Microsoft inadvertently hints at its own iPad keyboard cover
This post is by Engadget RSS Feed from Engadget RSS Feed
You might not have any inclination to buy a Surface Pro tablet if you're an iPad owner, but Microsoft may be happy to sell you the keyboard portion. WinFuture has noticed that Microsoft posted a battery document mentioning an unannounced iPad Touch Cover. The file reveals precious little about the peripheral, but its name harkens back to the Surface Touch Covers that Microsoft used to sell -- the emphasis here would be on thinness over the tactile feel of a Type Cover. The inclusion of a battery and the April timing of the document suggests that it uses Bluetooth and targets the entry-level iPad, although we're not ruling out a Smart Connector attachment for the iPad Pro crowd.

Logitech's iPad Pro keyboard case is relatively affordable
This post is by Jon Fingas from Engadget RSS Feed

Apple's iPad Pro is pricey even before you add in the $169 official keyboard case, but Logitech may have a way to make the whole package a little more palatable. It's now shipping its promised Create Keyboard Case for the gigantic tablet, and the add-on will sell for a slightly more frugal $150. It only works at two angles, but you'll get perks like backlit keys, automatic pairing (thanks to the Smart Connector) and a raft of iOS shortcuts. And if you don't want to turn your iPad into a makeshift laptop, there's an $80 Create Protective case that ditches the keyboard in return for a more flexible stand. Either shell is available in black, blue or red, so you're not stuck with somber colors on your giant slate. Slideshow-340125 Source: Logitech
Typo for iPad Review: Ryan Seacrest's Tablet Keyboard Isn't Half Bad
This post is by from Gizmodo
Oh god here we go again. I'm typing on a Typo again. No, that's not a typo—it's the name of a keyboard. A keyboard attached to an iPad. I'm writing this whole review on an iPad keyboard case because I don't have any damn sense. Except, uh, it's actually not half-bad? My brain is exploding.
Apple cracks down on accessory makers to discourage leaks
Follow the Apple rumor cycle and you'll notice that accessory makers play an important role in leaks -- some of them "borrow" factory blueprints to produce cases and other add-ons for iPhones and iPads that are still weeks away from launch. Well, the crew at 1 Infinite Loop is apparently fed up with these companies spoiling the surprise. Sources for 9to5Mac claim that Apple made key accessory producers sign agreements preventing them from getting design details from anyone besides Apple itself. If the firms give into the temptation and ship leak-based products, Apple warns of "penalties" that could include refusing to stock the offending goods at its stores.

RAVPower 15W Solar Charger, Savior battery pack keep your gadgets going
This post is by from TUAW: Apple news, reviews and how-tos since 2004
We're in the midst of winter in the Northern Hemisphere right now, but that doesn't mean that you can't start making plans for summer fun in the great outdoors. Today I'm reviewing two products that will keep your gizmos going. The first is designed to let you charge up anywhere, as long as the sun's out: the RAVPower 15W Dual-Port Solar Charger (List price US$99.99, available for $56.99). The second is targeted more for day-to-day use: the RAVPower RP-PB18 Savior External Battery Pack ($99.99, available for $49.99).
RAVPower 15W Dual-Port Solar Charger
I'm a fan of photovoltaic solar energy, so much so that my house here in sunny Colorado has a 9 kilowatt array on the roof. The RAVPower 15W Dual-Port Solar Charger is a lot smaller, both in size and capacity, but you don't need all that much power to charge your devices. The design is wonderful. You have a 24 ounce fabric folio covered with polyester canvas on the exterior that folds out revealing three separate panels. Located at four locations around the folio are metal-line eyeholes; these are used with carabiners (four are included) to attach the array to your backpack or a tent, or hang it from tree branches. There are two USB ports available, one with a 2A output, the other with a 1A output. Both, of course, send out that current at the USB standard 5 volts. RAVPower uses what they call "iSmart Technology" to match the maximum charging current with the device so that it is charged in the least amount of time.

Pencil by FiftyThree stylus shows up in Apple online and retail stores
FiftyThree, the company that developed the wonderful Paper drawing/painting app (free with in-app purchases), also created a companion stylus that they naturally gave the name Pencil to. The stylus, which looks like a carpenter's pencil but has some amazing technology built into it, sells for US$49.95 for a graphite version and $59.95 in a beautiful walnut version. Up until now, Pencil was only available through the FiftyThree website and on Amazon, but the company has announced that the stylish and versatile Pencil is now available at the brick-and-mortar and online Apple Stores.
TUAW will be reviewing Pencil by FiftyThree in the near future; in the meanwhile you can check out the details of the cool piece of hardware here. What I want to try the most is the adaptive palm rejection, which allows your palm or other bits of your hand to be resting on the screen while drawing or writing. Other stylus manufacturers have tried -- and most have failed -- to produce workable palm rejection, so we'll be sure to put it to the test.

Booqpad gains iPad Air 2 compatibility, still has a magnetic personality
Last April, TUAW reviews a very unique iPad Air case - the Booq Booqpad - that melded a magnetically-attached agenda case with a paper notepad. At the time it garnered a 4-star rating thanks to its flexibility and that paper notepad. Today I'm looking at the BooqPad for iPad Air 2 (US$60.00) and we'll see if that changed. Specifications
Exterior dimensions: 7 x 9.5 x 0.9 inches (178 x 242 x 24 mm)
Weight: 0.88 lbs (0.4 kg)
Compatible with: iPad Air 2 only
Color: Gray only
Comes with removable/replaceable 50-sheet paper notepad
Design Like the previous iteration of the Booqpad, the new version consists of a slim folio that, when opened, features a paper notepad on the left side and a magnetically-attached tray for the iPad on the right side. A slender magnetic catch keeps the cover closed while you're in transit. Around the outside of the paper notepad side are slots for business cards, and you can get refills for your notepad in blank, lined, or graph paper formats ($10 for 3 pads).

Test driving the ClamCase Pro keyboard case for iPad Air 2 (Updated)
With the arrival of the iPad Air 2 last fall, many case manufacturers went back to the drawing board to produce new products that would accommodate the slightly thinner tablet. One of the favorite keyboard cases for those of us here at TUAW has always been the ClamCase Pro (US$169.00), and that case has recently been updated for the latest member of the iPad family. Specifications
Dimensions: 9.74 x 7.30 x 0.74 inches (247.4 x 185.4 x 18.8 mm)
Weight: 1.2 lbs (.544 kg)
Battery life: 100 hours uninterrupted use time, 6 months standby time, recharges in 120 minutes

Mountie: An inexpensive and innovative way to attach iPhone or iPad to your Mac
One new product that will certainly be making a fun splash at CES this week is from Ten One Design, the same company that brought Apple fans such fun things as the Magnus Air and Magnus mini iPad stands, the Pogo and Pogo Connect styluses. Next month they'll be shipping a new item that you can pre-order now, the US$24.95 Mountie. What's the idea behind Mountie? It uses a strong rubberized grip and swappable inserts that provide a way for you to attach any iPhone after the iPhone 4, the iPad Air 1/2 or the iPad mini to any MacBook or post-2012 iMac. It comes in two colors, neither of which you'll actually see while using the device - blue and green.
You can then use your "second screen" to do a lot of different things. Use Mountie to take a break from work by watching a movie or your favorite show on an attached iPad, have your iPhone cranking out music while you're blogging, or even use an app like Duet Display to turn your iPhone or iPad into a second Mac display. Mountie looks like a useful product and the price is right on the money. Rather than taking up valuable desk space with a traditional stand for your iPhone or iPad, you can just stick it to the side of your MacBook or iMac in seconds. We will be reviewing Mountie within the next week or two, so stay tuned to TUAW. Oh, and if you happen to be in Las Vegas for the CES craziness, visit the Ten One Design folks at North Hall 6523.

Limefuel Dual Port USB 4.8A Wall Charger: Tiny and powerful
Another day, another great product from Limefuel. Yesterday we took a look at the company's big-capacity Blast L240X Pro external battery pack, and today we're looking at something that's quite a bit smaller, yet still packs a lot of power - the Dual Port USB 4.8A Wall Charger (US$16.99). The idea behind this little powerhouse is to give you not one, but two 2.4A USB ports in one easily transportable little box. Instead of filling up your house or hotel room with multiple single port Apple power cubes, all with their nasty pointy prongs sticking out, you can hook two of your favorite Apple toys up per wall outlet. When you're done, the prongs fold away to avoid scratching your other electronic gear.
With 24W of power and 2.4A of current per port, your devices will charge quickly. You can use your existing charging cables with the device, which measures just 2 x 2 x 1.1 inches (50.8 x 50.8 x 27.9 mm) and weighs a featherweight 2.7 ounces (76.

