Can Owning A Cat Void Your HP Warranty?
Chris sent his HP Elitebook in for repair, only to learn that he had done something to void the warranty, and it wouldn't be repaired. What was his heinous offense against technology? He owns a cat, and there's fur inside the computer, causing HP to declare his computer a "biological hazard" and send it back un-repaired. He sent along photos that HP took of his disassembled computer and used to make the case that his computer wasn't repairable.
After 3 weeks of HP support-hell, I finally reached someone who could give me a little info on why my laptop wasn't repaired. I sent an elitebook in for repair, which was sent back unrepaired, with no explanation. It's been very frustrating trying to speak to somebody who can actually DO SOMETHING, let alone transfer me to someone who can.
The powerpoint attached is the powerpoint that support reps see when they view my case. Those are the only photos HP took, and that's their basis for voiding my warranty. [Click here to see a PDF version of that slideshow.]
The supervisor I spoke to started with "So, you have a long haired-cat?" I in fact have a short haired cat. He then said "Wow, I'm surprised that fan turns at all." I scoffed, and told him he was crazy, and that all the hair in the computer (the very tiny bit in there) was what I sent it in with. I never blew it out or cleaned it, but he seemed to think otherwise. I was looking at the powerpoint at the time, and the amount of pet hair in the vent was hardly enough to make it slow down even 1/1000 rpm.
Anyway, I kept arguing with him about how that was really not a lot of cat hair. He told me that it was "covered" and that he was positive that the computer had overheated (multiple reps told me the same thing). I knew it was all a lie, I was looking at the same photos he was, and there was hardly any hair in there. I kept saying that, and I told him the computer cooled itself fine.
He seemed to relent later, and he pretty much agreed with me, so he talked to his supervisor (to make an appeal). Then he gets back on the phone with me and says that the supervisor said that there was SO MUCH cat hair that it's considered a biological hazard. That's absolutely ridiculous, and he wouldn't even give me the number for his supervisor or transfer me to him (why not?).
I probably have more cat hair on my shirt than what was in the laptop. Am I a walking "biological hazard"? I don't think so. Why don't they lock me up and throw me in jail for sending such a dangerous computer into HP's service center? Oh wait… because that's just an excuse to get out of a warranty.
Cat hair or not, I just want my computer fixed. It's a manufacturing defect, and it just so happens that the laptop is sprinkled with a bit of hair.
I've pretty much called every number that was made public. I need to know where to go now. Small claims court, perhaps?
Other readers have gone above the level of tech support and had their warranties un-voided through the use of the executive e-mail carpet bomb. Try that tactic before going to court.

New products: computer mouse scans documents, photos
This weekly roundup takes a look at the practical and sometimes quirky aspects of tech products.
There's a new mouse in the house
If you thought the mouse hooked up to your desktop computer was only good for doing things like maneuvering the cursor and clicking on links, think again. The IRIScan Mouse from I.R.I.S. can scan text and convert it into various Word documents that you can then edit. To scan, click on the scan button and glide the mouse across a photo, newspaper article or other document. As you move the mouse, the images and text on the document will be stitched together in real time on your computer screen. The IRIScan mouse, which also functions as a regular USB computer mouse, costs about $80.
Get charged up, but not wired
Thomas Edison would be proud. In the relentless quest to do away with annoying charger cables, there are now some interesting ways to charge your devices. If you own the popular Samsung Galaxy SIII, for example, three new options from Monster Watts can charge your phone wirelessly. Consider the Stealth wireless receiver and charger set. Thin enough to place under the phone's cover, the receiver has two metal studs that connect to connecting points on the phone's battery. Once the receiver is in place, the charging pad can power up the phone without a wired hookup. The S3WST Stealth set costs $68. Another option involves replacing your phone's back cover with a Simple wireless receiver cover that's just a tad thicker than the original. The S3WBK Simple set, which also includes a charging pad, costs $98. If you want to bring along some extra power, the Super Pack S3WSP set features an external case with a built-in wireless receiver and a rechargeable 1200 mAh back up-battery. The set, which comes with a charging pad, costs $118. The charging sets will be available for shipment next month.
Now your fish tales can go high-tech
Your own children — or maybe just the kid in you — probably get a kick out of gazing at tropical fish as they frolic in a home or office aquarium: They can be mesmerizing to watch as they gracefully glide to and fro. But there are some downsides — such as feeding them and having to clean the tank. Plus, well, real fish can die and go belly-up. So why not just get a fish robot? That's more or less the idea behind the Robo Fish from Zuru. The robotic fish are about the same size as real goldfish. Simply fill up a plastic goldfish bowl (or bath) with water, drop the fish in the water and watch them swim. One caveat: The battery-powered fish automatically swim whenever they're in water. To save on batteries, you'll want to put the fish on dry land in between viewings. The robotic fish cost about $20 each.
New label-maker solves your identity crisis
Every household probably has an item of clothing or a piece of sports gear that could stand to use a good identification label. But in many instances, creating a label can be more hassle than help. Think of all the times you've used a marker to identify junior's basketball jersey only to wind up with an inky mess. That's where the Epson LabelWorks Iron-On Kit comes into the picture. The kit includes a LabelWorks LW-300 label printer, two iron-on tape cartridges and a carrying case. Print the labels, iron them on and there will be no more debates about who really owns that favorite red sweater. The kit costs about $70.

