Will Apple give us a super-sized iPad

According to the latest rumor making it way around the web, Apple is about to become the second manufacturer to enter into the 'super tablet' market. Apple's entry into this new category will be 12.9-inch behemoth iPad that is rumored to make its debut in first quarter of next year.
The Reason for going to a larger iPad can be directly attributed to the the lagging sales that the company has been experiencing over the 2nd and 3rd quarters of this year. While they still remain the leader in tablet sales with a 26.9% share of the market that is down from the 33% they held a year earlier.
The size of the new iPad won't be the only change the company is making to their icon tablet. The super-sized iPad will also support a split-screen so that the tablet will be able to run two apps at the same time making it more business friendly than previous iPads. While a split-screen isn't a new concept to the tablet world it is too the iPad.
Apple making their iPad more business friendly is directly connect to their new alliance with IBM. According to the terms of the partnership IBM will be recommending Apple device and developing enterprise apps. This is a big change for IBM who legitimized the PC when they became the first real competition to Apple in 1981 with the IBM 5150.
The larger iPad is the second time that Apple, Inc has made a size change of their tablet. In October of 2012 the company joined the small tablet market with the 7.9-inch iPad mini. When Apple came out with the iPad mini they were the late comers to a new market that android-based tablets, lead by the Kindle Fire, had all to themselves.
Other than the size and the split-screen not much is know about the rumored larger iPad.

Microsoft drops the price of the Surface 2 RT

Yesterday Microsoft revealed that the are slashing 100 dollars off of the price tag for all three versions of their Surface 2 tablet/laptop hybrid. The price reduction comes just in time for the final round of back-to-school shopping. With the price temporary price reduction coming so close to the begging of the school it kind of makes us wonder if there might be another reason, such as, discontinuation of the surface rt line or just try to move old stock for a yet to be announced model.

Earlier this year Microsoft introduced the Surface Pro 3 to replace the Surface Pro 2. At the same time there was no replacement for the Surface 2 RT and the Surface mini, would have run Windows RT, that was so highly touted was canceled Those two things along with comments made by Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella about merge Windows Mobile and Windows RT into one version could mean that the RT line of the Surface might go on hiatus if not outright discontinued.

According to rumors posted on the news blog Digitimes there could be a Surface 3 RT coming in October. If those rumors are true then an official announcement could come in a media event in either late September or early October when Microsoft will supposedly announce the the beta release of the highly anticipated Windows Threshold/9.

No matter the reason one thing for certain is that until September 27, 2014 you will be able to purchase at the Microsoft store either 32GB, 64GB or 64GB LTE versions of the Surface 2 for $349, $449 or $580 respectfully. Each of versions comes with a 10.6-inch display with 1920x1080 1080p resolution, 2GB RAM, the Nvidia Tegra 4 processor, both a 3.5-megapixel front and a 5-megapixel rear-facing cameras and run Windows 8.1 RT. You will though need to purchase the keyboard cover separately that will be an additional $110 dollars. Microsoft also offers a bundle package where you can purchase the keybord, a gift card for Microsoft's app store, an extended warranty and carrying sleeve extra savings over buying them separately.

The Mariners sweep the Red Sox

The 3-game series between the Seattle Mariners and the Boston Red Sox has had a little of everything. There have been plenty of errors, walks, batters being hit by pitches and a 9^th inning rally. In todays final that bizarre behavior has continued as the usually unshakable Hisashi Iwakuma was not able to pitch his way out of the third inning.

In the top of the 1^st the Seattle Mariners scored three runs on five hits. It would seem that with Iwakuma pitching a win was assured. The bottom of the inning started out looking as though it would be smooth sailing when Iwakuma was able to get two quick outs after giving up a leadoff single. It was not going to be that easy though as the next batter singled to bring in a run. Then two hit batters and another single had us tied at 3 by the time the inning was over. Game tied at 3.

It looked as though the rest of the game would go better when the Red Sox pitcher Allen Webster was able to get the batters out in order. Hisashi Iwakuma came in and was able to match him by getting the batters out in order.

In the top of the 6^th Heath Humbree came in to take over the pitching for the Red Sox. He was able to get the Mariner batters out in order despite a walk, a single and a stole base. The bottom of the inning saw Joe Beimel come in as the new pitcher for the Mariners. He was able to get two quick outs before giving up a single to David Ortiz. Ortiz left the game when his hamstring tightened up from a foul ball hitting him in the shin. Dominic Leone is then replaced by Danny Farquhar. Cespedes then hits a single before Mr. Farquha finally gets Mike Napoli to strike out to end the 6^th.

The 7^th inning starts out with a walk to Austin Jackson. T. Layne comes in to take over the pitching for the Red Sox. A double play and a fly ball quickly end a Mariner and ends the top of the inning. Danny Farquhar makes quick work of the bottom of the inning despite giving up a double and a single.

The top of the 8^th inning saw the Mariners score another run to chase Mr. Layne out of the inning. J Tazawa came in to take over the pitching and quickly gets the next two batters to end the top of the inning. The bottom of the inning saw Charlie Furbush take over as the pitcher for the Mariners.

The rest of the inning was not to go so easy as the Red Sox batters loaded the bases. Fernando Rodney was able to get out the inning without giving up a run on his way to pick up save 39 of the season.  

