Monaco developer calls XBLA sales performance "disappointing"
Monaco: What's Yours is Mine developer Andy Schatz has expressed his disappointment in the Xbox Live Arcade sales performance of his title.
Joystiq reports that Schatz revealed his thoughts on the game's console port during a Q&A with fans on Reddit, stating that he believes his studio's efforts were put to waste on the Xbox 360 version.
"I was never depending on the Xbox being our primary revenue generator, but I was very disappointed in Xbox sales nonetheless," Schatz said.
"We put a ton of effort porting the game, and to have that effort be largely wasted was really disappointing."
Monaco is also available on PC via Steam, and is currently participating in the digital distributor's Summer Getaway Sale.

Hi Jim,
I'm thinking of buying a SMD Lunar Duo, and have the choice of a 30D silnylon floor or a 70D silnylon floor.
In your opinion, would I be better off buying the "ultralight" 30D silnylon floor and applying the treatment in your article, or just buying the standard 70D floor and not bothering with the treatment?
The 70D floor weighs 4 oz more than the 30D. If you add a couple of ounces of coating to the 30D it will still be lighter than the 70D... but would the 70D be more puncture-proof? I don't use a ground sheet, so I'd prefer a stronger floor even if it costs me an extra ounce or two.
The other thing I'm wondering is whether the 70D silnylon is just as slippery as the 30D stuff? If so, I would probably want to coat the 70D floor anyway to stop myself slipping around... in which case the treated 30D might be the way to go.
Any comments or suggestions would be very much appreciated, because I clearly have no idea!
Thanks, James

Honeywell's Lawsuit Against Nest: The Perfect Example Of Legacy Players Using Patents To Stifle Innovation
from the if-you-had-invented-nest,-you'd-be-making-nest-devices dept
But, of course, under a crony capitalist system, the incumbents can't have any of this nasty "disruption." Honeywell was not pleased. Bizarrely, just days before Honeywell filed the lawsuit, it had told GigaOm that it had built something similar to Nest but killed it off because consumers weren't interested. Yeah, this certainly sounds like a company jealous that Nest actually figured out how to truly innovate (bring something to market in a way consumers want) rather than just invent (create something new).
The simple fact here is that consumers really seem to like the Nest, and apparently Honeywell is ill-equipped to compete in the marketplace. So it's response is to sue and try to kill off the competition. It's a sickening display of a legacy company resting on its laurels afraid to actually compete in the market against a disruptive player that's younger and nimbler and actually in touch with what consumers want. Out of this, we get some absolutely ridiculous claims, such as the suggestion that Honeywell has patented the idea of a thermostat asking you what temperature you like, and only Honeywell could do such a thing:
Honeywell also seems to suggest that merely connecting a thermostat to the internet infringes on its patents, because, of course, no one else could have possibly thought of connecting home devices to the internet before Honeywell came along. While the filing also does highlight some evidence that Nest looked at Honeywell thermostats, isn't that how competition works? You look at what others are doing, and figure out how you can do it better? Basically, what Honeywell seems to be admitting is that it can't do it better, so instead it will sue.
Nest's counterclaim hit back pretty hard on a bunch of these points, stating upfront:
This lawsuit is a bald effort by Honeywell to inhibit competition from a promising new company and product in a field that Honeywell has dominated for decades. Nest Labs, with its Nest Learning Thermostat, has generated consumer and critical enthusiasm around the home thermostat -- a device that most people had long since written off as a bland, dumb appliance.... That "blah-looking controller" on the market today is very often from Honeywell, which has long dominated the thermostat market, but has yet to generate a device that offers ordinary consumers as much as the Nest Learning Thermostat. Instead of countering product innovation with its own new products, Honeywell has a track record of responding to innovation with lawsuits and overextended claims of intellectual property violations.Nest also points out that Honeywell has lost previous lawsuits that similarly appeared to be bullying competitors. The Nest response doesn't just call out the company for what it's obviously trying to do, but further claims that all of the patents are "hopelessly invalid" and points to prior art that raises significant questions about the validity of the patents in play.
Nest also files some counterclaims for declaratory judgment -- which basically start out as a long commercial about Nest and how awesome everyone thinks it is. While this may seem out of place, there's a reason for this. The company is trying to demonstrate that it's not just a clone of Honeywell, but that it (not Honeywell) is the true innovator here. It not only pumps itself up, but provides plenty of evidence of Honeywell's own failures to innovate.
The latest news is that Honeywell has now filed its own response to Nest's counterclaims and (not surprisingly), Honeywell is not at all happy. It says that Nest's counterclaims are "self-serving characterizations based on Nest Labs' unfounded opinions and speculations that are irrelevant to Honeywell's valid claims..." These are legal filings, so I'm pretty sure that all of them are "self-serving." As for whether or not they're "unfounded opinions and speculations," that seems like a pretty big stretch from Honeywell, in an attempt to smear any competition making valid legal arguments against them.
Either way, it does not seem like either side is likely to back down any time soon. So, what remains is a classic case of a legacy industry player who failed to adapt reacting to the young upstart everyone likes by going legal, rather than actually competing. This is pretty short-sighted. If it actually competed in the market it might learn why people like the Nest device and why they're buying them instead of Honeywell thermostats. All I know is that my house has a Honeywell thermostat currently, and this lawsuit makes me much more interested in buying a Nest device to replace it.

