Blu-ray vs HD DVD: let the thieves decide
24th Jul 2007 | 23:00
Criminals only steal stuff they know they can sell
A break-in at an independent music and movie store in Seattle on Sunday tells us more about the battle between HD DVD and Blu-ray than any amount of spin doctoring by their respective camps.
To put it simply, the criminal gang that broke into Silver Platters stole $7,000 (£3,500) of Blu-ray discs across all genres... and then left with the HD DVD racks untouched.
"They seemed to know what they wanted," Silver Platters vice president Mike Batt told the Seattle Post Intelligencer .
US site the DVD Dossier confirmed that the shop "still has a good selection of HD DVDs, as none were taken".

Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?***edit***Too bad about that, youtube doesn't seem to have a clip of "the IT crowd" saying "Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?". Not one you can link to anyway.
You are referring to Power Options Properties/Advanced button. I have not looked at that tab in over six years. I set it the day I got the computer (all of Power Options) exactly as I have set all computers set since my first one. I didn't remember there is a box there for Power Button. It says "Ask Me What to Do". I have never been asked what to do on the few occasions I have been forced to use the Power button when the computer is on. I have never been asked what to do on the rare occasions where I have the computer turned off and have to use the power button to start it. So, I guess that doesn't work. I have never used the power button on any computer when it is on (which is 99.9% of the time) except when a lockup has occurred and it is the only thing I can do. I rarely use the power button to turn the computer on because I rarely turn it off.The only time I ever look at anything to do with Power Settings is if my screensaver or the monitor acts up. Screen saver and Stand down for the monitor were a mess on 98SE but that was due to buggy programs like one from American Express that had hardware attached to the computer preventing Stand down (monitor only) and to Power Savings itself...I recall having to uninstall and reinstall Power Savings many times on 98SE. Then on my first XP computer, the monitor would never turn off but that turned out to be an nVidia bug and was eventually fixed. After it was fixed, many years ago, I never needed to look at any of that after setting it up on the first day on a computer. My screensavers rarely act up on XP.I recall Vista and Windows 7 have a HORRIBLE power savings interface. It took way too long, in Win 7 public beta I had, to get Windows set up like in my other computers for Power Savings. I was treated like I was about two years old and totally without any understanding of Windows and had to wade through a ton of junk to be able to set Power Savings up. Power Savings in XP is far superior as it is very fast to set up.I remember Windows 7 actually scolded me for setting it up the way I wanted it. That was ridiculous. I have that ridiculousness to look forward to when I get a new computer. Edit: This is hilarious. I checked one of my virtual XP machines that I have had since 2006. Evidently, I NEVER ONCE looked at the Advanced button on Power Options Properties on it. I did set Power Schemes on it though. I know I never looked at the Advanced button because it has the box next to "ask for password on resume from standby" checked. I have no password on it and I would never check that box. Under "Power Button" it has "shut down". I never would choose that option either.--When governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.

