Khan Academy videos in OGV format
transcoding script yt-to-ogg.py

Hi all, The question about how to get videos from Khan Academy in any language was asked several times on this list. We planned this year to deploy offline Khan Academy videos in French to our Nosy Komba deployment. So I've worked with Bibliotheque Sans Frontiere to get French videos. They suggested me to use KA Lite [1], a software dedicated to install a offline Khan Academy server. BTW it's slightly intrusive and need some installation. So I've write a script to explore and extract only videos URL. You could find it here [2]. The result of the script could be seen here [3] as a tree or here [4] as a single list. Hope it could help.

- 09/21/2013 flash on a XO
If you are using Flash you need to also install nspluginwrapper, and use it to "wrap" the plugin so WebKit can see it. Use "yum -y install nspluginwrapper" to install the package. The OLPC OS build scripts for custom builds use the following command (run as root or via sudo) to finish the wrapping process. I have not verified it yet on a XO-1.5: /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/npconfig -n -p nswrapper_32_32 -d /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

- Firefox:"Save page as-Web page-complete"
- If these are saved to a USB they can be opened with a XO-1 running os883 switched to gnome desktop,
- or any off-line computer running firefox browser.

Installing and using liveusb-creator in sugar
- An easy method for Fedora and Windows, however this method does not generate a separate home.img filesystem to conserve the exhaustible OS overlay (see LiveOS image), nor does it copy the livecd-iso-to-disk installation script to the new device to permit generation of a new Live USB device from the first.
- Note if graphical liveusb-creator program will not make a bootable USB stick from an .iso file:
- (This can happen if the stick is formatted to fat16 on another PC with a different Operating System.)
- Use terminal command :
liveusb-creator --reset-mbr
- USB stick must be formatted: fat16/32; Labeled=LIVE; boot flag set.
- (The LIVE label is only required when the device is to be used for a subsequent uncompressed installation to a hard disk.)

Despite signs the Chinese authorities are allowing unprecedented access to information about next month's elections in Taiwan, Beijing remains intransigent on certain issues it regards as lines in the sand and it is taking action to ensure that its control remains unchallenged.
A senior editor at Caijing (財經), an independent Beijing-based publication that focuses predominantly on finance and politics, was recently invited by the Lung Yingtai Foundation in Taipei to visit Taiwan for a month to experience the elections, said Bruce Jacobs, a professor of Asian languages and studies at Monash University in Australia and a specialist on Taiwan.
Founded in 2005 by a group of entrepreneurs and intellectuals, the foundation is committed to fostering cultural exchanges, intellectual dialogue and enlivening a positive civic spirit within a democratic framework. The foundation has previously invited Chinese academics and journalists to visit Taiwan on cultural exchanges.
However, the senior editor's application to visit Taiwan was rejected by China's Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO), Jacobs said.
Undaunted, the editor, whose identity could not be revealed for this article, decided to travel to Taiwan via Hong Kong. Within 48 hours of the editor's arrival, the TAO had reportedly faxed a document to the magazine's office asking it to explain what the editor was doing in Taiwan.
The office's quick reaction raises the possibility that Chinese agents have been closely monitoring the activities of the foundation, or that someone in Taiwan alerted the authorities in Beijing to the senior editor's arrival in the country.
Such monitoring on behalf of China would not be unprecedented.
In late September, Central Police University associate professor Wu Chang-yu (吳彰裕) was arrested for providing China's Ministry of Public Security with information on the movements of Chinese dissidents in Taiwan.
The magazine had originally planned to run an article on how Taiwan's democracy evolved, Jacobs said, adding that the foundation's invitation to the senior editor was part of that effort.
However, ostensibly as a result of pressure from Beijing, Caijing has now canceled its coverage of the election until after Jan. 14, saying the subject is "too sensitive."
The magazine, reputed for its hard-hitting investigative journalism and occasional criticism of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), has reportedly become the target of some factions within the ruling party, as some consider the magazine a tool of their enemies ahead of the 18th CCP Congress.
Contacted for comment yesterday, the foundation denied it had invited anyone from Caijing to visit Taiwan, saying the TAO's decision to turn down a visa application by a reporter could be the result of the quota system regulating the number of Chinese journalists allowed in Taiwan.
The Taipei Times has been unable to determine whether the senior editor is still in Taiwan.
Jacobs himself appears to have become a victim of pressure by Chinese authorities on the magazine.
Early last month, a "commissioning editor" at the magazine approached Jacobs and asked him to write a "full and frank" article on Taiwan's elections, with some emphasis on how Taiwan democratized.
"I asked [the editor] about the question of censorship and was assured they wanted the bold truth," Jacobs said by e-mail. "With these assurances, I prepared a version and ... the only place I held back was in not calling the Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石) and Chiang Ching-kuo (蔣經國) regimes 'colonial.'"

