Between Windows Phone 8 and Blue lies a path of more frequent updates
With yesterday's alleged leak of HTC's next Windows Phone, one of its eyebrow raising aspects was the use of "GDR2" when identifying the OS. The term was new nomenclature for those who follow Microsoft's update cycles and product code names. Now, ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley has learnt of its meaning and Paul Thurrott helps put it into focus.
The term GDR2 stands for "General Distribution Release" with the two denoting its sequence. The first GDR was "Portico" (build 10211), which was delivered starting at the end of December by Nokia (AT&T Lumia 920) and continuing within the last few weeks for the Lumia 810, 820 and HTC 8X devices on various carriers.
The big picture of these new updates is something we spoke about on the last podcast: there will be more frequent but smaller OS updates on Windows Phone 8 over the next 8-12 months before "Blue" is released.
Windows Phone Blue is the next milestone for the OS although details about its contents are few and far between. The most we know at this point is that it will bring Windows 8, RT and Windows Phone closer together for users and developers, including possibly a unified "Store". Whether that means Windows Phone apps can run on Windows RT or instead the developers can "package" their Phone and RT apps together remains to be seen.
In addition to GDR2, expected to ship this summer, there is also reportedly a GDR3 OS release. Once again details of what it contains or addresses are not known publicly. Regarding the phrase "Apollo+", Mary Jo Foley's source(s) and our own have said that it is not an actual name, although it was briefly used to talk about post-Windows Phone 8 OS updates. Thurrott notes that GDR1-3 can be collectively thought of as Apollo+.
Regarding Windows Phone Blue, the timing could even slip to 2014, although that too has not been confirmed.
What this all means for the platform is that the OS will get more frequent updates and, more importantly Microsoft won't announce OS updates months in advance before their release. Indeed ever since Windows Phone 7.5 we've heard murmurs that some on the team were not pleased with the long time frame between February and mid-summer before phones began receiving the update. There was too much pressure to ship and Microsoft had revealed all their cards to their competitors regarding forthcoming features.
Now, the approach appears to have shifted to keeping future feature updates more closely guarded but delivering those updates more frequently. Since "Portico" did not change the name Windows Phone 8 i.e. they didn't call it Windows Phone 8.1, there's reason to believe that Redmond will keep these updates as just build revisions, but not an OS rebranding.

First and very excited
ade333 says:
Way late but have you thought of Xbox running RT? And WP and RT being able to cross emulate. Interesting.
PGWP says:
Sorry for thread-hijacking but this is somewhat 'important'.
During WP8 press conference last summer there was talk about an 'enthusiast' program where people could signup to get updates before they were released through their carrier, this would possibly void warranties but would allow for faster updates.
What happened to this program? Did Microsoft decide to say one thing but then later decide not to implement (as seems to be the general habit lately)?
lippidp says:
I think Microsoft is hoping we forgot about that announcement.
crazygonzo says:
I was just thinking about it myself, official updates through carriers are fine if I'll have the ability to take care of it myself from Microsoft website. Give us the choice.
More frequent minor improvements are great but it's weird since this year's Blue is already close on the horizon (to keep it simple I'll number them to easier distinguish the versions - 8.0 Apollo in November, 8.1 Portico in December, upcoming 8.2 in April/May, 8.3 in July ? 8.5 Blue in September ?). I was hoping that the Blue update rollout would start in the summer followed by a small fix later this year.
rockstarzzz says:
Did he not say in the article that Blue won't be here possibly till 2014?
omniusovermind says:
That's disappointing. Waiting for tighter integration between WP8, RT, and Windows 8 until the end of the year or later isn't encouraging because this cross platforming was something people were hoping WP8 was going to be all about at the beginning
rafaelluik says:
That's how Microsoft and Nokia take Windows Phone... Windows Phone 7 = this is WP, our new badass OS! WP 7.5 Mango = forget about 7 now this is the real thing! WP 8 = now we have the real thing, you just need to buy a new device!!! :DDD And wait for WP Blue this will be the real thing we promise!
winger46146#WP says:
I wish Verizon would push the update out to the 822.
rodneyej says:
Assassin 11B3P says:
No kidding.
ninny1176 says:
No kidding...obnoxious that it's taking this long for them to release it.
Murani Lewis says:
I much prefer this method of updating and notification. I don't think most users need to know months in advance about an upcoming update. Just announce something via the blog and notify through user through phone updated mechanism email or SMS when the update is available.
The added benefit is the keeping your cards close to your vest. This also gives weight to the fact phones will be released in a roll out fashion and no big platform update launch that all OEMs wait for. A big benefit to the platform and the users.
ade333 says:
MThe downside is that OEMs have a hard time with this. If MS wants a variety of OEMs they have to respect the differences in time it takes those OEMs to go to market. If the focus is one big milestone releases then companies like Nokia will maintain their advantage. They'll be able to deliver current hardware, faster so they will be able to adapt so taht they always release hardware cycles with software cycles. If you dont release at the milestone then you wont sell many phones. Think of Sony... They are dying because by the time they turn the concept to reality, the hardware is outdated. I'm not saying helping Nokia is a bad thing, I just think it comes with its challenges
WinFan1 says:
That sounds good to me
smartfonefan says:
The more the merrier there are lots of improvements WP8 needs.. I heard Mary Jo on windows weekly say that the blue update for WP8 was behind schedule so no surprise. Hope we don't have to wait for blue for WPCentral wish list for improvements though....
pogi920 says:
Reading this made me more happy that i chose wp8 over other OS...lol
Dadstar0410 says:
Agreed. Microsoft rocks!
x I'm tc says:
They only rock if they actually do it. And if, unlike past updates, things actually get better instead of a mix of better and worse. Every update since NoDo has included as many compromises as enhancements. I would say it is equivocal whether WP runs better today or a year ago...it would depend on your needs.
