Profile URL: http://www.luvfree.com/profile227676.htm Nickname: natek1979 Sex: Man Age: 32 y.o. From: Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, United States 17325 More about me: I hate these sections.. This is where we are supposed to talk up some bullsh*tto try and sell ourselves to people who are probably doing the same thing in their own description.. So what is real about that? I'm going to be real in mine. i do smoke pot on occasion. If that's an issue with you and you go to bars, then we have nothing further to discuss... It is much safer than alcohol. I work hard.. My hobbies include basically my possessions.. Dirtbike, roadbike, snowmobile, gokart, camper, kayak, paddleboat (yup haha), animals.... I love animals.. I have 2 dogs, 1 cat, a goat and pig.. the highlight at my house is my tame pet squirrel... He likes to run up and down my back.. I sell artifacts and antiquarian books for a living.. I also am a mechanic, carpenter, chef, welder, anything for a dollar.. I hate it, but I feel like the psychiatrist for everyone around me, it's exhausting. I'm a philosopher to fault... Sometimes that's my greatest strength and sometimes it trips me up from moving forward on things... I have a tendency to have to understand everything.. But that has saved my ass a million times too. I have 1 truck, 1 car, and a 50+ year old MG Midget... Look it up... I'm a future farmer probably.. I also own a Farmall H.. I'm pretty charitable.. Which also gets me into trouble.. I will drop what I'm doing in a second to help you.. Problem is, I do that for everyone and don't have much time to enjoy the things above... I'm working on that.. Loyalty.. Another defining characteristic of me.. Also gets me in trouble.. I will stand ferociously and stubbornly next to the ones I care about... Problem is, sometimes they take advantage of it and abuse it... So there it is... The good and the bad.. I'm currently in search of buying my first home. I keep being reminded throughout this process that my life would be much better, simpler, and more fulfilling if I had someone to share it with.. I'm getting old, it's time to settle down and lay next to the fireplace with someone where we can dream together... But regardless.... Anyone finding me on here who has as the majority of their photos shots of their ass, deliberate cleavage shots, or more than 40% of your pictures are in bikinis.. We aren't right for each other... I love that don't get me wrong... But to use that to get a date I don't find tasteful.. i like classy women... Not sluts. hahaha.. sorry I look for a woman
Among techies and fans of weird Internet news, it's become a relatively familiar story: An Australian domestic flight lands in Sydney on Friday. Then a passenger's iPhone 4 goes wild. There's "a significant amount of dense smoke, accompanied by a red glow" from the phone, according to a press release from the airline operator, Regional Express.
The passengers and crew all escape unharmed after a flight attendant performs "recovery actions" and the red glow is extinguished. But a significant question remains…what happened?
Also, an even more significant question…could it happen to my iPhone?
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is currently investigating the incident, according to a spokesman for the country's Civil Aviation Safety Authority. "They have the iPhone and will pull it apart," the spokesman said.
The safety bureau has so far not responded to requests for comment, but in the meantime, Mashable contacted an Apple hardware expert to gain some insight on just what might have gone wrong.
Aaron Vronko is a service specialist at Rapid Repair, a Michigan business he co-founded to service and modify Apple devices. He's also a expert on all things iPhone, iPad and iPod.
Vronko said the Australian flight fiasco was most plausibly caused by a combination of a defect in the battery cell with a failure in the phone's battery-temperature management system. This could have been caused by the phone's owner playing a 3D game while simultaneously charging the phone.
"Watching a video or playing a high-powered game is where max power use can occur," Vronko said. "Then batteries have a much higher likelihood of cell failure when charging as opposed to not charging."
The original iPad introduced a thermistor that would physically disconnect the overheating cell from everything else in the device once the cell reached approximately 130 degrees Fahrenheit, Vronko said.
There have been no known cases of an iPad overheating to the point of producing smoke or an eerie glow, as happened with the iPhone in Australia.
With thermistors being relatively inexpensive, Vronko added, one would assume that Apple had included them in all subsequent devices although he couldn't say for sure. If the phone that self-combusted in Australia had a thermistor, it likely wouldn't have needed extinguishing.
