She is aptly named for receiving an award called Changing Hearts and Minds. But Maureen Valentine, associate dean at Rochester Institute of Technology, earned the award for the personal and professional connections she makes to encourage diverse faculty to consider RIT as a rewarding place to work.
Valentine was presented the 2012 Changing Hearts and Minds Award this fall, given annually to recognize efforts made toward furthering RIT's overall commitment to diversity and enhancing diversity among the faculty ranks within their respective college.
"It's an honor to be recognized for what, to me, is an important job task," says Valentine. She is responsible for faculty affairs in RIT's College of Applied Science and Technology and coordinates its faculty search processes and acts as its liaison to the Office of Faculty Recruitment. "None of this is ever done alone, and as honored as I am with this award, I wouldn't be able to do it without the support of the dean, faculty and staff of the college. The relationship part of this is so important to me."
Those relationships have borne fruit. A faculty search is so much more than what it used to be, she says, and the days of just posting an ad and waiting to see who applies are over. Organizations must actively recruit candidates, including recent graduates of doctoral programs, and her college requires that its faculty have industrial experience as well as academic credentials.
"It keeps our faculty, students and our curriculum anchored. To me that's critical," she says. "We can look at a potential faculty member and say you're going to make a difference here. You'll be connecting with industry, and this has a direct connection back to your students, and I passionately believe in that and so it's easier to sell that to a potential faculty member."
Valentine began in 1992 as a faculty member in RIT's College of Applied Science and Technology, in its civil engineering technology department and later served as its department chairperson. The resident of Pittsford, N.Y., is an advocate for current RIT faculty as well as its newest, participating as a researcher on a cross-college team leading a National Science Foundation ADVANCE grant to identify barriers for women faculty at RIT in regards to rank, tenure, career advancement, leadership role progression and resource allocation.
"In her college liaison role, Maureen has made concerted efforts to work with her faculty search committees to include Future Faculty Career Exploration Program participants in the final interview pools. Her engaged approach in relationship-building resulted in hiring a top AALANA candidate into a post-doctoral position as an opportunistic hire," says Renee Baker, executive director of the Office of Faculty Recruitment and Retention. Baker's group and RIT's Office of the Provost sponsor the Changing Hearts and Minds award.
A monetary award of $2,500 is given to the college to be used to continue recruitment and retention initiatives. Valentine will also receive $500 for her role in supporting hiring program efforts within the college.

TASMANIANS will be charged between double and four times as much for water in 10 years unless councils and state regulators lower expectations, a government business scrutiny hearing has heard.
Water corporations chairman Miles Hampton said the three water corporations, established in 2009, had been expected to fix neglected infrastructure, improve services and provide a return to owner councils.
Mr Hampton said meeting those obligations would have required an increase of 10 per cent every year for 10 years - an unacceptable increase for customers already struggling with cost of living pressures.
Instead the water corporations have implemented 6 per cent increases for the next three years, but Mr Hampton said that would still lead to a 400 per cent increase for some and 100 per cent rise for the average customer.
He called on councils, regulators and state government to urgently address the issue.
``If we do not find a compromise we will inevitably face the rises I have outlined,'' he said.
He said Tasmanian water could become the most expensive in the country, despite there being an abundant supply.
Mr Hampton also revealed 20,475 customers had not paid overdue bills worth $15.2 million.
Despite the massive amount owing, the corporations had rarely punished non-payers by reducing their water supply to a trickle because it was too expensive to send staff out to properties to install and remove the restrictor.
Instead, the corporations are pushing to be able to recover the amount owed when the property is sold.
Another $603,000 owed by customers had been written off last financial year.
The three corporations will merge into a single body next year which is expected to save at least $5 million a year.

Gold farming, which allows users to use real money to purchase in-game currency in massively multiplayer games, has become a controversial issue in the genre.
Professor Richard Heeks, himself a gamer, turned his academic eye to gold farming and found that the industry currently employs an estimated 400,000 people --80% of which are in China-- making an average of $145 per month.
"I initially became aware of gold farming through my own games-playing but assumed it was just a cottage industry," said Heeks. "In a way that is still true. It's just that instead of a few dozen cottages, there turn out to be tens of thousands."
Steven Davis, the chief of online game security firm Secure Play, claims that the criminal underworld has gotten involved. "These [gangs] pay for their accounts with stolen credit cards, take money from players and do not hand over gold or goods in return and fill chat channels with adverts for websites hawking game gold."
Prof. Heeks also compared gold farming to India's tech outsourcing industry, which has roughly double the workers of the gold farming industry but is "still comparable in employment size, yet not at all in terms of profile."
Interestingly, the Chinese gold farming industry has outsourcing of its own. Vietnamese labor, which is cheaper than Chinese labor, means "they now do for Chinese gamers what many in China do for those in the West."