In NBC News' updated presidential battleground map, Hillary Clinton has 274 electoral votes in her column -- which is more than the 270 needed to win the presidency, but it's down from where it was last month (at 287). Meanwhile, Donald Trump's electoral-vote total has grown to 180, up from 157 in mid-October. And we have 84 electoral votes in the Tossup column.
The big changes here: We moved Georgia, Iowa, and Maine's 2nd Congressional District from Tossup to Lean GOP; we moved Nevada from Tossup to Lean Dem; and we moved both New Hampshire and North Carolina from Lean Dem back to Tossup. We attribute these changes to the natural tightening of the race, with Republican voters coming back home to Trump. But we will continue to watch any fallout from last Friday's Comey news.

I'll come back to this at the end of the season and see how many I got right. Should be 100% tbh.
It was back in 1986, all my mates were into the sport,and I got carried along really. First game I ever properly watched was Jets vs Dolphins in 86 when the Jets won 51-45 in OT, and I was hooked...but there was something about the Vikes that I liked, having read a bit about the history of the game etc. The 'always the brides maid' feeling about them appealed, and then I watched the Vikes demolish the then Champion Bears 20-7 and that was that. Since then I have seen the Vikes have incredible D's, record breaking offenses, legendary players, etc, but still the last 21 years have just been about frustration (never more so than 1998).
I love the rivalry with the Packers and Bears and all that.
there is just no way on earth I could ever consider stopping supporting the Vikings. Every year though I ask myself the question, why do I put myself through it each season? But each season I get an incredibly strong emotional attachment to the team that I cannot do anything about it. Unless the Vikes are on Sky TV live, I always listen to the Vikes games on the radio, and these days I tend to be quite depressed on Mondays from sept through to December...and its normally a relief when we dont get to the playoffs, coz then I can start actually enjoying the game itself without the worry
Anyone know how you can watch this in NZ? I've got Sky, anyone know if the NFL will be on ESPN or Sky Sports?

I believe, just like last year, the NFC is wide open for the taking. Any number of teams (Eagles, Bears, Cowboys, Saints, Seahawks) can win the NFC. It will depend on who stays healthy and catches a few lucky bounces here and there. As for the Cowboys, I obviously have high hopes. The defense should be an improvement under Wade Phillips. He should be able to utilize the best out of the 3-4 system (meaning be more freaking aggressive than Parcels was). However, there are major concerns as well. Starting with the secondary, which regularly got torched in the second half last year. I want Phillips to run a more aggressive defense, but I may not like what I wished for if those blitzes fail and go for touchdowns! Romo is the prominent question on offense. Was last year just a flash in the pan? Or is he the real deal? He will define the future of this franchise. I don't like the fact that he has a weak offensive line protecting him. However, he also has the best receiver corps in the NFC at his disposal in Owens, Glenn, Watkins, and the Pro Bowl tight-end Witten. So let's just say I'm cautiously optimistic.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) Emanuel Chapman dished out 13 assists Saturday to help North Carolina Central remain unbeaten in Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference play with an 84-75 victory over Coppin State.
Ray Willis scored 20 points and Jeremy Ingram 19 for the Eagles of North Carolina Central (12-7, 5-0), who won their sixth straight. Jay Copeland added 17 points and Stanton Kidd had 15 points and nine rebounds.
Chapman, the conference's assists leader with 5.8 per game, posted the fifth-best total in program history while falling one short of his career best.
Andre Armstrong scored 28 points and Patrick Cole had 17 to pace Coppin State's Eagles (5-16, 2-4).
After Coppin State cut a 14-point deficit to 58-54 with 9:28 remaining, two layups by Copeland started an 11-3 North Carolina Central run that made it 69-57 with 5:21 left. Ingram also hit two baskets during the run.

