Microsoft Surface Pro Price Cut by $100
By Sean P. Aune |
Stay Connected with Us! Follow TechnoBuffalo
Without much fanfare, Microsoft has discounted its Surface Pro by $100. While the price cut last month to the Surface RT models was followed by a statement from Mcirosoft CEO Steve Ballmer about how the company had lost nearly $900 million dollars due to the troubled tablet, there is no indication as of yet that a similar problem is plaguing the Pro models.
The page on Microsoft?s site makes no mention as to how long this price cut will last, but in a statement obtained by The Verge, the price cut is applicable to consumers in?Canada, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the U.S. and will last through Aug. 29.
While it may be easy to point to this price cut as a sign that the Pro has failed, there have also been rumors circulating that an updated version of the Microsoft produced tablets are in the pipeline with a potential release in the not too distant future. Clearing out the old stock always makes sense before releasing an updated product.

'African Americans for Justice in the Middle East & North Africa' condemn rising tide of racism in Israeli society (African Americans for Justice in the Middle East & North Africa, Mondoweiss)
We, the undersigned, condemn in the strongest possible terms recent?racist comments?made by Israel's newly-elected chief Ashkenazi rabbi, David Lau, who referred to African-American basketball players playing in Israel as "kushim," a derogatory term that is akin to "nigger." Rabbi Lau, a government official who is paid by the state and who is scheduled to serve a ten-year term as one of two official chief Israeli rabbis, made the offensive remarks to young Jewish religious students while warning them against watching televised sports like basketball. Following criticism from anti-racism activists, Rabbi Lau was defended?by Natfali Bennett,?Israel's Minister of Religious Services and?leader of the Jewish Home party.
Regrettably, the sentiments expressed by Rabbi Lau reflect a larger problem of racism in Israeli society. In recent years, Israel has witnessed a rising tide of socially acceptable bigotry, particularly against African asylum seekers and Palestinians, fanned by senior?religious?and?political?figures. In June 2012, Israel's then-Interior Minister, Eli Yishai,?declared?that Israel "belongs to us, to the white man," in response to a question about Muslim asylum seekers. The previous month, Israeli politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu?and members of his Likud party, helped incite a wave of violence against Africans after making fear-mongering and incendiary comments about asylum seekers. In one instance, Likud parliamentarian Miri Regev described?African refugees as a "cancer in our body" at a rally in Tel Aviv that degenerated into what local media?described?as a "race riot" in which random individuals of African descent were attacked in the street. Around the same time, a series of?arsons and other?violent attacks?were carried out against Africans in Israel. The situation was so bad that a group of ambassadors from African countries?complained?to Israel's foreign ministry that African diplomats were afraid to walk down the street.
The situation for Palestinians living in Israel and the occupied territories is no better. Those who are citizens of Israel suffer systematic discrimination?as non-Jews living in a self-defined "Jewish state," while those living under Israeli military rule are denied?the most basic of political and civil rights, which are accorded to Jewish settlers living in illegal settlements right next to them, simply because they are not Jewish. Increasingly, the world is?recognizing?the regime that Israel has instituted in the territories that it controls between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea as a form of apartheid.
As African Americans and as citizens of the United States, which provides enormous economic, military, and diplomatic support to the state of Israel, we are appalled by Rabbi Lau's racist statement,?the lack of condemnation from senior Israeli and American officials that it engendered, and by the disturbing growth in openly racist attitudes expressed in Israel against Africans, Palestinians, and others. We call on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Barack Obama, and all peoples of conscience, to condemn Rabbi Lau's comments and the growing culture of intolerance and naked racism in Israeli society that they represent,?and to demand his immediate removal from his position as chief Ashkenazi rabbi. As negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians begin again under the rubric of the US-sponsored peace process, which reportedly includes a demand?supported by the Obama administration that Palestinians officially recognize Israel as a ?Jewish state,? we also urge politicians and all others concerned to acknowledge and address the worsening racism and discrimination suffered by Palestinian and other non-Jewish citizens of Israel. Failure to do so will mean the perpetuation of the injustices done to the Palestinian people, and the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, regardless of the results of any negotiations.?