Hands of Mercy Outreach Center is seeking the community's help with its Back to School Mobile Pantry that is planned for Saturday, June 22, at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds Exhibit Building.
"This is our Mobile Pantry that is different than our other ones, because we add a lot of ministries to bless the children of Lincoln County," said Tina Hudson, administrator of the Hands of Mercy Outreach Center. "We will be distributing backpacks with school supplies, shoes, free haircuts, games and refreshments. All this, in addition to providing food boxes for the first 250 families."
The center is asking the community to help by donating school supplies. The supply list includes 24 box Crayola crayons, folders with brads, Fiskar scissors appropriate for children ages 5 and up, glue sticks, wide-ruled paper, and index cards. These supplies can be dropped off at Marvin's Restaurant, Shoney's, CB&S Bank, the Bank of Lincoln County, and Shoe Sensation.
In order to receive a pair of shoes, you must be pre-registered by contacting Keith Jackson at (931) 607-9876.
"Everything is completely free that day," Ms. Hudson continued. "The food boxes and backpacks will be given away on a first-come, first-serve basis."
In order to receive assistance, you will need to bring a driver's license and proof of Lincoln County residency, which can be a current electric bill, insurance bill, etc. The food boxes are one per household, and you must be present to receive any assistance that day.
In order to receive a backpack, your child must be present with you on that day, June 22.
"It will be a great day of ministry," she continued. "We will have face painting, games, food, animal balloons and more for the children to enjoy. We really like to make it a fun, carnival-like atmosphere for the kids. We never want a child to feel bad that they are receiving assistance. We want them to leave knowing that there are people in Lincoln County who care about them and their situation."
This year, the Lincoln County Health Council is partnering with Hands of Mercy Outreach Center to offer free health screenings and information for the children. Blood Assurance will be present to accept blood donations; the Lions Club bus will be on hand to conduct hearing and vision checks; the Lincoln County Health Department will have information available for families; Haven of Hope will offer assistance to victims of abuse and neglect. Additionally, Kay Cowley will be present from Project HELP, and Air Evac will be on hand for people to learn more about their services.
Volunteers are also being sought to assist with the event. If you are interested, please be at the exhibit building at 10 a.m. If you need any additional information, you can "like" the Hands of Mercy Outreach Center on Facebook or you can call (931) 433-7604 and ask for Tina.
"It takes a lot of volunteers to make our Mobile Pantries a success, and I think we have some of the best volunteers in Lincoln County," said Ms. Hudson. "It always makes me feel good about where I live after I see everyone coming together to provide for their neighbors. It's not about who you are, what church you attend or what group you belong to – it's about spreading the love of Christ by meeting a tangible need for people in our community!"

Slow-roasted onions in a decadent sauce sprinkled with cheddar and bacon creates an unforgettable gratin.
The moment I laid eyes on this beautiful creation it was crazy love. I wanted to high-tail it to the kitchen and immediately start making it. It spoke out loud and said my name. That doesn't happen often.
The onions roast with nothing more than olive oil, salt and pepper until their sugars caramelize and they take on a golden color around the edges. They turn strongly sweet while keeping a slightly savory edge to them.
This is an easy way to make caramelized onions without babysitting a pan on top of the stove. Not that I'm against the stove-top method. It's just time-consuming and I'm a multi-tasker. Hands-free caramelized onions? I'm all over it.
The hot, roasted onions are covered in a decadent béchamel made of heavy cream and wine then baked again. The original recipe calls for Gorgonzola; I swapped it out for white cheddar and bacon. Just a touch of each. Over the top. Like sprinkles on a cake.
A finishing touch to further entice you.
Slow-roasted, caramelized onions covered in a decadent sauce sprinkled with cheddar and bacon to create an unforgettable gratin.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Add onions to an 8x8 (or 10ish by 6ish) deep-sided baking dish Drizzle with oil and massage onions with your hands so they are completely coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake 1 hour, halfway through remove from oven and spoon oil off bottom of pan back over onions, return to oven. Once onions are done remove the pan and turn oven up to 400 degrees F.
- Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and stir until smooth; cook 2 minutes stirring often. Whisk in cream and wine until smooth. Continue whisking about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Pour sauce evenly over onions. Sprinkle with cheddar and bacon. Bake 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top. Let set 5 minutes before serving.

The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group based in Tempe, Arizona reported earlier this morning that non-manufacturing activity had expanded for a 16th consecutive month in March, albeit at a modestly slower rate than in February. In all, this report, which covers the key services sector, an area that contributes some 70% of aggregate gross domestic product, registered a reading of 57.3. (Note that a reading above 50.0 signals that the services sector is expanding, while a survey result between 42.0 and 50.0 suggests that this area is contracting, but that the aggregate economy is still improving. A reading below 42.0 is consistent with a recessionary economy. During the depths of the 2007-2009 business downturn, this survey result was often below the 42.0 recession level.)
By comparison, overall business activity was at a somewhat stronger 59.7 pace in February. Pushing the overall increase lower were lesser gains in such components as business production, new orders, employment, supplier deliveries, and prices. Helping to limit the slowdown were accelerating gains in backlogs, new exports orders, and inventory sentiment. It should be noted that each of these components expanded last month, with prices, which came in at 72.1, being the strongest of the various components. This broad strength gives us confidence that non-manufacturing will remain supportive to the economy at large.
In all, the 16 industries reporting growth in March included real estate, rental, and leasing; mining; management; retail trade; arts, entertainment, and recreation; health care and social assistance. Only educational services reported a lessening in activity last month.
Among the respondents chronicled in the latest report, overall observations included sentiment that business activity was steady, but concerns were voiced about high fuel costs and the speed of any recovery in Japan. Others noted that the housing market was still slow getting started, while concerns were expressed about rising prices in a variety of areas.
Overall, it was a decent report, although the aggregate level of non-manufacturing came in a little below expectations. The service sector's advance, while a bit slower, however, seems in no danger of stopping anytime soon. We sense, moreover, that this level of activity is probably consistent with GDP growth of some 3% going forward this year.
At the time of this article's writing, the author did not have positions in any of the companies mentioned.

