Some of my happiest childhood memories are of colouring Easter eggs. I remember my mother, ever the perfectionist, arranging the table meticulously before we started - first with layers of newspaper, then a bowl for each colour, then a spoon for each bowl and kitchen paper under each spoon to dry the eggs on. Everything had to be just so. I don't think you understand dear readers, my mother took perfectionism to another level, one I have never seen in anyone before or since.
Here's another example: for friends birthdays, my mother would wrap the presents. But we're not talking normal wrapping here, oh no. She would set aside an afternoon, clear up the dining table and lay it out with all the things she would need: wrapping paper, scissors, pencils, rulers, ribbon etc.
She then started by placing the gift in the middle of the wrapping paper, and traced out with a pencil exactly where to cut and fold each side of the wrapping paper. She would do the same with the ribbon and the sticky tape. It took her hours to wrap one present. Now, some people would say she was insane, as, let's admit it, most perfectionists are, but let me tell you, when that gift was wrapped, it was the most beautiful thing you would have ever seen. You wouldn't want to open it, and I didn't realise this until much later in life, but the wrapping was the actual gift, not what was inside.
And please remember, she did this for 8-12 year olds - all that time, all that effort, ripped to shreds in 2 seconds without a care in the world for how the gift was wrapped. But that's just the kind of person my mother was, it didn't matter who, what, where, when or how, it had to be *perfect*.
Having said that, my mother would be absolutely appalled at the lack of perfection on this blog!
Back to colouring Easter eggs, I'm not sure, but I think it's a very German thing. I haven't come across it as much here in London, where it seems more traditional to make and buy chocolate eggs. But in Germany, it's all about colouring eggs. Bruce had never coloured eggs before either, so we set aside an evening on the weekend to do just that. Not only did it bring back so many lovely memories for me, but it was so much fun watching Bruce get all excited about it too.
If you're interested in finding out more, I found this website that shows the whole range that I grew up with, but doesn't seem to sell any. I did however find this website that does sell one of the full packs in the range. I got mine from the food halls in Harrods earlier in the week, not that I like shopping there, I actually try to avoid it if I can, but just because I know that they are one of the few places that sells them in London.
Failing that, another tip I've been told (but haven't tried) for colouring eggs is that you could dilute 3-5 drops of good food colouring (preferably paste) in 1/4 litre (250ml) of cold water, add two tablespoons of white vinegar, and dye your boiled eggs in them (while the eggs are still hot) for about 5 minutes, or until your desired shade is achieved.
I also found this website that tells you how to dye eggs naturally, something I'll be doing from next year.
On the first day of Spring last Saturday, my florists' stalls were overflowing with the most gorgeous range of daffodils, and the queue was longer than I've ever seen. It did help that it was such a bright and sunny day. And as I'm not only celebrating Easter, but the arrival of Spring and this, my 100th post on this blog, I went wild and bought a whole armful of daffodils and forsythia - nothing says spring to me more than those two flowers. There's also something about brioche that makes me think of Spring, so I've made some chocolate cinnamon brioche rolls too.
A reader sent me a lovely long email (the best kind) last week and pointed out that I seem to be going through a yellow phase at the moment, not that there's anything wrong with yellow: the lemons in my lemon polenta post, the freesias in my pear clafoutis post, the mimosas in my chocolate macaron post, and now the daffodils, forsythia and eggs in today's post. How hilarious - I didn't even notice.
What can I say? It's been a very long, grey winter!
Now, are you ready for this week's giveaway? It's another biggie!

