iOS developers face legal threats over Apple's in-app purchase systemA number of iOS developers were hit with legal threats this week, alleging patent infringement through utilizing Apple's in-app purchasing feature for App Store software.
Developers were first sent legal complaints this week accusing them of patent infringement, according to TUAW. Developers have not yet been sued, but were informed that they have 21 days to license technology related to in-app purchases.
The maker of "PCalc Lite," James Thomson, as well as Chicago-based developer Patrick McCarron were both sent letters via FedEx claiming patent infringement related to iOS software.
The complaints stem from patent holding firm Lodsys, and are related to U.S. Patent No. 7222078, entitled "Methods and Systems for Gathering Information from Units of a Commodity Across a Network, MacRumors discovered on Friday. The original patent was filed in December 2003, but dates back through continuations to earlier applications as old as 1992.
The invention is credited to Dan Abelow, though his portfolio of patents were sold to Lodsys in 2004. It is Lodsys that has threatened legal action against iOS developers.
So far, there is no evidence that Apple has been targeted in the complaints sent out. Apple controls the App Store for iOS devices, including the iPhone and iPad, as well as the in-app purchasing protocol.
In-app purchases were first introduced in 2009, when Apple release iOS 3.0 for the iPhone. Though the feature was initially restricted to pay software, later that year Apple granted creators of free applications the ability to charge for add-ons and additional content.
Just like purchases made directly through the App Store, in-app purchases are charged by Apple to a user's iTunes account. Apple takes a 30 percent cut of all transactions made for software on iOS devices.

The Long March was a series of marches that the Red Army undertook to flee concerted attacks by the Guomingdang. It was started by Otto Braun, who convinced the Communist Party to expel Mao Zedong and retreat to Hunan, causing a loss of over 50 percent of their fighting force along the way. Control returned to Mao Zedong, whose success with the Red Army ascended him to power.Continue Reading
Unlike Braun, Mao Zedong's strategy during the Long March revolved around splitting the Red Army into various small groups that were better able to hide from their pursuers. Rather than retreating to Hunan, Mao Zedong changed the destination to the Shaanxi province where the Red Army hoped to repel Japanese invaders and drum up popular support. Although only 10,000 men survived the grueling journey, they combined with communist troops to form an army of 80,000 men who fought the Guomingdang, creating an inspiring myth around Mao Zedong that attracted young Chinese men and women to his cause. In Mao Zedong's own words, the Red Army became a symbol for China's liberation and the Communist Party's strength and endurance with him positioned as its undisputed leader. His popularity allowed him to form the People's Republic of China.Learn more about Modern Asia
Mao Zedong won over the peasants by writing articles supporting peasant uprisings against their landlords and praising their vigilantism. Mao described the landlords as "local bullies" and "lawless landlords," and praised the peasants' local community struggle meetings as the sole organ of authority.Full Answer >
Mao Zedong, also known as Mao Tse-tung, came to power after the Communist party defeated the Nationalist party for control and World War II had ended. Zedong officially began his reign on October 1, 1949.Full Answer >
Mao Zedong's power was something that he earned through the years as he grew up, working with revolutionists, refusing to settle for the traditional ways and educating himself on Marxism and Leninism. Zedong became one of the founding members of the Communist party of China in 1921.Full Answer >
The Taika Reforms was a series of changes to Japan's political system after a coup d'état in 645 A.D. by Prince Nakano and Nakatoni Kamatari against the Soga clan.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- (Marketwire) -- 01/10/13 -- Sub Zero Ice Cream & Yogurt (www.subzeroicecream.com), the company that has reinvented the ice cream experience with customized, flash-frozen ice cream that doesn't require freezers, will be featured on ABC's "Shark Tank" on Friday, Jan. 11, at 9 p.m. ET and at 8 p.m. MT.
Jerry and Naomi Hancock, the creators of Sub Zero, team up to pitch the panel of "Shark Tank" judges with their unique concept. During the show, many Sub Zero locations will be hosting in-store viewing parties with liquid nitrogen demonstrations and free samples.
"Participating on 'Shark Tank' is a big step for our growing brand," said Jerry Hancock, CEO of Sub Zero Ice Cream & Yogurt. "We have been steadily opening new franchises across the nation, and we're excited for the awareness this opportunity will provide. We invite people to come to the stores and share in this exciting opportunity with us."
Sub Zero creates a new customer experience with its unique flash-freezing cryogenics process. Customers choose from one of eight bases, 40 flavors and 35 different mix-ins and then watch as their creation is flash-frozen in a cloud of nitrogen at -321 degrees Fahrenheit. All customers, even those with dietary restrictions or preferences, will be able to design their own personalized ice cream from the base up.
Through Sub Zero's cryogenic process, the milk molecules stay small and the water molecules don't have time to become ice crystals, ultimately creating a smooth, creamy ice cream for the customer. Because Sub Zero stores don't use freezers, they save 25 percent on costs, allowing them to focus their resources on making the customer experience even better.
Jerry Hancock said, "We wanted to create a new kind of ice cream that combines science and deliciousness. It took more than two years of research to develop our unique freezing process, but all that hard work brought us the fulfillment that we believe redefines the way people look at America's most popular dessert."
More information about Sub Zero Ice Cream & Yogurt, catering, educational programs, and franchising opportunities can be found online at subzeroicecream.com
About Sub Zero Ice Cream & Yogurt
Sub Zero Ice Cream & Yogurt was founded in 2004 by chemist Jerry Hancock, and it has consistently grown to now have franchises in seven states. The Utah-based company combines an innovative flash freezing process with a unique customer experience where ice cream is made in a matter of seconds from a liquid base right in front of the customer. The company was listed in Entrepreneur magazine's 2013 Franchise 500 as one of the top franchise opportunities in the United States. For more information, please visit subzeroicecream.com.

