The group
Anonymous has become an increasing headache for the U.S. government and its
allies. After their crackdown on Wikileaks, a band of 4-Chan connected
hackers organized attacks on government and financial institutions. Some members went
as far as to say the group was at "war" with the government of
the United States and Britain.
Now the tie between Anonymous and Wikileaks has grown even stronger, and the
group is posing a headache for another financial institution. Only this
time, rather than a direct attack via distributed denial of service, Anonymous
is assisting Wikileaks,in whistleblowing itself, airing what it feels are
incriminating documents from inside the second largest bank in the U.S. -- the Bank of America.
I. What's in This Latest Leak?
The Bank of America (BAC) emails -- long awaited from Wikileaks –
are finally being released, though it's unclear whether they're the same ones the infamous leaks site originally claimed to have obtained. Published on the site bankofamericasuck.com/,
they are, in theory, available for the entire world to see. The site, however,
was down for much of this morning.
We managed to reach the body of the site via Google's cache. Some of the
images loaded, others didn't. The site counter reported over 950,000 page
views when we arrived (though the site has been active for some time now).Update: We since found the whole archive of the post's images here.
The page contains a wealth of emails posted as PNG screenshots, which include
both correspondence between Anonymous and the leaker and internal emails leaked
from a former Bank of America Unit. An ex-employee at the Balboa
Insurance Group obtained the emails. Balboa is a home insurance company
that was purchased by Bank of America in 1999 from Countrywide.
The unit was recently sold to QBE Insurance, a multi-national insurance
group. Balboa is estimated to be worth $1.7B USD.
The emails detail what seems like suspicious actions at Balboa (and by proxy,
Bank of America).
The unit makes most of its money from placing mandatory insurance policies on
liens, such as home mortgages, farm loans, etc. The insurance policy
increases the amount the mortgage holder has to pay in escrow.
It appears that Balboa was eager to disguise something that was going on.
In emails a supervisor, Jason Vaughn, informs his subordinates to remove
a long list of images from Rembrandt/Track Source -- two databases that the
company used. Mr. Vaughn appeared to be fulfilling a directive from his
The emails were sent in November 2010.
So why did the bank need to delete all these images? Well it's possible
it was for some sort of routine maintenance, but the leaker claims that it was
to prevent the federal government from getting potential proof of wrongdoing on
foreclosed properties.
This indeed seems to be the case based on further comments from Jason Vaughn,
the supervisor. After the documents were unable to be deleted, the team
resorted to removing the numbers from the tracking numbers system to prevent
them from showing up in searches. At this point Mr. Vaughn expresses
misgivings, writing:
I'm just a little concerned on the impact that
this has on the department and company. Why are we removing all record of
this error? We have told Denise Cahen, and there is always going to be a
paper trail when one of these sent documents come back, this to me, seems to be
a huge red flag to auditors...What am I missing? This just doesn't seem
right to me.
Mr. Vaughn voices his concerns to supervisor Peggy Johnson. Given that
the leaker in other emails to Anonymous stated that he had complained about
suspicious activity while working at Balboa, that the leaker could be Mr.
II. Employee Claims Leak Was in Response to Personal Attack by BAC
The disgruntled former employee who leaked the documents claims that the Bank
of America personally attacked him after his firing.
He says the company is like a cult, stating, "If an employee were to speak
up to point out wrongdoing, they're instantly cast out of the circle. I,
for example, was demoted and had my desk moved to a completely different area
so I wouldn't have further contact with the employees on the associate level
and could only have direct contact with management."
The leaker reports that he was then fired and that the filed fake accusations
of terrorism against him. He reports police coming out and forcibly
searching him and his roommate, and encounter that lost him his girlfriend who
reportedly couldn't handle the situation.
He describes, "I'm well known through-out Bank of America. They saw
to that when they show everyone my picture and labeled me as a terrorist.
I want their employees to see what I can prove so they know why that was
done to me. There are a lot of good honest people, and their concerns are
constantly silenced, because it's cheaper and easier to fire people and sweep
their issues under the table than it is to fix the problems."
The employee makes reference to late San Jose Mercury News reporter
Gary Webb; saying that he feared that he would end up like Mr. Webb a victim of
a "suicide". In other words, he felt that the Bank of America
might kill him for what he knew.
He also complains about the bank mailing him a box of his personal belongings
with one of his plants spilling soil out onto his American flag, damaging it.
He asked for compensation for the flag -- apparently an item of personal
value -- but was ignored.
III. Lots of Conspiracy, Little Meat
The Bank of America leaker talks about "proving" to the world and his
former coworkers that Balboa Insurance and the Bank of America were knowingly
committing wrongdoing.
The frustrating part is that the emails in their current form hint at that, but
they offer no concrete proof.
Bank of America acknowledged to Reuters that
the emails were real, but it says the insurance documents referenced were
clerical and administrative documents and not related to
States a company spokesperson, "We are confident that his extravagant
assertions are untrue."
While it's tempting to jump on the conspiracy train, it's possible that Bank of
America is telling the truth -- that the leak was a flight of fantasy by a
paranoid bitter ex-employee. It's possible that the whole situation is
being inflated into something that it isn't.
There is the possibility, however, that the leaker is at least partially
correct -- that there was a cover-up of wrongdoing. If this is the case
it will likely require the retrieval and analysis of the referenced documents.
As those documents may have been compromised, it may be necessary to get
them from a backup source. And additional emails would also be helpful in
supporting the theory.
Ultimately Anonymous/Wikileaks/its insider source may be holding back,
not releasing the full information initially.
Another important question -- regardless of the veracity of the leaker, is the
motives of the individuals involved at Anonymous/Wikileaks with the
publication of this data. Anyone who can get on IRC chats and has basic
computer skills can join up with Anonymous. That someone could be a great
crusader for the truth or a greedy trader looking to manipulate the market by
leveraging the bad news to profit off options trading.
The latter possibility should not be discounted. Anonymous members are exactly
that -- anonymous. And it's possible they're being duped here into
pushing this story for the benefit of some secret organizer. It'd be
virtually impossible to pinpoint such misconduct, as BAC is a huge company thus
is a common target of speculative options.
The news will almost certainly have a deleterious effect on the company's stock
price. If nothing else, it makes the bank look bad -- thuggish. And
the possibility that more damaging material may be yet unpublished also will
likely draw down the stock.
MSNBC was among the news stations that suggested this possibility
early in the story's arc. But this possibility should be readily apparent
to anyone with basic knowledge of the stock market.
IV. What Do We Know?
Is someone profiteering off this release? Was BAC plotting to cover up
foreclosure information and was willing to threaten a former employee to do so?
What is the leaker's real identity? Is BAC/Balboa innocent?
There are no concrete, provable answers to these questions at the
What is clear is that a certain number of internal documents from Bank of
America have been exposed.
And it's also seems highly likely that Anonymous is working closely with Wikileaks or
that Wikileaks' remaining members have joined Anonymous. Wikileaks has been proclaiming for months that it had incriminating information from a major American bank. While it's possible that Anonymous found some of its information on its own, it seems far too coincidental given the intimate connection between many in the Anonymous community and Wikileaks. Many members of the site increasingly appears to be looking to play
"Army" for the troubled whistleblowing organization. This appears to be the latest manifestation of those efforts.
As opposed to past DDoS attacks, "doxing" attempts, and their
less-than-legal ilk, the publications represents what's arguably a change for
the better with regards to the loose entity's pro-Wikileaks campaign.
In this case, it at least published documents that seem worthy of
investigation. While it's possible, as we mentioned, that its members
(and Wikileaks, perhaps) are being duped, its current activity is
arguably more understandable than past outright malicious activities.
If Wikileaks is indeed behind the current publication, this is a promising return to the site's roots.
Among the site's first major breaks was in exposing corruption at Julius Baer.
The current post is labeled "Part #1". One might hope
"Part #2" delivers cold hard evidence. Because there will
need to be a lot more evidence if Anonymous -- or its leaking friend --
hopes to prove anything to the world. The current post by Anonymous teases
at this big conspiracy, but then never provides sufficient proof to fully back
this extremely bitter ex-employee's wild claims. Without that proof, this
leak will become merely another fruitful stomping ground for the ever-present
conspiracy theorists of the world.