Pros: Good overall fuel economy; standard Bluetooth and USB/iPod connectivity; accommodating backseat; stylish interior; nimble handling
Cons: Outdated 4-speed automatic transmission; noisy engine; steering wheel doesn't telescope
What's New: The base Yaris L receives some new standard equipment for 2013, including a 6-speaker stereo and Bluetooth. Also, cruise control is newly standard on the LE.
The 2013 Toyota Yaris marks year two for the current design, so it's a good time to sit back and take stock. Last year we hailed the redesigned Yaris's improved styling, features and driving dynamics. But how well does Toyota's smallest, cheapest car compete in this fast-moving segment?
Let's get the bad news out of the way first: The Yaris continues to use a 4-speed automatic transmission, which hinders both acceleration and highway fuel economy. Most rivals have five or six speeds by now. So that's a bit disappointing.
But the Yaris does its best to compensate in other areas. Feature content was already a strength by subcompact standards, but the 2013 Yaris goes even further, providing Bluetooth and six stereo speakers across the lineup. The interior is both stylish and spacious, a rare combination at this price point. And the suspension is surprisingly capable, delivering more fun-to-drive smiles than expected.
To sum it up, the Yaris may not be a superstar but it's a solid competitor with the added bonuses of Toyota's traditionally strong resale value and reliability. Last year's redesign continues to stand the Yaris in good stead.
Comfort & Utility
The 2013 Toyota Yaris hatchback is offered in L, LE and SE trim levels.
The base L model is well-equipped with 15-inch steel wheels, air-conditioning, a 6-speaker stereo with iPod/USB connectivity, Bluetooth, a tilt-only steering wheel (a telescopic function is unavailable) and a fold-down backseat.
The LE adds features like a height-adjustable driver's seat, cruise control, a 60/40-split folding back seat and steering wheel-mounted audio controls.
The sport-themed SE tacks on 16-in alloy wheels, unique exterior styling cues, sport fabric upholstery, a leather-wrapped sport steering wheel and special instrumentation.
The Yaris model's front seats are nothing to write home about, though the SE model's sport fabric upholstery does seem to add a bit of grip. A potential deal breaker for taller drivers is the tilt-only steering column, which requires a serious reach forward if the seat has been moved all the way back. We love the dashboard, though, as it has far more style than ever before, vaulting the Yaris to the head of the class in this respect. The materials aren't bad, either; no, the plastics aren't luxurious, but at least they have distinctive grains and everything seems to be bolted together well.
The Yaris model's legitimately accommodating backseat is proof that subcompacts don't have to punish rear passengers. Even full-sized adults can ride back there for a while without complaint. Kudos to Toyota's engineers for figuring out how to make this happen in such a tiny car.
Speaking of tiny things, the Yaris model's hatchback cargo area measures a bit more than 15 feet, which is about the size of a midsize sedan's trunk. Still, fold the Yaris model's rear seat back down and you'll have a very handy box-shaped cargo bay. Toyota doesn't provide an estimate for the maximum cargo capacity, but it's certainly a useful amount. That's a hatchback for you.
By class standards, the Yaris brings strong technology to the table. We like that even the most basic Yaris comes standard with iPod/USB connectivity as well as Bluetooth for 2013. The formerly upmarket 6-speaker stereo is also standard this year. There's not much else going on in the tech department -- no navigation system and no Entune mobile app interface as in other Toyota products -- but the Yaris gets a passing grade here.
Performance & Fuel Economy
The Yaris is powered by a 1.5-liter inline-4 rated at 106 horsepower and 103 lb-ft of torque. It's not our favorite engine in this segment. Noise is pronounced during acceleration and there's not much get-up-and-go, either. A 5-speed manual is standard and it's actually quite pleasant to operate; we recommend it over the optional 4-speed automatic, which feels primitive compared with the newer 5- and 6-speed units available elsewhere.
The fuel economy gap between the two transmissions has narrowed for 2013. Last year, the manual was a significant 3 miles per gallon better on the highway, but this year the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says it's basically a dead heat, as it has rated the manual at 30 mpg city/37 mpg hwy and the automatic at 30 mpg city/36 mpg hwy. These are unimpressive highway figures for a tiny economy car; the city figures, however, are robust.
The 2013 Yaris comes with standard stability control, nine airbags and whiplash-reducing front seats.
In government crash testing, the Yaris got an overall rating of four stars out of five, including four stars for frontal impacts, five stars for side impacts and four stars for rollover safety. The independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded the Yaris its top rating of Good in every crash test category, including the roof strength test, previously a trouble spot for this Toyota.
Driving Impressions
There's no doubt that Toyota has upped the fun factor with the current Yaris. The steering is noticeably tighter and more responsive than before and the car zips around with an eagerness that we don't remember from the previous car. It's kind of fun. The raucous engine is a bit of a killjoy, though, and we'd hesitate to call the ride supple. In other words, the Yaris is something of a mixed bag from behind the wheel. Make sure you take it up to highway speeds during the test drive and try to find some bumpy pavement to sample, too.
