Historical New Hampshire, a publication of the New Hampshire Historical Society, has published a most complimentary review of Astrida Schaeffer's book, Embellishments: Constructing Victorian Detail. The book, which includes over 70 color photographs, and a collection of Schaeffer's own "superb instructional diagrams and schematic drawings", is particularly unique because of the level of detailed instruction focusing on recreating Victorian clothing embellishments.
Interested readers may find Embellishments in the UNH Library. You may also see examples of textiles from the UNH Irma Bowen Textile Collection, and specific pieces from Embellishments: Constructing Victorian Detail, which have been displayed in a past exhibit at the University Museum.

November 19th, Dimond Library, level 3 (main level) 10am to 4pm
Walk on the Sun is an engaging new interactive space science exhibit which facilitates perception of scientific data and imagery through music and movement. It will be showcased at the Library's GIS Day celebration on November 19.
Since 1992, Marty Quinn has worked on numerous scientific projects to represent data through the cognitively rich domain of music. Over the past several years, he received two NASA grants for an innovative approach using image sonification to communicate the content of images from NASA's STEREO space mission. He currently works for the Space Science Center at UNH's EOS (Morse Hall) supporting two NASA missions known as CRaTER and IBEX.
Walk on the Sun provides a way to explore images of all kinds, including the over one million images of the Sun, the Corona, and the solar winds from 8 cameras on board the twin NASA STEREO spacecraft, through movement and music. In addition, images of nebula and galaxies from NASA's Hubble and Chandra telescopes may also be selected for viewing, hearing and exploring.
People's movements are visually tracked and used to select pixels in images they literally walk on. The images are data projected downwards onto a white floor. The pixels are translated simultaneously into musical notes based on color and brightness so the explorer can comprehend the scientific information contained in the images via the auditory and musical channels of the human brain, substantially increasing accessibility to those who are blind and visually impaired.
For GIS Day at the Library, Marty will also be demonstrating a number of NASA environmental change image sequences which allow one to hear the change as a change in music. A follow-on technology created by Quinn called MoveMusic will also be used during the UNH Diwali Celebration on Nov 15th to sonify the movements of models during the Indian fashion show segment.

Series: BioLogos Basics (8 entries)
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
God could have created a fertile planet miraculously in an instant, but when we look carefully at the physical evidence, it appears that the earth has a longer history as part of the universe.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
When it came time to go to graduate school, one of Owen Gingerich's science professors told him "If you feel a calling to go to astronomy, you should give it a try, because we shouldn't let atheists take over any particular field."
In today's video, Brian McLaren explains his own comfort with accepting Scripture and evolution, seeing the process of evolution as a wonderful opportunity for adaptation, growth, and development and a reflection of God's glory.
This chapter from Mark Noll's book Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind seeks to understand science through a Christ-centered lens. Overall, if one accepts that nature is created and sustained by Jesus Christ, the author explains, then one must conclude that looking at nature is, in fact, the best way to learn about nature.
If God has indeed created all things, pure scientific truth should never be a "problematic thing" for Christians. If anything, scientific truth enriches the faith as it reveals his majesty and provides Christians with a deeper understanding of God.
This article provides an overview of genomics evidence for common ancestry and hominid population sizes, and briefly discusses the implications of these lines of evidence for scientific concordist approaches to the Genesis narratives.
Mark Noll, historian and author of The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, describes how Andrew Dickson White relentlessly advocated a view of history in which Science and Dogmatic Theology have always been at war with one another. Noll identifies 16 reasons why White's notion of warfare is mistaken.
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.
Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent.

Recipe by scrumdiddly
"This bright and colorful salad is a great summertime recipe (or anytime you want to feel like it's summertime). Light and citrusy, it's a whole new way to enjoy quinoa. Lime juice and cilantro give a refreshing kick, while quinoa and black beans provide tasty vegan protein. If you're not vegan, add even more protein by adding chunks of chicken or turkey. Yum!"

