"Hi, I'm a Mac. Hi, I'm a PC."
The ads haven't run in years, but the image might be more significant than ever. Microsoft, which has become an also-ran in the mobile phone and tablet race, stands as the nerdy and frumpy guy in the suit. The Windows operating system he represents has become, well, boring--associated with work, and stuck in the past.
Apple, on the other hand, stands on the right: cool, hip and cocky. Its iPhone and iPad have become the most popular mobile devices in the world, almost always selling millions in just days.
It's not fair to say that Microsoft has lost in the post-PC war, dominated by the iPad, because it hasn't even stepped foot on the battlefield. It's been three years since the iPad has been introduced and Microsoft hasn't had even one soldier on the field. That is, until tomorrow morning when Windows 8 launches and Microsoft dramatically breaks with the past.
Leaving the 1990s Behind
"We started to look back and we said, wow, the user interface, the experience, the form factors, the kinds of PCs, were all developed in the mid 1990s," Steven Sinofsky, the father of Windows 8 (or more officially the president of the Windows Division), said in an interview on Microsoft's campus in Redmond, Wash. "We looked and we said things are so different, we need to envision a new kind of software for those scenarios because the world is a different place."
The world is a very different place than when Windows received its last serious makeover in 1995 when Windows 95 launched. Other than Joan Rivers, you'd be hard pressed to find anything that hasn't changed since 1995. And in the world of navigating computer interfaces the shift has been obvious.
"We all started using phones and touch. When you started to look around us – whether it was gas stations, ATMs, fitness machines—everywhere you went you touched the screen. The only screen you didn't touch, was the one you used the most, the one on your PC," Sinofsky explains.
But, of course, Microsoft had tried before to put a touchscreen on a PC. In fact, it pioneered the Tablet PC. Remember those computers with pens? In 2001, Bill Gates, then chief software architect at the company said, "The Tablet takes cutting-edge PC technology and makes it available wherever you want it, which is why I'm already using a Tablet as my everyday computer. It's a PC that is virtually without limits–and within five years I predict it will be the most popular form of PC sold in America."
Gates was right, but it wasn't Microsoft's tablet that would become the most popular form of PC – it was Apple's. Steve Jobs introduced the iPad in 2010. This week Apple said it had sold over 100 million iPads since it launched.
Yet according to Sinofsky and Julie Larson-Green, VP in charge of the Windows 8 user experience, Microsoft started building Windows 8 before the iPad was even announced.
"We had been thinking about Windows 8 before Windows 7 shipped. The iPad wasn't out, there was a rumor of something, but it [the iPad] wasn't out until after we had created our vision," Larson-Green tells me.
A Different Perspective Than Apple
We'll never know what route Microsoft might have taken had Apple not released the iPad. But Sinofsky doesn't speak of the iPad with jealousy. In fact, he points out how impressed he has been.
"You can't help but be impressed with the work that Apple did on developing the iPad. They took the iPod then they made it an amazing phone and then they made an amazing phone with a bigger screen with the iPad."
But he's quick to explain how Microsoft sees tablets differently than Apple.
"But we have a different perspective. A different reason why we would want to make a tablet computer and that is really rooted in PCs being a general-purpose device that works within a broad ecosystem, that connects to a lot of peripherals, and represents an open platform," he said.
Windows 8 tries to connect two worlds – the world of brand-new touch interfaces, like the ones on smartphones, and the older world of the desktop interface. The software has a new Start Screen, with a series of apps that are displayed as colorful squares and rectangles. It has an app store, the ability to swipe in open apps from the left hand side, and swipe from the right to bring up shortcuts. It's an entirely new user paradigm based on using touch, until you click on a Desktop app on the Start Screen. For the most part, there you can use Windows like you always.
But Not Leaving Everything
"We had this great foundation of people who knew how to use the desktop, but we wanted to make Windows more touch first," Larson-Green says. "We wanted to embrace that, but we didn't want to throw away the past and all the familiarity with the way Windows has worked before. We wanted to provide that best of both."
It's a starkly different approach than Apple, which has a mobile operating system called iOS for the iPhone and iPad and then its OS X software for MacBook laptops and desktops. Apple has started to bring the two together in some ways by adding features of iOS to OS X, but they are still in their own silos.