About Kristian H
I spoke today with Steve Schultz and have confirmed more information with the Master Distributor (Dale Johnson) at FDI. The Telecom announcements being made in 2 weeks are very marketable, especially in an economy like this.
The US being the 63rd (maybe 62nd?) country that this telecom company is launching in makes me feel good - phones and service has been in use over here for years, just not yet in the states.
Global Verge vs FDI (as I see it)
GV = tons of negative press and lots of unanswered questions and a history of misinformation (trying to be nice)
FDI = can't find any dirt
GV = $79.95/mo for unlimited cell service
FDI = $30/mo for unlimited cell service
What would my mom and brother and friends choose? Hmm
Very open to new information - please email me any pertinent info and I'll repost as necessary. firstname.lastname@example.com

Osmolality is a test that measures the concentration of all chemical particles found in the fluid part of blood.
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed.
How to Prepare for the Test
Do not eat for 6 hours before the test. Your doctor may tell you to temporarily stop taking any medicines that may interfere with test results. Such medicines may include water pills (diuretics).
How the Test will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. These soon go away.
Why the Test is Performed
This test helps check your bodys water balance. Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of any of the following:
- Low sodium (
hyponatremia) or water loss
- Poisoning from harmful substances such as ethanol, methanol, or ethylene glycol
- Problems producing urine
In healthy people, when osmolality in the blood becomes high, the body releases
This hormone causes the kidneys to reabsorb water. This results in more concentrated urine. The reabsorbed water dilutes the blood. This allows blood osmolality to fall back to normal.
Low blood osmolality suppresses ADH. This reduces how much water the kidneys reabsorb. Dilute urine is passed to get rid of the excess water, which increases blood osmolality back toward normal.
Normal Results
Normal values range from 275 to 295 milliosmoles per kilogram.
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Higher than normal levels may be due to:
Diabetes insipidus
- High blood sugar level (
- High level of nitrogen waste products in the blood(
- High sodium level (hypernatremia)
Strokeor head trauma resulting in decreased ADH secretion
- Water loss (
Lower than normal levels may be due to:
- ADH oversecretion
- Adrenal gland not working very well
- Conditions linked to
lung cancer
- Drinking too much water or dilute fluid
- Low sodium level (
- Underactive thyroid gland
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

With emotionally provoking videos, introspective questions, and tips for leading a small group, Liquid is the perfect experience for individual growth or small group study. Based on some of the most famous biblical parables, such as the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son, Mirror Image tells the story of a family who faces dramatic events and must choose how to respond. Their story reminds us that Jesus's revolutionary teachings ask us to change the way we think - to look at things from a different perspective - in order to make a difference in this world.

