Google's Chrome OS netbook: The good, the bad and its prospects
Google's Chrome OS is off to a rough start and the prototype Cr-48 netbook has been greeted with mixed reviews. But don't write-off Chrome just yet.
Written by John Morris, Contributor on Dec. 14, 2010
Google's Chrome OS is off to rough start. It arrives just as growth of netbooks seems to be cooling off--and just as Android smartphones and tablets are taking off. A former Googler predicted it would be dead within a year. Free software advocate Richard Stallman described Chrome OS as part of plan "to push people into careless computing." And ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley wonders just "who the real Chromebook user is supposed to be?"
To make matters worse, Chrome is running late. When Google announced it a year ago, the company promised the first netbooks would be available in time for the holidays. But building an operating system is no easy task, and with lots of bugs left to stamp out, the first Chrome netbooks from the likes of Acer and Samsung won't appear until mid-2011.
In the meantime Google has released a prototype netbook, the Cr-48, to get Chrome into the hands of application developers and reviewers. It is a move that has worked well with Android. The Nexus One wasn't a commercial success, but it did push handset makers and carriers to launch more powerful smartphones at a faster pace. (With the Nexus S, which is available starting tomorrow, Google is doing it once again.) Chrome is a different beast, though. The browser-based OS is very different from Windows 7 or Mac OS X, and the Cr-48 has raised as many questions as it has answered. (TechCrunch, covering its bases, called it "both insanely awesome and shockingly awful.")
The Cr-48, as nearly every reviewer has noted, looks very similar to the old black MacBooks right down to the chiclet keyboard and the large, button-less ClickPad. But it is really more of a large netbook with a 12-inch display, an Intel Atom single-core processor and, according to published teardowns, a 16GB SanDisk SSD (there's no hard drive). The rubberized black-plastic case is less than an inch thick and the Cr-48 weighs 3.6 pounds--about the size and weight of a typical 12-inch ultraportable.
Since the hardware is just a prototype, the final Chrome netbooks are likely to look different (though the basic specs probably won't change all that much). It's more interesting to read reviewers' impressions of the Chrome OS since it offers a very different user experience. Several themes--both positive and negative--have popped up in reviews:
Quick setup When you first boot the Cr-48, you enter your Google credentials (the netbook snaps a picture for your profile) and you're good to go. All of your bookmarks, extensions and applications (Gmail, Calendar, Docs) are up-to-date and in sync with your PC(s) and other devices. If you've ever used an Android smartphone, you know this is a great feature, especially if you are a heavy user of Google services.
Short boot time The Cr-48 boots in 15 seconds and wakes instantly from standby. That is certainly faster than Windows laptops, but it is about the same as the MacBook Air. Moreover, as Laptopmag.com points out, when you include the time to enter your Google credentials--required at start-up--it really takes more like 25 seconds to get up and running. Still that's a big improvement over my Windows laptop.
Long battery life Google claims the Cr-48 will last for 8 hours and can remain in standby for up to 8 days. It's tough to test this because there's no apparent way to turn off the power settings that automatically dim the display after a few minutes. But most reviewers have found that the Cr-48 seems to last a full day--and perhaps even more with the 3G radio turned off--which sounds great.
Wireless built-in The Cr-48 has both WiFi and a 3G modem for wireless broadband, and it is designed to be always connected. In this sense, it is similar to what Qualcomm, Nokia and others used to call smartbooks (though an Atom-based netbook won't have the same standby time as an ARM-based smartbook or tablet running Android or iOS). Google has cut a deal with Verizon to offer 100MB of 3G data per month for free. The other monthly plans include 1GB for $20, 3GB for $35, and 5GB for $50. You can also purchase an unlimited day-pass for $9.99. Integrated wireless WAN isn't a new feature in laptops, but with deployment of faster 3G and 4G networks and the introduction of wireless broadband in other devices such as e-readers and tablets, more users will want it.
Innovative keyboard The changes that Google has made to the keyboard are controversial--some reviewers like them, others find them self-serving and confusing. Google replaced the Caps Lock with a Search key (which automatically opens a new tab in Chrome), eliminated the Function keys and Windows Command key, and added keys for browser commands such as Forward, Back and Refresh. These changes might take a little getting used to, but on balance they make a lot of sense given how much time we all spend in a browser, and it would be nice to see similar experimentation on Windows PCs and Macs.