Other Cars to Consider
Chevrolet Sonic: The Sonic excels at cruising on the highway and it has some neat interior touches, not to mention superior power and fuel economy with the 1.4-liter turbo. A tough competitor for the Yaris.
Kia Rio: Blessed with possibly the best-looking exterior and interior of any subcompact, the Rio is the runway model of this group and it's a pleasant drive, too.
Toyota Prius c: If you've got up to $20,000 to spend and want to use less gas, check out the new Prius c, which is based on the Yaris but runs at an insane 50 mpg.
AutoTrader Recommends
Given the Yaris model's equipment upgrades for 2013, we think the base L model gives the best value. But pay attention to the height of the driver's seat, because it's not adjustable in the L; you'll need the LE for that.
What do you think of the new Yaris? Let us know in the comments below.

My kids are always on the go. Always moving. If they stop, it is to sleep or eat, and sometimes they don't even stop to do that!
I'm a busy mom. I've got two jobs and I run my own site, as I'm sure most of us do. There are also those pesky outdoor chores that are always around. So, the word "fun" hasn't exactly been in my vocabulary for a little while now.
Don't get me wrong -- I love to watch my kids have fun. But, alone time is pretty minimal.
So, lately, I've taken to getting some of those more mundane outdoor tasks done while having fun with my kids. They enjoy it. I enjoy it. Everyone has fun and is happy.
Here's what I've done so far:
Cooperative power washing -- We live in an older home, so it needs pretty regular maintenance. That coupled with the fact that we have fields all around us means the pressure washer needs to come out every once in a while.
When the kids were younger, they would watch me from the window while I did the pressure washing, but now that they are a little older (7 and 5, both boys) I decided it might be fun to let them join in on the endless fun that is pressure washing.
As long as I was helping them hold the hose, everything was good. They had a blast and I didn't really have to do much work. Hopefully, they like it so much, they'll do it when they get older! Just don't let them spray each other or anyone else...
Sprinkler Fun -- This one was a staple of my childhood and the key to surviving hot Chicago summers. But, when I moved to Houston as an adult, I didn't see many kids playing in sprinklers. I guess it must just be easier to play video games inside.
Most of the time, I water my garden by hand. I'll meticulously get every leaf and every blade of grass. But at the end of a long, hard day, I just want to relax. So, I brought the kids outside and told them to hook up the sprinkler. I set up a lawn chair and watched them run through the sprinkler, playing games with each other. I even got in there after a nice little catnap.
Dirt Castle Mulching -- If there is one thing I hate more than anything in the world, it is mulching. I'd have a landscaping crew come do it, but I'm too cheap...
So rather than dish out the cash for that, I enlisted the help of my boys. I carried the bags out to the backyard and opened them up. I grabbed the boys some gloves I had picked up at Home Depot and gave them two sandcastle buckets.
I told them that they could use the dirt to make dirt castles. They complained a little, but when I promised them they could destroy them, they started building immediately. Every once in a while, I had to direct them to the right places to put the dirt, but other than that, after a few hours, I had a mulched backyard. Brilliant!
Views: 32
The only way I've ever gotten my kids to actually rake is to promise them that they can jump in the piles after they're done.
These are great ideas.....I'm in Chicago now so I know what you mean about the hot summers. We were big fans of sprinklers too! Any advice on how to get kids to help with raking leaves?

The Gatineau River rises in lakes north of the Baskatong Reservoir and flows south to join the Ottawa River at the city of Gatineau. The river is 386 km (239.8 mi) long and drains an area of 23,700 km².
While it has been said that the river's name comes from Nicolas Gatineau, a fur trader who is said to have drowned in the river in 1683, the local Indian tribe, the Algonquin Anicinabek assert that the name comes from their language. The name they give the river is "Te-nagàdino-zìbi", which means "The River that Stops [One's Journey]".
The geography of the area was altered with the construction of the Baskatong Reservoir, and it is still possible to travel upstream on the Gatineau and reach a point where a small portage will bring you to the headwaters of the Ottawa River. The Ottawa River then flows northwest and turns south where it eventually flows more easterly and connects with the Gatineau.
The river is a focal point of the region. Throughout history, it was a major transportation route. With the construction of the railway in the late 19th Century, the area soon became a favourite for Ottawa area residents wanting to escape the hot and humid Ottawa summers to cottages along the river. Very few of these cottages remain today, most having been converted to lovely waterfront homes.
Since the early 1970's, the population of the villages and towns dotted along its bank has grown. The river and its surrounding area offers the best of country living within a short and easy commute to the urban centres of Ottawa-Gatineau.
Water activities abound along its length – canoeing and boating, sailing (see www.gryc.ca - Gatineau River Yacht Club), swimming and fishing. In the early morning hours, you will also find the women's national dragon boat team practicing on the river near Cascades, in the Municipality of Chelsea.
The Gatineau River, the largest tributary of the Ottawa, drains an area with only a small portion of dense, industrial landuse. For this reason, the river is generally of excellent quality.
Sparkling, clear water and beautiful pine and maple forests at its edge – The Gatineau River – a great treasure!

