Disclosures on Palin Raise Questions on Vetting Process

Tuesday at 6:43 am - Link

With time running out — and as Mr. McCain discarded two safer choices, Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, as too predictable — he turned to Ms. Palin. He had his first face-to-face interview with her on Thursday and offered her the job moments later. Advisers to Mr. Pawlenty and another of the finalists on Mr. McCain’s list described an intensive vetting process for those candidates that lasted one to two months. “They didn’t seriously consider her until four or five days from the time she was picked, before she was asked, maybe the Thursday or Friday before,” said a Republican close to the campaign. “This was really kind of rushed at the end, because John didn’t get what he wanted. He wanted to do Joe or Ridge.” - Scott Jarkoff

Japan's Hi-Tech Toilets

Tuesday at 4:44 am - Link

Japan makes the most advanced, remarkable toilets in the world. Japanese toilets can, variously, check your blood pressure, play you music, wash and dry your anus and 'front parts' by means of an in-toilet nozzle that sprays water and warm air, suck smelly ions from the atmosphere, switch on a light for you as you stumble into the bathroom at night, put the seat lid down for you (a function known as the 'marriage-saver') and flush away your excreta without requiring anything as old-fashioned as a tank. These devices are known as high-function toilets, but even the lowliest high-function toilet will have as standard an in-built bidet system, a heated seat and some form of nifty control panel. - Scott Jarkoff

A Fresh Take on The Browser

Monday at 11:22 pm - Link

At Google, we have a saying: “launch early and iterate.” While this approach is usually limited to our engineers, it apparently applies to our mailroom as well! As you may have read in the blogosphere, we hit "send" a bit early on a comic book introducing our new open source browser, Google Chrome. As we believe in access to information for everyone, we've now made the comic publicly available -- you can find it here. We will be launching the beta version of Google Chrome tomorrow in more than 100 countries. - Scott Jarkoff

Beleaguered Japanese PM Resigns

Monday at 7:03 am - Link

Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda, whose popularity plummeted after his government introduced a much-criticized medical plan for the elderly, has announced his resignation, according to media reports. The 72-year-old prime minister said he made his decision last week, and was stepping to down because of the difficulties he has had in carrying out policies, Kyodo said. "It is necessary to try to implement measures under a new framework," Fukuda said, according to the news agency. "I thought now is the best time (to resign) to avoid a political vacuum." - Scott Jarkoff

using old one -- what turned me off BETA -- using bold for nicknames makes me sick, and design with default width for about 1024 pixel makes it not so useful on smaller device (yes, SOME small device(s) is/are with full-fledged browser, only size of screen not that big) - silpol

Sarah Palin Is NOT The Mother

Sunday at 3:05 pm - Link

Yesterday, with the news of Sarah Louise Heath Palin inexplicably being chosen as a Vice-Presidential nominee, the attentive American public was also introduced to her character. Unfortunately for all of us, it was filled with multiple instances of backtracking and outright lies. While Alaskans had been giving her an 80% approval rating, recently 87% of Alaskans polled on the subject of TrooperGate believed she was lying. Now, I've known liars in my life. Their single core problem is not with themselves, but those around them. If they're never called out on their twisting of truths and fabrications, they simply continue to make larger lies. Well, Sarah, I'm calling you a liar. And not even a good one. Trig Paxson Van Palin is not your son. He is your grandson. The sooner you come forward with this revelation to the public, the better. - Scott Jarkoff

8 Channels Added to Yokota Premium Cable

August 31 at 2:03 am - Link

Allied Telesis will add eight channels to its premium cable television lineup at Yokota, an AAFES official in Dallas said in an e-mail to Stars and Stripes.