Chocolate Cinnamon Brioche Rolls Recipe (printable version)
For the starter:
7g dry yeast
2tsp sugar
3tbs milk
A few pinches of flour
For the dough:
6 eggs
100g caster sugar
100g light brown muscavado sugar
500g flour
1tsp salt
50ml milk
250g butter
100g milk chocolate
100g dark chocolate
50g brown sugar
Some powdered cinnamon
100g butter, melted
1. For the starter, mix the milk with the sugar and stir in the dry yeast. Add a few pinches of flour and leave to stand for 5 minutes.
2. Whisk the eggs and sugars in a separate bowl, then add the yeast mixture and mix well.
3. Add the salt to the flour and mix the flour into the egg mixture.
4. Add the milk to the mixture and mix well.
5. Add the butter one tablespoon at a time and incorporate properly.
6. Allow the mixture to rise for 2 hours.
7. Deflate the dough by pounding it with well-floured fists. The dough will be very sticky at this point and this is normal. Cover with cling film and place dough in refrigerator overnight (you can keep the dough refrigerated at this stage for 3-5 days).
8. Roll the dough out on a well-floured surface. If the dough is still too sticky, add a good sprinkling of flour to thicken it. Keep adding flour until it doesn't stick. Roll into a sheet of about 30cmx20cm.
9. Melt both chocolates over a water bath and spread over the rolled out dough. Sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar and cinnamon.
10. Starting from the side furthest away from you, tightly roll the dough towards you.
Cut the roll into roughly 5cm rounds. Place the rounds in rectangular cake tins. The amount of rounds you place in your cake tins depends on the size of your cake tins. Brush with melted butter and allow to rise for about an hour.
11. Preheat the oven to 180˚C. Bake the brioche for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Serve upside down as a loaf or gently break the individual rolls apart. Serve with chocolate spread
Chocolate nests recipe (printable version)
100g rice krispies
100g milk chocolate
100g dark chocolate
75g butter
3tbs golden syrup
1. In a large, non-stick pan, melt both chocolate bars with the butter and golden syrup. Mix well.
2. Add the rice krispies into the pan and stir, coating everything evenly.
3. Spoon 5 mounds onto a tray lined with baking paper or a silicone sheet. Form a dip in the centre.
4. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until set. Peel the nests off, fill with chocolate eggs and serve.

Top 10 Cheap & Best Buffet in Chennai with Lunch & Dinner Restaurants
Chennai is a good location to taste the food of south India which includes Hyderabadi, Kerala, Chettinadu, Kannada and Fish varieties. But if you want to taste everything under one roof, then buffet is the best choice. Best buffet in chennai usually has starters, a welcome drink, main course and perhaps lot of dessert. Sunday brunch in star hotels and certain premium restaurants are aimed at spreading the taste of someof their popular dishes for a larger audience.
People in chennai often want to find a best buffet dinner in chennai compare to lunch buffets. Most of them want likes cheap and best buffet in chennai for lunch or dinner we have listed top 10 good buffets in chennai with it's prices READ THIS LIST ONE BY ONE FROM NUMBER 10.
Main Street in Residencey Towers, T Nagar is the best Chettinad buffet with lot of non-vegetarian starters. But the main highlight is the Biriyani which attracts many foodies. Green Park which serves a midnight buffet at an attractive price is the last choice for party animals. Saravana Bhavan in Peters road runs the best south Indian vegetarian buffet. They also have a live kitchen which serves hot unlimited dosas.
In the past five years, Barbeque buffet has gained momentum in Chennai. The arrival of Barbeque Nation in T Nagar kicked off a concept unknown to the city, but it took only a few years before buffet lovers thronged the restaurant which has to close doors for customers without advance booking. Live barbeque table has since then become a benchmark for serving buffet. The recently opened Absolute Barbeque in GN Chetty Road has taken the concept further by introducing more varieties of meat.
In the East Coast Road, Basera Restaurant serves prawns, squids and many barbequed starters in a live table. Sigree Restaurant which has branches in Nungambakkam, Adyar and OMR is popular among software professionals. Karaikudi Chettinad restaurant serves cheap buffet, but the items fail to impress. For Pizza lovers, Burgundys sunday brunch is a good choice which serves unlimited pizzas. Rasavid buffet in OMR is good for lunch. However, their signature dishes like chilly fish don't find place in the buffet.

