If anything. Feeding and changing the water off the neighbour's chickens. Noticed yesterday that one was walking a little off, today the poor thing can't even stand up without falling over to the side. Will walk 2-3 steps then just fall over. The leg does not appear to be broken, but i can't really tell, it does look like it has some sort of growth on its foot, well its not on the other foot but i'm not really up on chickent typical appearances.
Neighbour will be back on monday late at night. On a sailing trip so i can't contact her. It's still laying eggs though.

Hope it helps. Poor thing.

Mum and Dad had a chicken 2 weeks ago that suddenly looked sick, couldn't walk etc etc. Turns out she was egg bound. She layed 2 of the most weirdly shaped eggs I have seen about 2 days later, then she was fine to go again! I wonder if it could be something like that?
ETA - Just read that it's still laying eggs

I had my chicken that was egg bound put to sleep she had got past saving because I didn't realise there was anything wrong.
Problem with chooks is that when they are sick they don't show it until they get really sick.
Did your neighbour give you any instructions if a chook got sick? I know I tell my neighbours don't worry if one dies just dispose of the body in the bin or bush ( for the foxes). If they need a vet I tell them to take the chook and I'll pay the vet if possible or pay them back.
In your situation I'd take it to the vet (not sure if you can get one on a weekend) and if no vet is available I'd try to isolate the chook as chooks are actually cannibals so I'd worry another chook will decide that it's tasty !

yeah that's what i am worried about, my neighbour told me that they had to er end one's sufferiing because the other chickens all ganged up on it and pecked it almost to death.
umm i found a pet carrier to isolate it, will torn up newspaper be sufficient for bedding. I can't find any of the other straw that is in the main coop.
Posted 17 November 2012 - 06:25 PM
If it is at the point where it is unable to walk far enough to drink water and eat, then it would be very cruel to let it starve to death or dehydrate. If it was one of my chooks I would be checking it every few hour or more to see it was fed and watered. To leave it til Monday night with no care would be a horrible thing to do. Knocking it on the head would be far kinder if it's that far gone health wise.

OK i isolated it, i put some newspaper down and took some of the straw from the coop and put it on top. I put a dish of water and some food in, the chicken was eating and drinking when i left it. Sufficient? I'll get some epsom salts tomorrow and follow the directions on that site ^^. Eating and drinking is a good sign right? Do i need to throw something over the pet carrier at night, it won't get cold will it?
I'm not going to off the chicken, i just would like to keep it alive until neighbour gets back.

Are you in Victoria? Apparently there is a really good chook vet in Burwood.

no. North QLD. She's told me to take the dog to a particular vet if there is a problem, i've been looking after her for nearly 4 years on occasionas, she hasn't had the chickens a year yet and I forgot to ask and she forgot to tell. I'm not sure to take because if they would have just put it out of its misery, then that will incur expense for them. But if its still laying eggs and eating and drinking it can't be that bad yet. I hope.

There's a part of this forum http://forum.backyardpoultry.com/ where you can ask questions about medical issues in hens. You can even post a photo of the issue and people will give you some advice.
You did a good job isolating the chicken - if it's a contagious thing you want to avoid the others getting it if possible, and they can pick on a sick bird pretty badly too. If you're worried about it being cold, could you put the pet carrier in the garage or shed to keep it warmer? It's a good thing that it's eating and drinking.
Posted 17 November 2012 - 07:05 PM
By the time the chicken is that sick, a vet is usually a waste of time and money. Either it will get better, or it won't. I am unsure of the rules on recommending forums, but if you want a forum which will definitely help you, pm me

It's only going to get down to about 20 degrees tonight, so should be right? I have no idea on how warm chickens need to be kept! The pet carrier is one used for the dog on planes, so enclose on 3 sides, wire gate on the front, small holes pm each of the sides.
ETA: its up on a table, there is a dog there also/

Still alive, not walking at all now. I tried the epsom salt soak, and to get rid of the black stuff, but i don't think it did much good It's still eating and drinking, i kind of positioned its food and water so it could reach them, and it manouvred itself towards them. ETA: no eggs today though.

