Would the maintainers be interested in an editable version of Tomdroid?
I have modified the source code enough to provide basic editing capabilities:
- ability to add new notes
- ability to edit and save notes and note titles
- ability to delete notes
all of the above are followed by an instant sync with the server, which seems to work.
Check out the code here:
Update: changed the URI to the code

Can you please upload the code as a branch of tomdroid?
e.g.: bzr push lp:~tomdroid-dev/tomdroid/note-editing-and-sync
And if you are sure that it is finished, please propose the branch for merging into lp:tomdroid!
I will have a look - but it already sounds really awesome!
Thanks a lot.
|NoahY (noahy) said :
Dear Stefan,
Okay, I'll try. I changed the package name to allow me to install both side by side, but I can change it back.
BTW, I can't sync with Ubuntu One, either on Linux or Android; it looks like a problem with their server, so I've been testing it with Snowy on my own server, which seems to work well.
|NoahY (noahy) said :
It says I'm not a member of Tomdroid Developers, which makes sense, since I'm not :) I'll push it to my ppa, anyway, packaged as org.tomdroid.
It's not really finished, but it does seem to work; probably the next step is to make the editor a rich text box; right now it uses markup style for *italics* and *bold* and +large+. That was just a quick fudge to get it out the door; hopefully someone will be able to give it a full editor.
Ubuntu one sync is working for me... weird! But they sometimes have problems with their notes service.
You can easily become a Tomdroid Developer by joining the group - there are no restrictions! https:/
I will look at you branch as soon as possible. Hopefully, also Olivier has some time to check it - he knows the code much better than me.
If your code is working with two way sync at the moment, please don't add 1000s of further features like rich text editing, but always create one branch for one feature. Branches can of course depend on each other (eg: you take your code now, duplicate it to a new branch and add features. Your stuff has then to be merged in the same order.=
Please check out the other work-in-progress things, as there is already a rich text editing feature existing.
Best would be to also test your stuff, remove unnecessary white-space changes,clean the code up and propose it for merging if you are really sure that you stuff is ready to be used for everyone everyday!
Thanks for your contributions!
Cheers, Stefan
|NoahY (noahy) said :
Sorry, I meant the notes sync... syncing Tomboy or Tomdroid with Ubuntu One doesn't work for me, gives a 500 Server error.
Here's the new branch:
I'll revert the Markdown hack, let it just be raw xml editing. Then maybe look into how they did the WYSIWYG editor. Please do test it and let me know if it works outside of my lab :)
I had a short look yesterday with the old branch: I could run it on Android 4, but not below - there it crashed all the time. But this is expected, as you raised the target SDK level to 10, which is not really a good idea. We should at least also support android 2.1 and 2.2. Best would be to also include Android 1.6. I think, that almost nobody out there is still using 1.5, so its ok to exclude it.
Do you think, you can support also older Android versions? Maybe there is a library out there which does exactly the things you need on older SDK versions. This would be great.
Futher, have you also implemented two way sync for the local sdcard sync? If you do so, please use our sdcard.img file as test ressource!
Happy hacking :-)
|NoahY (noahy) said :
Dear Stefan,
I borrowed the XML Parser from the note-editing branch, and they were using some functions from API 9, so I had to jack up the minSDK. I've found workarounds, I think, and put it back down to 3.
SD Card sync is now working, I've been able to save, delete, and create new notes with the SD Card and with my own Snowy server. Yay :)
I'm still getting a 500 error at https:/
Great! I am very excited about your work!
your link path returns an array for me:
{"user-name": "https:/
Maybe you are not authenticated? we will figure it out somehow.
As I already mentioned, if you have tested your code and you think this can be merged, please klick the propose for merging link!
I just tested your latest work - I am fascinated. Creating a note and editing worked with simple text. This is great!
I of course got several force closes, eg when trying to write bold text. There are small ui things, like in the NoteView, there is the gray Titlebar, which should be hidden - but this are peanuts.