text: Hey everyone. Just picked up a 7100 body after selling my 5100 and its kit lens after 2 1/2 years. I'm now stuck on what lens I should pick up for my 7100. I'm currently left with only the 40mm f/2.8 so I need another lens to go along with my 7100. I'm debating on these 3: Sigma 17-70 2.8-4 C Nikon 16-85 Nikon 18-140 Money isn't a playing factor in deciding between these 3 so it's just really on which one I should get. I'm in New York so my photos are focused mainly on the city and portrait/body shots. I'm not a professional photographer so I don't go to weddings to shoot or anything like that. I travel to places here and there with my girlfriend so I like to have my camera for those occasions as well. I heard the Sigma has some focusing issue with the edge being pretty soft. Heard the 16-85 was rather slow and haven't really heard anything bad about the 18-140 so I'm leaning towards that one at the moment. Would like to hear from you guys what you would recommend. I will be picking up prime lens later next year, I just need a overall good general zoom lens for the time being as I don't want to be stuck with just a focal length if I was to get a prime lens now. I'm someone who likes to take pictures using a zoom rather than having to move my feet to the proper location. I'm also aiming to get the Sigma 18-35 f1.8 but since it's $800 I'll properly hold off til next year. Or should I skip the other lens and just save up for the Sigma 18-35? Heard it's been having some focusing issues so I'm a bit reluctant to get it right now.

South Korean company commits to the Iowa State University Research Park
AMES, Iowa -- Soyzen, a South Korean company that has developed processing technologies to maximize the nutrition of soybean products, will open an office in the Iowa State University Research Park.
The company's lease begins July 1. The company is expected to begin operations with a small staff that will explore the possibility of marketing and producing food products in the United States.
James Bloedel, Iowa State University's vice provost for research, said the company's research park office could grow to include laboratory operations.
The Greater Des Moines Partnership, the Iowa Department of Economic Development and Iowa State University have worked for several years to attract Korean companies to Iowa. Darryl Gosnell, the partnership's executive vice president for economic development; Michael Blouin, the economic development department's director; and Iowa State's Bloedel led the efforts to recruit Soyzen to Iowa. Gov. Tom Vilsack joined the three on a recruiting trip to Seoul last May.
Pulmuone, a Korean food company with operations in Grinnell, was the first company brought to Iowa by the recruiting efforts. Soyzen is the first company to locate in the Iowa State University Research Park.
Bloedel said three other Korean companies are considering operations in the research park.
More information about Soyzen is available at http://www.soyzen.com.

Gapyear.com has relaunched
Booking and finding out about gap years has just become easier than ever before with the relaunch of gapyear.com.
The brand new, sparkly, sexy website you see before you marks a new era in the online home for backpackers.
After months of listening to feedback from you, the users, and a LOT of behind the scenes work, the team is today delighted to reveal what the future looks like for the website.
A major focus has been improving the look and feel of the site. It's been transformed from slightly dated and cluttered to fresh and simple, making it easier on the eye and essentially a more enjoyable place to be.
Another major task has been improving the usability of the site. It's easy to forget sometimes that gapyear.com is 15 years old, which in Internet years places its birth sometime around the Jurassic period. It's fair to say that navigating the website had become tricky to say the least, but all that's changed now with a complete redesign of the site map.
Booking your travels – be it a volunteering placement in Brazil, a party bus around New Zealand, or the next one way ticket to Thailand – has been made ultra-simple with the introduction of the top drop-down menu on the homepage. You simply select what you want to do, and what you're interested in, and we'll do the rest.
The team has also put a lot of work into rebuilding the community side of the site. The blogs and photo galleries have been completely redesigned, making them worthy homes for the excellent content you guys place within them.
If you'd like a more in depth view of the redesign, along with some historical context, take a look at the COO Cormac Scanlan's article: Rebranding and Redesigning Our Site.