These burgers have a true crab flavor that isn't masked by fillers or strong seasoning. Serve on a bun with tartar sauce or with a lemon-juice-dressed salad of greens, sprouts and sliced peaches. This recipe works best with convenient pasteurized crabmeat, usually found in the refrigerated case near the fish counter. If you prefer lump crabmeat, cut it into small, uniform pieces.

So in theory, January marks the time when we should all be tired of cookies and hunkering down as a people with some sort of juice concoctions made with our new blenders, watching the debates and trying to remember where we stored the anti-freeze.
I'll admit there were about four days after Christmas when I didn't want to eat any more sweets. But then I got over it, although I craved something new.
I cooked out of a new cookie book that my friend Elisabeth gave me, and I combed this site. It felt momentarily frightening to discover how many cookies here I have already tried, but I did stumble into some new territory with Double Chocolate and Chilli Cookies.
So, these cookies have a controversial past, which in the baking world means that the final product was cake-like, and not crispy, as the photo implied it would be. This sparked a considerable amount of back and forth, and amreen posted a whole new set of proportions in the comment section, which formed the recipe I set out to make.
I instantly had to go into improvisational mode, because I did not have enough white sugar (I substituted with a half cup of turbinado sugar and a handful of brown to make up for my shortcomings) and because I was out of chocolate chips, I chopped up a cup of good chocolate into chunks.
I would like to pause here to ponder why most writers do not indicate whether or not one needs natural or Dutch process cocoa for their recipe. I suppose it is because natural cocoa is everyone's default, and Dutch process comes up on a need-to-know basis, but it matters because they are not interchangeable as the latter does not react with baking soda. I feel a deep well of sadness for the baker who has invested in Dutch process cocoa for her larder, only to be foiled by it but not realizing that natural is needed. I have used this space to beg for clarification on all matters chocolate in the past. Let's come together as a community to right this cookbook wrong. (Learn more about cocoa powder here)
So back to the recipe: you start with the creaming of butter and sugar (I added the eggs and vanilla three minutes into the butter sugar dance in the mixer) and sifting up those dry ingredients. Put your dough in the fridge while you get some parchment paper for your cookie sheet (my tweak, the author calls for ungreased cookie sheets) and get someone a glass of juice, even though said person is sitting inches from the fridge but has a strange preference for your pouring techniques.
Jenny makes her cookies on the big side, which is one of many don't-live-like-Jenny pieces of advice I have for you; keep them on the smaller side and they will cook in seven to eight minutes. They won't look fully done, and will be on the fragile side, but just trust me that in fact they are and let them cool on the pan for a few minutes before setting them to the rack.
I must report that even with more butter than the original recipe, my cookies were still more fragile tea cake than crispy bad ass, which was okay by me as they were rich and surprising.
I gave bacon girl the first bite, who proclaimed them delicious, for exactly ten seconds. Then, she started running for a glass of milk. Hot pepper, she asked? Well cayenne. "Mom, kids don't have a spicy taste bud." Then she grabbed some ice cream.
My husband and I loved them. The fact that the heat comes after the bite of rich chocolate, a mouth pre cooling system of sorts, is really fun and delicious. The incipient came home from volleyball practice, grabbed a cookie, took her first bite, smiled. Then wide eyes. Reached for water. "They are really good." Polished off.
This morning I took a bag of them around the office, feeling that a reaction to a spicy cookie is a personality litmus test of sorts. They were largely popular, though one colleague said they should not be served for breakfast (fair enough) and others craved a flatter, chewier texture. Any ideas out there?