Belkin Qode Ultimate Pro Keyboard Case for iPad Air 2: Review and giveaway
The transformation of the iPad Air into the iPad Air 2 forced case manufacturers to go back to the drawing board, but that's not always a bad thing. With each iteration of case, the product usually gets better. That's the situation with Belkin's Qode Ultimate Pro Keyboard Case for iPad Air 2 (US$149.99), which has emerged from a redesign truly deserving of the name "Ultimate Pro". Let's take a look, then enter for an opportunity to win a Qode Ultimate Pro Keyboard Case for your iPad Air 2. Specifications
Dimensions: 9.72 x 7.09 x .71 inches(24.7 x 18 x 1.8 cm)
Weight: 17.28 ounces (490 grams)
Bluetooth Pairing: Bluetooth Smart pairing with up to 2 devices
Battery Life: Up to one year
Design The Qode Ultimate Pro looks like a pretty standard iPad keyboard case until you examine it closely. The iPad Air 2 is encased in a polycarbonate shell (white or black) for protection, and that shell can be removed from the keyboard by simply pulling the iPad away - magnets hold the two together. Bring the iPad Air 2 back in the vicinity of the "hinge" and they stick together, either in landscape or portrait orientation. The magnets that are built into the iPad Air 2 are used to keep the tablet in one of several positions. The keyboard/screen protector is made of aluminum, and there are rubber "feet" that keep the keys from touching the iPad screen. Inside the case is a battery that's designed to give you almost a year between charges in normal usage.
One thing that I was happy to see is that there is no power switch on the keyboard as it's designed to turn on and off automatically. This seems to be a feature that is becoming common with the better keyboard cases on the market. The keyboard has all of the keys in the traditional locations, but does not use a separate row for the iPad function keys - instead, those keys share space with the number key row. The caps lock and tab keys are rather small and may be an issue for some users. The keyboard is backlit, with three possible brightness settings. I found the feel of the keyboard to be acceptable, but a bit more "springy" than other keyboards with less of a positive feedback. As with all keyboards, you may wish to try out the Qode Ultimate Pro for yourself prior to purchase since everyone has their own take on what the "perfect" keyboard feels like. Functionality Unfortunately, I don't have an iPad Air 2 nor is my employer going to purchase one for me, so I had to do all of my testing with an ancient, fat and heavy iPad Air. The Qode Ultimate Pro Case can be used as a standalone Bluetooth keyboard simply by removing the device, then folding the "hinge" flap under the keyboard. That made it quite easy to try out the keyboard with my original iPad Air. One thing I find interesting is that if you decide you don't need to use the keyboard and you happen to have an Apple Smart Cover, you can pull the keyboard off and replace it with the Smart Cover.
I like the fact that the case can be used in either portrait or landscape orientation. I've often thought that writing in apps like Pages or Microsoft Word for iPad in portrait mode would be much more "natural looking". The Ultimate Pro Keyboard Case is a bit heavier than other keyboard cases for the iPad Air, so if carrying a few more ounces is an issue for you, it might be a good idea to look into some of our other keyboard case reviews to find a lighter model. The dual pairing feature is definitely a nifty idea - I found it fun to switch between iPad Air and iPhone 6 Plus with the push of the function key and one of two Bluetooth keys. Conclusion The Belkin Qode Ultimate Pro Keyboard Case for iPad Air 2 provides amazing battery life, dual device Bluetooth pairing, the ability to type in either landscape or portrait orientation, and backlit keys. It's a bit heavy, though, so those who are concerned about carrying extra ounces might want to peruse other keyboard cases before buying. Small caps lock and tab keys may also be an issue for some users. Rating: 3 stars out of 4 stars possible

XVIDA iPhone/iPad accessories have a magnetic personality
A little over a year ago I did a review of the XVIDA Boomerang, an iPad stand/mount project that graduated from Kickstarter and went into full production. Now the company that spawned the Boomerang has an entire family of accessories, all of which use strong magnets to mount your iPhone, iPad or just about anything else in your life wherever you need them. Today I'm looking at three of the XVIDA accessories: the iPad Air/iPad Air 2 version of the Boomerang (US$79.99, currently on sale for $59.99), the iPhone 5/5s version of the StickyCase ($24.99), and the accessory Air Vent Mount ($19.99).
Boomerang for iPad Air/iPad Air 2
While the Boomerang kit I tested for this review was designed for the iPad Air, XVIDA now includes a small converter that makes it fully compatible with the iPad Air 2. Note that the converter is not included in our giveaway prize kit. Like the original Boomerang, the new model is an X-shaped device that can be used to prop your iPad up at a 22°, 45° or 66° inclination. Lay that X-shape out flat and snap the two free ends around the corners of your iPad Air, and you'll notice a metal plate in the center - right over the Apple logo on the back of your device.
That metal plate attaches magnetically to the included Multi-Mount. The Multi-Mount itself can be mounted on metallic surfaces via magnetism, things like refrigerators and many whiteboards. It can also be attached to walls, glass, or ceramic with the included 3M VHB adhesive sticker. Or if you're looking for a more permanent installation, just use a screw to attach the Multi-Mount to a wall stud or furniture. That same plate also works with the other available mounting accessories, including the Air Vent Mount, a Suction Cup Mount, a Headrest Mount, and even the iMac-like Desk Stand. Installing the Boomerang is fast and easy. The iPad Air slides into a set of clips that is marked with a "1" sticker. To use the Boomerang with the magnetic mounts, you put the other corners of the iPad AIr into the two other clips marked "2". To use the Boomerang as a standalone stand, you pop the "2" corners out and then flip the free legs out to the pre-set angles. Use the Boomerang with the Air Vent or Suction Cup mounts, and you have a way of using an iPad Air as a really big navigation aid. I'm not sure I'd recommend putting a full-sized iPad into the windshield area of a car, though - that's an awfully large space to block in your field of view. Conclusion The Boomerang for iPad Air/iPad Air 2 looks good, is incredibly thin, very lightweight, and installs/removes quickly. It's easily adjustable, works with a number of mounts, and has a fairly decent price point (especially when on sale). On the negative side, the Boomerang doesn't offer any protection for your iPad. Rating: 3-1/2 stars out of 4 stars possible
StickyCase for iPhone 5/5s
The StickyCase for iPhone 5/5s ($24.99) is what brings your iPhone into the XVIDA ecosystem. Before I go any further, please note that you can pre-order this case for the iPhone 6 for delivery next month. However, there's no word about one for the iPhone 6 Plus. That's really not an issue, since if you already have a case for your Plus, all you need to do is buy a $17.99 StickyPad for Smartphones and you're ready to rock and roll.
This case really isn't all that special in terms of looks. It's a matte black (or white) case with one very special feature - a covered metal plate in the back that serves to stick it to any of the magnetic mounts. If you have a Multi-Mount, the windshield-mounted Suction Mount for Smartphones ($19.99), or that ever-popular Air Vent mount I'll review next, you just slap the encased iPhone 5 or 5s up against the magnet and it sticks. Conclusion The StickyCase for iPhone 5/5s gets bonus points for mounting flexibility, but it's really kind of drab. If you already have a more colorful or more protective case that you've installed on your iPhone, just get one of those StickyPads and stick it to the back of the case. That way you get the best of both worlds. Rating: 2-1/2 stars out of 4 stars possible
Air Vent Mount
I've talked about this accessory several times already. For $20, you're getting a mount that installs into an air vent in your car, has a pivoting head, and features the XVIDA magnetic mount. Take any of the cases or stands - the StickyCase, the Boomerang, or even a regular case with a StickyPad on the back - and you have a way of mounting your iPhone or iPad so that it's clearly visible from the front seat of the car (don't look at it while driving!). The Air Vent Mount features a spring-loaded arm that goes through one of the vents and has a metal hook that grabs the back of the vent slat. On the front is a rounded piece that fits into a slot on the back of a piece that includes the mount, a lockable ball joint, and a few stabilizer arms. It's quite easy to install and feels sturdy.
Of course, when you want to use either a StickyCase or a Boomerang with it, you just take their built-in metal plate and bring it near the mag mount, and magnetism takes care of the rest. The Air Vent Mount holds even a full-sized iPad Air in place with very little movement, and it works really well with an iPhone. Conclusion For mounting an iOS device in your car, the Air Vent Mount is an adjustable and versatile piece of equipment. The price is right, and it feels like it will last.

Logitech's AnyAngle case: Just the angle you want for iPad Air 2, iPad mini
Logitech continues to outpace most accessory manufacturers in coming out with a variety of very useful products for the iPad. Today's announcement is for a very adjustable iPad case for the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini called the AnyAngle (US$59.99). As you can see in the video below, AnyAngle uses a unique hinge mechanism to adjust to, well, just about any angle.
I can see the AnyAngle being a good companion to Logitech's recently-released Keys-To-Go Bluetooth Keyboard, a standalone keyboard equipped with Logitech's splashproof FabricSkin. It's the perfect combo for people who want to use a keyboard with their iPads, but don't necessarily want that keyboard to be attached to the tablet. AnyAngle comes in a variety of colors - Black, Red/Blue, Violet, Grey, Teal, and Yellow. We hope to have a review item in hand soon.