Well, another trade deadline has come and gone without your Mets doing anything substantial. Wait, I meant, without doing anything at all. I have no problem with the organization wanting to protect its prospects. I can't get on Omar Minaya for that.
As a general manager, his job is to protect the franchise, and that's what he did when he said no to those vultures wanting Ike Davis, or Jonathan Niese, or Josh Thole, or Jenrry Mejia.
What I can find fault with is ownership not moving in the offseason to address its pitching needs. I didn't like it at the time, and I'll repeat: Their priority last winter was pitching and not Jason Bay.
With what Bay has given them, it isn't out of line to wonder if his contract will fall in the same bin as that of Oliver Perez and Luis Castillo. It might be too early to jump to that conclusion, but I'll bet I'm not the only one to wonder.
What the Mets have done today and for the last month as they floundered was choose their future over their present. They have told us they do not think they are good enough to win this season without a miracle finish.
They were further behind with less time remaining in 1969, but won. Mathematically, it is still possible. But, I'm not counting on any miracles this time around.
Hell, they haven't been able to beat Arizona. How can we expect them to run the table?

Lil Boosie Found Not Guilty!
" Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie, whose real name is Torence Hatch, has been found not guilty of murder. The jury deliberated for about an hour. Supporters are cheering outside the 19th Judicial Courthouse in Baton Rouge. Hatch and his defense team hugged and began crying once the verdict was read. Prosecutors said Hatch hired Michael Louding, also known as "Marlo Mike," to kill Terry Boyd. The 35- year-old was shot to death through a window while inside his home in 2009. Hatch is currently serving an 8-year prison term on drug charges and is being held in the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. In its closing, the prosecution said the evidence speaks for itself. Prosecutor Dana Cummings said Louding admitted on interrogation tape that Hatch gave him $2,800 in $20s after the murder. She said Carvis "Donkey" Webb and Hatch worked on Louding to get him to tell the "truth." According to Cummings, during phone calls to Louding, Webb told him, "Follow my lead and you coming home Marlo." She also told the jury Hatch wrote in a letter to his mother that he might have said some things that incriminate him. Cummings said the lyrics in Hatch's songs again prove his intent. She said in the phrase "Yo Marlo" he even calls out his hit man. "That's billboard strong," Cummings said." - 9 News

Talk:1191: The Past
WOW. When I first read the comic, I assumed it was making an analogy to current countries. Like ones that have been invaded because of their oil reserves. When I saw the image-text, my thought was "We can destroy time like we've destroyed these countries." The above explanation makes a lot more sense. 188.8.131.52 06:17, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think there's a distinction. "If history has taught us anything, we can use that information to destroy it". If you destroy the country in the past, then you 'destroy' that timeline of history. (Of course, current consensus seems to be that you'd branch off into a new timeline and both will exist in parallel universes, but nonetheless - to the antagonist - it could well count as a destruction. 220.127.116.11 08:50, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
- Perhaps, but nothing I was saying was referring to time travel. 220.127.116.11 00:47, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
The past is a foreign country most probably means his own country. You would not conquer your own country today, but the past is something totally different - it is foreign and ready for exploitation.
Anyone else thinking of time travel? I think BlackHat was planning to get a time-machine (somehow), bring a whole army through and conquer a nation. It's an easier way to become a mighty overlord, ruling over continents and enslaving millions of people. World domination turn out to not impossible after all, aside from the time-travel stuff. 184.108.40.206 02:43, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
- BHG has made a time machine before. http://xkcd.com/1063/ 18.104.22.168 04:46, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
Does this have anything to do with the previous comic (Time) ? I'm guessing (out of the blue) that the next comic will be "The Present", and the next one "The future". 126.96.36.199 12:43, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
Did anyone think about Iraq? This comic comes quite close to the 10-year anniversary of the war, and the description of the "foreign country" quite resembles what Iraq was at the time. 126.96.36.199 19:28, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
- Did anyone NOT think about Iraq? I though THAT parallel is so basic it doesn't need to be mentioned ... although mentioning the anniversary probably make sense, this information may be lost when someone will see this page later ... -- Hkmaly (talk) 12:14, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- I didn't really think about Iraq, but I did think about Gruinmarkt even though this isn't time travel as such. --Pmakholm (talk) 12:56, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
Something should be mentioned about Black Hat incorrectly finishing Cueball's sentence(s). 220.127.116.11 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
"If a country from the past existed in its old state today, other countries would likely leap at the opportunity to exploit its oil reserves." Shouldn't that say United States instead of other countries. Not all countries are oil-hungry warmongers. Tharkon (talk) 19:20, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
I think Black Hat is saying that the past is a foreign country that physically exists, we should take it over for oil. 220.127.116.11

