. Dashwarts (talk) 18:57, 8 June 2010 (UTC), boot section updated Dashwarts (talk) 05:25, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Where the slots 32 or 64-bit wide? The article is ambiguous in this respect. Someone not using his real name (talk) 06:49, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
- If this photo is depicting what it claims to (and it seems to), then they were 32-bit, unlike in the successor Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White). Someone not using his real name (talk) 06:51, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Rumbles of an American remake of the gloriously weird little flick Big Man Japan began back in 2011, and now finally there's a little something to report about. Read on for the latest, and look for more hopefully soon!
In a recent interview with Collider screenwriters Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay (Clash of the Titans, R.I.P.D) had this to say about the long talked about remake…
"We're doing an adaptation of a Japanese movie for Neil Moritz called Big Man Japan – well, the movie was called Big Man Japan; this will probably be "Big Man United States." It's a great, crazy movie about a guy who is blown up to size via electricity to fight off monsters…The Kaiju that constantly attack Japan. It's a mockumentary about this kind of underappreciated guy and you follow him around through Japan. It's a great, crazy, really fun movie."
Originally released in 2007, "'Dai-Nipponjin' is an odd documentary-like comedy starring Matsumoto Hitoshi as a seemingly ordinary man who transforms into a gigantic hero. Despite constantly saving Japan from monsters in publicly televised battles, he gets no love from his family nor gratitude from the public."

A timeline of the Earth, Solar System and the surrounding galaxies until the Distant Era.
21st Century
All current world leaders of the 1900's die by the end of the century, USA and Canada form one nation and call it NAA. Meanwhile in Europe a NATO disagreement, leads to the collapse of the EU and the rise of the European Split was undergoing changes in the former-capital of Albania, Tirane. Also, in Australia, prime minister Oliver Kane summoned the leaders of China, Canada, Japan and New Zealand for a conference in Brisbane. This leads to the start of the Pacific Alliance Treaty Organization (PATO).
Back in the NAA, many arguments have caused the removal of state-laws and states in general and the country decided to change all laws to that of former-California. Capital moved from Washington to Vancouver. By 2090, Viscount Akria of the Greek-state of Cyprus joined Albania and Poland's ambitions to make Eastern Europe become part of Asia. During a worldwide televised conference with all members of the Former-EU and Asian Alliance met up in Frankfurt, Germany to discuss the dilemma. This led to many more meetings across Europe and Asia leading into the 22nd century.
In 2098, the former state of Iraq becomes independent once again after being taken over by the U.S. 24 years ago. The country once again became subject to news when it's armies invade the Turkish Empire and later Azerbaijan. NAA threatens that if they do not pull out of the two countries it will send troops in, again.
22nd Century
By the end of the 21st century many cures for many diseases were found. It was not until the new century dawned that a cure to Cancer was found, on the 1st day of January. The first man on Mars. In the Middle-East Iraq ignored its warnings and soon invaded Georgia and Armenia. This led to global conferences, including that of NATO and PATO. PATO was first to make a move and many soldiers were sent in from China and Australia to battle the armed soldiers. NATO soon proposed to link-up with PATO, however PATO declined the Proposition.
In Eastern Europe a petition was signed to become part of Asia instead of Europe, claiming that Europe is a deathtrap for their economies. This agreement was signed by Greece, Greek Cyprus, Albania, Estonia, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Finland, Belarus, all of former-Yugoslavia (except Kosovo), Poland, Romania and Bulgaria. However Ukraine, Moldova, Baressynia and Hungary did not sign this. During this, Germany was also debating whether or not to go to Asia, a poll showed that only 17% of the North of Germany would make the move, compared to 56% in South Germany and with Northern Germany being more populated Ariane Makrel and the government of Germany decided not to join Asia.
Once again NATO tried to link up with PATO, but with that another PATO disagreement happened. Iraq soon stopped invasions due to major threats from the Chinese Government.
By the end of century NATO's century report says that "PATO is less of a friend than [NATO] originally thought". The Sun and various other European newspapers say that a war between the two, (which was quite possible at the time) would be catastrophic. NATO's former-Canada leaves PATO however Norway stays with PATO but leaves NATO saying that a war with PATO would be more easily won with them. The president of Norway Margeret Orshund, denies that the country never wanted to be in NATO and that actually NATO treated Norway well but PATO keeps Norway as a country without violence.
23rd Century
At the dawn of the 23rd century NASA lands first man on Neptune, 200 years since Mars. The first President of Australia: Alistair Howard-James, be;hio;jojo'joo;joi;j;iohi;oh;ioi;jij;oj;o;comes head of state. In a bid for the Robo-Olympics China gains much attention as Chinese Emperor Xian'jin Huangyo is assassinated during his live, televised speech, the assassin was found to be Yqo Smith, an American-Caribbean raised in Alabama, he is later jailed for life. Norwegian prime minister, Filipe Angol becomes head of the UN and South Korea's Ttakchungi Seongsun-Wun becomes head of PATO.