Drop Kitchen Connected Scale drops just in time for your holiday baking
So, you've got to bake a few dozen Christmas cookies for your little girl's robotics club, but you have absolutely no idea how to cook ... or even how to measure ingredients. Never fear -- the Drop Kitchen Connected Scale (US$99.99) and its associated free recipe app are going to turn you into a baking pro.
As you can see from the snappy video above, the idea behind Drop is to turn anyone -- with an iPad running iOS 8.0 or later and some common kitchen tools -- into an expert baker. Drop can weigh anything from 6 kg down to less than a single gram, and uses interactive recipes to help you have success in the kitchen. You just pour ingredients into a bowl on the scale until you reach the correct amount, stir or blend, pour into a cake or loaf pan, then let the app tell you when to take the masterpiece out of the oven. What if you don't have enough flour or you've run out of milk? Not a problem, as the app can help you find substitutions that will work and can also scale the other ingredients so that you can still make at least part of a batch of cookies out of that remaining flour. The recipes are designed to be mixed in a single bowl for less cleanup, and there's even a social sharing aspect to the app for bragging about your latest kitchen success. Drop uses Bluetooth LE to talk to your iPad or iPad mini, and the battery should last up to a year of normal use. Drop is available for ordering online today, but the device will be available soon at Apple Stores in the US, Canada, and the UK. You can also purchase Drop online from Apple.com, Brit+Co, Food52, and Harvey Norman stores in Ireland.

Nodus Access Cases for iPhone and iPad are stylish and useful
Back in late 2013, one of our former UK bloggers (Richard Gaywood) wrote a review of an iPhone case from The Nodus Collection. At that time, the Access Case was part of a Kickstarter campaign; now the company is selling the cases through its website. Recently I received both an iPhone 6 Plus Access Case (pre-order for £49.99, price includes international shipping) and an iPad Air Access Case (£99.99, price includes international shipping) for review, so I thought it was a perfect time to take a look at these thin, light and stylish cases again. Check out the review, and then take a chance at winning one of these cases for yourself. Design As Richard pointed out in his earlier review, the Access Case uses micro-suction technology to both attach the device to the case and to keep the cover closed. The material used holds onto your iPhone or iPad tightly, but releases with a sharp pull if you need to take the case off.
Both cases are made of a nicely-finished leather in either ebony (black) or chestnut (brown). The two samples we received were both chestnut and really looked good with very fine stitching around the edges. As with most folio/wallet cases of this type, the Access Case can be used as a stand to hold your device in landscape orientation, as a wallet (it has a full-length pocket for cards or bills), and of course as a protective cover for your device.
The top, bottom, and right side of the iPhone and iPad are left open, making it easy to plug the devices in for recharging. There's also the requisite opening for the iPhone camera and flash on the iPhone case, and the smaller hole for the iPad camera on that case. Functionality The cases look great, but do they do their job? From my limited testing, the answer is an unqualified "yes". Both cases hold their respective devices in place firmly with the micro-suction material. Both protect the screen and back of the iPhone or iPad. Both work well as wallets. All in all, they do what they're supposed to do. Removing the devices from the micro-suction material was easy, and the material is easily cleanable if it collects dust or other debris. Conclusion The Access Cases for iPad Air and iPhone 6 Plus look good, although they're rather plain. If you want a nice leather case without frills, this is probably going to make you happy. However, both cases come with a price tag that seems unreasonably high considering that there are similar micro-suction leather cases for much less that the £49.99 (US$79.35 at current exchange rates) price for the iPhone 6 Plus case or the £99.99 ($158.71) iPad Air case. A good example is the recently-reviewed Twelve South SurfacePad, which sells for $49.99 for the iPhone 6 Plus version and $79.99 for the iPad Air edition. Rating: 3 stars out of 4 stars possible
If the price tag on the Nodus Access Cases depresses you, cheer up -- you might win one in our giveaway.

Logitech updates Type+, Ultrathin keyboards for iPad Air 2, intros new standalone keyboard
Logitech quickly updated its Type+ and Ultrathin Bluetooth keyboards for the new iPad Air 2, and has also announced a new standalone keyboard for any and all iOS devices — the US$69.99 Keys-To-Go (see image above).
The Keys-To-Go uses Logitech's spill-resistant FabricSkin keyboard in a rechargeable unit that can be used with your iPad, iPhone, or even your Apple TV. Keys-To-Go weighs just 6.35 ounces (180 grams) and is less than a quarter-inch (6 mm) thick, making it an easy-to-carry accessory that can always be with you. It comes in black, red and electric blue.
The Type+ for iPad Air 2 ($99.99, image below) has been made even more slender to accommodate the newest iPad Air and will come in a variety of colors: black, dark blue, bright green, violet, black synthetic and electric blue synthetic.
Fans of the Logitech Ultrathin will find the new Ultrathin Bluetooth keyboard for iPad Air 2 ($89.99) to be just what they want for the new iPad Air. It comes in silver and space gray, and uses the same magnetic clip-on design as the previous versions.
All of the keyboards are available for pre-order today.

Fujitsu ScanSnap iX100 Delivers Best In Class Mobile Scanning

Fujitsu and its award-winning ScanSnap line have been making strides in the paperless movement for years now and aim to slingshot that movement with the brand-new ScanSnap iX100.
Key Features of the iX100

Upon receiving the ScanSnap iX100 I immediately tore into the box and was pleasantly surprised by the extremely compact size of the device. Measuring in at a svelte 10.74 x 1.87 x 1.42 inches and weighing just a hair over 14 ounces, this scanner is small. Construction seemed pretty sturdy and up to par with previous Fujitsu ScanSnap products. In the box was the scanner, a USB cable, Setup DVD and documentation.
Setup for Mobile Scanning
I wanted the test the "no PC needed" mode of the iX100 and decided to do a mobile only setup first. Getting the scanner to work with my iPhone and iPad were amazingly easy. Initially I installed the ScanSnap Connect Application and launched it.
To power on the iX100, the paper feed door is opened; to activate the Direct Connect mode there is a small WiFi toggle switch on the back of the scanner. Within a few seconds the scanner was ready to go and was emitting a private WiFi SSID that my iPhone and iPad were able to connect to via the standard iOS WiFi settings menu. Login information for this private WiFi network is found on the bottom of the scanner.
Returning to the ScanSnap Connect Application, I saw that the scanner was discovered, connected and ready to scan. Having recently returned from a business training trip, I had a pretty nice stack of business cards, flyers and receipts I wanted to capture. With a quick press of the scan button on the app, the scanner woke up and started to purr.
The Dual Scan mode of the iX100 meant I was able to feed business cards into the scanner one after another without pause and from any position on the paper feed -- even without waiting for the previous card to completely exit the flat path. The continuous document feed (CDF} saves time by allowing the user to keep feeding documents to the scanner, letting the Auto Deskew, Auto Orientation, Auto Color and Auto Paper Size Detection features do the work.
The Secret Sauce
Fujitsu's custom GI Processor is amazingly fast at intelligently making all the adjustments and corrections that have plagued scanners up until now. Gone are the days of trash and rescans and manual image manipulation after scanning a pile of documents.
The small footprint of the iX100 means it is a simplex scanner, but don't let that sway you if you're used to duplex scanners. This scanner is so fast with its continuous document feed mode that you can scan a page, flip it over, scan the second side and auto-process the documents faster than most competing duplex scanners. Another amazing feature of the iX100 is the Automatic Image Stitching. If some sales person hands you a letter sized folded brochure with an image that crosses the centerfold, simply fold the pages backwards and scan both sides -- the iX100 automatically stitches the pages back together.
The iX100 battery lasts surprisingly long when you consider the speed, power and compact footprint of the scanner. I was able to tote the scanner around in my bag for about a week on a single charge doing causal scanning of business cards and handouts at meetings (watching jaws drop on clients was secretly pleasurable). According to Fujitsu, the iX100 can continuously scan about 260 sheets on a single charge and about 140-160 per charge for normal casual operation. My favorite part about this mobile scanner is that it can be charged by a standard USB to 6micro-USB cable. No special adaptors or power supplies are needed. This is very convenient, as most users already carry such a cable in their go bags.
Back at the Desk
This superstar mobile scanner, believe it or not, is full of even more surprises once it meets the home or office WiFi network. Once back at my desk, I installed the ScanSnap Manager software on my Mac and fired off the ScanSnap Wireless Setup Tool which made setup a piece of cake via the WPS button on the scanner.
Typical of Fujitsu, the ScanSnap iX100 comes with some pretty powerful yet easy to use bundled software.
The iX100 ships with:
ScanSnap Organizer - search, view, edit, organize scans
CardMinder - captures and OCR business cards, merges duplex cards
ScanSnap Receipt - scans and extracts pertinent information off of receipts
Abby FineReader for ScanSnap - OCR package that allows direct scanning and conversion to Microsoft Office apps like Word, Excel and PowerPoint
ScanSnap Manager - Profile manager that allows one button scanning to folder(s), email, PDF, Dropbox, Evernote, Google Docs, Salesforce and more
Continuing to process the expense reports from my trip, I fed the iX100 about 15 receipts. ScanSnap Receipt quickly processed all the stubs and through some wicked voodoo plucked data off of the receipt and filled a ledger with information including Vendor, Amounts, Payment Type, Card suffix and more. Thanks to the iX100, tax season this year may be tolerable.
Scanning items directly to my favorite cloud apps was a huge time saver from the old AppleScript processing I have doing for years. Again, the iX100 GI processor made the process fast and seamless.
I found ScanSnap Organizer very powerful and easy to use; however, in the end it was not for me as my workflow is to scan directly to Evernote. In the frenzy of overzealous button pressing, I inadvertently scanned a few receipts into the organizer while testing. Just before I expunged the mistakes ready to start all over, I tried to drag and drop the mistakes from ScanSnap Organizer to ScanSnap Receipts. Amazingly this action worked -- the misfiled items were imported into the appropriate place and were auto-processed as if they had been scanned correctly.
The Fujitsu ScanSnap iX100 does exactly what it says, delivering high quality scans quickly regardless of whether you are at the office or on the road. Up until now, CIS Scanners (contact image scanners) were mostly low quality, cheap scanners designed as a stopgap for road warriors wanting to capture data on the move. The iX100 seems to have ironed out all of the kinks in mobile scanning. It is light, easy to carry, fun to use and is feature packed. I can honestly say that I don't know how I managed to work thus far without an iX100.
The ScanSnap iX100 is available today for US$229.

