Hamptons International Film Festival highlights
The HAMPTONS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL is proud to announce the films, programs and special events which will make up the 2008 season. Now in its 16th year, this East Coast favorite comes to life against the fall back-drop as talent, industry and audiences participate in what has now become one of the leading international film festivals of the world. The 2008 Hamptons International Film Festival runs October 15th through 19th, 2008, in East Hampton, New York with additional venues in Southampton, Sag Harbor and Montauk.
The Hamptons International Film Festival was founded to celebrate independent film and to introduce a unique and varied spectrum of international films and filmmakers to our audiences. The Festival is committed to exhibiting films that express fresh voices and differing global perspectives, with the hope that these programs will enlighten audiences, provide invaluable exposure for filmmakers and present inspired entertainment for all.
"The process of compiling the slate of films for the 2008 Festival was truly a process of discovery," says David Nugent, Director of Programming. "The cross-section of films we are seeing this year represent unique and often unheard voices in film. From films made in China, Iran and Denmark, to those made right here in Montauk and East Hampton, I'm excited to be presenting our audiences global perspectives and local voices."
This year's Festival features 122 films including - 14 World Premieres, 23 North American Premieres, 18 US Premieres, 15 East Coast Premieres and 15 New York Premieres.
"Our aim this year was to begin to develop long-term partnerships - both here and abroad - in order to solidify the foundation of our festival and to broaden its reach and appeal," says Karen Arikian, Executive Director. "I think, with this diverse program, and the many international guests we are expecting, we have achieved this goal."
The heart of the Hamptons International Film Festival has always been its Golden Starfish Award and the films in the competitions for Best Narrative Feature (over $185,000 in goods and in-kind services), Best Documentary Award ($5,000 in cash) and Short Film Award ($5,000 in cash).

Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Award:¬
For the 9th consecutive year, the $25,000 Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Film Prize in Science and Technology for a feature-length film that explores science and technology themes in fresh, innovative ways and depicts scientists and engineers in a realistic and compelling fashion will be presented at the Hamptons International Film Festival.
This years recipient of the Alfred P. Sloan award is Marc Abraham's, FLASH OF GENIUS, a Universal Pictures release, written by Philip Railsback, based on the New Yorker article by John Seabrook and starring Greg Kinnear, Alan Alda, Lauren Graham, Dermot Mulroney and Jake Abel (one of this year's HIFF Rising Stars). Based on the true story of a college professor and part-time inventor Robert Kearns' (Greg Kinnear) long battle with the U.S. automobile industry, FLASH OF GENIUS tells the tale of one man whose fight to receive recognition for his ingenuity would come at a heavy price. But this determined engineer refused to be silenced, and took on the corporate titans in a battle that nobody thought he could win.
The Hamptons/Sloan feature Film Prize comes from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's program in public understanding of science and forms part of a broader effort to stimulate leading artists in film, television, and theater to create more credible works about science and technology. The program aims to enhance people's lives by providing a better understanding of the increasingly scientific and technological environment in which we live.

Weber is perhaps best known for his popular, much-imitated advertising campaigns for brands like Calvin Klein, Banana Republic, Ralph Lauren, and Abercrombie & Fitch, and for his award-winning music videos for Chris Isaak and the Pet Shop Boys. Weber is also the director of 10 short and feature films, earning awards from the International Documentary Association, and an Academy Award nomination for his classic documentary on jazz trumpeter Chet Baker, LET'S GET LOST.

eCigs are more popular and beloved today than ever before, and it's not difficult to understand why. The ample benefits of eCigs versus traditional cigarettes, which are detailed in this piece, are wide-ranging and abundant. However, as experienced eCig users will attest to, one of the key byproducts of this upswing in vaping popularity is an absolutely sprawling industry—an industry that, to novices, can be completely overwhelming.
To help anyone who is interested (or might be interested) in eCigs, let's take a look at everything that's needed to begin vaping!
First and foremost, it must be noted that eCigs will help smokers of traditional cigarettes to save money. And while the desire to save money with eCigs is hardly a "need" for those who're looking to get into vaping, it's hard to argue against extra cash and awesome value.
As the price of cigarettes continually creeps up, the price of eCigs and eJuice continues to become more and more reasonable. Thanks to reputable and customer-friendly companies like O2Pur. Puff-for-puff, eCigs are much, much more affordable than their traditional counterparts, and the sheer value associated with vaping has accordingly prompted a considerable number of individuals to adopt the hobby.
