To provide a wide range of resources to promote the art and craft of woodcarving, to freely share with carvers and those interested in carving.
Back in the "old days" when people had to type HTML code if they wanted to create a web page, a woodcarver named Bill Judt hand-coded the first woodcarving site on the Internet. In 1996 Judt started what became the Woodcarver List, an email-based place for carvers to meet virtually, to exchange news and techniques, to ask questions and receive answers, and to foster community between carvers world-wide.
At the start of 1997, Judt took another step in support of carvers everywhere and published the first issue of what was then know as the World Wide Woodcarver Ezine, the first electronic magazine, or e-zine, for and by woodcarvers.
In March of 1998, discussion on the Woodcarver List led carver Matt Kelley to organize the first World Wide Woodcarver Exchange (W3E). The original W3E program was an Internet-based, four-times-a-year "secret pal" gift exchange. Still going strong after fifteen years, thousands of secret pal carvings have been exchanged by several hundred carvers in the United States, Canada and other countries.
The success of the original W3E program then prompted Kelley to start the W3E Friendship Cane program in the May of 1998. In the original Friendship Cane program, groups of sixteen carvers exchanged a segment a month over sixteen months. Some 80 people in the first five groups exchanged 1200 segments. In addition to the Cane Exchange, there are also Cane Segment Round Robins, golf ball, bottle stopper, pin and ornament exchanges.
The W3E programs were eventually consolidated into The Carvers' Companion web site, with additional carving resources added over time.
In the fall of 1999, the demands of a professional carving career prompted Judt to pass on stewardship of the online magazine to Kelley, who assumed the role of owner/editor starting with the November/December 1999 issue (Vol 3 Issue 5). Hosting of the ezine shifted from Judt's web site to The Carvers' Companion.
Nine years later, in November of 2008, Kelley assumed management of the Woodcarver List, which was added to The Carvers' Companion.
In July 2011, recognizing the growth in social media and a gradual shift away from traditional mail lists, the Woodcarver List Facebook Group was created, which provided a social venue to post photographs and encouraged further conversations between woodcarvers.
February 2013, saw a major upgrade of the Carvers' Companion site, utilizing WordPress to reduce maintenance overhead, enhance the reader experience, support the ever increasing numbers of portable devices, and provide avenues for additional content.
Ownership: The Carvers' Companion ™, World Wide Woodcarver Exchange (W3E) ™, WorldWideWoodcarver Magazine (E-zine) ™, Woodcarver Online Magazine ™, CelticCarver Woodworks™, Woodcarver Resource Files ™, Woodcarver List ™. Virtual Carving Studio ™ as well as The Carvers' Companion web site, are owned by W.M. Kelley.


