i wonder what their new technologies are. they said they would never address https, and a lot of google's stuff is going that way. No big deal, but it makes the value of AM a little less. What could they improve to make up for something like that? curious...HALF-PRICE AD MUNCHER LICENSES!
To help 2012 go out with a bang, we're offering 50% off all
licenses until the end of the year!
...
BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING...
We've spent years working on new technologies for Ad
Muncher, and are extremely excited that these will soon
be seeing the light of day.
Your support is critical, now more than ever, and will help
us to finally realize our vision for what Ad Muncher can be.
Thank you for making this possible, and best wishes for
Christmas and the new year from the Ad Muncher team!

This should work for renewals as well as new licenses.-mwb1100 (December 21, 2012, 01:58 PM)
Man, I hate hearing things like this. It's such a huge issue.I'm not discounting the project...-Paul Keith (December 20, 2012, 11:10 AM)
@pk: of course you are... ;-)
the creators of pi took strong steps to keeping their device from being another olpc-like thing to either be ignored or hijacked by big businesses like olpc was. in my daughter's school the administration openly admitted they worried about things like the raspberry. because from what they heard about it, the self-taught kids were more knowledgeable about them than most teachers were. so where would their math and science teachers fit in with something like that? that is a question which begs a even bigger question. ;-))
and don't even get me started on what their attitude towards the Khan Academy is.-Gwen7 (December 20, 2012, 12:30 PM)
Now there's an OS update out, at least on AT&T. Highlights include: from Nokia improved battery metering, sharper photos; from Microsoft the option to have WiFi always on and SMS drafts. The auto brightness setting seems to be a bit more dynamic too.just got it, thanks. i'll be picking up my charging pad tomorrow as well.-allen (December 20, 2012, 02:11 PM)
Two hours into my first day of work as a Wal-Mart greeter, an ugly woman came in with her two kids. Hearing her swear at them, I said, 'Good morning, welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice kids, are they twins?' The mom answered, 'Hell no, they ain't twins. The oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7. Why would you think they're twins? Are you blind or stupid?' I replied, 'I'm not blind or stupid. I just couldn't believe someone slept with you twice. Have a good day, and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.' My supervisor said I probably wasn't cut out for this line of work!-Renegade (December 19, 2012, 07:19 AM)

Last night I watched this documentary, Reel Injun about the way Native Americans were portrayed in films and on TV. One of the clips they showed was the Injun Joe cartoon character. But the worst Warner Bros. cartoon clip was Bugs Bunny picking off Indians with a rifle as they attacked a fort. Each time he shot one he drew a line to keep count. Then he shoots one and only draws half a line(I forget if the chalk broke or whatever) and he recovers his cool by saying "that one was only a half breed!"Oh man!! Yeah, it's wild seeing the blatant racism in those cartoons. Unfortunately, one of my favorite minor characters is in that Injun Joe cartoon, the name is "Wagon Heels"...his name is Sloppy Moe, a little whacky blue guy.-MilesAhead (December 17, 2012, 11:13 PM)

I'm not sure I'm following, but is it the case that they are causing you to look through options you'd otherwise not see?I'm saying for the longest time, the bar was like "Web, news, images, videos, etc." with the common things there. This is without being logged in.
If so, then may be that's the point...-ewemoa (December 16, 2012, 10:33 PM)
"Why does keep changing the bar menu order/visibility??" <--- I think you forgot a word?Sorry, yea..why does GOOGLE keep chaging it...-Stephen66515 (December 16, 2012, 08:09 PM)
^Doesn't surprise me too much. My GF was a devote paper advocate until she bought a Nook more for the web browser than anything else.Did she get the epaper one? interesting...i talked my mom out of a nook recently because I didn't think the web browsing would be enjoyable for her on epaper. But if it is, then I'm going to re-recommend it.
I think she's since bought and read more books in the last six months than she has in the last two years. She loves the thing.
Our pile of old magazines and newspapers has also diminished drastically since she now gets most periodicals she regularly reads through it as well.
