On this week's Digits From Asia, 'Man of Steel' is trending on Google, Artshare helps you buy pricey art from half a world away, critics fear Syria will face an Internet blackout and Lenovo takes on Apple and Samsung with its K-900 smartphone.
HTC Corp.'s least-expensive smartphone to date hit Taiwan shelves on Wednesday, priced at less than a third of its flagship device.
Taiwan's HTC has been trying to push a premium image, with its marketing efforts centered on its high-end One smartphone. Its decision to also venture cheaper with the Desire 200 priced at NT$5590 (US$167) is the latest indication that the low-end segment – once a domain left largely to feature phones and low-cost Chinese knockoff smartphones – is a growing force that major smartphone brands can no longer afford to ignore.
Around the world, the shift is happening. Hundreds of millions of people who currently use feature phones—phones that make basic phone calls–will make the transition to low-cost smartphones in the next few years, according to ABI Research. This segment could make up 46% of the smartphone market by 2018, the researcher predicts.
China's Huawei Technologies Co. is gunning for more cachet in the smartphone market, starting with souped-up specs for its new handset, the Ascend P6.
The Chinese company is more known for the network equipment it produces, and it's not a major consumer brand. But the handset it unveiled Tuesday shows it is trying harder to become a serious contender to the plethora of brands out there: Apple Inc.'s iPhone 5, Samsung Electronics Co.'s Galaxy S4, HTC Corp.'s One, LG Electronics Co.'s Optimus G Pro and Sony Corp.'s Xperia Z.
One standout hardware feature on the P6 is its 5-megapixel front-facing camera, which offers a higher resolution than most front-facing cameras of other smartphones currently on the market – an attempt to capture demand from people who frequently take their own photos and post them on social media. The resolution of its rear-facing camera is 8 megapixels, same as the iPhone 5.
When Facebook bought Instagram last year for nearly a billion dollars, the photo-sharing app had about 13 employees.
Since then, the group has grown to 35–and it's about to get bigger.
According to the company's career page, Facebook has seven types of positions open for the Instagram team, including manager of public policy, front-end software engineer and product designer. The group is also looking for software engineers dedicated to mobile.

Americans love their televisions. Too bad their television subscription services (notably their cable providers) don't measure up.
Television sets and their hardware, including video players and recorders, rank top in customer satisfaction across more than 40 industries examined on an ongoing basis by the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) with a score of 85 out of 100 possible points. But the pay services such as Verizon Communications (FiOS) DIRECTV AT&T(U-verse) DISH Network Comcast Charter Communications , Cox Communications and Time Warner Cable rank near the bottom of the satisfaction list with 68 points.
ACSI interviews about 70,000 consumers a year to measure their satisfaction with more than 230 companies across more than 40 industries in 10 economic sectors.

Tech companies continue to sharply modify their business models to cope with competition and other industry changes. The latest example: Nvidia.
The company helped create the market for chips called GPUs, or graphics processing units, which help generate vivid visual effects in videogames and other software. The only way get access to that technology has been to purchase a piece of silicon that Nvidia designed.
No more. On Tuesday, the Silicon Valley company announced that it will also offer to license core blocks of circuitry associated with its current GPU design, code-named Kepler, to other companies to incorporate in their own chips.
Google is citing the First Amendment before a secret surveillance court, seeking permission to say more about its own involvement in the U.S. government's surveillance efforts.
On Tuesday, Google challenged a gag order that has prevented it from disclosing the number of surveillance requests it receives under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, arguing in a court document that free speech protections give it the right to talk.
"We have long pushed for transparency so users can better understand the extent to which governments request their data," a company spokesman said in a statement. "However, greater transparency is needed."
Other companies, including Apple and Facebook, have released numbers about government data requests in aggregate, including national security requests as well as criminal requests.
Google has in the past already revealed many of these numbers in a granular way–including for requests known as National Security Letters–but had not included the secret FISA court orders. The company says disclosing its data in aggregate like the other firms "would be a step backward for our users."
Signs that King, maker of the popular mobile and online game "Candy Crush Saga," is interested in going public underscore the growing optimism about future fortunes of the videogame market.
The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that the London-based company, which is registered as Midasplayer International Holding Co., has hired investment bankers with an eye towards an IPO.
King's confidence contrasts with the recent mood at Zynga, another company known for popular games on Facebook.
By Telis Demos and Matt Jarzemsky
"Candy Crush Saga" is lining up something besides jelly beans: bankers.
Midasplayer International Holding Co., the publisher of online and mobile games including the popular "Candy Crush Saga," has hired banks to pursue a U.S. initial public offering, according to people familiar with the move. Midasplayer, better known as King, has tapped banks including J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Credit Suisse Group AG, and Bank of America Corp. to handle a potential offering, these people said. They cautioned that the pricing and timing of any deal had not yet been completed.
A spokesman for the company said: "King's success and growth presents numerous opportunities for the business to develop further, and one option would be to take the company public. However, while it's an option for the future, we would not comment on when we could consider making such a decision."
Yahoo joined its peers in disclosing the total number of requests made by U.S. authorities, including intelligence agencies, for information about its users.
The disclosure, made in a blog post late Monday Pacific time by Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer and General Counsel Ron Bell, was the first of its kind for the Internet pioneer and mirrored those made by Facebook, Microsoft and Apple in recent days.