This article was written in the 1990s, when there were relatively few people using the Internet. Many of the tips very are relevant today.
I regularly write about appraisal business marketing issues, such as communicating with clients.
Surprisingly, I could find very little written information on netiquette on the Internet itself, and none that was really called "official." Of course, since no one is in charge of the Internet, that shouldn't have surprised us!
When your first go online, or enter a chat room, you will see :> (smiley) and LOL (laughing out loud, an acronym).
– DON'T type messages in all caps.
– Never assume your e-mail can't be read by anyone else, unless encrypted.
– Don't send a message you don't want everyone to see.
– Never send chain letters. They are forbidden on the Internet.
Important rules of mailing lists, news groups, forums, message boards, etc.
– Don't send a message to the entire list asking to subscribe (or unsubscribe) to the list. Send it to the list administrator.
– Be conservative on what you send and liberal on what you receive.
Many mailing lists and newsgroups get overloaded with messages. Subscribers have to wade through many messages looking for one good one. Posting only relevant messages is good netiquette (and keeps away the flames!).
– Follow the published rules for the list/group.
– When replying to e-mail don't quote the entire message you are responding to (Eudora automatically includes it).
– Take disagreements with one person to private e-mail.
– Keep your messages short.
– Don't post a long message unless you warn the reader in the first line. (i.e. Warning: LONG message).
– Include a signature at the bottom of a message to let people know who you are.
– Send only ASCII text if some on the list can't receive binary files.
– Don't use any fancy formatting. You don't know how the other person's software will interpret it.
– Don't post messages just to point out spelling errors or typos. Marks you as a newbie.
– If you ask a question, be sure to post a summary. Many of your responses will be via private e-mail.
– Let people know where you are located. You could be anywhere in the world. For example, saying "Business is good here" without saying where "here" is.
– Anonymous messages are frowned upon. What do you do when you receive anonymous postal mail? Sign your name.
Each mailing list, newsgroup, service provider, etc. has rules and guidelines for their subscribers. What is okay on one may be forbidden on the other.
Be sure you know the rules, especially the written ones.
Just like in any other group, certain unwritten customs and "rules" must be learned by newbies.
Take your time posting messages or jumping into a chat. See how the participants interact. Get a copy of the FAQs (if available) and read them.
Since no one is in charge of the Internet, who enforces the rules?
Every service provider, mailing list, newsgroup, chat group, online discussion group, etc. has rules. Serious violators are kicked out.
Online services cancel subscriptions. For example, America Online kicks subscribers off if they become really obnoxious (typically teen-agers).
Moderators of chat/meeting rooms on online services have the ability to "lock out" pests, jerks, and others.
Internet Service Providers can cancel accounts.
How is netiquette different than etiquette?
Most human interactions are in person or over the phone. Oral or visual communications are much easier to convey as we can see and hear the person, or at least hear the inflections in someone's voice over the phone.
Many of the netiquette "rules" were developed for newsgroups and mailing lists, where messages are posted for others to look at and to respond. You don't see or hear the other people on the Net.
Netiquette applies some of the rules of etiquette: proper ways to interact, don't be rude, etc.
Other "rules," such as "don't take up too much computer resources," are computer related.
News group – messages are posted and replied to. To see the messages, you log onto the news group. Similar to a forum on CompuServe or a message board on AOL.
Use sparingly in e-mail, but handy in chats.

I would like to plot in on one chart. CTIL and downtime should be area plots and ratio should be a line chart.
Current I have 2 separate plots:
df_quater[['CTIL', 'downtime']].plot()

df_quater['ratio'].plot()

Question 1:
How can I plot area plot when type of x is different than y.
I try this:

df_quater[['CTIL', 'downtime']].plot(kind='area')

It generate error

TypeError: Cannot cast ufunc greater_equal input (...) with casting rule 'same_kind'

Question 2:
Can my labels on y be in deltatime format? Current plot has numbers.
Qustion 3:
Can I connect this 2 plot into one? Label for CTIL and downright.time should be on left and label for ratio should be on

"Find a woman who will be your equal in every way. Don't let yourself fall for someone who'll put your world before theirs. Fall for the powerhouse who lives as fearlessly as you do. Find the woman who makes you want to be a better man."

Well, Damn!! I forgot how much I really did enjoy the chemistry between Bennett and Chloe. It's been two years since I read "Beautiful Bastard", and I had been saying that it was my least favorite, but after having finished this novella, I am remembering why I rated the book Five Stars. It definitely deserved it.
This little novella had me from page one. I enjoyed every single minute reading it. Never did I once skim through it.
We get to see where Bennett & Chloe are at a year into their relationship. But we also get all that happened within that year as well, from the time they reunited at the end of book one till present day. They're both still very much in love and so passionate, the steam was super charged!!
Bennett and Chloe are truly equals in their relationship. They're both dedicated to their careers, but are realizing that their love is the most important thing in their lives now. It was so sweet seeing Bennett so enamored with Chloe, that he couldn't take being away from her for even a few hours.
Falling hopelessly in love with someone is all very new to Chloe and many times she has trouble expressing how she feels in words, but when she does let her guard down and open up to Bennett, I was having an "awwwww" moment. I practically tear'd up!!
"I can function without you. But I don't like being away from you. It feels like you take my home with you when you go." ~ Chloe
These two were all kinds of "ADORBS"!!!
I can't say this enough. If you haven't read this series yet, you should definitely pick it up!!
A special thanks to Laura, for teaching me how to add text to GIFs!!

I can't get enough of how good this novella is! I didn't actually expect to find myself enjoying yet another round of Bennett and Chloe's story. What an enticing continuation to Beautiful Bastard!