Honestly, that sounds really bad. I wouldn't be surprised if it died within the next 24 hours, and would be seriously considering putting it out of its misery now.
Sorry that you're having to deal with this.

I used to live in the country (but was raised in the city) and I had chickens. One of my girls once hurt her leg - much as you described. Being a city girl, who loved her chickens, I took my girl to the vet. The vet did check to see if she was egg bound, which she wasn't, and then diagnosed an unspecified soft tissue injury. I was told to keep her quiet (I first had her in a box, then moved up to a children's playpen). I made sure she had food and water, and cleaned out her little home twice a day. She did go off the lay, and it took 2 - 3 weeks for her to get better. Once she was better, she went back to laying. Hope the chicken you are lookng after feels better soon.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 09:21 PM
Yeah this happened to my chook, she was quiet but ok. The she was wobbly on feet, still eating and drinking though. My chook didn't have anything wrong with its leg though.
I isolated her and in the morning I made an appointment with vet (she deteriorated over weekend when vet was closed). I could only get in at 11.30am but she didn't make it to the appointment.
It's amazing how quick they deteriorate. It's a survival instinct birds have - show no illness in the wild or you will be preyed upon.
Sorry you're going through it, it's bad enough when it's your own let alone looking after someones chook.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 09:26 PM
poor chook....
Posted 18 November 2012 - 09:27 PM
I think you have done all the right things. It's always hard to know what to do with chooks. I have had them seem healthy and drop dead an hour later, and others that I was sure were not going to make it but they did. Usually a couple of days isolation and restricted movement sees them improve so hopefully she will make it through.

She's alive, about the same. About to go over and clean her cage out. Neighbour will be back tonight.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 11:01 AM
if this helps you feel less anxious, when one of mine was egg bound, it did come good; but there are other things it can be. ask your neighbour to get onto the andy vardy backyard poultry forum and ask questions. she will get heaps of really spot-on help. good luck. yes, chickens do die easily, but i have had some miracle recoveries, too. you have been doing the right thing.

Tedco plots out $20M cyber fund, among others
Send this story to a friend
- Bill Flook
- Staff Reporter- Washington Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Maryland's Tedco and a team of entrepreneurs are planning to launch a new $20 million cybersecurity fund early next year, according to Executive Director Robert Rosenbaum.
The state-sponsored investment group plans to formally announce the cyber fund in January. Rosenbaum declined to name the sponsors, whom he described as "a couple of young guys that built a fairly large cybersecurity company and sold it." The capital — assuming they are successful in raising it — would be used to invest in early-stage cyber startups, both those building products and those selling services, he said.
The fund would fit into a broader partnership strategy for Columbia-based Tedco, and follow a similar structure to the $50 million tech-transfer initiative it launched this week alongside the Chesapeake Crescent Initiative. TEDCO, short for Maryland Technology Development Corp., is also plotting out a veterans fund that Rosenbaum expects to top $10 million.
In each, Tedco plans to acts a general partner, or GP, filling a role similar to a traditional venture capitalist, while a sponsor launches the fundraising effort.
"Once we find a fund sponsor who has the passion and the connections in that particular slice of the world, we partner with them, we provide all the GP-type support, all the due diligence, all the vetting," Rosenbaum said. "But we rely on the sponsor of the fund to make the initial calls" to potential investors, known as limited partners.
Of all those funds, cyber might be the most practical. Maryland, home to both the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command (both at Fort Meade), is already a national hub for the industry. With valuations on cyber acquisitions skyrocketing, investing in the sector grows more and more appealing. That could help convince limited partners to sign on at a time when the entire venture asset class is under greater scrutiny.

