I have an app that checks for its classname to prevent launching a 2nd
instance but I really need to launch a 2nd instance of it. Therefore I'd
think that I either need to change the classname of the running app or
change the classname of the 2nd instance while I launch it. Any ideas how to
accomplish this?
I've checked into GetClassInfoEx and GetClassLong and can retrieve all the
class information of the running application but SetClassLong doesn't allow
me to change the name. I also looked into RegisterClassEx where I can set
the classname in the WNDCLASSEX structure but don't understand how (if
possible) to use it with CreateWindowEx. CreateProcess doesn't seem to have
an option of setting the classname either.
I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

House of Tea
- Published in Unusual Gifts
The House of Tea was founded in Dublin in 2004 by Martin Mehner. It was the lack of good leaf tea that motivated us to set up a company that does exactly that.
Our main goal is to introduce people to the diverse world of tea and to show them that there is much more to tea than just a bag. We are dedicated to providing quality teas from around the world. Most teas are sourced directly from the tea gardens or the manufacturers. This allows us to monitor the quality of our products and to ensure that the workers in the mainly Asian countries are paid fairly.

\nKicked to the Curb
Scott and I had been dating for
six months when he said I could start
moving some stuff in to his place. I was
psyched that we were unofficially taking
our relationship to the next level.
"That weekend, he helped me move
a box of essentials over to his apartment,
and the following Sunday, he
suggested I bring some more things
over. When I returned later that
afternoon with my duffel bag, I saw
that he'd put my first box out into
the hallway in front of his door. I just
figured he didn't feel like dragging it
out to the curb.
" When I got
closer, I noticed a
note on the box
that read: 'Here's
your stuff back.
I don't think
this is going to
work out. Leave
your key under
the mat.'" —Tara, 27
Foreign Affair
"After we finished high school,
my boyfriend and I got engaged. Shortly
after, he joined the military and was
shipped off to boot camp out of state.
We wrote each other love letters every
day without fail until he graduated.
Once he finished training, he was stationed
in Germany, and I missed him so
much. But after about three months, the
letters and the phone calls stopped, and
I started to worry.
"Then one day out of the blue, his
mom called me crying. I took a deep
breath, preparing to hear that something
awful had happened to him.
Instead, she said that her son was breaking
off the engagement because he had
just gotten married to some German
girl. I ran into him once when he
returned to the States, and he had the
nerve to ask me for the ring back. I told
him I'd pawned it off." —Samantha, 19
Taco Hell
"Being a creative and thoughtful
girlfriend, I decided I'd surprise Brian,
my then boyfriend, with an old-fashioned
love letter. I even went out to the
store to buy special stationery. After I'd
finished writing about all the sexy and
sweet things I wanted to do with him,
I signed the letter with a kiss and
popped it into the mailbox. Then, the
weirdest thing happened — Brian just
stopped calling me.
"After a week of zero contact, I started
wondering if he'd fallen off the planet.
Then I went to get the mail and saw that
there was a white envelope with my
name scrawled on it in his handwriting.
I tore it open, expecting to find something
along the lines of a steamy
response. But no, inside the envelope
was a greasy, folded up fast-food wrapper.
On it, he had written, plain and
simple: 'We're done.'" —Beth, 29
Runaway Groom
"Dylan and I said I do on a
cold day in November in front of a small
group of close friends and family. As
my father walked me down the aisle,
I noticed a woman out of the corner
of my eye who was sitting alone in the back of the church. It struck me as odd
that I'd never seen her before, but at
the time, I was so excited that I didn't
really think much of it.
"The next morning, right before we
were supposed to leave for a fabulous
honeymoon in the Caribbean, my husband
of 12 hours broke the news that he
was still in love with his ex — the woman
I had seen in the church." —Fiona, 34
First-Class Ass
"I was stoked to be flying out to
Florida to see Jake, my long-distance
boyfriend, for New Year's Eve. We
hadn't seen each other in three weeks,
and we had tons of fun things planned
for the holiday. I was packed and ready
to go, sitting in a taxi on my way to the
airport, when I noticed a missed call on
my cell. I smiled when I saw my guy's
number, thinking that he'd left me a
cute have-a-safe-flight message.
"Instead, I punched in my password
to hear: 'I hope you haven't left already
because I don't think it's a good idea for
you to come down here. In fact, I think
we should break up.'" —Lucy, 24
While You Were Bleeping
"One night Dave, my boyfriend
of about seven months, said he
would come over to my apartment
after he had cocktails with some of the
guys from his office. By midnight, he
was still MIA, so I called his cell, his
apartment, and his office and got no
answer anywhere. By then I was frantic:
Did he get in a car accident? Was
he badly hurt? Should I call the hospital?
The police? I was up for hours,
worrying about what possibly could
have happened to him.
"Then at 4 in the morning, Dave
stumbled in drunk. 'Where were
you?' I asked, pissed but also relieved
that he was apparently okay. In slurred
speech, he mumbled something about
going home with some other girl and
having sex with her. And then, as if
that wasn't bad enough already, he
had the nerve to tell me it was over."
—Gemma, 27
Heartbreak Hostel
"My ex-boyfriend and I went on a
three-week backpacking trek through
Europe together. He was unemployed,
so I offered to pay. As soon as we landed,
he started picking these little fights with
me about the most ridiculous things. By
the end of the first week, he just stopped
on the street, threw his pack down, and
yelled, 'You're driving me insane! I just
can't be with you anymore.'
"The problem was that we still had
two more weeks left, and I'd already
paid for the whole thing. So we ended
up spending the next two miserable
weeks together rehashing every
problem that we'd ever had in our relationship
and trying to make things work.
He dumped me anyway on the day
before we flew home." —Tanya, 28
Pregnant Pause
"My boyfriend, Jeff, and I
were in a quasi-long-distance relationship
because he did a lot of traveling
for his finance job. While I'll admit
that I didn't love our every-other-week
arrangement, I was dealing with the
situation because I thought we were
really good for each other.
"One Friday, after he'd just gotten
back into town from a two-week stint
overseas, he took me out for an amazing
dinner at my favorite restaurant. We
lingered for hours, enjoying the wine
and great conversation. After dessert,
we found our way back to his place, and
he proved to me — in the sack — just
how much he'd missed me. Everything
seemed absolutely perfect.
"But the next morning, it went to hell.
While we were cuddling in bed, he
blurted out that he'd gotten his ex-girlfriend
pregnant and he was getting
back together with her." —Sybil, 23
Two-Timing Train Wreck
"Tom, my college boyfriend,
and I had been dating for about a year
and a half when out of the blue he
called late one night and told me he
was breaking up with me. I never saw
it coming, and I was completely devastated —
crying hysterically, couldn't
eat, couldn't sleep, the works.
"After a month of avoiding each
other around campus, we decided to
meet up and see how the other person
was doing. Eventually we had 'the talk'
and decided to get back together. A
month later, I went home for the
weekend. When I got back, my roommate
was acting really weird and so
was Tom. He sat me down and told me
that he was in love with my roommate —
something they had figured
out just that weekend — and that we
needed to break up again so that he
could go out with her." —Becky, 28