Lentil Mushroom Stroganoff
In place of cubed beef, I swapped a mix of baby bella mushrooms and lentils to create a lighter, healthier stroganoff that still offers meaty flavor.
The stroganoff sauce is a simple sauté of mushrooms and onions, along with thyme, lots of garlic, and a healthy splash of brandy, just to keep everyone awake.
A quick addition of sour cream and Greek yogurt enriches the sauce, and all we have left to do is smother, serve, and devour.
- 0.75 cup dry lentils
- 0.5 cup low-fat sour cream
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce (omit to make vegetarian, tasting recipe for extra salt as needed)
- 3 Tbsp brandy (or substitute balsamic vinegar)
- 0.75 tsp black pepper
- 1.25 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- Ounce baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for tossing pasta
- 8 Ounce No Yolks Extra Broad Noodles
- 0.25 cup chopped parsley, plus additional for garnish
- Bring a large pot of water and lentils to a gentle boil. Cover, reduce heat, and let simmer on low until al dente, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, rinse, and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (it is fine to reuse the lentil pot) and cook the noodles until al dente according to package directions, about 8 minutes. Drain, toss with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
- In a deep, wide skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium high. Add the onion and cook until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add the garlic, and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften and give up their liquid, about 5 minutes. Stir in the brandy (or balsamic vinegar) and Worcestershire. Cook for 2 minutes until the alcohol evaporates, then reduce heat to low. Add the reserved lentils and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove completely from heat, let stand 1 minutes, then stir in the Greek yogurt, sour cream, and parsley. Serve warm over noodles, garnished with additional parsley as desired.

The larger destination towns are: La Fortuna and outskirt area (volcano view, lots of restaurants, hot springs, shopping, adventure tours), El Castillo (rustic village on the lake with excellent volcano and night-time lava views), Nuevo Arenal (on the hillside overlooking the lake, hills, and volcanos), and Tronodora (small town on the west end, lake and volcano views, known for windsurfing).
La Fortuna
The La Fortuna area is the most popular area for tourists. The town is on the east flank of the Arenal Volcano, and the main road between town and the lake is sprinkled with hotels and resorts on the picturesque hillside. There are a number of hot springs in this area, and the town is a hub for the adventure tours like whitewater rafting, zip-lining, bungee jumping, rapelling, and hiking.
Right in downtown La Fortuna there are a number of budget hotels under $30 a night, and the outskirts of town offer hotels and resorts with pools and gardens for $60 to $500 a night.
El Castillo
El Castillo is situated near the shore of Lake Arenal, and is on the west side of Arenal Volcano. This rustic small pueblo has a handful of nice hotels and B&Bs. El Castillo is the place to stay to see the amazing nighttime lava flows on Arenal Volcano, as you cannot see the lava from La Fortuna.
It is possible to stay at another hotel in the La Fortuna area, and drive to El Castillo just for the evening. It is about an hour drive from La Fortuna to El Castillo, and the last 8 miles is dirt road.
The Arenal Observatory Lodge, once a volcano research center, is a great place to see the lava activity up close, or take a guided hike through old lava flow areas. The Linda Vista Hotel has a fine-dining restaurant with windows facing the lake and volcano, and Cabinas El Castillo offers cute little cabins with an enormous picture window facing the volcano. The pueblo has an excellent butterfly conservatory and serpentarium. The self-sustaining, eco-friendly resort of Rancho Margo is just 20 minutes past the pueblo, and is also the end of the drivable road on the south side of the lake.
Nuevo Arenal
The small town of "New Arenal" was constructed in the 1970s to relocate Tico families from "Old Arenal" when the reservoir of Lake Arenal was filling with water. Many tourists only pass through one side of town as they drive to the Guanacaste beaches or to Monteverde, but there is a surprising collection of beautiful hotels, B&Bs and restaurants tucked quietly away from the main road.
Most guide books mention Tom's German Bakery, a nice breakfast or lunch spot, and there are a handful of souvenir shops nearby.
Lodging near town can be found at the Aurora Hotel and Cabinas Catalina. Just outside of town you'll find charming boutique hotels like the Gingerbread Hotel and Restaurant, Hotel Lago Arenal, Arenal Springs Villas, the Lucky Bug B&B, and the Lago Cote Eco-Lodge.
Nuevo Arenal to Tilaran
As you continue around the lake, there are a number of hotels sprinkled around the west end. The west end of the lake can be very windy from November to April, and is a favorite spot for windsurfing. The Hotel Tilawa is a popular spot for windsurfers, and offers rentals and lessons. There is also the Hotel Mystica, and Cabinas Los Tucanes.
In the heart of Tilaran there are a number of small hotels, as well.