For instance, if you need to work with Office binary files, your life is a lot harder than it used to be. And a huge number of mobile Websites that used to work (like the essential nextbus.com) no longer do.
rodneyej says:
PeterFnet says:
Not really excited. OS updates are still tied to carriers and manufacturers. It will be a crapshoot when you'll get any update. I know this is a stretch for an example, but I hope it drives the point home: I had to manually update my Samsung Focus to 7.8. I used all only Microsoft's cab updates. This was beyond stupid and shows that though they share the same platform and architecture, phones get unequal treatment that I equate to Android and old Windows Mobile.
Nik Rolls says:
Hopefully along with this change they will also make the distinction between updates that require manufacturer or operator approval and ones that don't. If it's a cosmetic update it likely doesn't need to go through the manufacturer (and definitely not the operator); most backend updates should go to the manufacturer, but usually not the operator; only updates that affect interactivity with the network should require operator approval.
PeterFnet says:
Agreed. I think those update levels you describe are needed, though I think they should be used only rarely. Fundamental carrier operation should not really need to be changed. Perhaps something like Visual Voicemail needs to be approved. However, that confuses me. That shouldn't need to be compiled into the OS, or be enabled by default. It should be a Microsoft add-on of sorts that could be enabled or disabled by the carrier.
Backend updates that affect how the OS runs on a manufacturer's hardware should be limited to things that require new drivers or firmware interaction.
Perhaps there are answers to my questions/concerns, but Microsoft was not vocal about these changes during/after the Portico rollout. All I really heard was they were tailoring the update for each phone. That's what really concerned me, what are you customizing?!
Anyway, thanks for the good ideas.
lippidp says:
Yeah, I'll believe these "frequent" updates when I see them. Portico was released 2 months ago and some people are still waiting. It's a good thing we have unofficial ways (at least those of us on WP7.x do).
PeterFnet says:
Yup! I miss that about Windows Phone 7. You can just take care of it yourself!
rodneyej says:
That's why I went with the 920 on at&t. Nokia devices on at&t seem to get updated promptly.
Bearach says:
Might be why they got the exclusivity of the 920 for a while (to negotiate a better update rollout). Good move by Nokia if in fact true, cause AT&T have been terrible with the updates in the past (AT&T Titan to name one famous on these forums for no updates).
uopjo6 says:
Never get a Samsung
Marko Maric says:
Hope the 'other' problem in storage memory will get fixed. Mine is now 6+ GB and growing. I can hardly use my 8x which has 16 in total.
Dadstar0410 says:
Download Shrink Storage from the Store. It helps lower that section.
Marko Maric says:
Shrink Storage really helped, cleand 5GB. Thanks for the tip.
pepsijosh says:
I didn't know about this app but it freed up about 270MB of storage space; It's Somthing...
blackhawk556 says:
Never heard of this app. Going to give it a try.
treetownal says:
It gave me 250mb which is great but I'm still sitting at 7.5GB with barely any apps or media installed. Fixing the Other debacle needs to be objective #1. The problem is only getting worse as people buy the phones and use them.
jcagga says:
Try deleting your browser history. That is the main source of the memory usage.
Neusyn says:
Try cleaning out adobe? I mean adobe is the app that takes the most space in my phone with documents. But yeah, I'm still using my L900 until something with either 64GB+ or 32GB+ w/ MicroSD.
rightisray says:
"and continuing within the last few weeks for the Lumia 810, 820, 822 and HTC 8X devices on various carriers." Where's the 822 update? I ain't seen no update!
Bearach says:
Also, according to other sources (and WPCentral) the HTC 8X, Lumia 820 started rollout in December like the 920, not just in the past few weeks.
rightisray says:
That I already knew. ;) I was only speaking of my particular phone, which was mentioned in the quote.
Bearach says:
I can't seem to find any sources at this moment for the Lumia 822 getting Portico. :(
However this source dated 22nd February, says no word yet from Nokia.
"As of now, there is still no word on when the Portico update will be pushed out to Nokia Lumia 822 users, but this is Verizon so we are not holding our breath."
My guess is you're waiting on Verizon :/
EDIT: Looks like this article has been updated to reflect that the 822 may not be receiving Portico at this time.
rightisray says:
You still are not getting the sarcasm that was contained in my original post. Yes, I know the 822 hasn't recieved the update. Yes, I know there has been no word about the update from my carrier or Nokia. No, the article you linked to did not state that the 822 might not be getting the update. The exact words on that article were "but this is Verizon so we are not holding our breath". In other words, the author was expressing his opinion and nothing more.
