Apple Inc. is the leader in the Tablet world. This has not been a tough call as the amazing intrinsic features of the products from Apple Inc. make it different from others. Moreover, the quality keeps getting better and better. Apple has promised to bring out the NVIDIA Tegra 3 in its next venture and precisely with Apple iPad 2012 it has presented the much awaited 3rd Generation of Tablets. Apple A5X is primarily installed as a powerful quad-core processor. This not only brings the latest graphics consortium for you but also manages to capture the looks and style of the latest gadget world.
Third Generation of Tablets is not only a platform for the next level but a whole world of upgraded entities. Replacing iPad 2 with a great salute, Apple iPad 2012 legitimizes the need and completes the trilogy. Taking it from the scratch, let's begin with the design structure. Weighing 1.43 pounds and measuring 0.38 inches in thickness, Apple iPad 2012 is slightly heavier and thicker than its predecessor. Nonetheless, it feels and operates in a comfortable manner in your hands. There is a very famous saying about Apple products that people know when you are carrying the Apple with you. This is because of the design and prime accolades of Apple Inc. that has created a vast distinction. Available in Black and White matte, Apple iPad 2012 contains a larger battery life and size inside. Moving forward to the next department, the display of Apple iPad 2012 has been never seen before. Retina technology supports the display power and gives a great 2048 x 1536 pixels of display on a soothing 9.8 inches screen. Beating the High Definition viewing is definitely an easy task and Apple iPad 2012 does it with style. Icons seem to float on the screen and the amazing User Interface captures your interest instantly. Almost all the Android Tablets in the market are available under this resolution and no where close to this resolution. With an emphasized 46% of better color saturation, Apple iPad 2012 even makes the pores on the face look clearer and sharper.
Third Generation brings the new dimension as well as the new audio feel in Apple iPad 2012. Releasing latest on July 20, 2012, it is compatible with 4G (LTE). The bottom left side of Apple iPad 2012 contains the speakers which provide a great support to the amazing display feature of Apple iPad 2012. This device uses the same interface i.e. iOS 5.1 with a software upgrade. Previous version i.e. iPad 2 has a compliant that photos uploaded via iCloud were not getting deleted. This is now possible with Apple iPad 2012. Voice recognition with distinctive "Voice Dictation" has made it even better. The virtual keyboard "Siri" has been supporting the domicile with awe. Web pages on Safari Web Browser make it a smooth and the amazing apps like GLB 2.1.2 makes it larger than life. NVIDIA Tegra 3 has been seen before recently in ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime but Apple iPad 2012 is not far away with the 3rd Gen compatibility. Overall, Apple iPad 2012 brings a whole new life to the tablet world and opens the door for Third Generation Tablets.

Headed to London for Notting Hill Carnival this weekend? You'll find no shortage of entertainment to choose from, that's for sure. Every year, Time Out London puts together a super-comprehensive guide to the parade and attendant festivities, and this time they've produced a handy carnival map with the locations of 37 participating sound systems, as well as nearby Tube stops and party-hosting pubs:
Words by Jesse Serwer—
On Monday, we brought you the world premiere of the (as far as we know) very first CG-animated official dancehall video in Orange Hill Productions' "Pon Time" with Vybz Kartel, or as we've been describing the clip to everybody, "Werl' Boss in CGI!" If you've been following Orange Hill's Electro Bashy movement, you may know there's also a version of "Pon Time" featuring UK MC Sneakbo. The remix video splices footage of a CG Sneakbo spitting his verses in a dark room with those of CG Kartel and his lady friend from the original clip. Watch it below:
Words by Jesse Serwer—
We always sensed something supernatural about Vybz Kartel. His uncanny ability to stay on trend, his increasingly duppy-like appearance—sum'n. And this might be the surest proof yet, as he continues to innovate even from behind bars with the debut of Werl' Boss in CGI!

Words by Ras Kwame—
Ras Kwame is a legend in Britain's black music scene, one of the original DJs for BBC1Xtra and a pioneer when it comes to the blending of reggae and dancehall with garage and other U.K. dance sounds. These days he can be found pioneering the new sound called Electro Bashy, as one half of Orange Hill Productions. Look out for our interview with Kwame and his partner in crime Jnr. Tubby on LargeUp tomorrow.

It wasn't until I found this photo I noticed the markings of the homunculi. Where they are marked are there points of weakness, A quick reference for their father to subdue them and handle them as he pleases, while the ouroboros seal is directly addressing the homunculus, not the vessel. My theory is to stab them through their marks is only to subdue them but to stab them through the seal as well I've only seen happen when the homunculus was killed by either another homunculus or Father.The most defiant repeat offender has the most take down points.

Pudding Monsters offers a fun and quirky twist on the age-old concept of puzzle games, but until it gets more levels, opt for the free version.
Pricing not available
Pudding Monsters slip, slide, and sludge their way through the playing field to combine forces and fend off raging appetites.
The developers of one of the top mobile games announced a new casual game in which people combine wobbly puddings to take on an evil dessert-eating man.
The start-up, launching at DemoFall '07, will analyze phone conversations in order to provide contextual ads.
Can Microsoft distinguish itself in the tablet market? It seems to be off to a good start, but proof is in the pudding.
It's the Brian Tong show, with co-hosts Bonnie Cha, Donald Bell, the new iPod Shuffle, and a chocolate pudding pie.
Without constant stirring, gravy, pudding, and other tasty treats can turn into lumpy messes. With Stirr, the hands-free whisk, though, you can turn your back with no worries.
Microsoft has released its highly anticipated Office suite for iPad, a freemium app that lets everyone view documents but grants Office 365 subscribers full editing capabilities.
A small clip-on accessory aims to add a bit of smartness to a regular watch. But how smart, exactly?
Having indexed maps for every street in the country just isn't enough these days, and ViaMichelin's new X-950 sat-nav system will even tell you what's for pudding at the nearest three-star restaurant

