Windows 8, Microsoft's new and controversial Windows 8 Doesn't Come with Aero - But You Can Add It With These Tools Windows 8 Doesn't Come with Aero - But You Can Add It With These Tools Whichever way you look at it, Windows 8 has been a controversial release. The latest version of Microsoft's domestic operating system has built in touch and no Start button on the Desktop view, something that... Read More operating system, calls out for a touch screen. If you've upgraded to the latest version of Windows, you must have noticed the new Start screen, the Charms, the task switcher, the hot corners – these are all built especially for touch screens, and are pretty much wasted on regular laptops and monitors.
The newer generation of Ultrabooks is equipped with a touch screen, blurring the difference between laptops and tablets, and making it possible to enjoy the Windows 8 experience as it should be. But if you think a touchscreen Ultrabook equals tablet specs – think again. The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is a laptop/tablet hybrid with a flexible screen which can be rotated 360 degrees, turning this seemingly regular-looking Ultrabook into a tablet. Don't be confused by its appearance, though, this 13.3-inch Ultrabook comes with a Core i5 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB Solid State Drive, making it much more than your regular Windows 8 tablet PC.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 Ultrabook looks like the perfect way to experience Windows 8, but how practical is it really? How much do you really get for the attractive $999 price tag? After using the Yoga for nearly a month, I have all the answers you're looking for. And as always, we're also giving away one brand new Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 Ultrabook to one of you! Read on to find out how you can win it.
Windows 8 is almost 6 months old, and the laptop market is still re-orienting itself to this fairly new operating system. Although Windows 8 is built for touch screens (with touch gestures), we're still not seeing the boom of touchscreen-enabled laptops we may have expected. Taking a good look at the market, it seems much easier to find a good Windows 8 tablet than a powerful Windows 8 touchscreen Ultrabook, and in that category, the IdeaPad Yoga 13 still doesn't have many competitors.
At $999, the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 Ultrabook is attractively priced, but there are several other options to look at if you're searching for a touchscreen Ultrabook. The Acer Aspire S7 is similar to the Yoga in size and specs, and at 2.9 pounds, is even lighter than the IdeaPad Yoga 13. It doesn't, however, have the same screen flexibility as the Yoga, and at $1240, it's also slightly pricier. HP also offers its own line of touchscreen laptops, from the economically priced 14-inch Envy 4 TouchSmart ($700) to the more expensive 15.6-inch Spectre XT TouchSmart ($1630), but none of them can be easily turned into a tablet like the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 can.
If you're looking for an even smaller screen, Lenovo's 12.5-inch ThinkPad Twist offers an innovative experience, with a twist-around screen that folds over the keyboard for the perfect tablet experience. Without an SSD, it's slightly weaker than the Yoga, and despite being smaller, it's slightly heavier too. But at $750, it is very fairly priced. Other options such as Sony's Duo 11 ($1250) and the Acer Iconia W700 ($1050) are easily converted from tablet to laptop and back, and have the specs to match the Yoga, but keep in mind that the Iconia is much more tablet than a PC, and comes with a separate Bluetooth keyboard — read our review of the Acer Iconia Acer Iconia W7 Windows 8 Tablet PC Review and Giveaway Acer Iconia W7 Windows 8 Tablet PC Review and Giveaway Slimline, sleek, sexy and silver - but you can't have everything. The Acer Iconia W7 is a Windows 8 tablet priced between $799 and $999 (depending on the chosen model) that looks as though it... Read More to find out more.
What's In The Box?
Granted, I haven't bought a new laptop in almost 4 years, but the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 packaging was the nicest I ever recall seeing. Upon opening the box, I found a sleek orange laptop, with the rest of the accessories each packaged into its own neat little box. Each box was marked with a wireframe drawing, leaving no doubts about its contents. This is what it looks like after removing the laptop from the box.
As you can see, the Yoga doesn't come with too many extras. In fact, the fancy boxes only include a power supply and some documents, but the beautiful packaging makes it feel almost like unwrapping candy.
Design & Hardware
As you've probably noticed, my Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is orange. Don't get your hopes up, though, as the giveaway unit is most likely going to be grey. Colors aside, the Yoga is lightweight (3.3 pounds) and thin, with a matte finish that doesn't easily show fingerprints or smudges. It's a little hard to open – I was having trouble at first and looked for some kind of latch I was missing – but you soon get used to the process.
The back is completely smooth, with four rubber nubs that help keep the laptop completely stable on any surface. As you can see, there's no trace of a battery, which is hidden somewhere inside, so there's no easy way to change the IdeaPad Yoga's battery. When it's dead, it's dead.
On the inside, the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is covered with a soft, almost rubbery material, and sports a large and sensitive Synaptics trackpad with no physical buttons, which depresses down on both sides for left and right click. Lenovo's keyboard is excellent, as always, and eliminates any learning curve you may normally have with a new laptop. After about 2 minutes, I was already typing as if I've owned the Yoga for over a year.
The keyboard turns all F button but F5 into Function keys, replacing them with volume and brightness controls, an airplane mode button, an "alt-tab" button, and a screen on/off button, to name a few. This may take some getting used to, but soon enough you'll discover that these options are far more useful than your F buttons ever were.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is less than generous when it comes to ports. Looking around the laptop, you'll find only two USB ports, one of which is USB 3.0, an HDMI port, and a headphones jack. That's it. No Ethernet port, no VGA, and definitely no optical drive, but this has all become standard fare for Ultrabooks. The laptop also includes an SD card slot, a screen rotate lock button, a physical volume button, and, naturally, a power jack, which looks surprisingly like USB.
On the front you'll find the power button, a battery indicator, and the Novo button, which can be used to activate Lenovo's OneKey Recovery system, the BIOS setup utility, and to enter the boot menu.
The back of the laptop hides two fairly good speakers, which are more than enough for watching movies and listening to music. They may not be enough for an audiophile, but I found them more than adequate for all of my audio needs.
The display is a beautiful 13.3-inch IPS panel with a native 1600 x 900 resolution. Colors are bright and sharp, but the resolution and IPS may take some getting used to if you're transferring from an older computer. The display panel can rotate all the way to the back, and sports a Windows Home button for extra control when the laptop is in tablet mode, and a 720p HD webcam on top.
Panel & Touchscreen Capabilities
As I've already repeated several times, the IdeaPad Yoga's screen can be rotated all the way back, leaving the keyboard exposed when in complete tablet mode. Worry not, though, the keyboard is automatically disabled when the panel exceeds a 180 degrees angle, so you won't be pressing buttons by mistake when holding it in tablet mode.
The flexible screen allows for many possible positions, all of which make it easy to use the laptop's touchscreen without having to hold it in your hands.
Although it's slightly big to be held as a regular tablet, the screen's relatively large bezel makes it possible to hold in your hands without triggering touch gestures by accident. The bezel does take away some valuable screen real-estate from the already smallish screen.
The screen's flexibility is supported by incredible viewing angles – there's literally no angle you can't see the display from. This may be less the ideal for privacy in public places, but you're definitely going to enjoy it in everyday use. The Yoga recognizes changes in orientation fairly quickly, but will only respond by rotating the display when the screen is past the 180 degrees mark, which makes complete sense.
To best demonstrate the laptop's touch sensitivity, pinch-to-zoom capabilities, on-screen keyboard, etc., I've prepared a series of short videos. While it may seem like the touchscreen is missing some of my taps, this is mainly due to me looking at the screen through my camera, and mis-judging my finger's distance from the screen and the right place to tap, so keep that in mind when watching the videos.
Here you can enjoy my amazing Cut The Rope skills, get an idea of what the Yoga's speakers sound like, and get a glimpse at what your life will look like when you can play Cut The Rope on your laptop the way it's meant to be.
The on-screen keyboard is roomy and comfortable, and can be triggered at any time through a tray icon in desktop mode. When the Yoga is in tablet mode, the on-screen keyboard is triggered by default whenever necessary.
Living With The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13
Despite the Yoga's excellent touch capabilities and its convenient flexibility, at the end of the day, it's a PC first and foremost. Ever since buying it, the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 has been serving as my main work computer, and has been doing so brilliantly. It's strong, durable, and lightweight, and performs any task I put it to with impressive speed.
While I haven't managed to get the promised 8-hour battery life, the 5-6 hours I did manage to get are enough for a nice and long working session from a coffee shop, without having to worry about finding a power point.
It's lightweight enough to make me want to carry it with me everywhere, and yet sturdy enough to feel like a real laptop, and not one that's going to break in my hands any second.
During the first few days, I tried using the Yoga as a tablet on several occasions and thoroughly enjoyed myself, but after my initial excitement cooled down, I find that I barely use the laptop's touch capabilities, except when triggering them by mistake when trying to get rid of dust on the screen. Having said that, it's nice to be able to use Windows 8 as its meant to be, and I'm sure that with time, I will find more and more uses for the Yoga's excellent touch screen.
All in all, I'm extremely happy with the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13. My only minor gripes are the lack of more USB ports – a problem which can be easily solved with cheap accessories, and one that plagues almost all modern Ultrabooks – and the SD slot which requires a very specific pressure point, and is a little hard to use. At $999, the Yoga offers excellent value for money, and in my opinion, it's the best touchscreen Windows 8 laptop you can currently get.

