Brundage Mountain Resort has a special place in the hearts of Idaho snow lovers. Snow conditions are consistently outstanding, which is why Brundage Mountain has earned the reputation for the Best Snow in Idaho™. It's no secret that the snow is deep and the lift lines are usually short. The mountain gets frequent storms, so skiers and boarders can cruise on freshly groomed runs or search for powder stashes in the trees and bowls.
For beginners, Brundage is one of the best mountains in Idaho to learn on—the drive-up daycare and Kid's Center makes it easy to get the whole family where they need to go. The Easy Street double chair and Bear Chair triple provide easy access to beginner and advanced beginner terrain close to the Kid's Center.
A majority of the luxuriously wide groomed runs are rated for intermediates, but experts who like to head off-trail have endless options. Shoot over to the north side of the mountain to Hidden Valley (follow the expert only signs) and go big. Real powder hounds will want to try the backcountry snow-cat program which operates on 18,000 acres of Payette National Forest.
Visit Brundage and you'll pick up on that authentic Idaho feeling. Just eight miles away, the town of McCall will impress you with its friendly, low-key vibe.
Brundage Mountain has recently acquired ownership of 488 acres at the base area, and future plans include brand-new base area facilities and ski-in, ski-out lodging.
With the best snow in Idaho, a family atmosphere, affordable prices, friendly people, and an uncrowded powder experience, Brundage is a true snowrider's mountain, poised to become a favorite destination resort.

NEW YORK — Steven A. Cohen faces what could be an end to his career as one of Wall Street's most profitable money men after his hedge fund agreed to plead guilty to charges of criminal insider trading.
SAC Capital Advisors becomes the first major financial firm in a generation to admit criminal conduct and agreed to pay a record $1.2 billion in penalties. The government's dogged pursuit of Cohen's hedge fund essentially puts the company out of the business of managing money for outside investors.
Although prosecutors stopped short of charging Cohen himself, his fund's guilty plea — announced Monday in New York — marks a stunning reversal of fortune for one of Wall Street's most successful stars. He may still be able to manage his own money in the fund.
"This guy was a titan," said Dominic Auld, a securities lawyer at Labaton Sucharow in New York. "That reputation is now utterly in tatters, whether or not they get him."
The high-profile takedown of SAC sends another salvo to Wall Street that federal prosecutors and regulators will continue their crackdown on financial fraud. The government has been blamed for not being aggressive enough against bankers and traders after the financial crisis, or catching wrongdoers like Bernard Madoff in the early stages of his epic Ponzi scheme.
The Justice Department is said to be just days away from finalizing a $13-billion settlement with JPMorgan Chase & Co. over questionable mortgage-backed securities it sold in the run-up to the financial crisis.
There are also reports that U.S. attorneys launched three more civil probes into Bank of America Corp.'s mortgage-backed securities business, according to reports. Two weeks ago, a federal jury in New York found BofA liable for civil fraud over conduct by Countrywide Financial Corp., the Calabasas lender it acquired during the housing crisis.
"No institution should rest easy in the belief that it is too big to jail," said Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan whose office brought the indictment against Cohen's firm. "That is a moral hazard that a just society can ill afford."
Under the plea deal unveiled Monday, SAC Capital would plead guilty to five charges of wire and securities fraud. The agreement requires new compliance procedures to be approved by a government-appointed consultant.
The deal, which must be approved by federal judges, calls for a total of $1.8 billion in penalties to resolve the criminal case as well as a parallel civil case. SAC Capital is on the hook to pay $1.2 billion of that; the firm received a $616 million credit for penalties already paid to the SEC in a related civil insider-trading case.
SAC Capital is banned from handing down any of the penalty costs to its investors, according to the deal. It also calls for an "orderly wind down" of SAC's investments to "minimize any market disruption."
Bharara was careful to note that the agreement provides no one immunity from prosecution, and he said the investigation was continuing.
The Stamford, Conn., hedge fund said in a statement that it takes "responsibility for the handful of men who pleaded guilty and whose conduct gave rise to SAC's liability."
"These wrongdoers do not represent the 3,000 honest men and women who have worked at the firm during the past 21 years," the statement said. "Even one person crossing the line into illegal behavior is too many and we greatly regret this conduct occurred."