Even for non-smokers, it's difficult to not be impressed by eCigs' outstanding pricing.
For ultra-eager, convenience-loving individuals who can't wait to start vaping, an eCig starter kit may be the way to go.
As one can guess, eCig starter kits are simply pre-made bundles that contain everything one needs to begin vaping. The positives of these kits are that buying and using them is effortless, there's no guesswork on the customer's end, and they are, of course, complete, and boast all the eCig gear required to enjoy the hobby.
On the other hand, eCig starter kits don't provide customers with a tremendous amount of freedom to choose the eJuice flavors and styles that suit their preferences, they generally cost slightly more than the sum of their parts, and they cannot be easily customized (in terms of battery, attachments, and more).
Importantly, those who're intrigued by the idea of an eCig starter kit must, to assure that they're getting quality gear, buy from a top-notch company (such as O2Pur). In the eCig industry, just as in every other business sphere, unreliable companies provide unreliable products to customers.
Unlike traditional cigarettes, eCigs are rechargeable, and are intended to be used multiple times. Their pricing reflects this reusability, but to be sure, the aforementioned value associated with eCigs is still unparalleled. For smokers, once again, this means saving a considerable amount of cash. For non-smokers, this means gaining access to an exhilarating hobby for little to no money, in the grand scheme of things.
Choosing an eCig is all about the individual at-hand, and what he or she is looking for. Generally speaking, those who're new to vaping should consider an eCig's price, charge time, battery length, tank compatibility, user reviews, and more, before settling on a product.
Charge time and battery length are very significant elements of every eCig. These elements, in short, determine how long a device needs to charge for and how long it can be used for (this latter measurement is usually defined in puffs); these usage specifications directly impact convenience. For example, some more affordable devices feature relatively short battery lengths and relatively long charge times, while the inverse is true of other, more expensive eCigs. Of course, there are also a number of fairly priced and impressively charged eCigs on the market!
Gauging this information and making a decision based upon personal preferences is the name of the game.
Tank compatibility refers to the style, make, and type of tank that's able to be used with an eCig model. Tanks, in the vaping industry, are the storage containers for eJuice, or the flavored substance that allows vapers to puff vapor. Certain tanks cost more, while others cost less, and customers will have to see what type of tank the eCig(s) they're considering buying are compatible with, so as to set-up a tank-purchasing plan that satisfies their budget and preferences.
User reviews are hardly the end-all that many consider them to be, and to be sure, if an eCig (or other product) looks appealing, it's probably worth purchasing. Particularly when it's sold through a reputable company like O2Pur on their website. However, user reviews are useful in that they provide a glimpse of the positives and negatives associated with devices, as well as what can be expected from these devices; this information may prove useful to prospective customers.
To be sure, a box mod is about the only thing listed here that interested individuals don't need to have to get started with eCigs. But, for those who're seeking a more personalized vaping experience, it might be worth, at the very least, briefly exploring box mods.
Box mods, in short, are specially designed and easily customizable eCig units that allow users to mold and format their vaping experiences to suit their needs. Box mods can be purchased in both complete (or equipped with electronic components) or incomplete (or not equipped with electronic components) formats, with the latter providing users more customization options than the former, but requiring extra time and effort to get up and running.
Box mods are useful in the sense that that their eJuice storage units, batteries, vape styles, and more can be customized by users. Generally speaking, these devices are purchased by more experienced vapers, but by all means, customers who're new to the industry and have conducted a suitable amount of research should feel free to buy, should they wish to do so.
As was stated, eJuice is the substance that's installed in eCigs to provide vapor with flavor; eJuice is once again used in an eCig or other compatible vaping device through a tank. Importantly, any eJuice can be easily and conveniently swapped out for another, depending on the user's preferences.
As such, anyone who's new to vaping will need an eJuice tank that's compatible with the device they're thinking of purchasing. The good news is that many companies (including O2PurStore, of course!) offer bonus eJuices and eJuice tanks to customers who purchase a new eCig device and/or meet a certain spending threshold.
The other thing eCig users need, with respect to eJuice, is love for endless flavors. Unlike traditional cigarettes (which, it must be noted, have had their taste replicated in eJuice form), eCigs allow users to choose from an astonishing number of flavors.