Where Apple stands is clear: "You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those aren't going to be pleasing to the user," Apple CEO Tim Cook quipped about Microsoft's plans in April.
"People expected we would start with the phone and build it up, but there are so many things the PC can do that we knew people wanted to do. We wanted to start with the PC and the capabilities of the PC and not make people choose," Larson-Green said.
Sinofsky said the same thing: creating just a tablet operating system for Microsoft wasn't an option.
"We always envisioned a tablet that could do more than be a tablet. All the tablets you get with Windows 8 come with USB ports. USB ports can be used for storage, but you can also plug a keyboard or mouse. You cannot take that power and flexibility out of Windows. That is a huge advantage. That's why when you use a Windows tablet it has Microsoft Office on it; you have the full power to use Office."
The iPad, on the other hand, lacks some of that flexibility. It requires iTunes to sync and special adapters for hooking up a camera.
Work is Cool, Too
This isn't the first time Office was mentioned at my visit to the campus. Sinofsky and Larson-Green stressed the importance of Office as a differentiator for the new software since it allows Windows 8 to bridge work and play.
"It goes back to the difference in the 1990s when Windows came about. When PCs were from that era, you went to work and used your PC and then you watched TV and DVDs. Entertainment didn't really cross into those very often," Sinofsky said. "Those boundaries aren't part of the generation we are in now. Those boundaries don't really exist anymore."
That's the thinking behind the software, but also so much of the hardware coming out with Windows 8. Most of the tablets come with keyboards and most of the laptops come with touchscreens. Some screens pull out of the keyboard, some flip around, and then some regular laptops and monitors have touchscreens. It's all about what Microsoft calls its "no compromise" solution.
I asked Sinofsky about the image of Windows as uncool – the meme from those Mac vs. PC commercials. Wearing a blue sweater, jeans, and sneakers, he certainly isn't the nerdy guy in the suit or a Bill Gates doppelganger. He answers the question not denying the notion, but embracing part of it.
"One of the things that I found interesting over the last couple of years is that work is cool too. There was a famous picture of the situation room in the White House with all Windows PCs running. I think that is super cool," he says. "PCs are as much about fun as they are about work. With every generation of new products we have an opportunity to broaden the common view of what is going on."
Changing the User
It's all about change. That's the message in Redmond over the last couple of months since Microsoft has reinvented its logo, the design of its key services, and now the most popular operating system in the world.
But one piece of that change Microsoft can't control is its users. Over one billion people use Windows PCs today, Sinofsky notes. For those that choose to upgrade or buy a new Windows 8 PC, an entirely new experience awaits -- one that will force changes they might not want.
Microsoft has braced for the change with educational tools, including videos, animations when you boot up a new Windows computer, and even pamphlets included in new computers box. It's another striking difference between Apple and the company. But Sinofsky doesn't see it as a risk and is confident that we will adapt, just like Microsoft has had to.
"Any time you change something there are always going to be people who take a minute and want to adjust," he says. "Over the history of PCs and technology we have undergone a plethora of changes and the best part about the PC world is that the most flexible, most adaptable, the element of the system that is most likely to be able to change is the person in front of it."
Finally, I asked Sinofsky how Microsoft can ensure it won't continue to trail behind Apple.
"There are always times when you might not be first, but you can be better. We are always going to be first when we can be first, but when we are not first we want to be better."
Better is hard to say at this point. But different – different than Apple, different than what it has stood for in the past, and different than the frumpy and nerdy guy in the suit – that is what Microsoft is betting on in the post-PC world.

In 2010, teachers were told that Muslims would not be permitted to wear the niqab, the garment covering the entire body except for slits across the eyes. The guidance, circulated in Ireland by bishops among more than 450 schools, said that although staff should respect the religious rights of non-Catholics, it was "unsatisfactory for a teacher not to be able to see and engage properly with a pupil whose face was covered". Opponents of the ban argue that it religious expression is a basic human right and muslims should be able to wear the Niqab in every school. Proponents of the ban argue that the Niqab is a religious symbol that should not be worn at Catholic Schools. See recent Niqāb news

By now, anyone using Google Reader should probably know that it's going to shutdown on July 1 this year. Personally, I think it's a shame, but not entirely unexpected.