The village of McComb has lifted a boil advisory which was originally issued Sunday morning following a massive water main break.
According to village administrators, the break drained the village water tower, so the entire Village had a limited water supply.
The leak was fixed Sunday morning, and the tower was refilled. The boil advisory was lifted around 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Retired police officer sentenced to life for murdering wife
Retired Toronto police officer Larry Ryan has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the shooting death of his wife, Susan, in their Mississauga home.
Share via Email
Retired Toronto police officer Larry Ryan has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the shooting death of his wife, Susan, in their Mississauga home.
Justice Joseph Fragomeni sentenced Ryan, 60, to the mandatory term of life in prison following the jury's verdict on Monday night in a Brampton courtroom.
Fragomeni will set Ryan's parole ineligibility of between 10 and 25 years at a later date.
Ryan accepted he was guilty of manslaughter. His lawyer, James Burke, told jurors the killing was unintentional because Ryan was too drunk to know what he was doing on Nov. 9, 2008.
He never testified because he didn't remember what happened, Burke said.
But the jury disagreed, believing Crown John Raftery's case that Ryan intended to murder his wife of 36 years when he fired four bullets at her head at close range while she was making breakfast.
Jurors took about four hours to reach their verdict.
Susan's death had all the makings of a surprise execution both from forensic evidence and the graphic photos presented to jurors.
The body of the prominent 57-year-old Mississauga realtor was found sprawled in a pool of blood on her kitchen floor.
The Crown maintained Ryan knew exactly what he was doing. He snuck up from behind his wife, pressed a rifle muzzle against her head and pulled the trigger four separate times, hitting her twice and grazing her mouth and back of her neck with the other shots.
He still had four times the legal limit of alcohol in his system about two hours after he shot his wife but Raftery said Ryan never started consuming booze until after the shooting.
"He was not a stumbling drunk," Raftery said in Monday's closing address. "There was no reason for that firearm to be upstairs except to kill his wife. . . . He crept up to her. . . . She never ran. She never called 911."
The rifle was a much quieter gun than others to be used on the week-long hunting trip Ryan and a friend were about to take that morning, Raftery said.
No motive was given for the killing.
"There is no rhyme or reason to explain what happened, except that he was severely intoxicated," defence lawyer James Burke said in his closing address.
Raftery suggested Ryan opened six locks to take the rifle from a secured storage area, disengaged the trigger lock on it and individually loaded a magazine with .22 calibre bullets before firing it, "something a falling down drunk" would not be able to do.
"He told his friend (in his garage afterwards) that he even knew the exact amount of shots he fired and that he killed his wife," Raftery said.
Like all police officers, it would have been "ingrained" in Ryan's head that you don't point a muzzle at anything unless you intend to "destroy it," Raftery said.