The not-so-good:
Nothing but browser The Chrome browser basically is the OS--or at least its interface. This keeps things simple, but it is also very limiting. You can't minimize or re-size Chrome windows because there's no graphical user interface behind it. You can open multiple tabs or multiple browser windows and cycle through them, but that's about it (there are one or two applets such as Google Talk that remain visible on top of open windows). The file system is rudimentary. There is no equivalent to Windows Explorer so you can't view folders (except for the Downloads folder) or copy files from one location to another. Similarly when you insert an SD card or USB drive, you can upload files to an online service but you can't save them to local storage.
Limited settings The System Settings menu has a series of tabs for modifying basic options such as the date and time, language, home page and default search provider. You can also change the look and feel of Chrome by downloading and installing new themes. But Chrome is missing many of the settings you'd find in the Control Panel or other parts of Windows. For example, you can't view basic system specs (processor type or amount of memory), change the power settings or check how much free storage space is remaining.
Few apps The Cr-48 comes with a handful of pre-loaded applications including Get Started, Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, Google Talk and two games. You can install additional apps and extensions from the Chrome Web Store (chrome.google.com/webstore). Some major apps such as Skype and Evernote are not available, but the selection will surely increase over time. Chrome runs only Web apps, meaning that they are really interactive Web sites and not applications that you download and run locally. Some Web apps, including new ones using HTML5, should work offline, but this is still an emerging standard. You can watch videos or play games that use Adobe Flash, but you can't use Netflix's streaming service because Chrome does not have a Microsoft Silverlight extension.
Slow performance Every reviewer has had issues with the performance, even in comparison with smaller netbooks using an Atom processor. Basic services such as Google Talk and Pandora seem to slow down the system. Adobe Flash is one of the big culprits here. The performance on sites such as YouTube and Hulu is sluggish, and in some cases the Flash plug-in fails to work at all. Adobe admits that Flash Player 10.1 support on Chrome notebooks is a "work in progress" and promises that fixing it is a top priority.
The hardware needs work Like most netbooks, the Cr-48 has only a handful of ports including VGA, one USB connector, a headphone jack and an SD card slot. There's no HDMI, no DisplayPort, and no powered USB/eSATA. Apple got beat up for leaving Ethernet off the MacBook Air, so it is only fair to note that Google has done the same with the Cr-48. Driver support is a challenge even for Microsoft (remember the Vista launch?), so it isn't surprising that this is a work in progress on Chrome. Some USB peripherals may work and many others will not. The ClickPad also seems to be crying out for better drivers: several reviewers said it veered back and forth between non-responsive and overly-sensitive. Finally, the keyboard isn't backlit and there is no keyboard light.
Printing is problematic Speaking of drivers, you can't print directly from a Chrome netbook. Instead you use Google Cloud Print service, which is currently in beta, to send the print jobs to a Windows PC connected to a printer. Of course, this implies that you already have a Windows PC and aren't relying on a Chrome netbook as your primary PC. There's another catch: Cloud Print won't work with your Windows PC if it is using the latest version of Chrome 8. Instead you have to install a developer build of Chrome 9, which is less stable than the beta or "stable" versions. (ZDNet's Larry Dignan sorted it all out here.) Despite these hassles, Cloud Print seems to work as advertised and it is a reasonable workaround for those using a Chrome netbook as a companion device.
That's a long list of issues, but I wouldn't write off Chrome just yet. True, the user experience is very different from a typical laptop, and Chrome OS doesn't have many of the features in Windows 7 or Mac OS X. Furthermore tablets will almost certainly continue to grow at the expense of netbooks running all operating systems. But the Chrome netbook is a niche product specifically designed for users who want a device with a keyboard, but are happy to live entirely in the cloud. As carriers launch faster 4G networks and developers release more HTML5 applications, that niche should grow.
One big question mark, though, is the price. If they are priced below their Windows counterparts (Verizon or other carriers might subsidize it, pushing the price down even further), Chrome netbooks could have a fighting chance.