Not in my XP systems you didn't.Power button = clean shutdown without user interaction.I've got an old XP system in the basement, maybe I'll check it this weekend.
Yep. I have been telling you that you are wrong because you are wrong. When I press the power button (briefly) the computer is supposed to ask me what to do. No computer has ever "asked me what to do". The computer is non responsive ...unless I push for longer and then it does a nasty shutdown.Explain to me how my computer is supposed to shut down gracefully, and without my intervention, if I have the setting on "ask me what to do"? Also, explain to me why my computer (or any computer) has NEVER asked me what to do. "Ask me what to do" is the most logical of the choices one can make but it doesn't work. Are you saying that "ask me what to do" works on your XP Pro computer? If so, then tell me how to get it work on mine.Hibernate also does NOT work on any of my computers running XP. Hibernate works ONLY if I use Power Chute software, and it will put the computer into hibernation (and bring it out), if there is a power outage. But Hibernate as part of Power Savings, withOUT Power Chute installed, and USB connection used between APC UPS and the computer, does NOT work on XP. It works on Vista but not XP.Edit: Simple Google search found sites saying things like this:"Selection of Ask me what to do will display the shut down menu when power button will be pressed. Thats all you need to make the shut down menu appear when power button is pressed in Windows XP. "But I have NEVER gotten the shut down menu when the power button is briefly pressed and the computer is not hopelessly locked and that is on more than one computer running XP. Power Savings is slightly better in XP than in 98SE but still is not very good because Hibernation also doesn't work, some other settings don't work, and programs like nVidia drivers can completely mess up Power Savings.--When governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. Thomas Jefferson
Yeah, I discovered that option from subsequent chit-chat. I think it can't be the default, since I've never used it, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
You previously claimed to only use the power button if your computer is "locked up", and pretty obviously, nothing is going to work if your computer is locked up. So we can immediately ignore your complaints that the option doesn't do anything when the computer is not working.Pretty obviously, if the computer is working, it does not shut down without intervention if you have configured it to ask for intervention. (I will cop to prior ignorance of the ask-me setting, which I think is not the default).Pretty obviously, the computer cannot shut down gracefully, or even ask you about shutdown, if it has already crashed (=totally ungraceful shutdown) or locked up (=isn't responding to input).As for whether 'ask me' works when not locked up, you don't have to take my word for it, Dcotor Olds has already said that it does.As for why it never works on your computers - because your computers are different to everyone else's, and are plagued by weird problems that no-one else seems to experience.As for hibernate - entirely different issue, though the previous comment applies as well.
As for why it never works on your computers - because your computers are different to everyone else's, and are plagued by weird problems that no-one else seems to experience.
"Ask me what to do" is the most logical of the choices...
If I wanted the OS to ask me questions, I'd use the illogical *Start* button to shutdown/sleep/whatever.
Good point!Our current standard desktop has the front USB ports right beside the power button and some of my users have inadvertently hit the power button while removing a USB stick. Since there are several USB ports in a row, I advise them to use the one furthest from the power switch.I've also turned off my laptop by accident simply wiping the dust off. Still, given the number of times that I deliberately want to turn it off versus the odd time I might inadvertently do so, I'd rather not get asked.--Strange as it seems, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it. -- Stephen Vizinczey
This is where we differ. I want as FULL control as possible (without that control driving me insane...example being some of the more current classic HIPS programs compared to Process Guard) so I would rarely choose "automatic" shutdown or or other options that bypasse my control. You want an easy/lazy solution which is fine (it what 95% of computer users want as they hate computers per se but like what they can do with one) but I don't want that.I always choose 'ASK ME anytime for the OS, or browsers, or other programs such as my Antivirus Program when given that choice. (I won't use an Antivirus program that does not give me control and many today do not including Norton that folks here argue does but it doesn't). I don't even allow Process Guard to act automatically most of the time. I WANT it to ask to me EACH TIME how handle a program etc that wants to start on my computer. I don't trust AUTO crap as you NEVER know when setting something that way will come back to bite you really bad.--When governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. Thomas Jefferson
1 recommendation
Again the gratuitous bad-mouthing of anyone who likes anything different to you. "Lazy". "They hate computers". Where does all this bitterness come from?In any case, a power button that shuts down the computer without asking whether you really want to shut down the computer seems unlikely to "come back to bite you really bad". And it certainly doesn't prevent you from still using the on-screen method (Start->Shutdown etc.) when you want something different.
This is where we differ. I want as FULL control as possible...
Did you watch the video to the very end? One of the IT guys yells the exact line you mention to the remote operator of a bomb disposal robot that is not responding to commands and is running the Vista OS.
Of course, most folks hate computers. My friends all say they do. They don't want to have to learn how to use them properly. I too don't want to have to learn about some things. I had to master my complicated remote control for my new Samsung HD Smart TV. (User's manual is over 300 pages). I don't want to have to also master the remote for a set top box from my cable company, and remember all the settings on both remotes, and be able to access on both in the dark...tiny buttons, etc. So, I don't have a set top box. I get the local broadcast channels (and a few others) via clear QAM (although that will end in the next year or so probably). I can use my Samsung remote.I don't want to have to learn how to use a tiny cellphone that strips me of all privacy and may give me cancer. So, I don't buy a cellphone. I don't miss having one at all.So, I don't understand why folks (outside of school or business) think they have to have a computer. They don't and if they have no interest in learning how to use one properly then why buy one? Spend your money on something you will enjoy more and find more interesting and not frustrating. I know quite a few folks here who choose not to have personal computers or cell phones that have internet access. They don't feel computers/internet accessible cellphones are essential to a happy life.You have never done anything accidentally? There should always be checks and balances. Hence, a prudent user would put the computer on "ask me what to do" if they hit the power button. (I'm talking about desktops only. I don't have experience with laptops so they may be different). A prudent user would always use the Start button to shut down as that way you have choices. But then this entire discussion is rather silly because who shuts down a desktop? They generally should run 24/7/365 except when the owner is on a vacation/trip of more than a few days.--When governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. Thomas Jefferson
Thank you for explaining about the press and release not working if I am looking at a BSOD.I noticed further in this thread that you mentioned ACPI being related to the correct shutdown.I ran an energy test on this computer a few months ago and it mentioned this:"Platform Power Management Capabilities:PCI Express Active-State Power Management (ASPM) DisabledPCI Express Active-State Power Management (ASPM) has been disabled due to a known incompatibility with the hardware in this computer."Does that have anything to do with this?Sincerely, Libra