I use Google Reader daily and in fact it's the only Google service I still have need for (although I've kept Gmail as a backup mail service – it's good to have a secondary address that can be used for temporary communication, particularly with one use web sites). Once the decision was taken to let the feedburner service run down I always assumed Reader wouldn't be far behind.
I think there are some issues with the concept of RSS as a "consumer" technology – these implementations never quite gained the popularity I think they should have. I've introduced other people to the idea and seen how it can help ease the way that updates are retrieved from web sites. Anyone working online should have least have tried it, but I think the perception was always that it's a geeky tool and little used. Hopefully the outcry around the web about Google's decision will contradict that.
One of the comments I was most interested in around this decision was from Dave Winer. Dave makes two points that are worth mentioning; Firstly around his favoured "River of News" approach, I think this is personal preference. One of the reasons I like the Reader style RSS approach (or inbox style, as he refers to it) is that I don't miss the stories – rivers mean that much is missed, if I don't see the story when it's still onscreen I may never see it (this incidentally is my biggest complaint with Twitter as well). The way that I, and in my experience, most other people use RSS is to have that collection of stories that I can come back to when *I* want. If I'm out for a few days I can skim over the list and read as much or as little as I like. I also find the Inbox metaphor constricting – these are not messages to me and no-one is expecting a response; if I mark all as read, no-one is going to chase me for a response!
Dave's second interesting point is also, to me, somewhat ingenuous.
Next time, please pay a fair price for the services you depend on.
I, like most people are happy to pay for a good service and there are paid for services out there, unfortunately they are, from what I've seen just not as good (for various definitions of good) as Google Reader. Quite frankly, everything else I've tried to use so far has fallen short. I have paid for apps that provide a front-end to Google Reader (on both iPhone and Mac) that ultimately use the service as a back end. These add value to the experience.
I'll obviously be checking out alternatives to Google Reader from now. Any suggestions would be welcome!

We all know that each Christmas Santa travels all over the world bearing presents and good will. And surely anyone's dream must be to make a return visit to him in his very own office? Well now you can!.
Santa's Office far away in the North of Finland on the Arctic Circle is quite unique in that every day of the year people come from all over the world to see him there. Thousands upon thousands of them. Santa's Office is a place where dreams come true.
These pages allow you to take a peep inside Santa's Office. You will naturally meet the man himself, for whom the virtual world is as familiar as, say, the reindeer grazing grounds of his own home mountain or the chimneys of Manchester. And maybe you'll find the answers to some of the questions that have been puzzling you. For there are so many strange stories about Santa going round the world, each more peculiar than the last, that they often make Santa chuckle out loud.
Long, long ago | Santa and christmas | Santa's present list | Some questions for Santa
Long, long ago
Far, far away in the north, amid the endless wilderness of Finnish Lapland, is a mysterious mountain called Korvatunturi. Right at the foot, hidden from human eyes and ears, lives Santa Claus with his wife, his elves and his reindeer. He's in fact been living there so long that he can't quite remember when he first moved in. He doesn't actually say much about his home, but he does let on that, as its name - Ear Mountain - suggests, it's an excellent place for hearing and receiving the hopes and dreams of people of all ages.
Santa is anxious to keep his secrets; they are, after all, an important part of the Christmas story. But a traveller who happened to be passing about a hundred years ago brought news that soon spread of the mountain and its inhabitants. Santa wanted to make sure his hiding place was not invaded with visitors and hit upon a brilliant idea that would allow all his friends and anyone who loved Christmas to come and meet him. About half a century ago he began making regular visits to the Arctic Circle just outside the town of Rovaniemi.
Korvatunturi lies far, far away in the wilds of Lapland, but then if you live down south, the Arctic Circle may seem a long way away. And because Santa doesn't want anyone to be disappointed, he has promised to be at his Office on the Arctic Circle every single day of the year, ready to receive friends from near and far.