Even smartphones get into the ice bucket challenge

Carrie Underwood used a front loader, Russell Wilson did it on top of the Space Needle, Kermit the Frog did it in the woods and now both the HTC one and Lumina 930 smartphones have done it. What is it? The ice bucket challenge to raise funds for ALS disease.

On Friday the front office at South Korean-based posted a YouTube video showing their Galaxy S5 taking the ice bucket challenge. When the video start the S5 introduce itself and announces what is about to come. Then after commenting on how cold the water is it challenged the HTC One M8, the Lumina 930 and the iPhone 5s.

Yesterday a video appeared, on Schannel on YouTube, that had both HTC One M8 and Lumia 930 accepting the challenge. The iPhone 5s was conspicuously absent from that video but they did take the challenge in a separate YouTube video. The iPhone did not comment on whether the it did not want to associate with the HTC and Lumina smartphones or just could not make it in time to participate. Which ever of these was the case it was a pleasant surprise to see all three of these smartphones take up the challenge made by their South Korean-based rival.

One of the reason behind Samsung starting this series of challenges is that they wanted show off their waterproofing that is certified at 3 feet for 30 minutes. Having their smartphone take the ice bucket challenge that has become a phenomenon on YouTube proved to be a perfect vehicle. The South Korean-based company did not just do it for publicity they also donated an undisclosed amount to the British Motor Neurone Disease Association to aid in research for disease.

The ALS ice-bucket-challenge videos have become a big sensation over the last month raising millions of dollars for research in finding a cure for this debility disease. ALS is aslo known as Lou Gehrig disease after is shortened the career of New York Yankee slugger Lou Gehrig. The disease slowly robs the body of all motor skills and eventually death of the victims.

UPS stores suffer a security breach

According to a report by the Associated Press 51 UPS (United Parcel Service) stores in 24 states suffered security breaches that compromised the personal data of around 100,000 customers over a 7 ½ period. The United States Department of Homeland Security alerted UPS to this breach on July 31. UPS immediately hired a security firm to go through their 4.460 franchised stores where it was discovered that just over 1% of the stores were infected with malware.

All of the malware was purged from the stores by August 11, 2014. During the clean up it was determined that the stores were first infected on or around January 20, 2014 where it was collecting address, credit and debit card information and customer names. UPS posted a list of all of the stores that were infected and are encouraging customers that had dealings to contact them. They offering those customers one year of identity monitoring.

"I understand this type of incident can be disruptive and cause frustration. I apologize for any anxiety this may have caused our customers. At The UPS Store the trust of our customers is of utmost importance," The UPS Store president Tim Davis said in a statement. "As soon as we became aware of the potential malware intrusion, we deployed extensive resources to quickly address and eliminate this issue. Our customers can be assured that we have identified and fully contained the incident."

Since the stores are individually franchised they don't share a common computer system. That keep the security breach from spreading and becoming an even bigger problem. Given that the stores are all separate entities also deeps the mystery of just how stores spread over such a wide area were infected in the first place.

In 1907 James Casey founded a company called the American Messenger Company in Seattle, Washington. In 1913 the Seattle-based company merged with a rival service forming the Merchants Parcel and becoming a nation wide company for the first time. They became the United Parcel Service in 1937. Over the next few decades UPS moved their headquarters twice as they grew. The first of those moves was in 1975 when they re-located in Greenwich, Connecticut. In 1988 UPS moved to Atlanta, Georgia where they reside today as a global operation.

Review: Beyond the softness of his fur 2

Beyond the Softness of His Fur 2 is the second installment of Tammy Jo Eckhart's exciting futuristic erotic trilogy. As we read along we get pulled deeper in to the into this future world where dominate/submissive relationships have become an executive perk. As you travel through that world you will experience a wide range of emotions from sympathy for Wynn when he experiences jealousy when he realizes he must now share his Mistress to the fear that Ms Potter feels at the new revelations of how much more complex her life has become in corporate world that she has joined. You might want to keep your box of tissue close at hand when Wynn and Ms Potter must endure the company's “showing & sharing” where morphs interact with other morph and humans in rituals that make Emily first question herself if the benefits of this lifestyle out weigh the things her and Wynn must endure.

Ms Eckhart's book does go much deeper than all of the sexual overtones. For example, even though the setting of the book takes place in the future there are many issues that come up that we deal with in our world today. One such issue is when Emily first finds that the corporation she works for is keeping an eye on parts of her life that she thinks should be left private. It congers up images of the recent issue of businesses wanting their employees to give them access to all of our social networks and the NSA debacle.

Ms Eckhart does a great job of developing characters but letting them continue to grow as story goes on. A great example is one of the main characters Wynn and how he has gone from the timid fox-morph that Emily first met at the institute to the complex role of domestic servant, confidant and sexual playmate that he becoming. A good example of a new character is Emily's new first assistant that not only is willing to submit to Emily's needs but also makes sure that she is prepared for what the day of work has in store.

Given all of the erotic sexual parts of this book it is for mature readers only. Even with a more mature crowd the subject of a dominate/submissive relationship might not be something you like so this would not be for you. If you are comfortable with the subject, curious or it just does not bother you then this book is for you.

The Galaxy Alpha comes equipped with the latest android operating system Kitkat (4.4.4). Some of the other software features of the smartphone are the 2.1-megapixel front-face camera for taking 'selfies' and video chatting, S health software, private mode to help keep your important files safe from anyone that may be looking over your shoulder and Samsung's ultra-power-saving mode that helps you get as much life as possible out of your battery.
