The 35 Best iPhone Apps Of The Year (So Far) This guest post was written by Alex Ahlund, founder of AppVee. We are just past of a year since the App Store launched and there are more than 60,000 applications released for the iPhone and iPod Touch. When we wrote our 2008 year-end app wrap-up, we had just surpassed the 10,000 app milestone. In early June 2009, the store reached 50,000 apps. At present, we are looking at a staggering 300 new applications being released every single day. Unfortunately, the process is entirely overwhelming for the average iPhone user. There are new third party services and tools coming onto the scene to help show how to best navigate the App Store. The following is a round-up of our top picks so far this year: Most practical 1. A fantastic alternative to Pandora, which carries a larger catalog and offers Premium accounts that offers something we’ve always loathed about Pandora – unlimited song skips. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18.
Pet dog cooked, eaten A man who cooked his pet dog in a backyard barbecue cannot be prosecuted because it was killed humanely, says the SPCA. South Auckland man Paea Taufa was found roasting his pitbull terrier-cross in an umu pit at his home in Mangere, the Sunday News reported. The dog had been skinned and gutted and was partially charred when SPCA inspectors arrived. Mr Taufa said he had been surprised when inspectors arrived because dog was a delicacy in Tonga . "I didn't know I couldn't cook the dog. He had decided to cook the dog because it was too skinny and had become unmanageable. Under the Animal Welfare Act it is legal to kill a dog in New Zealand if the animal is slaughtered swiftly and painlessly. However, SPCA Auckland chief executive Garth Halliday said Mr Taufa's actions were unacceptable. "Although we appreciate the difference of cultures that exist in a place like New Zealand, the SPCA finds this sort of treatment of any animal to be totally unacceptable," he said.
? At Raven, we experiment a lot. We consider our projects as our own version of skunkworks. Sometimes the experiments are driven by mere curiosity, while others are meant to see how far we can push the boundaries of a service. All of our experiments have one common element, problem solving. When we first created the kl.am URL shortener, we did it to solve a problem. Campaign variables are great, because you can assign a source, medium, and name, like Twitter and/or Social Media Campaign. So campaign variables is the main reason we built kl.am, period. Several months after we debuted an SEO friendly URL shortener that supported campaign variables, many existing and new shorteners added them to their service. With the mass support of campaign variables, it wasn’t necessary for us to keep kl.am running. Spammers use of kl.am became epic. We appreciate everyone who properly used kl.am in their campaigns and on a daily basis.
Холодная война клонов (ссср, газ, автопром, волга, вятка, веспа, стас кулеш, realussr) – Наука и технологии Тема провокационная, но поднимается она всего лишь, чтобы показать - нет дыма без огня. Машина советской пропаганды много лет работала на укрепление духа гражданина СССР. Если верить ей, то практически всё, что не изобрели в древнем Китае, было изобретено у нас. Первое радио, первые телевизоры, лучшее оружие, самые лучшие в мире машины. Очень важно было для поддержания в людях крепости духа воодушевлять их на подвиги, ставя в пример выдающихся предков и их творения. Устройство Бурана, а уж тем более ракетоносительного комплекса "Энергия", конечно, сильно отличается от американского аналога, оттого картинка ниже приведена скорее в виде иллюстрации. В условиях войны, пусть даже холодной, промышленный шпионаж не считается за преступление. Конечно же, в таком способе расширении научного кругозора нет ничего предосудительного, это экономило время и, что немаловажно, деньги. Рассмотрим подробнее некоторые из спорных изобретений и достижений Советской науки. Газ, 1932 и Форд АА 1929.