Back to my original comment, I was simply giving Daniel a good rub for mentioning the one phone in that list that has not recieved the update in any form.
Bearach says:
I got what you were saying, I was just commenting on the other factually incorrect content in that SAME sentence, but I guess you missed that too.
Edit: Can see where you got confused (in regards to no update). I meant this WPCentral article had been updated and that it was at this time, NOT it wouldn't ever get.
Nik Rolls says:
So what does GDR actually stand for? I know it *means* General Maintenance Release, but it stands for General Dxxxxx Release.
Nik Rolls says:
Ah! That makes more sense. Cheers :)
Raesu says:
Zune wouldn't update my unlocked 800...had to use the disconnect trick to get 7.8. Now that is pretty stupid.
dkp23 says:
If they can unify all the platforms, this could propel wp8 to high market share levels. Imagine being able to download an app once and have it work on all three platforms. As for movies, purchase once, all three platforms. I thought this was the vision of MS based on what they had been saying, but from what i see, the platforms are still somewhat disconnected. I hate i have to buy seperate apps for each platform and i dont like how i can purchase movies on smartphones. At least buy it on my xbox and then also have it work on my phone, why movies are not an option on phones is an odd thing to me.
lippidp says:
Don't hold your breath. They've been talking up the three screen vision for 10 years now.
purevibz says:
that's nice to hear...
Jean80 says:
Always felt MS was wrong to announce OS updates way in advance, giving competitors a chance to respond. Hope this will change from the future onwards.
conanheath says:
Updates Smaller than Portico? How do you do that, Not fix anything? Blue not until 2014? Somebody could pull Web OS out of mothballs and get ahead of MS. Wp8 was not ready and it will be years before it is. Ubinto (sp) will take third away from WP before MS gets it figured out.
1Rahtid says:
Long time Microsoft supporter here, but based on Microsoft's performance on Mobile computing I wouldn't bet against your predictions. In fact, odds are that you'll be proven correct... by Microsoft.
Tips_y says:
GDR1 (Portico) started rolling 1.5 months after WP8 was released and is still rolling out. In 2 months, GDR2 will be ready to roll out. After that GDR3 and then WP Blue in Autumn. I would bet against his predictions. In fact, odds are that he'll be proven wrong... by Microsoft.
conanheath says:
I'll believe that when I see it.
1Rahtid says:
It'll be interesting to see how this turns out. I for one would be pleasantly surprised if you're right, however I honestly believe such faith in the MS group in charge of Windows Phone is misplaced. Their track record since Windows Mobile days, and more recently with the Zune desktop client / Xbox music debacle speaks volumes.
Judge_Daniel says:
Didn't some 8Xs receive the update in December? It was mainly Verizon dragging its knuckles over here.
Bearach says:
Yeah. I've mentioned that above too.
Trainwreck_0532 says:
And bell in Canada, ditched my 8x for the Samsung ativ s which came loaded with portico, for the record, it wasn't because I didn't like the HTC.
GoodThings2Life says:
As Mary Jo Foley called it, it's a "shut up and ship" mantra... and I won't lie, I want them to do exactly that... ship it already!
Frankly, I'd rather have monthly updates/fixes. Each month pick a big thing and a few small things and push them out... just like Windows Updates.
Nik Rolls says:
Fritzly says:
And no OEM and carriers involvement in the process... This is the way to win hearts and minds.
a5cent says:
Absolutely what I want too, but carriers would go ballistic. I'm almost happy they agreed to this three month schedule. Ultimately, MS should be able to ship an update any day they want and as often as they want AND every device should get it that same day!
FUS3360 says:
This is definitely a much better method.
fardream says:
What does "frequent" mean exactly? One update per 3 months? Or 6 months? We are 3 months from the last update already and a lot things are still broken.
sanshiro says:
but but Why Can't I love Windows Phone?
treetownal says:
How do you respond to someone who can't grasp the concept of unpinning the office tile? Something about unfolding a flower. What did I just read?
Tips_y says:
It's zdnet so of course they'll say that. So what else is new.
Jabid21 says:
Here's to hoping after Blue, Windows Phone becomes a part of Patch Tuesday and bypass carriers and OEM on non-hardware updates.
NIST says:
This will start putting more distance between WP 7.xx and 8+
CheekyTaurus says:
All well and good but all for naught if the carriers are the bottle neck.
bsmerl says:
The BIG question is will at&t allow these updates? As much as I hate HTC for not insisting that at&t push updates, I loathe at&t as well. I will never buy an at&t non-nokia carrier locked WP phone again until MS has a heart to heart talk wit at&t.
inside man 55 says:
All for more frequent updates, those buying new phones will have better software, existing owners will get better features and performance, keep it close and keep em guessing, Microsoft finally learning how to play poker
travisel says:
Good news!
Danlocker says:
Finally! Hopefully they will start fixing some of the major and small (but still very annoying) flaws!
sinister1 says:
It must be nice because I still haven't received crap on my Lumina 822.