Nonetheless, Vronko said, the Australian incident was most likely an isolated — or at least extremely rare — incident.
"I wouldn't necessarily tell people to change their behavior," he said. "It was probably just something wrong with that particular cell."
Apple has so far not responded to Mashable's Tuesday request for comment.
What do you think? Was what happened in Australia just a fluke? Or does it make you wary of using your iPhone intensely?
If you use Gmail, Google Reader, Google+, Google Search, Google Maps — indeed, just about any Google product — you've likely become familiar with that black strip across the top of the screen with links to the company's other services. Google introduced it back in June. Opinions have varied ever since, but many of us have gone with: what on Earth is that ugly thing?
Wonder no longer, because the black bar is going away. In a blog post Wednesday, Google announced it would be replaced with a pop-up that appears when you mouse over the Google logo. There will also be a smaller, less obtrusive light grey bar dominated by a search box.
"Instead of the horizontal black bar at the top of the page, you'll now find links to your services in a new drop-down Google menu nested under the Google logo," writes technical lead Eddie Kessler — whose Google profile identifies him as a "cat herder" — in an official announcement blog post. "We'll show you a list of links and you can access additional services by hovering over the "More" link at the bottom of the list. Click on what you want, and you're off."
Kessler describes the new setup as "the next stage in our redesign." What remains unclear is why Google's redesign had to go through a "black bar" phase in its evolution in the first place. This is, perhaps, best seen as an illustration of something we've pointed out before: that Google's entire design aesthetic is uninspired and haphazard. We're still waiting for the company to find its Jonathan Ive of web design.

As Spotify gears up for its first-ever U.S. press conference in New York City on Wednesday, speculation is heating up about exactly what the streaming music service will announce.
All Things Digital is reporting that the company is likely to announce that third-party developers can make Spotify's music library available to their own users. These users would then in turn have to pay Spotify for privileges. However, Spotify declined to comment on whether the event will include news about the company expanding its application programming interface (API).
It's also rumored that an iPad app and a new music store where members can purchase songs directly from the service could also arrive. The latter is a more likely guess since it's already possible for European Spotify members to buy songs from the streaming service.
Spotify – which arrived on U.S. shores just four months ago – sent out press invitations last week announcing that it has "exciting news" to share about a "new direction" the company is taking. The event called "What's next for Spotify?" will stream online and should feature a special guest or two, along with CEO Daniel Ek.
Spotify has been under pressure recently from competitors such as Google Music, the recently-unveiled free service that allows users to upload, share and browse songs, and then listen to them on the go via cloud storage on Android devices.
There has also been an increase in concern among music partners about the impact of streaming on their business. More than 200 labels and publishers pulled out of various streaming services, from Spotify to Napster and Rdio, after a study claimed streaming music was hurting record sales.
Since this will be the company's first time addressing the press in this manner – it didn't even hold a press conference for its U.S. launch – buzz surrounding the event has been big.
Some experts believe that if Spotify opens up its platform to third-party developers, the music industry would be more open to a "music everywhere" concept, similar to how the TV industry gave cable customers access to watch TV programming online and via iPad apps, according to All Things Digital. The move could also entice more Spotify users to sign up for paid accounts instead of using its basic free model.
Spotify's business is growing fast, helped along by its expansion onto Facebook. In addition, the company recently announced that its premium subscription growth doubled in the last year to 2.5 million, making it the largest music subscription service on the Internet. But with the addition of third-party developers having access to the site's catalog, the growth could be much larger.
"What's next for Spotify?" will kick off at 11:30 a.m. EST on Wednesday and Mashable will be there live blogging the event.
I'm not sure if I should be concerned that this 8-year-old knows the words to Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass," or impressed that she can rap both verses (clean) and belt out the bridge and chorus like nobody's business.
Rightfully so, the video landed her subsequent appearances on The Ellen Show, as well as a stint interviewing musicians at this year's American Music Awards