(LAS VEGAS, NV) -- Meditation and prayer can help a 1,500-year-old monastery only so much when it is in dire need of a face lift. The Shaolin have come up with a more worldly solution.
They packed up 20 Buddhist monks skilled in martial arts from their secluded monastery in the mountains of central China and headed for Sin City.
The monks didn't count on winning any jackpots - the monks, after all, don't gamble - but they did bet that a show featuring sword fights and walking on knives would sell in Las Vegas.
After all, everything else does.
"Las Vegas is not just a city of gambling," said Jian Wang, the monks' manager and interpreter. "It's a city of entertainment."
For this month's two-week run at the MGM Grand hotel-casino, the monks perform kung fu in unison, walk on knives, break granite with their hands and snap iron bars over their heads.
The Shaolin monks follow a strict and chaste routine of meditation, prayer and martial arts training. There are no televisions and no drinking and gambling.
So why come to the city of excess, where alcohol, gambling and strippers are everywhere?
Wang said the visit will not only help their monastery financially, but also serve as a cultural exchange. The Shaolin monks are considered the jewels of China, and the Chinese government gave its blessing to allow them to travel to Las Vegas, Wang said.
"As a monk, you take every corner of the world as your home," he said.
Las Vegas has not only been an eye-opener for the monks. The monks, who always wear robes, usually orange, have gotten more than a few stares as they walk through the casino.
They recently toured Hoover Dam, ventured out on the Strip and even rode a roller coaster.
And what about an urge to slip a quarter in that nearby slot machine?
Doesn't happen, the monks say.
"It's no problem," said monk Shi Yan-Wen.

Found May 22, 2013 on Hall of Very Good:
PLAYERS: Jose Canseco
Sometimes, I lie awake at night wondering. I wonder about a simpler time with no Twitter, Facebook...nothing. Then, well, then Jose Canseco goes on social media crusade to clear his name. Wednesday, Canseco hit the Twittersphere claiming he's been accused of rape. Now, I'm not trying to make light of the situation, because, however this plays out, it's a pretty terrible ordeal for all involved. But, here are the series of tweets (that have since been deleted) that started the firestorm. After deleting the series of tweets, Canseco has since posted a picture of his alleged accuser Susie Bell, her phone number and offered to take a polygraph test on live television. This should all make for an interesting week in Fort Worth, Texas and an even more interesting episode of "Canseco Knows Best".

1311 Holman Street, Houston, TX 77004, 713-529-3589
On July 1, 1851, a group led by
the Rev. Caspar Messon Braun (1822-1880) founded the Erste Deutsche
Evangelische Lutherische Kirche, or First German Evangelical Lutheran
Church. The State of Texas issued the church's charter on September 21
of that year. First Lutheran was the first Lutheran congregation in
Houston and the second Lutheran congregation in Texas. First Lutheran
is responsible for the establishment of no less than 8 daughter
congregations in Harris county.
In November, 1851, just 2 months after its
founding, six missionaries from St. Chrischona of Basel, Switzerland
arrived in Texas. Along with the Rev. Braun, they established the
First Evangelical Lutheran Synod in Texas, often called the Texas
Synod. The purpose of the synod was to gather the many Lutherans in
Texas that were without congregations and a churchly structure. The
confession of the synod included subscription to the Lutheran
Confessions, adopting unaltered symbolical books as found in the
Book of Concord, 1580, accepting the Unaltered Small Catechism, and
selecting the German Hymn book of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
the United States.
The first church building was erected on the
southeast corner of Texas Avenue at Milam Street. In 1901, under the
Rev. William L. Blasberg (1862-1935), the congregation moved to the
northwest corner of Texas Avenue at Caroline Street, to a new red
brick and sandstone edifice built in the Gothic tradition. After
selling the second structure in 1926, the First Evangelical Church,
as it became known, purchased the current site on Holman Street.
Under the leadership of the Rev. Detlev Baltzer (1889-1962), the
congregation hired architect Joseph W. Northrop, Jr., who had moved
to Houston to oversee construction of the original Rice Institute,
now Rice University. James West was general contractor for the new
church campus, and J. C. Nolan and the Star Electric and Engineering
Company held sub-contracts.
Northrop's Italian Romanesque styling
features terra cotta roof tiles on the nave, education building and
parsonage, as well as a campanile, or bell tower. The buildings were
constructed of interlocking concrete tiles covered with buff-face
brick and white sandstone trim. The campanile's bell, forged in
1880, has rung at each of the congregation's places of worship. The
tower connects the nave to the seven-bay arched portals of the
education building, which houses classrooms, offices, auditoriums
and a stage. The nave's details include pulpit and altar made by
master woodcarvers from Oberammergau, Germany. Pews and chancel
furnishings, designed by Northrop, are by the American Seating
Company. The north gallery of the nave housed a 1903 Kilgen and Son
pipe organ. The Kilgen organ was destroyed in our October 2011 fire
and will be replaced with a 14-stop organ designed and built by Pasi
Organ Builders, Inc. of Roy, Washington. The installation of the
Pasi organ is expected in the Fall of 2013. First Evangelical
Lutheran Church was recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark in 2002.
First Lutheran's history since 2002 is as
interesting as its founding. Through the 20th century, First
Lutheran had moved through several different denominations. In early
2002, a Houston lawyer and civic leader discovered that First
Church, the first Lutheran congregation in Houston was technically
no longer "Lutheran". Virtually no Lutherans in Houston except those
who had attended First Lutheran, knew that the "First Church" was
still in existence. At that time the formerly thriving congregation
had dwindled in size and worship attendance was paltry. The church
faced the real possibility of having to close its doors.
Based upon extensive research, congregational
forums, consultation with ELCA synodical representatives, and
conversations with the pastor and congregational council, First
Evangelical Lutheran Church voted to join the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America, thereby reclaiming its Lutheran identity. In
2006, the Rev. Edwin D. Peterman, a distinguished Lutheran pastor
and well-known teaching theologian, began to serve as Interim
Pastor. Through the Holy Spirit, the congregation began to grow to
viability again, and called a full-time pastor in December 2009 to
help the congregation continue the work of the church into the 21st
century. On October 9, 2010, one day before the fire, First Church
joined the North American Lutheran Church.
The addition of Pastor Evan McClanahan in
December, 2009, signaled the congregation's intent to become a
significant presence and voice for Lutheranism in the community. As
the Midtown neighborhood in Houston experiences a renaissance, so
too does First Lutheran. It is expanding its outreach into the
community, adding Sunday Church School and activities for children,
becoming known for its excellent worship and music, and adding
avenues for young adults to come to faith.

