Filing a patent application, of course, doesn’t necessarily mean that the company plans to use the technology. But the application shows, at the least, that Apple has invested in research to develop what it calls an “enforcement routine” that makes people watch ads they may not want to watch.
Its distinctive feature is a design that doesn’t simply invite a user to pay attention to an ad — it also compels attention. The technology can freeze the device until the user clicks a button or answers a test question to demonstrate that he or she has dutifully noticed the commercial message. Because this technology would be embedded in the innermost core of the device, the ads could appear on the screen at any time, no matter what one is doing.
The system also has a version for music players, inserting commercials that come with an audible prompt to press a particular button to verify the listener’s attentiveness.

“I just can’t tell you how good it is to be back in Michigan,” the former Alaska governor said after getting off the bus carrying her youngest son, Trig. “Alaska and Michigan have so much in common, with the huntin’ and the fishin’ and the hockey moms, and just the hardworking, patriotic Americans who are here.”
Palin took time to shake hands with most of those whose books she signed, something 50-year-old Bill Buckner appreciated after Palin signed books for him and his 21-year-old daughter, Michelle.

I knew I wasn’t crazy. A friend and I were talking about baseball (though I’m not sure why) this past weekend, and he didn’t recall this ever happening. Imagine if it had happened the other way around.

I had been at work for about 30 minutes this morning when I got a text from my mom. She informed me that an old high school friend of mine died last night at the hands of a police taser. This is a picture he took, and this is how I’ll remember him.

My brother often sends me race pics of him and his wife with the hope that I can remove the watermark, or whatever you call it. This is my sister-in-law competing in the D.C. Marathon a few weeks ago. I kind of like this one with the mark as it is. Proof that she did it.