While many have pointed to Ken Kutaragi's arrogance (and Sony in general) in regards to the build up leading to the launch of the PlayStation 3, Sony's president has shown some signs of humility due to recent events. Last week, Sony announced that it was delaying its European launch of the PS3 until March of 2007 and that the US and Japan launch would be limited to 400,000 and 100,000 units respectively.
In response to investors and the PlayStation faithful around the world looking forward to the PS3's launch, Kutaragi had this to say, "If you asked me if Sony's strength in hardware was in decline, right now I guess I would have to say that might be true."
There's no way to sugar coat the manufacturing problems associated with producing the blue laser diodes and the low yields of the Cell processor that have plagued the PS3's early production. And one can't overlook Sony's part in the nearly 5 million notebook batteries recalled by both Dell and Apple -- each battery was manufactured by Sony.
The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem. We now just have to sit back and see what Sony does to improve its current situation.

Wine Management tracks wine production from harvest through bottling. As a record keeping system, it tracks history of wine compositions in all detail. It tracks variety, area, year, yield, and taste. Because it accumulates wine lost to processing and updates the yields, you always know the values when it was produced. Quantities processed by work center are kept up to date. Almost any level of inventory is available by month, including any combination of variety, area, year, taste, storage, and others. Tank lineup may prove very profitable with faster processing and reduced cellar cost and crews. It can find the best pipes to use based on either number of pipes, flow, or heat loss.
waitcond is a script to specify a combination of events using boolean expressions over various events. It can periodically grep in files, wait for the (dis)appearance of files or processes, wait for certain CPU/net/disk idle values, or wait for an idle tty. waitcond is meant to be combined with some notification tool or system.
Every five minutes, Tumblefile copies all files on your Desktop to a folder such as ~/Documents/2009-07-July/25-Saturday, prepending a timestamp (like 20090727.1645) to the filename. Meanwhile, its little window sits in the system tray. It is a way to automatically keep your Desktop cleared and files organized.
py-setproctitle is a library that allows a Python process to change its title, as displayed by system tools such as ps and top. Changing the title is useful in multi-process systems, for example when a master process is forked: changing the child's title allows you to identify the task each process is busy with. It is based on PostgreSQL's multi-platform implementation.
Gestures is an object that can recognize user gestures that form configurable shapes. It can listen to events of the user moving the mouse forming known gesture shapes. The object can recognize custom gesture shapes defined by a list of vertex points of the shape. A given callback function is invoked when the object recognizes a known user gesture shape. The object can also draw the gesture shape as the user moves the mouse.

Potential New Moon Script Leak & Other Places I Don't Wanna Go
Yesterday I got wind of a supposed December 2008 draft of the New Moon script floating around, and by now some media outlets are reporting on this widely-Twittered news. As a professed TwiCrack junkie, you *know* I wanna go there (Hi, my name is TwiCrack and I'm an Addict, remember?) and there have been times where I've crossed the line feeding my sick addiction, but I'm just not gonna go there with this one.
So, it's out there. And thanks to everybody who sent it to me and risked turning me into Gollum by taunting me with this *Precious*. You can probably find Precious pretty easily, but I'm not gonna be posting this type of mega-spoiler, which if real, was most definitely ill-gotten.
You know I loves the spoils, but like Midnight Sun, this script is the fishy-type of spoiler that will potentially denigrate my November 20th New Moon experience. I'm already gonna be distracted the first time around comparing the movie to the book, let alone a draft script! To each her own, but this is where I stand on the matter. :)
P.S. I'm hardly a strong person; I have limited will-power and must admit that when I clicked the script open, I nearly couldn't stop myself from devouring it -- kind of like Edward sucking the the venom out of Bella's blood. Can't enable a junkie like me by handing me drugs, you know? hehe

Props to you for resisting the urge! I hope I'm able to do the same! :/ReplyDelete
I'm with you on that. I can't imagine reading an early draft at this point. New Moon is going to be an emotional thing to watch to begin with. It's going to be difficult to sit through it for all kinds of reasons, not the least of which is just waiting for Robward to come back at the end, preferably shirtless. Having a rough draft in my head to compare against, as well as the book itself....would be torture. And if it really sucks, that would kill my next 6 months of New Moon anticipation as well.ReplyDelete
Fellow TwiCrack addicts, i need your help to stay strong! hhehe. Oh, you know it's killing me...i'm SO tempted...and i have to admit, i did read part of it - maybe about 6 pages. it was like...edward feasting on bella's blood - nearly couldn't stop.ReplyDelete
so i'm not that strong...but as i read those first pages, i realized that if the script is real, it was totally ruining all the suspense for me. and if it's really off, then i'm just gonna be so distracted thinking about how the movie isn't like the script.
Don't spoil! There will be enough actual real visual spoilers---clips and teasers and trailers galore, legitimate spoilers---to feast upon in the coming months. STAY STRONG!ReplyDelete
i'm trying, brightredink!ReplyDelete
first step is to admit i have a problem. hehe.
im not going to lie.. i read the first page and then forced my self to stop!! its sooo hard haha we have to all stay strong togetherReplyDelete