Star Trek Into Darkness
December 12, 2012, 11:23:10 PM »
Benedict Cumberbatch claims he is NOT playing Khan!
While being interviewed by Access Hollywood's Scott Mantz, Benedict assured Scott that he would not be portraying legendary Star Trek baddie Khan Noonien Singh in the forthcoming sequel slated for 2013.
In fact, he downplays the Khan rumors as "strange" and furthermore simply regards it as 'fun speculation'
Here's the exact excerpt from the conversation-
"A few have asked that which is strange, I play a character called John and not that other name" Benedict continued. "Its interesting. Speculation is speculation and thats all fun"
While being obviously coy in the interview, Benedict was however able to give us a few more nuggets of information on his character and even going so far as to saying that he hopes at one point or other in the film, we will be able to SYMPATHIZE with his character and the reasons he is doing what he's doing in the film. Read on for details!
~ "I play John Harrison whos a terrorist and an extraordinary character in his own right," the Brit said. "Hes somebody who is not your two-dimensional cookie cutter villain. Hes got an extraordinary purpose, and I hope that at one point or other in the film you might even sympathize with the reasons hes doing what hes doing not necessarily the means and the destruction he causes. But it was a great ride, not just because hes the bad guy and the antagonist but also because he has a purpose and its hard not to see his point of view at certain points."
So according to Benedict and prior interviews with other crew-members, he's a villain we should most likely "sympathize" with...perhaps the plot has some connection with that sick little girl who was mentioned in the prologue? Perhaps that's his reason for doing what he's doing? Only time will tell And what do you all think of his dismissing of the Khan rumors? Still think he's Khan? I personally doubt this will simmer the Khan speculation as Mr. Cumberbatch had stated himself- "speculation is speculation and that's all fun" but if I were to take a bet- I'd bet against Khan popping up in this film at all.

MTV News interview with J.J Abrams!
Greetings CBMers, MTV News was able to get a bit more out of Director J.J Abrams about the villain of the upcoming Star Trek sequel. While trying to dodge the question about the specific identity of said villain, Abrams was able to sneak in a few hints as to what we can expect from this new threat.
"The whole thing, not just his backstory, but his agenda, his plan, his secret, all that is what, for me at least, makes him such a frightening and cool villain," Abrams said. "Also, the real villains when they're not just two-dimensional, angry vengeful types don't see themselves as the bad guy. They are the good guy and have complete rationale and motivation"
Abrams continued...
"So true to form, the character that Benedict plays has an absolute sense of right and wrong, and he's on the right side."

Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto And Benedict Cumberbatch Talk STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS
Speaking with MTV News, Chris Pine (Jim Kirk), Zachary Quinto (Spock) and Benedict Cumberbatch (John Harrison) discuss J.J. Abrams' highly anticipated sequel Star Trek Into Darkness. Cumberbatch offers some new details on his heavily debated villain, calling him a terrorist and teasing his relationship with Spock and Kirk, as well his overall motivation as an adversary. Meanwhile, Quinto addresses the possibility of one or more members of the Enterprise crew would be killed off, saying that the stakes are definitely higher this time around and that Cumberbatch's character is unlike any Star Trek villain before. Finally, Pine comments on the chances of Kirk having a love interest in Alice Eve's Carol Marcus, and how the character's scientific knowledge has a "big part" in solving a crisis in the film.
"He's a terrorist; he operates as a terrorist. He has extraordinary physical powers, but also mental powers. He can sow an idea, which is as powerful as gunshots or close-hand combat, which he's masterful in. He tears into the fabric of both the world and the Enterprise family, and he leaves behind him a trail of devastation. It's quite exciting to watch."
"Giving away the full motivation would ruin it, but it's personal. It's also political, I think. He's somebody who, at some point in the film, you should feel a certain amount of empathy towards his cause, if not his means. ... There's no two-dimensional obstacle he presents purely and simply by the fact that he's opposing our hero. He has an interesting relationship with Kirk, and with Spock in a way. He very much plays them off against each other. There's an element of shadow to him and Kirk."
"There's reason to worry, let's say that much. The enemy that we face in this movie played by Benedict Cumberbatch is entirely different than enemies that we've seen this crew face in the past. There is an insidiousness, a ruthlessness and a fierce intelligence about his character that almost infiltrates and undermines the connectivity of the crew. There's a lot more at risk, so.. who knows."
"What I will say about the film is that so much happens, with the action, the plot, the current of it is so fast, there's really not much time for Kirk to do anything other than save the crew and save his own ass, because danger is imminent, and all that. But clearly, Kirk being Kirk, Kirk loves a blonde, and Alice is a beautiful woman, so the flirting and the connection is there. I'll leave it to the people who watch to see how far it goes. But what she adds to it ... she, her scientific knowledge and her education, scientifically speaking, plays a big part in helping solve the crisis."