Life in 140 Square Feet
Natural Home
Gregory Paul Johnson lives in a tiny, off-the-grid house. But, instead of telling us about the environmental benefits (and there are plenty), he's focused on how moving into a 140-sq-foot house has improved his happiness and health.
In an excerpt from his book, Put Your Life on a Diet: Lessons Learned from Living in 140 Square Feet, Johnson explains that he built the home after being inspired by Jay Shafer. In three months, he completed his home, sold his car, and completely changed his life.
He felt happier, he slept more, he found that he had more time for his hobbies and interests, he began saving money, and he lost 100 pounds. The story is pretty inspiring. And makes an interesting, almost non-environmental case for living small.
But we're still not sure we could do 140 sq-feet, especially with someone else (Johnson has a fiance). Could you?

I would imagine that anyone who was being waited on and served in their own house would be happy, no matter the size. This photograph is horrifying, can't the guy make/ get his own breakfast?
merm, I really, really hope you are kidding. By saying this you are making the assumption that:
a) hes a lazy womanizer
b) she will do whatever she is told
Can't someone make breakfast for someone else?! Or would you be happier if he was serving her breakfast? Sorry, but you comment is very sexist. Now I have to make the assumption that a:
a) you are single
- i kid, i kid
Hmm...I'm not sure of the exact square footage of my current 2 bedroom apartment, but I remember the year my husband and I spent in a junior 1 bedroom (which was closer to the size of the average studio). The size of that apartment really worked our nerves. It was horrible. I was so excited to move out and have some space. The reality is that people live in small spaces all the time without going through radically awesome transformations.
I have a theory about why these tiny houses make people's lives better:
1. They have convinced themselves that the small space will make them happy, and so it does. It's a classic example of the self-fulfilling prophecy.
2. They have made a commitment to change their lives for the better through living in a small space. The commitment is a public one, and so they feel pressure from their peers to make it stick.
3. The small house comes to represent a goal for them, whether it be simplicity of life or living green, and living in it becomes a constant reminder of those goals.
Sorry, that last sentence should read "a constant reminder of their achievement of the goal." It's obviously my bedtime!
Got to say I had the same reaction as Marm to the photo-I'm not single either ben, not that it matters. I'm sure it's just this particular photo as I know nothing about the guy but it does a servile look.
I'm very interested in this and am going to click on the link to his book in a second. I'm pretty sure I could not do it (certainly not with my two small children), but I think I could definitely live somewhere pretty small. What I'm most interested in is the life-simplifying aspect of this.
I do have to say that I also had a negative gut reaction to the photo. And I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with a woman cooking for her significant other, and even nothing wrong with one of the two members of the family being the primary cook, homemaker, etc. Still...this particular photo is pretty unfortunate, I think. It conjures up multiple stereotypes I will not go into right now.
I don't mind the photo or the negative (perhaps even sexist) conotations as much as I care that there is no other photo showing the exterior or even if the table folds down, etc. It seems little more than a plug for Johnson's eco-esque self-improvement book. That being said, NO, I could not live in less than 150 ft. 500 ft. is completely doable but I think outdoor living has to be at a maximum. The interior becomes little more than a place to sleep at night out of the weather. I don't think Johnson nor anyone else in tiny houses actually "live" in the house, so to speak. They sleep there, eat there a little and perhaps do some reading there. But the living is on the exterior, methinks.
very well put msbetsy
I think I would enjoy living in a tiny space like this, but I am not sure my cat Charlotte could handle it.
oh, I KNOW Puella..haha I felt terrible..but you felt the same way...I am sure just an unfortunate picture choice..ha..that's all..
Oh the joys of small living. my husband and I live in our camper, which is about 150 sq. ft., and as another poster mentioned: much of our "living" goes on outside! At least in the nicer seasons. The winter can be pretty rough; we live in PA. This is a temp situation for us, as we try to build our home. I can not imagine doing this as a permanent situation; one of us would crack!
Living in a tiny space (my RV has about 200 square feet) gives me time to do other things simply because 200 square feet takes less time to maintain and upkeep than does 900 square feet.
I still have the home layout of my dreams--big bright study with lots of windows, loft bed, dressing room, crafting area--only on a much reduced scale that has forced me to focus on the few things that make me happy than the many things that just make me content.
While I do some of my living outside of my home, I spend the bulk of my time inside. I'm a homebody and my record is ten days without stepping foot outside other than to go for a walk every day.
I've been living in my RV over a year now and have never felt claustrophobic in it, probably because I have room in it to do the things I want to do.
Maybe the picture bugs people because she is his girlfriend, i.e. a guest, yet she is the one doing the serving.
When I was looking for my first apartment and inclined to cheap out, my dad's advice was to find a place I liked enough that I could imagine contentedly spending an entire weekend (or an entire bout with the flu) without leaving. Not totally about square footage, but somewhat.
The guy indicates that he was trying to replicate a room that he had been renting. Which implies that he didn't have to divest himself of a lot of stuff he already had. As someone trying to downsize, I believe it's much harder to let go than to not acquire in the first place.
I currently live in 165 sq ft. and my fiance comes over often and spends weekends here. Its not so bad at all especially if you put everything in its place, the ONLY down side is, when you want to storm out, theres no where to go!
i'm just gonna go for it: i think the reason the picture is offending people and looks *so* servile is the white man / dark woman image. esp since she is wearing what looks like a "traditional" looking blouse and her skirt looks like an apron. It ends up looking like "i bought myself a lil mexican cook / cleaner / pootang"
i'm not commenting on what their relationship is, but that picture definitely has some strong visual symbols that resonate with the ideas people some people have of why white men marry outside their race.
They seem so much in love.
I generally think the tiny-house movement is very sweet but very self indulgent at the same time.
It's very easy if you don't have kids, or a don't have job that requires lots of dress clothing, or if you live near a relative's/friend's house with access to laundry machines and storage, if you have enough money that you never have to keep any old stuff like old machinary parts of old parts of clothes just "in case" something breaks or tears or needs to be handed down.
If you're a writer? talk about perfect. Get a kindle to hold your library and a laptop to hold your creativity, and you're set.
A a blacksmith/flameworker who loves gardening and a million other home crafts and cooking huge meals for friends, I just look at this and shake my head. Couldn't be done.
Unless I had a barn was a normal sized barn, I suppose.
I have lived in a 120 square foot space with a boyfriend, a dog and a cat, for two years. It was too small for us, but it was fine for about six months. Both of us do a lot of projects that require hoarding salvaged materials and art supplies, musical instruments, etc. We were living there while trying to build a bigger space, which is not finished yet but will be 750 square feet with a separate 250 square foot workshop. That will be perfect. We are self employed and need that much space.
Like Kaete said, it really depends on what you do for a living or for your outside activities. If we had both been writers, we could get by with maybe 350 square feet total.
But, we did used to live in 1,500 square feet, and that was too big. Downsizing to what you really need just simplifies your life. No couple needs a dining table and another kitchen table to eat at, for example, or two living rooms/dens.
Also, I think that designing your own home, laying it out to be the most useful to your needs, automatically lets you live in a much smaller space than moving into a space designed before you got there, unless it's really well designed and happens to fit your needs.
I love the idea...just not for me. It is romantic to be able to live with a minimum footprint but as many as pointed out, it depends on your lifestyle if 140 sq feet would work for you.
Just an aside --
I have read his book and I've got to say I loved it. He made a big point that his really small home isn't for everyone and he would definitely consider a bigger one if he had a wife and/or kids. Not at all preachy with an incredibly useful "this is what I did -- do what works for you" vibe.
About the photo -- I think we should cut them a little slack because there probably isn't enough room for the typical loving-couple-surveys-their-chic-domain type photo.
Comment for msbetsy...
I think sometimes a smaller space can make you happier... Maybe it is not about square footage, but how well organized the space is...
Smaller space is easier to clean and maintain, if you don't have too much stuff...
And maybe it is not about the space really - but organization... My previous apartment was half the size of my current one, but super well organized. Every detail was well thought out. My new place is a vintage old building where everything is spacious, but poorly organized. Even though I have twice as much space now, it doesn't really feel like it...
They live on his father's property. They're free to use the bathroom and kitchen in his father's house.
These tiny homes are difficult to zone, finance, insure and sell.
Most designs have lofts, which may be impractical with age or injury. They also waste a lot of space with cupboards, shelving, desks and tables.

Red Hat emulates Fedora Linux project with RDO OpenStack community
OpenStack is sometimes called the Linux for clouds, and Red Hat, the dominant Linux distributor, seems to be all over that. The firm is now working to bring its Red Hat OpenStack distribution into the ever-crowding field of companies that want to peddle supported distributions of this cloud control freak. Red Hat Open Stack, or …
The RDO community, which is parked at http://openstack.redhat.com
Reality Distortion Override
Oh sorry, wrong company. Time for a beer (it is well time where I am at the moment)
Bye vCenter / vCloud Director...
With Microsoft basically giving away Hyper-V + enough tools to manage basic deployments without System Center, and all the traditional Linux users/vendors (Red Hat, IBM, etc.) moving towards OpenStack, VMWare is going to have to change their model a bit. I guess it was only a matter of time -- I've said in the past that all the OpenStack guys needed was a big vendor to herd the cats and a decent front end to everything that doesn't require a specialized staff just to maintain.
That's exactly what Red Hat did for Linux -- set a sane enterprise release schedule, cut back the thousands of choices open source gives you to a manageable number, put up a sane and nice enough front end for all the OSS stuff under the hood, and provide decent support.
I definitely see OpenStack gaining ground in medium sized installations where Windows isn't necessarily the technology of choice and the pockets aren't deep enough to buy VMWare, or worse, VCE vBlock stuff.
sorry -- busy getting this set up on a set of retired hardware for testing
I have SOOO been waiting for this ....