Tips_y says:
And you'll never receive anything at all either now or the future since the Lumina 822 does not exist ;)
prettyconfusd says:
As people have said, why can't they just release smaller updates more frequently? Windows gets updates through for little things as and when they're ready and unless they were lying at the presentations, Windows Phone is now set up to do exactly the same so why wait?
Update/Add/Fix a feature and just release it without any fuss.
I was lucky enough to get Portico pushed to my 8X before Christmas (no idea what stars aligned for that to happen!) but two months later I've not had any more updates and quite frankly there should have been at least one.
When there are still so many functional gaps and bugs in the OS there should be a new update every month that fixes them. Summer isn't good enough.
I do feel sorry for the Windows Phone team though, they spent all their time after Mango pretty much just porting WP to NT, and now they've done that they have to carry on merging with Windows RT. I don't think they've actually had much time to focus on the user experience of the OS over the technical aspects of it for a long time now.
vitaliano says:
I know all dates are fluid, but that source article about HTC Tiara at unwiredview.com talks about the phone hitting retail around mid-May.
Tips_y says:
I think mid-May is about right because according to Mary Jo Foley's insider, GDR2 will be ready in two months time.
JohnCz says:
I'm satisfied with their new approach to updates and keeping these a bit closer to the chest. But imo, Microsoft should have had something to reveal at MWC. Btw, did anyone from WP Central actual talk to a Windows Phone team member?
WinFan1 says:
i just have one quick question.. what about the notification center that was supposed to be coming to windows phone?
Eric The Fruit Bat says:
Portico arrived on my samung SGH-T899M right out of the box.
stephen_az says:
Again, Blue is a ode name that means nothing at the moment and anypne who knows something real has signed a NDA. The fact that people refer to it speculatively for Windows Phone 8 and definitively for Windows 8 does not mean that there is any convergence. It simply means they are standardizing update cycles at some point in the future but it means nothing for current update cycles nor does it mean anything of merit regarding the various platforms. . Anythng beyond that is purely speculation from people who want hits on their sites and people who ascribe significance to their speculations will be the first to show up whining that Microsoft didn't deliver the stuff they never promised. BTW, an even cursory of WP 7 updates would demonstrate it already had a pretty rapid update cycle, and anyone using Surface RT knows that there have already been major updates including multiple firmware upgrades. All this is at this point is still a speculation and rumor fest posing as news.
realwarder says:
I think the whole google EAS fiasco pretty much guaranteed an update will come out within the next 6 months. So this talk of smaller updates has a lot of merit.
a5cent says:
Better than nothing...
jdhooghe says:
I'll believe it when I see it. Microsoft has been making me angry lately with how slow they are.
aubreyq says:
Lucky you that's been feeling angry lately. Microsoft has been slow on Windows Phone since the beginning.
AskaLangly says:
But my 822 still doesn't have Portico. C'mon, Verizon...
gilesjuk says:
Parts of the OS could be apps that update separately from the rest of the OS. With a fallback option if anything goes wrong. Seems daft that the browser cant be updated until the whole OS is.
jbz7 says:
Updates take WAY too long!
We need small updates every week the way the OS looks at the moment. Why don't they fix the little things first so that it will give a better impression for new users and give less to compare about to IOS and android.
Man every now and then I get so fired up with this. What do they do all day?
EvilBagheadMan says:
After receiving the stiff one eye from Big Red over Portico, I really hope that they can untie updates from carriers. There is no reason my phone should not have Portico at this point. If Verizon is standing in the way of my update, I should be able to circumvent this and update on my own (there should also be a way to turn group MMS back on since VZW disabled that as well). A way to 'Unlock' the 822 and update it without having to beat it out of VZW would be wonderful.
sinister1 says:
Okay I got the update so where and how do I create ringtones out of my MP3s?
sinister1 says:
Everyone on here complaining that they havent recived it yet, what state are you guys in? I'm in Texas and I received mine around 5 p.m.

DETROIT (AP) — A woman who says she was ethnically targeted for a strip search at Detroit Metropolitan Airport filed a lawsuit Tuesday against an airline and federal transportation officials.
Authorities removed Shoshana Hebshi from a Frontier Airlines plane after it landed in Detroit on Sept. 11, 2011, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. The crew had reported suspicious behavior by two Indian-American men sitting near her, saying they spent a lot of time in a bathroom.
Hebshi, who describes herself as half-Arab and half-Jewish, said she and the men had never met before the flight and had nothing in common beyond a similar skin tone.
After removing her from the plane and handcuffing her, agents ordered Hebshi to remove her clothes, bend over and cough while being searched, she said in a complaint filed in Detroit federal court.
The freelance writer from Sylvania, Ohio, said she is concerned about what she believes was ethnic profiling based on her dark complexion and what that pattern of treatment might mean for her 7-year-old twins.
"I was frightened and humiliated," Hebshi told the Detroit Free Press. "As an American citizen and a mom, I'm really concerned about my children growing up in a country where your skin color and your name can put your freedom and liberty at risk at any time."
Hebshi said the U.S. has a "history of profiling and oppressing people who look different." She added that authorities assume "someone who is brown is a criminal."
Frontier and the Transportation Security Administration declined comment on the suit Tuesday.
Hebshi said no one ever told her why she was being targeted and what was happening.