Several things going on with the Mets, but nothing of imminence about to happen. Thought I'd throw out these thoughts to you:
* If Jose Reyes is that deep into talks with the Marlins, then it stands to reason Miami's key player – Hanley Ramirez – is on board with it and the idea of moving to third base. The Marlins would be stupid to alienate their best player by going after somebody who plays the same position without running the idea past him. To think otherwise would be naive.
* Sandy Alderson came out of the GM meetings in Milwaukee saying Daniel Murphy was available. If the Mets are willing to listen to offers for David Wright, then it is logical to think so is everybody else. Murphy has shown in his limited window an ability to hit for average and get on base, but he's also demonstrated a propensity for getting hurt and an inability to play a position. Murphy might go as part of a package, but seriously, do you see any team calling the Mets and saying, "we have to have Murphy," so what will it take? Plus, coming off an injury, who will bite on that without knowing if he can play? Murphy will be with the Mets in spring training.
* Work has already begun on moving in the fences, which I think is a gimmick move that will eventually back fire. The Mets didn't win at home last year, so the thinking has to be to come out and at least watch them hit more home runs. Trouble is, with the Mets' suspect pitching, so will the opposition. So, what the Mets might add in terms of run production, they will give up as many, if not more. And, I don't care about Wright's ego. He shouldn't be thinking about home runs anyway, but concentrating on striking out less and getting on base more.
* Did you see where Anna Benson will be on a show "Baseball Wives?" More classy programming. Unless she's in a bikini, or less, it is Must Miss TV.

By TIFFANY REPECKI - Cape Coral Daily Breeze
As local children begin breaking in their new bicycles, scooters and skateboards from Christmas, the Cape Coral Fire Department reminds drivers and parents about one important element - safety.
With a spike in bicycle-versus-vehicle crashes in the Cape in 2013, motorists are urged to pay special attention to children out on their new toys, while parents should go over safety with the youth.
"The biggest concern that we see regarding bicycle safety is the fact that we have year-round weather," Michael Heeder, spokesman for the fire department, said. "Conditions that allow children to get out and ride their bikes all the time."
"We want to remind drivers, especially, that you always have to be cognizant of pedestrians and bicyclists," he said.
Many of this year's accidents involved bicyclists veering into the road or not crossing at a proper spot, like a crosswalk. They should use crosswalks and be aware that they are sharing the road with vehicles.
"A lot of smaller children are not going to be aware of approaching vehicles," Heeder noted.
Fact Box
Know Bicycle hand signals
Bicyclists have special hand signals to tell motorists or other riders what they are about to do, just like vehicles have turn signal lights and brake lights.
* An extended left arm means the rider is turning left.
* A raised left hand means a right turn.
* An extended left arm with the forearm pointing downward means they are about to stop.