Early 2010, I have contributed to Accessibility Knowledge Series by BarrierBreak Technologies and thought, now I should quote that here and add some more tips.
Much often, we attend meetings and conferences; Today, mostly every speaker uses Power Point Slides to express what they will have to say. Although they speak most of the time, there would be some important content / pictures that convey information more than the talk.
Telescope or hand held magnifiers would be of immense help for people who are partially sighted to get access to these presentations.
Telescopes come in variety of ranges such as 2x, 4x etc. and they can either be hand held or can be mounted into spectacle frame and the distance can be adjusted as needed. These gadgets could also be of help to school going children who have difficulty to see the board.
Secondly, to read business cards and other printed material, portable magnifiers such as Optelec's Portable Magnifiers could be helpful.
Using this, one can adjust size of the font, adjust the contrast as needed such as black on white, white on black, yellow on blue etc. Even one can take the snap of the material and read at a convenient distance.
For a long time, I was looking for a solution that would enable me to read the slides shown by the presenter in any conference or meeting and a very simple technique helped me a lotin the recent past. I took out my hand phone (Nokia E71) and turned ON the camera. Using the zoom option, I was able to read clearly. Another option is to capture the slide and read but for this, in some cases, one need to obtain permission from the presenter.

We leave Interlaken in the morning. First we reach Iseltwald. A traditional small village where the world seems to stand still at the picturesque lake of Brienz. We stroll around and take pictures of the great view and enjoy Switzerland off the beaten path.
Our second stop are the the famous Giessbach waterfalls above the lake of Brienz, where you'll get impressed by the 14 waterfalls. Go for a walk "under the waterfall", visit the "magical place museum" or simply relax at the terrace of the Swiss historic Grand-hotel Giessbach and enjoy the great view over the waterfalls and the turquoise green-blue lake of Brienz.
From the Grandhotel you have the option to ride with Europe's oldest funicular down to the lake from where you'll take a boat to cross the lake to Brienz, where we'll pick you up if you prefer a boat ride instead of the car transfer. Brienz is a charming cute village and invites you to stay.
After lunch, we'll discover the traditional chalet houses, stroll around the wonderful lake promenade and fter all you'll get some typical cow souvenirs from the local wood manufacturer.
In the afternoon, after a short drive, we'll reach Meiringen and the Aare Gorge. This hidden treasures. The Aare Gorge presents you the power of water and nature welcomes you to a different world: this amazing Gorge can be visited by just stepping a few meters into the gorge or hiking 45 minutes through and get out in the next valley. From November – March the Aare Gorge is closed and you'll visit instead the picturesque Lauterbrunnen valley.
Our last stop is the lake of Thoune. At the Neuhaus, harbour of Interlaken. Enjoy the last beautiful view point and relaxing place before returning back to the buzzling tourist town Interlaken.
The tour is guided by your local personal Swiss guide Sibylle or her partner who are happy to include your wishes in the itinerary to create you a custom tailored, unique, unforgettable Swiss experience.
I had an excellent tour with my 3 generation family around Switzerland recently, 27 Nov – 8 Dec 2017. Sibi was very attentive to the needs of my family and she was very passionate towards ensuring the trip is comfortable especially for my parents who have mobility difficulties. She had made the trip extremely fun for the children and they miss her after the trip.
We are specialised in private day tours and tailor-made roundtrips with your personal local multilingual Swiss driver and guide.

New York-to create The shutdown-terrorism Committee Trumpf panel investigation
The house Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Eliot Engel is eyeing the controversial amendments in the Committee.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel plans to the resolution of the panel's terrorism Subcommittee and, instead, create a panel, the focus is prompting the exploration of questions of the President Trump — a parade of criticism from Republicans.
Angel, a New York Democrat who just took over as Chairman, first floated the idea in December, eyeing a discovery to replace sub-Committee, the terrorism panel, which was launched after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. He has since confirmed the plans in an interview with The New Yorker.
TO MAKE THE WHITE HOUSE REBUFFS RUSSIA'S BID INTO QUESTION U.S. OFFICIALS, IN THE MIDST OF THE NEW DC-FIRESTORM
"We just thought, if we do something to be relevant in this time, where the Congress will be again, where there are so many questionable activities of this government vis-à-vis the foreign policy that it made sense, to have this," angel said, "The New Yorker" in a sit-down interview this week.
TRUMP FACES BIPARTISAN CRITICISM OVER THE PRESS-CONFERENCE WITH PUTIN
The house freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N. C., also a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, blasted the proposal.
"The government shut down, our border remains vulnerable, and to negotiate instead, Democrats want to establish, to investigate a other Committee, President Trump," Meadows said in a statement to Fox News on Friday. "We are barely a week to help the Democrats the majority, and we see a worrying, short-sighted focus on the alignment of the President instead of solutions, American families."
He added: "the President keeps his focus on the defeat of ISIS seems to be, while the Democrats their keep focus on the defeat of Donald Trump."
Fellow New York Rep. Lee Zeldin, a Republican who is also a member of the Committee, called the decision "very disappointing."
"The effort by house Democrats to block, resist, blame, and against everything that is not in the best interest of our country," Zeldin said in a statement to Fox News on Friday. "The Congress has important powers of control and you need to considered to be used. Resolution of a Committee focused on the fight against terrorism, nuclear non-proliferation, and the improvement of the trade policy impossible less make sense for me."
He added: "We are one nation, not two Nations, and today's anti-President hate rages dangerously away from what is best for our country."
But the angel said to the broader Committee to deal with terrorism in a different way.
"I have been clear that supervision is a priority of mine, as Chairman, and part of this is the restoration of an Outdoor-surveillance and investigations sub-Committee, which existed for much of the last 20 years. Of course, the Committee is still concerned with the threat of terrorism. In fact, we build the competence of our include sub-committees for the different parts of the world is terrorism, so you are in a better position to fight with this problem, with a regional focus," says angel.
The democratic President, in Congress for nearly three decades, represents areas of the Bronx and Westchester County, said it "was a great noise" from the legislature, the terrorism panel, formally called the terrorism, non-proliferation and trade sub-Committee. Some of these tasks are expected to be distributed to other sub-committees.
Angel pointed to the need for more trump control, for example, in relation to trump summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland last summer.