1 cup
2 cups
1/4 cup
extra-virgin olive oil
limes, juiced
2 teaspoons
ground cumin
1 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
red pepper flakes, or more to taste
1 1/2 cups
halved cherry tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can
black beans, drained and rinsed
green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup
chopped fresh cilantro
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Wow! This was outstanding! I only used one tsp. of cumin, but followed the rest faithfully. I also served it warm because I tried it on a fall evening. Can't wait to taste it cold. Very very tasty!!
I was a little disappointed based on the other reviews here. I thought this was way too salty, and the citrus from the limes was overpowering. If I make it again, I'd likely cut the salt and citrus in half. Also, I'm not sure the 1/4 cup of oil was worth the added calories. I may cut that by 1/2 as well.

This is my absolute favorite quinoa recipe! I have been looking for one my whole family would eat and not only did they like this...they asked for seconds!
This is a great recipe for summer parties. I'm sorry I followed some of the suggestions. I had no problem with the amount of lime juice, oil, or salt, but then I doubled the recipe, used a can of black beans and a can of garbanzo beans, used fresh tomatoes vs. canned, and added cucumbers, fresh minced garlic, and a little honey. I would caution folks to cook the quinoa al dente lest the salad becomes mushy.
Here are the changes i recommend:
I first toasted the quinoa for about 10 minutes with a little olive oil. I also upped the quinoa to 1.25 cups (but same 2 cups water).
I only used one lime.
I added about a cup of fresh white corn (2 ears).
I topped the dish with diced avocado.
This recipe was quick and easy and AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! I made a couple changes to suit my taste... I cooked the Quinoa in vegetable broth, I used only 1/2 tsp salt and closer to 2 tsp of crushed red peppers. Then I added diced avocado. This will become a regular dish in my house for sure!
Loved everything about this dish. The lime juice, red pepper flakes, and cumin make an otherwise simple dish taste zesty and complex.
Instead of canned black beans, I cooked my own (VERY low sodium this way) along with garbanzo beans (chickpeas) and edamame. I used 3/4 cup each black and garbanzo beans and 1/2 cup edamame.
Outstanding combination of flavors. I haven't been a Quinoa fan until this salad. I concluded I prefer Quinoa cooked a little on the al-dente side so I cooked it for 10 minutes and then strained (to remove the excess liquid) and cooled it in a mesh colander. Used a combination of red and white Quinoa, sundried tomatoes to taste instead of fresh and reduced the salt to 1/2 teaspoon. Perfect! Delicious fresh made and delicious after it's been chilled. This salad is "company" worthy and one I know I'll be enjoying often on its own or as a side when grilling. Thanks scrumdiddly for sharing.

Gallery: Gensler Designs Shipping Container Eco-Cabins for Boy Scouts
The eco-cabin is made up of two 20′ containers bolted together to create a 320 sq ft space. The structure has been covered with a vaulted translucent roof of stretched silicone-coated fiberglass over aluminum arches, and the roof and the connecting sides of the two containers were removed to provide a larger, light-filled structure. As this is a cabin designed for boy scouts, little is needed in terms of power, and LEDs are powered by a solar system to offer light at night. During the day, the translucent vaulted ceiling offers ample daylighting while also giving the cabin a more spacious feel.
Gensler designed and built the cabin back in LA, cut the sides away, insulated the interior and from there all the materials were packed away inside the containers for shipping to the Island. The two containers were installed upon a low concrete six pier foundation and a deck was constructed from reclaimed wood taken from an old dock in the bay. An additional nineteen, identical cabins will be constructed and assembled on the island to replace the camp's existing barracks. There will also be the addition of a new outdoor learning center, also to be constructed from shipping containers.
Gensler provided their services pro-bono for this project; while Arup managed the structural engineering, J. Miller Canvas the roof and doors, The RMS Group the containers, Primus Lighting the LED Lighting, and Nora Systems the rubber flooring.

If you are considering modular or prefab home, or looking for an alternative to high cost construction, building with recycled shipping containers is worth taking a look at. There are many considerations that have contributed to the appeal of building with intermodal shipping containers – availability, standardization, the recycled/green factor, economy and speed of construction, their durability, and even their "elegance/grace".
Good resource is the Residential Shipping Container Primer website. A SHOWCASE OF SHIPPING CONTAINER HOMES AND BUILDINGDS, AND A DO IT YOURSELF (DIY) REFERENCE FOR CONVERTING RECYCLED INTERMODAL CARGO SHIPPING CONTAINERS INTO BUILDINGS AND ARCHITECTURE.
Lots of great example buildings, details, facts, and links to other articles. They have something new that you can setup your own project wiki to get help with your project if you are considering a design build project.