This is a question that I get asked at conferences all the time and I am, frankly, shocked that I haven't responded to it on the blog yet. This version of it comes from Wendy, and that's what reminded me to finally address it:
I am looking for an agent for my YA fantasy novel. While researching, I cross the names off my list of those agents who state that they are not looking for picture books. I do this because I also write smaller stories that would make great picture books. My question is: If and when I find an agent and he/she does not want to take on my other stories or does not believe in them as strongly as I do, do I find another agent for these works? Do authors usually have multiple agents?
First of all, it depends on the agency. A lot of agencies who represent you for the children's market will want to represent ALL of your work in those categories. (Eternal point of clarification: "middle grade" is not a "genre," it is an "audience" or "category," same with "picture book" and "young adult." "Fantasy" or "contemporary" are genres. This is a vital distinction to make.) When I worked at Andrea Brown, this was definitely our MO. Since we all specialized in ALL children's categories, from picture book to young adult, we took on clients writing for multiple audiences with the full confidence that we would be able to pitch their picture books as well as their gritty YA (as long as all were done very well, of course, per this previous post on the topic). Now at Movable Type, I also expect to be a writer's only children's agent because I am the only person at the agency doing children's books.
The reasons for this are many, but the biggest one boils down to ownership. Suppose you have a picture book agent, a chapter book agent, and a middle grade agent for your work and you write well in all three categories. (This is a pie in the sky scenario, used only as an example, and extremely unlikely.) What if you are working on a picture book property with an agent and they've invested a lot of revision and time. You go out on submission. All the editors say, "Wow, this is great, but it should really be longer and a chapter book." Or you've written a middle grade and worked on it with your MG agent, and all the editors say, "Gee, this rocks, but your voice is a bit young. Can you age it down and make it a chapter book? We'd love to see it again!"
Who gets the credit (read: compensation)? Your picture book or middle grade agent did a lot of work on the project and therefore they have a lot invested in selling the property and earning commission on it. But if you also have a chapter book agent, they would be the agreed-upon choice for selling the chapter book side of your portfolio. Again, this is a silly example, but you can see how easily you'd slip into a gray area and pit your agents against one another if you had separate representatives for each category.
My rule of thumb is that, if you write for multiple audiences, you need to seek a representative from the get-go who is confident in their abilities to submit to editors in all your desired categories, and, most importantly, who LOVES YOUR WORK in each category. If they are crazy about the YA and not the PBs, but you have your heart set on writing both, it might be very difficult to walk away but it might save you some heartbreak down the line (them saying, "I just took you on for this YA and, really, I don't know if these PBs will go anywhere.") They might be totally correct in their assessment, but you had your heart set on being a PB author as well as a YA author, so that might leave you in a tight spot.
The only time when I think it's okay to have multiple agents is if, for example, you also write adult (and you can have an adult book agent either at the same agency or a different one) or screenplays (another agent or manager there). Those divisions are much clearer than the divisions between kidlit categories. As long as all agents know about one another and each agency contract is written in such a way that permits you to have other representation, I don't see that being a problem. But within children's books–a very tiny world where all the editors usually acquire for multiple audiences and everyone knows one another–it could get really hairy, fast.

Anti-Piracy Group Threatens Pirate Party With Criminal Charges For Hosting The Pirate Bay
from the well,-that-could-get-interesting dept
The party is figuring out how to respond. They note that, given how the original TPB trial played out, even if they believe they're strongly in the right under the law, the courts seem to toss all logic out the window as soon as someone mentions "but, piracy!" So they are reasonably concerned that a fair trial on the merits of the case would not come from this. However, it would certainly be an interesting trial, and might certainly call more attention to the issues that go beyond just the initial TPB trial. This is clearly getting into significant questions about secondary liability, especially over products that have significant non-infringing uses, and where the site itself is not hosting any of the infringing content. The whole thing remains a witch hunt by people who don't seem to understand the technology. A lawsuit against a political party may serve to highlight just how crazy this witch hunt has become.
In the letter, which also targets bandwidth provider Serious Tubes, the group cites last year's Supreme Court rejection of The Pirate Bay case as a precedent that hosting providers can be held liable for providing Internet services to file-sharing sites.
"With that decision, it was finally determined that not only those who operate illegal file sharing services, but also the Internet providers to such illegal services are committing a criminal act," the Rights Alliance writes.

GoodRx API Overview
Currently, GoodRx offers 5 public APIs as well as additional data feeds:
- The Fair Price API
- The Low Price API
- The Price Comparison API
- The Drug Info API
- The Drug Search API
- Drug Data
The Fair Price API
This price represents the maximum price that a consumer, with or without insurance, should pay for this drug at a local pharmacy.
If you're interested, here's more details. Pharmacies offer a "sticker" (they call them "usual and customary" or "U&C") prices which an uninsured consumer will pay if they have no other available discounts. They also offer a variety of lower prices for the exact same drug, but to get them, consumers need to have insurance or take advantage of available discounts, membership programs, or price-matching policies. Our "fair price" is a price that you can use as a guide to know the maximum amount you should be paying - meaning, if you're being charged more, you should use GoodRx to search available discounts and lower your price.
The fair price drug API provides high-level cost guidance around a specific prescription drug. At it's most basic, this API provides a single fair price for the most-prescribed form, dosage and quantity of a specific drug.