CBS blocks Time Warner Cable customers online
TV 
7 hours ago
CBS / CBS
Time Warner Cable customers in several major U.S. cities, including New York, Los Angeles and Dallas, have been without CBS programming since Friday, when negotiations over retransmission fees broke down. And now, thanks to a decision by CBS, those viewers andcustomers will feel squeezed out online: The network has decided to block them from accessing programming that would normally be available on the Internet, as well.
"If Time Warner Cable is a customer's Internet service provider, then their access to CBS full episode content via online and mobile platforms has been suspended as a result of Time Warner Cable's decision to drop CBS and Showtime from their market," CBS spokesperson Dana McClintock told TODAY.com.?
"As soon as CBS is restored on Time Warner Cable systems in affected markets, that content will be accessible again," she added.
That said, some TWC customers are still able to access CBS.com programming -- at least for now. As the spokesperson noted, "There are some instances where TWC customers have reported being able to watch. It's not 100%."

From London to Nice, the woman who led detectives to world?s richest fugitive
In less than 24 hours, Olena Tischenko would unwittingly lead British private investigators to the man they had hunted for 18 months. This is the Hollywood thriller-style story of how Mukhtar Ablyazov was tracked down to his nest of luxury villas on the Cote d?Azur.
Ablyazov, 50, was wanted on charges of massive fraud over the ?12?billion collapse of the BTA bank he ran in Kazakhstan.
The multi-billionaire fled to London in 2009 and went on the run in London when facing a prison sentence last year. Since then investigators hired by BTA have combed much of Europe, until Ms Tischenko, wearing a black mini-dress and tottering on four-inch heels, led them from London to Nice and then on a drive through the early hours of the morning to a sumptuous villa.
There, through the window, Ablyazov was finally spotted. He was in his underwear, making up a bed.
Sources say Ms Tischenko, the ex-wife of a Ukrainian multi-millionaire, was in the High Court on 22 July defending legal action brought by lawyers for? BTA and its creditors.
Shortly before 6pm she left court and took a taxi to Cornhill in the City, then a second cab to Heathrow where she did some shopping.
At 10.30pm her flight took off to Nice and she was picked up by the driver of a white Land Rover Discovery at 1.30am. She was driven to her home ? where she changed into the mini and heels ? and less than an hour later drove off in a grey Discovery for Villa Neptune in Miramar.
She went past the villa, parked away from it and then walked back at 3.07am. At 3.40am, Ablyazov was spotted for the first time, rearranging the bed and drawing the curtains. Ms Tischenko left the villa at midday to drive to the beach and that night flew from Nice to Moscow. Investigators kept watch at Villa Neptune and last Friday Ablyazov drove to another of his villas, Saint Basile in Mouglis.
That evening Ms Tisschenko arrived back in Nice and drove to Saint Basile to stay the night. On Monday, the bank contacted the French authorities in Aix-en-Provence to tell them about Ablyazov ? wanted under an Interpol notice issued by Ukraine.
Meanwhile the fugitive was on the move again to another luxury property, 1816 Chemin de Castellaras in Mouans-Sartoux. Two days ago a 12-man Brigade de Recherche et D?Intervention team, supported by a helicopter with thermal image detectors, arrived at the scene.
At 1.45pm they stormed in and Ablyazov was seized. He faces extradition to the Ukraine for a fraud trial but could be sent back to London to serve a 22-month sentence.
He had fled Kazakhstan in 2009 to claim asylum in Britain but BTA pursued him at the High Court, freezing his worldwide assets. With jail looming after his flouting of the court orders, he vanished ? until Ms Tisch-enko finally led detectives to him.
Ablyazov?s daughter Madina yesterday said her father faced ?grave danger? if returned to Kazakhstan.

Defending 4A champ falls in baseball
The first round is complete at the state high school baseball tournament and there will be a new champion in class 4A. Clinton jumped out to an early 8-0 lead then held off a furious rally by top ranked and defending champion Ankeny 10-8.
Chino Alcala?s two out single in the bottom of the ninth inning brought in the winning run as third ranked Des Moines East beat Davenport North 7-6. ?I was looking for an away curveball and he threw me a fastball and I just got out on it and hit it opposite field,? Alcala explains.
Davenport North tried to take the lead twice by attempting a double steal but both times had runner thrown out at the plate. Wildcats coach Cory Wachal says they had opportunities, but East made the plays they needed.
Dom Thompson-Williams drove in the lone run of the game and the Sioux City East Black Raiders scraped out a 1-0 victory over the 10th-ranked Cedar Rapids Xavier.

