American Idol Season 10 Winners 2011

There are six current winners in American Idol Season 10?
Last night was the Carole King night.
each of the finalists performed their favorite Carole King song
I have ordered the performances in the order I believe best down.

James Durbin: “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” – James has been “in it to win it”
Casey Abrams: “Hi-De-Ho That Old Sweet Roll”
Scotty McCreery: “You’ve Got a Friend”
Haley Reinhart: “Beautiful”
Lauren Alaina: “Where You Lead”
Jacob Lusk: “Oh No Not My Baby”

In the meantime The Voice on NBC appears to be going strong with a rebroadcast during Idol of their first episode where contestants start to perform and the judges are turned with their backs to the performers as soon as the hear something they like they turn around indicated they want to work with the performer, if more than one spins, they judges compete to see who can convince the performer to work with them.

where’s Waldo?
Penny Marsh was behind Randy

In the meantime where’s Pia?

Apple iPhone Location Tracking – Can you access?

The story is very confusing coming from Apple. On one hand they say they don’t track, on the other they are releasing an update in coming weeks. The database is built and it is available. One update away from making it available to someone who really wants it.

Some of you are wondering, well how do I get access to this data for my own personal use, is there an app I can use that tracks my movements?

You can do it:

iPhone Tracker

This open-source application maps the information that your iPhone is recording about your movements. It doesn’t record anything itself, it only displays files that are already hidden on your computer.

Download the application

How do you feel about it?

Does this change how you feel about owning and having geolocation services turned on?

So Apple is releasing a patch?

—————————————————————————–

This from Dow Jones Newswire:

Apple Inc. (AAPL) defended the location information-gathering process it uses via the iPhone and unveiled a planned software update to scale back such practices.

The company and Google Inc. (GOOG) have faced increased scrutiny for their practices involving the collection and storage of smartphone users’ location information. Last week, researchers found that Apple’s iPhones store unencrypted databases containing location information that sometimes stretch back several months.

The Wall Street Journal has reported that iPhones, as well as smartphones operating on Google’s Android platform, regularly transmit their locations back to the respective companies.

Apple said Wednesday it is not tracking the location to iPhones, has never done so and has no plans to ever do so.

“Users are confused, partly because the creators of this new technology [including Apple] have not provided enough education about these issues to date,” the company said in a statement.

Apple said it maintains a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers around users’ locations, a process that helps the phone calculate its location when such information is requested. The company downloads a subset, or cache, of the database on each phone. The cache is “protected but not encrypted,” and backed up on iTunes whenever users back up their iPhones, the company said.

Apple said it would release an iPhone software update in the next few weeks that reduces the size of the database cached on the phone, ceases backing up the cache and deletes the cache entirely when location services is turned off.

The statement came alongside announcements that the white iPhone 4 will be available Thursday, and that the second-generation iPad arrives in Japan, Hong Kong, and other new markets this week.

Google Inc. (GOOG) last week defended its information location-gathering practices. U.S. lawmakers have invited representatives of the companies to attend a hearing on privacy next month following the claims they regularly track users locations and store data.

Your search for delicious caramels is over once you have tried Le Bon Garcon caramels.

Le Bon Garcon was at the recent Artisanal LA Spring Show in Santa Monica Place.

Here’s a picture of the creator:

Justin pictured with his helper at the Artisanal LA 2011 Spring Show.

There are three flavors of caramels, which keeps things simple, Macadamia Nut, Mango-Passionfruit, and Salted and they are all very very good.

Available as separately or as an assortment. Prices are $5 for 2oz, $10 for 4oz and $18 for 8oz.

An assortment of all of our caramels–Macadamia Nut, Mango-Passionfruit, and Salted.

Place your order here:

Here’s some info on Justin from his site:

Hand Crafted in Los Angeles

In order to create the highest quality product possible, Le Bon Garçon uses only the best quality ingredients available and uses no preservatives. Le Bon Garçon uses Plugra butter in order to give its products the flavor and scent that is characteristic of high-quality European butter.
Le Bon Garcon hand-makes, hand-stirs, and hand-wraps its caramels in order to achieve the best quality product. From start to finish, everything is prepared in the artisanal French manner.

We hope you enjoy our caramels!

 

 

Justin’s passion for food started as a child, watching his Chinese-American mother in the kitchen preparing dinner. Justin grew up in Westlake Village, California, where there were no Chinese grocery stores. Out of necessity, Justin’s mother created dishes from ingredients that were available to her. His mother’s inventive style of cooking combined traditional Chinese food with American comfort food and gave Justin the creative instincts that make him a successful patissier.

Justin studied architecture at the UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design which provided him with the design skills and the attention to detail needed to be a successful pastry chef. Always feeling more at home in front of the oven than the drafting table, Justin found himself drawn to a career in the culinary arts. Justin took pastry classes for fun, and studied abroad in Paris. Inspired by the culinary work of Parisian greats such as Pierre Hermé and Gerard Mulot, Justin decided to take the leap as a pastry chef.
