|flash is more damage resistant (7:29am est fri may 20 2005)
another thing is what if you are klutzy. imagine dropping it while the drive is operational. might be pretty nasty. – by frobozz
|on the other hand (9:04am est fri may 20 2005)
with all the ipods out there, especially the ipod minis (which use the same microdrive), they can't be very fragile.
but i agree, the non-replaceable battery is a hit against the device. hopefully, palmone will realize this and revise the device accordingly.
as for the screen, do you really need the highest resolution screen available today? 320×480 is nothing to sneeze at, and the screen quality is good. – by mr. osborne
|get your own opinion (9:30am est fri may 20 2005)
"i have not yet received a review unit"
i think that sums it up. – by meh
|lifedrive will bomb! (10:31am est fri may 20 2005)
mark my word! hey palmone, do you listen to your customers at all? your board o' directors are a bunch of visionless overpaid clueless mormons! c'mon, get real! – by haha
|synopsis isn't all that its cracked up to be (10:37am est fri may 20 2005)
give me a break. 320×480 is a fantastic resolution. extremely little to no pixelation. you're not getting much of a benefit from the 640×480, except for less battery life.
same thing goes for the brightnesss. i don't tend to give a hoot about maximum brightness as i keep them down to max the battery. you should be checking for how well it shows in sunlight which is a much more important consideration.
come on. it's pretty cool having a harddrive. it'll be wicked fun to have videos, pictures, music, e-books is decent quantities for that airplane trip. also, unlike the dell, it has a real directional button. microsoft must be full of kool-aid supporting hdd in magneto, huh? -> then it'll be a great idea!
i don't know many (let me make that any) people that carry a spare battery for their pda. it's one of those nice ideas on paper. yea, i like a replaceable as opposed to pulling out the screwdriver — but its not that big a deal.
where's the old fair and balanced palmsolo???? – by mike
|free (10:58am est fri may 20 2005)
i would like it if someone would give me one of these for free – by red
|spare battery (10:58am est fri may 20 2005)
the replaceable battery is not just for carrying a spare but to be able to swap out instantly. like when you got sloppy drunk last night and forgot to put the device in the charger stand. a fresh battery will keep your device working which makes the hangover a little more tolerable :) – by jqp
|strange… (11:10am est fri may 20 2005)
that harddrives are appearing in pda's only recently. microdrives have been around for a few years, and palm could have made a great mp3 player/pda combination ages ago. and i agree, a swappable battery is a very useful thing when you're carrying around a pda. they are really important to some people, so you'd want to count on it all day long.
true, flash is more shock-resistant and doesn't need to spin up, but when you drop your pda it could very easily be your screen that breaks instead of the hd. and if you install a decent flash module, which stores commonly used programs and a ram module for cache, you could have a hell of a speedy pda.
mike, could you explain to me how a higher resolution decreases battery life? to me, it should make a difference, but then again, i could be wrong… – by denial
|edit (11:12am est fri may 20 2005)
higher res shouldn't make a difference of course… – by denial
|get a life(drive) (11:54am est fri may 20 2005)
denial…. you are completely wrong… higher resolution means nore cpu to process all those extra pixels and more power to backlight them… doh! – by fanboy
|lifedrive is not all that (12:22pm est fri may 20 2005)
i'm passing on this one and pink is my favorite colour and i love my ipod and microsoft suck and ps3 will rule and sony sux. flame war. – by itard
|higher res (12:39pm est fri may 20 2005)
fanboy, i can understand that higher resolution would stress the cpu more, but imo backlights are simply ccfl's, who use as much energy to backlight a 16×16 pix screen as it would backlighting a vga res, as long as the screen is the same size… – by denial
|well, i held one last night (12:49pm est fri may 20 2005)
when palmone reps were guest speakers at the new england palm users group meeting.
i tried to compare the display to my t3 but forgot the sunlight test. doh! i could have at least used the projector light as a substitute.
i miss how the m515 screen got easier to read in the sun with no backlight.
the rep was unable to connect wi-fi at mit so we didn't get to experience streaming.
media apps do take longer to launch.
i also noticed that i never started voice memo by mistake, a regular occurence on my t3.
beforehand, a zipcad demo (on a t3) connecting to a bluetooth laser ruler revealed the room was chock full of bluetooth devices. :-) – by kev, a swing dancer
|where's cobalt? (1:03pm est fri may 20 2005)
at first, i was all insistent about having vga screen, but then i noticed that even the psp doesn't have one (480×272) and yet it can play movies that look amazing. so right now, i don't feel that a vga screen is that important.
but my most important concern is… where's cobalt! it's been incubating for some time now. i'd have thought that the new palm would definitely use it, but it's using garnet instead. is cobalt dead already? – by supperman
|picked on up last night (1:28pm est fri may 20 2005)
and am posting this from the lifedrive.
don't read everything you read – very little lag and pretty stable.
all-in-all, it is very usable. – by ld
|oops (1:29pm est fri may 20 2005)
make that "don't believe everything you read".
a good pda still can't prevent stupid typos. – by ld
|let's see (2:34pm est fri may 20 2005)
state of the art is the pda iv:
640×480, keyboard, phone, etc.
current 2gb flash sd sells at ~$140 (10mb/s performance).
all assembled for around ~500 in july.
you want capacity to collect all your data?
get an archos with ~80gb or more.
life drive:
the naysayers are right. it will bomb hard. too little too late. – by thunk