I haven't read this in an while
I thought the 'monster' was allen, then thier kid (If they have one) then I find out it's a dog! You are a master at tricking people in a story
5 stars
| Vincent Noir chapter 1 . 10/27/2009
Keep it up!... your AxL fics was just awesome!
| Trickster-chan chapter 1 . 7/26/2009
Cute! *w*
Poor Komui kinda reminds me of my older brother... My first thought was that Lenalee was telling Komui that she was dating Allen(as I believe was your intention) but then the "monster" licked Lenalee's cheek, and I don't think a reasonable human being would EVER do that in front of Komui and stay alive, so...
But this was great! I'm definitely adding this to my favorites!
| yukihane chapter 1 . 7/20/2009
For a second, I was like, "Why is Allen licking her face?" Very convincing, hahah. Thanks for the read!

Aw! (I have a Chinese Pug.) I'd like to see a fic that could come before this one!

Nice job.
| Capu-Llama-Spark chapter 1 . 6/20/2009
That was so adorable. I was fooled though. I totally thought they were talking about Allen. I had to reread when I realized it was the dog xD Keep up the good work.

Burned into the mind of every bass angler are memorable days on the water when the surface suddenly erupted as wolf packs of bass viciously attacked schooling baitfish. In a sport where the target is generally unseen, the appearance of schooling bass on top usually generates a sudden adrenaline rush. Mayhem ensues as anglers franticly try to reach the school.
Then, just as suddenly as it appeared, the school is gone. While fishing for schooling bass can lead to some of the most exciting and action packed days on the water, it can also be extremely frustrating when you can see the bass feeding but can't get them to bite. Elite Series pro Kevin Short has a few tricks for keeping schooling bass active and putting more fish in the boat.
"True schooling fish, most of the times that I've seen them, are in little pods consisting of three to four bass," explains Short. "It's a little bit different than a school of deeper fish. When you hook a bass in a deep-water school, you might have 10 other bass following up that hooked fish.
However, when you find pods of bass schooling on top, you can rotate between pods and catch one or two out of each group." The Arkansas pro believes in the popular theory of 'matching the hatch' when it comes to maximizing the number of bass caught out of an active school. In schools of baitfish, individual fish might vary in size, but you can still determine the predominant size of baitfish. It's important to use a lure that mimics the most common sized baitfish.
"The smaller the shad, the smaller your bait has to be. You really have to pay attention to what's going on and let the shad dictate your lure size," he warns. Besides matching the hatch, Short employs a strategy to trigger schooling bass that strays from traditional options like a topwater or spinnerbait. "One of my best lures for fishing schooling fish is a really small, shallow running crankbait. I burn it as fast as I can and use a start-and-stop retrieve," says Short.
He believes that the stop-and-go pattern closely mimics startled or spooked shad and triggers a reaction strike from the bass. "If you pay attention to shad that are really active, they'll dart to one side and stop, then dart again and stop. A little crankbait really mimics that action," explains Short. Especially in clear water, Short uses a fast retrieve to burn the crankbait through the schooling bass, noting that actively feeding fish will rarely respond to slow moving offerings. When schooling bass sense angling pressure, they often turn off and retreat to deeper water. In this situation, Short takes precautions to be as stealthy as possible.
"Especially in really shallow or clear water, I'll stay as far away as possible and even go so far as to turn my depthfinder off — in that situation I'm not using my electronics anyway," says Short. "I've fished tournaments where the fish were getting really spooky and I could tell that they had really changed. That's when I shut everything down and got as quiet as possible to keep catching fish." While stealth helps keep schooling bass active and feeding, Shorts employs a seemingly contradictory method when attempting to re-ignite a school of bass that has become inactive.
"When the schooling bite dies, one of the most unorthodox things that I do is start my big engine and run the boat in tight circles," explains Short. "By doing that, I spook the shad and make them form into different groups. It might bring the baitfish to the surface, or it might push them deeper.
Either way, it changes the whole environment and stirs everything up."

