    Little known fact: before #TerryCrews was a famous #actor, he was a #portrait #artist

    As a teenager in #Flint #Michigan he was a courtroom sketch artist. He got an #arts #scholarship to college but switched to #football. His #NFL football career was meager, he was constantly cut from rosters. So to survive financially he did locker room commissioned portraits of his teammates

    Talk about range

    Anyway here he is hand sketching #SofiaVergara

    @silmeth That's how I feel about 's notification area. I do *not* appreciate UIs suddenly appearing under my cursor or in the place where I'm reading.

    So... what is a "push notification"?
    I heard this term in mainstream media, so I'm interested in a non-technical definition.

    ibm.com/think/topics/push-noti

    IBM says that it's a popup from the OS, but it tracks them only to 2008, whereas "Activate your Windows XP" popup existed back in 2002, so IBM's definition contradicts facts.

    (IIRC There were already IM messages in popups, "your download completed", etc.)

    What does it actually mean? Is it different from "notification" or is it only marketing?