The novella follows Chloe and Bennett's story after they reconciled in Beautiful Bastard. In this novella we get to see the couple finally picking up the pieces and working on their relationship whilst giving their effort to the company they're working.
I saw how Bennett and Chloe struggled to keep their relationship in good harmony here but despite their busy schedules, they were able to keep their flame together. What I loved about Beautiful Bitch is that these characters remain swoon-worthy, especially Bennett. Gawwwwd I loved his POV so much! It's so funny and very sexy, too.
I also loved the characters' chemistry here. And of course, the steamy scenes...]
And that ending... so beautiful and satisfying!!! For fans of Beautiful Bastard, don't miss this novella. :))

3 MR RYAN STARS.
This series is a firm favourite amongst romance readers all over, and I must admit that it has become the perfect reading escape for me. I'm hoping that the writing duo are up for writing more about the characters we have grown to love but for now I'm loading up my kindle with the novella's in this loveable series. Here are my 'beautiful bitch' book thoughts ...
'Beautiful bitch' picks up right where 'Beautiful bastard' left off. We are taken right back into th 3 MR RYAN STARS.
'Beautiful bitch' picks up right where 'Beautiful bastard' left off. We are taken right back into the heart of this duo's devoted but explosive desire. You can expect more sexy, more steamy and more panty ripping in an explosive novella following the continuation of a relationship between the Loveable Chloe Mills and gorgeously demanding Ryan Bennett.
What did I love?
The flirty banter and connection between Bennett and Chloe is both sexy, humorous and heart pounding, I loved getting another look into their lives and catching up on more details of this couples journey. As usual with this couple the fiery nature of their love was also coupled with a sweet sensitive side which was highlighted further with this story and as with 'beautiful bastard' I appreciated the consistency of character personality throughout the story. It has sweet sexy and laugh out loud moments written all over it and it did deliver a special ending that left my feeling warm and fuzzy inside.
Why not five?
The novella although not lengthy didn't hold my undivided attention the whole way through, there were times that I felt it dragged out and some of the storyline felt over explained. Also unfortunately there were times throughout the story that I checked how long I had to finish the book. Having said all the above there were moments of pure reading pleasure and heart warming romance so overall the book was awarded a middle of the road likeable three stars.
Final thoughts ...
If you have not yet grabbed this series and you like your romance books to be full of sexy, sweet and easy reading then don't wait much longer go ahead and grab it readers ... Enjoy, kisses.

It was nice and maybe even interesting and everything... but the problem is that I missed something that I really liked in the previous book. I don't know what it was, but I could feel that it was missing in this one. Anyway if you enjoyed reading BB, you should read this. It is an interesting extra story for the original book but do not expect much from this one.

Bennett reaches his breaking point and comes up with a crazy plan but one that he knows will work. Not surprisingly, Chloe is on board. The only problem is not everything wants to cooperate.
I love how they both think the same things and come up with similar plans. And I loved how it all worked out.
I definitely will continue reading the series but I'm a little sad it won't be just about them.

Beautiful Bitch was completely unnecessary, this novella could have been condensed and been an epilogue for Beautiful Bastard. So basically what this novella did was tie up some loose ends from its predecessor. Chloe and Bennett, are very much in love and are juggling their very busy work schedule while trying to squeeze in some alone time in between, which is proving to be a battle.

The story is told mainly in Bennett's POV, but there is some input from Chloe. Bennett reminisces about the period he and Chloe were apart, and immediately after they were re-united. He also thinks back on all their failed attempts to go away together on vacation. I must say I found this unnecessary bit of angst annoying. Bennett, was quite toned down in this book, he was not much of an ass, I did miss that. He's hopelessly in love with Chloe and so is she.
The ending was quite predictable, but satisfactory. I didn't hate it, I liked it, but again this all could have been an epilogue.
The sex was hot though...

I wasn't originally going to read the novellas in this series--in fact, I started this book a few months ago and stopped reading because I didn't really care about Chloe and Bennet, but now that I'm on book four in the series, it's become pretty clear that you should read the novellas in order to meet the characters later on in the series and see what's happening behind the scenes.

