The "Anything Goes" thread

[KevinJS]

Hi Julie, thanks and good morning, i have seen that thread but didnt have a chance to get in as either i didnt know the answer or it was answered too quickly lol

RIP Steve Jobs 

Feel free to jump in when we leave it open. If I solve a challenge and know that I'll be losing my cell service, I won't post a new challenge. I'll leave it for anyone else who wants to get in. It's informative but it's also fun.

We appear to have gone a bit quiet lately, but this is because we have made a decision not to spam other threads (like this one) with advertisements for the game. We now have a discussion thread where we chat about aspects of the game rather than annoying people who have no wish to play. Here is the link: http://www.ipadforums.net/off-topic/74286-where-world-discussions.html

Yes, Ricky, you are a noob for Where in the World thread! Just leap on in there. I did! You have to keep checking it though! Those boys are fast but we need to keep the members varied.

I don't see why not? I love watching them eat food on the Space station. Very funny! Especially drinking! I have to teach my students about life on the space station

I just saw This on the forum home page;



A new survey from Chitika Insights, as reported on by AppleInsider, says that Apple’s three generations of iPad are responsible for the majority of all tablet Internet traffic. Chitika Insights used the Chitika advertising network’s ad impressions database in its research, finding that 94.64% of all tablet web traffic comes from iPad users. And to illustrate just how emphatic this dominance is, Chitika Insights’ data shows that the second-placed tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, has just 1.22% of all tablet web traffic, with the Asus Transformer Prime tablet coming in third with just 1.2%. As AppleInsider notes, these figures would seem to support data reported by IDC yesterday, which showed that iPad shipments had risen to 68% of the market share in Q1 of 2012, indicating that the current crop of Android tablets have had little effect on Apple’s dominance. However, it’s still relatively early in the year, and we have many new tablets to come onto the market before the year is out. For now though, the iPad still rules the Internet!

So,that means that the 32% of the tablet market held by all non- iPad tablets only accounts for 5.36% of tablet web traffic.I guess that these other tablet owners don't spend very much time at all online with their devices.

Not surprised at all, when i go to car phone warehouse or hmv stores which have many makes of tablets next to each other, the ipad's blow the competition away, the user interface on the android or whatever os the compitition are using are clunky and stuttering and doesnt want to make you buy them.

Kevin and Hayley, thanks, i will make the jump into the where in them world topic

Good morning Ricky! How are you today? I loved my picnic at Tyntesfield yesterday. It was lovely and hot especially in the walled garden. I had to take my coat off - gasp!

This photograph of the Moon during perigee last weekend, was published by China's Xinhua news agency.

The moon's closest distance to Earth this year, coincided with a full moon, making the moon appear 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual.

I saw the moon last night. It was huge and red! I was too tired to take a photo unfortunately.

Unfortunately it was overcast here, but the selection of photos on the news was amazing.

It was rainy here, so no super moon for me to see. Although I did have a great walk to the beach in a light drizzle.

 

[AdmiralAdama]

SuperMoon as seen in Paris.

That's just breath taking.

I keep thinking of a mnemonic which my geography teacher at school, Geoffrey Pass, used. It went something like this.....

As I was walking down the street
I met a morphic changed by heat

Then I walked on up on higher
And saw an igneous made with fire

Then along my path I was led
By a sedimentary and so to bed.

It was something like that.

Mr Pass was a good teacher and liked to use mnemonics verse etc as learning aids. I wonder what he would have made of the where in the world thread, let alone the Internet and Apple!

On the subject of geography teachers, I remember with affection my teacher who made me sit through 2 years of Canadian geography while I was sitting there thinking "What's the point of learning all this stuff about a country I'll probably never even visit."

Eleven years after moving to Canada, I have to admit that he had a point, and his lessons have been somewhat useful.