"They wouldn't even tell me what was going on," she said Tuesday. "No would answer me." Continued...
The American Civil Liberties Union is assisting Hebshi in her lawsuit. ACLU lawyer Michael Steinberg said Hebshi "did nothing that was suspicious" to warrant such treatment.

In approximately June of 2005, one of your employees called me a derogatory name and admitted it to the store manager. Management tried to justify her behavior because I refused to show her my receipt, even though my hands were full carrying audio equipment weighing over 75 lbs and I was literally 5 feet away from her when I made the purchase. She asked for my receipt and I politely declined because anyone with minimal intelligence would have realized it was physically impossible. At which time she followed me into the parking lot and called me the name. I returned to the store, explained the situation to the manager on duty and he attempted to justify her behavior because he said it was store policy to show a receipt. I explained that regardless of the store policy, my hands were full carry heavy equipment. At this point, he became agitated and continued to try and portray it like it was my fault rather then your employees' lack of respect, knowledge and training.I should also point out that I am not required by law to show a receipt and the law supersedes store policy. I felt at the time and still do that although Best Buy corporate could not have prevented what happened, they could have rectified the situation after the fact. However and for whatever reason the Corporate Office and regional manager decided to act with a general disregard and smugness toward what happened. As a result of my treatment, I wanted to inform you that in addition to losing me as customer, I have told countless people about what happened and will continue to do so whenever presented with the opportunity. However, it is now approaching the 3 year anniversary of the incident. Clearly, I am not one to forget what happened or how I was treated but I want to give your company the opportunity to change my opinion and do the right thing. As someone in your ideal demographic and an "early adopter" of technology it probably would be in your best interest to revisit the situation and attempt to rectify it. The Store location of the incident was: Westbury NY (Store 454) 1100 Old Country Rd Westbury, NY 11590-5625 If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
also... its called a SHOPPING CART
if you were to try and walk out of my store with that much merchandiseim going to ask for a receipt too!
Have you ever noticed that the customer is always a perfect angel andthen here comes the big bad awful employees.I would bet all my moneyon the customer calling the first name.
I dont understand you people...why should I forgive this company whenthey have never issued an apology withour a caveat. All they had todo was say "hey our employee did something wrong and we are sorry." I send them an annual reminder to give them an opportunity to get mybusiness back and will continue to do so. Is that really so wrong? the hostility some of replied with is mindboggling
Oh David...why not keep all these letters together in one pile, keepthinking of other issues that may need to be dealt with on a businesslevel and bind them up...you just may have a best seller. But then, you will probably complain if the book doesn't sell...itwill be everyone's fault but your own of course.
this guy lives in the same county as I do. I should have realized itwith the store address but now that I read his other letters, itfinally hit me!
3 years ago?!?!? I bet you are still holding on to a grudge you hadin the 3rd grade too. Let it go!!
Wow, I read the other posts, had no idea you write meaningless lettersall the time.
This story seems so one-sided,and many details are left out. I am 90%sure you called her names first because she asked to check yourreciept.No one would just call you names out of the blue unless therewas some snide remark or rude comment made.At least she admitted toit. You sound frustrated in your letter that you had to show a recieptin the first place, so I am pretty sure you went off on her. In thatcase,you deserved to get rude treatment.
Instead of carrying 75 lbs. of product (and possibly injuringyourself) why in the world did you not get a shopping cart, or atpayment request a carry-out. Common sense to me.
Sir, there are more important things in life than how you were treatedat Best Buy. Really, there are. And if this is the worse thing thathas ever happened to you - long enough to hold a 3 year grudge - thenyou, dear sir, have lead a charmed life.
good for you for standing ur ground. they never apologized orattempted to rectify the situation. let it be a lesson to treat peoplewith respect, remeber the golden rule. in return u have examplifiedboycotting them which is exactly what i wouldve done if i were treatedthe same way.
Geezel! That was 3 years ago! Why didn't you complain then? Forget allabout it. Go to your local theater and see the new Indiana Jonesmovie. You'll like it.
Oh my goodness, it has been 3 years! Give it up! Usually when onepurchases that large of an item or items, you have it in a basket oryou pull your vehicle to the service entrance where a best buyemployee will help load it in. I purchased a heavy item, about 80lbsand was told to just pull around to the side (service entrance) andsomeone would have my item and load it in. I showed my receipt as Iwas leaving the store and drove to the service entrance for thepurchase. Again, the guy loading it up, asked for a receipt-no bigdeal. I'm sure best buy has this policy in effect because of alot oftheft. You really should just move on. Have a great day!
Sounds like another troll email.
Hec, they probably didn't even visit it in the first place which iswhy they acted with "general disregard". Do you actually thinkthey'll give a "crap" 3 years later??
Sheesh...Don't you think it's time you put this thing to bed?!?! Areyou really keeping track of the impending "anniversary" of thisincident?!
All I can say is that we will all still be here for the nextanniversay that you wish to dredge up a past incident.
Am I the only one interested to know what derogatory name was used?
So David, how's that 3-year ban on Best Buy working out for ya? Seemsto be working out pretty well for Best Buy. Not to mention the"countless people" you've told this story to. You may have actually broken a record for the longest gimme-grab everon this site. I'll put your letter in the same file as the ones fromManda.
