Sweet Honey Gold Summer Full Moon Setting on Tampa Bay, Florida – IMRAN®
(My 181st Flickr Explore!)
I’m not a morning person. That’s why 99% of my sun photos feature sunsets, not sunrises. But after an inexplicable 43-hour stretch of wakefulness—courtesy of a single, unassuming cup of coffee that somehow outperformed two liters of Pepsi—I finally crashed past midnight, expecting to barely scrape my way to a 9 AM meeting.
Instead, I was up at 5:50 AM. And as I rolled to my left in bed, I saw why.
A luminous, golden honey full moon shimmered through my window, gracefully setting beyond Tampa Bay. It was a sight too beautiful to ignore.
Sleep be damned—I grabbed my iPhone 16 Pro Max, knowing full well that multiple panes of glass would create unavoidable reflections. But capturing the magic mattered more than technical perfection.
I tried Apple Intelligence’s artifact removal, but it botched the scene. Adobe’s PS Express AI cleanup did a far better job. So that’s the image I’m sharing. It’s still a phone camera shot—never meant to reveal every crater on the moon or preserve the water’s perfect texture. Reducing exposure further would erase the bay entirely.
It’s not a masterpiece of photography. It’s a moment of magic—fleeting, yet full of peace, tranquility, grace, gratitude, and prayer.
Thank you, God.

PS: So much for catching up on sleep.
according to the brochure, Willard Scott and Martha Stewart think they have the country's best biscuits. For some reason, my wife and I weren't that impressed with them. UPDATE: The previous sentence was made after my first visit which must have been a bad night. We went again and they were great.
If you've never heard of the Loveless Cafe, it's located just outside of Nashville in the small town of Pasquo, TN on state Highway 100 close to the northern end of the Natchez Trace Parkway.

The Stilzkin Igniz is a tracked articulated, all-terrain carrier developed by Stilzkin Inc. for the Russian Army. It is mostly used for (troop) transport, it's not designed to be used in combat. It consists of two units, with all four tracks powered. It can carry up to 17 people (6 in the front compartment, 11 in the rear), although the trailer unit can be adapted for different applications. (Ambulance, flatbed cargo carrier, tactical operations center...) Its low ground pressure makes it suitable for all kinds of difficult terrain like bogs and snow. The red version seen in the video is a civilian variant. It was stripped of most of it's armour and outfitted with a better engine to take part in offroad competitions.