Adam Brody's Next Acting Role
Former O.C. star Adam Brody and his indie rock band Big Japan bandmates (including Nathanial Castro) take a break from rehearsals and grab a bite to eat on Wednesday in Los Angeles.
On Thursday, Adam, 27, was also spotted at the Wiltern Theatre and shopping for sneakers. The scruffy actor then returned home to take out the trash. Adam finished off his day reading a script for his next acting role while licking away at an ice cream cone.
Adam was spotted getting cozy with Hostel II actress Lauren German last week at the Tower Grove Villa in Beverly Hills.

As a response towards the Syrian regimes' use of chemical weapons in Douma on April 7, USA, France and the UK launched an attack on installations in Syria in the early morning of April 14. Ahead of this, on April 10, Russia used its veto in the UN Security Council to prevent the adoption of an American draft resolution, which would have established and independent UN-mechanism to investigate the chemical attack in Douma. Denmark co-sponsored the American draft resolution.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs says: "The tragic pictures we have seen from the chemical attack on Douma last Saturday underline the Assad regime's deep contempt for human life. Such acts must have consequences. It is unacceptable that Russia, on Tuesday again prevented the Security Council from fulfilling its responsibility in Syria. Therefore, Denmark unconditionally supports the response toward the Syrian atrocities from our allies. We must send a clear signal that the international society does not stand idly by when a brutal regime uses chemical weapons against its own population".

Request Review/Desk/Examination Copy
The Ottoman Empire was unprepared for the massive conflict of World War I. Lacking the infrastructure and resources necessary to wage a modern war, the empire's statesmen reached beyond the battlefield to sustain their war effort. They placed unprecedented hardships onto the shoulders of the Ottoman people: mass conscription, a state-controlled economy, widespread food shortages, and ethnic cleansing. By war's end, few aspects of Ottoman daily life remained untouched.
When the War Came Home reveals the catastrophic impact of this global conflict on ordinary Ottomans. Drawing on a wide range of sources—from petitions, diaries, and newspapers to folk songs and religious texts—Yiğit Akın examines how Ottoman men and women experienced war on the home front as government authorities intervened ever more ruthlessly in their lives. The horrors of war brought home, paired with the empire's growing demands on its people, fundamentally reshaped interactions between Ottoman civilians, the military, and the state writ broadly. Ultimately, Akın argues that even as the empire lost the war on the battlefield, it was the destructiveness of the Ottoman state's wartime policies on the home front that led to the empire's disintegration.
About the author
Yiğit Akın is Assistant Professor of History at Tulane University.
"When the War Came Home is an authoritative social history among the many recent works on the Ottoman experience of World War I. Based on an imaginative array of sources, Yiğit Akın portrays meticulously and eloquently the upended lives of civilians and soldiers in the morass of the Middle East's fateful war."
—Hasan Kayalı, University of California, San Diego
"Yiğit Akın's treatment of the Ottoman homefront represents a critical breakthrough in the study of the First World War. Drawing upon highly original and interesting archival sources, as well as previously untapped published material, Akin vividly depicts the many hardships faced by Ottoman civilians during the course of the conflict. The book's artful prose makes it an engaging read for both students and scholars of the war, adding to its critical value for readers well beyond the field of modern Middle Eastern history."
—Ryan Gingeras, Naval Postgraduate School
"Yiğit Akın has written a pioneering study, examining the long-neglected Ottoman home front during World War I. When the War Came Home illuminates the war's deep social and economic impact on the empire's civilian population."
—Mustafa Aksakal, Georgetown University

