There’s a new MAC app called I-Books Author which has a hidden agenda: when you upload your book to the Apple store you automatically signed away all rights to distribute it anywhere but on Apple.

Below you can read the Tips posted by Apple. In one tip it sounds like you can distribute and in another it says no way.

I used SmashWords. com to learn how to publish an e-book and also how to learn how to market an e-book. I have been 100% happy with contact with SmashWords.com.

So yes — beware of Apple taking a huge bite out of the ‘apple of your eye’ — the book you created.

Below are the Tips listed for understanding IBooks Author, a free MAC app that automatically takes away all of the author’s distribution rights. Beware!
_______________

I’m an author (or publisher). Can I distribute this work on my own website?

“You may distribute books created in iBooks Author free of charge on your own website. If you wish to sell your book, you must do so through the iBookstore

How can I distribute my work?
“You can publish your book to the iTunes Bookstore; you must choose to sell your book or offer it as a free download. You can also export your book from iBooks Author as a PDF, text, or iBooks document for you to distribute outside the iBookstore.

How do I publish my book on iTunes U?
“To publish your book on iTunes U, you must have an iTunes U site. If you do not already have an iTunes U site, you can apply for one.

How do I publish my book on the iBookstore?

“You can sign up to publish your books directly using iTunes Connect. To sign up to sell your books on the iBookstore, complete the application and download iTunes Producer. Books can also be made available for free on the iBookstore.
Note: All iBooks Author books for sale must also include a sample book; free books do not require a sample. The file size limit for all books published to the iBookstore is 2 GB.
_______________

The above Tips are confusing in that it seems like you have control over distribution but in reality you do not have control when you use IBooks Author, a free MAC app which takes away 100% of your distribution rights. With SmashWords. com e-book authors keep 100% control of distribution rights.

The Greek government has just recognized pedophiles as a population of the “disabled,” entitled under law to governmental disability compensation and added to the country’s welfare roll. The children who are the victims of those pedophiles evidently are not.

Pedophiles are not the only folks being added to the growing lists of those who may enjoy free handouts and disability income from the Greek government. (Notice I did not say benefits “paid for by the Greek taxpayer,” since so much of the Greek national budget is not covered by them these days.)

Exhibitionists and kleptomaniacs were also just added to the welfare roll list that already includes pyromaniacs, compulsive gamblers, fetishists and sadomasochists. Under the new Greek “disability” rules and categories, pedophiles will get larger welfare checks than people who have undergone organ transplants. Peeping Toms will enjoy a higher level of support than diabetics.

Obama’s federal agency NOAA is no Noah’s Ark.

Pronounced like Noah, the federal agency NOAA stands for National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Agency. NOAA’s funding is authorized by the Department of Commerce.

Per how NOAA recently acts as judge, jury and prosecutor against people using the resources of Monterey Bay — huge fines for jet ski users and criminal charges against a biologist for feeding large fish — it may be the right time that the public jerked NOAA’s funding to a standstill?

Interestingly, Democrat congressman Sam Farr refuses to comment on NOAA and has refused to go on a local radio program, KSCO 1080 radio, to discuss NOAA.

Sam Farr is the same Democrat congressman who, when he held four Town Meetings on health care, stated at the beginning that he was there to tell the public that he was going to vote for Obama Care. Sam Farr was not there to listen – he was there to tell the public what he was going to do.

Let’s look at the considerable differences between Noah’s Ark and NOAA’s Mission:

You know the Biblical story: Under God’s direction, Noah built an Ark and put on board two of every kind of animal. When the world flooded, the animals were safe on board the high seas until, finally, a little bird brought back a leaf. The leaf signaled to Noah that land was near and life could go on. And God gave to people the rainbow as a sign that never again would God flood the earth with water.

Today we have NOAA to save the animals, fish, birds and everything from the bottom of the sea all the way to the sun. What a huge charge. And what huge powers turned over to Obama’s political appointees who run NOAA.
(more…)

Federal agency National Oceanographic & Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) recently pressed criminal charges and has levied huge fines against a nationally known biologist for feeding large fish.

Also, NOAA recently levied enormous fines — which keep going up — against two persons using jet skis to save surfers in Monterey Bay.

The overall issue is that a federal agency (NOAA) under Obama and with the blessing of local congressman Sam Farr now controls access of the public to use of Monterey Bay. Do you accept this control?

Because the jet ski users are contesting the charges, NOAA’s response has been to double and triple the fines. Per discussion by Dr. Bill on radio 1080, NOAA is acting as judge, jury and prosecutor and not allowing any defense.

Sam Farr, congressman for the Monterey and Santa Cruz, CA area, refused to come on a local radio show Saturday, Jan. 14 and discuss his views of NOAA and the legal charges against people using the Monterey Bay for work and play. Sam Farr’s office likewise did not contact the radio station. Farr’s offices were contacted repeatedly without success.

“Put a sign on your car, in your window and on a telephone pole telling Sam Farr what you want” says Dr. Bill on 1080 Radio. “Or just write, Sam Farr — Farr Out!”

NOAA’s senior positions are filled with political appointees who push for the political agenda of the current administration. Dr. Bill refers to NOAA as the “green Gestapo”.

Per the 1080 radio show Jan. 11, 2012 NOAA spent millions of Obama Stimulus money on a new building close to the beach at Asilomar CA state park in Monterey, CA. NOAA will not permit any non-native plants in the area and has built a building which, to put it mildly from the comments of listeners to the raido show, does not blend into the environment. Check out the NOAA building next time you drive along the Asilomar state beach beach in Monterey.

When the companies that supply motor fuel close the books on 2011, they will pay about $6.8 million in penalties to the Treasury. This is because they failed to mix a special type of biofuel into their gasoline and diesel as required by law.

But there was no biofuel to be had. Outside a handful of laboratories and workshops, the ingredient, cellulosic biofuel, does not exist.

This is what passes for governance in Wonderland and Obamaville.

Axelrod, a principal Obama advisor, described the news reports in 2008 on Obama’s long-time family pastor and mentor Rev. Wight as “ninety seconds of vitriol plucked from thirty years of sermons by some enterprising opposition researcher.”

Don’t forget that the quotes came from the Rev.’s own tapes.