Further, when creating a new note, android is asking which application to choose when taping into the note body field. There are two Tomdroid entries... klicking on them does strange things :-D
You might also want to test the code in different SDK versions, just to make sure it works everywhere.
As soon as your code works perfectly, I thought of migrating our App to the new ActionBar Framework for a consistent look and feel in Android 4 - and also below it looks much better and does exactly what we need! So you don't have to concentrate on ui tweaks of the ActionBar!
|NoahY (noahy) said :
Dear Stefan,
Thanks for testing :)
Your force closes are probably a bug in the xml parser for nested tags. Adding a second formatting to text caused the tags to get jumbled somehow, like:
This is fixed in the latest code.
I've now integrated the actionbar - on earlier SDKs this puts everything in the menu popup, which I guess is expected. The titlebar now changes to reflect the current activity.
The bug asking for an application is because of two things: first, I had extra code in the manifest, which caused links to be opened by either VewNote or EditNote - now they should only open via ViewNote; and second, the original code wasn't checking for empty titles, and so it was linking empty text - when you clicked on the note body, it thought this was a link to the new note itself. All fixed now.
Please test again and let me know.
|NoahY (noahy) said :
Oh, and I found out what was wrong with Ubuntu One... I guess I had corrupted my notes; deleting them from the server allowed me to sync again... can confirm it is working! Yay - now I have a real note-taking app that syncs with my Ubuntu notes :)
Do you think Olivier will respond to this?
Sorry - I can't test at work, but i will have a look in the evening.
Thanks for fixing all the bugs... you even implemented the Actionbar already? wow!
Is there an actionbar also in Android 2.3 and below now, or is there only the titlebar?
I read somewhere, that it is also possible to implement the actionbar in these versions - even with most used buttons and an home icon. see the links here: https:/
I have one question: you are uploading the edited note directly, are you? What if there is no internet connection? will it remember to sync the note later?
Maybe it is better to just save the note and upload/download it in one go. Mobile Internet connections are not always really great and if you then can't upload it properly, you have to retry and so on.
If you are bored until i find new bugs in the evening ;-) you can create a new branch on top of this one and try to get a sync service working. this would be a big improvement together with two way sync. Best would be to have some settings, how often to sync and to turn on/off the automatic sync service (just look how other apps are doing it). Or you can do it like the google apps... I think they sync whenever a connection comes up and then in a regulary manner.
more here: https:/
And if this is too much work, you can also try to get a "tablet ui" working. If the actionbar is implemented, this should be no problem, as you only have to define screen fragments. there is even an example with a listfragment and a viewnote fragment in the links here: https:/
But as i already mentioned - please make new branches therefore. it is easier to review then!
Olivier will for sure respond! At least when he sees your merging request with the attatched diff file.
|NoahY (noahy) said :
Okay, I made it only push changes on sync. Now what it does is:
- on new note, it creates a local note
- on save note, it updates the local note
- on delete note, it adds a tag "system:deleted"
Then, on sync, it does the following:
- checks if there are local changes newer than last sync
- asks if you want to push local changes
- if you are pushing local changes, pushes all local notes that aren't on the remote
- if you are not pushing, deletes all local notes that aren't on remote
- compares local and remote note dates:
- if a local note is newer, and you are pushing local changes, and the local has the "system:deleted" tag, it deletes both remote and local versions
- if a local note is newer, and you are pushing local changes, rejects the remote note, pushing the local version instead
- if local is newer but you aren't pushing, or local is older overwrites the local with the remote
- if local date = remote date, skips the note
Whew. That's enough for me. I looked at the Sync Service, not into it, really. Also, some sort of action bar compat, but also not into it. Enough, until you, or someone, finds some bugs :)
I like your changes very much!
But unfortunately I can't build the branch as it is! It looks like the icons/drawable are missing: highlight, xml, ic_menu_sync