Motorists who find themselves sharing the road with a bicyclist should slow down and swing wide, allowing for at least 3 feet or 4 feet of clearance. Avoid honking at a cyclist, and always yield to them.
Drivers should check over their shoulder before moving back into a lane to ensure there is space.
As for parents, adults should know the rules of the road and children should be reminded.
Heeder explained that wearing a helmet is the No. 1 safety rule.
"If everyone would take the time to wear a helmet, that would reduce the severity of head trauma in a multitude of ways," he said.
More than 300,000 children reportedly go to the emergency room for bicycle-related injuries each year nationwide.
The helmet must fit correctly, not too snug nor too loose. The straps also must fit snugly not tightly - just enough to keep the helmet securely in place, according to Heeder.
"The same rules apply for scooters as they do for bicycles," he said, adding that skateboarders are viewed as pedestrians. "Make sure they're wearing the proper protective equipment."
Florida law states that a bicyclist who is under 16 years of age must wear a bicycle helmet that is properly fitted, is fastened securely upon their head by a strap and meets the federal safety standard for helmets. Violators can be issued a warning, or even assessed a $15 fine for a pedestrian violation.
Heeder also suggested using the proper reflectors and lighting on bicycles.
"Make sure that you're very visible to others around you and you can see in front of you," he said.
Parents should regularly do a safety check on their child's bicycle.
"Bicycles are just like any other vehicle. They need to be maintained and inspected," Heeder said.
Check the bike every few weeks for height and adjust if necessary. Feet need to be flat on the ground when standing and straddling the top bar of the bicycle. There should be 1 inch to 3 inches of space between the child's body and the top bar of the bike.
"For children, you need to make sure the bike is at the right height," he said.
Check the oil and chain, as well as the tires and brakes, to see that they are working correctly.
Parents should direct children to keep their gaze ahead to anticipate any obstacles or road hazards coming their way. Be careful with driveways and vehicles coming out of garages. Children should be taught to ride on the right side of the street and walk their bikes when crossing busy intersections.
"Use crosswalks and follow traffic signals, like any other vehicle," Heeder said.