"It is already many months ago, Helskini, and we still do not know what Putin and Trump talked about," he said, adding that a new panel could also be "the economic interests of the President" and how his financial transactions with certain countries in the Middle East and in Russia to have "is concerned, what he has done in foreign policy."
However, such a panel would not be far from the only looked at the President. Investigations and hearings followed in other Democratic-run house committees.
This Week, House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., known that he was to bear witness to Trump invited former personal attorney Michael Cohen to the public before the Committee next month. Cohen accepted, and said he was looking forward to "the privilege of being granted a platform to give a full and credible account of the events that have happened."
MICHAEL COHEN, TESTIFYING BEFORE THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
A Federal judge last month sentenced Cohen sentenced to three years in prison, after a dramatic hearing, Cohen said, he felt it was his duty to conceal, Trump's "dirty deeds." In August, Cohen to break campaign-Finance laws, pleaded guilty to helping orchestrate payments to silence former Playboy model Karen McDougal and adult-film star Stormy Daniels, who claimed they had sexual encounters with trump while he was married.
Meanwhile, The House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., in addition, the President is considering, according to the panel, formerly Devin Nunes, R-Calif, led by Rep.., allegations of Russian interference in the election of 2016, as well as the law enforcement authorities and the intelligence services-handling probed.

At Sport + Spirit Wellness Retreat, our 3-hour Vision Board Workshop will help you live into your greatest potential and create the life you want now!
NOTE: This is a 3-hour workshop and will only be offered on Sunday, September 15, 9am - 12noon (Session 4 & 5 - Breakout Activities - see Wellness Retreat Schedule).
The number one reason women don't manifest what they want in this life is because they don't take the time to align with a clear vision.
A professional facilitator supports the transition back to everyday life with a take away that visually represents key learnings from your personal experience at camp, something that will remind you of the woman you want to be, and how to keep moving forward – It's called a Vision Board or Intention Board!
Christy Deere guides you on a journey toward a deeper understanding of your personal vision, exploring together: the key areas of life (family, friends, romance, career, health, wealth); the power of a positive mindset; clarity and alignment with what the heart truly desires; and creating a focus that will inspire change.
During this fun and interactive 3-hour workshop you will create a personalized poster board that will become a visual guide of our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. Take time to focus your Attention on Your Intention! Through short guided reflections, small group conversations, group coaching, play and creativity, you will walk away with a collage of images that inspire your future. This is your opportunity to stay connected with what matters most when you return home from the retreat.
See first hand how the Law of Attraction unfolds in your life – What you believe you receive!
Your current thoughts are creating your future life. Take the time to get clear.
Christy Deere has a passion for helping individuals realize their full potential, and develop the skills that make them more effective in their professional and personal lives. Inspired by human behaviour and interpersonal dynamics, she is committed to helping people develop more effective relationships, be more productive members of their team or community, and build the soft skills that will make them great leaders.
Christy started Leap 2 Learn in 2001 when she saw an opportunity to support leadership teams with custom designed learning and development programs. Her programs invite people to get up out of their chairs, engage with each other in a unique and meaningful way, and ultimately 'learn by doing'.
Her style of facilitation utilizes several unique methodologies to negotiate complex group dynamics resulting in more productive and meaningful conversations; skillful navigation of conflict; greater cohesion and alignment; stronger relationships with self and others; and improved performance. Christy is a certified Integral Facilitator®, a certified Lego® Serious Play® Facilitator and utilizes The Art of Hosting approach, to address the issues that matter most.
Although working with organizations is her primary work, Christy lends her dynamic skills to her community in South Georgian Bay. Creating programs that support women who have survived abuse, teaching a variety of workshops that inspire personal growth, and to remain active in the outdoor adventure world where she first got her start, she spends her springs training staff at camps and resorts across Canada, in risk management and safe operating techniques of high ropes courses and ziplines.
Leap and the path will appear!

