Windows on an Android tablet

If your talking about traditional Windows like XP and 7, the processor architecture it totally different. That's what Windows RT is about.

So if you want to run Windows 7 on your Nexus I think you're out of luck.

Android is Linux, which supports

Alpha, ARC, ARM, AVR32, Blackfin, C6x, ETRAX CRIS, FR-V, H8/300, Hexagon, Itanium, M32R, m68k, META, Microblaze, MIPS, MN103, OpenRISC, PA-RISC, PowerPC, s390, S+core, SuperH, SPARC, TILE64, Unicore32, x86, Xtensa (Wiki)

Traditional Windows supports x86.

Florida's 2013 sales tax holiday now includes iPads and computers

Aquarius

If you're organizing a social event, people will soon cut up rough if they don't like what you're suggesting. For instance, there could be a dispute about how much things will cost, with someone using this as an excuse to have a mini-tantrum or dredge up past grievances. You may also meet resentment through someone who wants what you've got. Or maybe you're feeling jealous of what they've got?

2013 Fantasy Football: TE PPR Rankings (1-25)

1. Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints
Outlook: Graham?s projections closely resemble his 2011 campaign, where he emerged as the NFC?s best tight end. Considering Rob Gronkowski?s uncertain health, Graham?s position as fantasy football?s top tight end is unchallengeable in all leagues.

Projections: 96 receptions, 1,274 receiving yards, 10 touchdowns, & 1 fumble

2. Tony Gonzalez, Atlanta Falcons
Outlook: Fantasy players rejoiced when Gonzalez postponed his retirement for at least one more season. The 37-year-old tight end is still among the NFL?s elite and that?s true under both PPR and standard scoring.

Projections: 89 receptions, 951 receiving yards, & 7 touchdowns

3. Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys
Outlook: Under PPR rules, Witten is one of three tight ends projected to score over 200 points.

Projections: 92 receptions, 973 receiving yards, & 4 touchdowns

4. Kyle Rudolph, Minnesota Vikings
Outlook: The Vikings start and end with Adrian Peterson, but Rudolph is slowly emerging as one of their best players. This third-year tight end is poised to set career highs in both receptions and receiving yards.

Projections: 64 receptions, 581 receiving yards, & 9 touchdowns

5. Brandon Myers, N.Y. Giants
Outlook: Myers led the Raiders in receiving last season, and he figures to be a key cog in New York?s passing attack this season. While it?s unlikely he?ll match his 79 catches from 2012, he?s still an excellent option for PPR leagues.?

Projections: 67 receptions, 769 receiving yards, 5 touchdowns, & 1 fumble

6. Greg Olsen, Carolina Panthers
Outlook: After being underutilized in Chicago, Olsen had a breakout year in 2012. His numbers could dip a little, but overall, there?s nothing to indicate a major drop in production.

Projections: 62 receptions, 769 receiving yards, 5 touchdowns, & 1 fumble

7. Jermichael Finley, Green Bay Packers
Outlook: A terrible start caused many fantasy players to lose patience with Finley. His second half was better, but he?s yet to fulfill his true potential, which makes him fantasy?s most frustrating tight end.

Projections: 58 receptions, 783 receiving yards, & 5 touchdowns

8. Brandon Pettigrew, Detroit Lions
Outlook: Pettigrew has two seasons of 70 or more catches, including 83 in ?11. While he?s not a big-play producer, the former first-round pick can move the chains, making him a potential back-end TE1.

Projections: 72 receptions, 689 receiving yards, 4 touchdowns, & 1 fumbleRob Gronkowski

9. Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots
Outlook: It?s hard to believe that Gronkowski?s a judgment call, but that?s exactly where we are. I wouldn?t advocate taking him off your board entirely, as I believe he?ll be of use in November and December, but his injury status makes him a risky pick, nonetheless.

Projections: 44 receptions, 624 receiving yards, & 9 touchdowns

10. Owen Daniels, Houston Texans
Outlook: When healthy, Daniels is a very viable fantasy tight end. His injuries do appear to be a thing of the past (for now), so he?s back into TE1 territory.