Have you tried running this on Android 1.6? I always get a force close when trying to view a note synced from our sdcard image.
|NoahY (noahy) said :
Sorry, I've added the missing resources.
I will try running it on 1.5 (our minSDK)... didn't have the SDK downloaded before. I've been testing on 2.2 and 4.0 so far.
|NoahY (noahy) said :
Okay, it seems to be running on 1.5 with revision 301, except Toast messages don't show properly on the SDK. Seems to be a bug in the emulator, or maybe have to use a custom Toast.
Awesome! I can compile now and it works great on Android 4.1
however, I still cant view notes on 1.6: http://
And on Android 2.3 all TextViews are singleline only... the about-box is a single line, viewnote content ist just a slingle line and editnote content ist also just a single line. i had a look, but couldn't find out why this is the case. Also the editnote content is not displayed on top, but centered.
The icons are also displayed right now!
Sync works perfectly - which is just great!
To get an ActionBar also on <11 there are two possibilities: either write some abstract classes like shown in the ActionBar Combat Sample of the SDK, or include the ActionBarSherlock library. I think the latter sounds much easier.
But I personally also like it without actionbar... the important thing is that it syncs two way!
I fixed the SingleLine problem with using the light theme on api<11.
Further I aadded android:
This change in the theme also fixed my crash on Android 1.6!
So everything is working atm. Great!
Oh... While testing, I realised one little thing, which can be annoying: In EditView you can not scroll down with tapping and swiping. therefore there is no way to scroll here. This is not good!
Great work, though!
|NoahY (noahy) said :
Dear Stefan,
I think I also fixed the single line problem, but by adding android:height to the xml file. Seems it needs a height declaration to fill the textview.
Also added gravity="top" before, not sure how it disappeared :)
I think I also fixed the scroll problem - it was the MovementMethod... let me know if the latest code is any better - it is scrolling on swipe here.
Oh, and I'm sorry for this, but I added a tablet layout to this branch; it seemed too complicated to have to create a new branch with all the changes I've already made, and the split layout only seems to make sense if we have an edit activity as well, so there you have it. Hope it isn't too much work to review, it wasn't that difficult to implement. How it works is if the width of the tablet is greater than 600px and it is in landscape mode, it shows the split screen, and a combined actionbar menu Here's a screenshot:
Also, modified the SD Card sync to preserve various tags on the sdcard that we don't use in Tomdroid.
And merged your changes, though I'm not sure if the theme specification is necessary with my first change mentioned above.
Hey NoahY,
Thanks for this awesome work. I'm just now joining this thread. I've tested your changes on a Moto DroidX running 2.3.4 and a Nexus 7 with 4.1. After your most recent update (changing targetSdkVersion to 10), it looks fantastic on the Nexus.
2.3.4 on the DroidX, however, has some issues. See this screenshot: http://
As you can see, the TextView is only a single line high, but I'm able to scroll it if I can get my fat finger on it. The EditView in note_edit is the same.
|NoahY (noahy) said :
Hey Lucas,
Thanks for testing... glad to hear it works okay on 4.1 :)
Sorry about 2.3, I had fixed it, but I guess I reverted a change. This bug is a strange one... Stefan tried to fix it, but I think there was one thing missing (or maybe I just reverted a change of his by mistake)... after creating the layout-v11 folder and file, in AndroidManifest
|Olivier Bilodeau (plaxx) said :
Alright better late than sorry.
Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask NoahY for more information if necessary.

Tips for Relief | Stop Ears From Ringing
Although some tinnitus remedies can aggravate the condition, these suggestions can help to control those internal noises. Here are some tips that can help:
When you are at home and you are experiencing some of these symptoms, the best way for you to manage and control these noises is to use an earplug. Refrain from exposing yourself to loud noises such as traffic and people who are talking, the sound of electrical appliances or heavy machinery etc. as this will also cause an amplification of the ringing sounds and will really get you annoyed and irritated. Ear plugs can also help reduce the level of noise that are coming from these sources.
Watch what you eat. Some of the common causes of tinnitus include excessive intake of sugar, nicotine or caffeine. Refrain from putting additional spices to your food, it also helps if you reduce your coffee, tea and soda intake. These foods can worsen the condition as well. It is also recommended that you eat a lot of fresh fruits vegetables to enhance the immune system of your body. Eating of dried fruits and veggies can improve your blood's circulation and lessen the effects of tinnitus.
Do a lot of exercise and learn to practice yoga. Exercising is also essential to keep yourself physically fit. Physical exercises help prevent blood pressure and other diseases that can attack your immune system. Yoga exercises can also help reduce the effects of tinnitus as it helps you focus on one thing instead of being distracted by those noises. Yoga also helps you to meditate and can boost your physical and mental health as well. You can also use the earplugs while doing these exercises.
If you are going to sleep, you can turn off your alarm clock or your radio to help you sleep and relax more. Or in some cases, you can re arrange the signal of your radio as this will help balance the internal sounds and the external sounds.