Returning to "Missions in the Manse"
What is Missions in the Manse and how did it start? The very first Missions in the Manse was on March 9, 1984, where 90 people gathered at Pastor John and Noël's home to be encouraged towards frontier or domestic missions as a vocation. Pastor John gave seven reasons for Missions in the Manse in a Taste and See Article in 1984:
- to find out who you are
- to say we are for you and behind you all the way
- to feed you
- to stir you up with God's word
- to sing and pray with you
- to dream with you
- to promise to pray for you by name every day through 1984.
Because of the growing attendance, the last couple of years we have gathered in the Main Hall of Bethlehem's Downtown campus. This year we are going back to manse, the campus pastor's manse, in order to fulfill these seven reasons with a smaller group and a more intimate setting. Various Global Partners and Pastors David, Kenny, and Dan will be sharing from God's word. We hope and pray that it will encourage many to go out to the nations with a zealous passion for the supremacy of Christ, and encourage many others to pray more fervently and pointedly for the movement of God in awakening missionary vision and commitment at Bethlehem.
Join us November 7th for Missions in the Manse at your campus pastor's home.

More schools: Getting a start on volume two?
When writing my book, "Historic Milwaukee Public Schoolhouses," I recounted the story of the buildings that have been key players in educating Milwaukee children since the mid-1800s.
I made no bones about it, though, when it came to focusing on specific places. I especially love the buildings built in the waning decades of the 19th century. From the late 1870s through the turn of the century, the cream of Milwaukee's architectural crop was designing the city's schools: Henry Koch, Edward Townsend Mix, Ferry and Clas, Walter Holbrook, George Ehlers, Mollerus and Lotter, Schnetzky and Liebert.
So, you'll be unsurprised to see special attention paid to Koch schools like Eighth Street, Garfield Avenue, Eighteenth Street, Kagel and Golda Meir; to Schnetzky and Liebert's Fifth Street, Walnut Street and Maryland Avenue Schools; Mix's Dover Street and Wells Street Junior High; Holbrook's Trowbridge and Mound Street buildings.
But I know a lot of teachers and school administrators and many of them work in places I didn't include. Whenever they mention one such building, I suggest – jokingly? – that I needed to save some gems for volume two.
Anyway, here are some places I didn't mention that might make a foundation for a second book ... someday.
James Whitcomb Riley, 2201 S. 7th St., on the South Side. I have a neighbor who teaches there and it's my grandmother's alma mater. This red brick building was built in 1916 and it looks a lot like the many other schools built in Milwaukee during this era. It's small, with a flat roof and a lovely decorative band that runs between the roofline and the second story windows. The story of how buildings of this period took on this simpler, more utilitarian look – but still with an eye to attractive detail – is worth deeper discussion. A building like Hartford Avenue School would work in this chapter, too, as would a 1930s era art deco gem like Tippecanoe (now Howard Avenue Montessori).
Humboldt Park School was built in 1929, replacing an earlier building on the site at Adams and Euclid. That earlier building was annexed by MPS in 1925 and by 1927 it had an enrollment over 500 and it was already clear to the district that, in the words of an MPS publication of the day, "the building has long outgrown its usefulness and will have to be replaced by a new building in the near future." Its replacement is a red brick building with an imposing tower and great stonework above one of the entrances. A few years ago, the school greened a chunk of its sea of concrete playground. Story School – in the shadow of Miller Brewing – was built six years later and is worth a deeper look, too.