Projections: 57 receptions, 696 receiving yards, & 4 touchdowns

11. Vernon Davis, San Francisco 49ers
Outlook: The 49ers just don?t operate an offense that tailors to tight ends. As a result, Davis? projections aren?t as high as you?d expect, despite his pedigree.

Projections: 55 receptions, 651 receiving yards, 5 touchdowns, & 1 fumble

12. Heath Miller, Pittsburgh Steelers
Outlook: After tearing his ACL late in the season, Miller enters ?13 with health concerns. He?s a proven TE1 when healthy, but like Gronkowski, you?ll have to weigh risk versus reward.

Projections: 48 receptions, 533 receiving yards, & 7 touchdowns

13. Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers
Outlook: Thanks to injuries and declining play, Gates hasn?t caught 70 passes in a season since ?09. He was once arguably the top tight end in football, but that?s no longer the case.

Projections: 46 receptions, 602 receiving yards, & 6 touchdowns

14. Joel Dreessen, Denver Broncos
Outlook: A good underneath target, Dreessen holds more value in PPR leagues then under standard scoring. Nevertheless, Peyton Manning will devote most of his attention to arguably the NFL?s best trio of receivers.

Projections: 52 receptions, 432 receiving yards, & 7 touchdowns

15. Martellus Bennett, Chicago Bears
Outlook: One of football?s most athletic tight ends, Bennett does offer upside now that Marc Trestman is running Chicago?s offense. With that said, Jay Cutler needs to do a better job at spreading around the ball.

Projections: 55 receptions, 580 receiving yards, & 4 touchdowns

16. Marcedes Lewis, Jacksonville Jaguars
Outlook: The Jaguars? awful quarterback situation prevents Lewis from re-emerging as a potential fantasy starter.

Projections: 48 receptions, 641 receiving yards, & 4 touchdowns

17. Jermaine Gresham, Cincinnati Bengals
Outlook: Drafting Tyler Eifert was more than just about the future. Cincinnati definitely wants to use both tight ends, though neither projects to emerge as anything but a TE2.

Projections: 54 receptions, 615 receiving yards, 4 touchdowns, & 2 fumbles

18. Scott Chandler, Buffalo Bills
Outlook: The good news is Chandler projects to catch a personal best 47 passes. The bad news is 47 catches would be Chandler?s personal best.

Projections: 47 receptions, 581 receiving yards, 5 touchdowns, & 1 fumble

19. Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles
Outlook: Given the ambiguity surrounding Chip Kelly?s offense, Ertz, like all of Philadelphia?s pass catchers,? is only worth monitoring through the first month of the season.

Projections: 47 receptions, 515 receiving yards, & 4 touchdowns

20. Tyler Eifert, Cincinnati Bengals
Outlook: Like Ertz, I?d keep an eye on Eifert throughout the season, but both rookies are probably a year away before emerging on the fantasy scene.

Projections: 48 receptions, 580 receiving yards, 3 touchdowns, & 1 fumble

21. Dwayne Allen, Indianapolis Colts
Outlook: With Allen and Coby Fleener, the Colts have a pair of young tight ends. The latter is more renowned because of his draft status (and ties to Andrew Luck), but Allen had the better rookie campaign.

Projections: 52 receptions, 576 total yards (10 rushing), & 2 touchdowns

22. Brent Celek, Philadelphia Eagles
Outlook: Kelly would prefer to use younger, more athletic tight ends. You may want to take the same approach, if drafting Celek is under your consideration.

Projections: 47 receptions, 617 receiving yards, & 2 touchdowns

23. Dustin Keller, Miami Dolphins
Outlook: Don?t anticipate a resurgence for Keller in Miami, as Joe Philbin will use his wide receivers in the passing game.

Projections: 45 receptions, 497 receiving yards, & 4 touchdowns

24. Jared Cook, St. Louis Rams
Outlook: Cook?s been one of football?s biggest underachievers. He has immense talent, but he?s never had more than 49 catches in a season. With that said, I was little surprised to see him this low, and even more surprised to see him project outside of the top 25 under standard scoring.