A C90 cassette has room for, amazingly, 90 minutes - 45 minutes on each side. The physical tape has space for 4 'lanes' of ferromagnetic recording - stereo left and right on side A, and left and right on side B.
A 4-track cassette recorder uses all four lanes on the same 'side', giving 45 minutes. But in runs the tape at double speed, giving you about 22 minutes.
So the longest piece of music I could compose would be about 22 minutes long. So that's what I did, and this piece is a 4 minute excerpt of one of my 'epics'.
I was getting into ambient music, much influenced by The Orb, and this one breaks ground in having...no drums at all.
This must have been about 1992, because about then I managed to get...MIDI! I hacked a sequencer program to replace onboard sounds with my own samples, and made 5 or 6 albums with it. Almost nothing from which escaped the memory hole.
But it's okay, because although the playing was much better, and the sound quality improved, most of it was decidedly ordinary, and didn't feel like making music by hand anymore.

HOUSTON — Now that the sun is finally shining and the murky, brown floodwaters are slowly receding in much of the Houston area, grim reality is setting in.
Harvey is about to release its dead.
In Texas, the official death toll stood at 23 on Wednesday, although authorities were investigating an additional 17 deaths to determine whether they were storm related. Officials fear that thenumber of fatalities will climb sharply in coming days as neighbors, emergency workers and family members search for the missing — and discover the bodies of people trapped in waterlogged homes or encased in underwater graves inside cars. And the death toll might rise even further in the recovery phase, from car crashes, carbon monoxide poisoning or other accidents during cleanup.
"Historically all estimates of deaths are wrong in the beginning," said Craig Fugate, who was the Federal Emergency Management Agency director from 2009 until earlier this year.
Already, the nation is shocked by the horrors revealed as the storm moves out of the area and east toward Louisiana and points north.
The first confirmed fatality came early: A man in the Gulf coastal city of Rockport was killed in a fire late Friday as the storm raged ashore.
On Wednesday, officials located a submerged van that seven members of a Houston family had been traveling in when it was swept off a bridge and into a storm-ravaged bayou. Samuel Saldivar told police he was trying to bring his elderly parents and his brother's four grandchildren to safety from their flooded home on Sunday when the van he was driving was tossed by a strong current into the bayou as it crossed the bridge. He escaped through a window but the six others were trapped when the van's partially submerged sliding door wouldn't open.
Also Wednesday, authorities said 65-year-old Donald Rogers and his 58-year-old wife, Rochelle, drowned when they were swept away by a current after driving their pickup truck…

The first issue of 2019 is about discrimination Asian women face in school and the workplace. We get hit with a combination of racism and sexism, with some fetishization, high cultural pressure, and the model minority myth thrown in for good measure.
Nevertheless, we overachieve.
In this issue, Asian women share their stories about surviving and thriving in the face of oppression. You'll at out laugh new comics, you'll cry at seeing what we face on a daily basis, you'll relate hard to hiding bad grades and detention from our parents, you'll be starry-eyed at our Model Minorities and you'll know that you are represented, seen, and supported by other Asian women