Arabstats: Sponsored by the United Nations Development Programme
Programme on Governance in the Arab Region (POGAR)
Arabstats, sponsored by the United Nations Development Programme on Governance in the Arab Region (UNDP-POGAR), is a repository of statistical indicators for human development in the region. They concern governance and Arab progress toward the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set by the international community for all developing countries.
Visit the website and get data
In keeping with the UNDP's mission to accelerate progress in human development, Arabstats track the processes of human empowerment implied not only by increases in income, trade and investment, but also in education and health care, freedom of expression, the rule of law, transparency and accountability, respect for diversity, protection from violence, and the preservation of the environment, all of which are understood to be "essential dimensions of human development and well being."
Indexed by variable, country, and year, the data set facilitates cross-country comparisons of progress not only toward the millennium goals but to structural changes in governance and other indicators that will make human development sustainable in the region. The user may examine interesting sub-regional variations between Maghrib, Mashraq, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and the poorer countries of the region. The user may also generate comparison and charting of any indicator.
In relation to data sources used by the United Nations Development Programme on Governance in the Arab Region (UNDP – POGAR), POGAR is keen to point out that every Arab country has its own statistics agency or authority, albeit with different degrees of refinement. Moreover, many socio-economic concepts are not standardized among countries in the MENA region. Thus, POGAR finds it more convenient and efficient to resort to UN and other international data sources, on socio-economic, legal judicial and other conditions in the Arab Region, especially as these sources enable regional and international comparisons.