Apple Ignored Warning on Address-Book Access
www.technologyreview.com/communications/39746/page1/
Tom Simonite
February 16, 2012
The company knew in 2010 that an app was grabbing users' personal information.
Apple was warned as long ago as 2010 that the popular Gowalla location-sharing iPhone app was uploading users' address books without alerting them, Technology Review has learned.
This raises questions about why Apple didn't do then what it announced it would do yesterday. In a statement, the company said software upgrades for iPhones would be issued to protect users from the practice, which is forbidden.
Apple's statements follow a series of revelations over the past week concerning apps that access users' address books. The revelations began when an independent developer discovered that the two-million-user-strong social network Path collects users' address books, assembling vast collections of names, e-mails, and phone numbers without consent. Others found that some other popular apps, including the location-sharing services Foursquare and Gowalla, do the same. Transmitting and storing users' address books exposes them to an increased risk of their personal data being leaked, perhaps through an attack like the one that extracted credit-card details from Sony last year.
The criticism that followed these discoveries—compounded by evidence that Apple ignored a warning about such behavior from academic researchers in 2010—has led to calls for the company to alter iOS and reform its famously opaque application approval process.
In the longer term, all smart-phone operating systems may need more effective privacy controls to better explain what personal data they collect, and to let users opt out. Google's Android mobile operating system already requires apps to receive explicit permission to access contact books or other private data, but app makers do not need to explain how that information will be stored or used, and many users seem not to fully understand what they are handing over.
In 2010, graduate student Manuel Egele and colleagues at the University of California, Santa Barbara, used a tool called PiOS to scan 1,400 iPhone applications for signs that they leaked sensitive user data. PiOS flagged Gowalla's app because it stealthily uploaded a user's entire address book to the company's servers when a user viewed his or her list of phone contacts through the app.
That was a clear breach of user privacy, and of Apple's own rules for inclusion in the App Store, says Egele, now a postdoctoral researcher at UCSB. But when Apple was contacted about it, a series of representatives showed little interest, he says. "We even took screenshots that showed it was being sent unencrypted," he says. "They said, 'If you have a privacy concern, you should contact the developer.' " Egele and colleagues presented a peer-reviewed paper on the work, including an account of their Gowalla finding, last year.
Apple did not reply to inquiries about the 2010 incident. But its first public statement on the address-book saga, made yesterday, implied that it had only just become aware of the issue.
Sooner or later, Apple may have to make more significant changes, says Ty Rollin, chief technology officer of Mobiquity, a large app development agency in Wellesley, Massachusetts. The existing design of iOS made what Path and others did "easy," he says, and it doesn't seem to safeguard personal data. Apple should add detailed privacy settings that provide fine-grained control over what different apps can do with the data on a phone, similar to those provided for Facebook apps, says Rollins. "That needs to happen to phones, too," he says. "I don't know why they're taking this piecemeal approach now. Maybe they were trying to maintain this pristine interface."
Apple has a reputation for tightly controlling what users can do with their mobile devices and for enforcing strict rules on which apps are permitted into the App Store. Yet in the case of Path, and some other apps, it did not seem to impose those rules. That is problematic, because Apple has chosen to rely on those rules to protect users from an app's behavior, rather than on technical features built into iOS. Technically, an iOS app could access other personal data, including photos, music playlists, recently viewed videos, and a device's unique IMEI identifier, which can be used for ad tracking. No one has yet reported that any popular apps improperly use that data, however.
Within the startup community, ready access to user data has been seen as a powerful tool, says Aza Raskin, cofounder of mobile health startup Massive Health. That perception may now change. "The more you know about someone, the better the feature set can be," he says. "Privacy is sadly something that most people don't think about [because] there isn't enough consumer demand." Path and others copied address books so they could inform their users when friends also joined and encourage more use of their social networks.
Apple's aura of control may have convinced developers, security researchers, and users that personal data was being handled properly. "We're seeing some of the disadvantages of a closed ecosystem," says Raskin. "If that was a Web product, this would have been discovered long ago."
Google takes the opposite approach with the Android Market. It doesn't actively vet apps, but instead has built features into the operating system that make the data that apps can access transparent to a user. In practice, however, this may not provide much better protection than iOS does.
Although an Android user is asked to approve the data that an Android app can access, many people hurriedly tap "OK" rather than reading that list as they rush to try out their new app, says Adrienne Porter Felt of the University of California, Berkeley. She and colleagues are writing up the results of a study of how people handle Android app permissions. "Most people don't pay attention to them. A small amount of people do, about 17 percent," says Porter Felt. Studies on security warnings in browsers and on Microsoft Windows have shown that repeated exposure to such warnings dulls their impact.
There are 174 different types of permission that Android apps are required to ask for, says Porter Felt, compared to just two on iOS—for apps that want location access or that want to send push notifications.
Raskin of Massive Health says that Apple now has an incentive to develop a fundamentally new method of user privacy controls—one that does not bombard them with dialogs or present a complex panel of options. "This is something where they can really push the bar forward."
Apple may be motivated by more than the bad press triggered by the Path case. Two members of the U.S. House of Representative's Energy and Commerce Committee wrote to Apple CEO Tim Cook yesterday to ask a series of questions about the access that apps can have to users' contact data. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has become increasingly interested in what tech companies do with user data in recent years, and it could conceivably decide that Apple has neglected its responsibility to protect users. Last autumn, both Google and Facebook agreed to 20 years of regular privacy audits by the FTC after the commission charged them, separately, of "deceptive" use of private data.

A deluxe mid-century fridge, its double-doors swung wide to reveal many groceries. Before it stands a demon, suspending a screaming man by the hair from one taloned hand. One of the fridge's panels has been replaced with the hostile red eye of HAL 9000 from Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' In the background is a 'code waterfall' effect as seen in the credit sequences of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies.