Beautifully crafted Desktop Chair v2 has your iPad sitting pretty
There are a lot of ways to prop your iPad up without holding it in your hands. For example, just the other day we looked at the Ten One Design Magnus Air. Our iPad stand du jour is the Desktop Chair v2 (US$59.99), a design that was funded through Japan's Campfire crowdfunding site. It's now available for sale in the US from BiteMyApple.co, and they sent one along to TUAW for review and a giveaway. While the Magnus Air was tiny and unobtrusive, the Desktop Chair is designed to be a gorgeous piece of furniture. It's crafted of thin wood sheets that are bonded together perpendicularly for strength with a hydraulic press, then hand-sanded to a silky finish. The Desktop Chair can sit in one of two positions, each holding your iPad in either landscape or portrait orientation. The BiteMyApple.co web store even shows the Desktop Chair being used as a vertical prop for a MacBook Pro, so there are many uses for this accessory. I found that the Desktop Chair worked well with either a full-sized iPad or iPad mini, and it would probably make a good investment regardless of what type of tablet you may use in the future. It's rock-solid on a desk or table, surprisingly so considering that it weighs only 4.3 ounces (122 grams). Design-wise, the Desktop Chair looks like a piece of modern sculpture, which says a lot for the designers at Moku Woodware in Japan. It may be a bit too early to start thinking about holiday gifts for friends and family, but the Desktop Chair is such a unique and beautiful iPad stand that you may want to consider it for a gift. Conclusion Organic in form and materials, the Desktop Chair v2 is a useful and attractive addition to any desktop. In a market filled with many mass-produced product that just don't work that well, the Desktop Chair brings a touch of class to iPad stands. Rating: 4 stars out of 4 stars possible.
Our review Desktop Chair can be yours, but only if you enter our giveaway and happen to win. Here are the rules for the giveaway:
The entry must be made before August 23, 2014 11:59PM Eastern Daylight Time.
One winner will be selected in a random drawing and will receive a Desktop Chair valued at $59.99

Ten One Design Magnus Air: All iPad Air stand, no bulk
When an accessory PR rep says she's going to send me an iPad Air stand, I usually expect to receive a heavy package in the mail a few days later. That's why the new Ten One Design Magnus Air (US$39.95) surprised me so much when it showed up in a small padded envelope. Ten One Design touts the Magnus Air as a low-profile designer stand, but how does something with this little weight prop up an iPad Air? Read on to find out the secret to the Magnus Air. Specifications
DImensions: Approximately 5.75" wide x 2.75" deep x 1" tall (146 x 69.85 x 35.4 mm)
Viewing angle: 22 degrees
Weight: 1.8 ounces (51 grams)
Design Highlights OK, the secret to the Magnus Air is magnets. Really powerful magnets. You just place the Magnus Air near the left side of the iPad Air and it sticks to it like glue. Now you can flop the iPad Air onto its side and it is held in landscape orientation at a very comfortable viewing angle. By building those powerful magnets into the Magnus Air, sticking the stand onto an iPad Air is like gluing a leg onto it. The stand isn't going to move, and if you need something to prop up your iPad Air that adds just a hint of weight, the Magnus Air is for you. The bottom of the stand is covered with a non-slip material, so the iPad Air and stand are going to stay put on a table, too. Functionality Highlights Ten One Design's Magnus Air is designed to do one thing -- hold an iPad Air at a comfortable viewing angle in landscape orientation -- and it does that task perfectly. The Magnus Air is minimalism at its finest, adding functionality without being ostentatious or weighting down your backpack or briefcase. I found the stand to be extremely useful in the kitchen. The 22° angle is perfect for viewing recipes while cooking, and the non-slip base ensured that I was going to be able to tap and swipe the iPad Air without having to chase it around my countertops. One added touch to the Magnus Air over earlier versions of the Magnus stand is that you can also easily flip your iPad Air over to have it propped up in a very comfortable typing position. This horizontal option is great for people who like to use the virtual keyboard of the iPad Air. Any gripes about the Magnus Air? Sure, I wish it was less expensive so more people would be tempted to pick one up. You can order 'em on the Ten One Design website, and they'll be in your local Apple Store soon. Conclusion Ten One Design's Magnus Air is a handy little accessory for anyone who owns an iPad Air and would like to be able to use it hands-free. It adds a ton of functionality to your favorite tablet without weighing you down. Rating: 4 stars out of 4 stars possible

Moshi's IonBank 5K with Lightning Connector: No need to carry cables
With literally hundreds of iPhone/iPad battery packs available, it takes something special to get this reviewer excited. Moshi's IonBank 5K with Lightning Connector (US$88.95) has enough power stored up to give your iPhone 5 a few full charges, and it does it all without you having to lug around a tangle of cables. Let's take a look. Specifications
Dimensions: 4.76 x 2.68 x 0.83 inches (12.1 x 6.8 x 2.1 cm)
Weight: 7.19 ounces (204 grams)
Cables: Integrated Lightning cable, integrated USB charging cable, plus one open USB port
Capacity: 5,000 mAh
Design Highlights Although there are the oddball external battery packs that are shaped like cylinders, most of them follow the tried-and-true design meme of "rectangular box with curved corners." That's what the IonBank 5K looks like. It has an anodized aluminum top and bottom, while the rest of the pack is made of white polycarbonate. The big thing that's different about the IonBank 5K is that the two frequently-used cables -- one for charging your iPhone and the other for recharging the IonBank -- are integrated into the case. Slide the top of the case (with the Moshi logo) to one side to reveal the USB charging cable. When the IonBank 5K is fully charged and you want to top off your iPhone, slide the bottom of the case to one side to reveal the Lightning charging cable. There are four white LEDs on one side to provide an indication of how much charge is left, and a single button is used to both reveal the battery level and start charging your iPhone. If you have another non-LIghtning device you wish to charge, there's an open USB port ready to accept a cable. Functional Highlights Although the IonBank 5K is a bit "chunkier" than other 5,000 mAh external battery packs I've tested, the Moshi product's integrated connectors get the thumbs-up from me. The IonBank is MFi-certified, and worked flawlessly recharging a pair of iPhones in our home. The IonBank also comes in a 10,000 mAh version ($109.95) that would be more useful with an iPad. While that version doesn't come with an integrated Lightning cable, it does have a travel case into which you can slip both the battery pack and a separate cable. It also comes with two open USB ports. Conclusion My only concern about the IonBank 5K with Lightning Connector is that it is rather expensive. There are a number of battery packs available on the market with three times the capacity at half the price. But if you're looking for a convenient external battery pack that can solve the usual "where are my cables" quandary, the Moshi IonBank 5K is going to be your best bet. Rating: 3 stars out of 4 stars possible

Die Theorie der hohlen Erde ist eine überholte wissenschaftliche Theorie aus dem 17. Jahrhundert von Edmond Halley. Ihr zufolge wäre die Erde aus konzentrischen Kugeln aufgebaut, mit Atmosphären dazwischen und sonnenartiger Beleuchtung, wodurch auch die inneren Sphären habitabel seien. Obwohl wissenschaftlich durch neuere Erkenntnisse widerlegt und verworfen, entwickelte sich die Theorie der hohlen Erde, wie auch die Idee eines Innenweltkosmos, zum Gegenstand pseudowissenschaftlicher und verschwörungstheoretischer Mutmaßungen und zu einem beliebten Motiv in fantastischer Literatur.