Microsoft used to have almost 100% of the PC operating system market, and they could put the price they wanted, because there was no competition.
Now, Microsoft is celebrating 80% market share in the fastest growing segment, but they can't sell XP for more than $30, because manufacturers are trying to keep the prices low.
20% is a huge victory for Linux and Open Souce Software, and this year we can expect more, with Intel's Moblin, HP's MIE, and Google's Android.
I don't see how a low priced crippled version of Windows 7 can help Microsoft to increase their margins and market share.
Yo scrub, Windows 7 Starter isn't being sold in the US, emerging markets only.
Sorry to ruin your article.
Microsoft is too greedy to learn from past mistakes. They assume consumers are not computer savy so they can push whatever junk they want. The biggest complaint consumers had was that they had to make expensive upgrades to make Vista usable and now they plan to use the same flawed marketing tactics for Win7.
George – Windows Vista Starter isn't sold in the US, but Windows 7 Starter will be sold in the US.
Nick, Windows 7 Starter and Basic Edition will be sold only in Emerging Markets. For developed markets, Microsoft has Windows Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate (For retail)
After all, it looks like you're right about the Starter Edition. They pulled Basic Edition from the developed countries and they are releasing Starter Edition. Basic Edition will be available only in emerging markets.
Linux also occupies a large portion of the netbook market. In fact, that's what mostly contributed to Linux's doubling of market share last year. I don't think that the Linux option will suddenly disappear just because a new version of Windows is around. You can't get excited about a new Windows release, especially when it's as disappointing as Win7 (I have beta tested the software: http://gradysghost.doesntexist.com/blogman/read.php?id=16). Linux is free and is ALWAYS an alternative to Windows. It does more. Its settings are more localized and context-sensitive. It's easier to use. It runs faster, especially on lower-end hardware. Don't expect Windows to do as well as you think it is.
1) Microsoft is a large corporation, with almost 100,000 employees worldwide. They *must* have an income greater than $3 billion/year to stay profitable.
2) Unfortunatelly for them, their two best selling products — Windows and Office — face strong competition from Linux and OpenOffice, which are free.
3) As netbooks become an important part of the 100 million PCs sold this year, manufacturers will try to avoid the Microsoft tax, unless Microsoft slash their prices.
4) But Microsoft cannot afford a small price tag, if they want to stay profitable. (See item 1)
5) If Linux and OpenOffice reach 20% market share, people will see there is an option. It may not be the best option, but it is good enought.
6) More and more people will choose Free Software, and Microsoft will be pressured by reduced margins and market share.
Hope MSFT has good security for that code or else like most other software, hackers will figure out a way to unlock it for free.
have you done any research at all? go back and do some then write an article worth reading.
@bart – linux 20% market share!?!?!!?!?! are you having a laugh mate!!! OMG… that is funny…
linux only just has more market share than the iphone… a staggering 0.8%! (consumer side).
i bet MS are seriously worried about 2009 being yet another year for Linux to come along and rule the world! ha!
Yawn… Microsoft isnt worried. Apple isnt worried. Linux – open source isnt worried. Unfortunately, all the fanbois and fangals are as always spouting horse manure wherever they see fit. As for Windows? It has 90% plus market share. The remaining 10% consists of Leopard, Linux, Solaris and ???. ??? is the new operating system called Dream. Dream is being released by Fantasy in 2015 and is simply an operating system for lazy idiots who dont want to pay ie only steal software and are basically PEBCAK. Dream will be used initially by 7.5% of the earths population and after the alien subliminal mind ray spread to 75% of all PC users. Microsoft and Apple are in current business negotiations with the intergalactic corporation Fantasy for a trilateral production and distribution agreement of Dream. Windows 7 and Snow Leopard are future subliminal operating systems that are horse manure successors to Dream. Dream is classified by the DSM V …
I'll admit that Windoze 7 is pretty good at the current moment, but it can't beat what Linux can do.
I am happy MS is doing this. May be it will open the eyes and ears of the consumers to the much better alternative LINUX. It boggles the mind to see people still persists in buy PC with Windows when they can get much better computer experience by installing Linux.
Linux is free and comes with a whole long list of standard applications that consumers have to pay Microsoft for equivalent ones to run on Windows.
The phrase "A sucker is born every minute" can't be more true than when consumers keep buying their computers with Windows.
There is almost certainly a theorem engraved on the brains of all within the Redmond fortress: "A fool and his money are soon parted." There is also a corollary to that theorem: "Greed is good !" Anything, ANYTHING Microsoft does is designed to benefit Microsoft and maximise profits. All other aims are subject to those two concepts. Purchase and run Windows and you get just what you deserve……but then if you have been fed on rubbish from birth, you know no different. Rather sad really.
linux is better. more secure, faster, just better. windows is going to suck up viruses no matter what they change its name to.
I run Linux on all of my home computers. It is a much more advance operating system. Taking far fewer resources of your computer and has all of the applications you need installed by default. People will try Linux before they pay extra money to Microsoft. When they do , most will not go back to Windows. The main thing that had kept Linux in check was few computers had it pre-installed. Most people do not want to install an operating system. That problem has ended.
If I have a virus running in the background does that count as an application?
I'll stick to Ubuntu
stupid idea.
Easy Peasy (Linux), 'formerly known as' Ubuntu-eee, is intuïtive, fast (and I mean FAST) and nice to look at.
Maybe if Microsoft concentrated more on producing solid code instead of a method by which to hawk it, we'd all be better off.
Epic Fail
I have a question for Linux users.. Is Linux/Unbuntu (silly name Unbuntu) compatible with most if not all of the applications/games and other software that Windows XP can work with?
