"iPod Father" Tony Fadell Says "Scott Forstall Got What He Deserved"

Tony Fadell
(Source: i.telegraph.co.uk)
Fadell, who was enemies with Forstall during his time at Apple, wasn't sad to see him go
It's no secret that many Apple executives and employees celebrated
Scott Forstall's recent departure
, but there's one former Apple exec that is especially glad to see him go: Tony Fadell.
Tony Fadell was a huge deal during his days at Apple. He's called the "father of the iPod" because of his work on 18 generations of the device, and even took part in the hardware design of the first iPhone.
However, during his time at Apple, Fadell often went head-to-head with Forstall, the former Vice President of iOS Software. The two constantly fought over attention, credit, and resources, creating an "explosive" environment within the Cupertino headquarters' walls.
Forstall and Fadell were known enemies, and Fadell finally quit the company in 2010 to take on his own pursuits outside of Apple.
So how does Fadell feel about Forstall getting the boot?
"Scott got what he deserved," said Fadell. "I think what happened just a few weeks back was deserved and justified and it happened. If you read some of the reports, people were cheering in Cupertino when that event happened.
"So, I think Apple is in a great space, it has great products and there are amazing people at the company, and those people actually have a chance to have a firm footing now and continue the legacy Steve [Jobs] left."
Forstall was fired last month after working for the company for 15 years. His departure was largely due to the launch of Apple's new maps application, which
turned out to be a nightmare
. Apple
ditched Google Maps
as its main iOS maps app in favor of its own in-house maps service once iOS 6 released in September, but when it launched, there were huge issues with the
geography and navigation
. Apple CEO Tim Cook was even forced to apologize to customers for the disaster.
But Forstall refused to apologize, and continued butting heads with other Apple executives. In late October, Apple finally showed him the door. As Fadell mentioned, many Apple execs and employees cheered his exit.
Just this week, Apple iOS 6 Maps Manager
Richard Williamson was also fired
for the disastrous maps rollout.
While Fadell left a great legacy at Apple and clearly still has opinions about its affairs (he was saddened by the loss of the click wheel on the iPod), he has moved on to his own venture:
Nest is a smart thermostat start-up that was launched by Fadell in 2010 after his exit from Apple. He said he had been studying eco-friendly devices and came up with the Nest thermostat for efficient heating and cooling.
In classic Apple-like fashion, the Nest thermostat has a clean design and can be controlled remotely with a smartphone. It even learns about its environment.
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

It is very important not to rub, massage, shake, or apply physical force to the cold burn tissues in an attempt to rewarm it, since it can be very harmful and is not recommended.
The area need to be rewarmed by immersing the injured arm in a water-bath that is held just above body temperature.
Anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen are recommended for pain control and reduction of the inflammatory process.
Antibiotics, taken orally can prevent infection to occur.
It is best, this cold burn to be evaluated once more by her physician, since some dameges develop after the first day of injury.
Only, her physician can determine the degree of skin damage and the appropriate treatment.
Best wishes!