|re: ld (2:44pm est fri may 20 2005)
thank you. – by george w.
|clueless …yes (5:49pm est fri may 20 2005)
"…overpaid clueless mormons! c'mon, get real! – by haha"
but i did not know they were mormons? – by onefinger
|hmmm (6:02pm est fri may 20 2005)
interesting concept this life drive is! i'm intrigued and i am ex palm user. they probably have a second generation life drive in development already. this first one is just to some initial $$! then again what i know. – by ty
| i see this as (7:18pm est fri may 20 2005)
a trial balloon, proof of concept. if you like it, buy it: if not, don't. i am most curious to see if this hd approach will be extended to the treo line. or perhaps a couple gigs of solid state memory would be more appropriate for a phone? – by earl e adopter
|re:i see this as (10:08pm est fri may 20 2005)
my take is this is palm's attempt at moving into the pda entertainment space and taking up the vacuum that sony left with the clie. everyone has been focusing on the harddrive, but remember, palm finally got a full screen device with wifi in it as well.
i think the lifedrive will be an excellent device. no reason really not to. if i didn't need to carry a phone around, i'd jump on it. otherwise i'm happy with my treo 650. – by mike
|resolution does matter! (10:36pm est fri may 20 2005)
i love the screen on my toshiba e800. i had to buy a higher-capacity battery, but that was a small price to pay for such a gorgeous screen.
putting a hard drive in a treo would kill battery life. that's ok for a pda, but unacceptable for a smartphone. – by virtuous
|yeah (5:33am est sat may 21 2005)
this market isn't very stable anyhow, it is really hard to predict success. i am a palm fan and i own a pocket pc b/c of hardware wait and see. the lifedrive has its market. – by piroteck
|agree with 'get your own opinion' (12:28pm est sat may 21 2005)
anytime a tech reviewer issues an opinion based solely on what he or she reads from others, that to me makes that 'opinion' useless. so – go get one, try it, give it a run, and then issue an opinion…. – by anon
|not his fault! (5:13pm est sat may 21 2005)
it's not palmsolo's fault p1 hasn't shipped a review unit to him yet. you don't have had used one to render an opinion on it. it's clear p1 has blown it again. – by virtuous
|sounds awesome (6:02pm est sat may 21 2005)
too expensive though – by 123321
|review/preview units (12:38am est sun may 22 2005)
heh – even i didn't get a preview unit this time around *g*
but, i did notice that there was 67mb of memory available (ram) – this means that there is a 128mb memory chip in the device the dynamic heap and other reserved memory is using the other potions of the ram. i'm not sure why different reviewers are saying different memory.
i picked mine up at compusa :) – by ardiri
|hey (12:40pm est sun may 22 2005)
how much of a difference does the harddrive make in terms of slowness? does it really take a lot more time to start up apps and play music? – by refonders
|agustous (12:41pm est sun may 22 2005)
visor deluxe forever! – by stinky
|the real disappointment (12:30am est mon may 23 2005)
is that there is no phone functionality included. why develop a device like this, in this day of convergence, without including the basic ability to communicate in the easiet way we currently know. if this device had 3g compatability it would definitely be worth a second look. currently, and sadly, its not. – by itsaphoney
|palmsolo – dark side? (9:57am est mon may 23 2005)
actually, what disappoints me most is palmsolo making such a post. do you really need to post so badly, that you cannot wait to test the device yourself, and then give us a good, non biased review? i guess you were taken by the nay-sayer-hype.
i really liked the treo-coverage. that was objecitve and informational. you put out what you wanted to use the device for and then wrote how well it managed. this at least gives the reader an inpression about the device and it�s handling.
but i guess you already regret your post, or you are happy about the hot discussion:-) – by disappointed
|life drive (10:45pm est mon may 23 2005)
i've a 1 gig microdrive in my clie' nx 70 for several years, only after downloading a $39 program to get it working. so in three years, the only advancement is the size of the drive and screen resolution? – by rayj
|hd replacement (10:20pm est tue may 24 2005)
does any one know if the hd can be replaced with the 6 gb drive? – by c5
|lifedrive (2:07pm est sat may 28 2005)
i've been waiting for some time to get a p1 pda with wi-fi and bluetooth. i had a c, but it was aging and not suiting my needs, so i upgraded intermittently to a t5 (terrible mistake). when lifedrive came out, i sold my t5 and bought lifedrive. i am so happy that i did. there is a small lag in opening some apps, but the ones that you need to open quickly are very light and open quickly. res is a moot point. 480×320 is perfectly fine. keep in mind that with a 640×480 res, most apps wouldn't be supported for full res. plus on the ppcs with vga res, the text is so freaking small…
the naysayers are wrong. the t5 will bomb, simply because it doesn't have the features. this will not, and this message board is evident. palmone cares about profitablility more than marketshare. they want to sell the units they manufacture for more than the cost of manufacturing. 'nuff said. i'm going to do some disassembly of the case and see if the hdd is upgradable. i'll also check out the battery. in my c, the battery was replacable, but in the t5 it was soldered into the motherboard. if anyone knows of a website that would have information about disassembly of the t5, i would appreciate it. im-cnerd2025 – by cnerd2025
|mormons? (2:08pm est sat may 28 2005)
yeah, the real "moron" is the one who mislables people as "mormons" instead of "morons." if you insult someone, do it correctly, please. – by cnerd2025
|ipaq hx4705 (9:31pm est thu jun 16 2005)
4″ tft vga, great lighting, 624mhz processor, cfii, sd, bt, irda, wifi, 192mb rom, 64mb sdram, and a replaceable battery.
guess i made the right choice.