Another Microsoft attempt to screw people over, I wonder if the sales merchants will even tell people that they have a 3 application limit, until they get home and realize they just spent 500 dollars on a notebook, and now have to buy an upgrade just to run a few more applications.
Annon, Ubuntu is compatible with most applications but have some issues with games. There is a program called Wine. Look it up in google or go to winehq.com
M$ at its best
Why doesn't Microsoft just dump the excessively complex versions of their OS? Windows Vista Slightly Better than the Worse Edition You Can Buy, But Not Quite As Good As Some Of The Others, and its 20 siblings make everything more complicated for many users that just want to go to the store and buy a pc. One of the big successes with XP was the 2 original versions. Home or Pro. That was it. I understand that it allows them to sell their OS for less to people on a tight budget by selling limited version, but most people are just confused by them and feel like they're getting screwed. I feel extreme pity for the people who handle Vista tech support that are forced to ask, "What version are you running?"
Windows 7 Starter Edition for netbooks: you can run three apps. Make one of those apps Firefox running your office app, mail app and chat app on Google.
Are Microsoft shooting themselves in the foot?
If I thought Microsoft was good at joined-up thinking (Apple style), I'd think they were planning to put something like this out themselves and cannibalise their own market instead of letting Google cannibalise it for them. But they're not good at that sort of joined-up thinking. I suspect they'll make a half-a*sed effort to do something like that.
Imagine … a usable Windows 7 Starter Edition, because one of the apps is an app platform.
Limiting any user to 3 programs for any reason is just plain ol' BS! Here is another M$ scam to force users to pay more money for products and services they don't need. Good job M$, great way to screw your customers over even more!
Personally, I switched to mac and even though I've been on a PC for over 15 years, I've never been happier with my Mac.
Gross. Brad Brooks you suck.
Can Windows 7 run under 512Mb RAM?
I have just made an experience in my MacBook:
I downloaded a disk image from XUbuntu (a lightweight version of Ubuntu) and installed it in a virtual machine with 512Mb RAM.
The installation was easy, and in a few minutes I was playing with this simple and good-looking desktop. It looks like a modern operating system, without the bells and whistles.
I opened Firefox (browser), Thunderbird (email client), Abiword (word processor) and Gnumeric (spreadsheet), and the system continued to run fine.
That was strange, since I was using only 512Mb of RAM in a virtual machine.
Then I opened the system monitor to verify memory usage. XUbuntu and all the opened applications were using, together, 200Mb of RAM.
That's impressive!
For sure, XUbuntu doesn't have all the features of Windows 7 or Mac OS X, but I wouldn't mind to use it as my netbook operating system.
Now, don't take my word for granted. Download a disk image and experiment XUbuntu in a virtual machine with 512Mb RAM:
"More and more people will choose Free Software, and Microsoft will be pressured by reduced margins and market share."
Haven't people been saying this for the past 20 years?
there is a lot of peaple out there that are not tech savy that will prob buy win 7 starter on a netbook and will prob be mad when thay find out they cant run no more then three apps at a time and wont know how to do the upgrade
I think that Microsoft should focus more on making an operating system that actually works, instead of trying to nickle and dime consumers. BTW netbooks will steal significant market share from more expensive PC's.
I guess Microsoft tries to enter as much market niches as possible. That is why they developed several versions of the same product. Unfortunately, many don't see much different among those. I can see only two major versions for current Vista: Home Premium and Business. Other versions don't have much value, at least for me. Anyway, although Vista has a number of considerable problems, it has certain important advantages over XP including much better support for multitasking and greatly improved stability (based on my experience). Hopefully, Win7 will have the same ease of use as XP and won't have major compatibility issues.
As for the Linux, it is a great OS, much more stable and using less resources. Unfortunately, it is no good for a lot of people because the majority of software that we all use runs mainly on Windows platform. And the most important app is the Microsoft Office. It is true that Open Office is very good for a product that is free. However, it has considerable limitations compared to the MS Office including the user interface, advanced functionality and programmability (Visual Basic). Many think that users will prefer a free product over a paid one. However, this is true only when these products provide comparable value. In case of Open Office it doesn't, especially for the advanced users who those Excel extensively. Just think how much costs one Office license for a company. Suppose, your company buys Office for $500 and will use it for about 4-5 years at least. Yearly costs are then $100 per license, and monthly would be around $8.5. That is a company will spend around $8-9 per person to get the entire Office suite. Do you believe this is a major cost for a company that spends several thousands a month to pay salary to the same person? I don't think so. That is why there is no reason for the vast majority of the firms to switch to other office suite including Open and Symphony. Only installation and training costs would be so high that they would outweigh any savings that these companies would get. So, until something really good comes out that beats MS Office on all fronts, few will switch to other apps.
However, all of us can see the problem with Microsoft: products they develop become too complex, slow, expensive and so on. Vista and Office 2007 are good examples. The only thing that can help is strong competition. So far Linux and Apple are doing pretty good job. Let's see what's going to happen next.