I listened to the audio book of this novella, and found that I actually enjoyed it a bit more than Beautiful Bastard. It was sexy, steamy, straight up funny as hell. I love the Bennett/Chloe banter and it was missing a lot of the angst and drama from BB which was a plus. It was also in dual pov, and it didn't hurt that Mr. Ryan had a sexy voice! With a couple like Bennett and Chloe... you wonder if they will live happily ever after, or kill each other first ;)

This novella basically an extended epilogue of Beautiful Bastard.
This was a bridge between books, establishing key players in the next installments of the series and wrapping up the story of Chloe & Bennett. It was mostly flashbacks focusing on the days immediately following the end of Beautiful Bastard… If you loved Beautiful Bastard, you should definitely read this book to discover how our favorite dysfunctional office romance is shaping up nearly a year later...
Best part of this book?
We g This novella basically an extended epilogue of Beautiful Bastard.
We get to meet Max Stella, who is the heartthrob from the next book, Beautiful Stranger…and he is an established member of my Book Boyfriend List!
Some of My Favorite Moments:
(view spoiler)[
Chloe Mills walked toward me, wearing a slim red wool skirt, a fitted navy sweater, and heels that, quite frankly, didn't look very safe outside of the bedroom.
"I'd only realized that I loved you, that maybe I had been in love with you for a while, and then suddenly you were gone."
The fact that we managed to survive working in the same office together for ten months without bloodshed or some sort of manslaughter stapler incident still surprised me.
"Jesus, Bennett. It's like ten in the morning and you're killing me with the swoons here."
"Here to show me how to grow a penis so I can get the job done?"
"Chloe, I'm pretty sure if you wanted to grow one, you could do it by will alone."
She let a half smile form, pushing back from her desk and crossing her legs. "I'd grow one just so I could ask you to suck on it."
"Don't pout," I murmured, bending to kiss the corner of her mouth.
Well, fuck.

As we know, the happily ever after doesn't come after the final kiss and "I love you".
After that there's a whole relationship to manage, which can be hard especially when life keeps interfering.
That's the point where Chloe and Bennet are: their work life keeps interfering with their private life and suddenly they don't have time for themselves anymore.
So when things starts to get crazy, they decide it's time to stop and re-evaluate their love and their priorities.
For those who 3,5 Sexy Stars.

Once I learned that there was a rewrite of Beautiful Bastard, this book made a lot more sense. although even though I was able to read it and understand what was going on,I still am not really in love with this book. Between the rewrite and this, they still aren't as good as the original BB. There didn't seem to be a real plot to this book, and it just made my opinion of Chloe drop.

I smiled as I thought back to my mother's advice:
Well, I had found her. Now all I had to do was wait for her to get here, so I could make sure she knew.
Or the slightly drunken text he sent Chloe:
I'm so glad we met when we did. Even if you were an enormous pain in my ass, you're still the best thing that ever happened to me
It's these moments that redeemed Bennett with me. He knew he was a bastard most of the time, but he softened when it came to Chloe. He resented when work took them away from each other and was willing to do whatever they needed to do in order to be together. ...more

This is a good ending for Bennett and Chloe. I love that this book is written through both Bennett and Chloe point of views. The sex scenes were hot and steamy.

Find a woman who makes you want to be a better man." ...more

It has been quite some time since I read 'Beautiful Bastard', which I loved. I was looking forward to revisiting Bennett and Chloe, certain they'd deliver a dose of the feistiness that they're known for and a few laugh-out-loud moments. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting.

We all know that they were both over the moon for one another and reconciled at the end of 'Beautiful Bastard'. However, the Bennett we all fell in love with seems to have had a personality transplant between the conclusion of 'Beautiful Bastard' and this follow-up novella. What happened to the sharp-tongued asshole that we all fell in love with??? That guy was funny! The new Bennett just seems shamelessly whipped. In my opinion, he lost a large part of his appeal when he lost his attitude.
In short, it was okay, but I could have done without just as easily. I didn't gain any new information and I don't think it added anything to the storyline. Like many others have said already, it could have easily been condensed into an epilogue. I'm just hoping that Bennett will ask Chloe if he can have his balls back sometime before the wedding! This newer, more docile Bennett just doesn't do it for me. ...more

I didn't love this one as much as the first book in the series, but there are a couple of reasons:
1) This one is told in dual POV with a male and a female narrator. I didn't like the male narrator as much, and I think that took away from my enjoyment.
2) The story wasn't quite as good as Beautiful Bastard, but I still liked it. I felt like Bennett was whiny in Beautiful Bitch.
I started Beautiful Stranger today, so fingers crossed, I like the narrator more! :D

This book was a lot of talk and not a lot of action. Between work, friends, family and just life in general Chloe and Bennett don't get to see a lot of each other. The time they do find together seems to always get interrupted. I was kind of frustrated sexually myself. ;)
Ultimately we end with Chloe and Bennett taking a three-week vacation to France and getting engaged (which we hear about in Beautiful Stranger). And we also meet Max from BS. Seems to me maybe this one should have been released before BS?!?! But hey....if you loved Beautiful Bastard then you'll definitely love Beautiful Bitch!