The Houston Museum of Natural Science was founded in 1909 – meaning that the curators of the Houston Museum of Natural Science have been collecting and preserving natural and cultural treasures for a hundred years now. For this yearlong series, our current curators have chosen one hundred exceptional objects from the Museum's immense storehouse of specimens and artifacts—one for each year of our history. Check back here frequently to learn more about this diverse selection of behind-the-scenes curiosities—we will post the image and description of a new object every few days.
This description is from Dan, the museum's curator of vertebrate zoology. He's chosen a selection of objects that represent the most fascinating animals in the Museum's collections, that we'll be sharing here – and at 100.hmns.org– throughout the year.
During a circus parade in Corsicana, TX during the 1920's, this famous elephant attacked members of the public audience while his handler wasn't paying attention.
What ensued after the attack would surely have been one of the strongest publicized cases regarding humane treatment of captive elephants.
You can see more images of this fascinating artifact – as well as the others we've posted so far this year – in the 100 Objects section at 100.hmns.org

Hard to believe that we are thinking about our holiday award list…but this is when we start looking at our tentative lists…looking at the feedback, checking our list..you get the idea. When we first started we had twenty toys on our top list–now it's close to 50 with all the ties. It has more to do with us not wanting to fight it out anymore. We have both relaxed a bit…but only a bit. Today, as I was going through all the press materials to make sure that we weren't missing anything–my mother was reviewing children's books. Hearing her running commentary is always really entertaining—it's peppered with "this is charming" to "you have to be kidding, you have to read this!"
We have so many water toys that need testing…but it hasn't been warm enough here to ask anyone to get wet! This whole "let's pretend we live in Seattle thing" is getting a little tired.

Understanding and appreciating good food and wine can lend manifold extra dimensions to the otherwise daily routine of eating and drinking,transforming obligation into pleasure, everyday necessity into a celebration
of life.
There is no rhyme or reason to such passions, but any effort
invested in them is never wasted and whilst often non-essential can serve to add an ineffable richness and pleasure to life.
Wine especially is one of the few beverages that can hold intellectual as well as sensory appeal, and if examined closely, each bottle can embody a miniature study in disciplines diverse as history and agriculture through to
I extend an enthusiastic welcome to all, whether you be seasoned aficionado or enthusiastic novice, I value any contribution you might offer. All that I request is that participants conduct themselves with good decorum, and
bestow courtesy and respect to others at all times.
And remember there's neither reason to fear wine or be high-hatted about it - it is there to be enjoyed. The best bottle you'll ever consume shall be due to the company and not the wine itself.
Bibere humanum est, ergo bibamus.
To drink is human, let us therefore drink.

Many people have seen movies such as Zombieland, I Am Legend, Mad Max, and The Road. If you have not, I suggest you stop reading this and rent them before you no longer have the electricity (due to the inevitable zombie apocalypse) to power your DVD player. In these movies as well as one of my favorite series, The Walking Dead, you see the survivors driving around in cars and using guns. That is all good and well if the breakout has just recently happened. And if cars and guns are what you need to make it through the initial event, then by all means do so. However, there is going to come a point where you will run out of the resources we as a civilization have become accustomed to over our history on this planet. Continue reading