Geschichte

Seit Menschengedenken gibt es mythische Vorstellungen darüber, was sich im Erdinneren befinden könnte. Aus vielen Kulturen sind Erzählungen bekannt, die fantasiebasierte Beschreibungen geben und sagenhafte Unterwelten schildern. Dem gegenüber begannen im 17. Jahrhundert die sich entwickelnden modernen Naturwissenschaften ein faktenbasiertes Bild über das unzugängliche Innere der Erde zu erarbeiten.

Der englische Naturwissenschaftler Edmond Halley stellte im November 1691 in einem Vortrag vor der Royal Society in London erstmals eine neuartige wissenschaftliche Hypothese zur physikalischen Beschaffenheit der Erde vor, die er mithilfe von Erkenntnissen aus der Gravitationstheorie und der darauf aufbauenden Theorie der Tiden von Isaac Newton entwickelt hatte. Der Anlass war, dass Kompassnadeln an einem gegebenen Ort nicht immer die gleiche Richtung anzeigten, sondern verschiedene und sich mit der Zeit verändernde Richtungen, wie es im Laufe von mehr als hundert Jahren immer wieder beobachtet worden war. Er hatte schon Jahre vorher die Verteilung und säkulare Veränderung des geomagnetischen Feldes als Resultat einer komplizierten Überlagerung von mehreren sich bewegenden Magnetpolen erklärt, aber wie das in der damals als fest angenommenen Materie des Erdinneren funktionieren sollte, konnte er bis dahin nicht zufriedenstellend begründen.

Halley stand in engem Kontakt zu Isaac Newton und animierte ihn, seine bahnbrechenden Forschungsergebnisse zur Himmelsmechanik zu veröffentlichen, die dieser dann unter dem Titel Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica verfasste. Halley unterstützte Newton dabei, indem er das Manuskript für die Royal Society begutachtete, den Druck finanzierte und wahrscheinlich auch bei den darin enthaltenen Berechnungen half. Newtons Berechnungen hatten ergeben, dass sich die Dichte des Mondes zur Dichte der Erde wie 680 zu 387 oder zirka 9 zu 5 verhält. Halley argumentierte, dass unter der vernünftigen Annahme, dass beide Körper aus den gleichen Materialien zusammengesetzt wären, daraus zu schließen sei, dass vier Neuntel des Erdglobus aus Hohlraum bestehen müssten.

Mit dieser Erkenntnis modellierte er ein Bild vom Erdinneren aus vier ineinander steckenden, konzentrisch angeordneten Kugeln mit Hohlräumen dazwischen. Der äußeren Schale mit der Erdoberfläche und dem damals bekannten Durchmesser von rund 8000 Englische Meilen (ca. 12.800 km) gab er eine Mächtigkeit von etwa 500 Meilen (ca. 800 km). Darunter befände sich ein Luftzwischenraum von gleicher Größe. Die Durchmesser der drei inneren Sphären seien annähernd proportional zu den Größen der Planeten Venus, Mars und Merkur. Die beiden inneren Hohlkugeln hätten ebenfalls eine Stärke von je 500 Meilen, wie auch die übrigen Zwischenräume. Die innerste Kugel sei solide mit einem Durchmesser von 2000 Meilen (ca. 3200 km). Einmal auf ihrem Platz befindlich, würden die Sphären von der Gravitation für immer in einem gemeinsamen Zentrum festgehalten und sie drehten sich um eine gemeinsame Rotationsachse. Jeder dieser Körper hätte eigene Magnetpole und dadurch, dass sie sich verschieden schnell um die Achse drehten, ergebe sich auf der Erdoberfläche die beobachtete Bewegung der magnetischen Pole.

Die Ausgestaltung seines Modells der konzentrischen Spären erfolgte bis hierhin mathematisch und naturgesetzlich begründet, auf der Basis von nachvollziehbaren Beobachtungen und damals plausiblen Annahmen. Doch dann erweiterte er das Modell um eine rein spekulative Komponente. Wie er selbst schrieb, ließ er sich auf das Abenteuer ein, die unterirdischen Kugeln bewohnbar zu machen, genauso wie es zu seiner Zeit mit einiger Bestimmtheit für alle Planeten vermutet wurde. Die Beleuchtung erfolge durch Substanzen, die sich an den Hohlbögen befänden und die die gleichen wie auf der Sonne seien.

Halley veröffentlichte seinen Vortrag und die Theorie der konzentrischen Sphären in einem 1692 erschienenen Artikel in den Philosophical Transactions der Royal Society. Dieser wurde während der ersten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts mehrfach in einer Zusammenfassung neu aufgelegt, sodass seine Ideen vielen Menschen bekannt wurden. Seine Hypothese von der hohlen Erde scheint aber im Allgemeinen nicht gut aufgenommen worden zu sein. Die meisten Wissenschaftler dieser Zeit einigten sich auf die bis heute gültige Vorstellung eines heißen Erdinneren mit einem glühenden Kern. Doch Halley hielt zeitlebens an seinem Modell fest. 1714 erklärte er in einer Diskussion zu seiner Karte der magnetischen Deklination, dass er noch keine Ursache sehe, die von ihm angebotenen Gründe für die Änderung des Magnetfeldes zurückzuziehen. Zwei Jahre später ergab sich die Gelegenheit, seine Hypothese zu erweitern. Als 1716 in England und weiten Teilen Europas sehr lichtstarke Polarlichter beobachtet wurden, erklärte er sie damit, dass das Licht aus den Hohlräumen durchscheine, weil die Erdkruste in nördlichen Breiten dünner sei. Als der 80-jährige Halley als Astronomer Royal porträtiert wurde, ließ er sich mit einem Diagramm der Hohlerde abbilden.

Es gab einige wichtige Zeitgenossen, die das halleysche Modell akzeptierten. Es wurde im Laufe der Zeit immer wieder aufgegriffen und diskutiert. 30 Jahre nach Halley propagierte der puritanische Theologe und Naturwissenschaftler Cotton Mather (1663–1728) in Neuengland das Modell der konzentrischen Sphären. In einem 1721 im Christian Philosopher veröffentlichten Artikel verteidigte er Halleys Hypothese und inspirierte damit spätere Abenteurer.

Der Schweizer Mathematiker Leonhard Euler diskutierte in einem Gedankenexperiment in seinen Lettres à une princesse d'Allemagne, ob die Erde (wie auch die anderen Planeten) hohl und von einer inneren "Sonne" erleuchtet sei, "die einer hochstehenden innerirdischen Menschheit Wärme und Licht spendet".

Der schottische Physiker und Mathematiker Sir John Leslie setzte zwei kleine Sonnen ins Zentrum, die er Pluto und Proserpina nannte.

Zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts popularisierte John Cleves Symmes junior (1780–1829), ein ehemaliger Hauptmann der US-Armee, wie kein anderer die Idee der Hohlerde in den USA. Er machte die Idee von Halley's Hohlerde zu seiner eigenen, indem er vorschlug, dass die Erde nicht nur innen hohl und bewohnbar sei, sondern auch an den Polen offen. Sich den Anschein von Wissenschaftlichkeit gebend, füllte er so die noch unbekannten polaren Gebiete nach seinen Vorstellungen mit dem bald als "Symmes' Loch" bekannt gewordenen Zugang zur Höhlung aus. 1818 schrieb er sein Circular Number 1 und verschickte eine erste Auflage von 500 Exemplaren an so viele wichtige Persönlichkeiten und Hochschulen wie möglich. Es beinhaltete eine pathetische persönliche Erklärung "An die ganze Welt", dass das Innere der Erde hohl und bewohnbar sei, zugänglich über weite Öffnungen an beiden Polen, jenseits des 82. Breitengrades, was er bei entsprechender Unterstützung bereit wäre mit einer Expedition zu erforschen. Ohne dass jemals auch nur eine wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichung seine Ansichten unterstützt hätte, fand seine Idee über populärwissenschaftliche oder fiktionale Schriften zahlreiche Anhänger und er erwarb sich unter seinen Landsleuten den Ruf als ein "amerikanischer Newton".

Ein weiterer energischer Verfechter von Symmes' Theorie war der Archäologe James McBride, welcher im Laufe der Zeit Pläne entwickelte, wie ins Innere der Erde zu gelangen wäre. 1826 veröffentlichte McBride Symmes' Theory of Concentric Spheres. Ein weiterer Verfechter von Symmes' Theorie, Jeremiah N. Reynolds, bewog den US-Kongress dazu, eine Expedition an den Südpol zu finanzieren. Durch das US Federal Government finanziert, startete die Expedition 1838 unter dem Namen United States Exploring Expedition. Bis 1842 sammelte die United States Exploring Expedition bis zu 50.000 Proben. Das Bedürfnis, die Objekte sicher zu verwahren, trug dazu bei, ein Nationales Naturkundemuseum, das Smithsonian, zu schaffen.

