Here are the 7 companies Microsoft doesn't want its ex-Windows chief to join
GigaOm writes, Since Steven Sinofsky and Microsoft shocked the PC world by?divorcing last year, some details of Sinofsky?s severance have already surfaced. ?But now we know, thanks to Microsoft?s 10-K filing, just which companies has are off limits to Sinofsky until December 31, 2013, a ?year from his termination date, By virtue of Sinofsky?s retirement agreement, ?he ?cannot accept direct or indirect employment? with Amazon, Apple, ?EMC, Google(sgoog),Facebook, Oracle and VMware.

Taunton's synthetic marijuana ban ready for mayor's signature
The process of adopting an ordinance holding convenience store owners and individuals liable for selling, possessing or using synthetic marijuana is being expedited.
The City Council Tuesday night suspended its rules requiring that a week pass between a third reading of a proposed ordinance and a final roll call vote of the full council.
The vote was unanimous to suspend the rule and to pass the new ordinance, which now requires the signature of Mayor Thomas Hoye Jr. in order to become official.
The ordinance would impose a first-time fine of $150 and a $300 fine for each subsequent offense.
The two categories of substances described within the ordinance include synthetic marijuana and synthetic marijuana analogue. Both apply to an array of products sometimes marketed as bath salts, potpourri, incense, spice and other substances not intended to be ingested.
Two weeks ago, Taunton Police Chief Edward Walsh informed the council that he and assistant city solicitor Daniel de Abreu had collaborated on the ordinance.
Walsh says the police have had to deal with an increasing number of cases involving mainly young people who smoke synthetic pot and sometimes experience hallucinations and psychotic episodes.
Tuesday night also saw the postponement of a discussion of the council?s motion two weeks ago for a home rule petition to the state to exceed the city?s quota of 24 retail liquor licenses.
The council?s move to add another eight licenses, split evenly between beer-and-wine and all-liquor, created a backlash among local package and convenience store owners who say it would hurt their sales and perhaps even put them out of business.
The council voted to postpone until next week any discussion or public comment of the topic so that all nine councilors have a chance to partake in the proceedings. Two councilors, Deborah Car and David Pottier, were not in attendance this week.
At least 24 people representing Taunton and Raynham stores showed up and calmly accepted the council?s suggestion that they pick up the conversation next Tuesday.
The council also voted to ask the city?s license commission to come in next week to explain their rationale for recommending that the eight licenses be added.
In other news, a citation was presented by the fire department to the family of the late David Orcutt who drowned in 2001. The fire department spent days looking for Orcutt and eventually recovered his body.
The Orcutt family since then has organized numerous fundraisers that have paid for equipment used the Taunton Fire Department dive team.

Magical Bottle Opener Can Pour Wine Without Popping the Cork
There are plenty of ways to open a nice bottle of wine, but they all involve the avoidable decision to finish the bottle (or risk the weird-tasting leftovers). We can do better than this, people. A new opener from Coravin aimed at connoisseurs lets you drink one glass at a time, by performing what amounts to a surgical procedure on your bottle.

Coach, US Steel and Goodyear are big market movers
NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
The Mosaic Co., down $9.15 to $43.81
A massive Russian potash producer pulled out of a sales partnership, signaling an end to a global cartel that commands 70 percent of the world market. That's likely to reduce sharply the price of potash, a nutrient used in fertilizers, and has already cut into shares of companies that produce it.
Coach Inc., down $4.55 to $53.30
Shares slumped after the company announced the departure of two top executives and poor sales of handbags during the final quarter of the year.
United States Steel Corp., down $1.27 to $17.71
The steel maker posted a second consecutive quarterly loss, making it five out of seven in the red, and it gave a cautious forecast for the current period.
Occidental Petroleum Corp., down $2.16 to $88.32
The company delivered a profit that topped Wall Street expectations, but its revenue numbers left investors wanting.
Pitney Bowes Inc., up $1.88 to $16.60
The mailing equipment and software company beat expectations for the quarter and said it will sell its North American management services unit to Apollo Global Management for $400 million.
Nasdaq
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., up $1.52 to $18.56
The company's second-quarter earnings more than doubled and it is optimistic about the entire year. Goodyear even did well in Europe, a danger zone for most automotive companies, doubling its earnings there to $51 million.
Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc., up $3.56 to $11.61
The Food and Drug Administration is planning a faster review of the company's sleep disorder drug, tasimelteon. That could bring the drug to market sooner than most had expected.
R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co., up $2.68 to $18.93
The stock jumped to its highest price in almost two years after the printing company beat Wall Street projections for the second quarter.

My Oh My: Book/Movie Review - photo Header_zps53869b1e.png
I picked up "The Silent Wife" because it was being hailed as the next Gone Girl (If you haven't read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn then I sugguest you do so!) I thought hey I loved the story how it went between the husband/wife taking turns telling the story so I'll probably really get into this book. MEH......
This book was so BORING. I wasn't on the edge of my seat reading it, and the plot was just not so great. I say skip this one friends!
What goodreads says:
"Jodi and Todd are at a bad place in their marriage. Much is at stake, including the affluent life they lead in their beautiful waterfront condo in Chicago, as she, the killer, and he, the victim, rush haplessly toward the main event. He is a committed cheater. She lives and breathes denial. He exists in dual worlds. She likes to settle scores. He decides to play for keeps. She has nothing left to lose. Told in alternating voices, The Silent Wife is about a marriage in the throes of dissolution, a couple headed for catastrophe, concessions that can?t be made, and promises that won?t be kept. Expertly plotted and reminiscent of Gone Girl and These Things Hidden, The Silent Wife ensnares the reader from page one and does not let go.(less)" synopsis taken from goodreadsNext up:
Oblivion starring Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman
This movie was a little to sci-fy for my liking. It was like Planet of the Apes meets Star Wars. That's all I could think of when watching it.?
And what's with movies always wanting the world to end and have us living in the sky or on another planet??
Skip it. I only watched because I do think Tom Cruise is a terrific talented actor.
on to Mud.
This one stars hottie Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon.?
Ugh. Another total bomb. We didn't even finish the movie. Turned it off out of pure slowness and bordeom. It reminded me of Reese's last terrible movie called "how do you know" starring Owen Wilson and Jack Nickelson. I mean why these superstars take these blah roles is beyond me. Skip this one too. This movie was like Stand By Me if anyone has seen that gem. Boys looking for a dead body, in this case 2 boys find an alive man instead of dead...You get where I'm going with this.?