By MARCIE GEFFNER - bankrate.com
The rate lock might be the most complicated issue mortgage borrowers need to understand. Here, five questions and answers demystify how a rate lock works.
What is a rate lock?A rate lock is a guarantee that the lender will offer the borrower a specific combination of interest rate and points, according to Greg Cook, a loan consultant at Golden Empire Mortgage in Temecula, Calif. A point is a fee or rebate equal to 1 percent of the loan amount.
Also essential to a rate lock is a time period, typically 10, 15, 30, 45 or 60 days.
A rate lock protects the borrower from rate fluctuations for the duration of the lock period. If market rates rise after the rate is locked, the borrower will still get the lower rate, to the lender's detriment. But there's a downside: If rates fall after the rate is locked, the borrower might not be able to take advantage of that opportunity.
When can a rate be locked?
During the housing boom, some lenders allowed borrowers to lock while they were house hunting. Today, buyers typically must wait until a seller has accepted their purchase offer for a specific property.
Other information is also necessary to lock because rates offered to an individual borrower depend on the borrower's credit score, the loan-to-value ratio, the property type, the locality and other factors in addition to market rates.
"Until I have all the pieces to the puzzle," Cook says, "I can't accurately quote what their rate and cost will be."
How long can a rate be floated?
In theory, a mortgage rate could be floated until the transaction closes. But that's not practical in the real world, explains Peter Thompson, a senior loan officer at Prospect Mortgage in Naperville, Ill.
Instead, the rate must be locked at least a few days, or more likely a week before closing, to allow time for the lender to prepare disclosures and loan documents. This paperwork is known as the closing package.
"Typically, you want a week between locking and closing," Thompson says. "You can't really (float until) the day before because we have to do the closing package."
How much does a rate lock cost?
Borrowers are often told there's no charge for a rate lock. That's true in the sense that the rate lock isn't associated with a fee. But a rate lock isn't free. Rather, a longer rate lock typically involves a higher interest rate, which is more expensive for the borrower. The interest rate, or "pricing," difference between a 15-day rate lock and 60-day rate lock might be as little as one-eighth or as much as one-half of a percentage point, Thompson explains.
"The shorter the term that it's locked, the more risk (the borrower) is taking on," he says. "But they should be getting a better price."
What happens if the rate lock expires before closing?
The lender might offer to extend the rate lock. If not, that combination of rate and points might no longer be available.
"If you go beyond the lock period," Thompson says, "you'll have to get an extension, or if an extension isn't possible, you'll end up paying the market rate, and it could be higher."
This back-end risk is a good argument for a longer rate lock, especially if the transaction involves a short sale or a brand-new home that's under construction.
"The big thing is having a firm knowledge of when you'll be able to close," Thompson says.

On February 2 I finally got word that I had passed the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) tasting exam that I took back on October 25. I am now a Recognized BJCP judge!
I celebrated my success by immediately volunteering to judge in a few competitions. I'll need 5 judging points to advance to the next BJCP rank, which is Certified. I'm already partway there because I've judged on two prior occasions. Generally, a day's worth of judging (morning and afternoon sessions) is worth one point.
Last Saturday CFL and I were up verrrry early to drive to Tacoma to judge (and in CFL's case to steward) at a competition being held on a military base. The competition organizer met us at the gate to sign us onto the base, then treated us to a tour of a C-17 before we began judging at 9:00.
Drinking beer at 9:00 AM sounds very odd (and not particularly inviting) on the face of it. Especially so because I was judging strong ales–big beers that I would not want to gulp at any time of day. However, I quickly found that I was able to assess and describe the beers I was judging based only on big sniffs and tiny sips. Three of the six beers that I judged were perfectly lovely examples of the category, and thoroughly enjoyable to sniff and sip! The other three weren't bad, just not quite as good. I held up fine all through the morning and began the afternoon eager to taste more beers.
Then I got assigned to judge American Amber Ales in the afternoon. Frankly, the best Amber out there is "meh" as far as I'm concerned–just sort of middle of the road on malt and hop flavor, well balanced and inherently bland. I and my co-judge had to taste and evaluate 11 of these beers. There were no clear standouts, nor any really awful beers. By the end of the day my taste buds were rather fatigued and I was struggling to come up with fresh adjectives to describe what I was tasting.
Still it was an enjoyable and educational day overall. I've now earned 3 judging points. I've got my next two competitions lined up and I should be promoted to Certified by April.
After that, I expect to remain at that rank for the foreseeable future. To advance to National rank, I'll have to re-take the tasting exam and score above 80 (I scored a tantalizingly close 77 on my first exam), and pass a written exam that will make everything I've done so far seem easy. I'm in no hurry to do all that!
It is nice, though, to have a genuine credential in the world of beer geekdom. And now you'll know that the next time you see me drinking a beer, it will be for the purpose research and evaluation.
Mostly. Also for enjoyment.