Schon im 19. Jahrhundert ergaben sich, ebenfalls durch Dichtebetrachtungen, erste begründete Zweifel an der Hohlerdetheorie. Es wurde beobachtet, dass die mittlere Dichte der Erde mit 5,52 g/cm³ wesentlich größer ist als die Dichte von Gesteinen an der Erdoberfläche, die normalerweise zwischen 2 und 3 g/cm³ beträgt. Aus dieser Erkenntnis folgt im Widerspruch zur Theorie, dass die Dichte mit zunehmender Tiefe anwachsen muss. 1906 veröffentlichte der britische Geologe Oldham erste seismologische Hinweise auf einen Erdkern. 1936 wies die dänische Seismologin Inge Lehmann die Existenz eines inneren Erdkerns nach, für den später ein Radius von rund 3.500 km bestimmt wurde. Spätestens damit war die Theorie der hohlen Erde widerlegt. Heute ist der Innere Aufbau der Erde mit wesentlich mehr Details, einschließlich des Dichteverlaufs, des Magnetfelds und der thermischen Bilanz bekannt und nichts davon deutet auf einen großen Hohlraum hin.

Umsetzungen der Thematik

Literatur

Die Theorie der hohlen Erde beeinflusste Ludvig Holbergs Roman Niels Klims unterirdische Reise (1741), Giacomo Casanovas Roman Icosameron (1788), Edgar Allan Poes Werk The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket und wurde durch Jules Vernes Roman Die Reise zum Mittelpunkt der Erde allgemein bekannt. Außerdem wurde sie auch von Wladimir Afanassjewitsch Obrutschew mit Plutonien aufgegriffen. Tarzan-Autor Edgar Rice Burroughs siedelte seinen fiktiven Kontinent "Pellucidar" ebenfalls in der Innenfläche einer Hohlerde an.

In Arno Schmidts Satire Tina oder über die Unsterblichkeit (1955) befindet sich in der hohlen Erde das "Elysium", in dem alle Menschen weiterleben, solange ihrer auf Erden noch gedacht wird – was besonders Personen betrifft, deren Erinnerung schriftlich aufbewahrt ist.

In der Heftromanserie Perry Rhodan beschrieben die Autoren 1965 die aus konzentrischen Kugelschalen aufgebaute "Hohlwelt Horror". In der Romanhandlung ist diese Welt Teil eines Transportsystems zwischen der Milchstraße und der Andromedagalaxie.

Der Steampunk-Roman Hohlwelt (Originaltitel The Hollow Earth, 1990) des Mathematikers und Science-Fiction-Autors Rudy Rucker handelt von Menschen (in diesem Zusammenhang Erdoberflächenbewohnern), unter ihnen Edgar Allan Poe, die in die (fiktive) Welt im Inneren der Erde hinabsteigen. Im Nachwort gibt der Autor einen knappen Überblick über die Entstehung des Romans, die verwendeten historischen Quellen, die gravitativen Verhältnisse in einer Hohlkugel und das Wurmloch, das sich in seiner Version der Hohlwelttheorie im Zentrum der hohlen Erde befindet.

Die beiden Romane Indiana Jones und die Macht aus dem Dunkel (1992) von Rob MacGregor und Indiana Jones und das Geheimnis von Thule (1997) von Max McCoy behandeln beide das Thema der Hohlwelt, in die der Archäologe und Abenteurer Indiana Jones vorstößt.

In seinem 2006 erschienenen Roman Gegen den Tag beschreibt der amerikanische Autor Thomas Pynchon in einem Pastiche auf die Abenteuerliteratur der Zeit um 1900, wie ein Luftschiff die Erde durch ihren hohlen Innenraum von Pol zu Pol durchquert.

Der 2021 in deutscher Übertragung erschienene Roman des argentinischen Schriftstellers Carlos Suchowolski Das Licht der Hohlwelt (übers. v. Pia Biundo) spielt ganz in einer von entfernt schildkrötenähnlichen Wesen bewohnten Hohlwelt. Menschen kommen darin nicht explizit vor, könnten allerdings die in der Wahrnehmung der Hohlweltbewohner verzerrt dargestellten "Außenteufel" sein.

Videospiele, Hörspiele, Fernsehen
Die Geschichten der Serie von Computer-Adventure-Spielen Myst basieren auf der Zivilisation der D'ni, die im Inneren der Erde existierte. In der dazugehörigen Romanreihe (→ Das Buch Atrus) werden die Kultur und die Lebensräume der D'ni detailliert beschrieben.

Seit 2006 behandelt auch die Hörspielserie Die Schwarze Sonne von Günter Merlau (Lausch Medien) den Mythos um die hohle Erde. Darin wird die Hohlwelttheorie in den Kontext real-historischer sowie fiktiver Handlungselemente gestellt.

In der kanadischen Science-Fiction-/Mystery-Fernsehserie Sanctuary – Wächter der Kreaturen (ab Staffel 3, Episode 6) spielte die Hohlerde eine immer wiederkehrende Rolle für das Vorkommen von Abnormen.

Das Point-and-Click-Adventure The Inner World und dessen Fortsetzung spielen in einer Hohlerde.

In der Science-Fiction-Komödie Iron Sky: The Coming Race (2019) leben die reptiloiden Vril auf der Innenseite der Hohlerde in einer Art urzeitlichem Paradies.

In dem Science-Fiction-Actionfilm Godzilla vs. Kong reisen King Kong und einige Menschen in das Innere der Erde. Hier treffen sie auf verschiedene Monster.

Im Spiel Halo 4 besteht der künstliche Planet Requiem aus mehreren dickwandigen konzentrischen Hohlkugeln und ihren ausgedehnten Zwischenräumen.

EASA awards AW189 type certificate
by Terry Spruce · February 11
The AgustaWestland AW189 helicopter has been awarded its EASA type certificate.
AgustaWestland has announced that the AW189 helicopter has been awarded a type certificate by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on 7 February 2014. Delivery of the first two AW189s in offshore configuration to the Bristow Group is imminent.
Daniele Romiti, chief executive officer of AgustaWestland, said: "EASA certification of the new generation AW189 is a tremendous achievement and marks a major milestone in the development of new generation long range helicopters, as well as bringing into service the newest member of our unique family of helicopters."
Romiti added: "We are committed to ensuring that the many customers who have already ordered the AW189 and will soon take delivery of their helicopters, will get industry leading levels of service to enable them to exploit the AW189's class leading capabilities."
The first AW189 final assembly line is located in Vergiate, Italy, with second one being established at AgustaWestland's Yeovil facility in the UK, which will initially build the AW189 helicopters that will be used for the UK's new Search and Rescue service and then to meet the global demand for SAR-configured AW189s.

Filip Molcan has just pointed out a new petition to get Apple to support the ISO standard 26300, otherwise known as OpenDocument in iWork 08. iWork 08 already supports the Open Office XML (OOXML) document format, which isn't yet an ISO standard. Wasn't Apple meant to be a supporter of open standards?

The second OpenOffice.org Aqua Preview is now available for download.
There are a number of new features and bug fixes in this release. There is one major known regression, that will be fixed in a future development build. This time we have not hacked the source to include the Mac OS X native file picker. Instead there is the OpenOffice.org file picker used.
The list on the aqua download page will be updated with more known issues as required.

In the process of putting the log files of the Mac OS X porting meeting logs up on to the OpenOffice.org Wiki, I have been having a few problems. This has primarily been due to the location of new lines.
To day I asked on Colloquy's IRC channel, and found that there is a simple utility to get plain text logs from the XML Colloquy logs. It is located at the Colloquy extras page.

Many of the OpenOffice.org national language teams will be happy with the following announcement.
There are now Download Statistics being produced for the downloads from the bouncer. The stats are generated once daily around 08:05 UTC. Inside the stats folder you will find a series of folders with dates as their name. Inside each of these, you will find a series of files that contain a few different breakdowns of the stats for each particular day.
For example, 20070621/macos-alllangs.txt shows the number of downloads on the 21st of June 2007, broken down by download for each possible download. I find it strange that there has been 135 downloads for the Mac OS X PPC en-US version of 2.1.0, which is a very old build. The newer OpenOffice.org 2.2.0 for Mac OS X PPC en-US has less than 3 times more downloads. I'm wondering where the 2.1.0 build is linked from.
For a language example, 20070621/allos-de.txt shows a count of all the German downloads on the 21st of June 2007. The most popular German build on that day being Mac OS X Intel, with 102 downloads.
Thanks go to Michael Marineau from OSUOSL for setting up the script.
Please note that these are simply raw requests and and the script that produces them doesn't take into account builds that don't exist, but were requested for. Unfortunately there is no week, month or year view of the data at this time.
The files do mention all version of OpenOffice.org from 2.1.0 up to and including 2.4.0. This has been done so that they will not need to be updated for each release.