Lovers of sweet tastes can vape fruit-flavored, candy-flavored, and even dessert-flavored eJuices; tobacco, earthiness, and other "classic" smoking flavors are perfect for old-school smokers; and nearly every imaginable flavor in between, including companies' secret "specialty" blends, are waiting to be toked by more adventurous eCigs customers.
The sheer multitude of flavor options available through eJuice is a selling point in its own right, and furthermore, it is a factor that's kept many users coming back again and again, without encountering the slightest feeling of repetition.
Last but certainly not least, anyone—no, everyone—who wants to get the most out of their eCig experiences must have a reliable store on-hand to shop from. Having a reliable vaping store selected and ready to order from—"reliable" referring in this instance to a store like O2Pur, that boasts competitive prices, a wide array of products, helpful information, excellent customer support, and efficient shipping—will be the difference between having an awesome time vaping and having a terrible time vaping, in short.
More than this, though, buying eCig equipment through a top-notch distributor is a fantastic way to encourage further industry growth and innovation. Because, as those who're new to vaping will find with experience, the companies that truly care about their customers and work towards providing optimal buying experiences are the same companies that will invest in tomorrow's cutting-edge vaping tech.
These are the companies that go above and beyond, making the entire eCig landscape better in the process. These are the companies that release new and improved eCigs that cost less, hold more charge, and are smoother to use. These are the companies that, for little to no profit (and even immediate losses), take the time to develop holiday-themed eJuices, just for their diehard customers.
These are the companies that started the eCig revolution.
Hopefully the information included in this guide will prove useful to those who're considering jumping into the eCig industry. Moreover, here's to these potential vapers making the decision to become part of the ever-growing hobby as soon as possible.
Because, once the required eCig gear is purchased, the actual vaping process is one that's all but sure to be enjoyable, as a result of the countless benefits and perks of the industry.


7/10/2006�� I'm trying to implement a editable text box type of thing, and I'm having a little trouble with keyboard input. The best choice for something like this would be handling keyboard events and adding characters that way, but from what I've seen there is currently no way to handle those events in an XNA �... Draw a shadow sprite like you draw your character before the character (to make it appear behind him). Make sure its X position is updated according to the character, but the Y position stays on the tile. You have got a shadow.

Overcoming the Threats of Our Strategic Competitors
What weapon systems and posture enhancements should Congress and the Defense Department consider to prepare the United States for potential conflicts? In a RAND Congressional Briefing, David Ochmanek will discuss solutions that could help defend against national security challenges. [Washington, D.C.]
Understanding and Shaping the Ongoing Korea Crisis
Upon return from his latest trip to the Korean Peninsula, RAND's Bruce Bennett will offer RAND alumni and supporters his analysis of the recent appearance of a détente between North and South Korea. He also will explain U.S. options for shaping the ongoing crisis and suggest new opportunities to pressure North Korea toward denuclearization. [Santa Monica, CA]
After Brexit: Economic Prospects for the UK, EU, and U.S.
The United Kingdom is scheduled to leave the European Union in March, 2019, but there is uncertainty about whether the break will be "soft," "hard," or even final. Ambassador Charles Ries and RAND senior economist Howard Shatz will discuss Brexit options and how they could impact U.S. economic, foreign policy, and security interests. [Washington, D.C.]
Teacher Pension Workshop
This Teacher Pension Workshop aims to connect evidence-based research to pension reform. In March 2018, this two-day conference will address topics including the political economy of pensions, underfunding and cross-subsidization, and the future of teacher retirement and pension research. [Santa Monica, CA]
U.S.-Japan Alliance Series
In part four of this event series, RAND will host a two-day conference to discuss U.S. and Japanese perspectives on the Iran nuclear deal and the creation of the amphibious rapidly deployable brigade (ARDB). [Santa Monica, CA]
The Collision of AI and Privacy
Algorithms and machine learning have brought us smart voice systems, driverless cars, and drone delivery systems. Your credit score, and your job prospects might be determined by a computer program, all while your data is being collected. Society can benefit from this large-scale data exchange, but what is happening to protection of personal information? [Pittsburgh, PA]
Safety in a World of Driverless Cars
In this Call with the Experts, senior information scientist Nidhi Kalra discusses a RAND study that shows putting driverless cars on the road before they're nearly perfect could save lives, and also describes new approaches for safety standards.