I'd like to win this right now...it is stunningly beautiful.
Looks good. W8 has been off to a poor start though. I use it and its okay. While I'm mostly a Linux user. A bit disturbing is how hard MSFT has made too put Linux on W8 loaded systems. This looks like a great fit for Ubuntu and Unity or even Pear Linux.
very high class technology..nice and wonderfull
I would really love to win this one...thinking of some possible uses to this right now....
Oh this is great. Hope can win this one. Lenovo is the kind of computer that I like, very steady, good materials and good price.
Thanks for the giveaway.
this is a very nice giveaway
The yoga 13 appears to be a viable alternative to a laptop for portable, lightweight applications.
Nice hardware
I would love to win this ideapad yoga 13 ultrabook. I have a home computer now but need this so much.
One word...
Been entering giveaways religiously ... might get lucky this time ... :)
looks like something I can really get to enjoy working with
It would be a damn lovely gift for myself
good luck every1 :)
What a cool give-away! As you can see, I am still behind in my reading but I am so glad I didn't miss this one. I am a little concerned about two things: the 4 gb of ram and only 2 USB ports. In today's computing world, one would HAVE TO use a hub in order to run devices that run using a USB port. Maybe the next generation of this pad will have that?
very useful tool and also looks prettycool.
Lenovo wins.
I love lenovo!
Thanks for the great giveaway! Count me in! I am lenovo fan!
Great giveaway!

