Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration open community. open interfaces. open possibilities. - http://open-services.net/html...
Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (also known as OSLC or Open Services) is a community effort to help software delivery teams by making it easier to use lifecycle tools in combination. The OSLC community is creating open, public descriptions of resources and interfaces for sharing the things that software delivery teams rely on, like change requests, test cases, defects, requirements and user stories. - Antoine Bertier

Quartz is a full-featured, open source job scheduling system that can be integrated with, or used along side virtually any J2EE or J2SE application - from the smallest stand-alone application to the largest e-commerce system. Quartz can be used to create simple or complex schedules for executing tens, hundreds, or even tens-of-thousands of jobs; jobs whose tasks are defined as standard Java components or EJBs. The Quartz Scheduler includes many enterprise-class features, such as JTA transactions and clustering. - Antoine Bertier

And now here we are. Right here in your own backyard, an American company creates a brilliant phone, and that company hands it to you, and gives you an exclusive deal to carry it — and all you guys can do is complain about how much people want to use it. You, Randall Stephenson, and your lazy stupid company — you are the problem. You are what’s...

Microsoft & News Corp Eye Web Pact - Microsoft may pay News Corp to 'de-list' its news sites from Google
Microsoft & News Corp Eye Web Pact - Microsoft may pay News Corp to 'de-list' its news sites from Google
"Microsoft has had discussions with News Corp over a plan that would involve the media company's being paid to "de-index" its news websites from Google, setting the scene for a search engine battle that could offer a ray of light to the newspaper industry. The impetus for the discussions came from News Corp, owner of newspapers ranging from the Wall Street Journal of the US to The Sun of the UK, said a person familiar with the situation, who warned that talks were at an early stage. However, the Financial Times has learnt that Microsoft has also approached other big online publishers to persuade them to remove their sites from Google's search engine. News Corp and Microsoft, which owns the rival Bing search engine, declined to comment. One website publisher approached by Microsoft said that the plan "puts enormous value on content if search engines are prepared to pay us to index with them". Microsoft's interest is being interpreted as a direct assault on Google because it puts... more... - sofarsoShawn

this could be the solution for the blogosphere's dilemma on how to monetize? - just list with Bing! :) - sofarsoShawn
very very weird - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
So Microsoft is willing to pay for exclusive search access to some content? Is that this what this is about? - Brian Sullivan
Brian, I think it's about two old style companies trying to do business in old style ways, while the rest of the world moves on. - Cristo
"The impetus for the discussions came from News Corp, owner of newspapers ranging from the Wall Street Journal of the US to The Sun of the UK, said a person familiar with the situation, who warned that talks were at an early stage." -- so this is just posturing likely? I can't see Microsoft paying much for this "privilege". - Brian Sullivan
I think it is more of a case that he said he'd delist his content if not paid, and MS said they might pay to keep it? Still weird - if I dont find something in a search engine but I still get relevant results, I won't even miss it - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
well said @iphigenie, I just said something similar, just from the content provider perspective, in a comment over here: http://www.businessinsider.com/microso... "Once you've been disappeared for a while, people will forget that you were ever there and move on to the next guy in line that was right behind you all along, chomping at the bit for a chance like this." - Alex Schleber
Funny how most people are paying to make their content show up in google. I hope they do it and we can see what happens. Of course if it takes off then sites that search all the search engines will spring up very quickly. - John Cooper

After 25 years of free-market economics, Europe was left nursing an increasingly bitter hangover of philosophical malcontent. Last year’s market collapse vindicated decades of suspicion that the Anglo-Saxon model, which France and Germany had been seduced into adopting, was fundamentally flawed and its architects almost certainly immoral. - http://quotingthecrisis.tumblr.com/post...
It would be quite a claim to suggest that the current reduction in GDP across most economies in Europe negates the benefits we've enjoyed previously - we appear to be seeing simply a painful correction. Re the role of free markets, Germany is a difficult case (given German re-unification) but France's somewhat less than free market approach over the years appears to have given lower economic growth and higher unemployment than the more free market UK. - winckel
I think the point was that the recent year "growth" was purely virtual because debt driven (that's the flawed part), and that after 1980 the growth was not benefiting to "us" but rather to an increasingly smaller number of increasingly richer people (that's the immoral part). Now it is indeed interesting to compare France, Germany and UK, but you have to compare globally not on only one... more... - Antoine Bertier

On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world. Shareholder value is a result, not a strategy . . . Your main constituencies are your employees, your customers and your products. - http://quotingthecrisis.tumblr.com/post...
though important to define if maximising shareholder value in the medium term is your (reasonable) commercial objective - winckel
the point is that maximising shareholder value should not be an objective ! Your commercial objectives should be directly related to the value you provide to your customers with your products and services... - Antoine Bertier
I think in Cryptonomicon there were some funny dialogs around "maximising shareholder value", I have to find the reference - Antoine Bertier
presumably the value the customer perceives is reflected in what he's prepared to pay and as a business you're investing your resources to generate maximum added value from this (thus maximising shareholder value)? - winckel
exactly: the goal is to give customer value, and should eventually result in value also for the shareholders. - Antoine Bertier

What's the quickest/easiest way to convert a song to an iPhone ringtone?
iphone-ringtones.jpg
If it's an AAC track, I think just renaming it to .m4r works. - Brome
Right click, get info>options. Pick your start time and end time of the part of the song you want as a ring tone (preferably 30 seconds), apply. Right click again and convert to AAC. Go to the iTunes Music folder, find the song change the extension to .m4r, add it to the library. Voila Ringtone. Sync with iPhone. This is how I do it. - Faraz Mullick
iPhone does not recognize ringtones longer than 30 seconds I think, but I'm not sure. - Faraz Mullick
or, if you have a mac you can import the track into garage band.. clip out 30 seconds and export it as a ringtone.. but you are gonna be stuck with 30 seconds. And brome - that used to work, apparently doesn't anymore. It's a bit odd because that's how I got my bill hicks "people suck" ringtone last year, but it wouldn't work for my GF's iphone this year. - alphaxion
ok, thanks guys - Zee.

@cannongod I've noticed a lot of mobile phone makers have been crippling bluetooth obex. My palm treo 750 wouldn't let me use obex.. had to find an old laptop with an IR port to move files when a usb port/usb card reader wasn't available. Stop crippling standard features because of the twuntish mobile networks wanting to control your entire experience on the phone. They're not the gate keepers of what goes on, they just provide the connection!! - alphaxion

It seems that the Tumblr importer only imports the primary Tumblelog on the account. I have 2 blogs on Tumblr, I'd like both of them to feed through. Perhaps adjust the Tumblr setup so that you specify the Tumbler URL (custom or plain) rather than a username? It would give more control to the user over what gets fed here.
Thanks for the suggestion, Marlin! - Ross Miller
it already works: the service asks for a user name but in fact if you supply the subdomain name of your other Tumblog (that is the part before .tumblr.com in the url) FF will import it. - Antoine Bertier

Impro-Visor (short for “Improvisation Advisor”) is a music notation program designed to help jazz musicians compose and hear solos similar to ones that might be improvised. The objective is to improve understanding of solo construction and tune chord changes. There are other, secondary, things it can do, such as improvise on its own. It has also been used for transcription. Because rhythm-section (e.g. piano, bass, drums) accompaniment is automatically generated from chords, Impro-Visor can be used as a play-along device. Now having a wider array of accompaniment styles, its use is not limited to jazz. Distributed with Impro-Visor is "The Imaginary Book", a chords-only fakebook with chord progressions to about 2500 tunes. - Antoine Bertier