William Shatner Calls J.J. Abrams "a Pig" for Hogging Both Star Trek and Star Wars Franchises
We already know William Shatner thinks Star Trek is betterthan Star Wars, but how does he feel about J.J. Abrams going from directing two Trek flicks to helming the next adventure in a galaxy far, far away?
"He's being a pig," the original Captain Kirk told Movie Fanatic . "He's collecting the two franchises and holding them close to his vest. He's probably the most talented director of that ilk that we have, but he's gone too far this time."
While that may sound a bit harsh, we're guessing his tongue was planted firmly in his cheek when he said it. At least, we hope so!
Shatner added, "I think of him as a buddy of mine. I've taken him out for sushi. I think it's time for J.J. and I to have another sushi and let me put him straight about two of the largest franchisesand not employing me in either one of them is just foolhardy."
Meanwhile, Star Trek: Into Darkness, sans Shatner, opens in theaters on May 17.

J.J. Abrams On The Role Of The Klingons In STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS
On the Klingons.
"We shot some stuff that had klingons in it and then we ended up cutting the scene so it's a deleted scene on the dvd but they are back in this one. Their role in this is definitely adversarial and you'll see how that plays out. But you don't have to know about any preexisting stories to watch this film. "
On Carl Marcus played by Alice Eve.
"Wouldn't [Chris Pine] like that [having Alice Eve as a love interest]. [Kirk] meets [Carol] fairly early on and again- she plays a science officer, she's someone who is part of the adventure and it's an action-adventure movie so once that gets going it's a difficult thing to park the story and say 'lets do a romantic interlude.' But her role is important, she wouldn't be in the movie otherwise."

Grains held support again as outside markets finished sharply higher. December corn finished 3½ cents higher at $6.44, November soybeans 2¼ cents lower at $12.50¾ and December wheat 1 cent higher at $6.25¼.
A revision of the export inspections was released this morning, with sharp differences from what we saw yesterday on the newswires. Corn was actually 21.17 million bushels, beans 45.036 million bushels and wheat 16.359 million bushels. Despite the sharp increase in soybean inspections, the market still held beans most resisted for the day.
The Dow Jones futures rallied sharply late in the day on a report of an EU bailout plan. This strength may continue into the overnight session, and we may see grain supported on the 6:00 open.
We continue to find resistance at the 200-day moving average in corn ($6.475). Unless we see a major shift in demand, it may be hard for the corn and wheat markets to rally much from here. With such a large world supply of wheat, we may continue to see fund selling into any rallies. We have talked about the "managed money" being long corn and beans for quite some time (even after the latest liquidation), but we also have to look at how short they are in Chicago wheat. With a high insurance price set early for wheat, it had plenty of time to ensure acres here in the U.S. and is one more fundamental that could keep the price resisted. At the same time, we have talked about how a low wheat price could keep the price of corn resisted as well as demand shifts.
We feel soybeans are the one product that has a little better story pricewise. With the latest USDA Supply and Demand report estimating a slight decline in yields and with carryout estimated at 160, they are still looking at a tight bean supply in the U.S. Today's export inspections were impressive for soybeans based on expectations. Knowing that the global market can put a premium in beans if there are any weather scares in South America this winter (their summer), we could see beans' price most supported from that.