[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows - Neowin Forums Note: Due to other things going on in my life (work, cars, video games, hanging out with friends, etc), work on this project has essentially ceased. The Tango Shell Patcher is a mostly self-explanatory graphical wizard designed to make integrating the Tango icon set into your system files as easy as installing any other piece of software. Likewise, it includes a reloader to re-Tangofy your system files if necessary, and an uninstaller to restore them to their original state. It currently includes implementations of the Tango icon theme, the Tangerine icon theme developed by the Ubuntu art team, Gnome-Icon-Theme2 and NLD10's Industrial-Icon-Theme, and various pieces of artwork created by myself and culled from various sources to round it out in places. As this is Neowin, your feedback, good or bad, will make this beast all the better. There are some icons that are not patched. Stable Release: 8.06 (2008/06/15) When are you going to add the Ubuntu Human skin to the patcher?

bash.org.ru - Лучшие цитаты дня В одной игре по постапокалипсическому сценарию был квест: зайти в город и спасти чела, которого приговорили к казни. Приговорили его за то, что он не содержал жилище в чистоте и привлек в город тараканов. Вроде годный квест, чтобы пострелять кучу охраны, но когда в тоннелях я увидел этих тараканов с 200HP, которых надо валить из пулеметов, я подумал, что, может быть, власти города и не были сильно не правы. xxx: ты вчера 3 полтораньки пива на балконе оставил?yyy: Да(xxx: тогда у меня для тебя две новостиxxx: теперь я знаю как отделить спирт от пиваxxx: и приглашаю тебя на мороженое ххх: Нет, ну Тициан довольно известный художник на самом деле.ууу: Если он так известен, тогда почему я в первый раз о нем слышу? ххх: Жить хорошо!)

Heartless Doll - Top 10 Best Video Games For Couples Top 10 Best Video Games For Couples Posted at 5:00 AM Aug 24, 2009 By Merritt Martin I'm coming out of the first three months of shacking up with my boy. We're still learning each other's quirks. So, I took it upon myself to trade in some games of my own, ask some pro gamers I know for help and appeal to my boy's desire to please to find some rather awesome games that we can play together. *Keep in mind, I may use boy-girl talk, but that's because it's my experience. 10. Easy pick, but Guitar Hero is excellent for the gamer who's gradually bringing a non-player into his world. 9. From Indiana Jones, to Harry Potter, to Star Wars, the Lego franchise is badass for creating two-player storyline games that couples can play simultaneously. 8. OK, so shoot me, I'm lumping the sports games together. 7. So maybe you like board games but your partner digs on the video. 6. Everyone loves a good driving game.
MyLifeIsAverage - Life Is Normal Today Life Is Normal Today Today after reading about Dumbledore's death I cried for half an hour while my 6 year old daughter comforted me. MLIA My German Shepard has learned to hug... without the obligatory humping! MLIA Today I was walking and I saw a twenty dollar bill on the ground with a string on it. I picked it up and the string broke and then I heard someone from behind a building say "ahhh fidle sticks." Sat down in front of my closet last night to wait for my sister to finish in the bathroom so I could brush my teeth. Today at Goodwill, I sat on a couch waiting while my Aunt was shopping. Today a student was expelled from school because he had been pretending to not speak English for the last 8 months. I missed the first day of school to be on Family Feud. Today, I woke up and was still alive. Today, I saw a very large man driving a very small car. Today, I noticed that the stories here were getting more average.
Official Home of the Free Hugs Campaign - Inspired by Juan Mann - Home How Big Is the Apple iPhone App Economy? The Answer Might Surprise You If I were to tell you that Apple’s app economy was worth more than $2.5 $2.4 billion a year, you would laugh hysterically, shake your head and walk out of the room, yes? Surf on over to some other web site? But here I am telling you exactly that! According to mobile advertising startup AdMob, there are some $200 million worth of applications sold in Apple’s iPhone store every month, or about $2.4 billion a year. Just to put that in context, Apple says about 1.5 billion apps have been downloaded from the App Store. AdMob bases its monthly reports on the usage behavior found on various applications and web sites across its ad network. Why the focus on the iPhone? * Each month, Android and iPhone users download approximately 10 new apps, while iPod touch owners download an average of 18. * Android and iPhone users download eight new free apps per month vs. iPod touch owners, who download twice as many. * iPhone/iPod Touch owners, an average, spend $5 to buy five paid apps every month.