Use Case:
You want to provide guidance on the approximate cash price of Lipitor. GoodRx knows that the most popular form of Lipitor is 30 tablets of atorvastatin 20mg; thus, the API returns the lowest price for that specific combination.
However, you may also modify your query to ask for a specific prescription drug form, dosage, brand or generic version, and/or quantity.
Use Case:
You want to display the lowest price for brand-name 40mg Lipitor tablets only.
The Low Price API
The Low Price API provides the lowest cash price for a given prescription drug from a basket of nationwide pharmacy chains, including Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, RiteAid, and others. (These chains represent more than 80% of retail drug purchases in America.)
Like the Fair Price API, a request can be made for either the most-prescribed version of that drug, or you may specify the drug form, dosage, brand or generic version, and/or quantity.)
The Price Comparison API
The Price Comparison API provides the 3 lowest cash prices for a given prescription drug from a basket of nationwide pharmacy chains, including Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, RiteAid, and others. (These chains represent more than 80% of retail drug purchases in America.)
Like the other APIs, a request can be made for either the most-prescribed version of that drug, or you may specify the drug form, dosage, brand or generic version, and/or quantity.)
What Is A Cash Price?
The GoodRx "cash price" is a price that a person without insurance (or choosing not to use their insurance) would receive at the pharmacy. Many of the prices we provide will reflect discounts that a cash-paying consumer can receive through a free drug discount program, a pharmacy discount program/club, a generic drug program or other product. More information on how a consumer can buy at that price can be found on GoodRx, which is why it is imperative that the price include a link back to GoodRx for the consumer to learn how they can actually purchase their prescription for that price at the pharmacy.
The Drug Info API
This service provides form and dosage options for drugs on GoodRx.
For when you need to specify the dosage or form of the drug you want to display low prices for, you can use the Drug Info API to retrieve the available options on GoodRx. Since dosages and forms can be represented in so many ways, this API will take the ambiguity out of guessing what's available and allow you to show all options for easier construction of the price calls available on the GoodRx API.
The Drug Search API
This service queries the GoodRx drug database for the names of drugs available for pricing.
Let's face it, there are sometimes 10 different ways to spell the name of a medication, ranging from the most medically specific to the common abbreviation for generic. The Drug Search API allows you to find the way the GoodRx API represents/spells the drug. Simply send it a string and the API will return the top five suggestions based on how close the query is to the name we use. You can even use it as a spell checker, for example changing "Liptor" to "Lipitor".
Drug Data
In addition to the APIs, we sometimes offer access to our data. If you would like to learn more, please contact us at email@example.com
OK, I Want To Use Your API.
First, read our API Terms of Service and Branding Requirements. Then, apply for an API key. By applying for an API key, you represent that you have read and agree to comply with the API Terms of Service and Branding Requirements.
You'll find guidance and support in our API Documentation section.
If this all sounds too complicated, check out our widgets or contact us.

We thought the official Facebook application was launching last month, but it never appeared. That was until today, when it quietly rolled out to the Android Market. Android users can finally download version 1.0 of Facebook for Android.
I've played with the app briefly and it looks pretty nice. I'm not a heavy Facebook user so I will have to use the app for awhile to check out all the features. The app comes with a widget, but the size is huge (3×2) and takes up half the screen.
If you are a heavy Facebook user, check out the app and let us know how it stacks up against all the unofficial clients.
Update: So people are still questioning if this is official or not. The app looks real, but the dev info looks a little weird. Guess we will find out later today.

Mar 10, 2014
Philadelphia – The UMBC women's tennis team fell late Sunday evening to Drexel, 4-3, ending their three-match winning streak. The Retrievers move back to .500 (5-5) on the season, while the Dragons improved to 8-2 for the year.
Singles matches were played first, and the games were split, 3-3, between the teams. No. 1 freshman Olga Baikulova (Vladikavlcaz, Russia) handled her opponent, 6-1, 6-3. UMBC lost at positions 2, 3, and 4 in close matches. Sophomore Madlena Kurasz (Zlotoryja, Poland) and senior Josefin Strange-Jonsson (Vasteras, Sweden) won at the No. 5 and No. 6 positions respectively, Kurasz triumphed 6-3, 6-3, and Strange-Jonsson won 6-2, 6-4, meaning the doubles point would clinch the match.
In doubles play, Bowsher/Pivonka of Drexel defeated Kurasz/Berghaus, 8-3. Dolashvili/Strange-Jonsson lost a tough set (8-6) to Coria/Winkler, clinching the match for Drexel.
The Retrievers will head west for their Spring Break to play a series of three matches against Nevada, Seattle, and Sacramento State. Their next home match will be Friday March 28th, when they host the Saint Joseph's Hawks.

If you're into such stuff (like a global "Massively Multiplayer Online Virtual Reality") and if you still fondly remember all the games (pen & paper/arcades/consoles) you've played in '80s - I highly recommend it. Also, it is directly related to the topic of "escapism" (something which was also recently discussed in TR forums), so if you're also into such topic - you might also find it interesting to read.

New Car Review Video
2014 Chevrolet Impala: 5 Reasons to Buy - Video
Until recently, Chevy's full-size Impala sedan was best known for being the "large car" upgrade at the airport rental counter. But if you think the all-new 2014 Chevrolet Impala is just more of the same, you're in for a serious surprise. They really sweated the details this time, from the boldly upscale exterior to the completely reinvented interior. We've got five reasons why the Impala is one of the best sedan values on the market.