After so many years of projecting an image of awesomeness, Microsoft is finally beginning to look like what it really is, a gouging geek, always trying to trick you into paying more for less. Vista was really a case of less, full of errors that were never fixed, and so unreasonably frustrating when it came to reinstalling it after a system crash that it produces permanent Gates-aversion, for instance, the infamous message, "Start the upgrade from within Windows", when Windows has become completely unbootable–or what was even worse, the repair upgrade that fails, followed by the rollback that fails. Sit there and weep as your files disappear forever because you cannot even access the damaged partition. There is no doubt in my mind that the department that concocts ways to protect poor little Microsoft from cheaters is given free rein to frustrate and destroy innocent geeks who are valiantly trying to save someone's virus-annihilated computer, all in the process of assuring that Microsoft can create another couple of billionaires each year on its executive team. Myself, I would settle for millionaires, but no, it must be billionaires. NOW we must pay for Windows Vista again, only this time it works right and has been renamed to Windows 7. Microsoft's strategy was deep-laid and wondrously subtle: don't fix Vista at all, leave it so that it still can't even remember a window setting for more than 5 minutes, put all the fixes in Windows 7, and then bamboozle everyone into paying a second time for the operating system. Obviously Microsoft is going to try to restore any little dip in profits they may have recently experienced, and the computer-addicted public is the plump turkey gobbling mindlessly away out in the field which is about to be plucked. Go ahead Bill, intensify and persist in this absurdly complex system of multiple versions, go-no-go upgrade paths, cheap crippleware and shockingly overpriced unnecessaryware until the public finally says this really stinks and starts wondering whether Apple really does offer substance over style, with a few dollars off instead of many dollars over.
Ha, what a money grab. Microsoft still won't be able to compete with equivalent FREE Operating Systems like Ubuntu in the long term.
Did I read that correctly … "We want Windows to run on those experiences"?
I can just hear the jokes now:
What color is the cover of a Netbook? "Blue [Screen of Death], of course."
What cry have you never heard until Windows-powered Netbooks? "My encycolpedia just crashed!"
Can you read more than one novel on a Netbook? "Yes, but you have to reboot to read the next book."
What's the most popular Netbook title? "The Netbook Newbie's Guide to Linux."
How do you start a Netbook? "Just press START."
How do you stop a Netbook? "Just press START."
How often do you have to apply security updates or virus-scan a real book? "Never, why would that even be a question?"
How often do you have to to apply security updates or virus-scan a NetBook? "Incessantly".
How do you destroy a real book? "Burn it."
How do you destroy a NetBook? "Drop it once, or walk across a carpet before touching it [ZOT!] ."
Just kidding of course.
If Microsoft actually believes that a crippled, 3 application limited Windows 7 version is better than Linux then they will be doomed because of their arrogance. For netbooks and other "low" powered machines the OS is irrelevent to most users. Internet access and the core Internet applications – a browser, an email client, a chat client, a music player, and perhaps a torrent client – are all that's needed. I have added Internet access stations using older low end machines and Ubuntu to a school library that primarily had Windows machines and guess what happened. Not a single complaint. The kids were already familiar with FireFox and quickly figured out the other apps.
While Windows 7 Starter edition CAN be used in Netbooks, you forgot to mention 3 important points: 1. Starter Editions of Windows have existed since XP. They are nothing Microsoft hasn't done before. 2. Microsoft says you can run any version of Windows 7 in a Netbook, all the way up to Windows 7 Ultimate. 3. Starter Edition is primarily target at what Microsoft defines as "Developing Countries" and will typically not be offered anywhere in the U.S. The only reason Microsoft lists the possibility of Starter Edition on Netbooks is because, due to its artificial limitations, it is very lightweight and can run on low-end hardware.
It sound like they left their brains on the shelf when they came up with the three program rule. Didn't anyone count how many programs are running in the system tray? (AntiVirus, Video settings, Network connection, Power management,…)
AM, What you say is true historically. But Microsoft has said Windows 7 Starter will now be available in the U.S., whereas Starter versions of the OS were previously only available in emerging economies. It is up to the hardware maker to decide which version of the OS they use, and price – both the retail price of their hardware and that of the OS – will play central roles in deciding whether they use Starter or something else. The bottom line is that this is the first time Microsoft is making an OS version with a three-app limit for the U.S. market. That seems significant. Netbooks are the reason for the move.
"he believes it's better to have even a limited version of Windows than Linux"
Better for Microsoft, that is. For the consumer, they'd be much better off getting one with Linux (but not Xandros or Linpus Linux) preinstalled. My wife and I both have netbooks with Ubuntu Linux on them. There are no restrictions, and there's no need to slow them down/waste energy having antivirus and antispyware software running. The 3d desktop blows the upgraded Vista/7 Aero desktop away.
Yawn, Microsoft bores me. I tried Vista what a fiasco that was. I used to be a big fan of MS now I am just not that interested. I also tried Windows 7, basically that was just a re-polished Vista that seemed to work a bit faster. When they decided on 4 or 6(whatever it was) different flavors of Windows Vista I saw this as money grab pure and simple. The pockets they were fleecing were the consumers. From then on I lost any semblance of respect or admiration I had for MS. Give us two versions of Windows, (Basic and Pro). I currently own Vista Business, and Vista Ultimate. But I have neither installed. I am using Windows XP Pro it runs circles around Vista and at least it's stable. It took them ten years to make it stable but it just works. So when I read about a crippled Windows 7. I say anything that comes from MS in the area of Operating Systems is crippled anyway so what's the difference. We'll beta test Windows 7 for the next five years and finally we will have a stable OS. Until then get use to the frustration that is life as a Windows 7 user. MS still has an opportunity to win peoples trust back. I had hoped MS had learned from the errors of its ways with it disaster that is Vista and at least attempted to simplify the Windows 7 offerings. But advance information appears to confirm that money-grubbing whores are proliferating the whole of this once great company.