Alexander Mitchell School. Built in 1894, Mitchell School on South 23rd Street, is right in my wheelhouse. It's lovely and I'm sorry, in retrospect, that I only mentioned it in passing. I'm not sure who the architect is, though I know that George Ehlers did an addition to it a short time after it was constructed. Third Street School – later Victor Berger and now MLK – is another survivor of this era that deserved a little more coverage than it got. A tad later, there's Fratney and Clarke Street Schools. If there's another book, I promise a deeper look at all of these.
Ninety-Fifth Street, Clement Avenue and Milwaukee Spanish Immersion (previously 55th Street) Schools. In the book, which pretty much ends at the close of the 1940s, I describe a number of schools built off the same plans. If "volume two" brings things more up to the current day, there will be other examples of twins and triplets. The first two of these three buildings, which are more or less identical, were built in 1953. Fifty-fifth Street was erected the following year.
There's more, of course, but I can't show my entire hand this early in the game, can I?

Graduates of the UIC head into a range of vocations when it comes to work; the consulting industry, the health care services industry, and the architectural services industry are just a few professional areas popular among alumni. The majority of UIC alumni wind up in the financial services industry. Graduates of the UIC earn $66K on average.
Software Engineers win the contest for best-paid UIC alumni, making $87K on average every year, though Project Engineers (around $81K), and Electrical Engineers ($74K) are not far behind. Staff Accountants wrap up the bottom of the pay scale, earning approximately $49K.
Chicago, Ill. keeps the largest number of UIC grads among cities despite the fact that it offers the lowest median compensation (about $63K). For those seeking more money, San Francisco, Calif. is a popular destination for former UIC students; median pay is $120K. Close-by Naperville, Ill. and Washington, DC are also desirable cities among UIC alumni.
Former Flames who fare the best in terms of salary hold a Master of Engineering (MEng / ME) and earn a median salary of $140K per year. A Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), Industrial Design (ID) commands less pay, and these degree-holders face median pay of approximately $45K.
UIC grads are usually competent in Project Management, and just under a fifth of alumni continue practicing this skill in their career. Former Flames who have experience with Operations Management can expect to make 45 percent more than other alumni ($96K on average). Also considered top-notch skills are Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Office, and Engineering Design.
A lucky minority (about two-fifths of alumni) are fortunate enough to be compensated for vacation while just one-fifth of alumni get sick time. Most alums report contributing to a 401(k). Dental insurance applies to a fair number of grads, and most former students report health coverage. University of Illinois at Chicago alumni are rewarded with additional benefits, such as a casual working environment, life insurance, a company-subsidized cell phone, and tuition reimbursement.
Iowa State University grads report the most similar salaries to UIC alums, earning about $66K on average. Other schools similar to UIC include the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Purdue University-Main Campus, and Michigan State University.