I didnt read past the part where it says "In approx 2005"....I meanits been 3 stinking years...get over it.
Anyone with minimal intelligence would understand that when leaving astore with a bulky package, a store employee would challenge them toshow proof of purchase. You know, with shoplifting and all. I wouldseem to me that is the alert employee's job. How hard is it to put the package down, and give the employee thebenefit of the doubt that maybe during purchase they were looking theother way instead of at one's self-important derriere? This letter was hilarious. Approximately a year, four months andthree weeks ago I read one that almost as funny.
You obviously were hiding something. Come on now. Either that or youjust wanted the attention. Oh yeah, and this happened 3 years ago? Get over it already. Wait, get over yourself.
"and will continue to do so whenever presented with the opportunity" Well I think there is something in the law about extortion. I also love the whole concept that just because you tell someone BestBuy asked for a receiot as you left, you think they are going to avoidBest Buy. People make up their own mind. You haven't been a Best Buy customer for 3 years and they are still inbusiness. Evidently they don't need your money. I hope they ban youfrom all Best Buy stores because that is their right.
I'm trying to be more pro-consumer, really I am. But this letter hasmade me lose all motivation. Dude, it was three years ago. I realize you were pissed off at thetime, and maybe you had the right to be. Maybe Best Buy didn't handlethe situation properly. And perhaps your decision to never darken thedoorstep of Best Buy again was a good one. But it's now springtime in 2008. It's also Memorial Day weekend. Gofor a nice walk. Crash a barbeque and have a hotdog. Drink a seasonalsummer microbrew. Watch the "That 70's Show" marathon on FX. Do whatever you need to do to have a great holiday. But please, MOVEON.
Note to self: If ever attempting to shoplift, refuse to show receiptat door and claim you can't because your hands are "full."
"I should also point out that I am not required by law to show areceipt and the law supersedes store policy." You obviously have no legal experience, because this statement isridiculous and false. Just because there is no law saying you MUSTproduce a receipt doesn't mean a store can't require it. And therecertainly isn't a law prohibiting stores from requiring shoppers toproduce them on demand. Quite honestly, you had a valid complaint, but the near-histrionicsdetract so much from that complaint, nevermind that you're stilldwelling on this THREE YEARS LATER. Are you like this with everything that goes wrong in your life?
I'm curious what "countless people" have said about the fact thatyou're upset that you were asked to show your receipt 3 years ago,refused and are still griping about it. So what if your hands werefull - - would it have killed you to put something down and complywith a simple request? And no - - it's not in BB's "best interest torevisit the situation and attempt to rectify it" as it's clear theydon't care if you remain a customer or not. And I'll bet that you'vebeen back and made additional purchases in the past 3 years.
So, after you went back into the store to report the employee fordoing her job, did you show the manager the receipt? You did have one,didn't you? Can you provide your receipt now so Best Buy has someevidence that this actually took place, (approximately) three yearsago? Not saying it will help your gimmee grab, but you never know.
I have to thank David for helping me make a decision. I have a $50gift card coming to me, and just needed to name the retailer. I willselect a Best Buy gift card. Thanks for making my decision easy. Ihappen to like retailers that try to keep costs low by controllingtheft.
this letter only makes me want to shop at Best Buy. Heck, I can evenshop at the store the OP is complaining about. I did spend $45 at BB last Sunday. I bought Seasons 1 and 2 ofBabylon 5.
Give it up, it's 3 yrs already. Stop looking for freebies.
1. You should have put the items down, or asked her to assist you, soyou could show your receipt. 2. She never should have called you a name, but you shouldn't haveignored her request, then her demand for your receipt. You're both guilty. Grow up.
decided to play power game with her, and she got frustrated. Justbecause she was 5 feet from you doesn't mean you had her undividedattention. It may well be that legally you do not have to show your receipt, butthey can request proof of purchase and detain you until you provideit. From the tone of your letter, I don't know how "polite" you wouldhave been. How did you want them to rectify this? Tell loss prevention that tojust let customers walk out with merchandise if they don't want toshow a receipt?
my goodness...whatever you want to purchase so badly, can't it waittil you get your economic stimulus check?

Berry scored the extra period's first four points, but Huntingdon notched its next five to take a 64-63 lead.
Berry's Jonathan Abrams scored on a driving layup at 1:33 to give the team a 65-64 advantage at 1:33.
Huntingdon's Terry Moorer responded with an under-the-basket layin to give the team a 66-65 edge. Whalen knocked down the second of his two free throws to knot the game up, 66-66, with 56 seconds left. On a later fast break, Whalen hit the deck as he went for a layup.
He swished his two free throws to put the team ahead, 68-66, with 33 seconds. The Hawks responded with a Courtnee Edgar layup with 13.2 seconds to tie the game up, 68-68 at the end of the first overtime.

Continuing bickering over how to calculate the share price in a potential stock-swap merger between United Airlines and Continental Airlines remains a sticky issue for the parties to resolve, The Wall Street Journal reported.
"It's the elephant in the room," a person close to the situation told the newspaper. Should the matter not be resolved, the person said that it could doom the deal. In merger talks in 2008, Continental turned a cold shoulder to United.
