Apple's first store in Shanghai has opened in Pudong in the IFC Mall. All praise the Steve. We took a quick gander the other night. It was packed. "Genius" bar was full too. It is conveniently just round the corner from City Super (quality supermarket from Hong Kong, also newly opened, hey the IFC has only just opened its doors, everything is newly opened in Shanghai.) So, you can visit the Apple Store for some quality tech produce then pop to City Super for quality groceries and baking produce. Mall-tastic heaven.
So after about 4 months I went back to the dentist. He bascially screwed a screw into the implant which will act like a spacer for the tissue to grow around. Creating space where the crown will be placed. In a couple of weeks should have a tooth again.
The above is a screenshot from the end of the Adobe Acrobat update process on a Mac. Adobe thinks you want to view PDF documents in your browser via their plugin. No you don't. Do you? I mean come on. Repair? Huh? Even if you've unset the "View in the browser" option in Acrobat's preferences. Anyway, notice the "Repair Setup" window does not focus. No problem, you think. I'll just click on the window and give it focus, uncheck the box, click Continue and this experience will be over. But no! No I say. You can't click on the window.…
Fascinating video from Protect on taking charge of a situation in which you are attacked. They use the example of a shooter entering a classroom - attack the attacker rather than cower and be shot. It seems to work in the video. Of course, they're all large ex-Israeli soldiers so you mileage may vary.
This is not for the squeamish. You have been warned...
The Sky Burial is the traditional funeral in Tibet. The process: the body is cut up and left to vultures. It's a circle of life thing. It is very rare to witness this. Let alone be allowed to take pictures. Nevertheless mbv travel has a photo set of the whole thing. Please don't click if your eating lunch.