I read every word of the newsletter I receive ....just love it
I've tired to use Windows 8 on Laptops, Desktops, and Tablets and they only way it's remotely tolerable is on a tablet. I suppose anything with a touch screen would work though...
great product! Thanks for the giveaway! Best regards
I'm still wondering how that is going to work in the long run as a tablet when the keyboard is exposed on the back side...
I hope I win this tablet!
I would love to win this tablet!

this would be SUCH an upgrade from my current laptop...it's coming up on its 3rd birthday since i bought it....a RAM upgrade can only do so much.
Want one would so love to win one.
Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! :)
Its just perfect ^_^
Looks like a winner to me! Would love it in my hands.
Totally would be awesome to have! Big fan of Lenovo's computers.
The integration between "tabletish" and "netbookish" devices seems to be the way to go.
I really like this lenovo, but I expect to see some time soon a MacBook with a touchable screen.
wow...Nice offer thank you...
It's nice and attractive in features.
Sweet! Thanks so much! :)
I'm lovin' this giveaway already. I hope it comes my way this time.
I hope I win
Its awesome & amazing offer for us.
The laptop seems to come with good spec's,however,the colour is almost "industrial" but after a few looks it seems to work and thats what matters,the inside,(both insides) screen and keyboard.A i5 intel should be power enough to drive the cpu's demand and the SSD making smooth running.
Good Luck all...
And have a good Easter.
word spread wish this time luck will give me a break :(
THis is awesome.
I love windows 8. It is so beautiful .....
awesome giveaway. can't wait for the result.
Great :)
This is awesome i'm itching to get it
Your review was very well done!
Hope that I win the compitition.
I forgot to add - Friday, April 12th is my birthday. 6 decades of unbridled confusion.
I've never owned a laptop, never won anything on the internet, never had a chance to try Win 8 and never used a Lenovo product. If I win this, it will be a lot of first all in one.
Come to pappa!!!!!
It looks pretty darn good. I wonder if toshiba is better than lenovo...
hope i win this time dude XD
Awesome giveaway! Hope I win it! Would be great if I do!
Pick me! I need a windows computer!
Great giveaway, count me in.
I hope I win!
NICE giveaway. Thank you.
A few things to point out, Jackson. The Twist you mention is a Thinkpad, so it will have a pointing stick (Trackpoint) included, as well as the touchpad.
For those people worrying about the battery - every Ultrabook is this way (I blame Apple) - you can get it replaced under warranty (I think 1yr warranty is standard, and you can buy upgraded battery warranties).
You can also get an 11" Yoga - but it runs Windows 8 RT - just say no! Look for the Yoga 11S, which is a Windows 8 tablet like the 13" tablet.
I love lenovo ;)
Thanks for the nice giveaway!
I like toyz....
lenovo has brought something new into the technology market and they will be a force to be recon with, this technology has come to stay.
Good luck everyone! :)
great! (=
Thank you!
Looks awesome! Has anyone tried to install Linux on it? Any success?
Or maybe ChromeOS? Or Android?
Thanks again makeuseof.com!
I have been wanting to try a Surface but this really looks like its the shiznitz with everything you need to be productive out of the box.

Something I could use to replace my old jalopy. Thank you for this Giveaway
Great Laptop!
Oh, Yaara, the old lady wants this one!!!! You youngsters might think it would be wasted on someone my age, but I can promise you that if I'm breathing, I'll be using it LOL!
I'm going to kill myself if i dont win this :)
Where do I send the flowers? You have two chances of winning, slim and none.
Awesome giveaway. Hope I win :)
Looks kewl. My wife would love one of these B-)
Best giveaways ever. This is probably the only way I would upgrade to Win 8. I really don't see a good reason to make a leap from 7 to 8 since it's not necessary to do so unless you are looking for a tablet/laptop.
Great giveaway!
good luck.
I would really like to win this awesome giveaway!!!
So hopeful about this product! I already use Windows 8 on my desktop computer and really enjoy the OS. A tablet/notebook with Windows 8 and touchscreen capabilities would be wonderful!
Thank you so much for the giveaway!
great review! awesome giveaways.. hope to win any of these giveaway.. :)
Great site - happy to share it with my connections http://www.elearnium.com/2013/03/it-cpd-for-free.html
Best Giveway And Awesome Lenovo Ideapad Template
Great review! I love the laptop/tablet design. And, for what it's worth, the orange version is better than the grey! :-)