Classic Cruiser
The Impala technically isn't in the luxury-sedan category, but you wouldn't know it from the way it rolls. On the highway, it's quiet and cushy like American cars used to be, making 65 miles per hour feel like 45. On rough roads, it stays smooth and composed. It's a premium ride without the premium price. This is what nice cars used to feel like, and we're glad to see that classic American sensibility coming back.
Limolike Accommodations
Now that Lincoln's stopped making the Town Car, airport limo companies should consider the Impala. The back seat is enormous, providing NBA-sized legroom and ample headroom, too. And the trunk is one of the largest in any car, measuring a colossal 18.8 cu ft. Whether you're carrying people, cargo or both, the Impala's got you covered.
Strong V6
The Impala V6's 0-to-60 time is a decent 6.8 seconds, but that doesn't tell the whole story. When you unleash all 305 horsepower to merge or pass, the acceleration feels endless -- it's more like a V8 than a V6. If you like a little extra in reserve, you're going to love this tried-and-true motor. And the trusty 6-speed automatic is always at the ready with slick, responsive shifts.
Surprising Fuel Economy
The big V6 is actually great on gas at 28 miles per gallon on the highway, but the base 2.5-liter 4-cylinder is even better, delivering 31 mpg hwy. If that's not enough, the e-Assist mild hybrid model gets an amazing 35 mpg hwy. That's almost as frugal as an economy sedan. Still, many folks will want the old-school grunt of the V6, so it's a real bonus that even the most powerful Impala remains respectably fuel-efficient.
Revamped Dash With Modern Tech
The previous Impala's dashboard looked like it was built in 1986, but this one's thoroughly up-to-date. Materials quality is much improved, and check out the cool blue light strip that wraps around the dash and doors. Not bad for what used to be a boring rental car, right? Available technology includes a colored driver information display and the intuitive MyLink infotainment touchscreen with smartphone integration. Just because the Impala cruises like a classic doesn't mean it's behind the times inside.
AutoTrader Says
If there was a "most improved" award, the new 2014 Chevrolet Impala would win it hands down. This isn't a goofy airport special anymore; it's one of the best large sedans you can buy.

This chapter provides information on how to test your ADF skin, package the completed ADF skin in an ADF Library JAR, and configure an ADF application so that it uses the completed ADF skin.
This chapter includes the following sections:
Section 10.1, "About Applying a Finalized ADF Skin to an Application"
Section 10.3, "Packaging an ADF Skin into an ADF Library JAR"
Section 10.4, "Applying an ADF Skin to Your Web Application"
After you create an ADF skin where you define style properties for one or more ADF skin selectors, you may want to test the changes that you make in the ADF skin. Once you complete testing the changes in your ADF skin and are satisfied with the final ADF skin, you can package the ADF skin and associated files (images, resource bundles, and configuration files) into an ADF Library JAR to distribute for inclusion to the application projects that use the final ADF skin. Once you have distributed the final ADF skin, you configure the application to apply the ADF skin to it.
Once you have created an ADF skin and defined style properties that you want for one or more selectors, you may want to test how these style properties render at runtime in a browser. To do this, you apply the ADF skin to your application and run a page that renders the ADF Faces component which exposed the selector.
Consider using tools, such as Firebug for the Mozilla Firefox browser (or similar for your particular browser), when you run your application. These tools provide useful information that can help you as you iteratively develop your ADF skin. For example, in addition to inspecting changes that you have already made, these tools can help you identify the ADF skin selectors that correspond to a particular DOM element.
You can also configure context initialization parameters in the
web.xml file of your application that allow you to:
View changes in an ADF skin without having to restart the application
Set the value of the following context initialization parameter to
Display the full uncompressed CSS style class name at runtime
Set the value of the following context initialization parameter to
Note that not all changes that you make to an ADF skin in your Fusion web application appear immediately if you set the
CHECK_FILE_MODIFICATION to
true. You must restart the Fusion web application to view changes that you make to icon and ADF skin properties.
For more information about context initialization parameters, see the "ADF Faces Configuration" appendix in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Web User Interface Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.
Figure 10-1 demonstrates how the name of a style class (
fndGlobalSearchCategory) defined in an ADF skin, and applied to an ADF Faces
commandLink component using the component's
styleClass attribute, is compressed when it renders in a browser.
Figure 10-2 shows how the browser renders the full uncompressed name of the style class and the ADF Faces component when you set the
DISABLE_CONTENT_COMPRESSION parameter to
true. In Figure 10-2, the uncompressed style class
af_commandLink corresponds to the
af|commandLink selector documented in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Tag Reference for Oracle ADF Faces Skin Selectors.
The uncompressed style classes that correspond to the pseudo-elements that an ADF skin selector exposes can also be identified. For example, the
tab-end pseudo-element exposed by the
af|panelTabbed selector (
af|panelTabbed::tab-end) translates to the uncompressed
af_panelTabbed_tab-end style class at runtime.