The firm previously admitted that several employees were fired after being accused of trading stocks based on insider tips. Those allegations were the crux of the government's investigation that culminated in a 41-page indictment filed against SAC Capital in July.
The Justice Department accused the $15-billion hedge fund of an unprecedented "deep and wide" illegal trading operation that cheated the investing public of "hundreds of millions of dollars." At the time, Wall Street analysts said the move sounded a death knell for a firm that had been posting blockbuster average annual returns of nearly 30% since 1992.
The stratospheric success of SAC — which are Cohen's initials — made a rich man out of the money manager. The stellar returns helped the man who grew up in blue-collar Long Island amass a personal wealth estimated at $9 billion, and all the perks that go along with it. He lives a lavish life even by billionaire standards. His 35,000-square-foot Connecticut mansion has an ice skating rink with a Zamboni machine.
His influence extends to the West Coast. Cohen, a major art collector, sits on the Museum of Contemporary Art's board. He helped bankroll an unsuccessful bid to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers two years ago.
Cohen himself has not faced the threat of prison, and he has repeatedly denied wrongdoing. His spokesman did not respond to requests for comment.
But although the government has not accused him of participating in insider-trading, legal experts say prosecutors do not appear to be finished trying to snag Cohen.
"They've been on the hunt, for sure," said Richard Holwell, a former federal judge who oversaw major insider-trading cases before leaving the bench to start his own law firm in New York. "They don't have the goods to go after and indict Mr. Cohen, but that's hardly an insurance policy for Mr. Cohen."
The federal government's pursuit of SAC Capital carries echoes of prosecutors' epic campaign two decades ago against investment firm Drexel Burnham Lambert and junk-bond guru Michael Milken in Beverly Hills. Drexel pleaded guilty and wound up folding.
Milken eventually pleaded guilty to six felonies, but not to insider trading. He spent two years in prison for the crimes and emerged to rehabilitate his reputation with philanthropic work.
Like Milken, Cohen certainly might be able to orchestrate his own comeback regardless of whether the government pursues criminal charges against him.
Although SAC Capital will no longer invest others' money, the plea deal would effectively transform the mammoth hedge fund into a so-called family office managing Cohen's own fortune.
"He's going to happily play the market on his own," said John Coffee, a securities law expert at Columbia University. "There are worse fates. He won't starve."
Cohen's future might hinge on two of his former SAC portfolio managers who are set to go on trial in coming weeks on insider-trading charges of their own. Either of the former managers — Michael Steinberg and Mathew Martoma, who have pleaded not guilty — could potentially strike a deal with prosecutors in exchange for cooperating against Cohen, if there is indeed anything to offer.

When I go to certain websites where it's important for me to know that I'm connected securely, certain browsers will say that the site failed the authenticity check. Firefox won't say anything, but even though Firefox is my favorite browser, I don't completely trust it lol.
I've been having a problem with security and hackers, so it's important that I can determine with a high degree of certainty whether or not the site is authentic, and why some browsers are saying it's not but Firefox says it is.
It appears that the site I'm connecting to has four certificates, and one of them was not signed by any trusted security authority.
How do I go about figuring this out, which tools do I use?
Edit: Here is the example that was asked for. As you can see, there are four certificates. The fourth one is the one that failed.

ONLINE SEARCH engine leader Google recently unveiled a new feature that will enable its users to access satellite images by address.
Though you won't be able to spy on the neighbors or check your crops with Google, the satellite technology, which is available at maps.google.com, is still somewhat informative. When you log on, a more traditional map is the first choice that appears. You have the option of retrieving a satellite picture by clicking on a button. Just type in your address or the name of your favorite town. Arrows on the screen let you scan across the landscape or zoom in and out.
The Google images are generally six to 12 months old and don't zoom in as tight in rural areas as they do in cities. In fact, you won't be able to learn much from the phtos, except maybe where roads, buildings and the edges of fields are in relation to one another. The free aerial perspective might be most useful for identifying large features such as encroaching urban sprawl or field proximity to bodies of water.

First published in 'Solander' Vol 7 No 1, May 2003, pages 4-6 (published by the Historical Novel Society). Many thanks to Alan Fisk for allowing me to include it in my blog. Thanks to Jim Poulton for the illustrations.
In October 2002, Imperial Governor, a novel about the Boudiccan revolt against the Romans in 61 A.D., was republished after being out of print for many years. [A review of Imperial Governor appeared in The Historical Novels Review, Issue 22, December 2002 and see also a review at Historical Novels Info.]