I don't know why exactly, but I am consistently enthralled with shipping container architecture. A project like this would probably do well at the Holcim Awards US – http://on.fb.me/holcim-awards

Chair Yellen's comments in March that short-term rates could move higher early next year, combined with weak economic data, caused a sharp rotation away from growth stocks, especially the longer-duration names we tend to favor (see our post "When Stocks Behave Like Bonds"). There's been ongoing debate about where we are in the market and economic cycles. Growth has recovered some following stronger economic data, but still trails value year-to-date.
In our view, the economy looks to be positioned for steady growth: not too hot and not too cold. Chair Yellen vowed at her press conference today to keep interest rates low for a "considerable time" after current quantitative easing ended, given continued slack in the economy and inflation that remains below the Fed's 2% target. Against this economic backdrop, we've had a balanced positioning of secular and cyclical growth names. Valuations of growth stocks relative to non-growth stocks remain compelling by historic standards, and we see more room for P/E expansion in growth stocks as the economic recovery strengthens.

This view of growth's potential is gaining currency: Late yesterday, Empirical Research Partners shifted its forecast from a neutral regime (3 out of 5) to growth-tilt regime (4 out of 5). This is the first time since 2008 Empirical has felt that growth would outperform value. Empirical has long made the case that getting the regime correct ("knowing what game you are playing") is critical to knowing what quantitative tools will work, and when.
In every business cycle going back to 1970, growth has outperformed value in the last 12 to 36 months of the cycle. This has usually coincided with the following conditions:

We expect the merits of growth equities will garner increased recognition as economic growth accelerates in the months ahead. Still, we believe that there will be disparities among companies' performances. In this environment, we expect our high-conviction, fundamentally driven approach will allow us to pick the winners from the losers within this more attractive growth universe.

You might want to check on the 2" x 3/8" reducer outlet fitting...
On my 60 gallon tank the reducer is straight pipe/o-ring sealed not the typical tapered pipe plug readly available at plumbing supply houses.
While you could attempt to "seat" a taper into the straight threads welded into the tank a drill/tap combination can make the reducer any thread size you wish and most likely would never leak!

your comment on this was not needed.
it seems like you like to get in the middle of things alot.
"play nice " " let others make choices "
who's playing wrong? Who had to say the above?
It was my choice not yours
By the way I was for the change in the format.
I keep my shop very clean and neat.

I sorta have a different opinion...If the moderator would mqderate this and leave a post explaining why after a few thousand times it would pay off. It happens on the other welding forums everyday
Another thing that causes it to happen is unless they changed it when you use the old address to the old forum you arrive here and it looks the same. If they changed that now then never mind.
So I guess you could say it is about 80% Millers fault.... IMO So come on guys lets get to moderating before this gets out of hand and we end up with 2 discussion forums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (that would just be plain dumb)
As for the PCV...as some of you know last year I had a real job for a year or so.
Well in that shop they had pvc air lines. I have got to see first hand how they blow to ****!!! Just the sound scares the living crap out of you. And pieces will fly my friend.
I read a post somewhere about a severe eye injury from this and I believe it was from an ambulance driver it seems like if my memory serves me correctly.

i saw that one too.
my dad has PVC in his shop, been there for years no problem. i cant afford to do mine in copper yet so for not i just have standard air lines running from one shop to the other. from there its hooked to a reel with another 50" i think of roll out to cover the hold shop. some day i hope to get it hard lined, copper or the aluminum stuff they sell ready made for instillation would be my choice.
also be shore to leave a flexible link from the compressor to the start of the hard lines for vibration. i'll see if i can find a link to one if ya don't know where to get one.thanks for the help
hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. email@example.com

I`m looking into changing my shop over to either 1/2 or more likely 3/4 inch plastic air brake line like large trucks are equipped with. I`ll post back as to what size hole it will leave in my wallet . but it should last for ever as long as it isn`t exposrd to high heat and it should be easily modified .