Ayi Jihu inspiring to achieve at Raymond Cree Middle school in Palm Springs
Watching hundreds of kids enthralled, listening to the experience of a young Chinese girl who fought against all the odds to become a star was truly something to behold. Having seen and reported on Ayi Jihu's Canadian experience with kids in schools I like many others wondered just how the American youngsters would handle her. What we all discovered is that wherever she goes and whoever she speaks to the reaction is more or less the same: People are inspired.
Ayi Jihu is an honest, accessible star, No Bodyguards or limo's, no fanfare, no passing out of CD's or merchandise, no pluggin of a forthcoming single or album. Ayi just turns up and talks to the kids from the heart, she ask them for nothing but a moment of their time to hear her story and to be motivated by it. She wants them to know that if she can, they can.
I have seen this kind of response before, but it is usually reserved for superstars like Michael Jackson, Not many stars reach their fans on an emotional level also. To see kids respond to an artist who before today they had not even heard of in this way is quite extraordinary. Whether it's the lines of boys standing in turn just to get hug or to ask her to sign their arms, hands or school books, or the throngs of girls getting up from their seats to dance to her songs and circle around her as though she was the answer to all their questions. I have never quite seen anything like it. However what struck me most was seeing young girls in tears as she spoke, girls who seemingly before now did not feel anyone quite understood what they were going through. Ayi Jihu had hit a nerve for sure and as she spoke to these kids from different cultures and backgrounds she could see looking back at her was a room full of 'Ayi Jihu's'.
Just the reaction to the Fear Chaser Trailer alone tells you much, her first lines in the trailer speak of her loneliness and exclusion when she first arrived to the West and you could see the reaction of some in the Audience. You could see them thinking, 'yeah that's how I feel'.
During her Q&A Session the kids hands just kept popping up. Too many questions, not enough time. They hung on every word. As the word spread, more and more students kept coming, more teachers, more people. Something special was going down in the Auditorium.
As a Woman of Action representing A Celebration of Women Foundation Inc Ayi Jihu is focused on helping women, young and otherwise around the world in anyway she can, but not at the expense of leaving the boys out. Her approach is balanced realizing that Great women need great men and visa versa. So although Ayi Jihu is a Woman and a Chinese one at that it seems that she has more in common with many of the students than we would first believe. When the students hear of her journey from a small village in China to the West, of how her aunt risked her life to get her there all they can see is not a Chinese girl, but someone who has overcome and made good and they want to be just like her.
What the entertainment world is slow to see as the system clings on to old ways, old messages and old values is what these kids see straight away. They are looking for stars they can believe in, stars who offer more than a dream for the few, Star who give as a way of being rather than who give as a way of not feeling so guilty about all they have. Ayi Jihu's message is not pop idol or X Factor, it is not reality TV or fast track secrets to making it. It is not just for those who want to be singers, dancers or entertainers, it is for everyone and it is very simple. Hard work and humility are the keys to success at whatever you which to achieve in life. Giving while you get, not after you get, paying it forward, the mantra of A Celebration of Women Foundation Inc and its founder Catherine Anne Clark. It is a message teachers are happy to have preached in their schools, as they try to combat the fast track mentality that is embedded in their students through the media. Ayi Jihu is a role model they can actually use and refer to.

Yves Saint Laurent menswear f/w 2012
Stefano Pilati's last menswear show for Yves Saint Laurent focused on power's fashion-friendly handmaidens: sex and money. Pilati managed to weave his themes into the heritage of the house. Back in the days when sex ruled the underground, it was, according to Pilati, more powerful than money. Now there's no more underground, but there are still photos of Saint Laurent in the seventies, looking and feeling transgressive in his big black coat. So that was where Pilati took his collection.
The setting he created was the place where sex and money came to play—the art world. A huge Twombly-esque chalkboard backdrop was actually a smudgy transcript of a Warhol interview. The staticky electronica of Scanner on the soundtrack was collaged with art-world legend Sam Wagstaff discussing the mechanics of collecting. And the style of Wagstaff's boyfriend, the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, slowly insinuated itself into the show.

Knowing The Enemy: Jihadist Ideology
The college blog, Campus Reform, recently posted several video interviews of Harvard students. Students were asked, "What is a greater threat to world peace, ISIS or America?" Several of the students answered, "America." The emotions I felt when seeing and hearing this were shock, heartbreak, rage, bewilderment, and sorrow. How could students bright enough to attend one of the world's most esteemed universities believe that America is a bigger threat to world peace than ISIS? Did ISIS send aid to Haiti? Is ISIS assisting with the EBOLA crisis in Africa? How many oil wells in the middle east has ISIS… Continue reading
Al Qaeda & Isis; What's the difference?
A frequently asked question is what's the difference between Al Qaeda and Isis, and that question is quickly followed with why does it matter.
Most westerners don't understand theocracy; a government in which there is no separation between church and state. Most Moslem countries are not simply countries in which the citizens are mostly Moslem, they're countries in which the laws and culture are dictated by the Moslem religion.
Al Qaeda essentially wants the government of the respective Moslem countries to adhere to a set of religious rules that are very restrictive for Moslems and often times deadly for those… Continue reading
Fighting terrorism is much akin to the effort to eradicate Ebola, or any disease. Addressing those who are infected and stopping the spread must occur simultaneously—and both are equally important.
The metric of success isn't the numbers that have died—it's the number saved. The risk of doing something far outweighs the risk of doing nothing.
America's troops have and are deployed to regions known to be centers of training for terrorist. That's the eradication front. Pulling out before eradication is complete simply allows the disease to once again gain hosts and spread.
It's complicated and I don't understand all that… Continue reading
Charles Walgreen Flies the coop!

