Syria troops shell rebel areas

Syrian troops have shelled rebel-held areas and clashed with opposition fighters in several locations across the country, activists said.

The assault is part of a regime offensive to recover territories controlled by rebels which began earlier this week.

The Local Co-ordination Committees and Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said troops bombarded the northern town of Anadan in the northern Aleppo province today. The Observatory said one person was killed.

The groups said troops have also shelled the rebel-held areas of Khaldieh and Jouret al-Shayah in the central Homs province.

Syrian troops have been sweeping through villages and towns in Syria's northern, central, southern and seaside provinces this week.

It appears to be the largest offensive since an internationally-brokered ceasefire went into effect two months ago.

Rumored iPhone 5 parts show new layout, micro dock

Another supposed part leak from Apple's next generation iPhone 5 has shown up online. The component is listed as a headphone jack/earpiece/Wi-fi antenna. The iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 parts are grouped a bit differently -- but that's not what we find interesting. If this is indeed a part from the next generation iPhone, I don't think what it's listed as is what we're actually looking at.?I think it's possible we're looking at Apple's new micro dock connector, the one iMore first reported on back in February.

Thumbtack Revamp Makes It Even Easier To Find A Service Provider

poltergeistThumbtack.com, a site that helps people find local service providers (from house cleaners to DJs to math tutors, to use the three examples on the company homepage), unveiled a big redesign earlier this week. Co-founder Sander Daniels says the original version of Thumbtack tried to make finding a service provider easier by avoiding the standard search interface ? people posted what job they were looking for, then Thumbtack connected those posters with a professionals who were qualified to do the work. That's still the basic idea, but the new site is "significantly easier and more sophisticated," Daniels says. Now, when you type in the general category that you're looking for, Thumbtack helps you with the listing by asking questions about the basic information that you'll need to enter.