not gonna lie read it lol...well not all of it just the main points...definetly different from the book thoughReplyDelete
TwiCrack, you can do this! Like Carlisle said to Edward before he sucked the venom out of Bella's arm "find the will to stop". ha haReplyDelete
Love, love, love your blog.
Cheers much!
Wow, you guys have way more way power than I do. I'm suck a spoilerholic. I think it's good that I never find these things because I'd be in such trouble. Serious kudos to you all and please keep up the great work with this site. It's always such a fun blog to read! Cheers!ReplyDelete
Hheh. i need you guys to be my support group to serve as my 'Carlisle'. heheReplyDelete
I too saw this, and i too am trying (extremely hard) not to look!!! We must be strong together! Safety in numbers and all that jazz!!ReplyDelete
When I first read your comment about "edward feasting on bella's blood" I had to re-read. I thought that was in the script!! lolReplyDelete
Anyways, there are enough pictures and spoilers out there to feed our addictions. Good thing I don't have the time to go searching for a script that I don't know is real script or not.
I'm going to try and resist.ReplyDelete
I managed to resist Midnight Sun, out of respect for Stephenie's wish, until Stephenie put it up on her website --- then I couldn't take it any more and devoured the whole thing (I work time - oops). I keep thinking I can resist this because I know the story (but clearly, I knew the story in Midnight Sun too) --- oh well, going to try my darnedest to resist. I hoping if I can just manage to make it a few days - Summit will get a lot of the links down and then no more temptation. :)
Yes, why control myself when someone can help me do so?
The one thing we can do is alert Summit of download sites, though it's hard -- has spread like a virus across the internet already.ReplyDelete
The core of this is that the posting of this script violates all sorts of copyright laws that I don't really understand -- but basically, we're really not supposed to have access to this.
I have no idea how to reach Summit, but other sites with Summit connections like Twilight Lexicon can probably help. If you do come across a download site, you can help by alerting Summit to get the link removed.
Twi-Crack Addict - you know what always helps me when I'm struggling with temptation?ReplyDelete
Shirtless boys: http://grodansnagel.deviantart.com/art/New-Moon-Jacob-2-121431117
It's an awesome fan-made poster by Grodansnagel - it's helping get me through this tough day! :)
Thank you so much TCA for not posting this. I already regret the tireless Youtube searches I do and the spoilers I endlessly read---it is for real, like crack. I already know what is going to happen from reading the books and I am slowly ruining it for myself.ReplyDelete
Thanks for keeping me honest!
Hi Kat,ReplyDelete
I wish that I could say I was a good person, a good doobie, but I must admit that I've gone pretty far with posting spoilerish stuff on my blog, so perhaps it's hypocritical of me at this juncture to decide that I don't want to share links to the script.
However, as I just wrote to one of my bloggy friends, this isn't a 'whet-your-appetite' sort of spoiler like those DVD extras that just made us crave more (and got us to buy multiple versions of the DVD).
As I was reading the beginning of the script, it was increasingly apparent to me that this particular spoiler is one that -- if real -- is potentially costly to Summit's New Moon production.
This spoiler makes it tougher for Summit to develop and control their marketing messages, puts more pressure on the actors involved, etc.
Yes, "We Shall Overcome" and all that jubbly stuff.ReplyDelete

Man! Today is the one day I wish I hadn't looked at your blog! I'm nowhere near as strong as you guys. I can't even go through a season of TV shows without find some type of spoiler. This is bad! Hopefully I can make it! November is so far away!ReplyDelete

somebody give me the link to that script. Please!!!!!!!! I'm too weak.ReplyDelete
I'm going to resist so that I enjoy the movie hard.ReplyDelete
BUT OH MAN...am I tempted.
- AnonymousMay 5, 2009 at 5:06 PM
I must read it! Where is it. Screw the ruining the experience for me.ReplyDelete
So hard to stay strong!
I read it, and I don't think it's any big deal. I mean, I've read New Moon about five times anyway, so the plot is not ruined in the least for me. Besides, I know there will be changes...I've seen pictures of the filming of Jacob & Bella at the movies, which ISN'T in this Dec. 08 script. I actually couldn't enjoy watching Twilight the first time, because all I could do was compare it to the movie, so at least now I can relax and watch New Moon. Believe me, Summit will still get hundreds of dollars out of me when the movie/dvds come out. All the script has done is made me more excited to see it and see how they'll pull off what's there (if it really is the script, even).ReplyDelete
Oops, I meant I compared Twilight movie to BOOK the first time I watched it.ReplyDelete

Liz and Dom, thanks a lot!
Hi Hilda. I wrote all the scripts that you will find on this site. My name is Lorna Lopez. This is UNOFFICIAL, meaning it's NOT the Melissa Rosenberg script. At the end of each part of the script, I've stated:
Lorna Lopez aka ATwilightKiss Notes This script version is my attempt to reconcile the literary world with the more visual medium of film. Just like in the Lord of the Rings, changes will be made to accommodate a driven story line, time constraints, and attention to character development.
So there you have it - IT IS NOT THE MELISSA ROSENBERG SCRIPT!!!!!!!
TCA, we can do this - like you, I started to read - just to verify it's authenticity, I told myself...ReplyDelete
It's my favourite of the books, because of its anticipation, and I can't spoil the movie for myself for the same reason!
Like the Cullens, we must stay strong and resist!!!
I read it. I kinda think it's the Cliff Notes version of New Moon. I'm not worried that I spoiled anything.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 5, 2009 at 6:47 PM
where can i read the script?ReplyDelete
It's definitely a a rough draft, or something along those lines because they left out some things that are going to be filmed. Like, the proposal and even the character Alec.ReplyDelete
I'm linking to this, fyi, in case you get some extra readers... I agree 100% with everything you say here. I skimmed through it last night and it seems like a super rough draft, missing not only key characters but key scenes as well. It's either sketchy or I'm not going to be a happy camper come November! (How could they leave out the proposal?!)ReplyDelete
Where do I read the script?ReplyDelete
I can tell that it's either not a real script or a rough draft.
The proposal is going to be in the movie. I've heard that they were trying different ways for Edward to ask Bella. They were filming different ways to see which was the best.
mmrm26, I heard about that too. The different ways that he would ask Bella. Definitely a rough draft, which is stated on the script anyways. I believe it said "second draft december 21, 2008". So, there will be many things changed/added. It was great, but some important things were rushed, and left out, so thank god for it not being the final draft.ReplyDelete
Do you have a link?ReplyDelete
Because I have tried the link from that Twitter account and it said that they removed it. So, I didn't get to read it.
Did anybody save it as a document and you can send it to me?
I just wanted to scan through it.