Providing the questions for all of life's answers.
Public Philosophy
Three of the AAP talks I went to were about taking philosophy beyond the ivory tower.
Edward Spence described his project to engage the public in philosophy through theatre. His central theme was that to impact on the broader culture, philosophy must "engage the sentiments". There are many ways one might go about this, but his own approach is to incorporate philosophical elements into a wider cultural-entertainment experience, philosophy as a "night out", a performance in a restaurant while the audience wines and dines. This might be followed by a brief lecture from a philosopher who draws out the themes of the performance, and then invites public discussion. Apparently the project has proved reasonably popular, though one might entertain doubts about the depth of the philosophizing therein. Still, a worthwhile first step, perhaps, and it would be good to see more efforts to broaden public participation in philosophy. There are always worries about the tradeoffs and compromises inherent in popularization. I'm not sure what can be done about that.
Suzanne Uniacke tackled the question, 'What Can Philosophy Say About Public Policy?', suggesting that there were tensions between the two projects. In particular, public policy is constrained by such contingencies as popular beliefs (no matter how misguided), and is directed towards a specific audience. These features may clash with the impartiality and intellectual independence characteristic of philosophy. Philosophers might need to hide their true reasons for backing a policy if those would not be considered "socially acceptable". To some extent this is the old problem of pragmatic compromise that any radical faces: to make piecemeal progress they must endorse rather less than they would ideally prefer. But Uniacke seemed to think there was something especially problematic about this in relation to one's role as a philosopher.
Other interesting issues arose concerning just how philosophers should influence public policy. Theory may be indirectly influential through its effect on the public intellectual climate. (Cf. "think tanks".) But Uniacke focussed on the more direct policy input you might get, say, from a philosopher on a committee. Questions then arise about their competence and authority: should they restrict their input to the philosophical dimensions of policy? (Is there any clear-cut distinction here anyway? Just what sort of expertise does a philosopher bring to the policy-making table, if any?) Apparently Sydney Hook has proposed four facets to the philosopher's contribution:
1) A well-researched knowledge of facts
2) Methodological sophistication (disambiguate, clarify distinctions, etc.)
3) Philosophical sophistication (e.g. appropriate employment of the fact/value distinction.)
4) Critical distance or "disengagement" (to avoid bias).
This may lead to a picture of the "philosopher as technician", perhaps enabling a deliberative environment rather than offering substantive contributions themselves (as one might expect from the alternative picture of the "philosopher as expert"). Should there be a place for substantive philosophical advocacy of public policy positions?
Turning to the question of authority, Uniacke helpfully distinguished two forms of the distinction between "authoritative vs. advisory" contributions. In the first case, we might ask whether the philosopher's opinion should be treated as decisive on an issue (cf. a doctor's medical testimony). Presumably the answer to this is "no", since philosophers usually cannot even agree amongst themselves what the most reasonable position is. A second question is whether the philosopher's reasoning can be made transparent or accessible to the layperson, so that the latter may make their own reasonable assessment of the given advice, rather than taking the philosopher's verdicts as if from a "black box" which demands sheer faith (to whatever, perhaps limited, extent one is inclined to take its contributions into account at all).
Now, it seems that public policy must be grounded in publically accessible reasons, suggesting that the philosopher's role must also be advisory in this second sense. Again we face the difficult compromise between depth of rigour and broad accessibility. Given the complexity of the literature about killing and letting die, for instance, is there any hope for an informed public policy on end-of-life issues? Can philosophers always (or even often) make contributions to public debate that are both worthwhile and comprehensible? (Though as one person responded, it would be still worse to abandon this role to non-philosophers!)
There are also worries about courts (etc.) misapplying philosophical arguments. Apparently such distortion regularly arises through over-simplification, over-generalization, selective use, conflation or confusion, etc. Is this inevitable? (Is expert reasoning just too complex?) Or can something be done about it?
Many of these issues also arose in Steve Curry's talk on 'Philosophy as Research Methodology', which touched on interdisciplinary social-scientific work that he has contributed to as a philosopher. Again, the general intellectual skills of methodological critique and disambiguation, etc., were part of his contribution. But he also suggested that the philosopher's familiarity with the practice of reason-giving or justification can give us distinctive insights.
Curry described his involvement in gathering qualitative data (e.g. about whether various artistic or cultural programs have been successful in creating valuable experiences for people), which is often dismissed as "mere anecdote". They typically utilized a "Most Significant Change" (MSC) methodology, which elicits people's stories, which the group then discuss and eventually pick one to get passed back as the data from their group. However, drawing on his experience with modern Socratic Dialogue methods used by some teaching philosophers, Curry proposed that group participants immediately choose their favourite story, prior to discussion, and then have participants discuss the reasons for their choice. These are often initially hidden, so the discussion brings out much "deeper" information than is otherwise available, including implicit assumptions about value, etc. The group's considered judgments then go beyond "mere anecdote", and contribute valuable information that was previously inaccessible. You don't just get the anecdote; it is accompanied by the reasons explaining exactly why participants considered it significant.
So that was interesting. (Though Curry noted that such data should be "triangulated" with other, more traditional, research methods, and may not be worth much by itself.)
In sum, these talks seemed to be suggesting a somewhat deflationary picture of the philosophical enterprise. Rather than seeing reason as a reliable route to truth, most expertly navigated by professional philosophers themselves, I got the impression that these speakers would see philosophy's public role as more humble in nature -- perhaps as providing a method for clarifying and bringing structure to people's own views about the world. I would hope for more than that, though, I think. Philosophy may subvert widespread prejudices, question otherwise unquestioned assumptions, and thereby lead to a more radical rethinking of our ideas. At least, that's the ideal. The challenge, as ever, is how to implement it?
[I suspect that introducing philosophy at school would be a crucial step. Any other ideas?]