Tinted Day Cream richly moisturises the skin and gives it a subtle, natural glow. Combining nourishing avocado and almond oils with protective rose wax, beeswax and quince seeds, it helps prevent dryness by balancing the skin's oil and moisture levels and supporting its natural moisturising functions. Rose, quince and St. John's wort tone the skin and support elasticity, while nourishing rose water and extracts of kidney vetch have a balancing, harmonising effect. Tinted Day Cream nourishes dry, sensitive, reddened and mature skin, harmoniously blending with your own natural skin tone for an even complexion.
Without doubt the best tinted day cream out there. Natural healthy glow all year round. It has a distinct but not unpleasant fragrance but it disappears quickly. Adapts to your skin tone for an even light coverage beautiful product....you will not be disappointed.
I can highly recommend this wonderful Tinted Day Cream.
It is very pleasant and the skin feels nourished all day long.
The colour is just perfect for a natural, healthy look and have a good coverage and therefore I don't need to wear make up.
I love this one! It's quite thick but for my aging dry skin it feels magic. Just the right kind of tint for an ever so slight glow. Will buy again.
I thoroughly recommend this cream, which I have used now for some years.
This product is really good because it gives a great colour to the face. Skin looks radiant and healthy. Especially in the winter, it helps my skin go from dull to skin-kissed.
Really lovely if you don't have time to apply foundation, gives a nice colour.
As a male i was looking for a tinted moisturizer that doesn't look like make up and this was the answer! I love all of Dr Hauschka products and this moisturizer didn't disappoint! It's hydrating, it's even out my skin and gives a beautiful summer glow! Sun kissed without the damaging sun light! I love it! You only need a all amount to cover the face and hydration last all day! I couldn't ask for more! It calms my skin, hide any redness and i have to admit, I'm addicted to the smell of the product! And a tip for you- of your SPF leaves a white cast ( many does) put this on top and you're ready to go!
It can make my face look shiny. I find I do need to use moisturiser before applying the tinted cream because the tinted cream alone does not spread evenly and my skin is dry in the winter. If I want to use your product in the summer does it have any sun protection?
Too greasy for my skin and did not suit me.
Although the product was of very high quality and felt good to apply, the colour was too dark for me . Perhaps a range of tints would give users more choice.


