Success - thank you. However I had to run service network start before yum update would work. I should note I chose the web server configuration.

The best Bond is James Bond. So, Daniel Craig is Bond now, and so he's the best. (Provided we all understand about the writer's strike.) But the best villain is another matter -- Goldfinger was played creepy, odd and menacing, if a bit poorly written.

Too bad they didn't pull Edgar Blackmon from Second City -- he does a great Obama.

One tiny thing: each update (iOS vs. OSX, for instance) is written like they sections are intended to be standalone. Graphically, however, the article is broken up far more by the images than by the bold text that starts each section. My recommendation would be to widen the photos to be inline with the column width (though this would be greatly improved if the images were less tall for users with smaller screens) and to add some space between the sections. I messed around in the Chrome developer tools and made the changes and it looks OK: http://twitpic.com/9vqmu2

The star on the map over Indiana is over neither Bloomington, Lafayette nor Muncie. It could be called "close to Lafayette", I suppose, but it is a solid 75 miles off -- seems to be over Plymouth or South Bend.

To be fair, they would probably need smaller dots and starts to signify all three -- which are northwest, east and south of dotted Indianapolis.

Re: Facebook’s Mobile Problem Isn’t Ads — It’s The Product

One tangential thing I think worth considering is load time. I would like to use Facebook on my iPhone -- having a half-decent app has definitely increased the time I spend with the service. But unless I'm on wifi, I can't bear to wait to load a photo. Even when other websites and apps (like Spotify) will render what's asked of them, Facebook still very
often wont load.
Of course, this is only anecdotal ...

Facebook.com is also slow, relative to, say, Google search results on a desktop. But "somewhat slow" on a landline is certainly easier to deal with.

PocketCloud will help me share all of the great memories of the last year with my family as we watch videos, review photos and (undoubtedly) swap a few well-intentioned receipts ... which of course, I now store digitally. Great giveaway and thanks for considering me.

So, so right, Mr. Birch. Mr. O'Reilly's view is a fairly vast (and oft-believed) oversimplification of the changes in American business heavily tinted with a rosy view of bygone days as well as a wildly simple view of the issues of state-by-state tax nexus law.