In addition to the Apple Watch, BMW has also developed an app that runs on the Samsung Gear smartwatch. The app is called "i Remote", and it won first place at CES in the "Software and Mobile Apps" category this year.
According to TechDrive the i Remote watch app will not only give an insight into the car's charging status, but will also monitor the battery's condition, and lifespan. It can also be used to adjust the cabin temperature before the vehicle is entered, and enable the driver to remotely lock the doors. It can also flash the headlights, honk the horn, and find the nearest charging station.
Other vehicle OEMs that jumped on the smartwatch bandwagon at CES included Audi. The company developed an app that can run on an LG smartwatch, however the app turned out to be nothing more than a concept.

Highland Arts Theatre stages World Premiere by local playwright
Jan. 2, 2015. Sydney, NS. the Highland Arts Theatre will launch the first half of its ambitious 2015 Season with Kyle Capstick's "Sh*t Song for Some Island". The play, featuring a cast of five local actresses, will run for four nights in Sydney before Capstick returns to Toronto to launch a second production there.
The play is a bold, sometimes poetic, look at love of place and past, which attempts to reverse the narrative of "girl from small town goes to big city". Fiddler wants you to believe that there's something about this island. Jane knows she's in love with it despite never having been there. Jane's sister Ryann doesn't share her love. Worried that Jane will leave the city for the island, Ryann asks Duana to convince Jane that the island isn't worth loving. If the air on the island is music, will Jane ever play it?
Kyle Capstick is an emerging playwright/director and native of Marion Bridge. He is the managing director of the Toronto-based company, Newborn Theatre. Previous credits include: I don't want to dance with straight people (Newborn Theatre), Of Shapes Transformed by Love (Aim for the Tangent Theatre/Newborn Theatre); Clunk (Acadia Theatre Company); Uncertain (Atlantic Fringe Festival); and Something for My Grandparents (Cape Breton Stage Company).
Sh*t Song marks his first production home in Cape Breton since leaving for Toronto two years ago.
The cast features local talents: Jenn Tubrett, Diana MacKinnon-Furlong, Bonnie MacLeod, Kathleen O'Toole, and Lindsay Thompson. Following each performance, there will be a Songwriters Circle featuring local musicians Alicia Penney, John Gill, and Danny MacNeil included in the ticket price. Evening performances are 19+ and alcohol will be served. There will be a special "all-ages" performances on Saturday, Jan. 10th at 2:00.
I love Cape Breton. I was born and raised here. I spent 5 years studying at Cape Breton University. I left the island 2 years ago to pursue theatre in Toronto. Shortly after moving, I entered Pat the Dog Playwrights' Centre's 24-Hour Playwriting Competition. I had 24-hours to write a full play that incorporated 3 words; the third of which was fiddle. In the subsequent 24-hours, I wrote the first draft of what would later become shit song for some island (it had a different title then); reading the draft later I realized that I'd started a Cape Breton play.
Over the next two years I would scrap and re-start draft after draft of the show. I would come back to it between other projects just to get angry at the draft all over again. There was something about Cape Breton that I wanted to write, but I hadn't found it yet. How could I talk about this place without either idealizing it as a paradise or making fun of it? I wanted to create something that was true to my, and my peers, experiences of this place.
When I moved away, I couldn't wait to leave the island behind. I was ready to call it names and talk about it behind its back. I needed an "it's not you, it's me" break up with the island because it couldn't provide me with the things I felt I needed. I blamed the island for lacking rather than seeing it as personal growth (who needs maturity at 23-years-old?). At one point, when the island and I were back on speaking terms, I realized that in order to write this play I needed to bring it home.
I love Cape Breton, but I haven't always loved it in the same way. I've resented it, I've cursed it, I've longed for it, and I've never stopped loving it (all of this is reflected in the show). I also know my relationship to the island is not unique in its complications. This show's heart (and mine) has always been here; I am overjoyed to have the opportunity to bring it home.