How "Serious" Games Inform Decisionmaking

Just a few links… Knit your own SackBoy! Interactive Map of Springfield. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake.
A modeling program to help you design your own plushie. Um, so cool!
Totally narfing this from Kris… The Weezer video for Pork and Beans is frickin awesome.


It's been a minute since I've posted. I have been traveling a lot. Here. There. Everywhere. I have been spending quite a bit of time in Alabama. Before I took this job, I didn't know much about Alabama, other than what I'd learned in history about the Civil Rights Movement (I will never forget the tragedy at the 16th Street Baptist Church). I knew about the Tuskegee Airmen. The Vulcan statue in Birmingham. I even knew the Skynyrd song. But I knew little more than that…oh yeah, they do like college football here. You don't just say "Good Morning" oh no…the typical greeting is "Roll Tide" or "War Eagle" depending on which side you're on.
As I've visited this beautiful state, I have become enamored with the people I've met. It's an eclectic and diverse mix from all walks of life. I have yet to encounter anyone who was rude or less than helpful. I am sure they are out there but for the most part, I've had a great experience during my travels here.
Tonight, I am coming to you live from Birmingham. It is often referred to as the "Pittsburgh of the South" because of its iron and steel industries. Birmingham was named after Birmingham, England (for the music trivia junkies…this is where the band Black Sabbath formed). But I am not here to give you a travel guide review on the Birmingham area. No. I am here to dish on the local flavor. Not the food (although there is an amazing Greek restaurant I love) but I would like to dish on the music scene.
When I returned from dinner, I pulled up some of their music on YouTube and remembered why I love them so. I was in my room with hands up, head down, about to testify! Their sound is such a throwback to the late-great Otis Redding, one of my favorite artists of all time. (On a side note, I worked with his daughter for a brief time in my life. Delightful person!) Anywho…St. Paul and the Broken Bones have a sound unlike anyone else on the charts. And they are not brand new on the scene, but they are new enough that you may not have heard of them. So let me do you a solid and share a song.
Give them a listen. This is a cover of one of my favorite Otis Redding songs. And they do a mean version of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" so if you want more, look that one up. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Awwwww!!! Thank you so much for that shout out!
So happy to know that the good folks there are treating you right.
I was just talking to one of my cousins in Monkeytown aka Montgomery, and she said that they just got a "B.B. King" Blues club there. Girl, somehow, we need to go check that out.
Let's put it on our to do list for 2017.
And YAAASSSSS! You know I love me some brass!
Nice rendition of the Big O!!!
Sign me up for the blues club! We must find a way to venture there and then post about it! Glad you liked these guys. They've got some chops! Thanks for the comments friend! Sorry for the long pause in my response but you know the situ …on the road and driving all the time!
You had me at "I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)." That is the first song I ever remember hearing my mother play for me. It holds a special place in my heart and memories. This version is pretty good. I see they have an album called Sea Of Noise that I have to check out. It was nominated by SoulTracks website for album of the year for their Readers Choice Awards.
Thanks for the post, and thanks for sharing.

Request PPE
HCP Q&A
1. Where do the masks come from?
These masks come from an FDA-registered operator (manufacturer) in Guangdong, China. Four weeks ago, I had been sourcing surgical masks at $69.99 per pack of 25 and cloth-based N95s for $44 per piece to freely give away to physicians, senior citizens, and rare disease patients I personally knew.
I did this for the first 2,500 before realizing (1) all the units possessed markings of Chinese-testing/-certification, (2) the N95s were originally KN95s (Vogmask)/considered "counterfeit" under FDA guidelines, and (3) community-level human-human transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes the disease COVID-19) was uncontainable/unavoidable.
I traced the source of manufacturing and followed what companies like Vogmask, Cambridge Mask, and Viral Tech did (I was briefly in touch with Viral Tech's manufacturer, actually) to bring their products to US soil. I wasn't keen on the 5-50x markups of US-sold/Chinese-manufactured masks I was seeing. It was unfair toward Americans, who still need mass quantities pumped into our ecosystem to sustain us through the coronavirus pandemic. At the time I could choose between producing a fabric KN95/N95 mask or a surgical masks; I chose the latter because the cost of personally footing that bill was $4.3 per piece vs. $0.60 per piece (with a minimum order test run of 2400 units). Also it would be easier to get top-down systemic blessing longterm for a new surgical mask design vs. cloth/N95/combination of the two (my longterm forecasts are defined in 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and so on).