For its author, George Shipway, becoming a historical novelist was a third career, which he started late, and which lasted for only a few years. In that relatively short time, though, he established himself as a noted and sometimes controversial writer.
He died in 1982, but his wife still lives in the cottage in Berkshire that they first moved into in 1949. She has given Solander invaluable help with this article.
George Shipway was born in 1908 in Allahabad, India, where his father was a publisher. In accordance with the custom of that time, George was sent to England at the age of eight to go to boarding school at Clifton.
After leaving school, he became a cadet at Sandhurst, the Army's academy for future officers. Sandhurst trained cadets for both the British Army, and the Indian Army, which was the one for which George Shipway was destined. He used to claim in later life that the only reason he had joined the Army was so that he could play polo, which he would not have been able to afford to do as a civilian!
After Sandhurst, he was commissioned in 1928 into the 13th. Duke of Connaught's Lancers, a cavalry regiment. He returned to India, where he married while he was posted at Jullundur.
In the ensuing years, the Shipways moved "all over India", as Mrs. Shipway recalls. George Shipway's service included two years away from his regiment with a force of irregulars on the frontier between Baluchistan and Iran, as well as being a staff officer in Delhi and in central India, but history was about to bring his Indian Army career to an end. At Partition, the Indian Army was divided, and the 13th. Lancers was one of the regiments assigned to Pakistan.
The Shipways came "home". George Shipway had obtained a transfer to the British Army, to the 3rd. Carabiniers, the Prince of Wales's Dragoon Guards, a Scottish regiment. In the end, he decided not to go through with it. His explanation was that he had never been north of Yorkshire and didn't intend to make such a dramatic change in his life, but really he seems to have had no wish to pursue an Army career anywhere but in India. He retired in 1947 with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.
At this point, the Shipways happened to run into a friend whom they had known in India. She was married to another former Indian Army officer, and she and her husband were now running Cheam School in Berkshire, a school for boys aged from 8 to 14. They suggested to George Shipway that he should become a teacher at the school, which he did.
His second career, as a schoolmaster, lasted 19 years. His pupils included Prince Charles, who spent some time at Cheam. The boys liked and respected him.
Looking at George Shipway's photograph on his 1970s book jackets, one can judge that only a very foolish, or a very brave, boy would have misbehaved in Mr. Shipway's class. The photograph shows a man who clearly knows his way about the world, with a genial expression, but who carries the bearing of one who expects to be obeyed when he gives an order.
While he was a schoolmaster, he tried his hand at writing in his spare time, encouraged by his friend John Masters, who had also been an Indian Army officer before becoming an author. George Shipway eventually began work on what would become Imperial Governor.
Mrs. Shipway describes him as a man who lived much within himself. He combined the qualities of the soldier with those of a scholar. When he was a boy, his family had thought of sending him to a grander school, Winchester, and Mrs. Shipway believes that if his life had taken that turn he might well have become a university don rather than a soldier.
George Shipway loved the countryside, and Mrs. Shipway still treasures a book in which he had collected dried specimens of more than 200 species of wild flower.
Imperial Governor was published in 1968. It takes the form of a memoir of the Roman general Suetonius Paulinus, who, when Governor of Britain, suppressed Boudicca's rebellion. At 60, George Shipway was an unusually late starter as a published novelist, but he found success at once. Imperial Governor was widely praised.
His next novel, Knight in Anarchy, followed a year later, in 1969. It relates the adventures of Humphrey Visdelou in the chaos of the struggle for the English crown between King Stephen and the Empress Matilda in the mid-twelfth century. It is built around Humphrey's perverse and helpless devotion to the service of the cruel but charismatic Geoffrey de Mandeville.
Knight in Anarchy is perhaps the quintessential George Shipway novel, full of violence, dirt, fear, and danger, while at the same time being scholarly and a well-constructed story. The story never flags, right up to the fascinating punchline at the very end of the Author's Note that concludes it: "I live on the fief that Visdelou once held".
At this point George Shipway quarrelled with his literary agent of the time. Mrs. Shipway recalls him stamping off to his study and swearing that he would never write again. Some months later he emerged with the manuscript of The Chilian Club, a novel that would bring him considerable public notice, much of it hostile.