Heineken Cup
10 things we learnt from the Heineken Cup openers
Graham Jenkins
October 16, 2012
Quins' Danny Care had good reason to smile following his side's victory over Biarritz at The Stoop © PA Photos
The rollercoaster ride that is the Heineken Cup got underway at the weekend with a host of facinating clashes - but what did they teach us?
1. Political squabble will have to play second fiddle to on-field action
Europe's finest delivered a timely reminder of how special the Heineken Cup is and what a great asset it is for the game as a whole. No domestic competition comes close to it in terms of thrilling, edge-of-the-seat entertainment with the see-saw encounter between Sale and Cardiff Blues and Racing Metro's gutsy win over Munster hopefully just a taste of things to come. Hopefully the suits can get their act together just like the clubs do this time of year.
2. Exeter look at home among Europe's elite
The Chiefs wasted no time in making themselves at home in the Premiership following their promotion to the top flight and they look set to make a similarly seamless step up to the Heineken Cup stage having more than held their own against defending champions Leinster in their opening game. The Chiefs departed the RDS with a hard-earned bonus point and will clearly be a sizeable thorn in the sides of their Pool 5 rivals.
3. France have a midfield gem on their hands in the form of Gael Fickou
The weather did its best to ruin the eagerly-awaited showdown between Toulouse and Leicester but there was still one significant bright spot - the performance of teenage sensation Fickou. The 18-year-old lit up the game with a moment of magic that saw him pounce on a loose pass from Tigers wing Niki Goneva before chipping through and racing on to collect his own kick and claim a notable try. He certainly made an impression with Leinster centre Brian O'Driscoll Tweeting: "What about this fella Fickou. 18 years of age! Uh oh...."
4. Rash thinking will cost you dear
The Heineken Cup is constantly referred to as the nearest thing to Test match rugby in terms of intensity and that kind of pressure was evident in the opening round of European action in the form of some woeful decision making. Munster's Conor Murray was arguably the worst offender with his decision to run back a kick from inside his own 22 with his side's game against Racing Metro still in the balance. Lacking support, the penalty was inevitable once he had been snared and Olly Barkley was able to give the French side some valuable breathing space. Leicester's Ben Youngs was another to suffer as the result of a rush of blood. His decision to tap and go rather than take a relatively easy three points served as a major let-off for Toulouse who never looked back.
5. French clubs will dominate this season's competition
While the European aspirations of some French sides are up for debate with the likes of Montpellier opting to ring the changes ahead of their opener, others such as Toulon, Clermont and Toulouse clearly have their game faces on when it comes to the Heineken Cup. All three flexed their significant muscle in powering to victories with all conjuring an impressive mix of brute force and flair. On this evidence, expect all three to be there or thereabouts come crunch time.
6. Life on the Med works wonders for your game
There is clearly something in the water in Toulon or perhaps it is the Mediterranean sun that rejuvenates players lucky enough to play under it? Jonny Wilkinson wasted no time in shrugging off his injury woes after swapping Newcastle for the south of France and now the Armitage brothers are also rediscovering their best form at the Stade Mayol. England and maybe the Lions are very lucky if they can ignore such talents.
7. Danny Care in box seat to claim England No.9 shirt
The Quins scrum-half's livewire display against Biarritz will have certainly caught the eye of the England management and combined with the hammering Leicester rival Ben Youngs received in the wake of his side's defeat at the hands of Toulouse it would appear that Care is destined to claim the No.9 shirt for the clash against Fiji next month.
8. Blues flanker Sam Warburton is hard as nails
Sam Warburton lasted just six minutes of his side's defeat to Sale due to a nasty-looking dislocated finger injury. It wasn't pretty - see for yourself - but the Wales skipper is made of stern stuff and managed to Tweet a picture of his predicament while he waited for medics to realign his finger. You might think he would be out of action for some time but no, chances are he'll be lining up against Toulon at the weekend.
9. Danny Cipriani's still got game
Six straight defeats meant the heat was on at Sale ahead of their clash with Cardiff Blues and no one was feeling it more than playmaker Danny Cipriani. His failure to make an impact since his arrival contributed to the fact that he started the game on the bench but he responded to the setback with a game-changing 30 minute cameo that inspired a dramatic turnaround of events and propelled his side to an outstanding victory. But can Cips and the Sharks kick on?
10. There could be life after Evans
When Harlequins fly-half Nick Evans limped out of his side's match against Biarritz with an ankle injury it appeared the home fans had good reason to worry - their key playmaker was sidelined with their European campaign just seven minutes old. Ben Botica stepped into the breach and the 23-year-old son of former All Blacks international Frano proved a more than able deputy by steering his side home and bagging 18 points in the process. With Evans set to be sidelined for some time, the next few weeks are set to be a trial to see if Quins would sorely miss the Kiwis services if he opts for pastures new when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Looks like there is some close work Microsoft is doing with Twitter. In addition to announcing a Windows Phone 8-specific Twitter application coming with Windows Phone 8, looks like the behind-the-scenes work is complete for showing SkyDrive pictures inline on Twitter.
If you use a Windows Phone and share pictures natively (select a picture > share > Twitter), it uploads the picture to SkyDrive and then publishes the SkyDrive link to Twitter along with the tweet message. Below is an example:
Until now, that "View Photo" link was not visible and as a result, expanding the tweet would not show the photo. In order to see the photo you'd have to click on the link which would take you to SkyDrive's website and open it there. Compared to inline, that was a bad experience.
Now, you can see the picture inline by just clicking on "View Photo" as I did here:
It doesn't look like SkyDrive pictures are integrated into Twitter's "Recent Images" section on the profile page yet. Hopefully the Image Gallery update will roll out soon as well.
Regardless, it is a good thing that Twitter (with or without Microsoft) has worked out the technical stuff to make SkyDrive pictures show up inline. After all, we know that SkyDrive now has 200 million users and stores 11 billion photos so it is not a small operation. With Windows 8 and Windows RT (along with, of course, Windows Phone 8) relying heavily on SkyDrive as the personal cloud of choice, the usage will only go up.
A final note, given that Twitter's iOS and Android apps behave much like the website, I suppose these pictures from SkyDrive will also show inline in those apps, although I have not been able to confirm that.