Apparently the project has proved reasonably popular, though one might entertain doubts about the depth of the philosophizing therein. Still, a worthwhile first step, perhaps, and it would be good to see more efforts to broaden public participation in philosophy. There are always worries about the tradeoffs and compromises inherent in popularization. I'm not sure what can be done about that.
I think part of the remedy for this is to realize that there doesn't need to be much done about it, because popularization of philosophy isn't quite like popularization in other fields. As Aristotle noted long ago, people can't not philosophize -- it's the pre-eminent activity of the human person. The question is never, "How do we get people to philosophize?" but "How do we get people to philosophize better than they do in their current desultory, careless, sloppy philosophizing?" And to that extent anything that increases the reflectiveness, care, etc. with which people do it is an improvement.
Looking at it this way also puts the emphasis in a place that makes it progressive rather than patronizing; a philosopher has to recognize that the problem is not that the masses are philosophically flawed. Instead, the problem is that everyone has some degree of philosopical flaw, and some people are not doing all they could to deal with those flaws. So we're all really in the same boat, and the only question is, how can those of us with some practice handling our own philosophical flaws help those who don't have any practice handling theirs. (In this sense philosophy is exactly what Socrates saw it was: it's not that we're the wise and the rest are the ignorant, like the sophists thought, even on purely philosophical matters; it's that we recognize our own ignorance and limits even in philosophical matters and so have thereby started doing something about it.)

Solution : The removal of every hint of democracy, increase concentration of power and reduce public discussion of policy - so that governance can be more pure.
The basic argument for democracy (for a governing power) is that you don't trust yourself. That you have sufficiently reduced your power to be unable to cause large scale change is a predictable result of that strategy.
Even introducing philosophy at school implies a certain level of political power for like minds for it to be set up.
Anonymous 10:36 pm, July 09, 2006
Brandon, that is a nice way to put it. Though certain branches of, say, analytic metaphysics may have little bearing on most people's concerns, I guess that isn't the sort of philosophy we'd be hoping to engage them in anyway. Rather it is, as you say, the sort of stuff they might already be doing without realising it (or without realising how they might do it better).
Genius - I think your "solution" would likely do far more harm than good. (Politicians just ain't that trustworthy.) In any case, you can still achieve "large scale change" without dictatorial powers. It's just a bit more work, since you need to convince others to your point of view rather than merely imposing it on them. I think this safeguard is well worth it.
I also think the safe guard is worth it because most politicians are not that trustworthy even as a whole. And since we are really talking about philosophers here we must also say most philosophers are not that trustworthy even as a whole. But we also must realize that any safeguard that is designed to reduce your power cripples your ability to exert power (depending on how strictly you adhere to it). And that system is a pretty blunt way to restrict your power restricting both good and bad action.
The way around that is to build up your ability to convince people by co-opting the media and the talking points via think tanks and developing strategies like political parties would - selecting candidates and so forth. But the further you go along that track the more you undermine the protections against yourself you chose to set up in the first instance at the extreme they disappear entirely and so you have just found a hard way to do the same thing.
The problem then becomes should we indeed consider their judgment better than that of the people or the people better than them. And as long as you give the people the last word you imply that their judgment is considered better (in as far as better also encompasses "safer"). The question then becomes why you would want your opinion as a philosopher to carry any more weight than 1 vote in 4 million and if it only carries that weight then you can almost certainly say you should not get your way…
I know you can convince others but basically everyone tries to do that already so it should be already factored into the system.

Heh, sounds like an amusing and age old debate: What is philosophy? I recall that one of the presocratics popularized philosophy by making a killing in some investment, and people assumed that it was his deep wisdom that must have helped.
My personal opinion is that we philosophers flatter ourselves hugely about our rationality. The very question of 'what is the right way to think?' is constantly being solved by everyone all the time. In our areas of speciality most people acheive some level of proficiency. In areas that we have no interest we typically have a very poor ability.
I have never really found philosophical thinking especially useful outside of philosophizing. It provides no mechanisms for some of the most crucial aspects - how to remember all the detail, and how to have the flashes of insight on what the most fruitful line of reasoning will be. And I suspect the reason no mechanisms are provided is because they are simply not available. Mastering an area of expertise involves learning all the strategies that work well in that domain, and may not translate at all into any other domains. If they do translate, then we will have few problems learning that new domain.
That is why the best philosophers in any domain are not 'general philosophers' but the specialist practitioners. Anyone else is an ignorant amateur wasting time asking a lot of silly questions. So scientists are the best philosophers of science, and lawyers the best philosophers of law, and rugby coaches the best philosophers of rugby. Politicians are thus often the most profound actual political philosophers.
General philosophers are not useless, though. Philosophy itself is naturally an area of speciality and they reign supreme there. There are tons of problems that are the traditional domain of philosophers.

