We Satio users have been waiting a long time for an update for our Satio's that justifies its high price tag. We Satio users also want the basic features to be fixed e.g. kinetic scrolling added to whole UI; RDS added to radio; etc....

A large amount of Nokia N97 handsets, sold through both Optus and outright have been failing constantly, software errors occur, photo management issues, as well as system restarts.

Because of this, we believe that an optional recall for Nokia N97 handsets with these issues be considered so the phones are either fixed, or refunded.

Adobe has announced the launch of their new CS3 line of products containing
new and improved versions of previous software such as Photoshop, Illustrator,
Flash, etc (details on www.adobe.com).

With new products comes new pricing... fair enough. However, prices for the
same product (i.e. the mac design premium upgrade from CS2.0) go from 599$
for an upgrade in the US to 1'057$ in Switzerland and 1'134$ in France and
Germany, the worse being 1'178 $ for the UK... not fair enough! (all prices
excl. tax).

Prices in Europe have always been a little higher, but 190% of the US price is
pushing it!

There is an interesting comparison at the following address: http://
www.amanwithapencil.com/adobe.html that shows the difference in pricing
between Apple and Adobe software.

I have also written an article summarizing all the information I gathered (in
English only) at the following address: http://web.mac.com/libine/iWeb/Site/
Article.html

On April 23rd, 2007 I sent this petition to the European commission asking
them to investigate and where possible act upon this situation. Please continue
signing the petition as I am leaving it open as long as Adobe hasn't revised their
pricing.

In the meantime, if you can, don't purchase the upgrade, it's the best pressure
we can have...

Adobe a annoncé sa nouvelle ligne de produits CS3 avec de nombreuses
améliorations et des nouveautés (plus de détails sur www.adobe.fr)

Avec les nouveaux produits, viennent de nouveaux prix... d'accord. Toutefois,
les prix pour le même produit (upgrade design kit premium depuis CS2.0) vendu
aux US pour 599$ est vendu en Suisse pour 1'057$ et 1'134$ en France et en
Allemagne, la palme allant à l'Angleterre 1'178$... pas d'accord! (tous prix HT).

Historiquement, les prix de logiciels ont toujours été un peu plus chers en
Europe, mais 190% du prix US c'est quand-même exagéré!

Vous trouverez une comparaison interessante des prix pratiqués par Apple et
par Adobe à cette addresse (en anglais): http://www.amanwithapencil.com/

Le 23 avril dernier, j'ai écris à la commission européeene pour la concurrence
leur demandant d'investiger cette situation et d'agir à tous les niveaux
possibles. Je vous demande de continuer toutefois à signer la pétition car je la
laisserai ouverte tant qu'Adobe n'aura pas revu ses prix à la baisse.

En attendant, si vous le pouvez, n'achetez pas leur upgrade, c'est la meilleure
manière de leur mettre un peu de pression.

Adobe hat die Produkteinführung der neuen CreativeSuite 3 verkündet, welche
die neuen und verbesserten Versionen der vorhergehenden Programme wie
Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, usw. (Details über www.adobe.com) enthält.

Mit neuen Produkten kommen immer neue Preise… das ist schon in Ordnung.
Jedoch gehen Preise für das gleiche Produkt (d.h. das Update von der CS2
Premium Mac) von 599$ in den US zu 1.057$ in der Schweiz und zu 1.134$ in
Frankreich und in Deutschland auseinander, im schlimmsten Fall 1.178 $ für
die englische Version… das ist allerdings nicht mehr fair zu nennen! (alle Preise
excl. Steuer).

Die Preise in Europa sind immer ein wenig höher gewesen, aber 190% des US
Preises ist nicht akzeptabel!

Es gibt einen interessanten Vergleich unter der folgenden Adresse: http://

aufzeigt.

Ich habe am 23. April 2007, einen Brief mit einem Hinweis auf die Online-
Petition, an die Europäische Wettbewerbskommission geschickt, mit der Bitte
tätig zu werden und wo möglich auf diese Situation zu reagieren.

Die beste Möglichkeit, für uns, Druck auszuüben, ist jetzt vorerst kein Upgrade
zu kaufen!

Adobe ha annunciato il lancio della loro nuova linea di prodotti CS3, contenente
nuove e migliorate versioni dei precedenti software come Photoshop, Illustrator,
Flash, etc (dettagli su www.adobe.com).