Cole Taylor Mortgage (CTM), which has experienced explosive growth in its residential servicing portfolio the past year, is seeking out MSRs packages in the range of $200 million to $500 million.
"That's the sweet spot for us," CTM president Willie Newman said in an interview with ASR sister publication National Mortgage News.
At the end of September, CTM's servicing contracts totaled $6.23 billion, a stunning 815% increase from the same period a year ago.
Newman said that growth has been fueled by CTM's own originations but also purchases of MSRs in the secondary market. The company has been buying from both nondepositories and community banks. "We're buying mini-bulk," said Newman. "In the months ahead we'll continue to buy MSRs."
Among all residential servicers, CTM ranks 46th, according to figures compiled by NMN and the Quarterly Data Report. The lender/servicer, a subsidiary of Cole Taylor Bank, is based in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi has overtaken Lenovo and LG Electronics to become the third largest smartphone vendor in the world, after Samsung and Apple.
Despite only releasing its first smartphone in August 2011, Xiaomi has leapfrogged more established electronics manufacturers and captured a record 6 per cent marketshare during the last quarter, according to Strategy Analytics.
The findings were corroborated by the International Data Corporation (IDC), which revealed in its latest Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker that Xiaomi has experienced triple-digit year-over-year growth in the last quarter.
Key to its success was the launch of its Mi4 smartphone in August, according to IDC, which was positioned as a high-end alternative to the Apple iPhone 5s and Samsung Galaxy S5.
However, both analyst firms pointed out that the company's biggest challenge will be moving beyond its home territories to drive volumes higher.
"Xiaomi's Android smartphone models are wildly popular in the Chinese market and it shifts millions of them every quarter through its extensive online and operator channels," said Neil Mawston, executive director at Strategy Analytics
"Xiaomi's next step is to target the international market in Asia and Europe, where it may face stronger headwinds of low brand awareness and technology-patent challenges next year."

August 1, 2012 – EMC Corp. and laptop maker Lenovo have reached a development and partnership agreement on storage technology and sales that reaches for more of the increasingly data-burdened SMB sector.
EMC will bring resources from its Iomega business and technology to a development and sales venture between the two to provide network attached storage systems to SMBs and distributed enterprise implementations. The two vendors have formed a server technology department to build out Lenovo's x86 servers, which will be embedded into "selected" EMC storage systems "over time," according to Wednesday's partnership announcement. The final link in the deal involves a reseller agreement that brings EMC storage solutions to China-based Lenovo's customers, with eventual global expansion plans in line with the server business development, the release stated.
EMC Chairman and CEO Joseph Tucci stressed the importance of expanding EMC's presence in the "vibrant" Chinese marketplace through the partnership and sales agreement. And the deal capitalizes on what Lenovo called its "aspiration to be a player" in the standard server and NAS markets, one that CEO Yuanqing Yang said in a release would give Lenovo more back-end capabilities for its laptop and PC business.
The move also sets the stage for new data management inroads into China for EMC and teams up two of HP's biggest rivals, albeit in different marketplaces. Last month, Lenovo surpassed HP as the world's biggest PC maker, according to Reuters. EMC has rivaled HP in the storage space for years, with the two most recently trading public data deduplication record claims.
Rival vendors aside, there is a need for new storage options at SMBs, says AberdeenGroup virtualization and storage Senior Research Analyst Dick Csaplar. Csaplar says Aberdeen findings peg SMB storage volumes increasing at about 30 percent annually. EMC sharing Iomega NAS technology with Lenovo shows particular promise for both vendors to address this hyper data storage requirement growth.
"The SMB storage market is underserved and needs sophisticated storage capabilities such as deduplication and tiering," Csaplar says. "If they can't get these sorts of tools, SMB storage costs will double every two years."
The deal includes cash contributed by Lenovo to compliment EMC's Iomega contributions, and Lenovo will hold a majority interest in the new partnership.

