WHERE DO PEARS GROW?
Native to the northern regions of central Asia, pears have been cultivated for more than
3,000 years. Pears have been growing in the U.S since the 1600s when early colonists
began growing pear trees by planting cuttings from European pear trees. Today the
largest producers of pears are China, Italy, Russia and the U.S. The West Coast
dominates pear production in the U.S; 98 percent of all pears grown in the U.S. are
grown in California, Oregon and Washington.

Microsoft takes aim at Flickr

clipped from arstechnica.com The company on Friday posted a new job opening with a very telling description. The listing for a “Program Manager” speaks of a heading up “next-generation photo and video sharing service that will compete with Flickr, SmugMug and other photo web solutions today,” many of Flickr’s best features require a $25 subscription if it’s anything like MSN Soapbox, it may do little in the way of putting pressure on the top dog Soapbox still has the feel of a Johnny-come-lately If Microsoft wants to succeed with a Flickr-killer The service must work flawlessly and fully on non-IE browsers focus on the service not as a pageview-driven enterprise but as a service hub made accessible via an open API. Expose the back end so that developers can tap into it however they see fit, and make it easy for anyone to interact with the service.