What's Ira Biffel got to do with Charles Walgreen? Glad you asked.
After leaving Missouri Ira Biffel spent time in the US Army and is credited with being one of the first pilots to use an aircraft in the armed services, thus helping start what is now known as the US Air Force. That was during WWI.
Ira became known as one of America's best flight instructors, which is why… Continue reading
Taxes, Inversion, Avarice, Degree, JFK
The United States government is totally dependent on fees and tax revenue. Taxes and fees are made possible by income. Income is made possible by profit. Profit is derived through capitalism. The primary goal of a capitalist is maximizing profit. In an effort to maximize profit, their job, capitalist charge the highest price possible. The maximum price is usually determined by competitive pressure or government regulation.
Highly successful capitalist are occasionally accused of avarice. Consumer choice is the deciding factor of the existence of avarice. If the consumer has a choice in the market then the supplier is honestly facing… Continue reading
Epistemology: Theory of Truth or Knowledge?
Ever wonder why some people us a big word when a little one will do? I came across the word epistemology and before looking up the meaning felt more than a little disdain for the author. But after learning the true meaning of the word, I understood why it had been used.
Writers, unlike tent-revival preachers, are taught to use as few words as possible. It's much easier to toss a book aside than it is to get up and walk out of a tent revival. Writers must be succinct. The bloviating speakers aren't relegated to tent-revivals—they've been known to… Continue reading
Flummoxed, Frustrated, but not Fooled
The top 500 companies in America grew their profits last year by 31.7%. Meanwhile, they added only .7% to their workforce. Wal-Mart, the nation's revenue leader kept their headcount level. Why all of this record growth with little or no addition to the workforce?
Earlier this year the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Hobby Lobby vs. Sebelius case. Hobby Lobby is faced with what some would call a moral dilemma. Hobby Lobby wishes to provide healthcare for their workforce of over 22,000. But they don't choose to offer coverage for aborticant drugs. Their choice is to either drop… Continue reading
Ethanol's Impact
Due to my relationship with Stihl, I'm frequently asked about ethanol. I have two responses, one short, the other long. The short answer is, "it can be bad for your small engine."
"That's what I thought," some say. Most ask for further detail, such as, "What do you mean by 'can' be bad?" And I explain that if the blend is 10% or less ethanol and the fuel is used within a month or so, then it's probably okay. I then confuse the issue by adding that even though the fuel pump lists 10% ethanol, some fuel has tested as… Continue reading
The Exponential, Extra Special, Bonus Savings Conundrum
You've seen the advertisements touting a savings. And in some cases the savings is "special," and occasionally "extra special." Sometimes the ad's creator, thinking the potential customers are old enough to remember how to do math, will include the percent the item is discounted—"Prices slashed 50%," or for those who learned math by using a calculator, "Prices reduced-Save $100."
To save is to keep someone or something safe. Is it possible to save money when making a purchase? If so, what was kept safe? I guess if one arrived at the store and had intended to pay $100 for something… Continue reading
Common Core: Why?
Common Core Standards now control the majority of testing and curriculum of America's public schools. The architects of common core claim the goal is to increase the career and college readiness of America's primary school students. Having spent considerable time researching common core, I'm now more perplexed than when I began. Common Core is very vague, which makes the specifics difficult to debate.
The primary reason I'm not a fan of common core has little to do with what's called for in common core. It's the common part that has me vexed. Who wants to be common? Education should be… Continue reading

From ICQ launch in 1996 to Whatsapp acquisition by Facebook in 2014, instant messaging has come a long way. Realtime messaging is now ubiquitous. There is tens of messaging clients on mobile app stores for iOS and Android. And this does not even count the products that have added messaging as a convenience feature for their users.
It means today messaging has become so ubiquitous, that it is seen by mobile app developers, both as a must-have feature and a commodity. However, there is a paradox: such commodity is still a very complex service to build.
ProcessOne team has been working on messaging projects since 1999. We have developed ejabberd, the most popular standard base XMPP server, powering tens of thousands of deployments around the world, from the smallest to the largest ones. However, messaging, scalability, high availability, XMPP protocol intricacies, many factors concur to still make deploying a messaging service a complex business.
Our goal is now to solve the messaging service paradox by leveraging our experience to make messaging platform affordable to all companies, no matter the scale they would like to target.
As a first step toward making messaging ubiquitous, we are launching today a service (in beta) to provide our ejabberd Business Edition as a pure Software Service (SaaS). This will allow companies of all size to launch messaging platforms in a matter of days. Our platform will grow with them at an affordable and predictable price, so that we can remove them the pain of finding a sustainable business model for their messaging features. Startup and brands can now all target even large users base and still control their costs.
The service is launched today in beta: ejabberd SaaS
If you want to experiment with the platform from a developer perspective, guided by ProcessOne team, you can join our Developer Event in Paris on the 4th of December: SeaBeyond]]>
Sea Beyond event will happen on the 4th of december 2014. This year focus is "Real-time Technologies for Push and Chat on Mobile".
As during previous edition, we have split the schedule in two distinct parts.
People loved that approach during the previous editions, as the event is thus open to all kind of skills and is focused on makers.
The programme is still to be defined, but you can expect to play, experiment and learn about exciting and innovative use cases around mobile, chat and push services.
We still have a few more weeks to put the final touch on the programme and prepare to surprise you. Stay tuned !
Read more on the official Sea Beyond page: SeaBeyond 2014
It the meantime, you can watch last edition summary video:]]>
This is a version improving compliance with iOS 7 (and introduce a new and lighter design). It also improves networking stack and time to connect / retrieve messages.
It also fixes a long standing crash issue on launch that could sometime happen.
It can be downloaded from Apple App Store: TextOne on Apple AppStore.]]>
ejabberd Community 14.07 includes several improvements and many bugfixes over the previous 14.05 release:
Carbon Copy (XEP-0280)
Stream Management (XEP-0198)
Install and config
And many bugfixes all over the source code.
This release requires at least Erlang/OTP R15, and works perfectly with R16B03, and will work with R17 if Riak support is disabled (–disable-riak).
When building from Git, "make install" now fails if you do not run "make doc" before due to doc/guide.html no longer being in the repo. If you don't have necessary tools to build the guide, just pick the one from ejabberd sources tarball.
As usual, the release is tagged in the Git source code repository on github
The source package and binary installers are available at ProcessOne