"'The victim has to relive this trauma all over again," said Kathy Walsh, executive director of the Tennessee Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence. "This is something that the victim has to live with for the rest of her life, and it can cause trauma to have to go to trail over and over and over again."
Walsh offers training and education to facilities, students and athletes as part of her work as an advocate. Awareness of sexual assault has improved while the case has been pending, she said.

Multi Screen Media (MSM) has appointed Neville Bastawalla as its new Marketing Head for its Hollywood movie channel Sony Pix.
A marketing professional with over 14 years of multi-brand experience, Bastawalla's previous stint was with STAR India, where he joined in January 2011 as Marketing Head for its English channels and was most recently Head – Marketing for STAR's Hindi movies channels since February 2013.

text: There is not one mobile future, but 7 billion futures, said Intel Fellow and anthropologist Dr. Genevieve Bell at the Intel Developer Forum today. Describing how the human being has always been, and will continue to be, the ultimate mobile platform, Bell illustrated how mobile technology has historically been used to extend our bodies and physical reach, augment our deficiencies and increase our capacity to get things done. "Mobility technology has been transforming human society for centuries. Its future will be influenced not only by the shrinking size of computing technology due to Moore's Law, but also by global population growth," Bell said. "Our inspiration should come not only from the invention of new technology ingredients, but also from the needs and desires of human beings. It's not one future we are shaping – it's 7 billion futures, and counting." What people want in future mobility Bell's work as an anthropologist at Intel has uncovered important insights into people's desires and frustrations regarding their relationship with technology. Relying on learnings from over 250,000 interviews conducted in 45 countries, she shared with the audience of technology industry developers four global themes reflecting what people want in future mobility: technology which is truly personal, which unburdens them from some of the more annoying hassles of use, which helps people stay in the moment, and which helps people to be their better selves. A "smart clothing" demonstration from Berlin's Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration illustrated how shrinking technology will one day disappear into the objects and spaces people interact with. A bicyclist sporting a jacket with a stretchable circuitry board woven into fabric demonstrated clothing could flash bright red lights when a rider is braking. This single example represented each of the four themes of future mobile technology. The cyclist can enjoy the personal experience of riding and stay in the flow of the moment without worrying about controlling the jacket's functionality. The jacket also augments his body making him more visible and allowing him to safely pursue riding at all hours of the day or night.

Travers history: Alpha, Golden Ticket finish in dead heat
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (AP) – A bit of Travers Stakes history unfolded at the finish line at Saratoga Race Course when Alpha caught Golden Ticket at the wire and the two finished in a dead heat for the win Saturday.
It was the first dead-heat finish in 143 runnings of the $1 million Travers and had the crowd wondering who won for several minutes as the photo finish sign flashed on the infield toteboard. A few minutes later, the numbers of Golden Ticket and Alpha appeared, with the words dead heat alongside. The 1874 Travers ended in a dead heat, but Attila was declared the official winner after a runoff with Acrobat.
Fast Falcon finished third, a neck behind the winners. Atigun was fourth, followed by Nonios, Neck 'n Neck, Stealcase, Speightscity, Liaison, Five Sixteen and Street Life.
A Travers Stakes missing most of the top 3-year-olds, including retired Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner I'll Have Another and Belmont winner Union Rags, turned into a race to remember on the 50th anniversary of another great finish. In the 1962 Travers, Jaipur and Ridan dueled the entire race before Jaipur won by a nose.
This was far from a two-horse race — until the stretch. Speightscity shot straight to the lead from the rail as expected. Alpha, under Ramon Dominguez, was third and Golden Ticket well back in the field of 11. When the field turned for home, jockey David Cohen moved Golden Ticket inside, and he took a clear lead.
But Alpha fought back and kept closing the margin as the two neared the wire and pulled even just as the two hit the finish together. Kiran McLaughlin, who trains Alpha, and Ken McPeek, who trains Golden Ticket, stood next to each other in the owners' boxes and high-fived after the final result was posted.
The winning time for the 1¼ miles was 2:02.74.
Alpha, the 2-1 favorite, returned $4.10, $5.10 and $3.90, and 33-1 longshot Golden Ticket paid $26.80, $26.40 and $11.80. Fast Falcon, trained by Nick Zito, returned $13.60.
Alpha came into the Travers off a win in the Jim Dandy, while Golden Ticket was a last-minute entry by McPeek and had won only one of nine career starts.
In earlier races:
• Willy Beamin ($24.80) ran down the leaders in the stretch for a surprising win in the $500,000 King's Bishop just three days after the colt trained by Rick Dutrow Jr. won the Albany Stakes.
• Even-money choice Contested ($4) took the lead with an eighth-mile to go after losing her footing at the start and won the $500,000 Test Stakes for 3-year-old fillies by two lengths over Gypsy Robin. Trained by Bob Baffert, Contested won for the fifth time in her last six starts.
• Zagora ($5) took charge in the final eighth-mile and won the $250,000 Ballston Spa for fillies and mares by 1½ lengths over Hungry Island.