They make them more dynamic and stimulating innovation. With literally hundreds of creatives of all disciplines living and working here, is the creative vibe a surprise?
For 150 years, Newtown Precinct has been essentially the same – bohemian, artistic and creative; all that's been added is a massive shot of high technology as it has kept pace, but kept its essential character. A tide of new, creative people and companies have embraced Newtown Precinct as the home for their own innovative enterprise; publishers, writers, producers, architects, photographers and visual artists; in television, radio, advertising, film, performing arts, music, games and interactive content.
As Richard Florida says, this is 'the creative class: a fast-growing, highly educated, and well-paid segment of the workforce on whose efforts corporate profits and economic growth increasingly depend'.
Newtown Precinct is a unique home for the creative industries; from technology to entertainment, social enterprise to architecture, high-end animation to the arts, sharing a common ethos that values creativity, individuality, difference, and merit.
Tucked awy in the Flourmill Studios is Scope Productions, a Newtown-based team of creative professionals who specialize in video production, events management, design and multimedia services.
In the backstreets you'll find Lorrie Graham, one of Australia's finest photographers. Iris Pictures, an award-winning production company with an international reputation for broadcast documentaries and videos for not-for-profit clients gets its work done in the Flourmill, as does 'Do Something', a new type of not-for-profit organisation that brings together the resources of the business community and the goodwill of the Australian public.
Down south King Street, specialist architectural glass designers, Glassplay, harness the tension found between the visionary advances of contemporary architecture and the emotionally powerful possibilities that exist where art meets technology, providing visual encoded and conceptually integrated solutions that enhance both the legibility and livability of architectural space.

This article covers:
- Setting your invoice date
- Configuring your invoice settings
- Requiring payment methods
- Enabling auto pay
- Choosing how to charge for bookings & check-ins
Setting your invoice date
You must determine your desired organization billing date (day of the month your invoices and finalized and become due) before you start using Optix. This field is by default the 1st of the month, and can only be edited until such time that invoices are created in Optix.
To determine if your billing date has been locked:
- Select Settings from the left-hand menu, then click Payments
- If you see a greyed out bar under 'Invoice billing date' your billing date is indeed locked, otherwise you will be able to edit this field
For further support with invoice billing dates, please contact email@example.com
Configuring your invoice settings
Most of your invoice and payment settings can be configured by clicking Settings from the left-hand menu and then Payments. From this screen, you will be able to set your:
- Organization tax number (VAT/GST/HST etc.)
- Tax rate to be applied to all invoice charges
- Invoice notification preferences
- Payment instructions (when specified, these will appear on all invoice)
Requiring payment methods
Requiring payment methods from users is a great way to set your organization up for hassle free billing. If you wish to enable auto payments (read on for more info), requiring payments methods is a recommended first step.
- Click Settings from the left-hand menu, then click Payments
- Enable the toggle next to 'Require new users to add a payment method'. Enabling this will require all users to input a payment method before they can perform any actions within your workplace app.
NOTE: this option will only show after you have connected a payment gateway on the 'Integrations' screen.
When the requirement enabled, you can exempt specific users or teams from this requirement. You may wish to do this for members who pay by alternative method outside of Optix (e.g. check, cash or direct bank account transfer).
- Click Users from the left-hand menu, click in to the Teams tab if applicable
- Locate the user/team who you'd like to manually disable auto-payments for, and click their name
- Select Account from the side panel
- Within the 'Payment Method' section, click the toggle next to 'Required' to disable for the user
Enabling auto payments
Optix is capable of completely automating the billing process for your organization. In order to get the most out of auto payments, it is recommended that in addition to enabling the auto pay setting, you also require users to add a payment method to their Optix account as described in the section above.
- Click Settings from the left-hand menu, then click Payments
- Enable the toggle next to 'Automatically process payments for all invoices on the billing date'.
Enabling this setting will automatically process payments for any users who have a payment method attached to their account in Optix.
If you don't wish to have auto pay enabled at the organization level, users will be able to choose if they have payments triggered manually or automatically from within the app. In this case, you can see who has elected to have auto payments by viewing the account section under the user or team side panel.
Choose how to charge for bookings & check-ins
When a booking or check-in is created, Optix will always first look to see if there is an available plan allowance to which it can be charged. If no allowance is available, an automatic charge will be raised for the applicable user or team. These charges can be invoiced immediately, or added to the users upcoming invoice.
From the Payment Settings page, use the drop down menu next to 'Apply any additional charges' to choose how you want to invoice these charges.