I just had it and clicked it off..... you don't want to read it. I hope that is not the real script, although it does seem like it. I'm not pleased at all... too much has been cut, and too much more has been added. I wish I would have never read it. Be happy is has been deleted, although I'm sure it will be up again soon. I'm not even sure I want to ruin my image of the book by seeing the movie....ReplyDelete
I would post the link, but I don't think think that would be very respectful of me. I go to this site daily, multiple times a day, and I wouldn't want to do something that upsets anyone. So if I get the okay? Personally, I don't feel very spoiled because I know they made lots of changes since that second draft was made back in December.ReplyDelete

I just read the script and I absolutely loved it. In any case it made me even more anxious to watch the movie and desperate for november to come. It is a rough draft anyway because I compared it to the latest trailer where Taylor Lautner is commenting on the movie and not everything on the draft is accurate with the trailer.

Rick - I'll take a look at it. Even though I see it every day, it never ceases to amaze me how small all of thie stuff is getting.
Thanks, Rick. Well, I'm signing off now. Nice chatting with you all. Have a good vacation Max, have a good week, everyone.
Chipworks and iFixit went to Oz to get an iPad Air and tore it down last night. Stuff is on the Web. I just sumarized it in a tighter eet story. Please socialize it
@Rick, you have an iPad air?
Wow. This is really real time, Rick. I can't wait to see the Chipworks iPad Air teardown.
Catching up: any observations on the ARM server news at ARM Tech Con?
OK -- I'm out of here -- see you all on the flip side :-)
Geez, Rich is boarding a plane and I am posting the iPad Air story...talk about live!
@Dunae: Max - Enjoy your vacation!
Thanks Duane -- I'm sooooo looking forward to it :-)
Row 127? That's a big plane.
Max - I'll pop over and check that out when we're done here.
@Rich: Good trip max. Say hi to your mom for me.
Thansk a lot -- you have a god trip also
back in a few...
well, they've called gold and MVP members, I should be next. I'm in row 127J I think
Duane -- David Ashton posted a question for you to answer on my sensor blog...
Max - Enjoy your vacation!
Have a good trip Max. say hello to mother if you can get her to put down the iPad.
Max - I bought a pair of supposedly really easy to use Bluetooth modules from Adafruit. They might be a way to easily connect your robot wirelessly.
Good trip max. Say hi to your mom for me. Not that she knows who the heck I am....
@Duane, I need to figure out hwoto thet that one as an icon next to a headline.
Yep, the boarding queue is forming. I'll be back on in about 10 min. From my iPhone. wifi will get cut off
OK Chaps and Chapesses -- I'm heading out also -- don't get into any mischief while I'm gone!!!
I think I've been hypnotized by the jitter
By Rich
Martin, switch from MCU to SOX
@Rich: Dont see how you can march to that beat, max.
You have to do a lot of warming up exercises first
Impressive Martin. Not very cute, but impressive nonetheless
Oh no, youre the MCU guy. What will I do now?
Have a good flight.
Ah, they're calling pre-boarding. I soon may need to drop off gird for a few minutes.
Feast your eyes on this one.
@Rich: @Max, I guess the answer to my question about seeing all 15 pages of the emoticons is "yes."
Don't waste your time on pages 10 and 11
Dont see how you can march to that beat, max. Cavort, maybe...
@martin: It takes so little to keep Max amused. Agreed?
Well, I can't argue with that -- I'm a man who marches to a different drum beat
If I get the chance when in the Bay area, I'll try to schedule a visit. Thanks for the tip, Martin
Max always remain your charming self. You help me keep smiling at work, which is not always easy.
I think I'm too ADD. I looked at the emoticons, tried to use them incorrectly, got bored, forgot about them and moved on in my head.
@Rich, the Verizon facility is for devices that use Verizon's network for connectivity and that includes IP. They have a test lab where companies can sign up for free testing with Verizon's network. Impressive place.
@martin, I once had a good friend tell me (and only good friends can do this), "Little things content little minds."
@Max, I guess the answer to my question about seeing all 15 pages of the emoticons is "yes."
It takes so little to keep Max amused. Agreed?
MB, LTE is not the only route, though. Several cellular versions will support IP to the end. And that network is already there and available.
IoT: I visited Verizon's east coast design center a few months ago to see some IoT devices. Rick, the other center is in SF. Get in there sometime.
About security and IoT, Green Hills is pushing out their RTOS on phones to run 2 or more Android operating systems so you have the work OS and the personal OS on the same phone. They say it's military-grade. I wonder if the security can be done with a real-time operating system.
Rick, there was a discussion about security that I attended, and the dSTL was often mentioned as a lightweight security protocol.
Martin -- this is all your fault -- you have unleashed the beast within me - I cannot stop with these animated icons
IP to the end devices going wireless is waht LTE is about.
@Martin: I suspect in IoT the next big war is between lo power Wifi and BTLE
Rick, gateways may need to do the heavy lifting of security to protect the small devices that connect to it.
I think ARM Tech Con didn't do enoigh to lay out where are the areas we need standards and how will we layer in security in IoT. They are open questions.
Speaking of prcessing power, I've been speaking with people about things like LTE-A, 802.11ac and the MIMO and beamforming technologies that are being used. The processing power needed is mind boggling.
yes, IP to the end device is part of the push, so that multiple devices can connect to multiple apps in a consistent manner.
Happy Friday!!!
Martin: IoT is indeed a hacker's dream--so much exposed surface area. And an EE nightmare. How to lock down something with such a tiny cost/size/power budget.
Rick, tyere is a lot of push for Java, true. Traditional embedded developers may find themselves in a support role rather than product innovation role for the IoT
The 6LoWPAN folks see softwsare Internet Protocol standards as almost done. I think ARM is pretty closrely alighned there, but not everyone is in that camp
The article talked about hackers using baby monitors to send spam.
Duane, the processor power is what allows the processing overhead to be tolerable. Some of the thinking is that the kinds of optimizations we have to do for 8-bit are simply an impediment to fast time to market, which is the driver for the IoT it seems.
@Rich, I read somewhere that IoT will be a hackers dream so many IP address to hack.
@Martin: Very impressive. You'll never find the time.
Ooooh -- harsh words -- now I know I MUST succeed
@RichQ: Yes sounds like ARM and Oracle are aligning and pushing some of their Sensinode and Java techs forward as IoT foundations
Another IoT note, it seems like security is starting to gain recognition among the development community. They're starting to get the message that it is needed, even for the simplest devices.
It will be ineteresting to see if such standards add much to the processing overhead. I don't think the "death of 8-bit" issues has come close to being concluded yet, but as more processing overhead gets thrown in, the issue may become moot.
@Duane: @duane, contact me offline email@example.com
Duane, don't touch him ... you don't know where he's been! :-)
@Max, I saw what some enginering students were going with those wheels on their senior projects this spring. Very impressive. You'll never find the time.
Yes, the Segars keynote was all about IoT and encouraging colloboration.
@Susan -- here's the link http://www.eetimes.com/author.asp?section_id=36&doc_id=1319967&
@duane, contact me offline firstname.lastname@example.com
@Martin: @Max, now what?
Well, at the moment I'm sitting here cackling and rubbing my hands -- did you want more?
There was a loud message at TechCon about the IoT needing to be standards based and as open as possible. There will be a lot of push for this coming from ARM and its partners, it seems.
Measurement - My plan is to convert everything to I2C. All of the analog sensors will get put on a tiny MCU board. That way I'll have a variety of different sensors all using the same interface. I'll put a bunch of I2C interefaces in the FPGA and talk with all of the sensors simultaneously. That's my plan, anyway. Whetherr I manage to implement it might be another story.