We have galvanized steel pipe in our shop. it is a mix of 3/4", 1", and 1-1/4" pipe. The compressor it self has a single hot-dog tank constructed from 8" Sch. 40 Black Steel Column Pipe. Shop Air Storage is a 40 Gallon LP tank from an Oliver Tractor. The line is about 25 feet in total length. The compressor is hooked up via a 3/8" Hydraulic Hose line with 1/4" Milton Air Fittings. This compressor has been moved around and taken out of the shop for use on occasion. We have plugged tees at the ends of the horizontal runs for future tie ins or expansion. If we had not used galvanized pipe, we would have used black pipe instead. Maximum pressure on the system is 125 PSI. The pipe and fittings are all rated minimum of 600 PSI. The storage tank is equipped with at least two brass ball valves for the existing line and one more for future runs in the shop. We used Rector-seal No. 5 Soft Set Pipe Dope initially but now use IPS Teflon pipe paste/dope same as we use on our water well work.
Other shops I have worked in all used Sch. 40 Galvanized or Black Steel pipe. Main distribution was at least 2" with 1-1/2" Drops with 1", 3/4" or even 1/2" spurs running to points of use.
PVC Pipe, even Schedule 80 threadable PVC is NOT RATED or DESIGNED to be used with air. New of one manufacturer here in Plainview that used Sch. 80 pipe and fittings for air in the plant. After 6 month of constants repairs and flying shrapnel from the PVC line, it was all replaced with steel line. The cost of the PVC was half that of the Steel, but the repairs alone cost more that the original install and the steel replacement combined.
D.O.T. Plastic line is used for Air Service on Trucks and D.O.T. regulated equipment. Its not really meant for general use in a shop. It also has a tendency to burst and break and scare one senseless. Ruptures with D.O.T. line generally happen on the coldest or hottest day when you need reliable air the most. Also, it tend to be a tad pricey. The plastic or brass fittings, ferrules, inserts and connectors are not cheap either.
Have you priced copper lately? Black or Galvanized steel will cost you less. I can cut and thread steel pipe faster than messing with the solder and preparation needed to make copper seal up good. But that is me.
Since your compressor is already equipped with a 2" x 3/8" bushing, it would be really simple to just change it out to what ever 2" x X" you may require. I personally would run a minimum of 1" or even 1-1/4" line. Just makes for easy flow. Plus, the line itself will give you some storage. Drops in at least 3/4". Don't for get your moisture traps and line drains on your drops and at the end of the lines. Also, for extended lateral runs, don't for get to put some slope in the line so your moisture will run down the pipe to moisture trap and drain points.

I found an old invoice from a box of 1/2 inch plastic and it comes out at around 50 cents per foot. As far as bursting in extreme weather, in the 35 years running air brakes the only failure I have seen is from a close encounter with a cutting torch or a situation where a hole is rubbed through.
Only a hand full of fittings would be needed as it can be had in rolls of 50, 100, and 200ft. Haven`t priced 3/4" yet , but I think it is a good option for me.

we run 3/4" black iron pipe threw out our shop and it works great for air tools
but have a bigger 3" main black iron pipe straight from the compressor,that feeds the Bead blasters and reduces down to 3/4" close to the blaster hook ups.
I would say in your case 3/4" black iron pipe would work well
good luck
............. Richard
Being a pipefitter and working in the instrumentation sector of the field right now, I will give you the standard for running air lines, and this is a standard that is adopted pretty much industry-wide. Run your your mains and drops in galvanized threaded pipe. Also, do not come off the bottom of the main with your drops. Instead, face the tee up, and make double 90 breaks down wherever you need them. This will prevent most of any moisture in the main from getting to your tools. Put a low point drain on every drop to allow you to do periodic blowdowns. And use teflon tape(PTFE) on the threads. Using liquid pipe dope will have the potential of the dope getting into your tools. It may cost a few extra dollars, but it will be right. If youreally want the Cadillac installation, do it in stainless tubing and compression fittings.