Similarly, changes that you make to the appearance of a component when it is in a specific state can also be identified or inspected using browser tools. For example, the following entry in the source file of an ADF skin allows you to define the style for the ADF Faces
panelTabbed component when a user selects the right-hand side of the component:
af|panelTabbed::tab:selected af|panelTabbed::tab-end
At runtime, the uncompressed style class name translates to the following:
.af_panelTabbed_tab.p_AFSelected .af_panelTabbed_tab-end
Note that
:selected translates to
p_AFSelected although sometimes the generated CSS does not have a
p_AFSelected equivalent because some browsers have built-in support for that particular state, as is the case for other pseudo-classes like
It is recommended that you only customize the ADF skin selectors, pseudo-elements, and pseudo-classes documented in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Tag Reference for Oracle ADF Faces Skin Selectors and the Oracle Fusion Middleware Data Visualization Tools Tag Reference for Oracle ADF Faces. Customizing other ADF skin selectors may result in unexpected or inconsistent behavior for your application.
You set the
CHECK_FILE_MODIFICATION and
DISABLE_CONTENT_COMPRESSION context initialization parameters to
true in the
web.xml file of your application.
To set parameters for testing your ADF skin:
In the Application Navigator, double-click web.xml to open the file.
Add the following context initialization parameter entries and set to
Save and close the
web.xml file.
Entries appear in the
web.xml file for your application, as illustrated in Example 10-1.
<context-param> <param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.CHECK_FILE_MODIFICATION</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </context-param> <context-param> <param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.DISABLE_CONTENT_COMPRESSION</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </context-param>
Changes that you make to a selector for an ADF Faces component (other than changes to icon and skin properties) render immediately when you refresh a Fusion web application's page that renders the ADF Faces component. Using Firebug if your browser is Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome's developer tools, you can see the uncompressed style class names that render at runtime and establish what ADF skin selector it corresponds to. Remember that setting
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.DISABLE_CONTENT_COMPRESSION to
true incurs a performance cost for your Fusion web application so set it to
false when you finish testing your changes.
You can deploy an ADF skin and associated files (for example, image files, configuration files, and resource bundles) in an ADF Library JAR. This enables you to package files required to apply an ADF skin to an application. The benefits of packaging ADF skins into an ADF Library JAR as compared to bundling them into the application are the following:
An ADF skin can be deployed and developed separately from the application. This also helps to reduce the number of files to be checked in case some changes must be applied to the ADF skin.
The source files for an ADF skin and images can be separated into their own ADF Library JARs. Therefore, you can partition the image base into separate ADF Library JARs, so that not all files have to be deployed with all applications.
Create an ADF Library JAR file deployment profile to package the ADF skin into an ADF Library JAR.
To create an ADF Library JAR file deployment profile:
In the Application Navigator, right-click the project that contains the ADF skins and choose Deploy > New Deployment Profile.
In the Create Deployment Profile dialog, choose ADF Library JAR File in the Profile Type dropdown list.
Enter a name for the deployment profile in the Deployment Profile Name input field and click OK.
Review the options in the Edit ADF Library JAR Deployment Profile Properties dialog that appears. For more information at any time, click Help.
Click OK.
To package an ADF skin into an ADF Library JAR:
In the Application Navigator, right-click the project that contains the ADF skin and choose Deploy > deployment, where deployment is the name of the ADF Library JAR file deployment profile.
In the Deploy dialog Deployment Action page, click Next and then click Finish.
An ADF Library JAR file is written to the directory specified by the deployment profile. This ADF Library JAR contains the source file for the ADF skin, the
trinidad-skins.xml file, image files, and any resource bundles that you created to define resource strings or to override the default strings defined for ADF Faces components. The ADF Library JAR file also contains other files from the ADF skin's project not related to skinning.
Example 10-2 shows the directory structure for a project that contains the following items for an ADF skin:
trinidad-skins.xml file
An image file (
sort_des_ena.png) copied into the ADF skin project
The source file for an ADF skin (
An .sva file (
oracle.adf.common.services.ResourceService.sva) that is used to inspect the content of the ADF Library JAR when you import it into a project, as described in Section 4.7, "Importing ADF Skins from an ADF Library JAR."
A resource bundle (
skinBundle.properties) that contains string values to override strings from the default resource bundle
For information about how to specify resource bundles that contain string values you define, see Section 7.2.1, "How to Specify an Additional Resource Bundle for an ADF Skin."
Example 10-2 Directory Structure for an ADF Library JAR Containing an ADF Skin
ADFLibraryJARRootDirectory +---META-INF | | MANIFEST.MF | | oracle.adf.common.services.ResourceService.sva | | trinidad-skins.xml | | | +---adf | | \---skins | | \---skin1 | | \---images | | \---af_column | | sort_des_selected.png | | | \---skins | \---skin1 | skin1.css | +---resources | skinBundle.properties | \---WEB-INF faces-config.xml
The directory paths for images in the ADF skin that appear in the ADF Library JAR are modified to include the directory path from the ADF skin project. Example 10-3 demonstrates an example of the changes that occur:
Example 10-3 Modified Directory Path for Images in a Deployed ADF Skin
// Reference to an image in an ADF skin prior to deployment to an ADF Library JAR
background-image: url("images/af_column/sort_des_selected.png");
// Reference to an image in an ADF skin after deployment to an ADF Library JAR
background-image: url("/adf/skins/skin1/images/af_column/sort_des_selected.png");
You configure an application to use an ADF skin by specifying values in the application's
trinidad-config.xml file. You specify a value for the
<skin-family> element that identifies the ADF skin family the application uses at runtime. If you created more than one ADF skin in the skin family, you can version these ADF skins, as described in Section 4.5, "Versioning ADF Skins." If you versioned multiple ADF skins in the same skin family, use the
<skin-version> element to identify the specific version that you want the application to use.