Police dog stabbed during Randolph standoff
Suspect accused of stealing drugs, stabbing police K9
The suspect in a West Gardiner prescription drug theft and police K9 stabbing was arrested after a standoff in Randolph early Thursday.
Kennebec County Sheriff Randall Liberty said a report came in at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday that Dustin Smith, 20, was reportedly at the Windsor Heights Apartment Complex in Randolph after a prescription drug theft in West Gardiner.
An inquiry revealed that Smith had an outstanding warrant for failure to appear on the charge of operating after suspension and had three years of probation pending for aggravated assault. Smith had already served two years in a correctional facility on that charge.
Cpl. G.J. Neagle and his K9, Draco, pursued Smith and found him crouching behind a set of steps at the Windsor Height Apartment Complex. Liberty said Smith pulled out a 6-inch hunting knife and threatened to stab deputies. He was held at gunpoint, but deputies were concerned about firing shots in the residential area.
Draco was sent in chase and engaged Smith, who Liberty said stabbed the dog. Draco had a several inches long stab wound on the base of his left ear, just missing his wind pipe.
Cpl. Neagle took Draco to the Emergency Animal Clinic in Lewiston for emergency surgery. Draco has numerous internal stitches and seven external staples. Cpl. Neagle said he's expected to make a full recovery.
Smith, meanwhile, was able to barricade himself inside an apartment. The Maine State Police tactical team arrived to negotiate with Smith. Liberty said Smith released a woman and young child at 9:00 p.m.
A search warrant was approved at 10:15 p.m. The standoff ended around 10:40 p.m., according to dispatchers.

It's Friday and that means we're ready to go grab a burger after work and relax a bit. Who are we kidding? We like to do this any day of the week. Nevertheless, we big fans of good and/or fast food and we love nothing more than to have an excuse to use our phones. With that in mind, we decided this week's list would be centered around some of our favorite dining establishments.
We've put together a list of five apps based on restaurants that we love to frequent. No, these aren't your four star and five star hoity toity joints. These are places where we can pick up a good cheeseburger or a buffalo wings and maybe some cheesecake.
We know there's a ton of other restaurant and dining apps out there and understand we're going to miss a lot of favorites. To that end, we ask that you tell us your preferred apps for lunch or dinner.
This week: Android apps from our favorite RESTAURANTS