i really really realllllyyyy hope i win!!!!!! *Fingers Crossed*

Great giveaway!
I would be very grateful to jehovah god if i should win this honourable gift. Because it would go a long way to help me in my studies and research as my old laptop is no more functioning well. Thank you.
Awesome offer. . . winner is very lucky !!!
I really enjoy receiving your newsletter and learn something from almost every article. I think that your giveaway items are excellent choices and I would love to have almost any of them.
My comment is that I don't think it's fair that you occasionally penalize those of us who are not Facebook fans. Some of your giveaways require a facebook account. I'm one of those few, but growing number, of people who don't feel I have to share every waking moment with the world. I don't need 150 "friends" approval or affirmation that I exist. I especially don't need some company taking my info and allowing other people to tear it apart and use it for other purposes. I like my privacy just fine.
On the two or three occasions that I have been tempted to give in and get a Facebook account, I have been regaled with horror stories by friends and family about how they wish they had never started with facebook and can't seem to close the account now. When it says it's closed, it just means you can no longer access it from that computer. Just go to another computer and try it.
So in the future, I would appreciate it if you didn't try to "force" me into a Facebook account just so I can register for one of your awesome giveaway prizes. For those people who think the world is waiting breathlessly for their next Facebook post, let them have the Facebook time. I know the world is not waiting or caring about my next thoughts, and even if they were I'm not sure I would want to share them with strangers.
Thank you,
Roy A. Milner
awesome giveaway, thanks
GREAT giveaway :-)
Nice unit! Love to win it!!! Thanks!
Looks like a good one.
this would be an asset in my life thanks for the best giveaway good luck
hope this time I win
will the giveaway also have hebrew localized keyboard ?
Guys, I know this may be hard to believe, but not everyone has (or wants) a Facebook account. Personally, I think social networks are a huge waste of time. Lest you think me some tech dinosaur, I'm a Systems Administrator and am constantly asked to evaluate new technologies. I've asked around, and many of my peers feel the same way about social networks. I'd love to enter to win the IdeaPad, but not like this.
I AM interested in participating in your giveaway. But, I AM not a Facebook nor a tweeter. So doesn't allow me to participate. Why is it so complicated to participate.
Your system is not user friendly at all. As a subscriber I AM thinking of opting out.
Please respond. Thanks.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck everyone!!!
Waooo,i hope i win this..thanks ..
I wish I get my hands on this beauty. Would be a treat to work with Photoshop on this gorgeous touch laptop.
I hope i win this time..
Looks awesome! Thank you for all you do.
Love it!
Way cool giveaway! I thnk this ultrabook would be perfect to carry along out in the field for storing collected data. Keep up the good work, guys!!
it's a crazybook.thanks for the giveawy
Thanks for giveaway
Wow what a great giveaway! :)
this looks absolutely amazing!
the design is really impressive honestly.
I have a co worker that has one of these...very nice machine. Very mobile, she takes it everywhere. Looking forward to having one myself. ;)
would love this but I know my kids could use this too so Happy Easter to them if I won thanks great package as usual
Great review and the specs look great, but what is up with that name? I would love to have been a fly on the wall for that meeting.
This is a tremendous deal. I like the flexibility of the screen.
Awesome looking machine and a great review.
Looks like a nice bit of kit and can work nicely in two paradigms. I've always liked IBM, and later Lenovo, kit both personal and big server gear. What was the the saying, no one ever got fired for choosing IBM equipment :-)
Mind you, I don't expect to win this as I was born with the wrong name or genes :-(
Awesome! I would love to win!
I've seen articles calling for the end of the desktop. And ones predicting the end. But, as a gamer, I really can't see that ever happening. However, if you could connect up a mouse and KB to a tablet/ultrabook with these kind of specs, it would be able to handle most games that are out right now. In fact, you could hook up a big monitor with the HDMI on this beast and play on a bigger screen.
The question, then, ends up being: would it ever happen that these will take over the market of the desktop?
My opinion is: I don't think they would because you would always have people who want some more versatility: i.e. adding drives in RAID, flashy lights, easier upgradeability (GPU comes to mind). And, of course, you will always have dinosaurs like myself who just don't want to change and will always want a monster sitting on their desk and will only give it up over their cold, dead body.
"if you could connect up a mouse and KB to a tablet/ultrabook with these kind of specs......you could hook up a big monitor with the HDMI on this beast and play on a bigger screen."
If you did that then you would no longer have a tablet, you would effectively have a desktop, thus making liars out of pundits predicting a desktop demise. :)
I hope I get this one .
I have had the Yoga with Windows 8 on it since it came out last October, I must say that I am very happy with it! If you are looking for an affordable convertible tablet that will get the job done, then the yoga is for you! I have no reservations about recommending it to someone!
Am I the only one of MakeUsOf patrons NOT using Facebook? I can't enter this contest because of this. I closed my account three years ago when I got "hacked" and won't go back.
I know the MakeUsOf uses "other" social media; why not provide access to the giveaway code in these other much used links?
Another swivel screen tablet/laptop is the HP Touch Smart tm 2, it's been out for a while now I've had mine for almost two years. Its also is touch enabled and swivles into a tablet configuration has a 12.5inch back lit screen, biometric fingerprint reader, 3 usb ports, hdmi, smartcard reader,multi function click stylus, bluetooth and wifi or just wifi,15 pin VGA conector on the back as well as CAT port also has a k lock spot, there's also a button for the tablet configuration that changes the screens orientation quickly and the dolby speakers and camera work quite nicely, I skimped a little on the processor and got the intel i3 insteaad of i5 or i7... i have 6 gb of installed RAM 5.8 useable, 500gb hard drive, and I use an external Bluray/CDROM drive when I need one, after two years im only getting about 6 to 8 hrs out of each batery before it tells be i need to switch( I switch between two bateries in the field, I was getting 8 to 9 hrs max life the first year, I plug it in at home.). I am still on windows 7 though. Just haven't made the switch to windows 8, why not? you ask, well... I have a lot of work programs that I need for work and I'm not sure they are compleetly compatable with windows 8 yet, so I guess I'm just not that darring enough to try yet, eventually I will upgrade. All in all I've been happy with this computer and use it in both configurations often (as a laptop and as a tablet) the weight is about 5lbs it feels a bit heavy holding as a tablet while I walk around but you get use to it, and most people probably wouldn't be walking around with theirs. I have got to say the option to switch between a tablet and a laptop configuation has been increadably useful for me, benifits of both worlds, I hope they continue to keep this as an option in the future its a great crossover. Oh the cost mine came in the $1500.00 USD range two years ago, bought directly from HP.
Thank you for a great review Yaara, sounds like another great crossover tablet pc.
Awesome giveaway on awesome website.. Like everyone I am also hoping to win..
Thank you so much for this giveaway! Fingers crossed ;)