Brands and businesses that develop mobile applications must be aware of the demands and limits of an increasingly sophisticated mobile audience, build a communications strategy that spans the appropriate communications channels, and play to the strength of each channel.
In-App communication gathers as a whole three mobile oriented channels:
Together, they form the three main components of brand realtime user relationship management on mobile. Today, those three approaches are your best bet to establish a strong communication channel that provides a real value to your users.

Naive implementation logs all events (let say, user connection), either on memory or disk, and count number of unique entries in the log on a given time frame by removing duplicates.
Well, this is really consuming and can not scale on real server handling millions of user. Better take the probabilistic estimation way… and here comes a very impressive algorithm.
Back in 2007, a team at INRIA published a paper about an efficient algorithm for estimating the number of distinct elements, known as the cardinality, of large data ensembles. This paper by Philippe Flajolet, Éric Fusy, Olivier Gandouet and Frédéric Meunier can be found here.
There are many blogposts about it already, but this paper is worth reading to make your day !
The HyperLogLog algorithm is just genius thanks to uncommon approach that make it require only few Kilobytes of data to give an accurate cardinality estimation on large sets. Basically, the idea is to rely on probability of distribution of user id numeric representation (hashes).
The HyperLogLog algorithm works for maximal cardinalities in the range [0..109] while handling a number of registers (m) in the range [24..216].
Of course, using less registers reduce computing time and memory use, at cost of cardinality estimation precision.
So, what is best value of m (number of registers) for my need ?
Well, that all depends ! Of course, we will run it on huge production services, so it must be fast. It also must be accurate in most cases.
From the original paper, we have an estimation of the standard error of the algorithm:
Let σ ≈ 1.04/√m represent the standard error; the estimates provided by HYPERLOGLOG
are expected to be within σ, 2σ, 3σ of the exact count in respectively 65%, 95%, 99%
of all the cases.
|σ 2σ 3σ
|±3.25% ±6.50% ±9.75%
|±2.30% ±4.60% ±6.90%
|±1.62% ±3.26% ±4.89%
|±1.15% ±2.30% ±3.45%
|±0.81% ±1.62% ±2.43%
|±0.57% ±1.14% ±1.71%
|±0.40% ±0.81% ±1.23%
Let say one need cardinality approximation ±~3%, with a trust level of 95%.
One can get cardinality ±3.26% using only 4096 registers.
Now if i want error <2% with a trust level of 99%, I must use 215 or 216 registers.
Let's play with the erlang implementation available on github thanks to Shyun Yeoh (vaxelfel).
First, let's check how much Erlang VM memory is needed to store one hyperloglog record, given number of registers m
|memory in bytes
The memory consumption is approximative, and depends on default heap size and other low level memory parameters. But it gives the big picture anyway.
At last, let's try to update an HyperLogLog record one million time with unique values, and report time and error margin:
Without surprise, the consumed time in HyperLogLog update is almost proportional to data structure size in memory, at one exception.
When using m=216, there is an approximate 5x speedup on this implementation. I guess this is related to some binary matching optimization on Erlang VM but I could not get measures clearly stating this.
A production server never run on its own. The magic with HyperLogLog algorithm is that merging data from different servers is possible as long at they run with the same hash function and the same number of registers.
The resulting estimate of merged data gives cardinality for whole cluster. Bravo !
For rapid cardinality estimation using Erlang implementation, there is two main use of HyperLogLog:
However, I can comment on the Smartwatch Google gave to Google I/O attendees. I picked LG Watch and gave a try over two days on Android Wear. I picked this one over the other option, Samsung Gear Live, because I was told it would not be very compliant with a non-Samsung device (I use a Nexus 5).
The software is somewhat nice. This is basically a quick access to Google Now: simply making it more accessible may increase its usefulness. Integration with an Android phone is ok. The watch is especially nice for notifications and I was thrilled seeing BBC Sport World Cup goal alerts on my wrist. Application do not have to make any special change to display their notifications on the watch.
However, there is a big catch. Wearing the device hurts. Wearing the LG strap is really painful for my wrist, and various attempt at adjusting it did not help. After wearing it for a while, all I want is removing it to ease the pain. That's what I did now. I just got back to using my phone as before, by watching its screen when I need to.
I (almost) gave up after a couple of days.
If Google (Or Apple) expects to be successful in wearable, they need to focus on a perfect, flawless user experience. The device itself should be pleasure and the added value must be obvious.
Users expectation are going to be very high. From watches to glasses, in wearable computing, "good enough" is simply not enough.
… And it looks that I am not the only one to think so. You can read excellent Ben Thompson article for more: Android where?