@Susan: It takes the burden off the main chip.
Did you see my blog on sensors and off-loading the main chip from yesterday?
Trying to get iPad Air teardown story and photos up while I chat <whew!>
training wheels, max?
@Max, now what?
Susan, yes it offloads the main chip, especially for things like calibration and compensation. Just saw a press release on a llibrary of functions for turning a magnetometer reading into a reliable compass. More complex than you might at first think.
Hi all
FYI My mega-cool robot wheels have arrived!!! Happy Dance!
@Duane, you might yry an ADC before going throught to FPGA.
Sensor hub, sensor fusion...it's a big trend now to get the sensor data flowing through one hub/chip, right? It takes the burden off the main chip.
I still have the ambition to use an FPGA to combine multiple sensors.
@Susan: Max wrote something about that a few weeks ago I think.
This days it seems like I've written something on almost everything -- it's great when it comes to linking to past articles LOL
max, it was a little more involved. The presentatoin talked about combing information from multiple sensors to overcome the limitations of individual sensors. Tilt to correct magnetic compass. accelerometer to detect when gyro drift is occurring. That kind of thing.
I would have liked to sit in on the sensor fusion talk. Sounds interesting.
@Martin: Scar? I have one from a wave solder machine....
Good grief man -- you got that when you were 17 -- 400 years ago -- let it go for goodness sake :-)
Geez. Sorry to hear it. (Did they get it on film?) Ah the sensor fusion. Max wrote something about that a few weeks ago I think.
@Rich: The term "Sensor Fusion" is hot -- what do you understand it to mean? I take it to mean taking the raw output from multiple sensors and turning it into useful information.
As I said, I went there with an IoT focus and there was little new in that arena for me. The Freescale OneBox I saw at Java One
Yes, susan. While taking of the EMI shield around teh MCU on the Nest, I sliced my thumb
Scar? I have one from a wave solder machine. Got it when I was 17 working on a PCB factory.
One that was interesting to me was the sensor fusion talk by Freescale (it was a sponsored session). Funny thing was, the chip they talked about had a Coldfire core
@Duane: ...I still am not competent enough to use them.
But you are mega-competent when it comes to designing sensor boards -- so that's worth a smile
What! was there live blood letting on stage?
I think I will carry the scar forever
Max - I hope you have a nice, relaxing visit.
The session that stood out the most for me was the thermostat teardown, which also tore down the presenter's thumb. PCBs look good with blood spatter
Oh Martin. You don't want to put another curse on your team so behave.
Duane, you have to click the HTML icon first, then paste that into the window that opens
I cannot WAIT to see my mom
Well, that didn't work out so well. You can apparently rest assured Max, that despite now knowing where to get the emoticons, I stiall am not competent enough to use them.
So Rich, speak to us. What sessions did you attend and which really stood out?
Duane - you have to go into HTML view first
The show floor looked very well attended. I thought the Linaro hacker conference was interesting. All these rooms were set aside for programmers from different companies to go in, hack, and solve some issues in the code that they could all then share.
<img src="http://www.pic4ever.com/images/292.gif" border="0" >
Susan, thanks to SF for sending us the WS trophy. We're keeping it.
I think Rich is right. I probably wouldn't be able to tell you the full number, if I knew it. ARM TechCon is a custom show UBM Tech, the parent company of EE Times, puts on with ARM.
The show guide lists about 80 exhibitors
@Martin: Max is just a copycat
Sez you!
Duane, not sure of the final count (and its probably a trade secret) but there were several thousand expo passes preregistered for.
@Duane: Isn't that the virus site that's been causing so much havoc lately?
Well, Martin recommended it ... so you are probably right :-)
Very festive, MeasurementBlues (Martin).
Susan - Both attendees and vendors. I've always thought of it as a small show, but it sounds like a lot went on therre this year.
Hey Susan, the emiticons were my idea. Max is just a copycat
Max - "pic4ever.com" Isn't that the virus site that's been causing so much havoc lately?
Duane, do you mean attendees? I can find out, I think.
Max, there were 15 pages of those icons. We're not going to see all of them from you are we? Although that Mos Eisly bar icon was pretty cute.
@Martin: I was just reading one of your deeply insightful columns
How many people attend ARM TechCon?
Nice emoticon Max. I'm glad to join you, too.
Rich, being as I'm the test guy (wrote a song about that) werethere any test companies or session about test at the conference?
@Martin: Duane, go to...
Blabbermouth! :-)
No standouts for me. I went in with IoT blinders on, though, so may have missed something significant in other apps areas. I did like the Xively Jumpstart kit, tho.
Max - I print my own points.
I had a two press briefings and saw the keynote, walked the show floor.
Hi Susan -- we're so you could join us!
Duane, go to http://www.pic4ever.com/index-2.php you can copy the HTML, then click on the HTML button under the chat fields and paste in the link.
Yes I was briefly. One day. Rich, what impressed you most at the show? Were there any standouts?
@duane: I don't see where you can add emoticons, much less dancing emoticons.
That's OK -- so long as we know how to do it and you don;t, we get more points!!!
Hi susan. You were at the show, right?
@martin: those icons we use next to our headlines
You mean on EE Times?
Hi everyone.
1937 -- the 20-year countdown clock started to the year yours truly graced this planet with his presence
I don't see where you can add emoticons, much less dancing emoticons.
Small icons for small minds
I wonder if we can use animated graphics in those icons we use next to our headlines. Max, can you figur that our for us?
So who all here was at the show?
These are sooooo coollllll
1937 - "Of Mice and Men" published?
Hi Duane
You did, but we ignored you.
Greetings Duane
1937, Wasn't that the year of "War of the Worlds" or was that 1938?
Good morning
It was a bright and stormy day.
@Martin: I will never be able to see your name (or you) without thinking of that cheerleader emoticon
The year was 1937...
@Martin: Max, you're on vacation, remember?
I'm heading out to the airport after this chat
"huge crowd"
That's why you should keep doing these chats
@Rich: I was tied up
I thought we'd told you and your wife to stop doing that dutring working hours :-)
@Rich: How'd your Wed chat go, Max?
Very sucessflly -- huge crowd -- but I expected nothing less :-)
@Rich: Martin beat you by a fraction of a moment
And I know that he will never let me forget it (his one moment of triumph)
OK Martin, where'd you find the emoticons?
@Max, you're on vacation, remember?
How'd your Wed chat go, Max? I was tied up
A little tear is rolling down my cheek
Martin beat you by a fraction of a moment
Poor third, Max
Hi Small Measurements (thus your being blue)
Show seemed to go well. Lots of content. Kept me busy. Big push for the IoT but that wasnt the only focus. There was also lots of interest in graphics and server designs.
@RichQ: Darn, I wanted to be first to join thsi chat!!!
Greetings from windy Boston, home of yet another championship
My background is test & measurement so this is way out of my league but I'm willing to learn from everyone here.
In the airport returning from TechCon. Made it thru the security gauntlet and at the gate. Flight's at 10:10 so I may have to switch to cell for the last bit of this chat.
Max has passed the torch to Martin Rowe and me for handling these weekly live chats. (No comment on it taking two of us to fill his shoes, though I will admit they are at least a 13E.) This week's chat will be a bit earlier than usual (9am Pacific time) because I will be returning from ARM TechCon and boarding a plane at 10.
Speaking of ARM TechCon, that is the subject of this week's chat. Lots of activity here in one of the top-tier trade shows in the industry. EETimes will have covered the news announcements, but no one can cover everything. Here's a chance to discuss the show as a whole, put the announcements into perspective, and share what you found on the show floor (or ask those who were there what they saw).
Come join us at 9am Pacific for a live chat wrapping up ARM TechCon!