Weapon Review: The Reaper
Today we at ZPDN are very excited to bring you our initial review of one of the most lethal blades we've ever seen: The Reaper from Zombie Tools!
One look at their site and you'll realize that the guys over at ZombieTools are kindred spirits in our fight against the shambling undead. These guys take the necropocalypse seriously, and they have the weapons to prove it. We've been dying to get our hands on these death-dealing devices for a long time now.
Here's how Zombie Tools describes The Reaper:
This 4-foot tool is truly an instrument of death. Cut from quarter-inch spring steel, she barely notices when you hit bone. With black leather wrapped around the handholds of the aluminum slab grip, this 6 pound piece of potential violence makes one ooze badassery just holding it.
My wife's birthday came up, and if a present of a 4-foot instrument of death doesn't say "Happy Birthday!" I don't know what does. My wife has had her eye on The Reaper for more than a year now, and this was the perfect opportunity to arm please her on her big day.
The first thing we noticed about The Reaper is the weight. This blade feels heavy. This isn't like a Cold Steel sword; this thing is solid from tip to tip. (And please don't get us wrong; we like Cold Steel blades. We just like this one so very much more.) One of the reasons The Reaper is so heavy is that it has a full tang blade, meaning that the metal in the blade runs all the way through the weapon – all 4 feet! This is one way to differentiate real blades from showy props. The last thing you want in the zombie apocalypse is a blade with a rat-tail tang. The grip, made from aluminum, blends almost seamlessly with the tang of the blade. The handle is almost the perfect width for my wife's hands, and fits very comfortably in mine.
The blade of The Reaper has a very solid feel, and very little flex or bend even under severe pressure. The blade is thick enough that you don't need to worry about it breaking under a twisting pressure. We also love the decoration on the blade – it adds just the right distressed look to the blade. Don't let that distressing fool you – this blade is more solid than any we've handled before. On the handle this distressing takes on a
dimensional quality, actually digging small groves into the aluminum. When we first unboxed it, my fear was that this distressing could perhaps cut the wielder's hand during normal use, but after rubbing my hand over the handle my fears quickly vanished. The guys at Zombie Tools clearly made this weapon to be handled, and there are no burrs or jagged spots on the handle at all. The distressing grooves actually add to the grip of the blade, making it easier to handle, especially when your hands are wet.
The black Kydex sheath, which covers just the blade, is better than I expected. Even though the sheath stays on the blade quite securely by itself, my wife plans to secure this even further using a clasp near the bottom of the sheath in order to ensure that it stays in place during practice with the weapon.
That brings me to another point – it would be wicked awesome to be able to get a training blade appropriate for drills and workouts – something not sharp, nor very pointed at the end. The real thing begs to be drilled with, given its weight, but it is dangerous enough that I don't want to spar with it. A training "blank" with about the same dimensions and as heavy or heavier than the real thing would be the perfect training tool.
I'm a big fan of customizing weapons, and another customization that would fit The Reaper well is to be able to attach the sheath to the blade via a paracord lanyard. Thus when you need to pop it off to lop the heads of a mob of stenches, the sheath will stay attached to the blade and won't get lost in the fracas. The other customization the blade begs for is a carry strap. This blade is likely longer than your rifle, and it'd be only natural to strap it on your back. The Kydex sheath is threaded with eyelets, so these will be useful in making some of these customizations.
The Reaper really lives up to its picture – this thing is hardcore to the bone. You know that game people play where they say:
"Look to your left. The first object there is now your weapon in the zombie apocalypse. How screwed are you?"
(What, you've never played that game? You clearly have never been to my house.) I want to keep this Reaper next to me all the time now. But my wife isn't letting go of her new baby any time soon, so I'd better get myself my own blade from Zombie Tools. Hmmm … the Hellion sure looks awesome!
One last thing we want to mention is the killer customer service we received from Zombie Tools. Blades this awesome take time, and with Christmas back-orders, I was expecting to get the blade a few weeks after my wife's birthday. The guys there worked their tails off to get this blade to me by her birthday (thanks Chris!) and they were awesome to work with. These guys care about their craft, a point made clearly when you heft their blades. We hope they keep outfitting mankind to deal with the undead threat for years to come.
We're trying to work out how best to test out the Reaper's cutting power in a weapons test, and as soon as we figure that out we'll bring that to you. Until then, Zombie Tools gets the ZPDN seal-of-approval!
The verdict: 5 out of 5
What's the best zombie-slaying weapon you've ever encountered? Tell us about it in the comments!

At, the same time the council approved the appointment of Betty Sargant as chairman of the Trojan open forum. Her name was placed before the council by President Lawrence Pritchard. Pritchard "nnounced the park plan for the council's approval and after an hour of debate, the group passed a motion which provided for a campaign among the student body to raise funds for the project, and rejected a second motion which would have directed Pritchard to confer with the administration on the advisability of using Associated Students' fundi for the park. Cost To Be $1850 The vote was 10 to 4 ln favor of the campaign, and 7 to 7 with Pritchard casting a negative vote against the second motion. Cost of thc park will be approximately $1850. Pritchard said, and of this amount $500 will be furnished by the university, $800 by the senior class, and the balance would have to be raised by the student body. He said he had already made arrangements with both the administration and the senior class president, Bob Love, to obtain these monies. Worth Bernard, president of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences. objected to the idea of staging a campaign for the balance on the ground that the Associated Students could easily furnish the whole amount instead of the $500 which lt was going to give. Prefers l oan Fund 'With fees to the right of us and charges to the left of us, there ls no reason why the student body should bear the burden of this cost," he cald. "While I pledge my support to this project. I would rather give my aid to a fund to assure needy students on the campus three square meals a day."