Great product
Thanks MUO & Lenovo for this Awesome giveaway please count me in & thanks. Great review by the way.
Oh Lord Jesus "Makeuseof" is on fire...
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
I hope I win... ;-))
May the best Grandma win :)
Would be cool to have this ! I can retire my Desktop !
Great giveaway, thanks and regards
I could use this!
Wow this is product of my choice. Hopefully I am lucky !
If only one of the giveaways will be mine :)
I've been wanting a tablet type product. Your review info was well done.
Thanks MUO & Lenovo for this Awesome giveaway please count me in & thanks. Great review by the way.
This would be a fantastic ultrabook to win. I am keeping my fingers crossed. My current laptop is slowly fizzling its way out and I could really be more productive with this one especially since I am bringing more work home now.
Another lame giveaway. No, I am not going to makeuseof Facebook.
Try me again when you get a clue.
YEAH!!! Better chance for me to win. Thank you for not playing along.
Lame??? I love that you think so, as the rest of us get another chance at winning. Keep complaining and not participating in this fantastic giveaways that MUO invites us to!
OK, let me know when you win.
And yes, it is lame. I've won lots of stuff without ever having to use Facebook. If makeuseof wants to have a giveaway, fine, but they shouldn't try to force us into so-called social media.
You can use points instead.
Clearly, reading and comprehension are not all that closely related...
So, since you lack the comprehension, I'll explain it to you: points, Facebook, whatever, they are all just added annoyances. My point is that if makeuseof offers a giveaway, they should just simply offer a giveaway -- Period!
And, as it happens, makeuseof has often done just that in the past, so I'm merely suggesting they continue to do so, and leave out the crap.
Got it?
Paul, being nice is a choice you know. There's no need to be rude, if you have nothing nice to say might as well to zip it. No one is forcing you to participate here, should even be grateful to these people having the effort of putting up a great review plus giving away goodies. Cheers.
Hey Jasmin,
I agree. So why don't you try being nice? Respect other people's opinions, or is that too much to ask?
The last time that I checked, I was allowed to voice an opinion.
Reread everything -- I am never rude, but would be happy to go that route if it would make you happy.
Oh yeah, and have a nice day.
this would be an incredible thing if I could put another OS on it too!
Why can't you? I'm sure that Linux would be a perfect fit.
"Why can't you? I'm sure that Linux would be a perfect fit."
If it has UEFI or other Safe Computing garbage, Linux will be considered an "unsupported" O/S.
Personally, the first thing I would do is to get rid of Win 8 and replace it with Slackware or openSUSE.
Well, the solution isn't necessarily quick or easy, but lots of people are working on the UEFI issue. Thanks, Microsuck!
Anyway, a quick search and I found fixes and work-arounds for both Slackware and openSUSE.
Good Luck!
Mac's use UEFI and I was able put Ubuntu on my Macbook. Granted I had to use rEFIt and it was a bit of a pain, most of the difficulty stemmed from the fact that I was dual booting and not totally replacing the OS.
I for one would at least give Windows 8 a chance in the touch environment. On top of that, I'd imagine a lot of bugs using an OS not meant for touch based computing and, without the support for gestures, a bit cumbersome to use. But I guess you'd have to try to find out.
Thank you very much
If I actually win this superb gizmo, I will totally study hard to get a scholarship to Singapore, continue learning to code using HTML5, CSS and/or Android SDK's, making rad musics with Fruit Loops (because my current laptop specs aren't that good to render live audios), more flexibility to design stuff using Adobe Illustrator, play games that I can't play on my current laptop, and lots of things.
But only if I win, which is quite impossible. So far I never won a prize on the internet, ever. So if I somehow win this, I will thank so much to the Almighty God up there and Make Use Of for (if they) give me this awesome giveaway.
Tis a schnexy looking piece of hardware
Best giveaway :)
Hope i win :D

As I mentioned in my previous post regarding the track 'Sandboxing', I used this beat as a song for my unboxing of the new Huawei Watch. Being absolutely honest, these are the best looking smartwatch I have ever seen and used. When it comes to the unboxing, it's an absolutely beautiful experience since the Huawei Watch comes bundled in a luxury box which may remind you more of a traditional watch than a modern electronics. The same applies for the design of the watch itself, whose body is made primarily from 316L Stainless Steel and the Sapphire Crystal that protects the AMOLED screen beneath it. Continue reading

Goal and aims
The IIHMR University, Jaipur has established a Center for Injury Research to enhance understanding and build capacity for injury prevention and control research in India and South Asia.
To realize this goal the following specific aims are proposed:
- To develop a strategic plan for establishing a Center for Injury Research at The IIHMR University, Jaipur. The development of a strategic plan early in year one will be an important step in generating consensus and refining specific elements of the Center at IIHMR.
- To train a critical mass of scientists, health professionals and academics in the principles of injury prevention and control research. The training of researchers whose principal interests lie outside injury will be important for identifying leaders and opportunities for collaboration across disciplines and problem areas.
- To initiate research on injury epidemiology, interventions and program implementation strategies to prevent and minimize the burden of injuries in India. Research studies will be important to expand the injury research literature from India and provide locally relevant examples of interventions and implementation strategies.
- To raise awareness and facilitate dialog among public health professionals as well as the general public in India about the importance of injury research in India. This will help to improve understanding, support and generate viable funding for injury research in India.
- To foster collaboration among injury researchers and other stakeholders within India and establish linkages with the global injury research community. This is critical because injury research requires joint learning and sharing of ideas across disciplines and institutions.

