Is there any way to get the Whistle phone app to work with a headset/mike? Are there any good wired over-the-ear headset/mikes that work. So, I was going to get a wired headset, but I found a few posts that said that the headset/mike would not disable the built-in mike, making this unworkable. I checked the Whistle FAQ and found that the Whistle app apparently doesn't support Bluetooth (see below). I just learned about the Whistle phone app and like it a lot, but I need to get a headset/mike. ![]()

![]() ![]() That name would later be reused for WindowFX, also created by Banfield. Previous attempts by Stardock had included "Object Look", a minimal skinning application, and "WindowFX", an application written in Delphi. Stardock was looking for a developer to create a window skinning application, and Banfield had already created an application that he called "Window Blinds" in 1997. WindowBlinds started in 1998 when lead developer Neil Banfield teamed up with Stardock. Some UIS2 skins include a UIS1+ subskin if problems occur, this subskin may be substituted as a "per-app" skin. This format offers maximum flexibility at the cost of slightly reduced performance (as compared to UIS1+), and potentially more chance of incompatibility with applications. They may also feature titlebar background animation, or the use of scripting features. Typically these skins may have wider borders in some places, or none at all. The Advanced skin format is provided for when a skin design cannot fit into the above restrictions. Most msstyles can be converted to a UIS1+ skin. The advantages of UIS1+ are performance (Stardock has claimed that a UIS1+ version of the Windows XP "Luna" visual style is twice as fast as the original in repaint and resizing) and compatibility. It is also only possible to put buttons on the titlebar, and scripting and titlebar background animation are not supported. This restriction was significantly relaxed when skin metrics-adjustments to using the standard Windows methods-were introduced, allowing changes to (among other things) the standard height of the titlebar. The main limitation is that skin borders may only be "standard" sizes (four pixels wide for most of the side borders).

A preparation of several demonstration projects we want to show off during the interview works the best. When we're at a career stage without a considerable commercial experience or nice-looking non-profit projects, a presentation of our achievements in a form of repositories is one of the best way to get visible to the recruiters.

But would we use them if they lacked a user-friendly description, that is, a good README? We use the libraries made available by other developers as an open source code or we make our contribution to a project, reporting/fixing bugs, and adding new functionalities. Certainly, we use these projects because they just come in handy, and offer a high quality solution. If we work professionally or learn coding, many times we come across the public repositories. We will focus on a programmer's README, though.Įxample of README for a Bootstrap gem (Ruby On Rails)Īdded README file on GitHub appears under the list of files in a repository.

True love has to take time and effort, which is exactly what you see here. In most movies you see the main characters sleep together within a day at the most, which rarely happens with two people who are really in love. It's romantic, probably the most romantic film I have seen in a long time. The story was decent, but the performances of Travolta, Forest Whitaker, Robert Duvall, and Kyra Sedgwick made me care about what was happening on the screen. In my opinion, John Travolta deserved at least a nomination for an Oscar here, if not the award itself. His state of isolation becomes even more pronounced when his new-found abilities allow him to correctly predict an earthquake, and outside authorities become interested in what's happened to him.Īn ex-girlfriend talked me into seeing this movie, and I am happy she did. Despite his attempts to explain what has happened to him, with just a very few exceptions, most of the local townspeople treat the "new" George as a freak. In the days and weeks that follow, George finds his IQ and consciousness expanding dramatically, and develops telekinetic abilities. He pauses to watch a strange light in the sky, then collapses for a few seconds in the middle of the deserted street. After celebrating his birthday with friends at the local bar/hang-out, George heads for home. John Travolta plays George Malley, who owns the local auto repair shop in a small California town. Phenomenon (1996) is considered one of the best Drama,Fantasy,Romance,Sci-Fi movie in India and around the world. John Travolta,Kyra Sedgwick,Forest Whitaker,Robert Duvall are the starring of this movie. That's the sum of it.Phenomenon (1996) is a Portuguese,Spanish,English movie.

The standout feature, however, is spatial audio. Under the hood are six speaker drivers, four tweeters, and a couple of mid/bass drivers-all of which deliver detailed, big, and confident sound. I won’t be surprised if they venture into video at some point, but because they’ve been singularly bent on perfecting the home audio experience, the product is just darn near perfect.The Sonos Era 300 ( 9/10, WIRED Recommends) has a rather awkward and startling appearance (we think it looks like a robot's butt), but the sound quality makes up for it. What I like about Sonos, though, is their pure focus on music-based products. There’s a lot of competition there, and coming from companies with serious consumer chops, most notable Apple, Google, and Amazon. With their new soundbar, it’ll be interesting to see how Sonos fares in the battle for the living room. But it sure is nice to see the feature come to Sonos. Sure, it’s not rocket science – others have offered this for quite some time. The other much appreciated addition 4.0 is not only the new Android widget (nice) which is available on the home screen (nice), but also the new Sonos now playing icon located in the Android Jelly Bean pull-down notification bar: A new Sonos widget can be accessed on the homescreen, the lock screen, or, as seen here, in the notifications bar on Android Jelly Bean.

I then added a Sonos Play:5 to the office, and another to the bedroom. I had these hardwired when the home was being built- each has individual volume control. I’ve got a Sonos Connect hooked up via a honkin’ Onkyo TX-NR809 receiver (and an Integra amp for more power) to my whole home audio system which consists of 6 pairs of speakers both inside and outside the home. I’ve been using the system for whole home audio for just over a year, and could not be more pleased. For the complete change log see the Sonos site here. ![]() With the 4.0 controller update made available yesterday (check iTunes, Google Play Store, or just check for update from within the app itself) Sonos has added two things I’ve come to already appreciate greatly: universal (“Sonos”) favorites, and a now playing widget on the Jelly Bean pull-down notification screen.