Emerald Green 2013 Color of the Year
green by lsmith2008 featuring mineral powder makeup
According to Pantone, Emerald Green is the color of 2013, and this polyvore set really screams…GREEN!! Peppermint essential oil from Natures Garden was featured in this polyvore set, and I just love it! Personally, I am a Lime Green girl myself, but I can understand why emerald green is the color of the year for 2013. After several "rocky" economic years in the US, accompanied by the potential "end of the world" scenario predicted by the Mayans, people are seeking balance and harmony in their lives; a rebirth if you will. Green is a color that encompasses both of these feelings. In addition, there is a trend towards seeking a simpler life, getting back to our roots, and an overall appreciation for nature. So…YOU GO GREEN…I love ya!

If you are on the Galaxy S like I am, Froyo started rolling out today in the UK [androidcentral.com] - hoping the US is not far behind.
If you have root like I do, you probably have had froyo for months
And this is one of the main reasons not to get an Android phone. In order to get upgrades you have to root(jailbreak) the phone. Apple may be a control freak, but at least they are willing to support their products for more than 6 months.
So many Android phones have come and gone one would think that an game AI was trying to find the right product. I just realized Android phones are the Zerg of cell phones. Cheap, mass produced, and die off quickly.
By your definition, Apple's products complete fit the bill. In fact, given one product problem after another, even without your comments, they seemingly fit the bill. Though honestly, I don't believe your assessment of the market, Android+iPhone is even close to reality.
Just the same, Android phones vary widely in fit, function, and quality. Some even exceed the iPhone's quality by a wide margin. Android's success is not because "resistance is futile" mentality as you attempt to push. Its succeeding because
I am honestly not trolling... But, please tell me which Android phone is "well beyond what Apple currently provides [in the iPhone 4]"...
Several HTC, Samsung, and Moto devices have all been highly regarded. Especially the latest Samsung S series units. Moto and HTC also make some of the lowest of the lower end devices too.
Seriously, go check out some of the android sites like www.androidguys.com and you will find lots of good information on good Android devices.
Generally the biggest complaint about Android devices originate from the the Apple camp and it almost always boils down to - its not an iPhone and/or it doesn't run the OS I'm used to
Owning a Fascinate (verizon galaxy s phone) I can say that while advanced, and smart, it is not really any measure better than the iPhone. Lacking a front facing camera, any sort of LED message notification, and sporting a screen technology that is both lower in resolution and far harder on battery life make it impossible to ever classify it as "well beyond what apple currently provides". The incredible's lack of significant screen resolution (even after the switch to LCD to improve reliability and batter
The S family is actually fairly large. I can't speak to your particulars but I can absolutely assure you, there are many phones which are on par or simply out class the iPhone.
Much of your complaints are also of the personal opinion variety rather than technical merit. That goes back to my open mindedness comment before.
As a cellphone is something one must live with day in and day out, personal opinion on size/shape/feel are HUGE factors, and dismissing these with a wave of your hand is incredibly ignorant. Feel free to include details on your merit-based argument if you *really* think it's that compelling.
You're trolling.
Your personal opinion is not my personal opinion. The opinions of the iPhone crowd rarely match that of the Android crowd which rarely match that of the "other" crowd. So your saying it doesn't match your personal opinion holds zero sway. The legitimate point remains, with absolutely no hand waving, excluding your own. There are many Android devices which are superior to that of the iPhone. Period.
Which means, strictly based on your own personal opinion, its up to you if you can find one you
You're such an anti-apple fanatic that you can't see the forest for the trees, and think that anything outside your notion of "fair" is a troll. I asked you twice to name these specific "technical, non-subjective features" that you insist certain phones posses that make them superior to the iPhone. Please do so, unless you want to be the one trolling.
So many Android phones have come and gone one would think that an game AI was trying to find the right product. I just realized Android phones are the Zerg of cell phones. Cheap, mass produced, and die off quickly.
I'd have to agree with you. I have a Droid Eris that Verizon has declared end -of-life in under a year of its release, and they have also stated it will never be updated to 2.2. I have no choice but to root the phone, since I'm not going to buy a newer, shinier unsubsidized device at $600+ a pop.
Yes like my ipod touch, that for one update i had to PAY to get the upgrade, and now is completely un supported. Yep... apple rules. Oh no, wait.. the suck. And that's why I bough an android phone.
And you don't have to root your phone to get an update, but you CAN.
Damn fanboys.
If you have genuine security needs (and concerns) like I do, you wouldn't touch a rooting system and hacked rom with a 10 meter patch cord. Hoping for increased security by running "newer" code from completely untrusted sources... What could possibly go wrong?
Samsung or Sprint (I forget which) already stated that the Moment (which I am posting this from) will NOT be getting 2.2. We are STUCK with 2.1.
2 year contract, 6 month technology cycle. Didn't you expect this? I know I did when I bought mine. Just root the sucker and put on a third party rom, which runs incredibly better anyway.
I came with 1.5. I was PLEASANTLY suprised they upgraded to 2.1. Lots of other phones released at the same time are going 2.2. This one was abandonded. Android 2.2 comes with tethering and Sprint doesn't want that (without fees).
"I came with 1.5."
You are a serious enthusiast. I am loved my first Android phone, as well as my recent one, and I plan on getting the Mytouch HD now that is has been released, but I never came; it didn't even get me hard.