HUNDREDS of mourners celebrated the 'inspirational' life of Knowle's double Olympic medallist Tommy Godwin at a memorial service in the village church.
Mr Godwin passed away on November 3 at the Marie Curie hospice in Solihull at the age of 91.
And his friends and family paid emotional tribute to his life at Tuesday's ((November 20) service.
The sporting inspiration won two bronze medals at the London 1948 games and spent his life involved with his beloved cycling.
He managed the British cycling squad at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, was president of the British Cycling Federation and founded the Birmingham RCC.
In later years Tommy also ran a bike shop in Kings Heath, passing on his love of cycling to everyone who walked through the door as well as visiting schools and community groups to share his passion for the sport.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Best laptop? Depends on who you are
Here are my choices for three levels of users
I was sitting down with a client recently, and he was using a 13-inch MacBook Pro.
"I'm looking for an upgrade," he told me. "What should I be getting Dave?" The question befuddled me. I had no damn idea what to say. I went with my gut reaction and told him to just upgrade to the new MacBook Pro with retina display.
After going home and realizing that specific laptop costs an insane amount of money, I sat down and tried figuring out what the best laptop for him would be.
Now there are many categories of people who could use a new laptop. I'd like to split it into three sections: First, the grandma who doesn't do anything besides surf the web and send ridiculously animated emails to her sons, daughters and grandkids. That person doesn't care what they are using, as long as it has a keyboard and a screen.
The second category is the average consumer. They like to social network, email, play games, watch movies, do word processing, etc. That person cares what kind of computer it is.
The third category is the geek. This person cares how much RAM is in the computer, the hard drive size, screen size, resolution, how many USB ports, and all that jazz. I fall under this category. These three categories are ordered from lowest to highest in price.
Let's start with grandma. Does she want Windows or Mac? I'd assume Windows because she has probably been using that for the longest time. Let's try to stick under the $700 price level. I'm personally not a fan of HP, Samsung, or Toshiba for laptops. I'm more of an Acer, ASUS, Dell and Lenovo type of guy. For grandma I'd recommend getting an Acer Aspire S3. It has a 13.3-inch screen, which will work just fine -- it also comes installed with Windows 8, which has very big buttons and icons that allow for easy viewing and interactive pleasure. It comes stocked with an Intel i3 processor and four GBs of RAM. That's crazy fast.
The SSD is only 20 GBs, but for email and Internet, that will be just fine for her, and the SSD will kick in and make the computer extra fast. It comes in a really stylish taupe color, which she'll like, and it only costs $649.
I think the Acer is a perfect choice for your mom or grandma, but another option would be to buy an iPad Mini or an iPad. This is a device that doesn't have to be charged often, and they can just lie on the couch and play around with it.
For the next level, my gut feeling is to go with a MacBook Air 13-inch. I absolutely love this device. It's thin, fast, has a great operating system, and isn't too costly. I personally think anybody would like possessing a MacBook Air. It costs $1,200, comes with four GBs of RAM, Intel HD graphics, i5 processor with turbo boost, and 128 GB of flash storage, which is uber fast. It also runs the Mac OS, which is really quite awesome.
Now for the geeks. This is where I see myself receiving a lot of hate mail (firstname.lastname@example.com). I would once again recommend a Mac. I would personally go with a 15-inch MacBook Pro with retina display. These computers are very costly, but I don't think the geek factors in price when buying hardware. He or she simply wants the best. It comes with a 2.6GHz quad core processor with turbo boost, eight GB of RAM, 512GB of flash storage and a built in seven-hour battery life. This laptop does cost $2,800, however. For the geeks though, I see them being very media involved, using the Adobe Suite, Final Cut Pro, and all this works so well on a Mac. It really does. The 15-inch screen, in my opinion, is the perfect size; not too big, not too small. If you're a Windows user, look into the Alien Ware products; they make top quality Windows powerhouses for a pretty decent price.
There you have it, the best laptop choices for those three levels of consumers. I feel somewhat bad for picking two Apple products out of three, but I truly believe they make a top-quality computer product. I've used Macs all of my life, and have never experienced a problem. If you have any questions, you can hit me up on Twitter @thedavidbell or if you want to talk, shoot me over an email (db@thedavidbell) and let's chat!

that made no sense....his queen would've killed my queen as her first move. am i missing something??
I'm in the boat with you! I think we must be missing something, though I can see it.
very nice
why not black qween take white queen???!!
Solved my first chess puzzle!
not bad
Useful thread - now I know the difference between Decoy & Deflection & this was certainly the latter !
See post #143 by Jeffmon for the link to the Wikipedia chess glossary page: It's a really informative resource.
Why didnt the Black Queen take the White Queen after the first move, when the Black King was in check?
Clever but easy after the first move.
Qb4+ Kg8 2. Qb8+ Qd8 3. Qxd8#
First rate
great puzzle,
Killer first move; the white queen is untouchable, so the black king gotta move... so the back rank mate becomes possible.
Medium.Please be relevant, helpful & nice!
Instead of asking the same questions over and over again, why don't those who did not understand the puzzle completely read the previous posts by fellow Chess.com members to see if maybe they have already asked the same question you are asking yourself, and there you can find the answer! If you are just writing it to get profile Points, then a simple, "Great puzzle" suffices. If you have something new to share, then please do so.
Best post ever. Ice is my new hero.
took me a while... good first move though.