Federal DOJ Investigation Defense Attorneys - Oberheiden, P.C.
Any investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ), whether into yourself or your business, is a very serious matter. You should take proactive steps to protect yourself and your business before any charges are filed against you. Having the right attorneys at the right time may even allow you to avoid civil or criminal charges altogether.
The Department of Justice is the department within the federal government in charge of enforcing federal laws. The DOJ is headed by the United States Attorney General and is comprised of numerous federal law enforcement agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
Generally, the Department of Justice's investigation will be going on long before the individuals or entities under investigation realize that they are under investigation. One way you may find out about an investigation is through a Target Letter, which is a letter sent by the Department of Justice that informs the recipient that he or she is the target of a federal criminal investigation and asks that person to cooperate with the investigation through a proffer.
Another more abrupt way you may find out about a federal investigation is when federal officials arrive at your home or office. They may be there to execute a search warrant, or they may ask to speak with you about the investigation. While investigators may suggest that they only want to speak with you as a witness, you should always assume you are the target of the investigation.
Alternatively, you may find out about an investigation by receiving a grand jury subpoena. Although not everyone who receives a grand jury subpoena is the target of an investigation, receiving a subpoena is a strong indication that you are being targeted by federal investigators.
If you are under investigation by the DOJ, the investigation is likely criminal in nature. You are at risk for receiving criminal penalties, such as criminal charges, prison time, probation, or criminal fines. In many cases, the way a target acts during the course of the DOJ investigation determines whether that person is charged at all. Therefore, the steps you take while the investigation is pending are often more important than the defense you put on at trial.
Although most Americans can recite the language of the Miranda Warning by heart, it is easy to forget what it means when you are faced with federal investigators.
You may decline to speak with investigators outside of confirming your correct name and address. Your refusal to converse with investigators cannot be used against you in later court proceedings.
You can refuse a search of your house or office unless and until the police have obtained a valid search warrant.
You have a right to legal counsel and the right to decline to speak with investigators outside of the presence of your lawyer.
Your rights may be waived if you do not enforce them. Thus, for example, if you voluntarily allow investigators to search your house, you cannot later complain that they did not have a warrant.
Never Speak with Investigators without an Attorney. While investigators may initially approach you in a casual, friendly manner, you should not mistake their demeanor as an indication that you are not the target of their investigation; federal investigators often use this tactic to entrap targets when their guard is down. The safest course is to never interact with investigators unless you have a lawyer present.
Don't Talk about Your Case. If you are under investigation by the DOJ, DOJ officials are likely building a criminal case against you. In preparing their case, they may subpoena anyone with knowledge of any of the issues to testify at a grand jury proceeding or at trial, including your friends, family, co-workers and employees. Additionally, the DOJ may subpoena written records of your communications, including texts, emails, and phone records. Therefore, any information that you communicate about your case may be used as evidence against you in a court of law. When you talk about your case, you are creating potential witnesses against you.
Avoid Social Media. DOJ investigators may obtain the records of your social media accounts just like your communication records. Therefore, you should not discuss the details of your case on social media, no matter how strict you set your privacy settings. When you post on social media, you may be creating evidence that will be used against you in your case.
Don't Destroy Any Evidence. While it may be tempting to delete incriminating emails or documents once you learn the DOJ is investigating you, doing so is never a good idea. In fact, destroying documents or any type of evidence is considered obstruction of justice and may subject you to criminal charges independent of, and in addition to, any charges you may face in the FBI's underlying investigation into you. Not only should you personally refrain from altering or destroying any evidence, including any device that may contain evidence (i.e. computer or cellular phone), you should affirmatively turn off any auto-delete functions that may affect your files and give instructions to any employees, co-workers, or family members that may have access to your files or devices to refrain from deleting or altering any documents or evidence.
Don't Wait. You do not need to wait until criminal charges are filed to hire defense counsel. To the contrary, a defense attorney will help guide you through the investigation in a way that limits or negates your exposure to criminal charges. Therefore, the sooner you hire an attorney, the more likely you will be to avoid criminal charges.
Protect Yourself. An experienced defense attorney will help you fully enforce your constitutional rights. Moreover, a defense attorney will help you avoid the common but costly mistakes many targets make during an investigation, such as lying to a federal officer or obstructing justice. Your attorney will assume all communications with federal officials, including handling subpoena requests, and will determine if and when it is in your best interest to grant an interview with investigators.
Find Federal Experience. If you are being investigated by the DOJ, federal investigators are handling your case, violation of federal laws are at issue, and any eventual case against you will proceed through the federal court system. Therefore, you should hire an attorney well-versed in federal laws and procedures and who has experience in federal court.
You Need Someone Who Is Always Available. The right defense attorney will not only represent you to federal authorities but will also explain to you how the investigative process works and what you should expect. You want a lawyer who answers your questions about your case and one who listens and responds to your concerns about the investigation. This means hiring a law firm that will not wall you off from attorneys with secretaries or paralegals and whose attorneys are available to speak with you whenever you need them.
Oberheiden, P.C. consists of several former Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSAs), who previously served the Department of Justice as federal prosecutors. If you are under investigation by the Department of Justice, or if you have received a target letter or a Grand Jury subpoena, please contact one of the experienced attorneys of Oberheiden, P.C. today to discuss your situation.
If you are under investigation by the DOJ, you may contact Oberheiden, P.C. for a free and confidential consultation. Our attorneys are available seven days a week, even on weekends, to speak with you about how we may be able to help you with your case. Oberheiden, P.C. represents clients across the country facing DOJ investigations.