But, as I still ponder the overall implications of the conference, I wanted to share some of my initial thoughts and debunk two misunderstandings.
My first comments are about the gap in understanding by the general media regarding this conference. In France, for example, Le Monde, one of the major French newspapers, wrote that Apple is refreshing its iOS, but no revolution has been announced. This was a common pattern found in the non-technical press.
This fails to measure how radical the change in iOS and OSX was for the development community. Apple did open a new set of API, allowing interapplication communication and custom widgets for the notification center. It also created a new language to improve the overall platform for developers. More generally, most of the 100+ talks at WWDC were about granting more power to developers on various levels, improving API, and solving common and old technical limitations. Example from a random conference: Core data performance has been improved on two use cases—batch update and async fetch. This announcement alone is a reply to a complaint on core data performance for mass record changes; see On switching away from Core Data by Brent Simmons.
At the conference, there was general agreement that nearly all the wishes and complaints from Apple developers had been satisfied. Some said it was the most important Apple developer event in 10 years, with beta testing, performance, more powerful API, and even a new modern language called "Swift". In a single week, the Apple development landscape radically changed. Marco Arment, a high-profile developer, noted that Apple opened new territory. Casey Liss said that during this conference, Apple changed its mindset, and its new message was about building a platform together with the development community.
WWDC is a developer conference, and it is getting back to its roots. The media was expecting hardware or software announcements. Apple has announced new hardware in the past at WWDC (examples are iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4) but was disappointed by announcements targeted at the developer community. However, it happens that the developers are the ones building the ecosystem. What Apple gives them is the tools that will make the platform much better and more powerful in the coming years. It will take a while to have everyone notice, but it is a profound change. This is a seed to improve the application ecosystem on iOS for the coming years.
Apple surprised the public with an announcement of a brand-new programming language. Despite it having being in development for four years, Apple managed to keep the secret until now. Launching a new programming language will have a huge impact on the development community. For developers, it was like Christmas in June.
That said, the impact was, again, largely misunderstood. It was described as a way to make the development with iOS simpler and accessible to more developers. However, having assisted at many talks on Swift, it is clear to me that the goal is not to appeal to a mass of new developers. Google is using Java—one of the most taught languages in the world—on this platform, and there is no way to compete with the ubiquitous knowledge of that platform among developers. Code factories are mostly based on Java skills, and Java is a programming language with a massive amount of manpower behind it.
What Apple proposes with Swift is that it be a language that is efficient, making it very adequate for mobile environments. It also is a language that is much more expressive and enjoyable to write than Objective C, the existing de facto language for iOS and OSX programming.
What Swift is not is a simple language. It is extremely expressive and powerful—and, as such, it requires a deep understanding of many programming paradigms (object oriented, functional). Developing for iOS and OSX requires knowledge of the many features available in the frameworks. No matter how you express your code, learning those frameworks takes time. You will still need a great deal of skills to write mobile apps.
Swift is there because Apple wants to help attract good developers—not simply a mass of developers. Apple wants to appeal to developers that are constantly looking for a better way to express their code and improve the performance and maintainability of their software.
Reading the first articles and analysis on Swift is by no means about "writing iOS or OSX software in 21 days". It is profound how the articles analyze the influence and semantics of the language, and what design choices were made. For example, these are the first thoughts from the original lead developer of Rust, a language that was an inspiration for Swift. This is an example of the type of articles coming from professionals that want to use a state-of-the-art programming environment in a practical way. For example, Evan Miller explains how he found it more practical than Haskell, while inheriting some of its benefit in his piece, Swift impressions. Haskell is a language acclaimed for its properties, but it is often said to be used more in academic environments than by programmers for typical mobile or web software.
With Swift, what Apple wants is to do is attract and keep the best mobile developers working on iOS.
I will write more later on implications and expected improvements for ProcessOne and Boxcar software. I need time to think more about all the pieces of information I gathered during five days of talks and discussion with developers.]]>