The Brewers voided their original, signing deadline-spurred pact with their 11th-round righthander because of a pre-existing finger injury. So when Scarpetta signed a second minor league contract that September (this time for 2008), he no longer carried exemption status from the Rule 5 draft.
Milwaukee remedied the situation by adding Scarpetta to the 40-man roster following the 2008 season. (At the time, he had logged just 36 pro innings, all at the Rookie level.) This unusual step has forced the Brewers to option him to the minors in both '09 and '10.
Scarpetta, 22, hopes to make his situation a non-issue by quickly advancing to the big leagues. This spring, in his third big league camp, the 6-foot-3, 240-pound righthander was soaking up as much advice as possible.
"I want to continue to work hard and keep developing," said Scarpetta, a Rockford, Ill., prep product. "You always want to keep working on your game. I try to listen and talk to as many guys as possible, then bring that advice into my game. I've already learned a lot."
Scarpetta ran up a 5.03 ERA in the first half last year as he struggled with his command at high Class A Brevard County. Manatees pitching coach Fred Dabney and minor league pitching coordinator Lee Tunnell helped Scarpetta turn his season around by showing him that he wasn't fully incorporating his lower half in his delivery.
He ironed out his mechanics during bullpen sessions, began throwing harder and proceeded to go 5-5, 3.03 in 15 second-half starts. He finished with 142 strikeouts in 128 innings.
"At the beginning of last season, I was struggling because I wasn't throwing enough strikes," Scarpetta said. "That got me in trouble."
Through 274 pro innings, Scarpetta boasts a strong ratio of 10.4 strikeouts per nine innings, all while allowing just 234 hits.
The Brewers may be granted a fourth option year for Scarpetta in 2012, but they won't know for sure until they apply for it following this season. Thus it would behoove the organization to get him as close to the majors as possible.
"That's my goal, too," he said. "I'm going to work hard to get there."
• Catcher Shawn Riggans, signed to a minor league deal, will miss an undetermined portion of spring training as he battles pneumonia.
• Third baseman Mat Gamel will work in the outfield and at first base this spring because his natural position belongs to Casey McGehee.

The 45,000-member, $275 million Evolve Credit Union, formerly the El Paso Employees Federal Credit Union, has found that supporting its local community and promoting its recent name change has meant reaching out to El Paso's burgeoning art community.
"We have a growing art community in El Paso," explained Evolve spokesman Elisa Terrazas-Arce, "but it's not yet at the tipping point like art might be in a larger metropolitan area like San Francisco. We saw this as an opportunity for us and for the artists."
In sponsoring the show, the CU will place the art work in its Mission Valley Branch, which Terrazas-Arce described as having cathedral ceilings and being particularly well suited to display art. The show will run for a month and the CU will open the branch to members and the public on the show's first night on Jan. 26. The CU will serve refreshments and provide life music at the event, she added.
Terrazas-Arce said that she married an artist and that this had sensitized her to the artistic community's need for venues where their work can be displayed and perhaps sold.
The CU has been collecting pieces for about a month, and she said that about 40 artists would exhibit their work at the month-long show where artists will be able to sell as well as show their work.
But as much as the artists are likely to benefit, Terrazas-Arce explained the CU would benefit as well. Evolve had sponsored the show first last year and there had not been a particular theme, but this year the CU asked artists to submit pieces that were inspired by the word "evolve," the credit union's new name.
The credit union's board and staff began talking name change in 1997 after it was granted a community charter and a media account quoted Evolve CEO Kenneth Walters on why the CU had finally made a decision. "We simply decided that we had been dithering around long enough and needed to make a decision," Walters said.
He said the Evolve name speaks to the changes in financial services the credit union can now offer, including a range of electronic banking products. Terrazas-Arce said the CU wanted the show to help members and the community at large to make the jump from the old name to the new one. El Paso Employees FCU was founded in 1936.
She acknowledged the CU had taken a big step in broadening its field of membership to embrace the broader community as well. That had been part of the reason for the name change in the first place, to make it clear that the CU was there for all.
All the art will have Evolve as a theme or an inspiration, Terrazas-Arce said.

