Lightning strikes London's Shard skyscraper

9 May 22, 2014

Ash Patel was watching London's vicious storm on Thursday when he was treated to a spectacular — if frightening — weather phenomenon: several lightning strikes to the tallest building in the European Union. Patel told Yahoo News that he saw lightning strike the 1,000-foot-tall Shard building twice in less than a minute. After the first hit, Patel thought it wise to start recording.

This is the one USB stick every iPhone fan will want to own

20 May 22, 2014

Do you want a quick way to zip files from your iPhone or iPad to your PC that doesn’t involve carrying a Lightning cable around with you everywhere? Then you might want to check out the iStick, a new USB flash storage drive that has both a standard USB connector and an approved Apple Lightning connector as well. The iStick, which is being developed by the Sanho Corporation, has launched a Kickstarter page where so far it’s raised close to $600,000, more than 6 times the $100,000 it had set out to raise and it still has 26 days to go.

Apple’s iMessage problem is worse than we thought

Comment May 22, 2014

Caption: Apple’s iMessage problem is worse than we thought

By Brad Reed, BGR, May 22, 2013

Apple has a lot of very unhappy former iPhone users on its hands and it doesn’t look like the problem is getting fixed anytime soon. For those of you who haven’t heard, there’s a major bug in Apple’s iMessage software
that will prevent you from receiving text messages from other iPhone
users if you’ve switched to a phone that runs on a rival operating
system. The problem arises when people switch from the iPhone to Android or Windows Phone without changing their phone number — apparently, Apple
keeps that number in its data base and still has it marked as belonging
to an iPhone user. This means that any text messages sent through
iPhones to that number get stuck in Apple’s cloud and aren’t pushed out
to smartphones that run on a different OS.

Now Re/code reports that “a recent server glitch made
the problem worse, rendering moot one of Apple’s key methods for trying
to remedy the issue.” Apple tells Re/code that it recently fixed this
server glitch, although that’s apparently not enough to completely fix
the iMessage problem. Because of this the company plans “an additional
bug fix in a future software update” in the future, although it won’t
say when this new update will be available or whether it will be part of
the soon-to-be-announced iOS 8.

If you’re an iPhone user who’s planning on buying an Android phone or Windows Phone soon, be sure to check out these tips for avoiding getting your friends’ text messages stuck on Apple’s servers.

From the start of the sunrise until the time when it sets,
you are on my mind and this you should not forget.
Your problems I will press away, sadness I will shove away…

Models disappearing after 2014

Comment May 22, 2014

Mercedes SLS AMG
As it readies a new AMG GT, Mercedes has brought the curtain down on the gullwing-doored SLS and its many hot-rod variants, including the $550,000 electric version.

The class of cars going out of production in 2014 ranges from decades-old stalwarts to models that probably shouldn’t have existed to begin with. Yet within that spread lies several that garnered an intense fan base — even as sales never measured up to expectations.
Three tornadoes touch down in Denver suburb of Aurora

Comment May 22, 2014

Reuters, May 21, 2014

DENVER (Reuters) – Three tornadoes touched down on Wednesday in the Denver suburb of Aurora, but no damage was immediately reported, a National Weather Service meteorologist said.

Another tornado touched down east of Denver in Watkins, Colorado, also without causing damage, said meteorologist Jim Kalina of the Weather Service’s Boulder office.

The three tornadoes in different parts of Aurora, which is nearly 10 miles east of downtown Denver, occurred within less than 30 minutes of each other on Wednesday afternoon, he said.

A tornado watch for Denver was scheduled to remain in effect until 8 p.m. local time, the Weather Service said.

“Denver’s kind of in the clear right now unless something else develops,” Kalina added.

The threat of a tornado led officials at Denver International Airport to briefly place flights on hold and warn visitors outside the facility to seek shelter, the airport said on its Twitter page.

This is the peak time of year for tornadoes in the Denver area, according to Kalina.

Shantidevas’ Bodhisattva vows

Should anyone wish to ridicule me and make me an object of jest and scorn why should I possibly care if I have dedicated myself to others?

Let them do as they wish with me so long as it does not harm them. May no one who encounters me ever have an insignificant contact.

Regardless whether those whom I meet respond towards me with anger or faith, may the mere fact of our meeting contribute to the fulfilment of their wishes.

May the slander, harm and all forms of abuse that anyone should direct towards me act as a cause of their enlightenment.