Health Law Requires Medicare To Cover Dementia Evaluation
WebMD News from Kaiser Health News
Mon, May 05 2014
For the millions of seniors who worry that losing their keys may mean they're losing their minds, the health law now requires Medicare to cover a screening for cognitive impairment during an annual wellness visit.
But in a recent review of the scientific research, an influential group said there wasn't enough evidence to recommend dementia screening for asymptomatic people over age 65.
What's a worried senior to think?
Dementia screening tests are typically short questionnaires that assess such things as memory, attention and language and/or visuospatial skills. One of the most common, the mini-mental state examination, consists of 30 questions (such as "What month is this?" and "What country are we in?") and may be completed in about 10 minutes.
In its review, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent panel of medical experts, evaluated the evidence of the benefits, harms and clinical utility of various screening instruments for cognitive impairment. It concluded that the evidence for routine population-based screening was insufficient. While declining to recommend the practice for everyone older than 65, the reviewers noted that some screening tools can be useful in identifying dementia.
"Clinicians need to use their judgment," says Albert Siu, professor and chair of geriatrics and palliative care at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York who was co-vice chair of the task force on dementia screening. "The evidence isn't clear that there is a net benefit to screening for individuals that are asymptomatic."
The risk of dementia increases with age: its prevalence is 5 percent in people aged 71 to 79, rising to 37 percent of those older than 90. Mild cognitive impairment has many definitions, but the term generally refers to people whose impairment isn't severe enough to hamper their ability to manage their daily lives. By some estimates up to 42 percent of people older than 65 have it. Mild cognitive impairment is a warning sign, but it may not progress to Alzheimer's disease, says Dean Hartley, director of science initiatives at the Alzheimer's Association.
Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia, accounting for up to 80 percent of cases. Other types include vascular dementia, many cases of Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease.
Someone without symptoms who does poorly on a screening test may have other medical conditions, such as depression or sleep apnea, that can cause memory or other problems, says Hartley. That's why it's important that people take the tests in a medical setting with a trained professional who can evaluate them and take a good medical history from patients and their family members, he says.
One-time screenings at shopping malls or health fairs should be avoided, experts agree. Taking a quick test without any accompanying medical evaluation may raise more questions than it answers.

This paper provides a description of the role of the clinical ethicist as it is generally experienced in Canada. It examines the activities of Canadian ethicists working in healthcare institutions and the way in which their work incorporates more than ethics case consultation. The Canadian Bioethics Society established a "Taskforce on Working Conditions for Bioethics" (hereafter referred to as the Taskforce), to make recommendations on a number of issues affecting ethicists and to develop a model role description. This essay carefully assesses this model role description.

Nick Wechsler Talks REVENGE Season 4, His Character's Relationship With Emily, and Where He'd Like to See Jack Go From Here
by Christina Radish Posted 11 days ago
On the ABC drama series Revenge, currently in its fourth season, actor Nick Wechsler plays Jack Porter, everything that Emily Thorne (Emily Van Camp) wishes she could have, but is to clouded by her own desire for revenge for that to be possible. After a long line of tragic events, Jack is now a cop, hoping to not only protect Emily, but all who are suffering from injustice.
During this exclusive phone interview with Collider, Nick Wechsler talked about what most surprises him about Jack's journey, his character's motivations for becoming a cop, whether Jack could ever arrest Emily, seeing himself in the police uniform, the addition of Brian Hallisay as Jack's partner, whether he'd want Jack and Emily to actually get together romantically, and where things are headed this season. Check out what he had to say after the jump, and be aware that there are some spoilers.

ThreeZero 1/6 Scale Robocop 1.0 Updated
Dead or alive, you're coming with him...again. ThreeZero has shown off prototypes for their upcoming Robocop 1.0 figure based on the remake. In this state, the new Murphy looks the closest to the classic 80's design. This is a 1/6 scale figure and stands about a foot tall. Further details are forthcoming.
Updated with color pictures.

Those proportions are so odd looking, it looks like the torso is too long and the thighs too fat
I like this. The proportions make it feel more mechanically raw and less of a 'man in a costume' design.
It's a shame it'll be worth an organ and a couple pints of blood.
...I feel like there's a movie quote I should be making here.... Oh wait I know!
"See you at the party Richtor!"
That may be so, but I like the man in suit aesthetic for robocop. Ed 209 however...
Also, obligatory movie quote, "I'd buy that for a dollar!"

What percentage of taxes should I withhold from my IRA distribution?
Asked by: emeka22uche 1243 views YA Discussion
I have an old 401k I'm thinking of cashing out. It's from a previous job and is only $ 2500. On the IRA distribution form, it gives me the option to withhold taxes, both federal and state. I know there is an automatic 10% penalty since I'm not at retirement age. Should that be the amount I withhold for federal? And I know that I also have to take out 25% for my tax bracket. So, would that mean I have to withhold 35% federal? And I have no idea what to withhold for state tax, I'm from NJ. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
How others found here:
- how much taxes should i withhold for and early withdrawal for an IRA distribution
- distribution puts me over tax bracket should i withhold higher amount?
- what is the percentage that needs to be withheld from cashing out ira