Weekly home and garden rail, with standing features such as How To and Psychology of Color -- and much, much more.
Want to Go Green? A tip from Treehugger.com on how to "go green" at home: Buy bamboo! Bamboo represents a family of grasses that range in size from tiny to huge, and in color from lime green to maroon striped. It is incredibly fast-growing and versatile and has become the unofficial poster material of environmental designers and builders. Bamboo can be flattened into flooring, molded into furniture, pressed into veneers, sliced up to make window blinds, or, hey, you can just build your whole house out of it. Most bamboo comes from China and is grown with few of no pesticides. Because it is so fast-growing, it is much easier to maintain healthy bamboo forests. For the most part, bamboo is one of the greenest materials around. Need Some Fast Cash? Check Your Couch Cushions A German student who purchased a $200 couch at a flea market later found a 10- by 15-inch painting in the pullout sofa – and sold it for $27,630. It turns out it was a rare 17th-century oil painting, The Associated Press reported. How To Replace a Water Heater 1. After shutting off the water supply to the tank, connect a hose to the drain valve at the bottom of the tank, open the valve and drain the water from the tank. Use two wrenches to unscrew the inlet and outlet fittings from the top of the tank. 2. For a gas water heater, shut off the gas inlet valve and use two wrenches to disconnect the union or flare fitting between the gas supply pipe and the inlet valve. Also remove the flue hat that expels gasses into the flue at the top of the tank. 3. After removing the old unit, set the new one in place with the controls and burner accessible. Allow at least 6 inches of clearance around its perimeter, and keep it away from flammable materials. Use a level to check it for plumb; shim the base with pieces of asphalt shingles or plastic wedges. 4. Wrap the threads of the heat trap fittings with pipe-wrap tape, and screw the fittings into the water heater (blue into the cold-water inlet, red into the hot-water outlet). Be sure the arrows marked on the fittings point in the direction of water flow. 5. Install new flexible connectors on the water inlet and outlet pipes. If there is no shutoff valve on the cold-water side, install one before connecting the water heater. After all connections are complete, open the shutoff valve to fill the tank. While it is filling, open several hot-water faucets in the house to bleed off air in the pipes. 6. Assemble the gas pipes. Spread pipe dope on the threads, and screw together the parts, tightening them with one pipe wrench on the pipe and another on the fitting. Follow manufacturer's instructions for connecting the unit with gas supply tubing. After turning on the gas, test all connections by brushing soapy water on them and watching for bubbles. – Hometips.com Coming Soon to Your Home? Tired of having to lie down when taking a bath? Perhaps you should consider a Japanese soaking bathtub. The tub is vertical as opposed to the traditional horizontal types, and you relax on a built-in seat so that the water envelops your body up to the shoulders. Prices vary (and are hard to come by on the Internet), so do some research if you'd like to add this luxury to your home. -– Info from Luxuryhousingtrends.com. Tip of the Week: How to Grow Carrots If you have terrible soil for growing carrots, thoroughly water an area so that it loosens up enough for some digging. Take a flat-edged shovel and dig a trench about 4 inches wide and 9 to 10 inches deep. Fill with a mixture of sand and mulch. Plant carrot seeds and water often. -- Doityourself.com The Psychology of Color Want to add a specific touch to your home just by changing colors? Here's a tip from HGTV.com: Saturated red is the warmest color -- and the most energetic. It's appropriate for the kitchen because it enhances food and makes us hungry. It's a good idea to combat the intensity of red with some green -- plants, perhaps, or wall art. GateHouse News Service

But coach Ewen McKenzie insists there is a completely different vibe as his team strives to end a drought and keep the Bledisloe series alive this weekend.
McKenzie has brought Australia's squad over a day later and booked it into a different hotel - not the Crowne Plaza where they have stayed since the early 1990s.
"It doesn't feel like deja vu which it has been for 20 years," he said at the Pullman Hotel.
"This has been a terrific environment coming in here.
"It just feels like a completely different visit to Auckland. We don't want to be going to Eden Park feeling like it's deja vu, do we?"
It may only be a change of digs but McKenzie is a master at thinking outside the square to challenge his team's mindset, and lift their confidence.
"When you play a lot of football the mental part of the game is significant," he said.
"Everything that goes on during the week is relevant.
"It doesn't matter whether it's mind-games in the newspaper, it's all relevant."
Those mind-games have also got a working over with rival coach Steve Hansen rolling a grenade into the Australian camp by saying the All Blacks can improve "10 or 12 notches" from last week's 12-12 draw, while doubting how much more the Wallabies could lift.
McKenzie said the unchanged Wallabies just needed to get their basics right - fundamentals like drawing a man properly like Nathan Charles and Israel Folau failed to do when given try-scoring opportunities - to play better.
"We know we can improve a lot on last week so we've been focussing on that," he said. "We know what we are capable of and we know we were off the pace at key moments.
"We expect to do better this week.
"We want (New Zealand) to bring their A-game because we are going to bring ours."
Helping matters is forecast sunshine at the All Blacks spiritual home, lifting hopes of a classic Test match spectacle following the dour, tryless draw in the Sydney wet.
Australia tried its best to play running rugby in the difficult conditions and will again attack the All Blacks with the ball in hand.
After kicking away most of their limited possession last week, the hosts also want to do the same, with speedster Cory Jane especially hoping to test makeshift wingers Rob Horne and Pat McCabe.
"We didn't take too much out of last week because it was a horrible game but this week we will see how good the two teams are," Jane said.
"I would love to get some ball."