The Bucs will take on No. 3-seeded Georgia Tech on Monday
BALL GROUND, Ga. (Mar. 20, 2011)
- ETSU freshman
Spencer Lawson
(Raleigh, N.C.) won his match against Duke, but the 10
-seeded Blue Devils took the next four matches to defeat the 15
-seeded Bucs, 4-1, in the second round of the Callaway Collegiate Match Play Championships on Sunday afternoon.
Lawson, who was playing in the No. 2 position for the Bucs, got the Bucs off to a quick start by winning the first match, 4 and 3, over Wes Roach. Lawson led throughout the entire match.
The Bucs pulled the upset by defeating second-seeded Alabama in the first round of the event, earlier in the day. ETSU will take on the host and No. 3-seeded Georgia Tech tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m.
With ETSU up 1-0, Duke recorded a win to even the match back up after Austin Cody defeated
Lucas Armstrong
(Church Hill, Tenn.), 4 and 3. Then, the Blue Devils took the lead as Tim Gornik beat
Devin Komline
(Dorset, Vermont), 3 and 2.
The Blue Devils clinched the win after Julian Suri and Brinson Paolini earned the final two victories. Suri defeated
Patrick Spraggs
(Rochford, England) 2 up, while Paolini got past
Paul O'Kane
(Castledawson, Northern Ireland), 1 up.
The event is comprised of four rounds of match play between teams, similar to the Final Eight of the NCAA Championship. Each team match includes individual matches between each of the five players, and the winner of each individual match scores a point for his team.
Georgia Tech is the host school and is joined by USC, Alabama, Baylor, Duke, East Tennessee State, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Pacific, South Carolina, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UCLA and Washington State. Georgia (2005) and UCLA (2007) are past winners of the event while 2010 runner-up USC leads a contingent of five teams (Iowa, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UCLA) returning from last year's tournament.