Now, it seems that public policy must be grounded in publically accessible reasons, suggesting that the philosopher's role must also be advisory in this second sense. Again we face the difficult compromise between depth of rigour and broad accessibility.
The first sentence here sounds like it's operating from a deliberative view of democracy, and generally speaking I support that. And the second sentence does a nice job of framing an immediate problem that comes to mind, given that view of democracy.
Using the comparison to medical doctors that you bring up in your post, I'm trying to think about how the knowledge of experts gets distributed to the public in that field. Medical and scientific controversies figure into lawmaking debates pretty frequently. Sometimes the issue is a disagreement among the experts, in which case the various sides within the public just have to find the expert(s) that agree with them. Sometimes there's more of a consensus within the experts, but the public has to decide how much authority to invest in the experts as opposed to other opinion leaders - I'd argue that this is what happens a lot with global warming.
On one hand I think what Brandon points out is a very essential piece of the puzzle - philosophers can help give citizens the skills to think things through more clearly, to take in the advice of various experts (even in simplified form) and apply it. But there's also the task of getting people to want to think more clearly, to want to deliberate with others, to want to evaluate the work of experts. And here I don't think a philosopher can just present a rational argument and expect everyone to fall in line. So this might lead to the issues you hint at, about philosophers making compromises or engaging in emotional appeals or other forms of activism in order to create a climate in which, going forward, the general public can behave more philosophically.

So I decided I wanted to change my signal bulbs to LEDs and didn't want to have the fast-flash or add a load resistor. I read on some comments around here about the TapTurn flasher unit which is a direct plug-and-play replacement to our factory flasher. I ended up purchasing it from the TapTurn web-site (TapTurn - home) and figured I'd add some feedback & photos.
The unit came with very clear instructions. The factory flasher is located under the steering wheel column behind the little card/coin pocket (note, I drive a right hand drive). This pulls directly off and the flasher is visible. I was able to reach from behind and disconnect/remove it fairly easy.
The part fits perfectly. It is the exact same dimension and the plug clicks in nicely.
The flash speed is the same as OEM and can be used with both LED and Halogen bulbs. I currently have Phillips Ultinon LED's in the rear and the stock bulbs in the front. The TapTurn flasher module also adds the function of 3-flashes in one direction when the stalk is gently tapped (like euro cars) and then auto shuts off.
Some other functions include a Slow Motion flash for emergency lights and a "Wig-Wag" function that alternates between the left and right sides. These are activated by having the signal stalk clicked in either the left or right while the car is running and the emergency lights are on.
The part cost me $59 USD with shipping. I should note there are versions with some more functions such as strobe signals, additional hazard patterns and arrival/departure lights but I decided I didn't need those.
Used one before, but currently in my garage because I find the 3-flash to be triggered a lot more easily than I'd like at times, and while you can cancel it by tapping again, it just feels kinda annoying I had to do that.
I have changed the remaining signal bulbs in the headlights and the side markers to LEDs. The TapTurn module still works as advertised and there is no fast-flash.
Yep, can confirm that in a completely dark garage the halogens appear a little bit brighter compared to the Zevo. From a distance however, I personally found that they grab your attention all the same (especially due to the instant turn on on the LED compared to the small fade-in and fade-out of the halogen). Note that I've only taken the car out in the night so I'm yet to look at it during the day.
This post was more to show that the TapTurn module works with different bulbs/brands and combinations of LED/Halogen set ups. If I had to be OCD about it, I'd recommend the X-treme Ultinon all around - but they are crazy expensive where I am... About 60 USD per pair. I ended up getting all 6 bulbs above for about 50 USD together so I'm happy. Either way, my main goals were to remove any visible "orange" from all lights, have LEDs that face the reflector so they are not seen from the outside, and mainly... to satisfy more boredom.
When fitting LED turn signals if you change the capacitor on the OEM flasher to a value of 10uf it will stop the hyperflash and costs less than 15p (25 cents).
"Electronic flasher" for LED turn signals?

Описание: The recent rediscovery in Spain of Pieter Bruegel the ElderGCOs lost painting, The Wine of Saint MartinGCOs Day, has created even more interest in this much-loved artist, who was one of the NetherlandsGCO two great masters of satire and fantasy, along with Hieronymus Bosch. Although these two artists never met each otherGCoBruegel was born around 1525, a decade after BoschGCOs deathGConumerous features link them; indeed, Bruegel painted several demon-infested hellscapes directly inspired by the older master, and he was known in Antwerp as a GCGBPsecond Bosch.GC[yen] But Bruegel is most famous for his peasant scenes, often humorous and packed with anecdote, and for his landscapes, which poignantly evoke NatureGCOs changing seasons. His legacy to Netherlandish art was the enduring popularity of both these genres, as well as the artistic dynasty he founded, beginning with his painter sons Pieter the Younger and Jan Brueghel.Critics have often remarked how BruegelGCOs art, so keenly observed and richly detailed, seems to preserve a world in miniature. In this new monograph, Larry Silver, an eminent historian of Northern Renaissance art, serves as our guide to that world. He leads us expertly through BruegelGCOs complex and fascinating iconography, allowing us to see his paintings and drawings from the same perspective as his sixteenth-century countrymen. Silver situates Bruegel within the visual culture of his timeGCoexploring, for example, his relationship with the print publisher Hieronymus CockGCoand within the broader context of Netherlandish history. All of BruegelGCOs surviving paintings are reproduced here, with many full-page details, as well as all of his prints and representative works by his contemporaries and followers.This volume on Bruegel complements SilverGCOs widely praised monograph on Hieronymus Bosch, which was published by Abbeville Press in 2006. These two books are the most authoritative and best-illustrated studies of their respective subjects, and together they present us with a panorama of Netherlandish artGCOs emergence into the distinctive form of the Northern Renaissance.