What are the differences between Droid and Open Sans? All details on any aspect welcome.
Welcome to Typophile
Please Sign in.
What are the differences between Droid and Open Sans? All details on any aspect welcome.
Open Sans is slightly wider and has a modified I and Q.
To my eye it doesn't feel like it. They are alike in a lot of details, perhaps more than warranted, and definitely hovers on the borderline, but to me it's less of a case than classics like Helvetica/Arial and Frutiger/Myriad. I mean, even such a construction-intrinsic factor as contrast is different.
That of course does not exclude the possibility that one (in the spirit of open source) has borrowed and modified outlines from the other. Open Sans does feel more polished, with better proportions and more even color and application of ideas.
[to follow]
Short version, probably answered elsewhere, what, if any, is the difference between "Free" and "Libre?"
- Free fonts are generally free in price only (as in free beer) but you are not allowed to make modifications, derivatives, etc.
- Some free fonts are free for personal use only, but not for commercial use.
- The source files are usually not shared.
- Libre fonts are free in price too. But they also allow and encourage modifications, derivatives, etc.
- Commercial use is allowed.
- The source files are usually shared, so modifications are easier to make.
I don't understand the point of this discussion. Both fonts were designed by Steve Matteson, no?
Something more interesting would be to see if additional weights or language coverage might have put additional constraints on existing glyphs. When fonts need such modifications, is it not the norm to give a new name? (though it may be less important for web fonts than for text fonts)
Libre = Open-source?
One of these days I'll get this straight. Just not a Monday after a brutal weekend.
And no matter how smart you are, even if you are an experienced player, turning Go into a drinking game is not a good idea. Trust me.
Michel Boyer, I agree. I don't understand the point of this discussion either.
Seems like simple honest questions to me.
The biggest difference I see in letter design is the tail of the Q. Since Droid is a little heavier and condensed it does feel a little more mono-spaced, even though it isn't.
From the wiki on the Droid fonts, I realize that they have a very wide language coverage. The wiki on Open Sans mentions that the design is almost identical to that of Droid Sans, with wider characters and the inclusion of italic variants. Also "Whereas Droid Sans is used primarily in the user interfaces of some Android phones, Open Sans is used in some of Google's web pages as well as their print and web advertisements."
Oh, they're by the same designer? Explains a lot of the similary then. But if you're really interested in the differences, how difficult would it be to knock up something like this in Photoshop in ten minutes? ;)
Lots of small curve changes. Plus Open Sans is slightly lighter, has slightly smaller contrast between thick and thins, and seems to fix some of the annoyances of Droid's. And has an extended-latin character set, an italic and many more weights. :)
Droid was made to work on mobile device, wasn't it? I'm not sure what the reason for Open Sans is.
Both see extensive usage as webfonts and in this capacity they look noticeably different, especially in smaller sizes. Open Sans generally looks and feels lighter and more squarish in glyph shape compared to Droid Sans that looks heavier and narrower. Again, this is in smaller sizes (up to 18px) and on screen.
Sorry, can't comment on headlines. The only one I used was Open Sans Condensed Bold (example) and it looks great only in all caps and up to a certain size. Obviously a subjective opinion, so take it as such.
Open Sans is less finicky when it comes to getting it render well as a webfont kit. You can basically get a .ttf, feed it into the FontSquirrel generator and the kit that comes out will just work. If you do the same with Droid Sans, it will render substantially worse in smaller sizes compared to the version hosted on Google Fonts. This sort of "finicky".
No, Droid Sans was done first, then Open Sans.
For clarification: Droid was first - for Android. Then some folks at Google wanted to extend the style of Droid Sans to help support the corporate brand - however Droid was intentionally made rather narrow for mobile. So OpenSans was made wider, styles were added for branding purposes, yada yada. Naming was all Google's choice, as was Droid Sans being replaced by Roboto in subsequent versions of Android. Hope that settles it :-)
Google owns the data - it was work for hire. They determine license terms.
As far as language coverage: LatinA, Greek, Cyrillic, Viet. You may all be further confused by the re-naming of OpenSans to Noto in Google web fonts. Again not my decision.
Looking at Noto regular, it seems to be just a little bit bolder (14 units in a 2048 UPM) than OpenSans. Has a extended charset (2410 vs 938) and also 'mark', 'mkmk' and 'ccmp' OT features. But discarded the other as 'salt', 'ssXX', 'onum', 'pmun', etc..
What i like about Noto is that it has a true italic for the Sans branch too, not only for Serif.
Since Google renamed Open Sans to Noto, why would they keep Open Sans up in the library?
Also, why is Noto only listed with 4 styles and not the full 10 as Open Sans is listed with?
It might be because Noto has only four fonts: Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic.
It might be because Noto has only four fonts: Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic.
Okay but if Open Sans is Noto Sans, why don't they have equal sets?
Does open sans cover as many languages as Noto sans? Here are the font I just downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/noto/
NotoSans Bold, BoldItalic, Italic, Regular
NotoSansArmenian Bold, Regular
NotoSansDevanagari Bold, Regular