2. What is the US view toward foreign-sourced masks?
It's complicated. Although just recently KN95s became recognized as equivalent to N95s, the source can land you in murky waters. China produces the vast majority of the world's supply in masks (as well as the supplies to make them). Tracing is difficult without some sort of global agreement/adoption of blockchain to verify each point of hand-off.
3. Why can't we just manufacture masks here?
I agree that local manufacturing and "bringing PPE production home" is a noble endeavor worth pursuing. You can find my statements on the matter in JAMA (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2763590 and https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2763590). Unfortunately there are a number of blockades that prevent us from simply doing that: (1) every new medical/humanitarian use device maker must go through a process as specified by our rules of governance, (2) most supplies to make PPE are overseas, so for a truly American product you still have to figure out supply chain for PPE-making, (3) I didn't have the luxury of enough time/money to choose the path of most vs. least resistance. My goal was simply to do the right thing—and fast.
4. How effective are DIY masks like those outlined by Deaconess and Providence? Are these PPE too?
DIY masks are not PPE, though they may have some protective qualities (it's unknown but reported to be around 30% equivalent BFE/PFE). Indeed, they're certainly no substitute for social distancing, washing your hands, staying 6 feet apart, etc. Generally fabric face masks are more appropriate for the general public when going out into crowded places—as opposed to widespread medical community adoption. In situations of dire need, the CDC does recommend that DIY masks can be used as a "last resort" medical purpose masks not intended for high fluid barrier protection. These designs can be found at Deaconess and Providence.
5. What's the difference between FDA (EUA) authorization, FDA registration, and CDC-recommended?
FDA emergency use authorization is what the FDA has done in order to hopefully safely lax regulations enough to improve community health outcomes. It's a fine balancing act between making the market a complete free for all (endangering lives) and being too strict (endangering lives). For the most part, EUA guidelines have been issued in lower-risk topics (masks, testing, etc.)—where the benefit of lowing barriers to entry for players is predicted to outweigh the risks.
FDA registration means that the mask-maker has gone through the effort of testing, probably received some regulator-recognized certifications, and meets minimum health and safety requirements according to enforcement/regulation polices of the FDA. For us, during this time of EUA, it was voluntary to undergo registration. However we wanted to have the peace of mind that our masks could in fact effectively help protect our healthcare provider heroes. So we underwent testing and submitted for registration.
CDC recommendations are separate from the FDA. The latter regulates/enforces, while the former gives guidance to a number of stakeholders in the healthcare industry (e.g., state/county public health officials, hospitals, doctors, the general public, and the FDA too). Both work together to protect the health and safety of the community.
6. Are surgical masks appropriate for high liquid barrier protection-demanding conditions?
Not. Well, they do offer some protection. They're certainly not intended for situations of aerosolization exposure.
7. What's BFE and PFE? Does that mean my surgical mask is the same as an N95?
BFE stands for bacterial filtration efficiency. PFE stands for particulate filtration efficiency. Both measurements give an indication of how much germs can pass through either from the wearer to someone else, or from someone else to the wearer. 3M's standard procedure mask offers 95% BFE protection. My patent-pending (USPTO provisional patent registration 29729526) surgical mask went through additional testing to demonstrate a microbial cleanliness of <20CFU/g. It felt personally important to be able to provide science-based peace of mind to healthcare workers of the safety and efficacy of the design.
Note that even though N95s and my masks have similar BFE/PFE stats, this doesn't mean they are close to equal. N95s must undergo testing to prove filtration capabilities (95% or higher) against germs (bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa) of as small as 0.3 microns in size. Surgical masks? They are tested against bad guys between 1 and 5 microns in size. That's a big (small) difference. The size of coronavirus? 0.6 to 1.4 microns in size for virus particles, with the average being 1.2 microns in size (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1563832/ and https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2001017). Note that they're also lipid-enveloped (oily).
8. What is face seal leakage and why is it important to fit test?
You hear a lot about negative pressure rooms/tents/suits because in an ideal world, we'd be able to leverage these precautions of biocontaimnent to control exposure risk. Nothing bad goes in, and we know exactly what's coming out. When you inspect a respirator device, you similarly want to verify localization of a negative pressure environment to ensure it's doing its job.