Hope is a dream in the mind of what can come
Hope gives you a future whatever has passed whatever done
Hope is a light that breaks through the darkness that us surround
Hope helps us find our way through to safer loving ground
Hope fights for you when things get so very tough
Hope means keeping going when you have had enough
Hope though dims on times stays through your sorrow
Hope brings you through by dreaming of tomorrow
Hope tries to console you when your eyes glisten with tears
Hope gives you something to keep going whatever your fears
Hope is free beautiful may fade but never dies
Hope is always there even if its light seems dim on times

Three penalties from Ruan Pienaar gave the team a six point lead in the first half, but it was a late try from Ryan Bevington that proved decisive as the champions took a well-earned victory in the PRO12.
It was only the second defeat of the season for leaders Ulster, who will have to be content with a losing bonus point.
Both sides fielded under-strength squads in what was to prove a closely contested game.
"We lacked that edge tonight," coach Mark Anscombe reflected.
"We didn't have that purpose about us in the way we looked after the ball, we didn't get our set pieces in order and didn't strike.
"They played well and deserved the win. They came here with attitude and got the result."
Ulster put their first three points on the board when Pienaar kicked a penalty on four minutes, but Matthew Morgan levelled as Ospreys started to dominate possession.
A second great penalty from Pienarr made it 6-3 against the run of play, before Morgan tied once again.
A third from the scrum half gave Ulster a slim lead just before half time.
Ospreys, who had looked the stronger side going into the break, started the second period well and Morgan slotted over from a penalty kick to draw level again on 53 minutes.
Things then got worse for Ulster with Pienaar leaving the field with what looked to be a shoulder injury.
Stuart Olding landed a penalty kick to nudge the home side in front, while Ospreys Morgan Allen was sent to the bin.
But with 10 minutes to go, the Welsh side countered from their own 22 as Jonathan Spratt linked with skipper Kahn Fotuali'I - the scrum half taking out three defenders with his infield pass to Bevington who scored the try.
It was converted by Morgan to open up a lead for the Welsh side.
Ulster pressed for a try in response but fell short as they went down to a disappointing home defeat, with the Ospreys finishing on the front foot.