NotoSerif Bold, BoldItalic, Italic, Regular
NotoSerifArmenian Bold, Regular
NotoSerifGeorgian Bold, Regular
NotoSerifLao Bold, Regular
NotoSerifThai Bold, Regular
If not, maybe Noto sans is not open sans.
All things seem to point to Noto coming from Droid.
From what I've watched and read, Google commissioned Steve to create Droid for mobile. Since Droid was narrow, Google commissioned a wider family based on Droid which lead to Open Sans. And from what Steve mentioned above, Noto Sans is just a renaming of Open Sans. But yes, it seems so.
But my question is, why is Noto and Open Sans broken into two and why are there less weights and styles in the library between the two?
Oh, sorry, I had forgotten to download the Noto unhinted fonts. Here is the list
NotoSansAvestan Regular
NotoSansBengali Bold, Regular
NotoSansBengaliUI Bold, Regular
NotoSansCarian Regular
NotoSansCherokee Regular
NotoSansCoptic Regular

NotoSansSymbols Regular
NotoSansTagalog Regular
NotoSansTaiTham Regular
NotoSansTelugu Bold, Regular
NotoSansTeluguUI Bold, Regular
NotoSansUgaritic Regular
NotoSansVai Regular
NotoSerifLao Bold, Regular
I added (regular) for those fonts whose filename does not contain "regular". Of course, that list was generated with a script, except for those "(regular)".
On my box (WinXP Pro with ClearType on), Noto Sans comes across as slightly heavier than Open Sans, at least in the Regular weights. Also, Open has a two-story 'g', Noto a single-story one. Other than that, they are almost twins. But then, Open comes from Ascender and Noto from Monotype... and who again bought Ascender?
However, as far as I can see, Noto Serif is twins with Droid Serif.
Okay but if Open Sans is Noto Sans, why don't they have equal sets?
They are not the same. They look pretty similar where they have common glyphs, but as Impallari said, even those glyphs are not 1:1.
I think of it this way:
Open Sans is a 'print' family, useful for web and print; 9 weights of normal width plus some condensed styles. It covers euro+viet latin, cyrillic and greek.
Noto is a 'screen' family made to avoid the 'no font on this system can display that unicode character' problem. It has 1, 2 or 4 styles per script, has fonts to cover all of Unicode.
It will do, according to https://code.google.com/p/noto - "fonts that support all languages in Unicode" -