Hi there everyone. Just kicking off this topic to discuss specific examples of real world film scanners.
My hope is that everyone can discuss their ideas regarding any specific part of the Kinograph in relation to real world examples. For example, film transport tension. Let's discuss the DIY approach but in regards to known and current scanning transport technologies. If we can replicate a proven technology or enhance using the DIY approach we may save a lot of reinventing the wheel so to speak.
Here is a YouTube clip showing the Walde scanner. This is a good overview of a quality scanner.
Great new topic. Love the idea of taking the best from the best and simplifying.
Thank you. You actually simplified everything I said above in one sentence.
@anthony this video is amazing. Thanks so much for posting a lot to dig into.
Film Path = 3x roller at each reel to feed tension arms. 2x roller at gate for pre-scan camera setup.
Gate - curved (using linear scan camera), swaps out with screws
Overall orientation - reel over reel. easy to understand and access all parts of film path.
Alt path for PTRs.
Imaging - pre-scan camera takes care of frame detection + more
Software - simple, straightforward interface focused on capture only
Capstan - this drives the machine - but how and how is it designed?! Would love to see that upclose.
Not pictured or defined = motors. Argh. Go go gadget x-ray vision!

Maybe the game should be renamed Words With More Friends.
With Words With Friends expected to become playable today on Facebook, you can bet the game will add to its 20 million-plus list of friends.
This is the first game from Zynga (FarmVille, CityVille) to migrate from mobile devices to Facebook. "It really opens the game up to a massive audience that I don't think has played the game yet," said Paul Bettner, general manager for Zynga With Friends. "This is an opportunity to broaden the audience that can play the game by an order of magnitude."
The new Facebook version of Words With Friends will be interoperable with current versions of the game for Apple and Android devices. "We want to have as much as possible a seamless experience," said Zynga With Friends studio director David Bettner. "So whether I am standing in line at the grocery store or whatever and playing a game and I go home and I can get on my laptop and pick up that exact same game where I left off."
The Facebook version of the Scrabble-like word game also gains a "Brag List" feature that posts high scores and significant win notices on your Facebook wall. "We've had our audience doing this between themselves all the time, saying, 'Oh, look at this word I just played for 100 points'," said Paul Bettner "It is a little bit of a tedious process. You have to take a screenshot of the board or manually go to your Twitter account."
With the new feature, "It will post directly into your social feed for your friends to see on your wall," he says. "It feels like it is really something people are going to love."
Released in 2009, Words With Friends still holds No. 6 on AppData's Top Paid App list. The studio's Hanging With Friends is No. 2 behind list-topping Angry Birds. The free ad-supported game (Apple's App Store also offers a $1.99 ad-free version) lets you play multiple games against other players simultaneously.
The Bettners' goal with the new Facebook version is to "see if we can get that Pandora experience," says David Bettner. "You have the same experience (and) you don't care if you are getting (the music service) Pandora from some other device, you just want Pandora. We want that same thing with gaming."
Before starting their Newtoy Inc. studio near Dallas, the Bettners were at Microsoft Game Studios, where they worked on Halo and Age of Empire releases. As the studio grew, they hired friends and ex-co-workers. "Now, you have got all these people used to making huge $50 million epic games like Halo that are now making these lightweight social games," Paul Bettner said. "Now we make games that our wives like to play. When we did Hanging With Friends and my wife saw it on my phone she said, 'What is that and why haven't you given it to me yet?' 'We're still working on it,' I said."
Casual games can have a double-edge sword, Dave Bettner said. "I actually got a call from my mom. She said 'I have a list of bugs we have to go through right now.'"
Zynga acquired the studio last year.
Words With Friends got a bump shortly after it launched in 2009 when musician John Mayer tweeted about the game. "After that, a whole bunch of other musicians were playing the game. Then we saw TV celebrities (The Office's Rainn Wilson among them) started playing and you could just watch people playing on the set of TV shows and movies," Paul Bettner said. "Recently, it's sports celebrities like Terrell Owens and the Rangers started playing here in Dallas (story in D Magazine). There were stories about the entire team going back into the clubhouse and playing. It's been awesome."
Among the celebrities who play the game, Eliza Dushku (White Collar, Dollhouse), said. "I gave out my (Words With Friends) screen name to my 1 million Twitter/Facebook followers so sometimes my queue gets a little out of control or I end up in a game with some MIT word prodigy ninja who just smokes me in 3 turns."
In an email exchange facilitated by a Zynga spokesperson, Dushku continued that the game "is brain food, keeps the brain muscle active & working & also fires what I believe to be healthy competitive juices! Since WWF's connects to my Facebook accounts I can play games with old friends from high school, new friends that I want to know more about (& you can learn ALOT about someone in just 1 game!) Boston & family members that I may not actually want to TALK to on a given day or night- but there we are in a battle to the death over word-slingin'! It's multi-functional/useful.".
The Bettners admit to occasionally being starstruck upon learning that a celeb is playing the game. "We just found out Alec Baldwin was playing the game and Dave was freaking out because he loves Alec Baldwin," said Paul Bettner.
"We started working on this game when it was just us, when we were working out of a public library and just bootstrapped our own company to start working on these titles. Back then we had no possible way of wrapping our brains around what's happened with the game in terms of its popularity," he said. "I can't wait to see that taken to the next level of amplification with Facebook."