Streaming media around the home, is something which is becoming a more commercial viability, if you look at the amount of hardware available for the Task, the Big Boys, Buffalo, Dlink, LinkSys, Freecom and NetGear all have Network Media extenders which attach to your network, and TV, and allow you to stream music and video off a NAS Server or computer to your TV.
It is possible to do this on the cheap however using Linux. and a low spec PC. mainly due to apps like MythTV or Geexbox which run on Linux, and provide uPnP or DLNA access to your media, as well as looking at mapped Drives.
The former there, MythTV is the Big boy in this arena, however is notoriously difficult to setup, infact, so much so, there is actually a spin of Ubuntu, called Mythbuntu which does all the hard work for you. Its a great distro, however still its not the most intuitive interface around. and the GUI itself is a little retro.
Competition is however, a great innovator, and as such XMBC might actually push the Myth team forward.
So what do we have here? According to the Webpage, the sales pitch is...
XBMC is an award winning media center application for Linux, Mac OS X, Windows and XBox. The ultimate hub for all your media, XBMC is easy to use, looks slick, and has a large helpful community.
The system, is essentially a very slick looking system, for delivering your Server based media to a PC, running on either Windows, Mac or Linux and surprisingly the xBox. Actually its not that surprising.. because the wikipedia entry for the software states.
XBMC Media Center (formerly named "XBox Media Center") is a free and open source cross-platform media-player and entertainment hub. It was originally created for the first-generation Xbox game-console, but is now available for the Linux, Mac OS X (Leopard, Tiger, Apple TV), and Microsoft Windows operating systems. There is also a bootable Live CD version referred to as "XBMC Live"
Essentially, these guys had a good product for the XBox and have ported it to the Big Three, and in doing so, have provided MythTV and TVersity with some much needed kick up the rear..
So, how does it all work from a users perspective?
I initially installed this on my Macbook, using OSX, and the isntall was very straightforward, the system uses the usual MG pacage, incredibly, on Ubuntu, the system is equally as easy, with well written instructions on installing apt sources for the user, and using apt-get to install the software, and make sure the dependencies are all installed.
First Launch
The first launch of the interface on either platform does so with the app windowed, rather than taking over the full screen, this is a good idea, and the screen size is easily changed. it displays a clean interface for the user, and looks very intuative.
The interface is themeable, and as such, i'll look at the default one, on lauch, the interface looks pretty, and slick, very modern, its designed i guess for use with a keyboard, however you can point and click with it as well, also on the macbook, the remote control was usable with the interface, which makes using the software when plugged into the TV a little easier.
The interface however is fully customizable, and as such you can use eirher list views, or icon views for seeing the media, and the screen resolution may be changed quickly.
With software like this, the inerface is key, as it may be used as i mentioned earlier on a TV, or as desktop software on the PC itself, its good to see a onsistant interface across multiple platforms as well.
Supported Formats
Format support for Media seems to be very good, and i have been able to play the myriad of video formats the Wiki site, coers the formats supported by the software in some detail:
Wiki Entry:
Audio/video playback and handling
XBMC can play media from CD/DVD media using an internal DVD-ROM drive. It can also play media from an internal built-in hard disk drive, or stream them over SMB/SAMBA/CIFS shares (Windows File-Sharing), ReplayTV DVRs, UPnP (Universal Plug and Play ) shares, XBMSP (Xbox Media Stream Protocol) shares, or stream iTunes-shares via DAAP. XBMC can also take advantage of the Xbox's Ethernet network port and a broadband Internet connection if available, using the IMDb to obtain thumbnails and reviews on movies, CDDBFreeDB) for Audio-CD track-listings), and album-thumbnails via AMG, it can stream Internet-video-streams, and play Internet-radio-stations (such as SHOUTcast). XBMC also includes the option to submit music usage statistics to Last.fm and a weather-forecast (via weather.com). It also has music/video-playlist features, picture/image-slideshow functions, an MP3+CDG karaoke function and many audio-visualizations and screensavers. XBMC can in addition upscale/upconvert all standard-definition (480i/480p/576i/576p)720p, 1080i, and 1080p high-definition resolutions. (via resolution videos and output them to
Format support
XBMC can be used to play/view all common multimedia formats. It can decode these in software and optionally pass-through AC3/DTS audio from movies directly to S/PDIF output to an external audio-amplifier/receiver.