I always find it creepy when someone you don't know says 'bless you' after you sneeze. It's just weird that certain actions permit people in public to interact with you.
Edit: Permit isn't the right word. It's more that, certain things you do increase the likelihood of interaction with people. It's interesting that sneezing invites a blessing, but something like coughing doesn't.
I know that people are just being polite when they say 'bless you', and they are probably just saying it out of habit, but it feels very meaningless. Bless you, your medulla oblongata triggered a sneezing reflex because something is irritating your olfactory mucosa! Thank you for being polite to me after I sneezed! It just feels like an unnecessary interaction.
This article sums up my feelings on politeness:

SS3/blog sort order and pagination
15 September 2012 at 10:53am Last edited: 15 September 2012 12:26pm
I'm having an issue getting both sort order and limited pagination both working with latest blog module.
I've extended the BlogHolder and BlogEntry:
WorkHolder extends BlogHolder{}
WorkEntry extends BlogEntry{}
In my _config file I have:
And if I use this in my WorkHolder template, everything works fine. The list limits to 5 entries and the pager at the bottom of the posts works as expected:
<% loop BlogEntries %>
If I change the sort order like this (or whatever I sort by):
<% loop BlogEntries.sort('Sort','ASC') %>
The order changes as expected, but the pagination no longer works. I get the pagination at the bottom of the blog list (e.g., '1 2 Next') but I also get every blog post on every page. So if I have 7 blog posts, I get all seven on page 1 and all seven on page 2.
I also tried doing something like this in my controller:
public function sortedChildren() {
$workentry = WorkEntry::get()->sort('Sort', 'ASC');
return $workentry;
And looping through the sortedChildren, but that has the same issue.
Can someone tell me if this is not possible or what I'm missing or point me in the right direction?
Also, adding static $default_sort = 'Sort ASC'; to my WorkEntry class, ordered by SiteTree not SiteTree_Live.