Those looking forward
to the wide rollout of USB 3.0 will be saddened to hear that the
specification has been dealt a setback. This summer, expectations
were that USB 3.0 devices and computers supporting USB 3.0 would be
before 2010.
A source at a top-tier computer maker has
confirmed to EETimes that USB
3.0 support in key Intel chipsets has been postponed until 2011.
Support for USB 3.0 was expected to show up in early 2010 for Intel
chipsets. The same top-tier PC maker source also told EETimes
that wireless USB was effectively dead. Rather than moving to
wireless USB, which has had many supporting startups and interest
groups close up shop, the industry buzz is now focusing on 60 GHz
With Intel not offering wide support for USB 3.0
in its chipsets in 2010, adoption of the specification will
reportedly be limited to a few high-end graphics workstations and
consumer PCs. The makers of these systems will be forced to buy
discrete host controllers for their boards, which will make the parts
high-cost items.
The unnamed source added, "It's hard to
commit to an emerging technology like this (USB 3.0) when the key
silicon enablers are not making it a priority. You get into a
chicken-and-egg situation." USB 3.0 "won't get real
traction until it gets integrated in the chip sets," said the
As for why USB 3.0 was postponed after a big showing
at IDF, the source told EETimes, "Tech and strategy
groups (at Intel) are not always aligned with the product development
teams that are in the mode of trying to make revenue and prioritize
what to integrate."

New CUNA Video Addresses how CU's Overcame Natural Disaster
The CUNA Technology Council has produced its first "video white paper" that documents the stories of how four credit unions survived the aftermath of major natural disasters, including the Moore, Okla., tornado in May, Superstorm Sandy in 2012 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005
Titled, "Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity: Are You Prepared?," the hour-long video features the $2.1 billion Keesler FCU in Biloxi, Miss., the $400 million Nassau Financial FCU in Westbury, NY, the $325 million McGraw-Hill FCU East Windsor, N.J., and the $3 billion Tinker FCU in Oklahoma City, Okla.
Credit union executives from each cooperative describe what the impact the storms had on their financial institution, staff, and members. They also discuss how their disaster recovery/business continuity plans helped return them to operations, and how they aided members who needed financial assistance to rebuild their lives.
The video is available on CUNA Council's website.

Motors and Nissan may have a year head start on Ford Motor Company
with their 2011
Chevy Volt and 2011
Nissan Leaf electric vehicles, but Ford has some big
EV plans of its own. As it prepares to
launch its first full mass-market EV next year -- a plug-in
Ford Focus -- Ford has its eyes set on a large-scale
rollout. By 2015, Ford hopes to have "electrified"
vehicles -- hybrids (HEV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV), and
battery-electric vehicles (BEV; aka "all electric"
vehicles) -- make up 2-5 percent of its total sales. This is an
ambitious but seemingly achievable goal -- the company currently has
about 1 percent of its sales consist of electrified vehicles
(hybrids).The company's target for 2020 is much bolder; it
say that it wants to boost this number to 10 to 25 percent. It
plans on roughly 70 percent of those being hybrids, with the
remainder being plug-in electrics and fuel cell vehicles.Key
to these efforts is to perfect hybrid, pure electric, and fuel cell
systems for the C platform. This platform is Ford's largest,
selling approximately 2 million of the 4.817 million units that Ford
sold last year. Ford has over 12 different body styles --
including the Focus, Transit Connect, C-Max, S-Max, and others --
which serve as "hats" to the underlying C platform.Ford's
director of global electrification, Nancy Gioia states, "During
this volatile period, by utilizing our highest volume platforms, by
having common parts between hybrids and plug in hybrids we are doing
the most to make this as affordable as possible during a very dynamic
time."This approach not only saves Ford money in
production costs, but it should also help the company obtain its
electric vision. Ford will need those savings -- it plans on
complete four generations worth of batteries within the next ten
years. Gioia says that Ford is incredible committed and
focused on its electric efforts. She comments, "There must
be a national and actually global constancy of purpose on this
journey. We are on a marathon, a 50-year journey, we are not on a 3-5
year journey. This takes an enormous amount of staying power."