Accidentally deleted all form fields - Missing data in submissionsAsked by mcclanahanstudio on March 02, 2017 at 09:57 AM
I collected name/email/phone as part of a contest I ran and now I need to email the results, but when I log in to "submissions" all I see are dates and IP addresses? I am supposed to announce the contest winner today. Please advise.
JotForm Support
I have checked your form (https://www.jotform.com/70428427866162) and I found out that there are no form fields on it. No name, phone or email fields. Here's a screen capture:
Did you delete the fields? If you deleted the fields, the data associated to it will be deleted as well. You'll see a warning pop-up asking for your confirmation.
Please try using the Form Revision History tool and revert to the previous version of your form wherein the fields are still present. It is possible that value will return together with the form fields.
Here's a guide: How-to-View-Form-Revision-History.
Hope that works. Thank you.
Yes I removed the fields at the end of the contest because we were getting entries once the contest had expired. I didn't realize that would delete the data as well. I received the names / emails / phone #'s entered in the email I received after each entry, so I will just use that!
JotForm Support
Yes, you can also check your emails manually. Like I said, you can try reverting the form back to its previous version and the form submissions will be completed. Here's a guide: How-to-View-Form-Revision-History.
If you have any questions, let us know. Thank you.

Thus the hash function is: h(k) = floor(m * (kA - floor(kA))) In this case, the value of m is not critical and we typically choose a power of 2 so that we can get the following efficient procedure on most digital computers: Choose m = 2p. Multiply the w bits of k by floor(A * 2w) to obtain a 2w bit product. Extract the p most significant bits of the lower half of this product. It seems that: A = (sqrt(5)-1)/2 = 0.6180339887 is a good choice Knuth, "Sorting and Searching", v. 3 of "The Art of Computer Programming" > Increase hash quality of HashPartitioner > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-4827 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4827 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Radim Kolar > Attachments: betterhash1.txt > > > hash partitioner is using object.hashCode() for splitting keys into partitions.

AFBE-UK Scotland is to put the spotlight on wellhead equipment and drilling processes in the offshore oil and gas industry.
The Aberdeen-based not-for-profit group, which encourages people of all ages and backgrounds to consider a career path in the engineering sector – is to host a seminar that will discuss future innovations in wellhead equipment and drilling.
This latest event in AFBE-UK Scotland's Real Projects programme will take place on Thursday, October 27 at the New King's building (NK10) at the University of Aberdeen from 6.30 pm until 8 pm.
The seminar will provide an introduction to wellhead equipment, outlining how tools and equipment are designed and explaining their functions within the drilling process, as well as covering significant innovations in equipment which have improved productivity and led to efficiencies.
The keynote presentation will be given by Brent Harrald, engineering manager for Plexus Ocean Systems in Aberdeen, who presides over an experienced engineering team, leading the design and analysis of wellhead products.
Brent holds a degree mechanical engineering from Houston's Rice University and spent seven years working as a wellhead products design engineer in Texas prior to moving to Aberdeen in 2004.
Dr Ollie Folayan, chair of AFBE-UK Scotland, says, "We're delighted Brent is joining us for this Real Projects seminar and we're looking forward to him sharing his technical expertise on the future of wellhead equipment and drilling. Brent will also give those in attendance an insight into his career progression and offer his advice to the students on how they can best equip themselves to have a successful engineering career."
"These seminars are vitally important as they give students, graduates and professionals an insight into different areas of the engineering industry as well the opportunity to add to their network of contacts," adds Folayan.