For those who haven't read it yet, Warren Buffet's right-hand man Charlie Munger had plenty to say about the state of the U.S. in his article entitled, "Basically, It's Over". In broad strokes (through a clever parable), Munger details our former greatness and our coming demise by the year 2012. Oh, and he calls Goldman Sachs a bucket shop (haha).
It is worth reading through to the end, even if it leaves you feeling a little queasy about America's prospects. Many of you will dismiss it out of hand (as Munger predicts in the parable) out of either fear or apathy. But it's hard to argue with the credit pressure the U.S. is under right now. It certainly could completely unravel over the next two years. All it would take is one major creditor to say, "No thanks, I think I'll pass this time." for the house of cards to crumble.
Unfortunately, Munger wasn't long on solutions to the problem. I suspect this is because he doesn't believe that there are any solutions, and that the coming demise is now inevitable. Coincidentally, I just finished watching an excellent BBC documentary called Empire of the Seas. It detailed how Great Britain went from complete global dominance to relative obscurity in less than 200 years. So don't think it can't happen to us.
I'd love to hear what, if anything, you guys are doing to prepare for the nasty eventuality outlined in Munger's article. Are you putting exit plans in place? Doing nothing? Hoarding cash?

Munger's dead-on about how screwed up the US is, how complacent and entitled the average citizenry is, and how morally corrupt and mentally bankrupt gov't has become. People seem to have forgotten that democracy has never accomplished anything good in history; everything from the Roman Empire to the Constitution to Civil Rights was built by a few men who knew what was needed, rather than by a poll of the lowest common denominator

This is why i'm doing my MBA in Europe and planning on working either there or in Asia afterwards. This is also why my whole portfolio is short US right now. Short the Dow, short the S&P, short Nasdaq, short crude, short the banks, long volatility, long gold, and long China.
It's funny that I see the markets keep on popping up and there's so much blind optimism. Really? If you sit down and look at the way the US economy is, what is there to be optimistic about? The US is basically forcing other countries, especially China, to help them print free money. Well the party's gonna be over at some point and when the creditors take away the fruit punch bowl at the party...watch out...the US economy will spazz out.
And Munger doesn't mention solutions because at this point, it's pretty much too late. The US has racked up so much debt. The choices are: die from thirst or drink from the poisoned well...and they're just drinking from that poisoned well.
I'm not sure if 2012 is too soon...but I definitely see it coming. I mean, I'm not worried about the US turning into some 3rd world country. It's just that the economic development and boom cycle is done here.

I agree wholeheartedly with everything said in this topic, but the article I find a bit irrelevant and incoherent. My biggest issue is with this:
"the extreme prosperity of Basicland had created a peculiar outcome: As their affluence and leisure time grew, Basicland's citizens more and more whiled away their time in the excitement of casino gambling."
This by extension implies, that any country/nation, that reaches a certain level of wealth, will indulge in gambling and bring around its own demise. That seems a bit far-fetched.
By no means do I question the sad state US is in and its bleak prospects for the future (though in my opinion this also goes for the rest of western developed nations, China, India, Russia...). But his logic and reasoning is fuzzy, to say the least.