SO cute!
I absolutely love the look and colors in this shoe. I have a wide foot and the strap across is a little tight for now. The rest of the shoe is super-comfy, and fits me well. I expect after a few wearings, the strap will loosen up, and this show will be my favorite. :-)

Ideally I wear an 8.5. I have to try on most crocs before I buy because the 8 is too small and the 9 is too big. These fit me perfectly. They are incredibly comfortable and great for work. I need black flats..business casual.

Most Comfortable Shoe!
Comfortable from day one!! Easy on the feet even after a long day of walking! Recommend!
I love them!
I bought a pair of these shoes about three weeks ago. I wanted to try them on first, because many people had given them a bad review. However, I couldn't find them in any stores. I took a chance and bought them online anyway. They were a bit uncomfortable the first week. The good thing about crocs is that if they are too tight you just tug on them a bit to adjust them, so I don't understand some of the other reviews. I love mine and plan on getting another pair in a different color.

June 8 – Happy Birthday Del Paddock
Del Paddock is one of two not-well-known former Yankee franchise infielders to celebrate their birthday on June 8th. Paddock played 46 games for New York way back in the 1912 season, when they were still known as the Highlanders. He could hit decently, averaging .288 for New York that year, which was higher than any other of the team's starters could manage except outfielder Birdie Cree. Paddock's problem was fielding. He evidently had hands of stone, committing 14 errors in 41 games.
It was probably that bad glove that got him released by New York after that 1912 season. He would spend the rest of his playing career in the minors and eventually fight in WW I. Paddock died in 1952, two years before this one-time Yankee infielder who shares Paddock's birthday was born.

Hey guys.
I wanted to bring this question up.

I recently started a new job doing service and maintenance with a Van. About a month later I was given a list of:

I'm scratching my head thinking if this right or wrong because some of these tools they want me to buy are not exactly "hand tools". I will never use these tools outside of work. Well unless i do some blue-mooning, but you get my drift.

Does anyone think these 7 tools a Tech should supply? They really seem like Company Supplied tools to me.
Comments? suggestions?
I went over the list ....and I am in agreement with you based on my own experience, and others I know in the trade.
On top of that, they shouldn't be trying to tell you what tools you have to buy, meaning they should just stick with telling you what they will provide and let you decide what else is needed.___________________________________________
The company I am with supplies 100% of what I use on the job.
I can tell you from MY experience that the leak det., pullers, scale, and pump were provided by the co. but every co's different.