Try to be serious. Do you really think I hadn't considered that? A sentient being capable of doing such a thing would hardly waste their time with Slashdot. Sheesh

N900 is pretty good. 3 core updates (I think) so far plus a upgrade to Meego when it is finished.
Also half the price of similar phones.
Really? It was still $500 when I considered the N900. (I chose against it because I don't want a stylus; I want multitouch.)
But the catalog of applications available is dire. Nobody is developing for it. Yes there are a few apps which are really cool, but they're the exception, and they don't have the same level of polish as you'd expect from Android or iPhone apps. And still no decent Webkit browser!
I'm dumping my N900 for an Android device as soon as I'm out of contract. Sad really because the hardware is excellent, and it had a lot of potential.
Erm...Why do you want a Webkit browser?
Its got essentially raw Firefox and all its capabilities.
As alternatives it has Fennec and Opera as well.
Because Webkit is superior to Gecko - it's faster and it uses less memory. The built in MicroB browser is not very quick. Fennec is even worse. The GUI responses lag behind the input noticeably.
I wasn't aware of Opera being available for the N900 though, I will give it a try.
I doubt Webkit would do any better than MicroB on the N900. Remember that its processor it half the speed of most newer phones.
And no Gecko is not inherently slow and bloaty. Put any experience you have with desktop Firefox away because it doesnt quite apply to Fennec or MicroB.
One problem is that the phone makers insist on idiotic customizations of the android interface, so updates can take a long time because they have to update the customizations as well as the OS.
The other problem is that hardware becomes outdated and perhaps challenging to update. T-mobile just started updating the MyTouch 3G (which I have). This is a 15-month-old phone running stock android, and I think it took them a long time because the hardware is old.

Emphasis added.
I don't think this is as trivial a problem as some of the commenters would suggest.
It's trivial because those customizations that hinder updates are idiotic. If they were important and non-essential then it would be non-trivial. As it stands, the problem is very easy to solve.
You're right, but
It's easy to solve if customers demand clean implementations. I don't see that happening anytime soon. No one I know (apart from friends who are the type to read slashdot) even knows what android is, let alone the difference between "with google" and not.

It's phone makers AND carriers. The only real reason
Won't it be nice if someone sues a carrier for not providing updates
So you would be happy to encourage carriers to pick phones that do not have updates so they won't be liable for not providing the updates to customers?
Yeah, well, I've got the original CLIQ, which is just getting the long-awaited upgrade from 1.5 to 2.1, with very few hopes of getting an official bump to 2.2. I wonder if they can backport the WebKit fix from 2.2 into 2.1 without breaking everything in sight.
The Nexus 1 uses stock android though.
the majority of HTC models lag 6-12 months behind in updates simply because they have to make sure their UI updates correctly on the older hardware. It is also why HTC stops updating phones much earlier than apple does simply because it becomes far to much work for a limited group that you want to purchase new phones anyways.
As an aside, does anyone know what phone makers are good about keeping updates coming?
Um, anything supported by CyanogenMOD [slashdot.org]? I specifically shopped for a phone on their list.
Not as convenient as OTA updates, sure. But there's enough good stuff in there to make it well worth the effort to flash from 2.1 to 2.2
HTC and Verizon have been good on the Incredible. The second update to the phone in 6 months is set to go next week. This will be a minor update to the Froyo release that went out in August / September I believe. I also expect that we'll see Gingerbread a month or two after it's released.
As an aside, does anyone know what phone makers are good about keeping updates coming?
No. I have a Nexus One and am extremely pleased with it. The unlocked bootloader means I can run whatever version of the operating system I want. Google releases the source code months (in some cases, maybe years) before most phone manufacturers get around to offering an update, but modding communities like CyanogenMod [cyanogenmod.com] have an extremely fast turnaround. They build for many different handsets, by different vendors, patch often (there are nightly releases available if you're into that), and don't seem to have
I wouldn't stand for having a computer that restricted the software I'm allowed to run on it, and I don't see any reason to change that philosophy for using a "smartphone."
Having come late to the smartphone joy ride, I've concluded that it's a fucking waste of time, and in future I'll stick to using computers for the internet and everything else, and leave the phone for calls and texts only.
I really can't be bothered with having to update the operating system for what is still basically just a phone.
I really can't be bothered with having to update the operating system for what is still basically just a phone.
You know, a lot of people would say that same thing about their computers. And if you're thinking of devices like the Nexus One as "basically just a phone," you haven't spent time with one. Even calling it "basically just a computer" is selling it short; this thing has a faster processor, more RAM, and more storage space than my desktop computer from ten years ago. And it fits in my pocket.
If you want to be all "Get off my lawn" about smartphones, be my guest. But the influx of mobile computing is happenin
What about the rest on versions lower than 2.2?
Google provided the code with the fix in it, it's up to the manufacturers to give it to the people that bought the phone.
Isn't this roughly similar to the effects obtained by the earlier exploits on iOS? However, there many users first feeling was some relief from the monolithic Apple gate system, but here on Android the spin feels more like traditional tech news.
Isn't this roughly similar to the effects obtained by the earlier exploits on iOS?
Technically it is. But unless you bought your Android phone from AT&T, you have the option to put in your own command prompt through "Unknown sources". So any jailbreaks for Android are considered less necessary, and the risk outweighs the benefit.
Even if you do have an AT&T Android phone, which I do, it is still possible to use apk (a tool found in the Android SDK) to transfer programs to the phone. It's pretty simple to use too. Of course, to get rid of the crapware AT&T installs, rooting is still required.
I read the headline and immediately thought a mad scientist was about to unleash an army of things resembling a cross between Spiderman and the Terminator, and we should all cower in terror in our makeshift basement bunkers awaiting our inevitable destruction.
But TFA revealed it's just a smartphone hack.
All we need is a brand of toilet paper called "Flying Car" and my disappointment with the 21st century will be complete.
I wonder if there is any law which covers this sort of situation. The original G1 was only released like 3 years ago - not really very old, but T-Mobile has completely abandoned owners/users of the G1 and is not providing any additional updates.
Honestly, I blame Google. From day 1, it should have been mandatory that OS updates would come from Google, forever. Carriers don't give a crap about keeping users in updated code once the phone is sold. To them, it's just a device which comes in a box, gets sold, and if it becomes 'obsolete' within 2 years, well that's just another box they can sell you in 2 years.
It's absolutely inexcusable that a programmable, Internet enabled device of the complexity of a G1 should not have guaranteed security updates for the included software, for a minimum of 10 years.
10 years support for a phone is never going to happen, and it shouldn't. A ten year old device like that would be hopelessly outdated. Even something 2 years old looks pretty pathetic nowadays. They should however be forced to provide updates for the duration of your contract. I know mobile contracts over in the US are pretty fucked up, but here in the UK my current phone is on a two year contract. I just got the update to 2.2 yesterday, but I've still got another 20+ months of contract to run. That's certa
One of the selling points of the Google Nexus One phone was direct support from Google, and therefore the quickest updates. The phone is quite a bit more expensive than the HTC desire/incredible, which is practically the same phone.
I don't know why you've selected the G1 - it was one of the better supported phones. It got all the upgrades for the first year, from 1.0 to 1.6.
Pick something like LG GW620/Eve/InTouch Max/KH5200. Released in 2010, in dozens of countries, running android 1.5, it was never updated and was fully abandoned by manufacturer and carriers in under 6 months. There are hundreds of thousands of them out there on 18 or 24 month contracts which won't expire until 2012.
It is fully capable of running android 2.2, and
Yes, there will be a lot of trouble once people lose all their contacts & emails, buy a random Market app for 1000 and similar.
But this will _force_ makers, vendors, network operators and everyone else to introduce sane update policies. These machines are a small PC. They need the same software update capabilities.
I've got a bad feeling about this.