More and more people across the country have been deciding to go to urgent care in Bunnell FL facilities instead of emergency rooms. In fact, there are roughly 300 new urgent care in Bunnell Florida facilities being opened in the United States each year. That is nearly one a day. These walk-in medical centers offer treatment for acute illnesses and injuries that are beyond the abilities of primary care facilities. The extended hour availability of urgent care in Bunnell FL services have also been a great attraction to those wanting to avoid the high costs that are brought about by visits to emergency rooms. With almost 9000 urgent care in Bunnell Florida facilities open across the country, a surprising half amount of that are full-fledged centers that meet the Certified Urgent care in Bunnell FL center criteria.
The health care system has recognized urgent care in Bunnell Florida centers as an essential component, fitting a real need for the public to be treated for injuries and medical conditions that are not deemed life threatening. This system should work as planned, as long as patients, urgent care in Bunnell FL centers, primary care facilities and emergency rooms know what problems should be addressed by which component. This reduces the need for having to slow down the system unnecessarily and the outrageous medical bills that are acquired from visiting the emergency room without being in a medical situation that may be threatening the life of the patient.

Avengers is an EPIC comic book movie. Seen it twice...once in Imax 3D and the other in RealD 3D. It was the most fun I have ever had watching any movie. Just a blast, it was an experience man. Me and my 9 year old boy were literately high fiveing each other throughout (don't remember ever doing that at a movie). That final battle scene was tremendous!!!
Mark Ruffollo killed it as the Hulk...finally the green giant is done justice. His scene near the end was awesome. Hulk smash...hahaha.
And as per the other Marvel movies, stick around after the credits for a sneak at what's to come in the next instalment. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet. But for those who read the comics back in the day I'm sure you are all excited at what's to come.

Border Contraceptive Access Study, El Paso, Texas 2005-2008 (ICPSR 32561)
Principal Investigator(s): Potter, Joseph E., University of Texas-Austin; Hopkins, Kristine, University of Texas-Austin; Amastae, Jon, University of Texas-El Paso; Grossman, Daniel, Ibis Reproductive Health-San Francisco
Oral contraceptive (OC) users living in El Paso, Texas were interviewed to assess motivations for patronizing a United States clinic or a Mexican pharmacy with over-the-counter (OTC) pills and to determine which women were likely to use the OTC option. The experiences of OC users who obtained their contraception from Mexican pharmacies were compared with those of women who obtained their pills from family planning clinics in El Paso, Texas, where eligible low-income women often pay nothing. 532 clinic users and 514 pharmacy users were surveyed about background characteristics, motivations for choosing their oral contraception source, and satisfaction with this source. For more information, please see the Border Contraceptive Access Study website.

Unit of Observation: individual
Universe: Oral contraceptive users in El Paso, Texas aged 18 to 44 years old.
Study Purpose: Oral contraception (OC) currently requires a prescription. It has been suggested that this requirement should be eliminated. In the debate over removing the prescription requirement, two of the questions that need to be addressed are why women might prefer pharmacy access instead of obtaining pills at clinics, and who would take advantage of the pharmacy option if it were made available. So far, most of the evidence on these points has come from studies of women residing in countries other than the United States or from answers to hypothetical questions addressed to women in this country. To explore these questions, this study was conducted along the United States-Mexico border, where women who live in the United States are afforded an unusual opportunity: crossing the border, they can purchase over-the-counter (OTC) hormonal contraception at pharmacies for a reasonable price -- approximately US$5 per cycle. The motivations and experiences of OC users who obtained their contraception from Mexican pharmacies are compared with those of women who obtained their pills from family planning clinics in El Paso, Texas, where eligible low-income women often pay nothing.
Study Design: The sample was recruited from El Paso without stratification or primary sampling units.
Sample: 1046 El Paso resident OC users aged 18 to 44 years were recruited. Some clinic users were recruited from the major family planning providers in El Paso. However, recruiting pharmacy users at pharmacies in Ciudad Juárez proved to be impractical, so virtually the entire pharmacy user sample and a considerable proportion of the clinic sample were recruited through announcements, flyers, presentations at local community centers, and referrals. Participants resided in 46 different zip codes, 16 of which had more than 20 participants. The sample was not stratified by level of education or socioeconomic status; nevertheless, it did not typically include women who used health insurance or personal funds to obtain prescriptions from private physicians in the United States, then purchased OCs at pharmacies in Mexico.
Mode of Data Collection: face-to-face interview
Description of Variables: Each of the five datasets include verbatim text responses from the participants. Many of these responses are in Spanish.
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:

Earlier this week, market research firm
Canalys reported that Google's Android OS is the top
player in the U.S. smartphone market. Canalys' research indicated
that Android OS commands 34 percent of the market, while RIM and
Apple trail behind at 32 percent and 21.7 percent respectively.
Better known NPD Group released
its own Q2 2010 numbers today and they closely mirror the Canalys
numbers (with the exception of it showing a steeper decline for RIM).
NPD indicates that Android OS, BlackBerry OS, and iOS have market
share numbers of 33 percent, 28 percent, and 22 percent respectively.
Google of course was the big winner,
but the report shows that RIM was the biggest loser -- the company
lost 9 points of market share during the quarter.
"For the second consecutive
quarter, Android handsets have shown strong but slowing sell-through
market share gains among U.S. consumers," said Ross Rubin,
executive director of industry analysis at NPD. "While the
Google-developed OS took market share from RIM, Apple's iOS saw a
small gain this quarter on the strength of the iPhone 4 launch."
Even though the Motorola
Droid is practically an old man compared to the latest Android
devices that have been released, it was the Android hardware sales
leader for Q2. It was followed by the HTC
Droid Incredible, HTC
EVO 4G, HTC Hero, and HTC Droid Eris.
The onslaught of fresh Android is still
ongoing as the Motorola
Droid X was recently launched and the followup to the original
Motorola Droid, the Droid
2, will launch in the coming weeks. And there's also the rumored
dual-core HTC Glacier that will reportedly be landing
on T-Mobile's wireless network.
In other smartphone news, NPD also
reported that when it comes to units sold, Verizon is still the clear
leader with 33 percent of the market. AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile
trail behind at 25 percent, 12 percent, and 11 percent respectively.

of the most recognizable names in the burgeoning electric car market
is Tesla. The company has been offering its Roadster since 2008. The
Roadster is positioned as a luxury sports car with performance
capable of matching that of some combustion engine powered sports
MarketWatch reports
today that the Tesla
IPO is set to start on June 29 (it announced
its intent to file an IPO back in January). The company plans to
offer 11.1 million shares at a price of $14 to $16 per share. As soon
as the IPO starts, Tesla has agreed to sell $50 million of its stock
to Toyota. It was also revealed that Tesla is purchasing the idled
NUMMI auto manufacturing facility, located in Fremont, California,
for $42 million.
Tesla will trade with the ticker symbol TSLA.
The SEC filing that Tesla filed lists shareholders with more than 5%
ownership in the company including Elon Musk, Al Wahada Capital
Investment LLC, Blackstar Investco LLC, VantagePoint Venture
Partners, and Valor Equity Partners.Tesla was also granted a
million loan by the U.S. Energy Department this year. So far,
Tesla has drawn over $45 million in funds from that loan
reports MarketWatch as
of June 14. Tesla's IPO is set to raise as much as $180 million, much
more than Tesla stated it would raise in January.In May,
Tesla announced a broad
partnership with Toyota – the pair is teaming to produce
electric vehicles at the NUMMI plant.