Whether your ring was the wrong size from the start, or the size of your fingers has changed, it may be necessary to resize your ring. Your best bet is to take the ring to a jeweller; they can resize your ring without lowering its value. However, it is possible to resize a ring yourself, but it will likely lose some of its value. That's why it may be more logical to resize inexpensive rings yourself. You can use pliers to increase or decrease the ring size, though you can also stretch the ring or use silicone to make it smaller.
Sizing Down Your Ring With Silicone
1Clean the ring thoroughly. Soak the ring in a solution of hot water and dishwashing soap. Use a soft toothbrush to brush the metal and any stones set on the ring.
- Dry the ring thoroughly before moving on.
- Avoid using cleaners with bleach, acetone or chlorine, as these can damage a ring's metal band.[1]
2Use a coffee stir stick to apply silicone sealant inside the ring. Make sure to use clear silicone, like food grade or aquarium grade silicone. You'll want the bottom part of the ring to have the thickest application. Unless the ring is very loose on your finger, you should use a small amount of silicone.[2]
3Smooth the silicone with the coffee stir stick. As the silicone will be directly against your skin, you'll want to try to smooth it out as much as possible. Run the stick along the inside of the ring until the silicone smooths out.[3]
- You can use a wet paper towel to clean any silicone that gets on the outside of the ring.
4Let the silicone cure. Depending on the type of silicone you use, this can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. Resist the temptation to wear your ring during this time, as it will take longer for the silicone to cure and might dislodge it entirely.[4]
- If you need to remove the silicone, you simply need to scratch at it with your fingernail.
Using a Mallet to Expand the Ring
1Lubricate the ring with soap and slide it onto a ring mandrel. You can use bar soap or dishwashing soap. Make sure the ring is evenly coated before sliding it on the mandrel.
- A ring mandrel is a graduated metal cone, which is used to size rings. You can easily obtain them from general online retailers.
2Gently tap the ring with a wooden mallet or jeweller's hammer. Your strikes should be gentle yet firm. Strike at a downward angle; you're essentially trying to move the ring further down the mandrel. Make sure to turn the ring as you strike, to evenly stretch it.
- If you have access to it, use a vice to secure the mandrel. This will make this step much easier.
- If you only have access to a carpenter's hammer, you should cover the ring with a soft cloth to prevent damage to the band.
3Remove the ring from the mandrel and try it on. If it's still too tight, you can repeat the process, placing the ring on the mandrel and hammering until it fits. Keep in mind this method can only stretch a ring about half a size.
- If the ring is struck, you can strike upwards with the mallet to dislodge it.
Stretching with Pliers
1Put on the ring and mark the center of the band. Don't force it on; it's fine if the ring sits above the knuckle at this point. Use a marker to mark the underside of the ring along the center.
2Cut the ring along the mark with a pair of wire cutters. You can either use dedicated wire cutters, or pliers with a cutting edge. Set them along the line you drew on the ring. Apply pressure smoothly to ensure an even cut.
3Gently bend the ring open with the flat nose pliers. Bend both sides of the ring to keep it as even as possible.
4File the cut edges. Ideally, you'll want to use a metalworking file. Alternatively, you can use a nail file, but it'll take longer to file down the ends. You want to make sure the ends are flat so they won't be able to scratch you.
- You can use a nail buffer to smooth the edges after filing them down.
5Try the ring on to check the size. The ring should fit comfortably but not move on your finger and the open edges shouldn't dig into your finger when you move it.
- If the ring is still too tight, remove it and widen it further with pliers.
Reducing Ring Size with Pliers
1Mark the center of the ring's band. This will be easier to do while wearing the ring. If it has stones or other markings, make sure they are centered on top of your finger. Then, mark the center of the band under your finger with a marker. Make sure to use a color that will contrast with the ring: black works best for gold and silver.
2Cut the ring along the mark with wire cutters. You can either use dedicated wire cutters, or pliers with a cutting edge. Set them along the line you drew on the ring. Apply pressure smoothly to ensure an even cut.
3File down the cut edges. It's best to use a file specifically for metal work; otherwise ensure the nail file you use is made of metal. File slowly, only removing a bit of metal at a time.
4Close the gap and try on the ring. Put the ring inside the open pliers so the outside curvature runs along the pliers. Carefully squeeze, bringing the cut ends of the ring together. Keep the pressure even to make sure the ring keeps its circular shape.
- Try on the ring after closing the gap. If it's still too loose, file the cut ends a bit more and try the ring on again.
5Clean up the ring's cut ends. Use a buffing block, which you can get from any beauty store, to smooth out the ring's ends. This will keep the edges from scratching your finger.
- Alternatively, you can use a propane torch and jeweller's solder to close the ring into a single loop.
Community Q&A
QuestionWill resizing a gold ring devalue it?Beth H.Community AnswerIf you take it to a reputable jeweler who resizes it by adding or subtracting metal (rather than stretching or compressing it), then it will not affect the integrity of the ring.
QuestionHow can I solder a silver ring closed?Community AnswerBy using a mini-butane torch and silver jewelry solder.
QuestionWill any of these ways damage a plastic ring?Community AnswerAs plastic is not bendable, the ones involving stretching it or bending it most likely will. However, I see no reason that the silicone one shouldn't work!
- Bending the ring too much can cause it to snap; be gentle. Avoid only bending each side of the ring in one place––instead, aim to move the pliers around the ring, as this will give a better shape and minimise the risk of it breaking.
- Failure to properly file the cut edges can result in the ring scratching the wearer, especially when they attempt to remove it.