Being a company owner I can tell you you're being set up.
As soon as there is some job or procedure you couldn't do because of some tool you were supposed to have watch out. There is a chopping block close by.
Being Union, plumbers really didn't need to supply many tools. Maybe a pencil. ruler maybe something else. A sheet metal worker had to supply a box of tools that maybe cost 2-3 hundred dollars. But what you are expected to supply so they can make a bunch of $$ is ridiculous.
My advice... Go Union. Only because you're getting screwed.
Auto mechanics supply their own tools at a huge costs but they are largely flat rate. It's to their benefit to have just what they will need to make the job kick a$$. I'll bet they aren't paying you flat rate.
With all those tools you could be in business.Tracers work both ways.
That's just plain ridiculous, do they expect you to share all those tools with them, or maybe they can't afford them.
I supply a tool belt. Wrenches, screwdrivers, nut drivers, Allen set and a VOM meter. When something of mine breaks they replace it, with like or better. Anything else they can supply.
I did work for one company that gave you a $600 tool allowance every year (1980 $s) for extras, that you owned. Not a bad deal.
I won't be any help to you....I already own all of those tools and then some. Use them all the time...every tool on my truck is mine....if I leave the company that truck will be empty. (ladders are the exception...those belong to the company)
I need a new signature.....
05-20-2008, 07:57 PM #10Now...
Lets talk about a few of these.
1. Leak Detector
2. Acetylene torch kit with tank and 3 tip sizes
3. Spare Nitrogen Tank
4. Blower and Pulley pullers
5. Calking Gun
6. Refrigeration Scale
7. Refrigeration Oil Pump
Does anyone think these 7 tools a Tech should supply? They really seem like Company Supplied tools to me.
The leak detector is kind of iffy............some will buy it, some won't. I think my Co. has a couple, but I've never seen them........I have my own.
The rest of it, yes, unfortunately, in the real world you're going to have to bite the bullet and buy some tools.
I own at least one of every tool on that list, as I would suspect the majority of people here do, I have doubles and triples of many of them.........I think the only tools they bought me were the Vac pump, ladders (I have a set of those too) and reclaimer.
I'm not an owner, I'm a union service tech.

BASIC hand tools is what we are required to supply. Most of us have our own meters cause we dont like the ones that were being supplied. But if it breaks the company replaces it.
Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.
Jerry Garcia
There is no way in hell i would buy torches, a nitrogen tank, and a refrigeration oil pump. That would be a big red flag that this company is shady. Get the fack out of dodge. Ill bet they have techs buy this equipment and still charge the customer for the use of equipment that they didnt pay for, its suppose to be equally beneficial for the tech as it is for the company.
I will take a bullet for my Veto LC tool bag!

Thanks for the input guys, I'm going to talk with my Service manager and discuss this further.
I would def like to have some if not all of these tools for my personal use some day but, I dont feel like buying all these for this company would benefit me in anyway except using a new tool (like most of you are saying).
I will reply with his answer by Friday

Luck is all about gaining the things without proper planning. Even with proper planning, you still need the luck in your hands. The kind of having luck can be test inside the casino. Casino games required such amount of luck that a person must have.
The luck that one may have should be better than the other. Well, gaining such things required lessons about reading the cards and the rolling of the dice that you may know can help you. Your eyes are as precious as the money that is in front of you.
You can never know how it will work if you do not have the key to see the reasons people try such gambling. You can be the best inside the casino if you know how to use your luck well. You can work hard for it, or you can just play as if you were just a kid inside trying new things to be learned.
There is no way that you will let those rolling dice, those shuffle deck and that wheels in the table win over you and go home with nothing. You can never say what the people in your back might see you, as long as you know how good you are, and then your luck will do the rest for you.

Browns sign Ricky Elmore to practice squad
The Browns added defensive lineman Ricky Elmore to the practice squad Tuesday.
Elmore was a sixth-round draft pick by the Packers in 2011. He spent training camp in 2012 with the Chargers before being released and was a member of the Cardinals' practice squad for three weeks before he was let go on Sept. 25.
Elmore (6-5, 255) had 25 1/2 sacks in his career at the University of Arizona.

With "Game of Factions" (not "Game of Thrones") I define:
"The effect of choosing a certain faction on the variety of missions or campaigns available for a player in MWO and the overall amount of player character action this may result in."
Now, did the thought of having more player character action, when you decided to join a specific faction, cross your mind at any stage (before joining a faction, recent change the faction allegiance, etc.)?
If so, what are your expectations with regard to future conflicts and being involved in them as a mechwarrior of your faction?
In your opinion, which faction will see the most diversified battle action of them all (this could be reasoned by the faction borderlines, the player types that joined a particular faction, the cultural background of a faction provided by the lore, or a faction's history, its present activities, and its future politics/involvments)?
In addition, which of the available Inner Sphere factions (House Davion, House Kurita, The Free Rasalhague Republic, House Steiner, House Marik, or House Liao) do you think will have the overall highest mech action load, and why?
Naturally, some of the factions are more popular than others (indicated by the present number of faction members, which would be interesting to know, although the number of faction talk subforum topics and participation therein could be an indicator), but this could be a trend that may change at some stage ...

There is nothing more exciting than seeing the world through the eyes of a second grader. They are so excited to learn new things. Guiding them to new discoveries and providing opportunities to explore the world around them best describes the type of classroom I try to create.