Any kid who ever tap-danced at a talent show or put on a curly wig and auditioned for Annie can only dream of being as beloved — or as important — as Shirley Temple.
Temple, who died Monday night at 85, sang, danced, sobbed and grinned her way into the hearts of Depression-era moviegoers and remains the ultimate child star decades later. Other pre-teens, from Macaulay Culkin to Miley Cyrus, have been as famous in their time. But none of them helped shape their time the way she did.
Dimpled, precocious and adorable, she was America's top box office star during Hollywood's golden age and such an enduring symbol of innocence that kids still know the drink named for her: a sweet, nonalcoholic cocktail of ginger ale and grenadine, topped with a maraschino cherry.
Her hits — which included Bright Eyes (1934), Curly Top (1935), Dimples (1936) and Heidi (1937) — featured sentimental themes and musical subplots, with stories of resilience that a struggling American public strongly identified with.
Her early life was free of the scandals that have plagued Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan and so many other child stars — parental feuds, drug and alcohol addiction — but Temple suggested that in some ways she grew up too soon.
She stopped believing in Santa Claus at age six, she once said, when "Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph."
For millions, she was much more than an entertainer; she was a tribute to the economic and inspirational power of movies. She was credited with helping to save 20th Century Fox from bankruptcy and was praised by everyone from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to ordinary fans as a bright spirit during a gloomy time.
She was "just absolutely marvelous, greatest in the world," director Allan Dwan told filmmaker-author Peter Bogdanovich in his book Who the Devil Made It: Conversations With Legendary Film Directors.
"With Shirley, you'd just tell her once and she'd remember the rest of her life," said Dwan, who directed her in Heidi and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.
"Whatever it was she was supposed to do — she'd do it . . . . And if one of the actors got stuck, she'd tell him what his line was — she knew it better than he did."
In 1999, the American Film Institute ranking of the greatest screen legends put Temple at No. 18 among the 25 actresses.
Her achievements did not end with movies. Retired from acting at 21, she went on to hold several diplomatic posts in Republican administrations, including ambassador to Czechoslovakia during the sudden collapse of communism in 1989.
Temple, known in private life as Shirley Temple Black, died at her home near San Francisco, surrounded by family members and caregivers, publicist Cheryl Kagan said. The cause of death was not disclosed.
She appeared in scores of movies and kept children singing On the Good Ship Lollipop for generations. From 1935 to 1938, she was the most popular screen actress in the country and was a bigger draw than Clark Gable, Joan Crawford or Gary Cooper.
"I have one piece of advice for those of you who want to receive the lifetime achievement award: Start early," she quipped in 2006 as she was honoured by the Screen Actors Guild.
But she also said that evening that her greatest roles were as wife, mother and grandmother: "There's nothing like real love. Nothing." Her husband of more than 50 years, Charles Black, had died a few months earlier.
In Bright Eyes, Temple introduced the song On the Good Ship Lollipop and did battle with a charmingly bratty Jane Withers, launching Withers as another major child star.
She teamed with the great black dancer Bill "Bojangles" Robinson in two 1935 films with Civil War themes, The Little Colonel and The Littlest Rebel. Their tap dance up the steps in The Little Colonel (at a time when interracial teamings were rare in Hollywood) became a landmark in the history of film dance.
At age six, she won a special Academy Award — and was presented with a miniature Oscar statuette — in 1935 for her "outstanding contribution to screen entertainment" in the previous year.
Temple's mother, Gertrude, worked to keep her daughter from being spoiled by fame and was a constant presence during filming. Her daughter said years later that her mother had been furious when a director once sent the mother off on an errand and then got the child to cry for a scene by frightening her. "She never again left me alone on a set," she said.
Temple became a nationwide sensation. Mothers dressed their little girls like her, and a line of dolls was launched. They are now highly sought-after collectibles.
Her fans seemed interested in every last golden curl on her head: It was once guessed that she had more than 50. Her mother was said to have done her hair in pin curls for each movie, with every hairstyle having exactly 56 curls.
Her immense popularity prompted Roosevelt to say: "As long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right."
Decades later, her interest in politics brought her back into the spotlight.
She made an unsuccessful bid as a GOP candidate for Congress in 1967. After Richard Nixon became president in 1969, he appointed her as a member of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations General Assembly. In the 1970s, she was U.S. ambassador to Ghana and later U.S. chief of protocol.
She then served as ambassador to Czechoslovakia during the administration of President George H.W. Bush. A few months after she arrived in Prague in mid-1989, communist rule was overthrown in Czechoslovakia as the Iron Curtain collapsed across Eastern Europe.
"My main job (initially) was human rights, trying to keep people like future President Vaclav Havel out of jail," she said in a 1999 Associated Press interview. Within months, she was accompanying Havel, the former dissident playwright, when he came to Washington as his country's new president.
She considered her background in entertainment an asset to her political career.
"Politicians are actors too, don't you think?" she once said. "Usually if you like people and you're outgoing, not a shy little thing, you can do pretty well in politics."
Born in Santa Monica, Calif., to an accountant and his wife, Temple was little more than three when she made her film debut in 1932 in the Baby Burlesks, a series of short films in which tiny performers parodied grown-up movies, sometimes with risque results.
Temple's expert singing and tap-dancing in the 1934 movie Stand Up and Cheer! first gained her wide notice. The number she performed with future Oscar winner James Dunn, Baby Take a Bow, became the title of one of her first starring features later that year.
Also in 1934, she starred in Little Miss Marker, a comedy-drama based on a story by Damon Runyon.
Her appeal faded as quickly as it had emerged. She missed a shot at playing Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz when 20th Century Fox chief Darryl Zanuck refused to lend out his greatest asset; the part went to Judy Garland. And The Little Princess in 1939 and The Blue Bird in 1940 didn't draw big crowds, prompting Fox to let Temple go.