Название: Grand Design: Pieter Coecke Van Aelst and Renaissance Tapestry
Издательство: Yale University Press
Описание: Renowned throughout Renaissance Europe, Pieter Coecke van Aelst (1502–1550) produced works for the wealthiest and most important patrons of the time, including Emperor Charles V, Francis I of France, Henry VIII of England, the Habsburgs, and Cosimo de Medici. While he is best known for his magnificent tapestries, he was also a consummate artist in other media, and the output from his workshop included painted altarpieces, as well as designs and cartoons for stained glass. This lavish publication, the first comprehensive volume devoted to this Renaissance master since 1966, introduces Pieter Coecke van Aelst to a contemporary audience and places him among the great artists of the 16th century. New photographs, including fine details, reunite twenty of the splendid Renaissance tapestries made to his designs with some of his finest surviving drawings and panel paintings, while texts by thirteen prominent scholars explore Coecke's art and world. Both a feast for the eyes and an important reappraisal of a great Renaissance master, this important study will stand as the comprehensive volume on a major artist of the Northern Renaissance

Описание: During the 19th century, a vogue for jewellery in the forms of animals, made of enamel and precious metals and stones, swept Europe. Leading houses such as Fouquet, Fontenay, Falize, Faberge and Tiffany & Co all created an array of animal jewellery. The design developments of the 20th century - art nouveau, art deco, and those that followed - all contributed animal jewellery, from Lalique's intricate insects to Cartier's panthers, from Boucheron to the sophisticated imagery of Verdura. This book shows the imagination and technical skill of the creators of this jewellery.

My goodness, that connection completely melts me.
So last week I returned from visiting family and friends in IL and MI. My cousin recently had twins and with a three-year-old already at home, my presence was more than welcome. When I saw this happen, I nearly died from the sweetness. Little Malcolm loves his patient and oh-so-tender mama, and as I snapped away, my cousin said, "You know, I really wanted some breastfeeding photos." So there ya go. I'm in love with it!

public static Finder<Long, DokumenKeluarFileModel> find = new finder(Long.class, DokumenKeluarFileModel.class);

 public static String save(DokumenKeluarFileModel dok){
    try {
        dok.save();
        return "Success";
    }catch (Exception e){
        return "Failed to save data, error message : "+e.getMessage();
    }
  }
}

this is my controller
public static String saveDoc(Form<DokumenKeluarModel> formKel){

    String status = "";

        for(DokumenMasukModel doc: candidateUnique){
            DokumenKeluarFileModel kelFile = new DokumenKeluarFileModel();

            kelFile.keluar.id = formKel.get().id;
            kelFile.masuk.id = doc.id;
            kelFile.tanggal = formKel.get().tanggal;
            status = DokumenKeluarFileModel.save(kelFile);
            if(!status.equals("Success")){
                flash("ermsg",status);
                break;
            }
        }

    return status;
}

I got error java.lang.NullPointerException: null and in debugger i found this
kelFile.masuk.id = java.lang.NullPointerException
kelFile.keluar.id = java.lang.NullPointerException
i think this error relate to my problem.
Did i wrong when declare my model?

When your favorite band reunites after an extended break, there's always a moment of trepidation. Will they be able to live up to perhaps unrealistic expectations? Or will the reunion turn out to have been done for the sole purpose of coasting on previous laurels?
Fans of Sleater-Kinney can breathe a sigh of relief. The acclaimed Portland-based alternative-rock band released its last album ("The Woods") a decade ago, then went on a self-described "hiatus" in 2006. But the invigorating blast of the new album makes it seem like no time has passed at all.
That's apparent from the very first track, "Price Tag," an attack on consumerism, with the kind of full-throated roars from singer/guitarist Corin Tucker in the chorus that send a tingle up the spine.
Sleater-Kinney was always a power trio in the best sense of the word, and its strength is undiminished: the taut, weaving guitar lines of Tucker and fellow guitarist/singer Carrie Brownstein; Brownstein's own fierce, staccato vocals; and the relentless drumming prowess of Janet Weiss make them a force to be reckoned with.
The only disappointment for some will be the album's brevity (it clocks in at a concise 33 minutes). With any luck, there will be more.


After reading the book you want to review, make a few notes. Get into the mindset of the reader of your book review, and attempt to answer their questions. These questions tend to be related to what the story is about and what makes it so important. You can also make a few notes about your overall opinion, and why you think this way.
Begin by introducing the title and author of the book at the very beginning, as well as the genre it is (adventure, romance, comedy, etc) and the moral. in every subsequent paragraph, make a valid point and use evidence from the book to support it.
The parts of the book you enjoyed and did not.
Why you thought this, with page numbers or quotes taken.
The ending of your book review should sum up your key points and prove to the reader of your review that this book should or should not be read.
