I had to file a DCMA notice for a Bulldozer clone on the Play store a couple of weeks ago. Wasn't hard to do, and they took it down the next day. The game wasn't called "Bulldozer", but it clearly copied all my bitmaps. Took me about ten minutes to do.

 ( warrenhyde[@]mac[.com] ) does some specialty work with the lenticular technology (often used on cups and posters), after a bit of pestering from me he’s shared some of the background process he’s gone through to create the artwork. The lenticular effect works by splitting several images into thin slices that are then viewed by the human eye from slightly different angles through a special lens plastic, which can create a 3D illusion, the impression of movement, or even both.

Summary: A U.S. Senate committee could start an antitrust investigation against Microsoft, after the Redmond software giant said Internet Explorer 10 would be the only desktop browser in its upcoming tablet operating system.

Microsoft’s move to prevent major browsers from reaching the Windows RT desktop has resulted in a fierce war of words from its browser rivals, including Mozilla and Google.

In what will likely come as a further headache for Microsoft, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee plans to look at the allegations that Microsoft’s decision may once again lead it down the antitrust path.

 

Giambologna. Rape of the Sabine Women. 1581-83.

‘Rape’ meaning ‘abduction’ in the context of Giambologna’s sculpture: according to Livy in The History of Rome, the Roman state  is powerful but vulnerable because of a ‘paucity of women’, and Romulus’ solicitations for intermarriage for his men among his neighbours, the Sabines, have been rejected.  He plans and stages a deception: at festival games to honour Neptunus Equistris, to which the Sabines are invited, the Romans carry off the women at his signal.  He promises the indignant Sabine women lawful wedlock, possessions and civil privileges, and children:

He begged them only to assuage the fierceness of their anger, and cheerfully surrender their affections to those to whom fortune had consigned their persons.”  [He added,] “That from injuries love and friendship often arise; and that they should find [the Romans] kinder husbands on this account, because each of them, besides the performance of his conjugal duty, would endeavour to the utmost of his power to make up for the want of their parents and native country.”  To this the caresses of the husbands were added, excusing what they had done on the plea of passion and love, arguments that work most successfully on women’s hearts.

The minds of the ravished virgins were soon much soothed…

 Not so their families, and war broke out and ended only when the Sabine women, ‘hair dishevelled and garments rent’ (of course) threw themselves into the middle of the battlefield and talked some much needed sense into their husbands and fathers.

 

Finished up with her stay in Japan, a Chanel Paris clad Lady Gaga was spotted readying for a departing flight out of Tokyo on Wednesday (May 16).

European authorities who earlier cracked down on Microsoft's browser behavior are now are keeping an eye on its upcoming Windows RT operating system -- but they aren't saying yet whether they have any objections.

Mozilla last week criticized Microsoft's choice to deny browsers other than Internet Explorer privileges necessary to make what it sees as a competitive browser on Windows RT, the new version of the operating system for ARM processors. Specifically, IE gets access to deeper Win32 interfaces, but Firefox, other browsers, and any other third-party software only get access to the new and more limited WinRT interface. Google shares Mozilla's concerns about browser limits on Windows RT.

In a statement, Antoine Colombani, the spokesman for European Commission's competition work, had this to say:

The commission is aware of these allegations and will remain vigilant that Microsoft fully complies with its commitments under the commission's 2009 decision on browsers. This decision applies to Microsoft's Windows operating system for PCs.

The 2009 decision refers to a settlement between the EC and Microsoft about its Windows monopoly that required Microsoft to present a choice of browsers besides Internet Explorer.

Check it if he put her in the deepest
Rooted out his heart to confess
Join us if he had to die if you
would be denied. . write I must write

 Check to see if it in the deepest part of your
Heart stretches out its roots, to confess
Join us if you had to die if you
would be denied. . write I have to write?

 I'm obviously having a rough time tweeting today. Why is that babe? Is it something you ate? You lost your cell phone again? Nope. I'm txtn aint I? I'm txtn you aint I he said back? Sorry to disappoint you baby, he said.