I think claiming that there aren't solutions is a cop-out. There are solutions, they just aren't what people want to talk about, or what our government has the courage to do. Here are just a few ideas for what we should be doing, or at least talking about (in back rooms please):
Fix healthcare; don't just past socialist bills, address the underlying cost structure. Specific steps that should be taken include:
-Bringing market prices to medicine: today, no doctors or patients know what a procedure or drug costs, and can't act accordingly. Fixing a person isn't that different from fixing a car, yet you mechanic can tell you what a new transmission will cost, even if your insurance covers it
Fix entitlements: social security + medicare will end the US, because they both have massive unfunded liabilities (dating from their inception), have been used for decades to plug other holes in the budget, and have cost structures that don't reflect reality. Specifically, we should:
-Raise the retirement age to reflect longer life-expectancies and the generational shift; I'd favour something well north of 70
-Move medicare to a market-based system
-Eliminate the income cap on social security contributions - yes, doing so is unfair, but so is the whole tax code. we can't end social security without causing massive distortionary effects, intergenerational strife, and bankrupting the government in one or another
Address China's violation of free trade norms (protectionism, IP violations, currency manipulation), possibly by reverting to autarky.
Fix the decision-making body, specifically:
-Make gerrymandering illegal
-change the FPTP system to discourage partisanship
-modify Senate rules to require that all other legislation be halted while a filibuster is in place, and require floor debate to uphold a filibuster
Transition the US off of energy dependency, which sends way too much money to our enemies, and which EM demand at the margin will exponentially raise the price of very shortly. specifically:
-massively raise natural resource taxes, specifically gas taxes, to fund infrastructure improvements (railroads, telecom, etc) and self-serving environmental policies
Mandated national service (at market wages). We're not Israel, and no longer need a draft, but the positive externalities that result from military service, if combined with the direct benefits of social integration, make sense
Make unionization illegal for gov't employees
Again, just some ideas.

Agree with what drexalum said. I don't like munger's post though; whilst I'm sure it's comfortable up on his high horse this ridiculous historical parallel commits the typical fallacy of portraying the past as being great and now as being awful, which has been done every decade since forever. Conveniently he omits mention of 'basicland's use of slave labour to fund all these exports that kept the economy growing at 3% for so long.
The US faces serious problems but the idea that people were better off (on average) in the 50s or 60s just doesn't stand up to any realistic quantitative analysis.

JJPP18, definitely fair to say that people have a tendency to think back to the good old days. It's a basic tendency for the brain to favour positive memories. America still has some amazing strengths - some of the greatest entrepreneurs in the world, generally sound infrastructure, well-established rule of law, massive natural resource endowments, the most outstanding universities in the world, massive stores of human capital, and on and on. Unfortunately, I don't think that is sufficient to overcome the challenges that we face.
Ummmm wasnt Munger and Buffet one of those citizens who "more and more whiled away their time in the excitement of casino gambling"?
Munger and Buffett would reply (and probably rightly so) that they were not engaged in gambling; they were allocating capital to real businesses that drive the economy, and doing so with a substantial margin of safety, as Dodd & Graham taught them to.
yet Buffet is 'all in on America' with his purchase of Burlington Northern...
Hopefully Munger's piece is more of a call to action than a serious doomsday scenario.

'How I Met Your Mother' 7.18 Preview: Barney Splashes Cash for Quinn
Barney Stinson is not losing his interest in Quinn (Becki Newton) after finding out she is working as a stripper. In fact, the womanizer may not realize that he is getting played since he is hellbent to pursue Quinn in the next episode of "How I Met Your Mother".
Meeting Quinn in a strip club, Barney is willing to pay $900 and give her his Rolex just to see her dance while he is trying to convince her to go on a second date with him. The other time he visits her workplace, he even brings a bouquet of red flowers.
Talking about how Quinn's arrival affects Barney, executive producer Craig Thomas recently said, "Barney hasn't felt this way about a woman since Robin; he hasn't been this intrigued. So this is Barney getting back out there." He further dished, "It's great to see a character give Barney a run for his money and throw him a little bit and get in his head."
Still dishing on Barney-Quinn relationship, Thomas added, "And it was a fun reveal that she's a stripper because she was playing a little high-and-mighty with him. It's fun to realize she has him so cracked and knows him that well because she's glimpsed him at the strip club that he goes to and he doesn't realize it. He's never seen her there, but she's seen him and knows who he is. She's not purely a psychic in her dissection of Barney."
The new episode of "HIMYM", "Karma", will air Monday, February 27 at 8/7c. Also in it, Marshall and Lily introduce Robin to life in the suburbs and Ted tries to figure out what to do with Robin's old room.