The Chilian Club (published in the United States as The Yellow Room) is not a historical novel (except for its Prologue), but it needs to be examined here because of its effect upon his reputation for some people.
The Chilian (short for "Chilianwala") Club in London is founded in the middle of the nineteenth century by the former CO of the 6th. Hussars, a cavalry regiment that had disgraced itself in the opinion of the rest of the Army by its behaviour at the battle of Chilianwala in India in1849, during the Sikh Wars.
By the mid-1970s, Britain is paralysed by strikes and left-wing political activism (an extrapolation by Shipway from the real industrial and political strife of the time). A group of retired Army officers, members of the Chilian Club, decide to redeem the honour of the 6th. Hussars by assassinating the union leaders, left-wing agitators, and even a trendy bishop, whom they believe to be destroying the country. It turns out that the figures whom the Chilian Club select as their targets were financed by the Soviet Union, but there are more revelations, and the novel ends in a sensational and unexpected twist that takes it into science fiction.
The Chilian Club wasn't politically correct in 1971, and is even less so now. There were plans at the time to film it, but the unions "blacked" the project so that the film was never made.
George Shipway had described The Chilian Club as "a diversion", but many who read it, or heard of it, were not amused. He was guyed as a silly old retired curry colonel, and was called (unfairly) a Fascist, and (even more unfairly) a racist, an accusation that is absurd to anyone who has read some of his other novels, with their noble Moorish and Indian characters.
Shipway returned to less controversial ground with his next two novels, The Paladin and The Wolf Time, which tell the story of Walter Tirel, known to history as the man who was blamed for killing King William II with an arrow in the New Forest. When Tirel is a boy undergoing a brutal training programme to become an esquire, he meets William Rufus for the first time, and is spellbound by him, although he is appalled by Rufus' homosexuality.
The Paladin and The Wolf Time contain a gallery of characters that is vaster and more fascinating than in any of George Shipway's other novels, and the story of Walter Tirel's 20‑year affair with the alluring but dangerous Isabel of Conches is like no other love story that you have ever read.
George Shipway returned to India, the country where he had spent 28 years of his life, for a pair of novels set at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Unlike The Paladin and The Wolf Time, though, these two novels are not connected except by both being set in India within a few years of each other.
Free Lance follows the fortunes of two friends who have fallen into disgrace in England and taken service with the East India Company: the dashing Hugo Amaury as an army officer, and the stolid Charles Marriott as a junior merchant. Marriott stays loyal to the Company, but Amaury, whose temper nearly ruins his career, decides to strike out into the lawless interior of central India to find a life of power and wealth for himself without the help or approval of the Company.
Charles Marriott is appointed a Collector, effectively a local ruler for the Company, and Amaury accompanies him. Plenty of fights and battles ensue, not least as part of the pursuit of Amaury by Caroline Wrangham, the spirited daughter of a general.
Free Lance is perhaps not Shipway's most successful novel, depending heavily on a couple of convenient coincidences, but it does make a serious effort to exhibit and explain the attitudes of the East India Company's soldiers and merchants, and of the Indian peoples with whom they deal.
Ignorance and insensitivity towards Indians are the very theme of Strangers in the Land, which begins five years later, in 1806. A general newly arrived from England orders two small changes to the Indian soldiers' uniforms and personal appearance regulations. This act eventually leads to a savage mutiny, and equally savage reprisals. The sense throughout Strangers in the Land is of an onrushing disaster, which people of goodwill on both sides try to prevent. In the end, each side feels that it has been betrayed by those whom it trusted, and the Vellore Mutiny of 1806 is a warning that will have been forgotten 50 years later, a forgetfulness that will lead to the much greater Indian Mutiny of 1857.
Strangers in the Land is notable for the large number of Indian characters, and the understanding portrayal of their tragedy, which is important to remember in view of the reputation that The Chilian Club had earned George Shipway in some quarters.
Shipway now moved back 3000 years to produce a pair of novels about the Mycenaean king Agamemnon. He had first become interested in the period when he had been taught the Classics as a schoolboy, and he travelled widely in the Aegean to research the two novels.