User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) are two of the most often confused phrase in designing. They're usually placed and assumed by the people as a single phrase, UI/UX designs.
It's often difficult to find solid descriptions of the two…
But fear not! By the end of this content, you'll come to a conclusion of what differentiates these two and clearing that thin passage of confusion upon this.
UX- User Experience
User Experience is a tech abbreviation for "UX". This experience includes the way a digital product feels to a user while they navigate it, the way the product makes them feel as they use its different features, the ease of product use, and how appealing the user finds the product overall.
UX designers will be in a commanding seat to determine how the user interface and functionality operates, and how it's organized and how all parts relate to one another. In short, they design how the interface works. If the constructed interface works well and feels smooth, the user will have a good experience but if its the other way round, it is likely to be lousy user experience. The role of a UX designer is to avoid the second scenario.
UI- User Interface
As the tech dictionary defines, User Interface is a visual part of a display screen in which user interacts. It consists of buttons user clicks on, the text they read, the images they view, text entry fields, and the rest of all the items to which the user interacts with. This also includes screen layouts, transitions and any sort of visual element, interactions or animations must be designed by the UI designers. These designers decide, what the application is going to look like, including choice of colour schemes, button shapes, the width of lines, fonts to be used. Generally, UX designing is just a skeleton of an app or a page, but the UI designing is the nervous system, where it brings life into the app or a page.
How do they work together!
So a UX designer decides how the user interface works while the UI designer decides how the user interface looks. This is a very collaborative process, and the two design teams tend to work closely together. As the UX team is working out the flow of the app, how all of the buttons navigate you through your tasks, and how the interface efficiently serves up the information user's need, the UI team is working on how all of these interface elements will appear on the screen.
Let's say at some point in the design process it's decided that extra buttons need to be added to a given screen. This will change how the buttons will need to be organized and could require changing their shape or size. The UX team would determine the best way to lay out the buttons while the UI teams adapt their designs to fit the new layout. Constant communication and collaboration between UI and UX designers help to assure that the final user interface looks as good as it can, while also operating efficiently and intuitively.

Singapore's diplomatic ties with North Korea and its relative proximity made the Southeast Asian city-state a natural choice for the historic summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Trump announced in a tweet Thursday the two leaders will meet in Singapore on June 12.
The city is "a great location" for the summit, said Tom Plant, who specializes in nuclear and proliferation issues at London's Royal United Services Institute. "Kim will be on friendly territory, not hostile territory. But he wouldn't be on home turf."
Among the factors: It's closer for Kim than possible Europe venues, the experience of Singapore's security forces, and the fact that Pyongyang has had diplomatic relations with the country since 1975.

This medication is used to treat moderate to severe restless legs syndrome. It is also used to relieve nerve pain following shingles (a painful rash due to herpes zoster infection). This condition is called postherpetic neuralgia. Gabapentin enacarbil is changed by your body to gabapentin. Gabapentin belongs to a class of drugs known as anti-seizure or anticonvulsant drugs.
Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking gabapentin enacarbil and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

If you need to sleep during the daytime and stay awake at night, talk with your doctor about your schedule before using this medication.
For Postherpetic Nerve Pain: Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually once daily with food for several days, then increase to twice a day with food thereafter.
Swallow this medication whole. Do not crush or chew sustained-release tablets. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects.

Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
Drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination, or blurred vision may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
A small number of people who take anticonvulsants for any condition (such as seizure, bipolar disorder, pain) may experience depression, suicidal thoughts/attempts, or other mental/mood problems. Tell your doctor right away if you or your family/caregiver notice any unusual/sudden changes in your mood, thoughts, or behavior including signs of depression, suicidal thoughts/attempts, thoughts about harming yourself.
Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: slow/shallow breathing.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: fever, swollen lymph nodes, rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.