Not really a wake, but in Melbourne (Aus), the MS Summer Cycle is on Feb 24. This ride is to help raise $200,000 towards Multiple Sclerosis research.
If you would like to donate or ride, Team Captain Bike has been created to help in one small way, to honour Sheldons memory.
PS: If anyone can help find little eagle figurines for team helmets I'd like to hear from you!

Kent Peterson also adds:
A couple of thoughts. We are doing this in Seattle. This year April 1st
is a Tuesday. Folks will gather at the Seattle Bikestation at 6:00 PM
and then do a celebratory ride down to Bike Works in Columbia City. Bike
Works will be having one of their regular work parties that evening
where folks work on refurbing and repairing bikes for low income kids.
I've been looking around for a source of eagles for helmets. As near as
I can tell, these guys:
have the same model eagle that graced Sheldon's helmet.
And while I appreciate the sentiments of those who wish to honor
Sheldon's memory by doing an MS ride, I'm not sure that is the tribute
Sheldon would have wished. See his writing here:
I'm looking forward to seeing hundreds of cyclists around the globe
riding in celebration of Sheldon's life and work.

The Website Editors main content.
We are preparing to reopen! See updates to ticketing and health and safety measures.
Dr. Martin Shugar and Andy Secher are both Field Associates in the Division of Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History.
Andy Secher likes to joke that he has the largest trilobite collection on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. That may not sound very impressive until you consider that the American Museum of Natural History happens to reside less than half a mile from Secher's penthouse apartment. It is within that abode, mixed amid the dozens of platinum album awards and autographed guitars that characterize his "day job" within the music industry that Secher has comprised one of the most impressive and extensive trilobite collections in the world-- with over 4,000 specimens (ranging from Lower Cambrian to Upper Permian) prominently displayed on glass shelving units of various sizes, shapes and strengths. Trilobites have been Secher's passion throughout his life. He can recall being given an Elrathia kingi specimen from Utah - the most common trilobite on earth - when he was six years old... and he insists he still has it somewhere amid his dizzying displays. Secher has expanded his fascination with trilobites by traveling around the world to meet with fellow collectors, visit museum exhibits and take part in a variety of exotic digs. He has also written extensively about his trilobite-related travels.
Martin A. Shugar, M.D., F.A.C.S., an amateur paleontologist, was director of the Florida Institute of Paleontology at the Graves Museum of Archaeology and Natural History. He was the organizing chairman of the Florida Symposium on Dinosaur - Bird Evolution held in 2000 to discuss the origin of birds, feathers and flight and to allow scientists to examine a remarkable new specimen from Montana, Bambiraptor feinbergi, for the first time. Dr. Shugar was instrumental in securing the holotype and adult bones of Bambiraptor for science. These fossils, along with the Shugar - Smith Florida Fossil Shell Collection (comprising some 200,000 specimens) now reside in the American Museum of Natural History. Dr. Shugar began collecting trilobites at age 14 and now has an extensive collection featuring U.K. specimens, including one of the largest collections of Dudley (Silurian) trilobites outside of Europe.
The Website Editors wish to thank James Cook, for his invaluable assistance in the identification of specimens.