The first of the pair, Warrior in Bronze, tells the story of Agamemnon up to the point at which he gains the throne of Mycenae. Warrior in Bronze is full of characters from Classical mythology and drama, such as Hercules, Clytemnaistra, Castor, and Pollux, and the novel gives origins for them from which the tales and legends might have grown. Shipway also serves up his usual quota of battles, intrigues, and shocking acts of violence. Agamemnon, who narrates his own story, is entirely unrepentant, and believes that only a harsh and ruthless man could rule in the Greece of his time. When Warrior in Bronze ends, the seeds of the coming Trojan War are already sprouting.
The second novel of the Mycenaean pair, King in Splendour, tells the story of how Agamemnon brings about the war against Troy of which he has long dreamt. His account of how it really happened varies in many respects from the story we know from Homer's Iliad. This is because, in King in Splendour, the bard who composed the Iliad is a hired hack brought to Troy by Achilles, and who is paid to compose an epic that reflects maximum credit upon Achilles, and the minimum upon Agamemnon. At the end of the novel, Agamemnon prepares to sail home, wolfishly considering how he will execute his treacherous queen Clytemnaistra and her lover Aegisthus. He cannot know that it is Clytemnaistra who will have the last brutal triumph.
King in Splendour was George Shipway's last novel, published when he was 71. Mrs. Shipway had long urged him to retire when he reached 70, but sadly his health failed soon afterwards, and he died in 1982.
It had been an extraordinary career, lasting only 11 years. George Shipway had been first published even later than Alfred Duggan (whose first novel had come out when Duggan was 47), and his novels had been published over an even shorter period than Duggan's (11 years, as against 14 years).
One can also compare Shipway with his friend John Masters. Shipway's novels combine the scholarship of Duggan (who, like Shipway and Masters, had served as a soldier in combat) with the roughness of Masters. Shipway's Amaury family, members of which make appearances from the eleventh century to the twentieth, is perhaps a deliberate echo of Masters' Savage family.
Duggan had Shipway's erudition, but lacked his toughness, while Masters had the toughness but did not have Shipway's deep education.
George Shipway's most notable distinction as a historical novelist is his unflinching representation of the attitudes of the times and places of which he wrote. We may be appalled by Walter Tirel's willingness to kill helpless peasants in order to weaken a rival lord's economic power, while at the same time Tirel is always obedient to the laws of honour. Those laws simply don't apply to serfs. As modern readers, we do not have to approve of his viewpoint, but that does seem to be the way a man of his time and class would have seen it.
In his Indian novels, Shipway is quite aware (even mentioning it in a foreword to Free Lance, for example), that the attitudes of his British characters are now considered reprehensible, but he is not afraid to give them the outlook of their own time. He is equally faithful to the attitudes of his Indian characters, not all of which would be approved of by modern Indians.
Because George Shipway never modified his historical novels to fit modern views, they have not dated, whereas The Chilian Club is now a period piece that would require notes and explanations if it were to be published again, which is highly unlikely.
George Shipway's historical novels are strong meat indeed, and will not appeal to everyone. His in-your-face, no-apologies style leaves no room for indifference. Either you like his novels or you don't.
His undoubted strengths are the force, clarity, and imagery of his writing, and the accuracy of his backgrounds. He has a rare gift for vivid verbal pictures: a flight of arrows shot from one ship to another at sea forms "a shimmering bridge"; looking out over the length of the city wall of mediaeval London, "(the) helmets of the watch and ward twinkled like jewels on a two-mile-long diadem".
Those who like to read historical fiction will find that he is an author who can make another time and place live with a skill that few historical novelists can match. Those who write historical fiction as well can learn from an author who never forced his characters to adopt whatever attitudes were fashionable at the time or writing, instead of the attitudes of their own time.
Alan Fisk lives in London. His historical novels include The Strange Things of the World, The Summer Stars, Forty Testoons, and Cupid and the Silent Goddess. His website is at: http://www.alanfisk.com/

STOCKTON - Stockton needs more police officers and, even if the still-developing Marshall Plan existed, it would take at least two more years to add an additional 100 officers to the force.
CORRECTION: May 23, 2013
Incorrect information about future Marshall Plan town hall meetings appeared in the print and initial online versions of this story. The error has been corrected online.
STOCKTON - Stockton needs more police officers and, even if the still-developing Marshall Plan existed, it would take at least two more years to add an additional 100 officers to the force.
"We are currently one of the most understaffed jurisdictions in the nation - No. 1 if you factor in crime rates," Police Chief Eric Jones said.