The Food at Azeems is amazing, the best Curry's I have ever tried! (and I have had a few). We went for a meal with 7 of us, most had 3 courses and it came to just over £80. The staff are really inviting and friendly. You feel welcome and not rushed and get served in good time. They have a wide selection of starters, mains and vegetarian options.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The one thing that is important to get straight, right off the top: Butler is not
On the other hand ...
"I just thought they were going to go in,"
"I believe wholeheartedly in these guys," Butler coach
"I've been practicing all week," Nored saad.
OK, so, um, yeah, it is true that Butler's Nored hit two free throws with six seconds in the game. And, it is also true that Nored is not a good free throw shooter -- he was 3-for-12 during the tournament. And it is also true that those two free throws clinched Butler's gutsy 52-50 victory over Michigan State. And yes, Butler is now going to play Duke in the national championship game -- making this the most improbable NCAA tournament run since March went Mad.
But, to get back to the point, no, Butler really is not some absurd, miracle story. The Bulldogs are good. And everyone has known all year they're good. This shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. The Bulldogs were ranked No. 10 in the coach's poll when the season began -- good enough that at least one of the so-called experts picked them for the Final Four before the season began.
The Bulldogs were ranked No. 8 in the coach's poll when the season ended. When the tournament began, they had not lost a game since before Christmas. Nobody knows why they were underseeded fifth -- but that doesn't really matter. The point is that Butler is about as good as anybody, they are not ridiculous underdogs. In fact, they were favored by the oddsmakers to win Saturday's game against Michigan State. So let's not go around saying this story is impossible to believe.
On the other hand ...
"We might not have believed it when we said it in our first team meeting," Stevens said, "but we said, 'You know, if we focus and do our jobs, why can't we play for a national championship.'"
Well, yes, there is the somewhat impossible to believe Brad Stevens story. It is true that Brad Stevens was working in marketing at a pharmaceutical company -- Eli Lilly in 2000 -- when he got this crazy dream that he wanted to coach basketball. And it is also true that he spent the first summer of his dream doing odd-jobs at Butler, so odd the media guide simply describes his role like so: "He served in a volunteer capacity in the basketball office." That sounds like the job
It is also true that Stevens worked up from that vague volunteer work to the almost-as-vague coordinator of basketball operations, to assistant coach to head coach in seven years. On the day he was hired as head coach, he was 30 and a corsage short of looking like he was going to the prom.
And it is also true he won 30 games his first season, led his team back to the tournament his second, and though he looks as young as ever, his team is as well-coached as any in America. With three minutes left in Saturday's game, Butler led by three, and Stevens was matched up against Michigan State's
Still, you can't call these Butler guys miracle workers. You just can't. They're tough. They defend like crazy. They have played five NCAA Touranment games so far, and they have not yet allowed a team to score 60. On Saturday, the Bulldogs scored two field goals in the final 12 minutes, shot 30.6 percent for the game, and had just five assists
Put it this way: When the game ended, Izzo would call it one of the most physical games his teams had ever been involved in -- which is a bit like
"They get their hands on a lot of balls," Michigan State's
Defense like that wins championships. This is a team of tough and talented players, so it's time to stop saying Butler is a lottery-ticket long shot for the title.
On the other hand ...
"We just believe in each other,"
And it's true their next-best player might be
So, OK, yes, this really is a fabulous story. This is a team of moderately talented high school players who have come together and improved and believed. This is a team of players with ridiculous defensive will -- when someone asked Nored if he ever got worried because Butler could not put the ball in the basket in the last 10 minutes, he shrugged and said: "I knew that if we didn't score and they didn't score, we win." This is a team that outmuscled Kansas State and beat down Michigan State.
And even Izzo in the moments after his team lost -- when he was clearly disappointed in the loss, proud of his team's effort, angry about the officiating -- said, "I love this Butler story." How can you not? The Bulldogs play Duke Monday in what looks like the ultimate battle of Giant and