9. What does this mean?
It means no/as minimal as possible face seal leakage. Health professionals don't want their germs placing extra burden on patients (the sickest ones often suffer from coinfections compounded with their already stacking list of problems associated with COVID-19). They also don't want the patient's germs threatening their own health and safety. Taking precautionary measures to ensure fit (flexible nose piece, sufficient facial area coverage) makes sure as little potentially pathogenic particulates are getting in -- and out. As a side benefit, it will intrinsically help reduce the amount of fogging to glasses/goggles.
10. Does everyone need an N95?
N95s have not been recommended to the general public or even health professionals who arent' in direct contact with COVID-19 patients/are exposed to risk of aerosolization (incubating, invasive mechanical ventilation procedures/etc.).
11. If N95s are so great, why can't I get one?
N95 global supplies are rapidly diminishing as the world's cases tops 1 million. The supplies to make them are also being impacted. The stories you hear about warehouses full of N95s may not have proof of life/existence or may be "fakes" (they'd still work as masks, they're just not the almost mythical N95s).
12. What are the benefits of surgical masks? Of N95 masks?
Both provide protection to the wearer in exposure risk situations. N95s offer some additional benefits in especially situations where the virus may become aerosolized. But again, there are a number of reasons why N95s are not being even recommended for all nurses and physicians to wear.
13. What are the limitations of surgical masks? Of N95 masks?
The virus is small and "oily" (in a sense). It's uncertain if the latter impacts PPE's efficacy. Neither type of mask was intended for extended use or reuse. It's the situation we're in, and we're rapidly evolving our understanding of PPE's ability to withstand significant additional wear while still offering protective benefits. N95s offer greater protection against smaller virus particulates.
14. I heard that nurses and doctors are reusing PPE. Is this safe? Why are they doing it?
They're reusing/wearing masks longer than originally intended because they have to. There's a severe global shortage. Even if 3M, McKesson, Moldex, Makrite, and the other players ramped up production to produce 1 billion masks, we wouldn't have enough. A pandemic indicates rapid, widespread transmission on the community-level -- except on a global level. A small country like Taiwan calculated it needed 43 million masks to flatten its curve. The US is 14 times bigger (so we'd need at least 600 million masks to see us through); as a side, on the whole our country has never had the seasoning of dealing with SARS before.
15. How are you able to promise that every HCP will receive masks who asks for it? Isn't it near impossible to obtain, not to mention expensive?
So far we've been able to meet this mission. And we will continue to push every day/have faith that God (or "universal energy") will provide. There are around 17 million healthcare professionals in this country. At the point in time 100% of our nation's healthcare providers start sending traffic to this site -- we'll still be working as hard as ever to make good on our promise.

Apple's Second Android App Helps Manage Its Beats Pill+ Speaker
By Ketan Pratap | Updated: 30 October 2015 14:10 IST
Apple has released another Android app; though not for Apple Music as is much-anticipated. The Cupertino-based giant has released the Beats Pill+ app for managing its Beats Pill+ Speakers. The app has been released for iOS as well.
The new Beats Pill+ app for Android and iOS is now available to download via Google Play and App Store. The iOS app requires iOS 8.4 or later while the Android app is compatible with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and above. The app will let users control speaker straight from the app. The app offers users the option to connect to Beats Pill+ from two audio sources and keep track of Beats Pill+ battery levels from the app. The app will also offer additional software updates and product support.
To refresh, the Beats Pill+ speaker was unveiled earlier this month and is a wireless Bluetooth speaker. The Beats Pill+ is available at $229.95 (approximately Rs. 15,000) and can be purchased via Apple.com as well as authorised Beats retailers. The Beat Pill+ speaker is the first product launch from Apple after acquiring Beats Electronics last year.
Apple is widely expected to launch Apple Music for Android by this fall. Recently, a bunch of screenshots purported to be of Apple Music for Android were leaked, indicating that the Cupertino-based company may release the app for the Android platform soon.
The leaked screenshots showed the Apple Music app for Android in detail and also claimed that the app may be currently in private beta testing with limited number of users. The Apple Music app for Android app looked to retain much of the design of the iOS app, but brought new design elements for the platform such as the traditional menu access option. This could mean that Apple would try to make its Apple Music Android app look and feel like an iOS app just as Google tries to keep its Material Design alive in its iOS apps.