Immigration Debate Today: House Plays Predictable Politics, While Senate Signals Sensibility
September 21, 2006
Washington, DC – The following is a statement by Angela Kelley, Deputy Director of the National Immigration Forum, a non-profit, non-partisan pro-immigration advocacy group.
In stark contrast to today's actions by the House of Representatives, Senate leaders in both parties have indicated their intention to reject efforts to attach piecemeal enforcement measures on the pending Homeland Security appropriations bill. From Republican Senators Thad Cochran (MS), Arlen Specter (PA), and Larry Craig (ID) to Democrats Harry Reid (NV) and Dianne Feinstein (CA), leaders are indicating the endgame battle over must-pass spending bills seems likely to exclude narrow enforcement-only immigration measures like those passed today in the House.
We applaud these Senators who are rising to the occasion, standing firm for a comprehensive solution that secures the border while creating a functioning legal immigration framework that will actually make progress on controlling immigration. The deadly and chaotic immigration status quo is unacceptable, but not beyond repair if leaders like those in the Senate remain steadfast in their support of measures that will actually fix the complex and interrelated problems.
In the remaining days of the Senate session, we expect the bipartisan coalition that courageously stood up for an approach to immigration reform that combines legality with enforcement will continue to hold strong. Controversial measures like those passed today by the House ought to be rejected because they could delay or derail passing critical spending bills. They also threaten to make a bad immigration system worse by driving immigrants further underground and delaying constructive reforms that will lead to a rational national immigration policy.

My home office is in desperate need of a makeover. My "creative space" right now is definitely more of a crazy space so I've been on the search for some inspiration to help me De-clutter, switch on creativity and increase productivity.
If you're feeling like you're in the same boat, these office inspiration photos might help get you started. Quirky and simple, it doesn't have to cost you a fortune to create a more functional, organized and fun office.
Ideas that I'm going to try…
- Small items can cause some of the biggest clutter. I love the idea of using a three-tier basket to store the little bits-and-pieces.
- Write each day of the week on a peg and clip together 'to do' notes, bills and other paper work for each particular day it needs to be done.
- Recycle my cans and cover them with left over wrapping paper for pen holders. I might even install screws through the back of the cans and attach them to my wall!
- I don't have a cupboard to do this but if I did, I do love the cupboard-turned-office idea by taking off the cupboard doors and installing a desk. If I were going to do this I'd brighten things up by lining the inside wall of the cupboard with cute printed wallpaper!
- I'm going to brighten my walls by covering my cork boards with cute printed fabric.

|The Howell Family is a southern gospel singing group based in Thayer, Missouri. Thayer is a small town in southwest Missouri about 2 miles from the Arkansas state line. Our family grew up attending a local country church where our Dad and Mom pastored for several years.
The group consists of three part harmony and a live band. Members include Daniel Howell, brother, whose rich, distinct voice is featured on many songs as lead, as well as tenor and alto. Daniel also plays the bass and acoustic guitars. He began singing harmony at the age of 9. David Howell, brother, is the drummer, and has played drums since he was 5. He is one of the most outstanding drummers in southern gospel music. David is also featured on selected vocals. Miriam (Howell) LeGrand, sister, plays piano and sings as well as writing some original music for the group. Miriam's husband, Fred LeGrand, plays bass guitar and has played steel guitar and harmonica for the group. He also assists with project recordings.
The Howell Family has a rich Christian heritage passed on by our Dad and Mother. We were all raised in church, and came to know Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior at very young ages.
We are looking forward to the opportunity to sing in your area. We feel God has blessed our group greatly, as we are looking forward to our third decade of singing gospel music, should He tarry! (Yes, we were quite young when we began).
We feel that through the years our message in song has been: A Crucified Lord, A Risen Savior, and A Soon-Coming King!
Yours in Christ,
The Howell Family