The reason I got you to betray me for 30 pieces of silver may not have been for reasons of passion, he said. Why is that I asked him? I'm not even certain I remembered you as Sabine, when I was Christ. My previous relationship before then may have even been with Peter? Peter, who  is that? Later he said, I had a daughter in Japan, and we genuinely loved each other.

it turns out he/she was General of the Armies Horemheb who was responsible for attempting to kill me when I was King Tutankhamun. It was Ay, the Chief Priests idea, because he was a polytheist who profited greatly from selling objects of worship, and hated Tutankhamun's father's monotheism. He finished me off when Horemhab was away in Asia, but later regreted his part in the plot and organised a decent burial. Ay was present when I was Jesus, as was, as he was then, Peter, and Ay became Freddy Mercury. 

Where is he now, do you have any idea? Peter? Pretty much, he said. I think possibly Elvis Presly, and now Bill Clinton, but he is possible several other places as well. My neighbour was Peter Scott, and my neighbour has a daughter who is very alike my Japanese wife that time, and I am also her brother, I think her name may be Aerin? Also Ay was a very evil man who made me suffer greatly as he killed me, but my heart had to be as light as a feather, as Pharoh, to get to this life. He was a slave in the temple in Jerusalem, and now I think he is my cousin Margaret's eldest som Mark, and also a pimp who ran brothels in Rotorua, a Jehova's Witness called Tom Walters, and a radio personality called... can't think of his name, but I'll remember. Pat Brittenden. How can one person be all these people I asked him? I have no idea, he said, especiall since they won't talk. How can one God be many Gods? Other people must cover for these people, I  don't know if they swap identities, or what they do. Maybe sometimes, I, Jesus comes in and plays a scene for them. it is God's play and I'd like to know the truth. I'll find out when I die, no doubt. But you'll be dead. I don't die, he said. I'm always alive in another place. I'll tell you honestly, and you must believe me, I have lived the next 3,000 years of this life, not always as my mother's son, and I don't know if I will be born again before the year 5,000. A mystery, I said. I'm not sure you understand, he said. I'll make sure to clarify later. 5,000 will be 25,000 years since the great pyramid was built. These people are not with us all the time, just 4,000 of the last 23,000 years. The world is better off without them. Which ones? The ones that change. The male homosexuals who have no morals. The ones who hate women, and kill and rape. Not all the names I mentioned. The bible says 100,000.

No, I'm thinking it was a straight transaction. On one hand I was trapped, or Jesus was trapped, if you prefer, and there were 30 lives against one. It made a lot more sense to sacrifice my own life to save 30, than to see even one person who I love passionately die for no reason, even if Judas did hang himself in the end.

 The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that, oh no
It's not the things you do, that tease and hurt me bad
But it's the way you do the things, you do to me
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that, oh no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one

Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that, oh no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one
Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that, oh no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm gonna be your number one, your, number one

 

Why did you send me a picture of cornfields, I txt him? Mitsubishi Bank paid a world record price for a Van Gogh, he said. A copy of "The scream" just sold for over 105 million, so it must be worth a bit more by now.

 

 Ay's reign was preceded by that of King Tutankhamun, who ascended to the throne at the age of eight or nine, at a time of great tension between the new monotheism and the old polytheism. He was assisted in his kingly duties by his predecessor's two closest advisors: Grand Vizier Ay and General of the Armies Horemheb. Tutankhamun's nine-year reign, largely under Ay's direction, saw the gradual return of the old gods – and, with that, the restoration of the power of the Amun priesthood, who had lost their influence over Egypt under Akhenaten.

Horemheb (sometimes spelled Horemhab or Haremhab and meaning Horus is in Jubilation) was the last Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty from either 1319 BC to late 1292 BC,[1] or 1306 to late 1292 BC (if he ruled for 14 years) although he was not related to the preceding royal family and is believed to have been of common birth.

Before he became pharaoh, Horemheb was the commander in chief of the army under the reigns of Tutankamun and Ay. After his accession to the throne, he reformed the state and it was under his reign that official action against the preceding Amarna rulers began.

Horemheb demolished monuments of Akhenaten, reusing their remains in his own building projects, and usurped monuments of Tutankhamun and Ay. Horemheb presumably remained childless since he appointed his vizier Paramesse as his successor, who would assume the throne as Ramesses I.