Courtesy of Strategic Forecasting
More than 2 million Muslims from around the world are expected to travel to Saudi Arabia to perform the Hajj, that annual pilgrimage to Mecca that runs this year Dec. 18-21.
Because of the history of violence during the Hajj — some of it extreme — Saudi officials step up security during the period, and last week they concluded what they called the country's largest-ever anti-terrorism security sweep — an operation that resulted in the arrest of more than 200 suspected al Qaeda militants. Riyadh said the operation was intended as a warning to militants who would seek to abuse the event and disturb the pilgrims. Because of past debacles during the Hajj, the Saudi government nowadays can be expected to deal with any militant activity quickly and harshly.
A mob of Muslim pilgrims enraged over flight delays to the Islamic holy city of Mecca stormed a plane at Kabul Airport and beat Afghani-stan's aviation …

TCM Summer Under the Stars. Here she is in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, where she's Ivy, a tart who is about to meet a bad end at the hands of our evil doctor. Then, of course, I'll watch her as the incomparable Ilsa Lund from Casablanca. These old black and white films enchant me.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 60!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live in the burbs and work in the city (Chicago, the best city in the world). I'm an aunt, a friend and a colleague. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Microsoft said Wednesday that its Windows Phone business is essentially dead. The firm is taking a nearly $1 billion loss and cutting about 1,850 jobs, most in Finland, between now and next summer. It's a sad day for fans of the Windows Phone (now called Windows 10 for phones) platform, but the writing was on the wall. Microsoft should just use Android.
Microsoft's mobile operating system market share was below 1 percent, and, if you've been following along, the company recently sold off its feature phone business. Even Microsoft seemed to be spending more time developing for other platforms. Its iOS and Android apps, often, were better than counterparts on Windows Phone. Microsoft's executive vice president of Windows and Devices, Terry Myerson, in a letter to staff, said Microsoft will continue to "develop great new devices," but admitted that it's being "pragmatic and [embracing] other mobile platforms with [Microsoft's] productivity services, device management services, and development tools – regardless of a person's phone choice." In other words, it's still going to work to build great iOS and Android apps.
That hardware point is confusing, though. I can't for the life of me imagine why Microsoft wants to spend any time building "great new devices." I can only assume this means Microsoft might be working on a Surface Phone, perhaps for enterprise customers who want Continuum, but I highly doubt such a product will appeal to consumers. Microsoft had a great idea with Continuum, offering an option to run apps in a desktop-like state, but they were slow and sluggish. The execution was terrible. The app selection was slim. Unless Microsoft can pack an x86 processor into a smartphone – and that probably won't happen now that Intel is also moving its efforts away from the mobile chip business – then the Surface Phone is also going to be a dud.
Since the very dawn of Windows Phone, Microsoft has struggled with market share, mind share and apps. Even with Windows 10, its "universal" app platform, the company couldn't get enough developers to launch new applications. Facebook, for example, just launched the full version of Instagram for Windows Phone, an app that has been in beta since November 2013. Myerson says Microsoft is "scaling back, but we're not out!" though it's hard to imagine how the company isn't completely out. A firm just doesn't write off a $1 billion loss and lay off its mobile staff unless it's really hitting the highway. Unless it looks to a different path. A road that's already paved.
Android has the app foundation Microsoft so desperately needs. And Microsoft already creates excellent applications for the platform. It should use Google Play Services, but it could also take another route, launching a separate app store and individual locations for music and movies, just like Amazon has done. Microsoft could even call it Windows – Amazon's Android operating system is called Fire OS after all, and build it out to look like what the company imagined with Windows Phone. The only difference is that consumers who buy these Android phones would also have access to a full array of applications. If I was Microsoft, though, I'd bite the bullet and license Google Play Services.
Microsoft tried valiantly, and I truly liked a lot of the options Windows Phone and, ultimately, Windows 10 for phones, had to offer. Onward and upward, Microsoft. Call your buddies in Mountain View.