You can see the sizes by the meter / yard stick underneath. Someone brought me quite a few of these today from a house he was cleaning out in Alameda. I thought they were kind of interesting. i'd say they were reprinted in the 1970s, maybe. They are in perfect condition.

Chris Rick's catch on Jan. 19 tied a state record for crappie that's been on the books for nearly 15 years.
The Jamestown angler reeled in a 3-pound, 4-ounce crappie from the Jamestown Reservoir.
The record was established in 1998 by Don Newcomb, a Mandan angler who was fishing Lake Oahe.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Allies of the Democratic Party are handing out "orders" to Pennsylvania's Republican members of Congress, demanding an end to the partial shutdown of the federal government.
Michael Morrill, director of the liberal group Keystone Progress, said Tuesday that the messages were being delivered to the offices of Pennsylvania's 13 Republican House members and GOP Sen. Pat Toomey.
Other organizers of the event included MoveOn, the AFL-CIO and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
In Washington, meanwhile, House Republicans scrambled to counter an emerging bipartisan Senate deal to reopen the government and forestall a default on U.S. obligations.
But two days before a debt deadline, it was unclear whether the GOP leadership could hold it together amid grumbling by party conservatives.

Despite the success of indie darling Bastion, a sequel is not in the works. According to Super Giant Games' Greg Kasavin, the developer now has the freedom to self-fund its next project and the team wants to work on something fresh.
"Thankfully Bastion has performed well enough to give us the resources to create another game on our own terms, meaning we can self-fund the project and take the time we need to get it right."
"Our stance around what we want to do in the future hasn't changed in light of Bastion's success," Kasavin told Eurogamer. Though he wouldn't confirm the developer's upcoming plans, he did note that the "core team" will remain on staff to craft its next title.
"We always intended for Bastion to be a stand-alone game though we did aim to create a rich world for it that could potentially support other stories," he said, leaving some hope for a return to the universe in the future. "It can't just be a financially motivated decision because that's not how Bastion was created in the first place."