text: Insurance Protects Financial Security June 30, 2012 05:09 AM Disability, life and long-term care insurance provide reassurance Farmers are quick to protect against the risks that could jeopardize their bottom line, but few think about the consequences if something happens to them. In the event of an accident, could your farm survive? Securing his farm's future is top of mind for Iowa farmer Chris Barron. To guarantee that happens, he makes sure more than one employee is competent enough to keep the various aspects of the operation going should those in management suffer an injury or even worse. "I don't want to be the only one who knows how to do what I do," Barron says of the farm's record-keeping procedures. Most people assume they are invincible, but leaving a legacy requires strategic, big-picture planning—and preparing for the worst, explains Farm Journal succession expert Kevin Spafford. Employing a capable workforce and protecting the financial side of the operation with adequate insurance are keys to longevity. Spafford recommends that farm families consider purchasing three types of insurance: disability, life and long-term care. Disability insurance. An important piece of a farm's financial security plan is ensuring that needs are met if the breadwinner is injured and cannot work. "Farmers are often surprised by an initial price quote for disability insurance," Spafford says. "They should weigh the cost of coverage against the probability of loss and the support necessary to maintain the family's financial security." When searching for the policy that is right for you, Spafford emphasizes, it is important to know how much money it takes to support your family. To calculate your pretax income needs, add your required monthly income to any other additional needs (bills that aren't monthly but have a real cost, such as taxes, car maintenance, etc.). To determine your income during disability, add together your disability insurance benefits, your salary, your spouse's salary, investment income and any other income. To calculate monthly coverage excess or deficiency, subtract your total pretax income needs from your income during disability. Once your needs are calculated, seek coverage from an insurance provider. Life insurance. A death can jeopardize financial well-being and the future of the farm. That's where life insurance comes into play—it is designed to provide money when it is needed the most. According to a study by the Life Insurance Marketing and Research Association, more than 6 million households in America do not have a life insurance policy. As a result, 22% will have immediate trouble with daily expenses if the primary wage earner dies, and 26% will be able to meet financial needs for only a few months. To determine how much life insurance coverage is necessary, consider these five key areas: 1. Final expenses. How much money will your family need to resolve things after you pass, including funeral and medical expenses? Are there outstanding debts that your loved ones will have to pay? Are there special needs or educational funds that need to be considered? 2. Income replacement. If the sole wage earner passes, how much money will be required to meet the family's basic needs? Spafford says there are two ways to calculate this figure. The first method is to assume a monthly income need. Multiply that amount by 12 and then divide the result by an assumed investment rate of return to determine necessary income replacement. With the second method, take the monthly need, multiply it by 12 and then again by a set number of years. 3. Overhead expenses. If the primary operator dies, how much money will be needed to ensure that all overhead costs are met to keep the business running? This is generally set up like an income replacement fund, Spafford says, but it is used only for a specific number of years. 4. Estate tax and transfer obligations. When compared with historical figures, today's estate tax rates and exclusion limits are lower. With the current exclusion at $5 million and a 35% tax rate, a couple with a $20 million farm each receives a $5 million exclusion, so only $10 million is subject to tax. At a tax rate of 35%, that's $3.5 million in taxes. 5. Administrative expenses. Who will manage your estate when you pass? Generally, probate fees are involved while your estate is being settled. Include that amount in your life insurance policy. Spafford says this figure is generally calculated as a percentage of the gross estate. In the previous example, $20 million times a 7% probate fee means $1.4 million is needed to settle the estate. Long-term care insurance. Today, long-term care insurance can cover alternative care facilities, home health care and adult day care. As a result, it has become a valuable piece of a family's succession plan. "We do long-term care analysis for every family during the succession planning process," Spafford says. "We recommend coverage when appropriate, discuss alternatives to cover the cost and help families understand the ramifications of a long-term care need." Brigitte Franzen, an adviser with Water Street Solutions, agrees that it's important to plan for long-term care needs. "Farmers think, 'I've always been healthy, it's not going to happen to me,'" she says. "If we're young and healthy, it's easy to assume it will stay that way." As with any insurance, it's crucial that the coverage reflect reality. Consider the types of care the policy covers, what events trigger benefits and whether the policy requires a hospital stay prior to providing benefits for a long-term facility. Spafford suggests calculating your local cost of care to ensure ample coverage. Check to see if the policy has inflation protection, a guaranteed insurability rider and is renewable. Talk to your provider about what coverage is right for you. Calculate Your Necessary Coverage Use these formulas to calculate your insurance needs. Consult your insurance agent before purchasing policies. Disability Insurance Monthly income need additional needs – spouse's salary income from investments other income = necessary amount of coverage Life Insurance Final expenses income replacement overhead expenses estate tax and transfer obligations administrative expenses = necessary amount of coverage Long-Term Care Insurance Average care cost in your area ÷ 12 months = necessary amount of money per month to cover costs Back to news

Yet another class action lawsuit has been filed against Apple this week, once again over that dastardly iPhone battery. California resident Sydney Leung heads up the new complaint with allegations that are near identical to that filed by Illinois resident Jose Trujillo just a few weeks ago. The complaint, as seen by Ars Technica, alleges that Apple has made it a "pattern and practice" to fail to inform a "nationwide group of initial purchasers of the iPhone cellular telephone that annual fees of over $100 would be required to replace the iPhone battery and maintain service while the battery was being replaced."