Projections: 43 receptions, 521 receiving yards, 4 touchdowns, & 1 fumble

25. Jordan Cameron, Cleveland Browns
Outlook: Because of Cleveland?s shaky quarterback play, Cameron doesn?t figure to emerge as anything more than a backup.

Projections: 45 receptions, 535 receiving yards, & 3 touchdowns

Scoring Key
1 point per reception
1 point per 10 yards receiving
1 point per 10 yards rushing
6 points per touchdown
-2 points per fumble

Petron Energy II, Inc. Reports Update on LaNina and Covenant Wells in Its Oklahoma Properties

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - Aug 1, 2013) - Petron Energy II, Inc. (OTCBB: PEII) reports update on LaNina #2 and Covenant #5 wells in its Oklahoma properties.

Petron Energy II, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the acquisition and development of properties for the production of crude oil and natural gas, transporting natural gas through its pipeline subsidiary and well servicing through its servicing subsidiary, in the United States.

Floyd Smith, President and CEO of Petron Energy II, Inc. states, "In our July 11, 2013, press release we stated we expected to report production news on the LaNina #2 and Covenant #5 wells in 10 days. We had a temporary setback that has been addressed. This slight delay restarted our adjustment period to determine the optimal production level for each well. Our salt water injection well experienced mechanical problems and shut down. We ordered the parts needed to repair the injection well and took delivery of all parts three days after placing our order and fixed the problem."

Smith goes on to say, "We have placed both wells back online and have begun to make adjustments to both wells which is typical during this period as we seek to determine what will be the most acceptable level of production for each well. We have great expectations for each well, so getting this right is critical to our company and we will leave no stone unturned while working to maximize the production potential for each well."

Smith further states, "As we mentioned in our last press release if each well experiences the type of production results as the Potis and TJS adjacent wells which produced 70 and 50 BO/D respectively, it would make our LaNina and Covenant wells the largest producing wells in Petron II's history. We will report updated production news for the LaNina #2 and Covenant #5 as soon as it is available."

Petron Energy II, Inc. is a Dallas-based, oil and gas exploration and production company. For further information about the Company, please visit our website www.petronenergyii.com.

Kiks Add Stickers and Third-Party Games - The Next Web

Kik, the messaging service with more than 50 million registered users, has been vocal with its plans to introduce third-party games and content at some point, and now the moment has come after the?Canada-headquartered startup quietly updated its iOS?and Android apps to add stickers and its first third-party game (from Zynga).

Rich-emoticon-like stickers are fast becoming a global craze,?having netted Japanese app Line?$17 million in revenue?earlier this year, while Path has seen financial gains from stickers too. Social gaming platforms ? which hook titles in to messaging apps to allow for multi-player games and social sharing ? are also generating money, and Line?s own gaming service is a major reason it is tipped to make $85 million in revenue during Q2 2013.

It isn?t just Line that is making money. Korea?s Kakao Talk grossed $311 million from games alone in the first half of 2013. These successes led Tango to become the first US-based messenger to introduce games in June, although Kik?s games platform is more open than to the others? because it is HTLM5-based.

Zygna, while a company in turmoil, remains a huge name in the mobile gaming space, and this is the first time that it has created a game for a mobile messaging platform, Kik confirms.

Kik has provided its own games?for some time, and titles from TreSensa, a one-year old company that specializes in HTML5 (cross-platform) games and recently raised a $1 million angel funding round, will come soon, according to the app update.

The Zynga game is ?One Word?, in which users solve word puzzles based on images. Scores and challenges can be shared with friends on Kik. It isn?t a blockbuster like other Zynga games, but it is an interesting partnership and the exclusivity hints at more releases in the future.

game kik 730x539 Kik introduces stickers and third party games, starting with Zyngas first title for a messaging app

Kik?s sticker shop is somewhat hidden and can be accessed within the emoticon section of a chat window.