Sunrise is a beautiful, free iPhone calendar alternative
Last November I covered a new service called Sunrise. The goal of the service, after connecting it to your Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google Calendar accounts, was to help you start the day with a personalized agenda in your inbox. It would incorporate details about upcoming meetings, as well as who you're meeting with, from the various services.
While having an organized agenda automatically created for you each morning with important details was intriguing, after using the service for a few weeks the e-mail started to feel more like spam than a helpful digital assistant.

Overview of Oak Ridge
Oak Ridge is located in the eastern part of Tennessee, roughly 22 miles northwest of Knoxville. IT combines the abundant amenities of a big city with a small-town atmosphere.

Only about 30 square miles of the city include residential, commercial and municipal-owned property. In 2009, Oak Ridge was named one of the 25 fastest-growing towns where residents see their incomes go the furthest by Money Magazine.
Oak Ridge is a great community for families because of its very low crime rates, greenways, athletic fields and close proximity to national parks. The city is also the location of the Melton Hill Lake, which is recognized as the home of the Oak Ridge rowing course, which offers 173 miles of shoreline for boating, fishing and rowing. The City is also home to 16 beautiful community parks peppered around town.
Oak Ridge apartments for rent are ideal for the outdoors type because of all the amenities and beautiful weather. According to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of Oak Ridge is more than 29,350.
Living in Oak Ridge, TN
The history of Oak Ridge began when the U.S. government built the community in secrecy during World War II as a major site of the Manhattan Project, the wartime effort that created the world's first atomic weapons. An estimated 60,000 acres of rural farmland was purchased by the U.S Army Corps of Engineers in 1942. The goal was to create a temporary city with three different facilities to develop sufficient technology that ended the war. After the war ended, the community remained and turned from a military town into an independent city. Originally, the community was self-governing, but in 1959 residents voted overwhelmingly to incorporate the area.
Oak Ridge Work and Study
Oak Ridge is home to a national laboratory and a national security complex, so there are many high-tech employers in the area. The top employers in the area include B&W Y-12, UT-Battelle, Methodist Medical Center, UCOR, SAIC, Oak Ridge Associated Universities and Energy Solutions.

Staff Sgt. Kristen Chandler, who served in Afghanistan, gets surprise welcome home to Kingston (with video)
KINGSTON, N.Y. — Facebook usually is a mistaken place to keep a secret, but for Stan Chandler, the social media network enabled him to host a surprise welcome home Sunday for his daughter, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Kristen Chandler, who was returning from a one-year tour of duty in Afghanistan.
Asked how he kept the surprise from his daughter, home on leave for a few weeks, the Army veteran smiled and said, "Facebook. I set it all up on Facebook, but kept the information from hers."
The welcome home party was held at the Joyce-Schirick Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1386 and brought together members of all branches of the service to honor her return.
Uniformed VFW members lined up inside the hall, flags at the ready, to await Chandler's entrance. As word spread of her arrival, the crowded and noisy hall got so quiet a dropped pin could have been heard. Even the little ones were still.
As "Present colors!" rang out, the surprised staff sergeant walked into a flag-lined entry to the hall, but, as befits an officer, she maintained her poise.
As the assembled crowd shouted, "Welcome Home"and "Thank you," however, Chandler's face broke into a huge smile.
"I was surprised," a happy and relaxed Chandler admitted later. "I don't know how my father kept this a secret."
Chandler, a former music teacher in the Kingston school district, said she enlisted in the Army in 2004 as a means to further her education. She had obtained a bachelor of arts degree in music and a bachelor of science degree in education from Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania.
However, she auditioned with the Army in advance of enlisting, to qualify as a bandsman. Continued...
"Music is my life," Chandler said. "If I were going to serve, I wanted it to be in service to music, too."
Currently stationed at Fort Stewart, Ga., Chandler spent the last year with her band, Control Detonation, touring U.S. bases across Afghanistan. Piano and trumpet are her instruments.
"We play all kinds of popular music, some rock, some jazz, to guys who maybe haven't heard any American music for a long time," Chandler said. She said many of the bases she visited were in isolated areas of Afghanistan, so the band was warmly greeted by soldiers.
"It was so rewarding to hear soldiers tell us they forgot for a while they were in Afghanistan when they heard us play," Chandler said. "We brought them a little piece of home."