How to Avoid Having to Reactivate Windows XP After Fresh Install

August 31 at 1:31 am - Link

The only issue with re-installing Windows is that you have to be careful about the reactivation process. By default, if you use the OEM CD that came with your computer when you first bought it, re-installing Windows should be a breeze and you won’t have to reactivate. However, this may not always be the case. If you don’t use the original CD that came with the computer, you may have to re-activate. Also, sometimes even when you use the same CD, it may not force you to re-activate XP. You can avoid having to reactivate XP by simply copying a file from your Windows directory and saving it on a USB stick, floppy drive, or CD. When you first activated Windows, XP creates a file called “WPA.DBL” and stores it in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory. - Scott Jarkoff

Sailors Disciplined for Roles in Fire Aboard George Washington

August 28 at 11:02 pm - Link

Six sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington received nonjudicial punishments for a shipboard fire in May that caused $70 million in damage and injured 37 crewmembers, the Pacific Fleet command said Thursday. The Pacific Fleet refused to release the names and ranks of the sailors disciplined, citing privacy concerns. Filostrat said details of the punishments are an "internal matter" of the George Washington and would not be released. - Scott Jarkoff

Got a Pirated Copy of XP? Expect to be Nagged

August 28 at 11:00 pm - Link

When Windows Vista was first introduced, it came with a powerful defense against pirating. In fact, it was so powerful that paying customers complained when it malfunctioned, and Microsoft wound up making some big changes. Unless Vista was properly activated, it would drop into "reduced functionality mode", in which the only thing you could do with it was access the Internet in order to complete online activation -- or buy a valid product key. In Service Pack 1, the behavior was changed so that the operating system would still operate, but the background turned black and nagging boxes warned you that you "might be a victim of software piracy". Now, Microsoft is going to bring this "feature" to Windows XP Professional with a new version of the Windows Genuine Advantage. - Scott Jarkoff

McCain Decides on Running Mate

August 28 at 10:28 pm - Link

Republican presidential candidate John McCain decided on a running mate early today, and one top prospect, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, abruptly canceled numerous public appearances. The Arizona senator will appear with his No. 2 at an Ohio rally tomorrow, aides said, though they provided no details on who McCain had picked. Without explanation, Pawlenty called off an interview with The Associated Press at the last minute, as well as other media interviews in Denver, site of the Democratic National Convention. - Scott Jarkoff

this is just a link farm.. we can do the same thing uinsg RSS | EMAIL|BLOGGER|GROUPS. Whats the hue and cry about this service? Tell me what is new here underlying a UI ?? - Peter Dawson

@Brad, and heres the same of your lifestream :)- http://lifestreampeter.blogspo... - Peter Dawson

Peter: Do you see the difference of the UIs? Just asking. - and it's not a service. it's a software, since it's FREE and OPEN SOURCE - Mona N.

yes its s/w .. but not on the cloud . and UI is just UI. I really dont see whats the big deal.. thats all. I dont mean to bust any1 ballon, but thats the fact. - Peter Dawson

Peter: it's clean, simple to use, and any non tech savvy person can jump on and click around. the embeddable media is pulled in and displayed / organized. one of the most intuitive templates i've ever seen. plus it's open source and free. why WOULDN'T you jump on it? - Mona N.

I'm going to have to partially agree with Peter. I don't see the big deal either. Sure, it's free and open source but using any aggregator or, creating your own (like Rob does for TGM) is just the same. Creating your own still makes it free. I can't say I like the UI at all. Open source and free doesn't always mean a great product. - Candace Holly

So what about people like me, Candace, who can't create my own? I'm stuck with default templates I have to find around the web. Open Source excites me, because of the possibility of people creating various templates - for free -. I've already showed the site to a few of my non tech friends, and they've all told me it's simple and easy to navigate. - Mona N.

I'd like to see this turn into a Wordpress theme/plugin instead. After installing the auto updater, I don't feel like going through another install process again. - Rodfather

There's plenty of places to get free templates and sites. Wordpress is one. Not a regular WP blog but installing the software in your site itself. There's 50,000 plug ins and ways to customize it (and aggregators too). I think there's more out there with better options. - Candace Holly

Candace, I specifically don't have my own domain because there are way too many choices, too many plug-ins, I don't know how and where to start. I envy you for knowing where to look, because frankly? It's a headache for me. That's the exact reason I haven't registered my own domain. I love the SweetCron UI, it's Tumblr-like look, and the archival system. To each their own :) - Mona N.