The Wall Street Journal added that a further issue possibly hampering the talks is a little-noticed $500 million contingent liability that U.A.L. would have to pay to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation should the deal be closed.

(SALINA, Kan.)
Advertisement |
The Salina-Saline County Health Department's resources remain split in two locations after it was forced to leave its building over the summer.
"There were concerns with the roof support structures, part of the framework of the roof," city manager Jason Gage said.
There are now two locations at 625 E. North Street and 148 N. Oakdale in Salina. The county and the city are trying to decide if they want to repair the old building, buy a new one and just who is responsible for the existing facility.
"The city didn't have any money and the county did so be the building," County Commissioner John Reynolds said. "They entered into the agreement and the city is supposed to take care of the maintenance issues include structural maintenance."
Gage says he doesn't think the agreement was clear and the roof support structures could be the county's responsibility.
"The city looks at that and thinks maintenance is not a reconstruction situation, Gage said. "Maintenance is caring for something from the condition it is in."
Health department officials say it's important that citizens get the care they need.
"We have noticed we have probably about 20 percent less people coming to the clinic for services," Del Myers, health education supervisor said.
They believe part of the dip is because there isn't a bus stop near the building that hosts services like immunizations and family planning.
"Clients who are using public transportation have to walk three blocks," Myers said. "There aren't any sidewalks, so they have to walk in the street."
Until the city and county decide what to do, the department will have to make the best of it, as the old building remains empty.
People can go to sschd.org for a list of which building offer which services.

The aim of this project is to create a free (open source, OS independent) remake of the classic SSI game Imperialism. While the spirit and many concepts of the original should be preserved, it should not become a pure copy but advance the concept in a sense that modern elements of strategic games are included, e.g. of the Civilization series. The game is written in Java using Swing for the user interface. The philosophy is to keep it as simple as possible, use standard/well tested libraries wherever possible and to demand clean, understandable code.
Release Notes: A nicer start screen was included.
SpaceZero is a RTS 2D space combat game for two players over a network. The objective is to conquer the space, defeating all enemies. At the starting point, you have only one ship and one planet, but you have money to buy more ships to conquer more planets.

cvs-fast-export analyzes a collection of RCS files in a CVS repository (or outside of one) and, when possible, emits an equivalent history in the form of a fast-import stream. Not all possible histories can be rendered this way, and the program tries to emit useful warnings when it can't. The program can also produce a visualization of the resulting commit DAG in the DOT format handled by the graphviz suite.
Release Notes: Buggy handling of the -k option was fixed. --remote (-e) and --stripprefix (-s) options were added. A recursion overflow on very large repos has been avoided. The fast-import stream ops are now emitted in the same order git uses.

Yote is a server and set of libraries which connect JavaScript objects to backend objects using JSON RPC. It is composed of an HTTP server, a set of JavaScript libraries, and a set of Perl libraries. Yote objects are container objects connected together in a graph branching off from a root node. They are automatically loaded and saved as needed so that only a portion of the graph is in memory at one time. An account and app infrastructure are provided. Each call to the server automatically syncs the objects in the client side cache. Security is handled on the server side, which tracks which client is allowed what data and calls.
Release Notes: This release has a bugfix for the sqlite configuration settings.
any-dl is a generic video downloader tool that uses a domain specific language to describe how to download videos from each video site.
Release Notes: This release adds new site-parsers, new command line switches, parser language enhancements, and bugfixes.
BeagleSNES is a complete filesystem image which turns the ARM-based BeagleBoard-xM and BeagleBone Black platforms into an embedded appliance capable of playing Super Nintendo game titles. It uses a modified version of the SDL port of SNES9X as its emulator, boots into a GUI frontend for selecting game titles, and uses USB gamepads as the controllers. Most titles run quite well on the platform, though some performance-intensive titles and titles which use special hardware (such as titles which use the SuperFX chip) will run too slowly to be playable. Individual BeagleSNES components (bootloader, kernel, GUI/emulator) have been broken out of the filesystem image in order to allow interested developers to examine them without having to examine the full filesystem image. Full filesystem images, as well as images containing only the BeagleSNES binary and data files, are available.
Release Notes: This release adds support for the BeagleBone Black, fixes a few GUI and SRAM save issues , and updates the version of the bootloader. Both the BeagleBone Black and BeagleBoard-xM now use the same BeagleSNES full system image, and scripts are provided to change platform-dependent bootloader files for developers who have both hardware platforms and who wish to use the same microSD card for both.
Darning is a tool for managing a series or sequence of patches to a software source tree, in the same vein as quilt but with extended functionality. It supports advanced patch concepts such as file mode changes and copying/renaming files. The GUI is the primary interface and the most complete, but a command line interface is also provided with fewer features at this stage.
Release Notes: This a bugfix and minor feature enhancement release. The Patch List drop down menu now includes an item to absorb all applied patches into the underlying git/hg repository (if present) as individual commits.
TXR is a new data munging language to replace the likes of awk and Perl. TXR's special pattern language provides template-based matching of entire documents or large sections of documents. It also contains a language for functional and imperative programming. It is written in C and takes the form of a utility that is portable to Unix-like platforms and Windows.