It's easy to forget that people once marveled at the interactive tablets carried around by characters in Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek, or the touch screens in Spielberg's Minority Report – dream futures that have become reality.
In 1983 Apple co-founder Steve Jobs stated that his ultimate ambition was
"to put an incredibly great computer in a book that you can carry around with you and learn how to use in 20 minutes…".
That vision would take him 27 years to realize.
With the release of the iPad mobile devices reached a new quality because of it's screen size and the possibility to operate them just with the fingers and without any peripherals. They initiated a shift in paradigm of teaching and learning as well and from that time 'people could hold the internet in their hands'.
Historically the term first originated when Apple's founder Steve Jobs discussed the future of personal computing during an interview alongside Bill Gates at the fifth All Things Digital conference in 2007. At that time he described
"a category of devices that aren't as general purpose, that are really more focused on specific functions, whether they're phones or iPods or Zunes or what have you. And I think that category of devices is going to continue to be very innovative and we're going to see lots of them,"
Jobs said.
It wasn't the first tablet computer by any means, and the iPad faced significant criticism when it was first announced – most pointedly the accusation that it was trying to fulfill a demand that didn't exist. But the iPad surprised everyone, instantly spawning a market for a new form of computer that made the internet touchable and found its way into the hands of 170-million customers in its first three-and-a-half years.
There are some quite astonishing engineering feats behind the iPad. The iPad Air (launched in 2013), for example, weighs twenty times less than an Apple Mac from ten years ago, but packs four times the memory and four times the processing power. The glass that covers the screen is manufactured via a process which makes it harder than sapphire, and is coated with an invisible oil-repellant to reduce fingerprint staining.
But most incredible of all is the fact that Jobs succeeded in coming up with a portable – and connected – computer that even orangutans in the Smithsonian National Zoo have worked out how to use, forever altering the future of digital media in the process.
A tablet …
When Steve Jobs ended years of speculation in 2010 by announcing the iPad tablet device, he helped launch a new era in computer hardware. Though tablet PCs have been around for years, the iPad was the first device to use the form factor successfully in the consumer market.
So what exactly is a tablet?
At its most basic level, a tablet PC is a mobile computing device that's larger than a smartphone or personal digital assistant. In general, if the computing device uses an on-screen interface it's a tablet.
To confuse matters, some manufacturers produce hybrid devices that are part tablet, part laptop computer. The device might come with an attached keyboard — the screen swivels or folds down to cover the keyboard and voila, you have a tablet!
In 2010, Lenovo introduced a prototype device called the IdeaPad U1 at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nev. At first glance, it looked like a normal laptop computer. But if you detached the screen from the base, the laptop converted to a tablet computer with its own, independent operating system. Lenovo rebranded the device, naming it the Lenovo LePad and launching it in China in 2011.
The touch screen …
Thousands of scientists, their researches and inventions, the ongoing miniaturization, and improvements in sensor technology made a smartphone and a tablet ready for use.
All tablets have a touch screen interface and an operating system capable of running small programs and interpreting gestures. Further sensors are used to automatically change the orientation from portrait to landscape mode.
Summarized, it was the touch screen first introduced with the iPhone in 2007 and it's multi-touch capable operating system iOS which made the iPad to a device capable to replace computers for an increasing number of people.
The development of the Touch Screen Technology started in the 1960s although there are many results of basic scientific researches in physics starting hundreds of years earlier.
Historians consider the first touch screen to be a capacitive touch screen invented by E.A. Johnson at the Royal Radar Establishment, Malvern, UK, around 1965 – 1967. The inventor published a full description of touch screen technology for air traffic control in an article published in 1968.
In 1971, a "touch sensor" was developed by Doctor Sam Hurst (founder of Elographics) while he was an instructor at the University of Kentucky. This sensor called the "Elograph" was patented by The University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The "Elograph" was not transparent like modern touch screens, however, it was a significant milestone in touch screen technology. The Elograph was selected by Industrial Research as one of the 100 Most Significant New Technical Products of the Year 1973.
In 1974, the first true touch screen incorporating a transparent surface came on the scene developed by Sam Hurst and Elographics. In 1977, Elographics developed and patented a resistive touch screen technology, the most popular touch screen technology in use today.
In 1977, Siemens Corporation financed an effort by Elographics to produce the first curved glass touch sensor interface, which became the first device to have the name "touch screen" attached to it. On February 24, 1994, the company officially changed its name from Elographics to Elo TouchSystems.
In 1983, the computer manufacturing company, Hewlett-Packard introduced the HP-150, a home computer with touch screen technology. The HP-150 had a built in grid of infrared beams across the front of the monitor which detected finger movements. However, the infrared sensors would collect dust and require frequent cleanings.
The nineties introduced smart phones and handhelds with touch screen technology. In 1993, Apple released the Newton PDA, equipped with handwriting recognition; and IBM released the first smart phone called Simon, which featured a calendar, note pad, and fax function, and a touch screen interface that allowed users to dial phone numbers. In 1996, Palm entered the PDA market and advanced touch screen technology with its Pilot series.
In 2002, Microsoft introduced the Windows XP Tablet edition and started its entry into touch technology.
Until today I use a Siemens T4010 Convertible running on the XP Tablet edition with a stylus and an incredible weight of 2.5 kg.
It just works, but it works more like a heater if you place it on your lap and because it's running XP you have to take care of it's health with an antibiotic therapy each week.
However, you could say that the increase in the popularity of touch screen smart phones defined the 2000s. In 2001 Mitsubishi launched the DiamondTouch (a human interface device that has the capability of allowing multiple people to interact simultaneously while identifying which person is touching where).
Various companies expanded upon these inventions in the beginning of the twenty-first century. The company Fingerworks developed various multi-touch technologies between 1999 and 2005, including Touchstream keyboards and the iGesture Pad. Several studies of this technology were published in the early 2000s by Alan Hedge, professor of human factors and ergonomics at Cornell University. Apple acquired Fingerworks and its multi-touch technology in 2005. In 2007, Apple introduced the iPhone still seen as the king of smartphones with nothing but touch screen technology follwed by the iPad in 2010.
There are basically three components used in touch screen technology …
- 1 The touch sensor is a panel with a touch responsive surface. Systems are built based on different types of sensors: resistive (most common), surface acoustic wave, and capacitive (most smart phones). However, in general sensors have an electrical current running through them and touching the screen causes a voltage change. The voltage change signals the location of the finger.
- 2 The controller, is the hardware that converts the voltage changes on the sensor into signals the device can receive.
- 3 Software tells the device what's happening on the sensor and the information coming from the controller. Who is touching what and where; and allows the operating system and apps to react accordingly.
To improve the features multi-touch was introduced to recognize the presence of two or more points of contact with the surface. This plural-point awareness is used to implement advanced functionality such as pinch to zoom.
Summary …
The iPad is in the line of disruptive innovations. It seems to become a tool supporting all areas of life, household, education, science, health, communication, etc. It's for primates but still not for apes who grant preferences to other activities.