TAMPA, Fla.
Two storms were brewing Monday morning when Colorado delegates to the Republican National Convention met for breakfast.
Tropical Storm Isaac was lurking offshore and aiming for the Gulf Coast, but Tampa got nothing worse than rain showers and a breeze.
Inside, though, delegates were fuming about proposed changes to the Republican Party's rules in a way that could make it harder for insurgent candidates such as Ron Paul to gain a foothold in future conventions.
"It totally usurps the power of our state party and our convention process to select those delegates," said Dudley Brown, who said he plans to try to block the rules from taking effect Tuesday.
A lawyer for Mitt Romney's campaign proposed the changes. The new rule would give presidential candidates power to approve who is selected as their delegates.
Paul supporters oppose the change, and so do others in the delegation. State Sen. Ted Harvey, a Romney supporter, said it would make Colorado's caucus election and state party "meaningless."
"That is not what the Republican Party is about. The Republican Party is about the grass-roots electing delegates through the caucus process," Harvey said.
State Republican Party Chairman Ryan Call said he had concerns about the changes, but he encouraged Colorado's delegates to keep an open mind and study the changes for themselves.
"There's going to be a lot of heated rhetoric thrown around," Call said.
Negotiations were still occurring Monday, but the fight might play out on the convention floor this afternoon.
Romney appeared to have consolidated his hold over the Colorado delegation since April, when a coalition of Paul and Rick Santorum supporters denied Romney a majority of the delegates. When Call polled the delegation Monday, most of the Santorum supporters switched over to Romney, leaving just eight of the 36 Colorado delegates who refused to support him.
Call will cast Colorado's votes for Romney Tuesday on the convention floor, but Paul supporters won a concession from the Romney team when Luke Kirk of Bayfield – a Paul backer – was chosen to help Call cast the votes.
The roll call was supposed to happen Monday, but Republican leaders canceled most of Monday's proceedings because of the tropical storm.
It steered past Tampa, but convention planners weren't the only ones who were fooled. Local schools were closed Monday as well.
Both the rules fight and the tropical storm threatened to distract from the Republican Party's aim for the week: to re-introduce Romney to the nation, with an emphasis on his personal qualities.
Colorado delegates got a preview of that Monday morning, when Matt Romney, the candidate's second-oldest son, spoke briefly to them and told a family story.
"My dad, as you know, kind of has a reputation for fixing things," Matt Romney said.
When Matt's wife was on bed rest while expecting twins, Mitt Romney visited and saw that Matt hadn't left her anything besides a bit of food. So the former Massachusetts governor put together a TV cabinet and hired a college student to run errands for her.
"This all happened within about an hour," Matt Romney said.
Matt Romney's brief speech was aimed at humanizing his dad after months of negative ads.
"He's a good husband to my mom. He's a terrific grandfather to my kids," he said.

South African Airways builds capacity in West Africa, strengthens Perth and Buenos Aires
JOHANNESBURG. 18 June 2009. South African Airways (SAA) has added capacity to its African route network in keeping with its African strategy, as well as having strengthened its network with additional flights on routes to Perth, Australia and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The changes to the airline's schedule are in line with demand trends in the current economic environment. Off peak flights on several domestic and international routes have been reduced in keeping with a decline in demand.
However, SAA will continue to take up new opportunities in line with its plans to concentrate future growth on its extensive African route network. As such, its presence in West Africa has been strengthened and additional frequencies have been added on routes to both Australia and Argentina.
Further increasing its footprint in West Africa, three extra flights have been added to the popular West African destination of Lagos, Nigeria. This increases the number of frequencies on this route from four to seven per week. On four of these days, SAA will use a Boeing 747-400 on this route due to increased demand as well as the requirement for a first class service on this route.
Also in West Africa, flights to Douala, Cameroon, will increase from two to three per week.
On the route to Perth, Australia, SAA is increasing the number of flights from five to seven per week; while flights from Johannesburg to Buenos Aires, Argentina, will increase from two to three per week.
SAA will continue to closely monitor market demand and look for new market opportunities going forward. Further expansion of flight frequencies throughout Africa is expected to take place later this year.

The launch of Apple's iPhone is just days away and people
are already
starting to camp out for the next "it" device. Close to 400,000 units
could be up for grabs on launch day from 162 Apple Store and roughly 1,800
AT&T locations.
In the mean time, Apple has been trickling out little tidbits
of information regarding the iPhone to keep interest high. Over the past week,
we've learned that the iPhone
will ship with YouTube integration along with a higher-capacity battery and
a 3.5" display screen with "optical-quality
Today, Apple and AT&T announced three rate plans
that will be available for the iPhone.
"We want to make choosing a service plan simple and
easy, so every plan includes unlimited data with direct Internet access, along
with Visual Voicemail and a host of other goodies," said Apple CEO Steve
Jobs. "We think these three plans give customers the flexibility to
experience all of iPhone's revolutionary features at affordable and competitive
The entry-level $59.99 plan will get you 450 anytime minutes
along with 5,000 nights and weekend minutes. Stepping up to the $79.99 plan
will get you 900 anytime minutes and unlimited nights and weekends. The
top-level $99 plan gets you 1350 anytime minutes and unlimited nights and
All rate plans allow for unlimited data (email and web),
Visual Voicemail, 200 SMS text messages, unlimited mobile-to-mobile and
rollover minutes.
Also noted in the press release is that a one-time
activation fee of $36 will be charged for the iPhone. Given the extremely high interest
level for the iPhone, it's likely that not many will bat an eye at the
charge which would usually irritate consumers.
In addition, Apple and AT&T also announced that new
iPhone users will be able to activate their phone through iTunes -- there is no
need to wait at the store to go through the activation process.
"Users will be able to activate their new iPhone in the
comfort and privacy of their own home or office, without having to wait in a
store while their phone is activated," said Jobs. "There are tens of
millions of people in the US who already know how to sync their iPods with
iTunes, and syncing their new iPhone with iTunes works the same way."
"iPhone's user-driven activation is another example of
how AT&T and Apple have partnered to bring innovative new features to our
customers," said AT&T chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson.
"iPhone's innovative activation and sync is just one example of how this
is going to be a real industry game-changer."
Apple's iPhone will be priced at $499 for the 4GB model and
at $599 for the 8GB model -- both require a two-year service agreement.