Release Notes: This release adds many new features, bugfixes, and completion of the reference manual.

When Good Beauty Products Go Bad
When Good Beauty Products Go Bad
By Gina Roberts-Grey
Is it possible for your favorite moisturizer or shampoo to be done with you, before you're ready to throw it into the trash? You bet. In fact, experts say it may be time to clean out your shower or medicine cabinet because you may be using products well beyond their shelf life.
Expiration dates
All personal care products have a shelf life. Most soaps and shampoos with preservatives (like parabens or pthalates) remain unchanged for up to two years from the manufacture date, not the date they're sold or opened. But depending on the product, the shelf life of paraben-free personal care items could be whittled down to three or four months.
Over time, the active ingredients in natural bodycare products lose their efficacy. "You may notice your hair isn't as shiny or your skin is dry despite using body lotion," says Joyce Carboni, founder and director of Skinsational Skin & Body Spa in Carlsbad, California.
In addition to altering effectiveness, experts say out-of-date products can affect your health. Expired products carry bacteria that can cause harm when you apply them to your lips, skin that's irritated, scratched, or injured, or the sensitive area around your eyes. "The result could be rashes, irritation, breakouts, and infection," says Carboni.
How do you know if your product's past its prime? With or without parabens, the FDA requires over-the-counter acne treatments, sunscreens, and moisturizers with sunscreen to have a drug facts panel and expiration symbol on the label. And many makers of shampoos and eye creams have followed suit, voluntarily adding expiration information on their product's packaging or label.
These expiration dates usually appear as the symbol of a jar with the lid either on or off along with a number preceding the letter M. "A jar with an open lid represents the number of months the product will remain fresh once opened," says Stefani Thionnet, executive vice president of MD Skincare by Dr. Dennis Gross. "And a closed lid tells how long the product is good from the date it's manufactured."
In addition to the age of your beauty products, how you store them also affects shelf life. Kimberly Sayer, organic chemist, aesthetician, and creator of the Kimberly Sayer of London line of organic skincare products, says a cool, dry medicine cabinet extends shelf life longer than keeping items near sunlight or in a humid environment. And although some manufacturers now recommend keeping natural personal care products in the refrigerator, only do that if the label says so. Sayer says, "Storing [some] products at a cold temperature could negatively change their molecular structure."
Beyond looking at the expiration date, use your other senses to assess product viability. If it has started to separate, smells odd, is discolored, or seems slightly off, consider it spoiled. "Properly formulated natural products are developed with special care to eliminate the issue of separation," says R...

Know the Shelf Life of Your Cosmetics
Keep track of how long you've had your beauty products, for two good reasons: To be sure they are still effective and to assess their possible contamination with bacteria that can cause rashes or infection.
FOUNDATION: up to 2 years: Throw out sooner if the consistency becomes clumpy.
LIPSTICK: 1 1/2 to 2 years: When the waxes eventually dry out, you'll feel a loss of the slip that makes application easy.
MASCARA: 3 months: Because the process of applying involves moving the wand from lashes to bottle and back, the risk of introducing bacteria is high. A new tube every three months is simply sensible eye hygiene.
EYE SHADOW: 2 years: If either powder or cream varieties exhibit an odor, color or texture change, discard sooner.
LIP AND EYE PENCILS: 2 years: If the pencil starts to stick and get more difficult to use, it's probably dried out.
BLUSH: 3 years: Despite a long shelf life, be alert to changes in color, smell or consistency.
MOISTURIZERS: 3 months to 1 year: Discard them sooner if you start to smell an off odor or the overall texture seems to have changed.
SUN PROTECTION: 1 season: When it's time to discard, you'll notice that the product starts to separate and may have an odor.
SELF -TANNERS: 6 months to 1 year: Self-tanners take on a funny smell when they're past their prime.
FRAGRANCE: 1 to 4 years: Perfume fades in 1 to 2 years: Toilet water: 2 to 4 years. Store in a cool, dry place away from any sun light.
DEODORANT: 3 years: The active ingredients don't last forever, and once they're inert,
the deodorant isn't effective.
NAIL POLISH: 6 months to 4 years: The less it's exposed to air and sunlight, the longer it will last. Store in the refrigerator.

It opens the TCP port 81 and waits for remote connections. It ends processes belonging to security tools and deletes entries belonging to other worms from the Windows Registry.
Windows XP/2000/NT/ME/98/95
Bagle.BC is a worm that opens the TCP port 81 and listens to it, waiting for remote connections. By doing so, Bagle.BC allows hackers to gain remote control over the affected computer in order to carry out malicious actions that would compromise user's confidentiality or impede normal work.
Bagle.BC ends processes belonging to security tools, such as antivirus programs. This leaves the affected computer vulnerable to the attack of other malware.
In addition, Bagle.BC prevents certain worms, such as several variants of Netsky, from being executed whenever Windows is started. In order to do so, it deletes the entries belonging to these worms from the Windows Registry.
Bagle.BC spreads via e-mail in a message with variable characteristics and through peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs.
Bagle.BC is difficult to recognize, as it does not display any messages or warnings that indicate it has reached the computer.