Microsoft working on App Store-like app distribution
Ballmer acknowledges "good work" of Facebook and the iPhone in making it easier for developers to distribute their applications.
Gregg Keizer (Computerworld) 10 November, 2008 09:14
Microsoft is working on a software distribution scheme along the lines of Apple's iPhone App Store, CEO Steve Ballmer said at a developer's conference in Sydney last week.
But Microsoft has no plans to mimic Apple in another way, Ballmer added, rejecting the idea of using the open-source WebKit rendering engine to power the company's Internet Explorer (IE) Web browser. Apple relies on WebKit as the foundation of its Safari browser, as does Google for its Chrome.
During the question-and-answer portion of his time on stage at an event the company billed as "Liberation Day" for Australian developers, Ballmer said that Microsoft will soon launch a service that will let programmers sell their wares directly to consumers.
"I actually will agree that there's some good work, particularly at Facebook and also with the iPhone, where both of those companies have made it easier for developers to distribute their applications," Ballmer said when asked whether Microsoft would provide a way for developers to create software and distribute it directly to users.
"[They've] made it easier to kind of get exposure for your applications," Ballmer continued. "There's not much money being made, but the general concept of giving developers a way not only to get their code distributed, but to really get visibility for the code, is a good idea."
Apple's App Store, which launched in July along with the iPhone 3G, has been a phenomenal success, according to CEO Steve Jobs. During a conference call last month with Wall Street analysts to discuss his company's most recently-concluded quarter, Jobs said that users had downloaded 200 million programs from the App Store since its debut, and that the online mart -- the only officially sanctioned way to add new capabilities to an iPhone -- boasted more than 5,500 applications.
Facebook, meanwhile, has allowed third-party developers to market software on the social networking site since May 2007.
Ballmer hinted that something similar would be coming soon from Microsoft. "We debated long and hard before the [Professional Developers Conference] whether we ought to disclose some of the things that we've got in progress," Ballmer said. The Professional Developers Conference (PDC) was held in Los Angeles last week.
"We decided the answer was 'Not ready to talk about those yet'," Ballmer continued. "But fear not, we're hard at work, and you'll see some of the benefits [of that] with some of the concepts, particularly Facebook's."
Ballmer's lean toward Facebook makes sense. In June, Microsoft said it had prototyped a Facebook knock-off dubbed "TownSquare" and was testing it inside the company. According to Microsoft, TownSquare was designed to run inside enterprises.
Although Microsoft may soon mimic Apple's App Store, Ballmer was less willing to admit his firm would copy Apple in another way.
When a developer asked Ballmer to "explain why IE is still relevant" and questioned Microsoft's use of its own rendering engine, Trident, rather than the open-source WebKit engine, Ballmer rejected the idea that all browsers should use the same foundation.
"I think there will continue to be a lot of proprietary innovation by us, and other people, inside the browser itself," said Ballmer. "A company like ours needs to have [its own] rendering service. It is important that we have a browser that embraces [Internet] standards, but also allows us to have innovative extensions even before the standards bodies go there."
Ballmer did say that he thought WebKit was "an interesting thing" -- though he mentioned only Apple by name, omitting Microsoft's even bigger rival, Google, which also uses WebKit -- and added that Microsoft might consider the open-source engine. Even then, however, he stuck up for IE.
"From time to time we may take a look at [WebKit], but right now we feel very confident in our browser team and its availability to execute," Ballmer said.
Microsoft is currently working on IE8, which hit Beta 2 in late August. The company has not set a delivery date for the final code of the new browser, however.


Meekan, Mark G., von Kuerthy, Corinna, Mccormick, Mark I., and Radford, Ben (2010) Behavioural mediation of the costs and benefits of fast growth in a marine fish. Animal Behaviour, 79 (4). pp. 803-809.
Trade-offs between the costs and benefits of growth are thought to be mediated by behaviour, whereby rapid growth is associated with greater predation mortality because of increased foraging effort. We tested this hypothesis by collecting young Pomacentrus amboinensis using light traps and settling them onto patch reefs where their behaviour and survivorship were monitored for 24 h. One month later, individuals of the same cohort were collected from shallow reefs and released onto patch reefs where their behaviour and survivorship were monitored for 6 days. At settlement young fish suffered high (60% in 24 h) mortality that preferentially removed larger, faster-growing individuals. However, we could find no evidence that foraging behaviour contributed to this selective mortality. In contrast, 1 month later the same cohort underwent negative size-selective mortality where the smallest, slower-growing fish were preferentially removed by predators. Larger fish spent more time foraging, were more aggressive, swam greater distances and chased more fish than smaller individuals. Thus, consistent individual differences in behaviour contributed to patterns of mortality, but in a way that involved no apparent trade-off with growth. For P. amboinensis, consistent variation in growth may be maintained by spatial and temporal differences in the selective regime within the reef environment.