Ferentz on McCall
Early last season, recruiting analyst Tom Lemming wrote a blog post that named Mika'il McCall one of the top big backs in the country.
The 6-foot, 215-pounder, however, doesn't put himself in the "big back" class.
"I qualify myself as an average back," said McCall, who rushed for 1,328 yards and 14 TDs at Thornridge (Ill.) High School last fall. "I don't weigh that much, I'm probably just stronger than what a back is supposed to be. I think I'm much faster than the average big back.
"I don't really classify myself as a bigger back, I classify myself as a running back."
So does Iowa.
McCall was one of four running backs signed in the 2011 recruiting class. McCall joins Rodney Coe, a bona fide big back at 255 pounds, and late signees Jordan Canzeri and Damon Bullock.
McCall doesn't classify himself as a big back, but his weightroom numbers put him in that neighborhood — a 405-pound bench press and a squat max of 550.
Links -- Here is a piece on McCall's recruiting from the Northwest (Illinois) Times. "He just felt it was not a good fit, maybe a matter of trust," [Thornridge coach Mike] Morrissey said. "I think Iowa will be a good fit for Mika'il. He will have a chance to play right away and contribute. Everyone knows what a great athlete he is and I think he can help (Iowa) Coach (Kirk) Ferentz and the Hawkeyes."
Three most interesting bio items -- 1) Rushed for 1,328 yards and 14 touchdowns as a senior. 2) Father, Oliver, is former heavyweight boxing champion. 3) Rushed for 1,072 yards and 10 touchdowns as a freshman.
Ferentz on -- With only two running backs on scholarship, it was a critical need in the 2011 class.
"It was a big need for us," recruiting coordinator Eric Johnson said.
"Mika'il McCall was the first one to jump on board. He was a kid who was committed somewhere else. Came to a bunch of our games. So, we asked if he was sincerely interested in us. He said he was. So, we opened the door to recruit him at that time. He was a guy we felt very strongly about, but we wanted to do a little bit more research before we ended up offering him a scholarship. We felt comfortable offering and we feel he's going to be a tremendous football player.
"He really has deceptive speed. I don't think people know how fast he really is. Good speed, power back. Reminds you of a guy we've had here before in that respect."
Projection is fun -- A unique combination of power and speed, McCall is built for Big Ten running back.
How soon? Iowa signed four running backs, so it depends how many are ready in year 1. I could see McCall, Rodney Coe and either Jordan Canzeri or Damon Bullock playing in '11.

Tailgating Information
Tailgating at Emory & Henry
Every home-game Saturday, an alcohol-free tailgating lot will be located next to Stewart French House. There is no charge to park here. There is an alcohol-permitted lot next to the baseball field: there is a charge of $10 per car to park here. Tailgating in the area next to the duck pond will be permitted only on Homecoming Saturday: there is a charge of $10 per car to park here. All three of these lots are "first-come, first-served" and do not open until 4 hours prior to kickoff. The fees will help cover an increased use of our facilities, satisfy ABC license costs, and better support our E&H student-athletes. All profits will go directly to E&H athletics.
There are also reserved spaces for tailgating in the new paved lot behind the stadium. See below for those details.
Due to ABC license restrictions, none of the alcohol-permitted tailgate parking lots can open for parking until four hours before kickoff on home-game Saturday mornings (please note time). These lots will need to be cleared no later than 2 hours after the conclusion of the game.
RVs will not be permitted on any tailgate field. Please note that drones are not permitted on campus without written permission from someone in the campus police office. Any dogs brought onto campus must be on a leash and must be cleaned up after. No dogs are permitted in the stadium or gym. Grills are permitted, but not open fires.
Reserved Tailgate Spots
E&H is now offering reserved tailgate spots in the paved parking area behind the football stadium.
A tailgate spot is the equivalent of two parking spaces. Advantages to reserving a tailgate spot include a paved surface, and a reserved spot that allows you to arrive any time you wish on game day.
The cost for most tailgate spots is $150. However, there are seven premium-reserved spots that have a particularly good view of the football field, and these spaces are available for $250 each. This charge does not include tickets or passes and this fee is not tax deductible. This one-time fee will guarantee your reserved spot for this entire football season; however, your spot is not guaranteed for future seasons. You will be assigned a specific location to park and your car must have proper identification to be admitted into the reserved tailgate lot. Alcohol is permitted in this lot as are tents and grills. This lot will open four hours before kickoff, and the lot must be cleared 2 hours after the conclusion of the game.
