ICM client John Singleton also had family on his mind, too. He brought his son and daughter to the party and told THR that they all three are working with the agency (his son on animated projects and his daughter is represented as a screenwriter). "I love what Chris does every year," he said. "I ran into my friend Regina King. I’ve known her since we were both at USC so we were sharing stories about that. I also ran into [Abdul Williams] who wrote The Bobby Brown Story. I’ve never met him but he told me he’s going to pitch a new show and I said, ‘Dude, we gotta get together.’ So this is just like a family picnic for me."

The iPad’s approach to multitasking remains basic, and not much better on the Pro models than on non-Pro models. You can divide the screen into 66/34 or 50/50 panes, add a picture-in-picture video window, and create a pop-out app sidebar, but that’s pretty much it. While the shared-screen feature works seamlessly, app support still remains inconsistent, and the virtual keyboard has a way of obscuring nearly half of the display.

“It will be recalled that EEDC has been making frantic effort in engaging critical stakeholders within its network, educating them on the need to be vigilant and ensure electrical installations within their environment, serving them, are safe and protected. This is to curtail the spate of vandalism, as it is subjecting customers to hardship and greatly impacting on the quality of service delivery.

Another storm will hit the region Tuesday night and continue into Wednesday, Hintz said. But it won’t be as powerful as the storm that raged over Northern California this weekend.

Research and design then focused on how gamers use desktop replacement laptops and saw that many connect an external keyboard and display. Having the laptop occupy so much desktop area was a real impediment to achieving a comfortable position. Research also supported that gamers prefer their keyboards off to the side and at an angle, which simply isn’t possible with traditional laptop layouts. Prototypes were created that introduced a detachable keyboard with a folding design that dramatically reduced the system’s overall footprint. This granted the flexibility to not only position the keyboard as needed, but to also replace it entirely without wasting desk space.

Sol 256, 2142. Took six months for LongReach to answer my enquiry. That’s why they planted us so far off. So we can’t bother them, so we’ll be forgotten. They say it’s a million kwuh for a spot on an inner system freighter. And then another 500,000 for a residency at the Spitzbergen climate-monitoring station. The temperature has dropped 0.1 Celsius since 2130: there’s hope for the future! The iridium bounty would cover my costs ten times over if it was in marsbucks instead of kwuh. Bastards. Still, one more strike is all I need.

INSIDE DISH: Emmy parties come and go but the BAFTA Tea Party is a long time staple of the awards season scene. After too many nights spent in crowded hotel ballrooms and dark clubs, an English garden tea party on a bright and sunny afternoon at the Beverly Hilton is a nice change.

About annoying AI, I just watched the last “Harry Potter” — I keep imagining we’ll soon have “assistants” like that Dobby creature… maybe made in Japan!