Six 'Local Allocations' (Green Belt sites identified for housing development and other associated uses) were identified in our strategic plan, called the Core Strategy. The Core Strategy was adopted in September 2013. We have prepared the draft master plan for Local Allocation 3.

Running your own business can be one of the most rewarding things to do in life but it can also be one of the most demanding and stressful. Making decisions to move your business forward can involve a lot of uncertainty and genuine advice is hard to find; everyone has different ideas and opinions.
There is a saying "you have to spend money to make money" and although there is an element of truth in this, you can also waste a huge amount of time and money when trying to increase revenue in a business. Even if running a business to you is not all about the money; the truth is if your business makes more money you can take it in any direction you want.
I have successfully run various businesses large and small from IT and media to property development. I have also been involved at management level in large blue chip companies as diverse as biotech, medical and brand agencies. This varied background experience has enabled me to help clients improve businesses of all sizes.
Some of the key points I can help you and your business with:
- How to grow your business with minimal risk
- Increase sales
- Attract new customers
- Attract the right customers
- Create new products and services to get different clients
- Sell more to existing customers
- Minimise administration and overheads
- Employment issues
- Less concentration on growing the business for the sake of it and more emphasis on profit and making more money for you
- Free up more of your time to spend on new projects or with family and friends
If you would like some genuine and impartial business advice get in touch for a free initial consultation.

Addressing a gathering of Queensland and Karnataka industrialists at a meeting organised by the Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI), Mr Beattie noted that former captain Steve Waugh, despite many accomplishments, rued not winning a series in India but was bullish that Kangaroos would pull it off this time round.
''We as nations shall remain long lasting friends, but on the ensuing test series, I'm pretty hopeful the Australians will conquer their so-called final frontier,'' he observed.
He singled out prolific Aussie and Queensland opener Mathew Hayden for special praise. "Hayden has been amazingly consistent over the past few seasons. He has made us proud," he added.

A Young Woman Sleeping
You must hopefully know by now that I'm not just a fanboy for the panel arts, but a fanboy for art of the ages. As a teen student at the Art Institute of Chicago, I was enamored of Rembrandt and would visit his art daily at lunchtime. His published etchings and drawings were a constant source of inspiration. His 1654 sketch of Hendrickje Stoffels, below, never ceases to impress me for its qualities of light and mood, spontaneously accomplished with the few simple bold strokes of a brush with brown wash.

It would probably take me hours and hours to come up with this. Simple and beautiful.

Ah, connoisseurs.

Can you imagine somebody actually sleeping in that position? Rembrandt was a wonderful worker with ink, but I think the curators who name this type of work are so tone-deaf you must imagine that they don't actually like art, they just enjoy cataloguing it.
