Html Open A New Window
Thu, 29 Jul 2010 05:38:35 +0000

I am opening a new HM window for side-by-side comparison using the
File -> Open new HM Window option inside of HM. I never used this option in previous versions so I do not know if this bug previously existed.
Steps to reproduce with screenshots:
1) Create new database
2) Import small set of Cash hands only (I deliberately excluded tournament hands to demonstrate the bug)
3) Select Cash Reports sidebar item and confirm that total number of hands are displayed. Write down number of hands for Step 7.
4) Select Tourney Results sidebar item and confirm there are no tournaments recorded
5) Select Tourney reports sidebar item and confirm there are no tournament hands recorded
6) With the Tourney Reports sidebar item selected, select File -> Open new HM window. New HM window for selected player opens to the Tourney Results sidebar item showing no tournaments recorded.
7) Select Tourney Reports in new HM window and find a Cash report displaying total number of hands from Step 3
8) Select Cash Reports sidebar item and confirm total number of hands matches number from Step 7
9) Select Tourney Reports sidebar item and confirm that there are now no tournament hands being reported.
You can duplicate this for Tourney Preflop Cards and Hands by closing the new HM window and following steps 6 - 8 again.
The attached screenshots are for steps 3 - 7.
Back in the day, advertising was supposed to be kinda sneaky -- yeah, we knew companies were directing ads at us consumers in an effort to get us to buy stuff, but no one talked about it. Now, social media heavies like Twitter, Zynga (makers of Farmville, Mafia Wars and other time leechers) and LinkedIn are being totally open about their efforts.
Fortune.com has a video snippet up from a panel of COOs and CEOS from the aforementioned companies, discussing their innovations in advertising and basically, how they're getting suckers like us to pay in.
Zynga's founder and CEO, Mark Pincus, weighs in on the future of ads in social media with the example of a recent campaign for General Mills new organic Cascadian farms blueberries. It's easy, really -- just introduce the berries in virtual form on Farmville, and voila! Millions of game players plant the digital crops and then go on to make pies they can't actually eat or let those imaginary berries sit too long in the online fridge until they're forced to throw them out.
It just seems interesting that companies are being so open about their tactics. We should be overjoyed at the transparency, but it feels a little condescending to be informed of how we, as consumers, are being targeted.
But then again, people love their Tweeting, winking, and virtual food. Carry on!