Record numbers riding easy on Expo
January 29, 2014
The first phase of the Expo Line is getting up to speed—six years ahead of schedule.
Metro had projected the line would be carrying 27,000 riders a day by 2020. It has been surpassing that mark since last fall. In December, an average of 27,360 rode it every weekday.
And, in a win-win for passengers and the transit agency, the line's success hasn't translated to overcrowded train cars, at least so far.
Tiffany Laurence, 24, uses Expo to commute from downtown Los Angeles to Culver City. She said that seats are plentiful, even during the morning and evening rush.
"Those are the only times I have someone sitting next to me," Laurence said. "Normally, I have a whole row to myself—it's so luxurious."
Bruce Shelburne, Metro's rail operations chief, is also glad for the extra room. He said the line will need the seating capacity when the second phase to Santa Monica opens in 2015. Shelburne expects that to draw flocks of commuters and tourists, even on the weekends. "We're not breathing hard and we're at 27,000," he said. "If we were at 40,000 I'd be awfully nervous."
For now, the extra room offers easygoing rides to people like Jerry Davis, a Houston, Texas, city councilmember who was in town on business on a recent Wednesday.
"The only lines we've seen have been the traffic lines, so it makes us want to come to the rail," Davis said. "It's a nice, sunny day—we're putting less emissions into the air and saving the environment."
Samantha Bricker, Chief Operating Officer for the Exposition Rail Authority, said much of the ridership comes from the numerous entertainment venues and institutions that are along the way, like Staples Center and the University of Southern California. She also said the line draws a lot of people from the Westside. A 600-space park-and-ride lot at the Culver City station—the furthest west spot on the Expo Line so far—regularly fills to capacity in the morning.
Aside from getting people from Point A to Point B, Expo also seems to be changing how they live. Sandip Chakrabarti, a Ph.D. candidate in urban planning at USC, has been studying how the Expo Line has affected the way people who live in the area get around. "There is evidence that it has altered travel behavior quite a bit," he said. "People near Expo stations have been driving a lot less." On a personal note, he said that when the line starting running it enabled him to move from an area near the school to Culver City, which he prefers.
For commuters like Peyton McElyea, who takes the rail to his real estate job in downtown Los Angeles, a major part of driving less is being able to use travel time more productively.
"You can read the Wall Street Journal, the morning paper, you can respond to email," said McElyea. "You know you have that 30-minute block where you can get something done. It's better than being there with your hands on the wheel."
Metro's Shelburne said McElyea's perspective is not uncommon; rail transit is generally becoming more popular across the board.
"The train's sexy, that's the bottom line," Shelburne said. And the unpredictable traffic on the frequently-gridlocked 10 Freeway doesn't hurt that appeal. "The train is dependable. It's going to be that way every day."

All are welcome
First Church of Christ, Scientist in Mobile, Alabama is located down the street from a homeless shelter. A member shares how individuals staying in the shelter have been welcomed and supported by the church.
How to download this video Feel free to share this video at your own Church Alive Workshop.
And it should be wonderful for every church to be able to express such love that individuals walking by just are drawn to your service. If you are loving your community, they will know it and they will come and stay because they know they are loved. Mrs. Eddy said everything she did was through Love. As a follower of our dear Leader we need to do all things through Love also or we are not her disciples. Thanks for sharing these stories with us, they are heart warming and inspiring.
Thank you for sharing this pure, selfless love with us all -- both of you. It's a beautiful balance of God's masculine Fatherhood and feminine Motherhood that you express. I teared up at the end of your four-part series, feeling the warmth and strength of your love pouring forth. God's blessings from Mobile, Alabama, are helping meet the needs of the world.
So Wonderful what you are doing, First Church, Mobile, Alabama!! Maybe some of you could spread yourselves around the country and give workshops to other C.S. Churches re. how to radiate Love to their Communities! We Love You!
Your unconditional love is so evident in the way you share your story. It cheers my heart. Thanks!
Great work going on!! May we all embrace our communities!

Fred Lindstrom
- Position(s):
- Born:
- November 21, 1905
- Bats:
- Right
- Throws:
- Right
- Height:
- 5' 11"
- Weight:
- 170 lbs
- Major League Debut:
- 4-15-1924 with NY1
- Hall of Fame:
- 1976
Lindstrom joined the Giants in 1924 and that fall became the youngest player (18 years, 10 months, 13 days) to appear in a World Series. In Game Five, he had four hits against Washington's Walter Johnson, but Lindstrom is best remembered for his part in the seventh and deciding game. In the bottom of the 12th, Earl McNeely's grounder took a wild hop (blamed on a pebble) over third baseman Lindstrom's head, allowing the Series-winning run to score.
Lindstrom hit .300 or better in seven of his 13 ML seasons. In 1928 he batted .358 with a league-leading 231 hits; he had 231 hits again in 1930, reaching career highs of .379 and 22 home runs. He drove in more than 100 runs in both seasons.
He was never outstanding at 3B, and when he suffered back problems in 1931, Lindstrom was moved to the outfield. Bill Terry was made Giants manager in 1932 when John McGraw retired. Lindstrom was bitter that he was not the choice and asked Terry to trade him. He was obliged in a three-team deal that sent him to Pittsburgh that December. But 1933 was his last year as a regular. In 1935 he helped the Cubs to a pennant by filling in at 3B and in the OF. He retired while with Brooklyn in 1936. He finally got his chance to manage, in the minors, from 1940 through 1942, and he coached at Northwestern University in the early 1950s. His son, Charlie, caught one game with the 1958 White Sox. Despite being an everyday player in only seven seasons, Lindstrom was elected to the Hall of Fame by the Committee on Baseball Veterans in 1976.

State wildlife officials say a tenth bighorn sheep has died in the Catalina Mountains north of Tucson where 31 bighorns were released late last year. The Arizona Game and Fish Department reports that the ewe's corpse was found Friday and the cause of death is being investigated.

The rising costs of college tuition, room and board are not the only financial obstacles to higher learning, according to a new report which finds that soaring textbook prices are keeping some Arizona students from getting the most out of their college education.

The report says despite the increased prevalence of rental programs, used books and e-books, 65-percent of students have opted out of purchasing a book for a class, with nearly all reporting they suffered academicall Read More »