I've heard that statement countless times in the past almost 4 years. I wondered early on, "what do widows look like then?" I knew what I thought they looked like before: old, black dress, and so very sad and lonely. Well, I had the sad and lonely part down pat. Old and a black dress? Not so much.
At conference this year, I got a good glimpse of what widows look like. Here are three of us. We look old, sad, lonely don't we? ;) Okay there are a couple of black dresses here, but this ain't your grandma's black dress!
That one comment, or a variation on it, continues to be stated over and over as the years pass. "I would have never thought....", "You are just so young....", "You seem to be doing so well...." etc. I guess if we aren't crying in our drinks all the time, wearing a lumpy black dress, or looking more than a bit haggard we aren't recognizable as widows. I have described this condition in the past as being sort of invisibly mummified - no one can see the dangling torn bandages but you, but they are there. The bruises and bumps of grief in many of us aren't outwardly apparent. They are there nonetheless.
I guess I'd rather not be immediately recognized as a widow, if looking like a widow means terminal unhappiness, misery, and haggardness. But, I do wear my invisible scars as a badge of honor. I did not choose this path, but I have become something I would not have otherwise. Given the choice, I'd rather be the weaker, untested, old-me, with my healthy and happy husband by my side. Not given the choice, I will be proud of what I have done in the face of such a challenge. I will take my limes and make margaritas for my girls any day. Care to join me?

New York Chowhounds are having something of a Henan moment. Promising specialists in the cuisine of this central Chinese province have surfaced from Flushing to Manhattan and, most recently, at Uncle Zhou in Elmhurst, Queens.
Most of the talk so far has been about fresh noodles, hand-pulled or knife-shaved, in superior soups. Joe MacBu raves about pleasingly chewy knife-shaved noodles served with tender beef in a bright, balanced, spicy broth that gets a citrusy note from fresh Sichuan pepper; "the má là quality was refined and not something I wanted to ruin by adding anything, including chili oil. It's my new favorite bowl of noodles." Lamb mixed hand-drawn noodles come in a deeply lamby, lightly spiced soup. The same wide, hand-pulled noodles turn up in big tray chicken, a regional specialty popular at the Henan restaurants in Flushing and Manhattan Chinatown.
A few doors down from Uncle Zhou is Lao Bei Fang, a longtime dumpling destination that moved last year from smaller quarters around the corner. Its old digs were soon occupied by new owners who opened a rival shop called Lao Kou Wei. Hounds still love Lao Bei Fang's gracious owners and are glad to see them thriving in their higher-traffic new location on Broadway, where they've expanded the menu with small plates like garlic cucumbers and smoked tofu with celery.
As for the dumplings, however, the scrappy challenger is getting props. tokimoki says Lao Kou Wei's are cheaper and served hot and straight from giant woks, never sitting around under heat lamps as they do at, uh, other places. Joe MacBu, who's recently sampled dumplings from both shops, agrees: "The ones at Lao Kou Wei have a more tender wrapper – Lao Bei Fang's are drier and unpleasantly chewy." "I used to be their biggest fanboy!" confesses diprey11, a longtime fan of the beef noodle soup, who was unpleasantly surprised last time by mushy noodles. "Bad luck, maybe?"

Transformers, more than meets the eye! Transformers, robots in disguise!
Oh yes, my son loves Transformers toys and has been playing with them ever since he was old enough to ask for them by name. In the past year he has also really gotten into building toys and products and loves to build and construct. This holiday season we discovered a marriage of both Transformers figures and my sons love of building in the hot new toy, Transformers Construct-Bots.
Let me say, right off the bat I loved this toy because the set comes in it's own case. Moms of boys know how important this is, as the little pieces can so easily get lost or stepped on (ouch!) and I have been on a warpath with organizing this year. If my kids toys don't stay organized it is upsetting to them when they can't find parts and aggravating for me to once again have to open up the canister on my vacuum cleaner to fish them out. Yuck.
My son is five years old and was able to build his set on his own the first time with just a little bit of assistance. The pieces click together with a slight amount of pressure but do not fall apart or come off too easily. My son is a typical boy in that he likes to play a little rough so their resiliency and durability are important to us in toys.
Transformers Construct-Bots are so much fun to play with and I love how you can create and customize your Construct-Bots and also mix-and-match the pieces with other figures. My son can't wait to get his next set! Here is a photo of the Wheeljack Transformer Construct-Bot that my son proudly built, played with, took apart, and re-built all in one afternoon of play!