TOO bad sainthood is not generally conferred on bakers, for there is one who is a possible candidate for canonization. She fulfills most of the requirements: (1) She's dead. (2) She demonstrated heroic virtue. (3) Cults have been formed around her work. (4) Her invention is considered by many to be a miracle. The woman: Ruth Graves Wakefield. Her contribution to the world: the
One day in the 1930s, Mrs. Wakefield, an owner of the Toll House Inn, in Whitman, Mass., 23 miles south of
Made from nothing more than flour, eggs, sugar, leavening agents, salt, and chocolate, the cookie seems idiot-proof. After all, it's simple enough that an eighth-grader can make it, right?
Not necessarily.
"If it was just a matter of a recipe," said Hervé Poussot, a baker and an owner of Almondine, in Dumbo,
All this crossbreeding begs the question: Has anyone trumped Mrs. Wakefield? To find out, a journey began that included stops at some of
The first visit was to the City Bakery, on West 18th Street, owned by Maury Rubin, who seems to get as much pleasure from talking about food as from eating it. When asked about the secret to his cookies, he said, "We bake them in small batches every hour so they're always fresh." He went on to say that the store sells more than 1,000 cookies a day.
Why, then, does almost everybody say they prefer homemade to bakery bought?
Mr. Rubin smiled, having already figured out the answer. "It's the Warm Rule," he said. "Even a bad cookie straight from the oven has its appeal."
It's an opinion expressed by every baker visited.
Heather Sue Mercer, one of three sisters who own Ruby et Violette, which recently reopened on West 50th Street, believes that her bakery's basic chocolate chip cookie "is definitely better warm," but, she said, "I think some of our others are better served room temperature for the best flavor." A warming oven allows all their cookies to be served either way.
Given the opportunity to riff on his cookie-making strategies, Mr. Rubin revealed two crucial elements home cooks can immediately add to their arsenal of baking tricks. First, he said, he lets the dough rest for 36 hours before baking.
Asked why, he shrugged. "I don't know," he said. "They just taste better."
"Oh, that Maury's a sly one," said Shirley O. Corriher, author of "CookWise" (William Morrow, 1997), a book about science in the kitchen. "What he's doing is brilliant. He's allowing the dough and other ingredients to fully soak up the liquid — in this case, the eggs — in order to get a drier and firmer dough, which bakes to a better consistency."
A long hydration time is important because eggs, unlike, say, water, are gelatinous and slow-moving, she said. Making matters worse, the butter coats the flour, acting, she said, "like border patrol guards," preventing the liquid from getting through to the dry ingredients. The extra time in the fridge dispatches that problem. Like the Warm Rule, hydration — from overnight, in Mr. Poussot's case, to up to a few days for Mr. Torres — was a tactic shared by nearly every baker interviewed.
And by Ruth Wakefield, it turns out. "At Toll House, we chill this dough overnight," she wrote in her "Toll House Cook Book" (Little, Brown, 1953). This crucial bit of information is left out of the version of her recipe that Nestlé printed on the back of its baking bars and, since in 1939, on bags of its chocolate morsels.
To put the technique to the test, one batch of the cookie dough recipe given here was allowed to rest in the refrigerator. After 12, 24, and 36 hours, a portion was baked, each time on the same sheet pan, lined with the same nonstick sheet in the same oven at the same temperature.
At 12 hours, the dough had become drier and the baked cookies had a pleasant, if not slightly pale, complexion. The 24-hour mark is where things started getting interesting. The cookies browned more evenly and looked like handsomer, more tanned older brothers of the younger batch. The biggest difference, though, was flavor. The second batch was richer, with more bass notes of caramel and hints of toffee.