He addressed a crowd of about three dozen people gathered Wednesday evening at the Stribley Community Center for the second of six town hall meetings designed to explain City Hall's crime-fighting Marshall Plan.
Jones later said the city already has adopted an aggressive retention and recruitment program because of department turnover. The Stockton Police Department is authorized to have 344 officers but has struggled to reach that number because of departures and retirements. "It is getting better," Jones said.
He said adding more officers is a priority for his administration.
Jones spoke at the District 5 town hall hosted by Councilwoman Dyane Burgos.
In late June or early July, a finalized Marshall Plan, based on town hall input, is expected to go before the City Council. A funding mechanism could go before voters in fall.
Even with his depleted resources, Jones was credited by several in the crowd with reducing crime in recent months. "This is the best chief we've had in 20 years," said Ralph White, a former council member.
Daniel Hernandez, 68 and retired, moved to Stockton 13 years ago from Merced. "You and the Police Department are doing a good job," he said. "I'm not afraid to walk down the block anymore."
The town hall meeting was built around two themes: city finances and crime. A year ago, City Hall conducted a similar series of town hall meetings leading up to Stockton's filing for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection.
"We will take your feedback back to City Hall," Burgos said, encouraging residents Wednesday night to make suggestions or fill out an available questionnaire.
She and Jones explained the purpose of the plan to reduce violence in Stockton and to "stop, interrupt and prevent" homicides. Burgos said 80 percent of the city's crime is attributed to 1 percent of the population of 300,000.
She introduced Jones as the "king of doing more with less."
Jones said one aspect of the Marshall Plan is already under way: employment of the gun-violence intervention strategy of Operation Ceasefire.
"We're trying to bring the message to the 'most influentials' to put down the guns," Jones said. "If they don't, we're letting them know that we will bring the full force of law enforcement."
Jones said the carrot-and-stick approach works.
"Ceasefire is absolutely the best program in the nation," he said.
Jones also said it was important for residents to understand that it is a myth to think a lot of new officers can be added overnight. "It will take years," he said, adding that 200 officers are needed as well as a replenished civilian work force.

They may be on-again, off-again rivals for the hearts and minds of computer users everywhere, but that doesn't mean Apple and Microsoft don't occasionally exchange longing looks across a crowded dance floor. Case in point: among the patches Microsoft recently released for its more-popular-than-expected fresh new operating system is one designed specifically for iPod users.
KB933824 is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Vista and fixes an issue Apple warns about in its own Knowledge Base article, namely potential corruption if users choose to eject their iPods via the "Safely Remove Hardware" feature rather than ejecting the iPod via iTunes. Note that even though there's a 64-bit edition of the patch, Apple still doesn't support its music and media player on those versions of Vista.
Given that Microsoft and Apple compete in the music player, music store, home media, operating system, office suite (sorta), and (in a few months) smartphone businesses, it's nice to see the two companies buckle down and fix problems for each other. Granted, it's in both of their interests to do so, but hey, we'll take what we can get.

Palm OS II-based smartphones now due H2 2009
Linux-based system software slips again?
Palm's next-gen operating system will be finished by the end of the year, the company promised late last week.
The company said the Linux-based system software known as Palm OS II and 'Nova' is "on track" for completion by the end of calendar 2008. Handsets based on the OS will following the first half of 2009, it said.
Palm announced back in April 2007 that it would develop the next generation of the Palm OS itself, a move made to ensure it was not tied to a third-party, either Japan's Access, the current owner, or anyone else should Access choose to offload it.
Access took on the Palm OS when it acquired PalmSource - the OS developer spun out of Palm in 2003 - back in 2005.
Palm's current Palm OS-based smartphones, such as the Centro - reviewed here - run Palm OS 5.4m aka 'Garnet', for which Palm bought a licence to the source code in 2006.
As most OS development projects do, Palm OS II has slipped a bit. Palm CEO Ed Colligan indicated in May 2007 that handhelds equipped with the software would be available in 2007. Two months on, and that timeframe had expanded to 2008, and by October 2007, Colligan was saying fans will have to wait until the end of 2008.
No doubt Palm will say the completion of the OS within that timeframe indicates the release hasn't slipped again, but most pundits will undoubtedly measure the Palm OS II's overall development time up until the first handhelds pre-loaded with it ship.