V.I. One
of the men accused of participating in a scheme to defraud the government through
a property auction has admitted to his role in the conspiracy.
Charleswell, 50, of Annas Retreat pleaded guilty to taking part in the plot,
which occurred during an Aug. 30, 2012 property bid conducted by the office of
the lieutenant governor.
faced 14 charges one count each of conspiracy; recording a fraudulent
certificate; obtaining money by false pretense; fraudulent claims upon the
government; conversion of government property; grand larceny; forgery
(recording a false note); embezzlement by public officer; embezzlement and falsification
of public accounts and two counts each of forgery; forgery (uttering a false
document); and criminally influenced and corrupt organizations in connection
with the crime. However, rather than face a jury, Charleswell accepted the
terms of a closed plea agreement offered by Attorney General Claude Earl
appeared in court for a change-of-plea hearing today and stood before V.I.
Superior Court Judge Michael Dunston to formally admit to the crime. Under the
terms of the plea bargain, Charleswell entered a guilty plea to the single
charge of conspiracy and in exchange, the remaining counts against him will be
dismissed, Charleswell will testify against the remaining defendants and he
will be sentenced to a term of three years imprisonment with all but one year
suspended. After he is released from prison, Charleswell will be placed on
supervised probation, he has to complete 100 hours of community service and pay
$1,000 in fines.

special investigator in the office of the Inspector General. He was released
from custody after posting bail.
to the affidavit filed by Peru, Charleswell worked as Chief Enforcement Officer
in the lieutenant governors office and as part of his duties, he was
responsible for collecting property taxes in the St. Thomas-St. John district, preparing
payment plans, property tax liens and property listings for auction, as well as
conducting public property auctions.
Aug. 30, 2012, Charleswell oversaw a public auction in the St. Thomas-St. John
district. One of the properties auctioned was 97 Est. Frydenhoj, on which the
opening bid was placed at $6,442.28. The first bidder placed a bid of $75,000,
a second person bid $42,000 and the third bid was $10,100; however, the bidder
tracking sheet prepared by Charleswell showed that there were only two bidders
on the property, according to Peru.
unwritten policy developed by officials in 2012 required that the three highest
bidders be recorded in the event that the highest bidder failed to meet the ten
percent deposit amount, but the day after the auction, the winning bidder did
not make the required deposit and the second highest bidder should have been
contacted, Peru wrote.
On Sept. 4, 2012, a deposit
of $2,000 was paid on a bid that was not noted on the record and on Oct. 11,
2012, a man paid the balance of $8,000 on the Est. Frydenhoj property and the
office of the lieutenant governor transferred the property to that man for
$10,000. Then, on Sept. 25, 2013, the man transferred the same property to
another man, according to Peru.
The investigation revealed
that certain procedural changes made by officials at the office of the
lieutenant governor allowed individuals to fraudulently manipulate the bidding
process in a scheme in which the highest bidder purposefully makes a
substantially inflated high bid, then fails to post the ten percent deposit so
that the property would go to another bidder or individual for a substantially
low price, Peru wrote.
This manipulation prevented
potential bidders from making fair and legitimate bids on properties offered at
public auctions and potentially reduced the likelihood of the property owner
recouping any excess proceeds from the sale after taxes and fees are paid,
according to Peru.
Dunston has scheduled
Charleswells sentencing for Mar. 22. Charleswell remains on bail pending his

Luckily, her birthday is in September, so a lot of the Halloween props and goodies were already in stores. It would have been easy to go crazy with buying all kinds of Sookie-inspired stuff - but budget should always be a factor in these kinds of events. (Saves money for an awesome gift, no?)
With a little bit of planning and a whole lot of fun, my BF pulled off one hell of a party.
It's all about the details.
Despite our best efforts, neither Eric nor Bill were able to drop in for the big event (no matter how many creepy fan letters I sent to Alex Skarsgard).
Instead, we created an environment that would comfort any of the True Blood cast.
|Red, black and white icing applied with a careful hand.
|My BF printed off these labels and bottled "vamp juice" - yummy!
We also created signage in Fangtasia lettering, mixed up some blood burgers, and the birthday girl wore an awesome Merlott's t-shirt. True Blood played on the DVD player for most of the night. So much fun!
If you're planning a Halloween-inspired birthday party, there are some great resources online to help you with the details. To get you started, you can Google search ideas, or check out - you guessed it - Pinterest.
Happy planning of your monster bash!
23 sleeps until Halloweeen...

"Evil Doesn't Burn…"
Kindle Unlimited: http://amzn.to/1LZLm0x
Burned, scarred, and left for dead, Jimmy Tasker is running from everyone.
The blaze changed him—changed the way his brain fires—and left someone else in his head with him. Someone who wants to kill for fun.
He changes his name, buries his past, starts a new life…and disappears.
Years later, four friends from the city are hard up. Steve needs work, Gil's jumpy, Peter is struggling, and Cal's an addict. So they plan a robbery. Steve backs out, but the other three go through with it and botch the job, resulting in the death of Lauren Westerbrook.
Ronan Westerbrook has a hidden past, a love of photography…and a fondness for flame.
Ronan's revenge for his wife's death culminates in a bloodbath—and unleashes Jimmy, who was there all along, tormented by nightmares of atrocities he has no idea if he truly committed.
Steve is trying to build a respectable life, but now Jimmy has one last piece of unfinished business…the only witness who can identify him.
My Review:
Shutter Speed is a cleverly written story of Jimmy, a bullied little boy, who just wants to be left alone to take pictures–the only thing that gives him happiness. Eventually, that little boy grows up and into a twisted version of himself, a warped human hiding in plain sight.
But his facade of normalcy is ripped away one night, revealing that Jimmy is no longer someone who can be pushed around. He pushes back now, and stabs, and tears…
There are a few scenes of "Yikes!", but I wouldn't call this horror; it's a thriller and a well executed one.
Check out the book trailer for Shutter Speed.
Mark Taylor crash landed on planet earth in 1975. Then he started writing. He writes macabre, dark, stories, with a brooding style. He has enjoyed releases of both novel and short story collection alike.
Some of Mark's work is about kittens and daisies. Just not very much.
Some say he is a product of his environment, others, a product of his own imagination.
Whichever it is he works happily, portraying dark existences on this planet and others. He relays his fears and doubts on his characters, so always has a smile. If Mark is real, as some say he is, you might find him in England.