Going the full distance seemed to have the greatest impact. At 36 hours, the dough was significantly drier than the 12-hour batch; it crumbled a bit when poked but held together well when shaped. These cookies baked up the most evenly and were a deeper shade of brown than their predecessors. Surprisingly, they had an even richer, more sophisticated taste, with stronger toffee hints and a definite brown sugar presence. At an informal tasting, made up of a panel of self-described chipper fanatics, these mature cookies won, hands down.
The second insight Mr. Rubin offered had to do with size. His cookies are six-inch affairs because he believes that their larger size allows for three distinct textures. "First there's the crunchy outside inch or so," he said. A nibble revealed a crackle to the bite and a distinct flavor of butter and caramel. "Then there's the center, which is soft." A bull's-eye the size of a half-dollar yielded easily.
"But the real magic," he added, "is the one-and-a-half-inch ring between them where the two textures and all the flavors mix."
Testing once again bore out Mr. Rubin's thesis, which might be called the Rule of Thirds. The 24-hour and, especially, the 36-hour cookies developed the ring Mr. Rubin enthusiastically described. The crisp edge gave way to a chewy circle, with a flavor similar to penuche fudge, surrounding a center as soft as that of the first batch. His theory on the impact of size on texture so delighted Ms. Corriher that she wanted to include it in her new book, "BakeWise" (Scribner, $40), due out in October.
Super-size cookies seem to be the 21st-century rage. Mr. Torres and Mr. Poussot sell cookies as large as Mr. Rubin's. Levain Bakery, on West 74th Street, offers six-ounce, slightly underbaked behemoths that, while not adhering to Mr. Rubin's Rule of Thirds — they're too mounded for that — do have some crunch around the edges.
And what would a chocolate chip cookie be without the wallop of good chocolate? According to most of the bakers, only chocolate with at least 60 percent cacao content has the brio to transform the dough into the Hulk Hogan of cookies. Some, like Mr. Rubin and Mr. Torres, have their chocolate made exclusively for them. Others, including the Mercer sisters, use high-quality imported brands, like Callebaut or Valrhona, and shoot for a ratio of chocolate to dough of no less than 40 to 60.
Break apart a Torres cookie, and a curious thing happens. Inside aren't chunks of chocolate, but rather thin, dark strata. "I use a couverture chocolate, because it melts beautifully," he explained, something traditional chips don't do. Couverture is a coating chocolate used, for instance, for covering truffles. To get his trademark layers, Mr. Torres has his chocolate, which is manufactured by the
Dorie Greenspan, author of several baking books including "Baking: From My Home to Yours" (Houghton Mifflin, 2006), was asked to fill in any blanks left by the master bakers during the quest for the ultimate cookie. Although unsure she could bring anything new to the party, she went through the usual checklist: read through the recipe first, make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature, use the best-quality ingredients you can find, don't overmix. Then she hit upon something everyone else had missed, and some home bakers are nervous about: salt.
"You can't underestimate the importance of salt in sweet baked goods," she said. Salt, in the dough and sprinkled on top, adds dimension that can lift even a plebian cookie. To make the point, she referred to her recipe for Sablés Korova, a chocolate chocolate-chip cookie with a hefty pinch of fleur de sel, from her book "
After weeks of investigating, testing and retesting, the time had come to assemble a new archetypal cookie recipe, one to suit today's tastes and to integrate what bakers have learned since that fateful day in Whitman, Mass. The recipe included here is adapted from Mr. Torres's classic cookie, but relies on the discoveries and insights of the other bakers and authors. So, in effect, it's all of theirs — the consummate chocolate chip cookie.
This creation, the offspring of some of baking's top talent, truly bests Mrs. Wakefield's. Doubt it? There's only one way to find out.Continue reading the main story