You'd never describe your USB Flash drive as a floppy disk, even though it serves the same purpose. You wouldn't think of referring to the network admin who runs your servers as a "keypunch operator." So why did you tell your daughter that you are "filming" her dance recital on a digital camera?
Upgrade your thought-to-speech engine by avoiding these 13 confusing or outdated tech terms.
Rotary phones were on their way out when Ronald Reagan took the oath of office for the first time. Today, landline phones with physical push buttons are all but dead too. Every time you say that you're dialing someone's number, Alexander Graham Bell turns over in his grave. Just say you're calling, inputting or entering a phone number any time you try to initiate a call.
I'm also against the term tube to describe TVs or the term LED to differentiate LCDs backlit with LED in place of CFL, instead of refernce to OLEDs or other LED display technologies.
I love how under the "Smartphone" description you use the term "Desktop" lol. Anyway, it's a Desktop computer because it sits on top of a desk….and is a computer.
So All-in-ones (the new thing) that sit on top of your desk is still a computer that sits on TOP of your DESK.
Add "rewind" to the list pls.
Slow news day, eh Pittch? You going to start handing out tickets to "terminology offenders"? And who appointed you this worthless assignment?
Dear Mr. Avram Piltch,
Please read the comments section on the yahoo website where your article is posted.
Seeing that more than hundreds of people hate your writing, please stop.
You obviously don't know what you are talking about.
Why not get an engineering background before you talk about technology.
Just because you have a writing degree and know how to use a little HTML does not make you a technology expert.
Bill Gates would cry a little in his heart because this article is technically incorrect.
This article is a farce. I came here from surfing yahoo.com to say that. It was so offensive that I wasted my personal time to tell you you're an idiot. Thanks for nothing Avram
S's comment is true and false. You do have a point. But….. who cares if we say tube film dial etc. These are relative terms that are short sweet and every person understands. If you'd like to repair the English language you need to start further back my son!
Dear sir,
You may have a point about some of these terms.
But if you care to make that much of a big deal about, maybe you need to find another language.
This is how English works. Meanings of words change and carry the baggage of the past.
Jeez, people are ruthless. Why would anyone take offense to an article created for a little "fun." This was not meant to be some scientific revelation, just agree or disagree to it and be respectful.
Personal cloud is correct. You can connect to these devices from anywhere. As opposed to trusting an outside company and being limited.
Yeah, I came here from Yahoo, too. Wondering, "Who is this guy?" I've never read any of your other columns and this one gives me no reason to do so. I don't like wasting my time reading some guy's personal rant cloaked in the form of News. This article is a perfect example of your definition of a blog – no Journalism here! (And apparently now editorial staff either.)
This is for humor I'm sure. Otherwise, the author would never "drive" a car. The term "drive" means to force animal(s) in a direction. Be sure to "pilot" your car. Now, if you will excuse me, I am going to the icebox for a pop to enjoy while sitting on my davenport.
He got a lot of the origins of these terms right, but I was surprised he knew nothing of webcams. People always used skype? Are you kidding me? During the heyday of webcams in the 1990s, they were exactly what they said – a very slow transmission through a webpage. Additionally, it was fun to let the camera be controlled by people on the web. These were primarily used for viewing things, not communication. (And there was a certain type of popular viewing on webcams that persists to this day.)
One of the main points of webcams is that they were incredibly low quality cameras with state of the art transmission rates maybe being 1 frame every 5 seconds – which again, you often still get to this day.
So yes – "Web Camera" certainly made sense to distinguish these from serious teleconference equipment.
[Addendum to why webcam did make sense..] – of course, the "web" in webcam referred not to use of a "web page", but to the "world wide web", which in the 90s was the more popular term for using the internet, since it was the web that suddenly popularized those TCP/IP packets. So in 1990's terms, Facetime is indeed talking "over the web" as well, although it's really just TCP/IP.
This article was the biggest P.O.S. and waste of time. I should have known by the very first sentence in the article: "You'd never describe your USB Flash drive as a floppy disk, even though it serves the same purpose."
DUH! I wouldn't describe a USB flash drive as a floppy disk because the USB drive isn't FLOPPY! And guess what else? It has no DISK!
Okay, so here's another one…… ANY portable computer is a PC. That includes those pieces of fluff built and marketed by Apple. Technically, one should refer to these machines as an Apple PC, or a Lenovo PC, etc.
Shall we get rid of the word "Laptop"? Who actually puts this on their lap? It is usually on a table, floor, or carseat beside you. We should call it a portable computer, or mobile intelligence….oops, that would make this website obsolete…
As soon as I read the line that when he was at school, everyone had a desktop computer, I gave up. I had a paper tablet and a pencil in grammar school. This is just typical PC fluff and we all know political correctness is the last bastion of the pseudo-intellectual. I am sure the writer didn't mean it serious;y, at least I hope he isn't that dull-witted. Anyway, I still dial a number, surf the web (how I got here), use a smartphone, tape a program, and stay "tuned in" to a program. That's why God made commercials, for snack breaks, no reason to turn the dial (which I imagine he's never seen).
Ease of use is also a consideration. Meaning is more than clear enough for everyday communication. Found this article a little hypocritical, considering you're using technically incorrect idioms yourself, such as 'burning the midnight oil' , although there is no oil being burned in any lamps. You should instead say ' using the midnight electricity' .
i will never stop using the 'dial' due to this article. i'm going to expand to new phrases such as 'dial up that website' just so the author of this article can go down in history as the dial dink.
i guess it's more about word count than content. i also blame yahoo. i need a life and a new home page.
Is 'home page' still ok to say? How 'bout 'give your head a shake'? is that ok?
it's 'wacky wall walker'. sheesh
Haha. This was the worst thing I have ever read. How does "inputting" a number sound less dated than "dialing" it?
And "stationary computer?"
Are you kidding me?
Is this satire?
Are you an idiot?
What kind of geek vomits in terror anytime someone says "film". I've never read one of your articles before this but I want to certainly avoid them in the future. You're a hack.
The first Zeneth remote control I saw made a click when you pushed one of its 4 buttons. I call the remote cotrol a "clicker" to this day. Whats the big deal?
Mr Piltch is guilty of not practicing what he preaches.
In the section on the personal cloud he says, and I quote-
"Somewhere a team of network engineers is BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL
to keep the sever with your dropbox account on it running"
May I remind you that the expression "burning the midnight oil" comes from the 19 century,
before electricity was invented as a way for people to see what they were doing in the dark.
Burning oil provided illumination.
So while every other expression you disdain is under 30 years old, you are using one almost
200 years old. Instead, be like Motel 6 and say-
"we kept the lights on for you"
Your article is beyond bad. To think you actually put time and effort into constructing something so awful makes me laugh. I would add your name to the list of words never to be spoken. It looks like someone banged there hands on a keyboard (is that term still ok for you?) and came up with it. You're a joke and NYU should be embarrassed by you as a graduate.

wow Ive heard of being picky but son of a bitch. Since you like to over analyze terms go look up ubiquity.
Errr – when you and I were at school, computer's that weren't `Desktop' were ` mainframe'. Desktops were so called because they didn't need the whole **** room
The vast majority of the "oudated" words are much shorter and overall better sounding then the suggested alternatives. "Video-conferencing cam", really?