Academy of Arts and Sciences Students' Positive Character Traits Make a Global Impact
Lorain, OH. (Mosaica Education, Inc.) September 1, 2010 – The Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAS), Walking with Giants program does more than inspire, it provokes positive change that extends globally.
Listening tentatively, students at AAS grew inspired and motivated by Pastor Lori Loomis, a local missionary, during a recent visit. Pastor Loomis spoke about her time serving as a missionary in Africa, as part of the Walking with Giants program. Through AAS's innovative implementation of the Paragon Curriculum, it takes the Walking with Giants program to the next level, by inviting local 'Giants' to the school to address students monthly.
As a result, students at AAS decided to collect school supplies for students in Africa. The collection will continue until September 30, 2010, and all donations may be brought to the Academy of Arts and Sciences, 201 W. Erie Avenue, Lorain, OH 44052.
The "giant" personifies a positive character trait that AAS instills in its students. Along with these visits, AAS also has a school-wide positive character trait that is taught monthly. Students from each class who demonstrate the designated trait are rewarded, at our monthly pep rally.
Jennifer Ditzenberger is a curriculum implementation specialist for AAS.
"Our Paragon program instills such virtues as kindness and compassion for others by teaching them that though we may have cultural differences we all have similar needs," Ditzenberger said. "After the children saw the needs of their peers in Africa they made a commitment to help them through the school supply collection."
For August, the character trait was kindness. After Pastor Loomis' explained to students at AAS that there are classrooms in Africa, where students share a single pencil, they quickly decided to collect school supplies for the African students in Nairobi and Kenya to show kindness. This is the second year students have been inspired to do this.
About AAS

Breaking Ground on the Homestead Police Station
The heavy rain in South Florida is notorious, and after two previous attempts were cancelled due to inclement weather, we finally broke ground on the new Police Station in Homestead!
The special ceremony took place on Wednesday, October 7. Attendees included the Homestead Mayor and City Council members, City Manager George Gretsas, Homestead Police Chief Al Rolle and Homestead Police Department Officers, our own Raul Munilla and Alexis Leal, well as other MCM team members and City of Homestead staff.
The new Homestead facility will be a 55,000 square-foot, three-story police headquarters with a one-story ancillary building and on-site parking. The location is just a block away from the old building, behind Losner Park in the Homestead's historic downtown.
The groundbreaking marked a significant milestone toward Homestead's commitment to revitalizing the city's downtown area.
Moreover, the project is a shining example of how MCM is committed to working with the City of Homestead and the Police Department to keep our officers and community safe!

Since 10 years, Rwanda is a leader in Africa, for the preservation of the environment . The country has banned plastic bags, has re introduced animals and the birth rate is on the rise. Rwanda will be also the first East African country to open a solar power plant.
Mutesi Teopista
In a bid to better conserve and preserve environment, The Environmental museum in Bwushyura sector, Karongi district is under construction. The project is undertaken by the government of Rwanda.
The museum aims to educate visitors, help them to better understand the imperativeness of protecting and safeguarding the environment. The building will consist 2 floors with a traditional herbal medicine garden with 127 tree species based on the rooftop.

Lenny Kravitz and the Voice of Praise Choir: Monday YouTube Fix
Andrew Hitz
This clip embodies everything I love about music. Lenny Kravitz, the singer/instrumentalist/songwriter, was hanging out in New Orleans when he heard a band and choir covering one of his songs. Even if you are the biggest Lenny Kravitz fan, the rest is best described by just watching the clip. The whole thing is summed up by the expression of the acoustic rhythm guitar player the moment that Lenny sits down on the drum kit. I just think this clip is the perfect example of pure joy that only music provides in my life. And how about this kid on guitar?!?
This is just awesome.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States, Colombia and Mexico are slowing the flow of cocaine and methamphetamine into the U.S., according to new figures from the Drug Enforcement Administration.
U.S. consumers of the illicit drugs paid more for them in 2007 than before, and the drugs are not as pure as in the past -- suggesting suppliers are diluting them to stretch limited supplies, the agency said in a statement.
Americans who bought methamphetamine paid an average of 73 percent more in September than they paid at the first of the year, but the purity of the drug decreased 31 percent, according to the DEA.
Meanwhile, the average price of a gram of cocaine jumped 44 percent in the first nine months of the year, while its purity dropped 15 percent, the DEA said.
"Drug kingpins are having a harder time moving illegal drugs and chemicals and pocketing the illicit proceeds, because they are up against the full-court press" of cooperation between the United States and its international partners, DEA administrator Karen Tandy said in the statement.
Colombia's drug eradication and interdiction programs and its commitment to extradite traffickers charged with crimes outside of Colombia have also played a role, the agency said.
U.S. state and local law enforcement and the Mexican government all have helped reduce the flow of methamphetamine, said John Walters, the Director of National Drug Control Policy. "The intense pressure placed on meth producers and traffickers has significantly disrupted the market for this devastating drug," he said, although use of the drug remains problematic.
Thirty-seven U.S. cities, including New York and Los Angeles and smaller ones such as Buffalo, New York; and Toledo, Ohio, appear to be experiencing a shortage of cocaine, the DEA said. E-mail to a friend