Note that you can also configure an application page for your end users to dynamically select the ADF skin that they want the application to use. For more information, see the "Enabling End Users to Change an Application's ADF Skin" section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Web User Interface Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.
You apply an ADF skin to an application by modifying the application's
trinidad-config.xml file. You do this by editing the application's
trinidad-config.xml file to specify the ADF skin family to use. Alternatively, you can select the ADF skin family from a list in the ADF View options of JDeveloper's Project Properties dialog.
To apply an ADF skin to an application:
In the Application Navigator, double-click the
trinidad-config.xml file to open it in the source editor. By default, this file is in the Web Content/WEB-INF node.
In the
trinidad-config.xml file, write entries to specify the value of the
<skin-family> element and, optionally, the
<skin-version> element as shown in Example 10-4.
The values that you specify for the
<skin-family> element and, optionally, the
<skin-version> element in the
trinidad-config.xml file determine the ADF skin that the Fusion web application uses at runtime, as shown in Example 10-4.

A meeting between the CEOs of two of the world's biggest tech companies to resolve a legal dispute which currently comprises some 50 lawsuits across 10 countries has been set for May 21 and 22.
According to a post by Florian Mueller on patent specialist blog Foss Patents, the meeting between Apple's Tim Cook and Samsung's Choi Gee-sung will take place in a San Francisco courthouse and be overseen by Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero.
Mueller says Spero was chosen to be present at the talks because he is not personally involved in the legal dispute between the two companies.
Spero has requested that both parties provide him with a settlement statement by May 9 that should include "a candid evaluation" of the parties' likelihood of prevailing on the claims and defenses.
"I think this is wishful thinking because the parties won't really say that any of their claims are legally weak," Mueller wrote in his post.
The two CEOs, together with their chief lawyers, will try to find a solution to an ongoing patent-related legal dispute that began in April 2011 when Apple accused the South Korean electronics company of "slavishly" copying elements of the iPhone and iPad in the design of its Galaxy line of mobile handsets and tablets.
Samsung subsequently shot back with legal action of its own, claiming the Cupertino company's iPhone infringes 10 of its patents. Since then, lawsuits between the two companies have been springing up across the world – around 50 in 10 countries to date.
While neither company will want to give too much ground, Apple boss Tim Cook recently appeared to indicate that he was keen to make progress when in a conference call with analysts he said he "hates" litigation and that he'd "highly prefer to settle than to battle" when it comes to lawsuits concerning his company.
His approach appears to be in stark contrast with that of his predecessor, the late Steve Jobs, who told his biographer he was prepared to "go thermonuclear" with rivals he considered had done wrong.
With only two days of talks scheduled, it's hard to believe any kind of full settlement will be reached when Tim Cook and Choi Gee-sung meet, but the encounter could turn out to be an important stepping stone towards resolving a costly, time-consuming and potentially damaging dispute which both companies can well do without.

NEW ORLEANS — Kyle Williams can't believe the New York Giants weren't punished by the NFL for targeting him in last year's NFC Championship Game.
NEW ORLEANS — Kyle Williams can't believe the New York Giants weren't punished by the NFL for targeting him in last year's NFC Championship Game.
The punt returner whose mistakes cost the 49ers a chance to make the last Super Bowl, and who will miss Sunday's game against Baltimore with an injured left knee, said Wednesday he is "shocked" that the Giants escaped discipline.
"The only thing crazy to me was that nothing came of it after they came down so much on the Saints," Williams said.
"The league announced the bounties and that (former Saints defensive coordinator) Gregg Williams said the same things the Giants were saying. They took it to the highest level they could with the Saints. But it seemed like the league decided it was no big deal what the Giants said."
What Giants special teamers Jacquian Williams and Devin Martin said after New York's 20-17 overtime victory sounded similar to what the Saints were sanctioned for.
"The thing is, we knew he had four concussions, so that was our biggest thing was to take him out of the game," said linebacker Jacquian Williams, who forced the 49ers returner's overtime fumble, which set up the winning field goal.
Thomas recovered both errors — the first was considered a muff when the ball glanced off Williams' right knee.
"He's had a lot of concussions," Thomas said. "We were just like, 'We've got to put a hit on that guy.'"
The NFL did not punish either player following that game, saying, "There was no conduct by the Giants of any kind that would suggest an effort to injure Kyle Williams in any way."
And the Giants were not penalized once the Saints bounties were announced.
"Guys are trying to put guys out of the game every game, so it did not surprise me," Kyle Williams said. "You know a guy has a history of injuries, you'll go after it. You might not say it, but you do it."
But the Giants said it.
"Yeah," Williams said with a shrug. "But it's all in the past now. And we're at the Super Bowl."
The Giants declined to comment Wednesday.