Con nuovi prodotti arrivano nuovi prezzi...abbastanza corretto. Comunque, i
prezzi per gli stessi prodotti (es: aggiornamento pacchetto design premium per
mac da CS2.0) vanno da 599$ per un aggiornamento negli US fino a 1'057$ in
Svizzera, 1'134$ per Francia e Germania ed il prezzo peggiore è di 1'178$ per gli
UK...non abbastanza corretto! (tutti i prezzi sono tasse escluse).

I prezzi in Europa sono sempre stati un po' più alti, ma il 190% di quello degli
Stati Uniti è una forzatura!

A questo indirizzo http://www.amanwithapencil.com/adobe.html si può trovare
un'interessante comparazione che mostra la differenza di determinazione del
prezzo tra Apple ed i software Adobe.

Ho anche scritto un articolo che riassume tutte le informazioni che ho raccolto
(solo in inglese) e lo potete trovare al seguente indirizzo: http://web.mac.com/

Il 23 aprile 2007 ho mandato questa petizione alla commissione Europea
chiedendo loro di esaminare con cura questa situazione e, dove possibile, agire di
conseguenza. Per cortesia continuate a firmare la petizione, la lascerò aperta
finché Adobe non avrà rivisto i suoi prezzi.

Nel frattempo, se puoi, non comprare l'aggiornamento, è la migliore pressione
che noi possiamo fare.

About Bangalore

Bangalore's Rs. 22,000 crore (US$ 47.2 billion) economy makes it a major economic centre in India.[27] Indeed, Bangalore is India's fourth largest[28] and fastest growing market. [29] Bangalore's per capita income of Rs. 2.9 lakh (US$ 6,460) is the highest for any Indian city. [28] As of 2001 Bangalore's share of Rs. 1660 crore (US$ 3.7 billion) in Foreign Direct Investment was the 3rd highest for an Indian city.[30]

In the 1940s industrial visionaries such as Sir Mirza Ismail and Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya played an important role in the development of Bangalore's strong manufacturing and industrial base. Bangalore is headquarters to several public manufacturing heavy industries such as Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML) and Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT).

In June 1972 the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) was established under the Department of Space and headquartered in the city. Bangalore is called the Silicon Valley of India because of the large number of Information Technology companies located in the city which contribute 38% of India's Rs. 100,000 crore (US$ 22 billion) IT and software export market.[31] Bangalore's IT industry is divided into three main "clusters" — Software Technology Parks of India, Bangalore (STPI); International Technology Park Ltd. (ITPL); and Electronics City. Infosys and Wipro, India's 2nd and 3rd largest software companies, have largest campus in Electronics City. As headquarters to 38% of global SEI-CMM Level 5 Companies, Bangalore's place in the global IT map is prominent.[32]

The growth of Information Technology has presented the city with unique challenges. Ideological clashes between the city's IT moguls, who demand an addressal of the infrastructural problems of the city, and the traditionally bureaucratic state governments, whose electoral base is primarily rural Karnataka's agricultural workers, are aplenty. In July 2004 Wipro CEO Azim Premji threatened to pull his company out of the city, stating, "We do not see the situation (state of Bangalore's infrastructure) improving in the near future".[33]

The Hosur Road, which connects Bangalore to the Electronics City, is a heavily congested road in the city. The road is also part of the National Highway (NH7) and therefore witnesses heavy truck traffic as well.

Biotechnology is a rapidly expanding field in the city. Bangalore accounts for 47% or 127 of the approximately 265 biotechnology companies in India. Biocon, headquartered in Bangalore, is the nation's leading biotechnology company and ranks 16th in the world in revenues. The Bangalore Stock Exchange is the largest in South India.

Chaning the Name

BANGALORE, India, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Kannada speakers in India's Karnataka state have renamed their capital and IT hub Bangalore as Bengalooru to carry the language's common "u" syllable.

The official name change coincides with the golden jubilee of the founding of southern Karnataka as a state.

State Chief Minister H. D. Kumaraswamy said, "Bangalore and several other cities have Kannada names but they have been anglicized in usage. It has also become a topic of debate. On this happy occasion of the golden jubilee, I am glad to announce the change in names," reports the Press Trust of India.

Ten other cities in the state also were renamed, with some of them taking on the "u" ending monikers. Mysore, the state's second-largest city, became Mysooru, Tumkur Tumakuru, Chikamagalur Chikamagalooru, and Mangalore Mangalooru.

We have all heard about the growing number of gamblers over these past few years. This is largely due to the growing trend in internet gambling. However, if it is illegal for anyone under 21 to gamble, why are teenagers being able to sign up, open an account, and play online for real money? However, there are some sites out there with software that can detect a real person's age, so why don't they ALL implenment this software? This law should be set straight across the board. There is no question that teens are at the most risk of falling into the habit of internet gambling. Let's put a stop to this before it gets worse!