Duas Caras (English: Two Faces)[1] is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by Rede Globo from 1 October 2007 to 31 May 2008, replacing Paraíso Tropical and followed by A Favorita. It is created by Aguinaldo Silva and directed by Wolf Maya. Starring Dalton Vigh, Marjorie Estiano, Alinne Moraes, Débora Falabella, Lázaro Ramos, Letícia Spiller, Betty Faria, Flávia Alessandra, Renata Sorrah, Suzana Vieira, and Antônio Fagundes.[2][3][4][5]
It is the first telenovelas to be produced on High-definition by Rede Globo at the 8 pm timeslot.
The telenovela spans through Maria Paula's revenge against Marconi Ferraço, her ex-husband that robbed her of all her inheritance.
In the past, as Adalberto Rangel, he met and seduced Maria Paula. With a calculated coldheart, he married her, stole her fortune, then abandoned her, unaware she was pregnant at the time. Ten years later, accompanied by her son Renato, Maria Paula plots to recover her dignity and to find justice by getting revenge against the indignities done to her.
Adalberto Rangel, born Juvenaldo, lived with his poor father and siblings in a favela. Having no way to sustain the family, his father sold him (a boy) to Hermógenes Rangel, a thief. Some time later, Adalberto decides to make his own fortune without depending on his mentor. He steals all of Hermógenes' money, and flees.
During the escape, a serious car accident occurs, killing a couple. While searching the dead couple's car, Adalberto discovers a suitcase containing money, pictures and personal effects of their daughter. He proceeds to the fictitious city of Passaredo (adapted from São Bento do Sul, Santa Catarina) to meet the orphaned Maria Paula.
Adalberto lies to Maria, telling her that he was asked by her parents to care for her. The heiress's friends try to alert her, but she won't listen. Adalberto asks Maria Paula to marry him. She is swept off her feet by the con man. Not long after the wedding, Adalberto disappears.[6] He leaves Maria absolutely nothing. Adalberto changes his entire life, including his name, home (in Rio de Janeiro) and lifestyle. He even has plastic surgery to change his face. The only person he shares his secret with is Bárbara Carreira – a prostitute to whom he lost his virginity. Adalberto, or Dr. Marconi Ferraço, makes his name as a respectable construction entrepreneur.[7][8]
Some years later, Maria Paula relocates in Rio de Janeiro. She sees a news report about Ferraço, and recognizes him as her husband. She starts to track him down.
With a new identity and a lot of money in his pocket, Ferraço decides to conquer the beautiful Sílvia. She falls in love with the man she knows as Ferraço and accepts his offer of marriage. Maria Paula gatecrashes the engagement party and makes a big scene. Silvia remains engaged to him, and he becomes her first great love. Sílvia and Maria Paula both vie for Marconi Ferraço's attention. It remains unknown whether Maria Paula is interested in love or in revenge. Sílvia is slowly revealed as a psychopath, willing to go to extremes to stay with Ferraço.[9]
Branca, Silvia's mother, discovers on the day following her husband João Pedro's death that he had an extra-marital affair for over twenty years with Célia Mara. Branca assumes her husband's place as the president of the Universidade Pessoa de Moraes. She transforms it in an institution of excellence.
Branca's brother is Paulo Barreto (Barretão), a human rights activist. He is married to Gioconda, a great lady of the carioca society, who is a snob and a gossip. The two are parents of Júlia, a very intelligent and active girl, who fell in love with Evilásio Caó, a black man from the Portelinha favela. Thus, race and class prejudices were revealed in the family.
Portelinha was created from the determination of Juvenal Antena, born leader, smart and compassionate. Juvenal was the head of a builders' union, the GPN, who brought workers from the Northeast. The workers were told that they would receive their fees from the failed company. When the claim proved to be false, they rioted at the injustice. Juvenal resigned his position and joined the workers in their fight. He dreamt of joining those families without a home and creating a community. Though his dream was a big stretch of the imagination, Juvenal met with other demonstrators respected by the group: the Lady Setembrina, the evangelical shepherd Inácio Lisboa, the carpenter Misael Caó, the father of Evilásio and a van owner Geraldo Peixeiro. With the help of Narciso Tellerman, the secretary of State of Social Service and the future deputy, Juvenal organized an invasion of the land owned by the GPN. Fired up by Juvenal's gift for words, they took over the land they wanted. There, the community of their dreams grew: the favela of Portelinha, where there are neither drugs nor violence, and a place where people will never be without.
Marconi Ferraço bought the land of GPN, and he enters into a judicial and moral battle against Juvenal Antena.
In the last few episodes, an alliance between Ferraco and Juvenal begins. Ferraco aids Juvenal in his suit against his godson. Juvenal's opinion of Ferraco changes.[10] He advises Maria Paula to marry Ferraco to recover her money, and for the sake of her and Ferraco's son Renato.[11][12] Renato adores his father, and knows nothing of his dark past.[13]
Hoping to separate Ferraco and Maria Paula, Silvia sends an article concerning Ferraco's fraud to Renato. She starts to lose her mind. The boy fight with Ferraço, but soon forgives her father.[14]
Silvia escapes the mental hospital where she was locked up and kidnaps Renato. She tries to kill Maria Paula and Ferraco, but Ferraço defends his wife. He is reached in place of Maria Paula and the two are reconciled. Silvia escapes without killing anyone, and while she is fleeing she is hit by a car driven by a handsome millionaire. He takes her to live in Paris with him. She contacts her accomplice, Joao Batista, who goes to Paris to work as her driver.
Ferraco confesses his crimes as part of the prenuptial agreement he signs in order to get Maria Paula to marry him again, and he goes to jail for two years. He tells Maria Paula that the only thing he hopes in exchange for his change of heart is to have her and their son waiting for him when he gets out of jail.[15]
Two years later, he gets out and finds that Maria Paula stole all his money and went away with Renato. While he is sitting on a beach, asking himself why would she do that to him after all the proofs he gave of his love for her, he receives a phone call from Maria Paula. She asks him what it feels like to be betrayed. He answers that he never would have believed it of her. She interrupts him and tells him where his plane ticket is, because she is waiting for him with his son.[16]
Ferraco arrives on a beautiful island, and finds Renato walking on the beach. He runs up to him and hugs him. Then, he sees Maria Paula, and asks her what the status is of their relationship. She tells him to stop wasting time and kiss her. Ferraco smiles and kisses her passionately.[17]

Sumner M. Redstone Thank you, Adam. Good afternoon, everyone. I thank you all for being with us today. CBS' performance this quarter was nothing short of amazing. The numbers prove we are operating for our vision of incredible strength, and the momentum keeps building and building and building. We have world-class content that people want to see, and we are delivering it in a way they want to see it. And because our content is so good, it commands a premium on every platform. Our content is the best, actually. As we look ahead, I know we have the right strategy in place to propel CBS even beyond where it is today. I know this because we have a management team that proves me right quarter after quarter after quarter. None of this immense success will be possible without this management team. As you know, the executive in charge of this great management team is Les Moonves, CBS' President and CEO. So it gives me tremendous pleasure to turn this call over to my good friend, Les, a man I speak of an appropriately call him genius, so he can tell you more about our terrific results. Les, the ball is in your court. Leslie Moonves Thank you very much, Sumner. Good afternoon, everybody, and thank you for joining us once again. We told you during our last call that this quarter would be a terrific start to the year. And as you can see from the numbers today, it is. In fact, since we became a stand-alone corporation, we posted record first quarter results in 5 key financial metrics: Revenue was up 12%; OIBDA, up 34%; operating income, up 47%; net income, up 80%; and EPS of $0.54 was up 86%. As you can see, each category had healthy double-digit increases and our best ever for a first quarter.