Mason City Newman returns to 1A championship baseball game
Casey Hall tossed a three hit shutout as top ranked Mason City Newman earned a return trip to the class 1A championship game with a 3-0 victory over second ranked Twin Cedars in a semifinal round contest. Hall says his plan was to try and keep the Twin Cedars hitters off balance.
With the victory the Knights advance to Saturday?s 1A title game. They were the runner-up a year ago, and Newman coach Tony Adams says a tough regular season schedule has paid off at tournament time.
Making their second trip to state Twin Cedars closes the season with a record of 36-3. Twin Cedars coach Matt Miller who says this is only the beginning for a team that has just two seniors.
?This is going to be motivation to work much, much, harder than we already have, which I feel we?ve put in a lot of work and a lot of time,? Miller says. ?We certainly expect to be back. I know that is a long road ahead and it is hard to get here, but this is a group that is very special at Twin Cedars and we will be very motivated through the offseason.?

Can the GOP ever really stop Obamacare?
The Republican-led House of Representatives Friday will vote for the 40th time to roll back the Affordable Care Act. While symbolically meaningful, this vote will be as futile as the last 39 votes to repeal the law. Obviously, the Democratic-led Senate would never pass a repeal bill, and President Obama would never sign it.
The Republican Party remains as committed as ever to repealing or at least dismantling the mammoth health care law that Democrats pushed through Congress in 2010 with zero GOP support. But after years of railing against the law and dozens of votes against it, Republicans are now divided over the best way to attack it.
While the House continues to hold votes to repeal the law, a group of Senate Republicans are leading a campaign to defund the measure. Conservatives at the state level, meanwhile, have resisted implementing the law. All of these efforts have had some impact on the law so far, but for all practical purposes, it appears at this point that Obamacare is here to stay.
This week's vote is on a bill specifically to stop the IRS from implementing the portions of Obamacare that it's responsible for, such as helping to enforce the individual mandate and giving consumers subsidies with which to purchase insurance. The bill, called the Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act of 2013, seizes not only on conservatives' fierce opposition to Obamacare, but also to their relatively new concerns about the IRS in the wake of its targeting of tea party groups.
"After all we've learned about the IRS and its conduct, the last thing we want is the IRS into protected health care information of taxpayers," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said to reporters Wednesday.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, one of the Senate's most outspoken conservatives, said Tuesday that if the law isn't stopped now -- before it is fully implemented -- it may never be. "No major entitlement, once it has been implemented, has ever been unwound," he said. "If we don't do it now, in all likelihood we never will."
That said, even Cruz acknowledged House's repeal votes are getting tiresome. "Those votes were, by and large, empty, symbolic votes that had zero chance of passing," he said.
Cruz has signed onto an initiative, led by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to block any government funding bill that includes any funds that would go towards the implementation of Obamacare. The idea would presumably give conservatives leverage on the matter, since Congress needs to pass a government funding bill by Sept. 30 or risk letting parts of the government shut down.
While a number of conservatives have joined this campaign, multiple Republicans -- skeptical of the idea's effectiveness and also wary of shutting the government down -- have dismissed it as a gimmick.
Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., called it the "dumbest idea" he had ever heard, while Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., warned against more shutdown "shenanigans." Some senators who initially backed the idea, like Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, have rescinded their support for it.

Battle Ready
As Shakespeare once told us, ?Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.? And some, he might have added, rise to greatness because of the presence?and the provocations?of a worthy rival. In a series of articles over the next few weeks, Slate will explore how competition makes the best even better, driving creativity, innovation, and sheer bloody-mindedness in a race to the top.
Our Moneybox columnist Matthew Yglesias leads off, looking at why the most successful entrepreneurs don?t always amass the biggest fortunes. (Exhibit A: Steve Jobs.) Slate?s chief Explainer, Brian Palmer, will unpack how rivalries between sports franchises enhance their brand value. Slate science writer Daniel Engber will unearth the bizarre and fascinating ?bone wars? between two 19th-century dinosaur hunters, and technology columnist Farhad Manjoo will assess the four-way battle of the top tech giants. We?ll also tackle some of the most iconic head-to-head contests of the last century: from comics to soft drinks, from skyscrapers to feuding literary sisters. There?s even more to come, but for now, grab a ringside seat and enjoy the fray.

Pinterest introduces email alerts for price reductions on pinned items
Pinterest has been a boon for digital scrapbookers, and today, the company is rolling out a new feature to appeal to its bargain-hunting user base. When the price drops on an item you've pinned, an email will be zapped to your inbox to alert you to the discount. If you're the kind of person who uses the site to sort out your shopping needs, it might be right up your alley, but not all pinners will appreciate the influx of messages. The feature can be switched off from the account settings menu, though even when it's on, Pinterest insists that emails will be bundled to avoid clutter. Discount alerts are set for a gradual roll-out, so if you're not seeing the option under settings yet, sit tight.