Ehrhardt's Waterfront Resort provided the backdrop for Sunday's gala celebration
The Wallenpaupack girls basketball program finally closed down its season with a celebratory banquet Sunday night at Ehrhardt's.
Players, coaches, volunteers, and families from all of the Lady Bucks' squads showed up to recount their teams' accomplishments and enjoy in some fellowship.
While the varsity squad claimed the district title and made a run into the state playoffs, theirs' was not the only winning season among the program.
From the 5th/6th grade program, to the junior high teams, to the JV cagers, success was certainly not in short supply.
Big Numbers
Coach Stu Wirth noted how the 5/6th grade travel team touted a 7-0 record.
The youngest Lady Bucks claimed second place in the championships; placed third in the Christmas Tournament; and won the Stroudsburg Tournament for the second year in a row.
Rachael Tirjan was selected by her fellow players to receive the Lady Buckhorn Award for her accomplishments and team leadership.
Coach Wirth hopes the current batch of 5/6th grade players can have future successes in the same way as this year's varsity team did.
Scott Bonagura, coach of the 7th grade team, congratulated the high school teams for setting a standard for the younger players to strive for.
His young ladies went 9-4 this season and he noted that they were a "Defensive Juggernaut."
While he noted that they started off a bit flat, all he asked of his team was that they make improvements day-by-day. That's just what they did and they ended up with a winning season.
Alissa Alexander was chosen by her peers to receive the Lady Buckhorn Award for her grade level.
Eighth grade coach Amber Supko's squad went undefeated in regular play.
They took a third place award at the Stroudsburg Tournament and claimed first place in the Christmas Tournament.
Brianna Denniston was named Outstanding Defensive Player and Katie Irving was given the Coach's Award. The Lady Buckhorn Award for the 8th Grade was awarded to Olivia Scartelli.
Coach Cynthia Tillger took the opportunity to thank all of the players, parents, coaches, and supporters who helped the JV squad achieve a 14-7 record.
She noted the team worked hard all season, worked well together, and showed a lot of hustle even when times were tough. Irene Dispenza was given the Lady Buckhorn Award for the second year in a row.
"She does whatever it takes to win, whether that's sinking a clinch basket or giving water to a fellow player when it's her turn to sit on the bench," noted Tillger.
The Champs
Varsity Head Coach Adam Holtzer admitted he was unsure about coaching the girls' team when he was first asked.
"This was the best decision of my life," he stated.
He noted how the girls rose to the occasion whenever necessary.
Paying particular attention to the seniors, he cited Paige Hiller as being a quiet leader who is a feared defender. He lauded Kaelyn Ragonese for being versatile and for playing wherever she was needed.
He related how Dani Palazzi kept the team laughing and smiling but also noted her shooting skills.
He explained how Lexi Roman's leadership and her style speak for itself. He noted her presence in the paint and at the boards will be missed.
Roman was named by her fellow teammates to receive the Lady Buckhorn Award for the varsity level for her contributions to the 21-6 record and her drive and leadership both on, and off the court.
Many Thanks
Closing the evening, Laura Ragonese thanked the Booster Club and told how it had evolved form a few parents making dinner for the team at their homes to a complex operation.
She thanked all the boosters for their continued support of the Lady Buck basketball program. She also noted that key boosters will be moving on and that others will be needed to help fill the void.
Given the caliber of players at their various levels, one doesn't need a crystal ball to see that Wallenpaupack Area girls basketball will continue to be successful.
Talent and hard work can be found at every level of the program and as one class moves on, another will certainly move in and pick up where their predecessors left off.
Laying a solid foundation for younger players and building upon the success of those that came before is a Buckhorn tradition and there seems to be no sign of anyone breaking from it at this point.

Kang Table, Northern Elm (Yumu)
The Kang is an elevated platform built into many of China's traditional houses that receives heat from the cooking stove flues that pass underneath the Kang to vent outdoors. In Winter, with the absence of central heat, the Kang was the place where families ate and slept together. As a result furniture was built low to the ground so that it would function well on top of the Kang. This is one such table.
What sets this table apart from many others is the design of its legs and apron. The top is constructed in the typical picture frame molding design, and sits on a fairly short waist. The apron, however, flares out in dramatic fashion, and the legs are cabriole in style ending with paw on ball feet. The pad on ball is highly suggestive of the "Fu" dogs with one of the dogs having his paw on a large ball. The apron and the legs have the added refinement of a simple line carving with a dimple in the center of the apron. This maker must have had a great sense of humor. Over 100 years old.

Hundreds of visitors from Asia and the United States will be in Dothan on Wednesday, for the U.S. - China Manufacturing Symposium. Businesses from across the Tri-States are setting up booths inside a tent next to the Dothan Civic Center. Chinese visitors will browse different companies and discuss possible investment opportunities. Also, there will be interpreters on hand. They said this symposium can become the avenue to establish nationwide relationships.
"It can be the place for people to meet and that's actually one of the major benefits of the future potential of a symposium like this. It really could become an annual event that becomes the national location for the bridge-building concept of China – U.S. business relationships," explained Amschel Foltz, a Chinese Linguist Consultant.
All interpreters will be wearing pink shirts so people can easily identify them. They also explained it will be beneficial to learn simple Chinese, such as "hello" or "thank you."