It also claims that the iPhone battery "must be replaced" after 300 charges—a "fact" that is not exactly true unless you like twisting words—and that the plaintiff was not aware of the unreplaceable battery at the time of purchase. According to the suit, "Neither the box the iPhone was sold in nor the written information within the box explained the costs and procedures required to change the iPhone battery."
Leung's suit demands a jury trial and punitive damages on behalf of the "hundreds of thousands" of users who have purchased iPhones. But as Jade noted in our previous coverage of Trujillo's lawsuit, Apple did in fact make the battery information public before the iPhone went on sale. It's hard to tell whether or not this (and the previous) suit will gain any traction, but we'll keep you updated if either one moves forward.

Individual WorthASL
Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God (D&C 18:10).
I am of infinite worth with my own divine mission, which I will strive to fulfill.
Required Value Experiences
Complete the following three required value experiences. Have your parent or leader sign and date each experience after you finish.
You are a daughter of Heavenly Father, who knows you and loves you. Read Psalm 8:4–6; Jeremiah 1:5; John 13:34; Doctrine and Covenants 18:10; Abraham 3:22–23; and Joseph Smith—History 1:1–20. Write in your journal how these scriptures teach you that Heavenly Father knows you, loves you, and is mindful of you.
Learn about the importance of patriarchal blessings by studying about them in True to the Faith and recent conference talks. Find out why they are given and who can give them. Discuss with a parent or Church leader how to prepare to receive a patriarchal blessing and how it can teach you of your worth and identity and be a guide throughout your life. If you have not received your blessing, prepare to receive it.
Read Doctrine and Covenants 18:10 and 121:45. Do all you can to build others and make them feel of worth. Every day for two weeks notice the worthwhile qualities and attributes of others. Acknowledge them verbally or in writing. In your journal write what you have learned about the worth of individuals and how your own confidence grows when you build others.
Additional Value Experiences
Complete three additional value experiences. You may select from the following options or write up to two of your own. Your parent or leader must approve those you write yourself before you begin. Have your parent or leader sign and date each experience after you finish.
You are preparing now to fulfill a unique mission on the earth. Read Doctrine and Covenants 88:119. In your journal make a list of your hopes and dreams for your future home, family, and education and some important things you would like to accomplish in your life, including becoming a wife and mother. Then write a plan that will help you achieve your goals. Share this plan with a family member, leader, or friend.
Participate in a dance, speech, music, or drama performance at school, in your community, or at church. How did your participation in this activity strengthen your feelings of individual worth and self-confidence? Record your thoughts in your journal.
When you participate in family history, you come to understand your identity and individual worth. Visit with your living relatives to learn as much information about your family history as possible. Then complete a pedigree chart of your family and list the temple ordinances that have been completed for each person.
Heavenly Father has given you special gifts. Read 1 Corinthians 12:4–12; 13; Moroni 7:12–13; 10:8–18; and Doctrine and Covenants 46:11–26. Ask a family member, a Young Women leader, and a friend to write down positive qualities the Lord has given you. List your gifts in your journal, and write how you can continue to develop these gifts and use them to serve your family and others.
Personalized Value Experiences
Value Project
After you have completed six individual worth value experiences, create a project that will help you practice what you have learned. This should be a significant effort that will take at least ten hours to complete. Prayerfully seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost to select a meaningful project.

