Shark Attacks Shock Russian East - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Shark Attacks Shock Russian East
  • MOSCOW — When a young man lost both his arms this week in the waters off Russia’s east coast, officials and residents initially had trouble believing what had happened. But a day later, when a teenager’s legs were ripped up in the same waters, all doubt vanished.

  • coastal Primorsky Krai, along the Sea of Japan.
  • Large sharks have been sighted in the region only rarely, scientists said, and attacks until now were unheard of.
  • The first victim, a 25-year-old computer programmer, had been out for an evening swim with his wife on Wednesday at a popular vacation spot near Russia’s border with North Korea.
  • “It was only about 300 feet,” Ms. Udovenko said, according to the Interfax news agency. “About halfway there, Denis noticed something in the water and screamed, ‘Swim faster, it’s a shark.’ ”
  • Late on Thursday, the Russian news media reported a third attack, citing local residents, though officials did not immediately confirm it.
  • Witnesses gave varying descriptions of the shark, putting its size at 6 to 12 feet long. After reviewing the accounts, several scientists said they believed it was probably a great white.
  • That body of water is home to seals and other shark prey, but not in sufficient densities to sustain large sharks. A hungry great white, lacking its typical prey, Dr. Astakhov said, “could certainly have attacked a human.
  • Another draw for a great white might be water temperature. The waters in the region have been several degrees higher than normal, making a more attractive environment for great whites, according to Mr. Zgurovsky.
  • Russians’ blasé attitude toward danger is a source of national pride, and despite the ban on swimming, local news media reported Thursday that beachgoers continued to take to the water.

Mozilla (Carefully) Slams Apple | ConceivablyTech - 0 views

  • Mozilla (Carefully) Slams Apple
  • Mozilla is having issues especially with Apple
  • heading into a direct confrontation with the mighty Jobs.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Mozilla is carefully circumventing the phrase of “waging war” against the creation of closed or “siloed” environments on the web.
  • competing, but not so by going directly against a rival, but by being “different”
  • That name would be Apple, which Mozilla’s chairman and chief lizard wrangler Mitchell Baker directly addressed in a series of sequential blog posts that outline Mozilla’s future direction. The attacks aren’t as crude and as we typically see between Mozilla and Microsoft. They are much more carefully worded, perhaps in an effort to remain polite and not to raise any unnecessary attention
  • “There’s no reason why “apps” can’t incorporate the characteristics that are important about the web. They don’t today because Apple didn’t build them that way. There’s no reason Apple should; Apple has a different view of the world. But we can. In fact, Mozilla is one of the very few organizations that can do this.”
  • Mozilla has yet to show what it plans to do and leaves us with its vision for now. Mozilla believes that its opportunity is a user’s desire to run anything he wants on any device he owns. Mozilla believes that a user wants to be in charge of his web experience, not Apple, Google or a device. Mozilla believes that a user would want to be in control of her/his identity and the information that is made available. Of course, Mozilla’s model is also based on Firefox and a web browser, which Apple could care less about at this time.