Today I discovered why it is that the French have been placing a space in front of colons (:), and it has been driving me mad.
In English it is usually seen as being wrong to place a space before a colon. However according to Lars Aronsson on the lingu-dev mailing list, it is normal practice in French to place a space before the colon.

The UK (Westminster) Government has given a response to the petition on a petition calling on the UK Government to use the OpenDocument format for the storage of documents.
It seems that they are making no firm commitment to use the OpenDocument format, though are continually reviewing the format to store documents in, and converting them accordingly. They welcome the newer open standards, as it makes it easier to convert from one format to another.

The first in depth review of OpenOffice.org Aqua that I have come across is by Greg Kefalas. This is a four part series starting today, so more information in the coming days. I'll add links to the other parts of the review as they become available.
Part three Many of the problems mentioned are already fixed, or will be fixed for the next developer preview. Also the new chart, which is coming in OpenOffice.org 2.3 will be there too.
Part four Some of the issues raised have already been fixed and will be in the next developer snapshot. Having separate application for Writer, Calc, Impress etc. takes a lot of work to redesign the way ooo works otherwise it would have been implemented by now. The first steps in the project is to simply use native controls and get the most important features of Mac OS X implemented. We will then make a stable release. Thereafter we will look into other things like Applescript and re-organising the menus of OpenOffice.org into palettes. However if someone with a special passion for implementing Applescript support into applications comes along today and that's all they want to do, we won't stop them, if they are following our coding guidelines.

Since I last published an entry here I've been through some serious life changes. I started a new job. I got married, and didn't make anyone wear pink taffeta in the process (shout out Super Special #12, Here Come The Bridesmaids). I - like, within the last month - got a mortgage.
I mean, I get it, this blog isn't about me. But life moves on, man! (Unless you're a Stoneybrook-based babysitter caught in a time loop of eternal eighth grade-ing.) My point is, life is what happens when you're busy making other plans to babysit the Rodowsky boys on Friday, am I right?
When serious blogs (that is, blogs that update semi-regularly, take care of their domain names, etc. . . . blogs that are not this blog is what I am saying here) finish, they typically do so with a final entry. I never wrote one for What Claudia Wore, and though this sounds like one, it's not. Someday I'd love to point to this blog and have it be an archive of every outfit* in the Babysitters Club series. That was the goal that I had in my mind when I started the Book Index, and it's still a goal, even if not one I'm actively pursuing right now.
What Claudia Wore isn't over. It may be on an indefinite hiatus, but I still can't pass an Urban Outfitters without a small lol at today's Kishi-relevant fashion trends. And even if I never write another entry, knowing that it's here, at the original URL it launched from in 2007 . . . that's important to me.
Even if it's kinda cheating. Just call me Shawna Riverson.
So what happens after graduation? Well, you move on to the next adventure.
For me, that means a new medium. I have done a lot of writing on the internet. All the way back to 1997, when 'writing on the internet' was, um, mostly about whether Mulder and Scully were ever going to get together for real. I've been on the internet for more than half my life at this point, and it's a huge part of who I am. I'm an internet person.
So let's talk internet. Podcast-style.
In our first recording sessions, we've explored the cult of Konmari (including the crazy amount of privilege inherent in being able to discard anything that doesn't spark joy), our internet histories and that early 2000s livejournal lifestyle, and we're even dedicating an episode to this little blog right here.
We'll be launching next month and I hope you'll consider joining us -- you can sign up for our tinyletter to be notified when we're live.
Finally, I want to say thank you. I wasn't great at showing how much I appreciated every reader, every comment, every telephone cord bracelet-induced sigh of nostalgia. I loved them all and I've loved sharing this experience with you.
You say goodbye, I say hello (to your friends).
* at least, of every Claudia outfit . . . I don't know how many more of Jessi's leotards I have in me.
** it can be a thing.


This section will touch upon some of the general tire & wheel issues we come across.
What wheels/tires will fit my car?
Since cars differ, we can't tell you what tire size/wheel package will fit on your car. Whoever has the car must measure this specific vehicle to determine what size tires and wheels will fit it. We can tell you what was original or stock on the application, and often which optional wheels & tires were offered on a vehicle, but when you deviate significantly from stock – we can't say what'll work or fit on your car.
d) If you let the car sit for a few weeks, the tires develop "flat spots" (go out-of-round) and go "thump-thump-thump" for a while as you drive down the road.
These are "museum-quality" tires—meaning if your car will be parked in a museum, & NOT DRIVEN, they're great. If you plan to DRIVE your car, then either be prepared for all of the above or you should select modern radial tires.
Backspace and offset are 2 common ways to represent a wheel. If you take a 7 inch wheel and split it in half – the wheel has a ZERO offset. 3.5″ are in front of the hub and 3.5″ are behind the hub. So the wheel will have a 3.5″ backspace. Backspace is the amount of distance from the mounting hub of the wheel to the back edge of the wheel. The more backspace a wheel has, the more the wheel will be tucked under the car. Insufficient backspace will push the wheel OUT from under the car. Too much back space will pull the wheel under the car too far and possibly rub on the inner wheel well.
A 4″ – 4.25″ backspace is typical on a 7″ wheel. As the wheel gets wider, you need to increase the backspace to pull the wheel under the car and keep the wheel centered within the wheel well.
Rim Width is measured between the tire bead area. A 7″ wheel is WIDER than 7″ overall.

From 130 to 79
A good friend of mine had after the birth of her children and various life circumstances 130 kilos on the scale with a height of 1.71. She used to do a lot of sports, but for many years then nothing at all. When we met, she was down to about 100 kilos through a lot of hard work in the gym. And there it has stagnated. One of the reasons is surely that cycling in the gym is one of the most boring things you can imagine. Another reason is that you should take a closer look at your diet and exercise.
When it came to diet, I clearly saw that there was a quest for (supposedly) good food. For example, muesli for breakfast. But then also two plates full. I didn't easily manage to dissuade her that she "needed" it. We then installed an app for her to log and analyze her meals and that was a real aha moment. Of course, one has to be careful not to be enslaved by such apps. Food is and always will be a pleasure, after all! But to see where you have enough and where something is still missing - they are good for that.
When it comes to sports, we started very small. With jogging. At first it was "I can't" or "I've never done that before". But then we just started. I ran slowly, at first only 1 km with breaks. That hurt her in many ways - there were blisters on her feet and the first sore muscles! But: she did it and tasted blood. With the time we were then at 10km (!). And that at a very acceptable average of 6:30 min/km. We are now in "give me more" mode.
We have supplemented the endurance with self-weight exercises. And we had and still have to this day the issue of maintaining the desired weight (today no less than 79 kg). Because maintaining a target weight is much more difficult than losing weight itself. Topics for the next articles ...

Going off the Rails on a Crazy Train
Allright now, as Ozzy always says. Let's get going ... as the life clock goes past 40, sport becomes more and more important from my point of view. And sport has to be different than it used to be.
Why important? I've always been athletic since I was a kid, sometimes more, sometimes less (college, new job, etc.) and I've always felt good about it. Because that's what it's all about: a healthy mind needs a healthy body. Of course, there are those who have never exercised, or haven't exercised for a long time, but have recognized the need, I've written some thoughts on that here. And then there are those who have never exercised and don't plan to - I'm not writing about them.
Why different? I don't know exactly when it started, but sometime around my mid-30s I realized that it wasn't as easy to maintain your figure with your previous workload. I put on a lot of weight during that time and I didn't like it - visually or in terms of feeling good. And then I set out to find options, which I will address in further posts. It's primarily about combining strength, endurance and nutrition in the right way, but also varying it. I think the latter is very important, as I find some variety essential for both the mind and the body.
Even Ozzy (you don't have to like him, but he's one of my musical idols) does sport from time to time and has amazingly managed to continue to stumble through the world on two legs in relation to his lifestyle! All aboard?

Q: Как правильно сравнить данные 2-х массивов объектов? Есть 2 массива:
const arr1 = [
    {line:"1", id: "2"},
    {line:"2", id: "4"},
    {line:"4", id: "5"}
]
const arr2 = [
    {example:"112", idExample: "2"},
    {example:"233", idExample: "2"},
    {example:"444", idExample: "10"}
]

Как сравнить эти 2 массива и в случае если значения id и idExample равны, то что-то вывести.