A New Global Architecture for Sustainability Governance
Thursday, June 14, 2012
Ahead of Rio+20, the Worldwatch Institute explores ways that governments can move toward a more efficient architecture for environmental institutions
Washington, D.C.—At the upcoming Rio+20 summit from June 20 to 22, political leaders will embark on new measures to achieve sustainability by enhancing institutional capacity. In particular, the summit will seek to improve the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and other institutions in order to enhance the global community's ability to achieve sustainable development. In "A New Global Architecture for Sustainability Governance," Chapter 8 in the Worldwatch Institute's State of the World 2012: Moving Toward Sustainable Prosperity, author and assistant professor of global governance at the University of Massachusetts Boston, Maria Ivanova, examines steps that can be taken to improve UNEP's effectiveness as an environmental institution.
UNEP was conceived at the 1972 Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment as the anchor institution for the global environment. It was envisioned as the global body that would provide leadership and encourage partnership between organizations, nations, and peoples to enhance environmental policy and protect future generations.
Over the 40 years of UNEP's existence, it has become apparent that it suffers from inadequate authority and a lack of resources. These deficiencies have constrained UNEP from inspiring the broad, catalytic environmental policies its creators envisaged.
In order to increase UNEP's efficacy in addressing environmental concerns and improving partnerships, governments are discussing several reform options. One suggestion is to transform UNEP from a subsidiary body of the UN General Assembly into a specialized agency. The other option is to improve UNEP's ability to deliver on its ambitious original mandate and enable it to perform additional functions as necessary without changing its current institutional form.
"No one institutional structure can guarantee effective resolution of environmental problems, especially at the global level," writes Ivanova. She argues that a systemic approach is necessary for success, where solutions begin at the source of challenges, instead of focusing on their symptoms.
In Chapter 8 ofState of the World 2012, Ivanova outlines three ways to reform UNEP:
- Improve authority. At UNEP's conception, other specialized UN agencies questioned its ability to serve as the center of a global environmental network. Today, UNEP is a veteran organization, yet it remains under-publicized and under-utilized. To enhance UNEP's authority, governments should expand its Governing Council to universal membership and enable it to set the global policy agenda for the environment. A smaller, geographically representative board could be charged with operational management. Importantly, UNEP itself could undertake actions to improve its authority and influence, such as recruiting experts to engage more actively in its work and creating an independent scientific advisory body. In addition, a High Commissioner of Sustainability in the Office of the UN Secretary-General could enable sustained cooperation among UN agencies in the environmental, social, and economic fields and bring additional visibility to UNEP as the leading UN body for the environment.
- Enhance connectivity. UNEP has a limited presence outside its headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, which reduces the ability and willingness of distant organizations to collaborate with it on environmental issues. At the same time, UNEP's location in a developing country makes it uniquely qualified to engage with other developing countries at multiple levels of governance. Moreover, connectivity should no longer be an issue, due to improved information and communication technology worldwide. Governments could review the need for an expanded implementation mandate for UNEP. Meanwhile, UNEP could increase its global online presence and enhance its use of social media, promoting its mission to catalyze environmental policies and action. Additionally, UNEP could increase its presence and engagement at the UN headquarters in New York City.
- Increase financial resources. UNEP's lack of financial resources is often attributed to the voluntary nature of its funding. Yet, in 2010, the four largest budgets in the UN system were of UN bodies with voluntary funding mechanisms. Most specialized agencies rely on both assessed and voluntary contributions. To attract and retain donors, UNEP must increase its authority and media presence, and consistently demonstrate the results of its work. To build trust with its donors, the organization could publish comprehensive financial reports that indicate spending in terms of mandated functions. At the same time, governments should consider enacting a limited system of assessed contributions to support UNEP's core work. Financial transparency and a hybrid financing mechanism could enhance UNEP's stability and financial security.
While there is no single solution that will ameliorate all of the challenges UNEP faces, by improving its authority, connectivity, and financial resources, the organization could enhance its ability to be the leading environmental institution on the global stage.
Worldwatch's State of the World 2012, released in April 2012,focuses on Rio+20, the 20-year follow-up to the historic 1992 Earth Summit that was also held in Rio. The report analyzes the steps that are necessary to make progress toward sustainable development.