Toronto-based (Canada) company, InteraXon has just presented a portable brainwave controller at the ParisLeWeb 2012 meeting according to a Dec. 5, 2012 article by Nancy Owano for phys.org,
A Canadian company is talking about having a window, aka computer screen, into your mind. Another of the many ways to put it—they believe your computer can be so into you. And vice-versa. InteraXon, a Canadian company, is focused on making a business out of mind-control technology via a headband device, and they are planning to launch this as a $199 brainwave computer controller called Muse. The company is running an Indiegogo campaign to obtain needed funds. Muse is a Bluetooth-connected headset with four electroencephalography sensors, communicating with the person's computer via the Bluetooth connection.
Here's more about the technology from InteraXon's How It Works webpage,
Your brain generates electrical patterns that resonate outside your head, which accumulate into brainwaves detectable by an Electroencephalograph (EEG). The EEG can't read your thoughts, just your brain's overall pattern of activity, like how relaxed or alert you are. With practice you can learn to manipulate your brainwave pattern, like flexing a muscle you've never used before.
InteraXon's interface works by turning brainwaves into binary (ones and zeros). We're like interpreters fluent in the language of the mind: our system analyses the frequency of your brainwaves and then translates them into a control signal for the computer to understand.
Just like a button or switch can activate whatever it's connected to, your translated brainwaves can now control anything electric. InteraXon designers and engineers make the experience so seamless, the connected technology seems like an extension of your own body.
It would be nice to have found a little more technical detail.
InteraXon is currently featuring its work at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver (Canada) as an example of past work,
When visitors arrive at Bright Ideas, InteraXon's thought-controlled computing experience custom designed and built for the 2010 Olympics, they are lead to their own pod. In front of each pod is a large projection screen as well as a small training screen. Once seated, a trained host hands them a headset that will measure their brain's electrical signals.
With help from the host, the participants learn to deliberately alter their brainwaves. By focusing or relaxing their mind, they learn to change the display on their training screen; music and seat vibrations provide immediate feedback to speed the learning process to five minutes or less. Now they are ready for the main event.
Thoughts are turned into light patterns instantaneously as their brain's digital signal is beamed over the Rocky Mountains, across vast prairies all the way to three major Ontario icons – a distance of 3000 km.
This project – a first at this grand scale – allows each participant to experience a very personal connection with these massive Ontario landmarks, and with every Canadian watching the lightshow, whether online, or in-person.
As for Muse, InteraXon's latest project, the company has a campaign on Indiegogo to raise money. Here's the video on the campaign website,
They seem very excited about it all, don't they? The question that arises is whether or not you actually need a device to let you know when you're concentrating or when your thoughts are wandering. Apparently, the answer is yes. The campaign has raised over $240,000 (they asked for $150,000) and it's open until Dec. 7, 2012. If you go today, you will find that in addition to the other pledge inducements there's a special ParisLeWeb $149 pledge for one day only (Dec. 5, 2012). Here's where you go.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Spark radio programme featured an interview (either in Nov. or Dec. 2012) with Ariel Garten, Chief Executive Office of InteraXon discussing her company's work. You can find podcast no. 197 here (it is approximately 55 mins. and there are other interviews bundled with Garten's). Thanks to Richard Boyer for the tip about the Spark interview.
I have mentioned brain-computer interfaces previously. There's the Brain-controlled robotic arm means drinking coffee by yourself for the first time in 15 years May 17, 2012 posting and the Advertising for the 21st Century: B-Reel, 'storytelling', and mind control Oct. 6, 2011 posting amongst others.

Diablo 3 PvP Arena Hands-on Preview
Only three of the five classes were playable in PvP, but they were sufficiently powered-up with numerous skills. I tried all three and while I think I had the most success with the Wizard, the Barbarian and Witch Doctor both had effective abilities and combat roles.
If Blizzard can balance this PvP, I could see it easily becoming an eSport. The matches are extremely intense and require tight coordination to succeed. It quickly led to taunting and cheering as we all figured out the game. The arena was square-shaped and full of pillars and barriers for cover. In the middle of the round, four health orbs will spawn in the center providing the only healing available to players.
There is some crowd control, but each class has an ability--with a long cooldown--that will break any roots, snares, and other effects. Additionally, each class has an ability that helps them move quickly around the map be it teleporting or sprinting. The spells at my team's dispel worked well together and we could easily kill opponents if we caught them unaware in a stun.
That isn't to say that a single player cannot defeat multiple opponents with careful skill use. Faced with a one-versus-three situation—I was the one—I used the Wizard's spells to defeat all three opponents. I would teleport around the map, breaking crowd control with my damage shield, and whittling down my opponents by placing magic-shooting hydras and landing lucky meteors. I also used my slowing field to slow down advancing enemies to give my meteors time to fall. Finally, the Wizard gets a focused beam attack that gets stronger over time. We immediately started calling it the "Void Ray" attack.
It sort of felt like World of Warcraft mixed with something like Guild Wars, albeit played in the classic Diablo isomeric perspective. I'm not sure how gear will factor into the arena as it makes balancing extremely difficult, but we were not able to customize our gear at the show.
Though there was no limit to the amount of rounds we played, it is likely that matches will be conducted in standard best X out of Y formats. Blizzard will offer matchmaking, rankings, and ladders for Arena PvP.
If you have any additional questions about Arena PvP or the spells of the Barbarian and Witch Doctor, please let me know in the comments.