One of the most talked about facets of gaming today is the use of Season Passes for big name titles. Wherein the customer can prepay a certain amount of money for all or the currently announced future DLC for a game. Downloadable content is something all gamers have learned to live with over the years as the last generation of consoles became always connected and brought the PC style of patches and after release support to the world of Playstation and XBox. You will still hear gamers talk about how games used to come with those sort of items, whether its cosmetic skins or maps, and that may be true but those days are long gone. Now we have gotten into the times where gamers can pay for all the DLC upfront with a Season Pass, without knowing what that will involve, and as we have learned lately not all season passes seem to bring the values that they charge.
I wanted to write about this as the fervor over the recently announced season pass for Star Wars: Battlefront has been talked about not only through TGR, but through friends, the workplace, and all over the internet and its many gaming related sites. Battlefront's developer's DICE announced that the season pass for Battlefront would be $50, with that amount getting you all four planned expansions and access to them a week earlier than a la carte buyers, as well as an exclusive emote. What will be included in those expansions, nobody knows. Battlefront is a multiplayer game only so one could assume that the expansions would include new maps from throughout the movie saga, as well as possibly new Heroes, weapons, emotes, or other cosmetic items. Is that worth $50, and is it worth investing that without knowing exactly what you will get in those four expansions? Only the consumer themselves can say for sure, but let's look at some of the biggest offenders of the season pass, and the one company most gamers said did it right.
The kind of way that season passes should be handled most gamers agree was with the expansive RPG Witcher 3, and it's developers CD Projekt Red. Before the game came out, CDR said that they would be releasing all of the game's DLC for free, as they felt gamers trust them to give them the value in the game that they purchased, and what was added afterwards through DLC was mostly cosmetic items such as new armor or skins, as well as new finishing animations and short side quest missions to complete. When CDR announced they would also have paid DLC after the over 30 free DLC items, they made sure it was to be known as an expansion pack, where the content was added on to the story with over 30 hours of gameplay for the price of $10. Reviews of not just the base game but this first expansion have been stellar, and have been the go to example when people talk about DLC and season passes done right.
The other side to that coin is when season passes are done wrong, either with content or price or a combination of both factors. Again, most gamers would agree that this was unfortunately the case with the season pass of Rocksteady's finale to their Batman trilogy, Arkham Knight. People were really surprised when it was announced that Arkham Knight's season pass would run $40, which is more than the usual AAA season pass, especially for an action game or non-FPS. To combat the sticker shock, it was announced that the $40 season pass would get you six months off add on content, but not much of an idea what that would other than the usual skins and a cryptic villian-centric pack. As the months went on, owners of the season pass got more and more frustrated as the DLC continued to be a skin or two for the characters and Batmobile, maybe a new race or AR training, and occasionally a "story pack". These "story packs" focused on some of the popular side characters of the Batman family but were painfully short and only rehashed a couple fights or predator parts of the main game, and didn't add much to anything to the overarching story. This was deflected by talk that Rocksteady didn't develop that DLC and their first foray would be the Nightwing story pack that actually took place after the events of the main game, leading to alot of excitement from season pass owners who thought this may make them more comfortable about their purchase. Sadly, this story pack followed the same pathetically short rehash, with only a couple of lines of dialogue pointing out it happened post- Arkham Knight. The season pass of Arkham Knight has now, over four months in, in my opinion been a total ripoff.
Which brings us back to Star Wars: Battlefront, and it's $50 season pass. Is that expensive? Absolutely. But it's the same price as the other big name games in that genre, Call of Duty and DICE's own Battlefield series. Those games $50 season passes offer usually four expansions as well, which consists of new maps throughout their different modes as well as the occasional weapon additions as well. The difference I can see between these is that Battlefront doesn't have a single player campaign which tons of people are complaining about. But when it comes to Call of Duty and Battlefield, how many people play the campaign and do they even buy the game for that reason? Those season passes sell a ton, and add a bunch of revenue to their publishers and developers so why wouldn't there be one for Battlefront? With the no campaign argument, they could have not charged the full $60 for the base game but that would never happen. This is Star Wars. This is Battlefront, the game people have clamored for for years. In the end it's all about the value to the consumer, and as someone who has waited for this game I have no qualms about paying $50 for the season pass. Let's just hope it's more like Witcher 3 than Arkham Knight.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with kids.
Nikki is a bobtail! He is a Maine Coon or a Maine Coon mix with his medium length fur and he is a pretty big cat.
Nikki has grey fur with white around his mouth and a dab of white under each eye. He is a very handsome cat. Nikki is very sweet also but still a little shy because he was on his own for so long.
He is neutered, UTD on vaccinations, and negative for FelV. References an adoption fee of $65.
nikki is a bobtail main coon, a brewerton Maine Coon cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Maine Coon for sale in brewerton, or seeking a Maine Coon cat from a breeder in brewerton.