Currently the service offers three sticker packs, one for free and two others priced at ?1.49 (it appears to be $1.99, but we can?t confirm US pricing just yet.) The sets include South Park, which look like another exclusive for Kik.

stickers kik 730x539 Kik introduces stickers and third party games, starting with Zyngas first title for a messaging app

Landing a Zynga exclusive is certainly a very interesting development. Zynga has made (and arguably lost, to a point) its fortune on social gaming, so its decision to explore messaging apps is a sizable validation for the industry as a content platform, and obviously also Kik as a service.

The startup made a move towards games and content when it launched its HTML5 ?Cards? platform last November, allowing users to pull up YouTube videos, sketch, search images and more from inside the app. Speaking at the time,?Livingston admitted the move was a first step towards finally monetizing the service.

Kik isn?t providing comment on its new app update ? although it has confirmed some aspects of the new features to us ? but Livingston has made it very clear that gaming is a part of Kik?s future in the past. During an interview with TNW back in April,?he said:

The success of Kakao Talk and our own game shows the potential. Every games company in the world has reached out to us, and we?re working with a number of gaming companies to build a mobile-only platform.

April saw the company net $19.5 million in fresh funding to power its move into content, and we shall see how this is used to further today?s developments.

With stickers and gaming primarily finding adoption and drawing revenue in Asia to date, it will be interesting to see how Kik?s user base ? which is predominantly in North America and Europe ? will receive the new features.

Facebook added free stickers to its service this year, and it just launched a new program that sees it work closely with game makers on mobile.

Christie swings back at ?Washington politician? Rand Paul: It?s your state that?s vacuuming up federal tax dollars, not mine

posted at 3:41 pm on July 30, 2013 by Allahpundit

Paul needled him last night on Hannity?s show for taking a ?gimme, gimme, gimme? attitude towards federal spending on Sandy relief. Here?s Christie needling him back by accusing Paul and his home state of Kentucky of being a couple of deadbeats:

?I find it interesting that Sen. Paul is accusing us of having a ?gimme, gimme, gimme? attitude towards federal spending when in fact New Jersey is a donor state and we get 61 cents back on every dollar we send to Washington,? Christie said. ?And interestingly, Kentucky gets $1.51 on every dollar they send to Washington. So if Sen. Paul wants to start looking at where he?s going to cut spending to afford defense, maybe he should start cutting the pork barrel spending that he brings home to Kentucky??

David Frum made a similar point this morning before Christie spoke. If you look at this Economist chart of federal spending and revenue per state from 1990 to 2009, New Jersey was the third biggest net exporter of tax dollars while Kentucky was the 13th biggest net importer. Christie, who accepted a temporary (but not permanent) expansion of Medicaid under ObamaCare, ain?t the guy to be attacking Paul on spending, but that?s the point here: He?s trying to inoculate himself from the damaging big-spender charge in the 2016 primaries by arguing that even libertarians like their tax money. The kicker is his dismissal of Paul as a ?Washington politician,? which is ? not the way most people think of Rand. But that?s strategic too. The rap on Christie two years from now will be that he?s the champion of the Republican establishment (which is true). This is him trying to muddy those perceptions by arguing that even the famously anti-establishment tea-party senator is really just a big ol? Beltway parasite at heart.

Anyway, the takeaway is that both of these men must run for president. We want these debates. We need these debates. In fact, one X factor with Christie is whether his willingness to throw punches at grassroots heroes will end up helping him or hurting him with the centrists he?s targeting in the primaries. I agree with Dan McLaughlin that the real winners in this brawl are Rubio, Cruz, and Walker because space is being cleared in the center-right between Christie and Paul for one (or more) of them, but who knows? (Here?s a smart counter-take.) An ?angry RINO? charging at rivals on the right would be a novel thing for a GOP primary; normally the RINO is a hapless figure like Romney who tolerates being dumped on by grassroots righties because he knows he needs conservatives in the general election and doesn?t want to alienate them by firing back. Christie might figure that he?ll do well enough with centrist Democrats as nominee that he can afford to lose a few stalwart conservatives. I think he?s wrong about that, if so, but either way, these primaries will be dynamite.