Mon, I agree each to their own. I am trying to close out my other thread and flod it back again to this one here. Meanwhile ..all my blogs are archieved in Groups. Did you check the link that I posted ? I created one recusive loop as a poc. albiet its manually, and not a cron. :)- howwever, I can cron the same thing in the fwd manner just using an RSS -2-email | filter | Blogger | groups. thats the core events. Zap up a blogger /CSS tempate and voila I can sweetcron without any download at all. - Peter Dawson

I cheat..I'm still not off WordPress itself . I just mask the name. Getting a domain is easy...godaddy.com! (p.s. Pixelbits.me is available I searched ~_^ ) ..For the record, I have no idea what Peter just said. I need Rob to translate that. - Candace Holly

@Candace, mea culpa. its easy. Get an RSS2email service (R|mail.org). Add RSS feeds to rss2email account,. Each time a new pos is created, it will get email to you. Create a filter rule < all emails tha come from rss2email, fwd to blogger account. This will create a blog entry. Set up your blogger profile to email all BLOGS posts to specific group e,g googlegroups. I one for myself for all my blogs. so its < RSS -2-email | filter | Blogger | groups> . Did that make sense ? - Peter Dawson

Candace: It's deciding on the domain name! LOL @Peter: Aside from the technicalities - I mean good for you for knowing all that -, is your site user friendly? - Mona N.

Ya know, with a tweak or two I could use this as an enterprise dashboard for different topics and existing internal feeds. Then when/if it becomes multi user I could use it as a behind the firewall version of friendfeed for workstreams. Of course workstreams doesn't sound all that fun so i'll have to change that. - Shawn McCollum

Holy wow Shawn... the possibilities! =O - Mona N.

@mona, pls take a look at the what I posted.< http://lifestreampeter.blogspo...> The site I created was a POC, just for the convo . It took less then 15 minutes to completed. Is the UI heck sweet ? NO WAY 1. Does it have the underly principle of cron, very much so !! So all this sweetness in sweetcron really does not rock my boat. Been , there, seen that done that long long time ago. If you into UI only,. then it rocks your boat. - Peter Dawson

Peter: I already did look at your site, Peter. And that is why I stated what I stated. If all of your visitors are people who do not care about UI, then great! You just built a site in under 15 minutes. You're totally awesome :) However, if you read my blog, I explain -- in detail -- WHY SweetCron is right for me :) - Mona N.

It has it's uses, infact it's saved me building a very similar app. Most importantly, it's open source. If it were a hosted pay/month service, it would be useless. - Cains

12 New Rules of Working You Should Embrace Today

August 25 at 4:01 am - Link

The workplace, more and more, is changing, and with this change comes a whole new set of rules. The traditional office work environment and tools are still around, but at a very rapid pace, they’re being supplanted by newer and better tools, newer and better ways of working. The old rules are being broken, and new ones are emerging. You could call this the Workplace of the Future, as not all businesses have adopted these models, and it will be a few years before these new rules are the norm. But for many people (myself included), this is the Workplace of Today — there’s no need to wait for new technologies or tools, because they’re already here. - Scott Jarkoff

Oh, yeah? Well the French eat hamburgers with silverware too.

Most real Indian food is designed to be eaten well mixed with rice or roti, What you get in a restaurant in the US is minus the spice and plus the food coloring, more American than anything else.

LOL! Next question: How much soy sauce do you pour in your 'kozara'? - Mona N.

Depends on how spicy i want it to be...I put a chunk of wasabe in first, then pour in a small amount and mix in the wasabe (easier to mix in the wasabe with a little soy without the wasabe going into little clump balls) and then slowly mix in more soy until it's the right color of greenish brown. Obviously the spicier you want it the more green it will be. But putting the wasabe into the soy sauce might be more of an american thing. - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)

Well, yeah -- eating it with chopsticks always felt weird to me. - Stellina

I would say it's about half and half as far as Japanese people who use hashi vs. hands. Go in to any kaiten and you can see there is no steadfast rule for who does and does not use chopsticks. - Scott Jarkoff