A: const arr1 = [
    {line:"1", id: "2"},
    {line:"2", id: "4"},
    {line:"4", id: "5"}
]
const arr2 = [
    {example:"112", idExample: "1"},
    {example:"233", idExample: "2"},
    {example:"444", idExample: "10"}
]

arr1.forEach(itemId=>{
  arr2.forEach(itemIdExample=>{
    itemId.id === itemIdExample.idExample ? console.log("верно") : ''
  })
})

Выведет один раз "верно" так как совпадает только одно значение idExample: 2 и id: 2

A:

function checkArray(arr1,arr2,key1,key2){
  if(arr1.length != arr2.length) return false;
  let arrSize = arr1.length;
  for(i=0;i<arrSize;i++){
    if(arr1[i][key1]!=arr2[i][key2])return false;
  }
  return true;
}

const arr1 = [
    {line:"1", id: "2"},
    {line:"2", id: "4"},
    {line:"4", id: "5"}
]
const arr2 = [
    {example:"112", idExample: "2"},
    {example:"233", idExample: "4"},
    {example:"444", idExample: "5"}
]
console.log(checkArray(arr1, arr2, 'id', 'idExample'))

const arr3 = [
    {line:"1", id: "2"},
    {line:"2", id: "4"},
    {line:"4", id: "5"}
]
const arr4 = [
    {example:"112", idExample: "2"},

Apple Watch and Shipping Early Vs. Late
Tom Mainelli on September 29, 2017
I've spent the last week using the Apple Watch, Series 3 with cellular and my experience has been quite good. Now running WatchOS 4.0 with a long list of new features, and utilizing faster silicon, it is easily one of my favorite pieces of new technology this year. I've used every version of the product and watched as Apple iterated on the hardware and software, and sharpened the device's very reason for being. Which leads to this question: Was Apple better off shipping an imperfect product back in April 2015, or should it have waited until 2017 to ship this more fully-realized product?
Series 0: Underpowered and Overtaxed
The first Apple watch was a marvel of miniaturization, but a bit of a rough ride for early adopters with too-high expectations. The first-generation silicon inside often struggled to run some of Apple's first-party apps, let alone the third party software that developers rushed to build in anticipation of Apple's recreating the success of the original App Store. The watch was always going to be an accessory to the iPhone and not a replacement, but that first product was entirely too dependent on that wireless umbilical and watch apps themselves literally had to run on the phone. That said, Apple consistently pointed to strong consumer satisfaction with the product, and in the end, the biggest detractors were likely tech reviewers and disgruntled app developers.
At WWDC in 2015, Apple announced WatchOS 2.0, which gave developers the ability to run native apps on the watch itself and to access more of the hardware (including the Taptic Engine). This would prove to be key to a better experience, but it also meant developers who had built for the first version of the OS had to port over those early apps to run on the new platform. This was easy for some, harder for others depending on the app's underlying architecture.
In September 2016 Apple rolled out the Series 2 and re-released the first watch as the newly-christened Series 1 with upgraded silicon. The performance was demonstrably better, and as the company moved to WatchOS 3.0, the capabilities of the product continued to improve. While the user experience continued to improve, many developers had all but abandoned their existing Apple Watch apps or plans to bring new apps to the platform. But Apple's first-party apps continued to improve regarding functionality and performance, and my experience with the Series 2 was almost entirely positive. Over time I came to find its fitness tracking capabilities and its messaging features hugely beneficial. So much so, in fact, that I put my favorite mechanical watch in a drawer–likely for good.
Series 3 with Cellular: Indispensable
Which brings us to the current version of the watch I'm testing, the Series 3 with cellular. Unlike many early reviews, I had zero issues attaching the watch to my current data plan with Verizon. (And yes, $10 per month for data I've already purchased is too much.) I've also not encountered the captive WiFi issue, although it's likely to come up when I travel next week. Overall, I find the new features in WatchOS 4 to be as good or better than advertised, and I'm eagerly consuming the myriad of new data points available through the updated heart-rate tracking features.
The LTE watch has 16GB of storage, which has allowed me to download numerous music albums for listening on the go, and that experience has worked without issue when using the AirPods. Siri on the Series 3 feels like a more fully-formed digital assistant here, both in terms of her upgraded ability to speak, as well as the number of useful capabilities she can now accomplish.
But without a doubt, the most compelling feature on this new watch is the cellular connectivity. Whether it's leaving the phone locked in the car at the gym, hitting the trail with the dog, or just walking around the neighborhood with my family, the ability to leave it behind while remaining connected results in a feeling of liberation that's downright addictive. I ran into no technical issues while sending texts and making calls directly on the watch.
When Apple's Jeff Williams introduced the Series 3 with cellular, he said "This has been our vision from the very beginning. We believe built-in cellular makes Series 3 the ultimate expression of Apple Watch." So if that's true, should Apple have waited?
I don't think so. While it was unusual to watch Apple struggle to find its footing with the first product, the company clearly learned a great deal by shipping. The product we have today likely wouldn't exist if it didn't ship back in 2015. As the current WiFi issue illustrates, there is only so much you can achieve behind closed doors, and eventually you must put the product into customers' hands.
IDC estimates that Apple has shipped about 30 million watches to date. Apple itself noted during the keynote that it had moved pass Rolex to become the highest-revenue watch maker in the world. The watch isn't going to replace the iPhone, in terms of revenues for Apple or in terms of usage for customers. But it clearly represents the next chapter in Apple's constantly evolving story of bringing together hardware, software, and services. In fact, I'd personally written off the Apple Music service for my own personal use (I'm an audio geek who prefers the higher-bitrate Tidal). But now I plan to re-up with Apple Music when it becomes available for streaming to the watch. And I suspect I won't be the only one to do so.
The big question now is whether app developers will return to the WatchOS platform. I suspect that many will be skeptical of the opportunity, and rightly so. This is one of the challenges associated with shipping hardware early and asking people and companies to risk their time and money to build for a new platform. Apple's big challenge going forward will be convincing these developers to give WatchOS another spin. As others have noted, I suspect many of these next-generation WatchOS apps will exist primarily to bring new services to consumers.

Here Are LA's Free And Discount Rides To Get You To The Polls On Election Day
By Ryan Fonseca
Published Nov 5, 2018 12:21 PM
(AP Photo/Richard Vogel) (Richard Vogel/AP)
There's been a lot of talk about how voters will turn out for what's being billed as "the most important election" of our lives (at least until the next one). But for many eligible voters in Los Angeles County -- and across the nation -- getting to the polls can be a challenge.
"There is some research to suggest that transportation is in some ways a significant barrier for voters," said Mindy Romero, director of USC's California Civic Engagement Project.
"Say you're working a long day and you normally take public transportation, it's not a matter of simply driving by after work and stopping by to vote. You have to plan it out, you have to take a different route... something like that can add a hour or longer for people to exercise their right to vote."
If you're registered and want to vote but feels hindered by transportation, here are a few options to help get you there on the cheap (or free). And while you're in transit, study up with our voter guide.
GO METRO
Rides on Los Angeles Metro's trains and buses will be free all day Tuesday in an effort to boost voter turnout. The county sure could use the help. In the 2014 midterms, turnout was a measly 17 percent. Yikes.
Rides on Metro bike, bus and rail are FREE on #ElectionDay. #PedaltothePolls and use promo code 1162018 at any Metro Bike Share station to redeem your free bike ride! (First 30 minutes is free on Metro Bike Share. $1.75 for each half hour after.) @metrolosangeles pic.twitter.com/SFJg9Jtx19
— Metro Bike (@BikeMetro) November 3, 2018
Romero said the people who use public transit tend to have lower incomes, as do the people who vote the least. If the financial impact of a trip to the polls is taken out of the equation, that could lead to better turnout -- and better representation.
"By making it easier for the population that rides public transportation you'll hopefully, in the long run, be aiding the electorate to be a little more representative," she said.
Check out Metro's website to see the nearest bus or train stop to you and plan out your route.
MORE PUBLIC TRANSIT OPTIONS
Several other local and regional transit agencies are offering free rides on Tuesday. Those include:
Long Beach Transit
Pasadena Transit
Baldwin Park Transit
Santa Clarita Transit
Lyft and Uber announced last month that they are offering discounted and, in some areas, free rides to the polls on Nov. 6.
Over 15 million people cited transportation as their primary barrier to voting in the 2016 election — that's why we're introducing The Ride to Vote. Lyft will provide free and discounted rides to the Polls. #TheRidetoVote https://t.co/E8GVhNNkE8 pic.twitter.com/1kmqWlSpsB
— Lyft (@lyft) August 23, 2018
Lyft said riders in "underserved communities" are eligible for free rides through partnerships with several nonpartisan, nonprofit groups. Uber had a similar initiative and is also offering $10 off a single ride to the polls on Election Day.
SCOOT TO THE POLLS
It is 2018, so of course e-scooters are now part of the democratic process. Lime announced users will receive free 30-minute rides on its scooters and bikes on Nov. 6 when users enter the promo code "LIME2VOTE18." Just be sure you're caught up on the rules of riding.
On Nov. 6th, we are offering free rides to the polls. 🇺🇸 🗽#CitrusGotReal #BeAVoter #electionday #electionday2018
Details here: https://t.co/BsJGMsVs85
— Lime (@limebike) October 25, 2018
NEIGHBORHOOD CARPOOLING
Some Nextdoor users have also reported that their neighbors are offering rides to their polling places tomorrow. So if you're on the hyperlocal site and need to get to the polls in a pinch, you can check if anyone in your community can help you out. And if you're feeling patriotic -- or just have some free time -- you could offer to shuttle neighbors yourself.