The government today is looking to prohibit all internet gambling in the U.S., however this will cause more harm than good. We saw it happen in the 1920s when alcohol was prohibited/banned. It will just drive the industry into an illegal criminal element through underground markets. So instead of banning internet gambling altogether, we should have all gambling sites licensed and regulated so that they provide a fair, honest, and reputable atmosphere.

Included in this regulation should provide all gambling sites to implement the software that can detect a real person's age.

The University of Alabama's Graphic Design Program is in need of both software and hardware upgrades. We are currently running Mac OS 9.2, Photoshop 6.0, and QuarkXPress 4.1, to name a few, all of which are now outdated. The iMacs in our lab are unable to support the required upgrade to Mac OS X that is needed to run the new versions of these programs.

In order to keep our programs up-to-date, we need to purchase both new computers and current software. We are requesting the funds to ensure the quality of our students' education.

In 1998 Raven Soft. released their latest installment of the famous Hexen/Heretic-game series. As Heretic II didn't seem to sell well, they haven't started yet the creation of the sequel, we are all waiting for: Hexen III. With their unique atmosphere, decent story and rich level design, both, Hexen and Hexen II belong to the best fantasy action shooters ever made. Hexen III would bring this fantastic, yet forgotten world back to life. So please, sign the petition!

Before people fought each other in 3D PC games, players worked together over LANs and the internet in games like DOOM and DOOM II.

DOOM was one of the most amazing game experiences ever. Working together in such an intense environment as DOOM 3 would be, without a doubt, be one of the most intense internet experiences ever.

Games like Serious Sam have shown that co-op multiplay does not need to be difficult to implement. With this in mind, the PC gaming community asks id Software to please not release DOOM 3 without a co-operative play option.

Warmest regards,
your biggest fans

We as consumers and part of the international online "Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault(TM)" gaming community, express our intention of boycotting the PC CDROM title "Medal of Honor Allied Assault Spearhead(TM)" published by Electronic Arts.

Since the initial release of Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault(TM), a thriving
community of players has developed. This community has now grown to include
thousands of online gamers who regularly join multiplayer servers via the in game browser, GameSpy Arcade or any other 3rd party software.
Despite this, the Publisher/Developers of Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault(TM)
have declined to include an Anti-Cheat for this game, which is riddled with
many 3rd party cheats and hacks such as aimbots, weapons no recoil, see
through wallhacks, no fog, no bushes and trees, and many others...

Punkbuster (http://www.evenbalance.com), a developer of anti-cheat software
is willing to develop an anti-cheat system, but only can do so if EA is
interested in PunkBuster.

We understand the Expansion pack (which includes multiplayer maps) doesn't
include any official form of online anti-cheat, the reason for expressing
our intention to boycott this title.

We, citizens of Europe, ask our representatives in the European Parliament to vote in favour of a European law which will protect European consumers.

This law forces computer manufacturers to supply the operating system on a media (CD-ROM or DVD-ROM) separate from the computer's hardware. Furthermore, this law adds minimal rights concerning the use of operating systems: the operating system must be used on a single computer, but this computer may change over time; the operating system may be installed and used on a laptop computer if the user already owns a licence for a desktop computer. This law must guarantee that the individual has the right to choose, freely, his or her operating system and the computer in which that operating system will be used.

This measure must allow the consumers to reinstall the operating system under the following conditions:

- my hard drive has been destroyed and I have to buy a new one;

- I'm buying a new computer and I certify that my old computer is disabled and that it has not been sold or given to a third party.

We recognise that software publishers have the right to protect themselves against software piracy, but not at the expense of the citizens. They must find a way to counter software piracy which does not have a negative impact on the citizens.

Let's collect 100,000 signatures in United Kingdom, in Ireland, and more than ONE million in Europe.

Many people of the Jedi Knight community immensely enjoyed the new single player levels that others had made. Many of this SP levels and missions, such as the infamous Birth of a Mercenary series and Tales of a Mercenary series, as well as many others, sported great things like new weapons from scratch, completely new AI. Not only did this add more variety, it also allowed for level authors to create outstanding missions and atmospheres, such as recreating original Star Wars characters such as Darth Vader (as seen in some Dark Forces levels).

This petition was created to persuade Raven Software and LucasArts Entertainment Company into releasing a full or partial (at least allowing creation of completely new AI) software development kit (SDK) for the public domain. We as the Jedi Knight/Jedi Outcast community believe it would help to increase the "lifespan" of the Jedi Outcast community in the future, as well as increase profits for all developers and publishers involved.