Addons, are something which can make or break an application, it may be pointed out, that firefox's greatest strength are its plugins and themes. This software seems to have a core system for this, and provides an example Weather Theme as part of the package. As well as addons for finding Movie covers from IMDb as well as other places. However as Wikipedia states:
Wiki entry:
XBMC features a Python Scripts Engine and WindowXML application framework (a XML-based widget toolkitGUI for widgets) in a similar fashion to Apple Mac OS X Dashboard Widgets and Microsoft GadgetsWindows Sidebar. Python widget scripts allow normal users to add new functionality to XBMC themselves, (using the easy to learn Python programming language), without knowledge of the complex C/C++ programming language. Current plugin scripts include functions like Internet-TV and movie-trailer browsers, weather forecastcinemaguides, TV-guides (EPG), e-mail clients, instant messaging, train-timetables, scripts to front-endPVR software and hardware (like: MediaPortal, MythTV, TiVo, ReplayTV, Dreambox/DBox2), Internet-radio-station browsers (example SHOUTcast, Xm radio, Sirius Satellite Radio), P2P file-sharing downloaders (BitTorrent), IRC, also casual games (sometimes also referred to as mini-games or party-games) such as Tetris, Snake, Space Invaders, Sudoku, and much more. for creating a in and control
Skinning is also a great way to add freshness to an application, this is also covered, there are a few default skins bundled as standard, and they do a good job of showcasing different ways of accessing the media.
Wiki entry:
A mainstay of Xbox homebrew applications is skin-ability in the tradition of case modifications. XBMC is noted as having a very flexible GUI toolkit and robust framework for its GUI, using a standard XML base, making theme-skinning and personal customization very accessible. Users can create their own skin (or simply modify an existing skin) and share it with others via public websites dedicated for Xbox and XBMC skins trading. "Project Mayhem" is the official skin; which is now in its third version, commonly know as "PMIII" or "PM3". Many third-party skins exist and while some are original designs, most are clones or an exact replica of other multimedia software, such as DivX Connected, Apple Front Row, Windows Media Center Edition (MCE), MediaPortal, Meedio/MeediOS, HDeeTV, Kaleidescape, Xbox 360 Blades (MC360), Xbox 360 New Xbox Experience, and others.
It may be of note, to get playback on Ubuntu, you should make sure mplayer is installed, as well as w32codecs and non-supported codecs from Medibuntu.
So what about hardware, what do you need to run this? Well i have had it running with AVI's and MP3 MP4 fiels on a Macbook Core 2 Duo on OSX and Ubuntu and a Dell Mini 9 quite well, it seems to be well programmed, however like most apps of this type if you are running compiz, there may be some clipping with the interface. However if youa re using this as a media centre, then you probably don't need the compiz eye candy loading anyway.
Wiki entry:
XBMC has greater basic hardware requirements than a traditional 2D GUI toolkit, but this basically means that it needs 3D capable GPU for all rendering; on the other hand, 3D GPU chips are common today. Other than that, XBMC was designed to be resource efficient and runs extremely well on what (by Intel Atom standards) are pretty underpowered OpenGL 1.4 GLSL capable systems that are x86 or x86-64 CPU based. In order to allow for smooth playback of 1080p high definition content without dropping frames, an Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0 Ghz processor or better is required.
Final Thoughts
If you are looking for a home media Centre, and have had it with figuring out MythTV, this is a VERY VERY good alternative to MediaCentre, Myth or TVersity. I think the interface is well written. and the software seems to be very well supported.

Firefox OS media-casting stick strikes Kickstarter gold
The first Firefox OS based media player has arrived on Kickstarter, in the form of a $25 open-spec HDMI stick that supports Chromecast-like content casting. The Matchstick, which has already zoomed past its Kickstarter campaign's $100,000 funding goal, with 28 days still remaining, was teased back in June by Mozilla developer evangelist Christian Heilmann. The unnamed prototype was billed as an open source HDMI stick that runs Mozilla's Linux-based Firefox OS and offers casting capabilities. Few details were revealed at the time except that the device used the same DIAL (DIscovery And Launch) media-casting protocol created by Netflix and popularized by Google's Chromecast.
Open source history, present day, and licensing
Looking at open source softwares particularly, this is a fact that is probably useful to you if you are thinking about business models, many people don't care about it anymore. We talk about FOSS, Free and Open Source Software, but if we really are strict there's a difference between free software and open source software. On the left, I have free software which most typically is GPL software. Software where the license insures freedom. It gives freedoms to you as a user, but it also requires that the freedoms are maintained. On the right-hand side, you have open source software which is open for all, but it also allows you to close it. So here we come back to the famous clause of the GPL license, the reciprocity requirement which says, "If I am open, you need to be open." So software that comes under the GPL license carries with it something that other people call a virus. I call it a blessing because I think it's great if all software becomes open.

I want to make films with spiritual content: Mahesh Reddy
"The success of my film has now opened the market for good devotional films. I want do more films with spiritual content," Reddy told us.
He says a lot of detailing went into the film and some parts of it were fictionalised to suit the audience.
'Shirdi Sai', the first Telugu film to have been released in Africa, is directed by veteran K. Raghavendra Rao. It features actor Akkineni Nagarjuna in the role of Sai. The film collected over Rs.3 crore in the overseas market.
But box office success wasn't the main motive for Reddy.
"I did not make the film ('Shirdi Sai') with the motive to earn profit. However, the film did very well and I'm thankful," he added.
