My Dear Sir,
In order to get it to you as early as possible, I am obliged to send you quite a poor proof-sheet of your Review of Willis's Poems.(69) I like it very much.
It strikes me that you might add something more from your own pen to it. But I am sure I could not tell what more I could like to have you add.
I have thought it possible that you might be able to run the heading to Bacon No. II out,(70) without waiting for me to have the article set up. I therefore have taken off the caption prefixed by yourself to the copy I am to set from, and send it along with the proof.
I hope you will be able to send me down all that you would like to appear in this No. so that it may reach me by to-morrow night week at farthest.
Yours truly,
(Late at night.)
Richmond, Va.
Jan. 20, 1838.(71)
My Dear Friend,
By last Tuesday's Stage, I forwarded to your address proof-slips of your Review of Willis. Please see if they are not at the tavern still. I am waiting for them.
But the worst of all is, that I have not heard a syllable from Mr. Tucker.(72) To him, I forwarded slips of his address, as far back as a week to-day — that is, the slips went up by Sunday's Stage. Every day [page 33:] I now stand for these, is a heavy loss to me — besides throwing back my Work.
For fear his slips miscarried, I shall make his Address up in pages, and send it to him again by to-morrow's Stage. Do, my dear friend, contrive to have it conveyed to him at once. If I wait for it longer than Wednesday, or Thursday at farthest, I shall be obliged to pass it over till the March No.
Your Friend,
T. W. White.
Richmond, Va. Jan. 24, 1838.(73)
My Dear Friend,
I see that you are determined to spin out my few deposites, &c &c. so as to make them appear at least equivalent to what you have done for me. Be it so. I am contented, if you are.
Let us begin fresh again as it were. It shall be my study to deserve your friendship.
Gov. Everett seems to like your Review.(74) I shall take some proper occasion to let him know to whom he is indebted for the paper he so much admires. I like the man very much — if it had not been so, I would not have called your attention to his Address,
Your Friend,
T. W. White.

Jan. 24, 1838.(75)
My Dear Friend,
I got nothing from you by the Stage of this evening.
I received from Portland this evening Mr. Ingersoll's Address.(76) It may not be amiss to send it to you. Lay it on your table, or give it to some friend. It is not my wish that you should notice it, — unless you prefer doing so. Ingersoll is no favorite of mine — he is a turncoat in politics.
When may I hope for your Review of Tucker's Jefferson. — that is a paper I should like,
Your Friend,

My dear Friend,
I seize the first moment of leisure that it has fallen to my lot to have for the past ten days to say that I will between (or betwixt) this and next Tuesday, deposite [sic] to your credit in the Bank of Va. $40, pin money. No, I am free to say hard-earned money.
[Hugh Blair] Grigsby was a classmate of Willis's.(78) So I must presume that he knows what he says to be true. You had as well pen the editorial called for and due to Willis.(79) As I sent Willis a copy I think it probable I may hear from him on the subject.
If I see any criticisms which I set value on, I will send them to you. I shall send none others.
I regret to tell you that I feel quite sick tonight.
Shall, of course, be pleased to receive any thing from your pen.
Your Friend,
T. W. White.
Richmond, Va.
Feb. 22, 1838.(80)
My Dear Friend,
I made the $40 deposite [sic]. I had only made a guess of what services you had rendered me. To yourself I left it to count. I am entirely satisfied with what you say — as I am with every thing you do for me.
I do not really think, under circumstances which I dare say you fully appreciate, that it would be prudent in me to allow one fair friend more than the $1.50 per page. The balance of her article is in type, and as soon as my March No. is out, I will apprise you of my having made the deposite [sic].
I must get the favor of you to read over the enclosed M. S. and tell me what disposition I should make of it. Dr. Hawks who writes the article attached, is a warm personal friend of mine.(81)

Feb. 28, 1838.(82)
My Dear Sir,
Your letter of the 24th did not reach me till between 10 & 11 o'clock last night. The 1st and last forms of the Messenger are worked off —— so are all the balance, save 2, one of which I am keeping back, in hopes that I shall at any rate get the proof back from you by to-night's mail. The "one other," which is all ready for the press, I shall undo, so as to introduce (in the place of some vile trash I had in it) your new matter.
Along with this, I shall send you the first form (or eight pages) of my March No. — Let me beg that you do not let this sheet pass out of your hands. I may also send along the sheet, as it was prepared for press which will show you what I left out in order to get your notice in.
There is nothing — no mark in Willis's book — which could lead any one not acquainted with the facts to suppose that he was speaking of any other than the traitor Arnold — I am very sure that 99 readers out of a 100 would have drawn the same inference you did. Let the poor creatures laugh on. — I feel not one of their jibes or jests. Nor do I care one fig about it. The Messenger has lived through many a real blunder, — and, if God will give me a tolerable portion of health, it shall live when many of its "fun-makers " will be glad to hide their faces — and blush for their envious slanders.
I beg that you will go ahead for me. — Do not be frightened from your duty. None but knaves, fools, or "wounded pigeons" laugh at the affair. I dare say some of a different kidney may have smiled at the mistake. I know what I know. — tho' I am no Solomon.
Thank you for the new patron — properly so called by me, for once in my life. In the last week, by mail, I have received notices of losses by deaths, failures, and absconding "patrons" to the amount of at any rate something like $100 — And yet, I assure you, that I leave no stone unturned, or untouched, to get by.
I will attend to all you say or suggest.
Your Friend,
Richmond, Va.
Feb. 28, 1838.(83)
My Dear Friend,
On going home to partake of my bread and met [sic], I there [page 36:] found yours of the 26th, with the proof-sheet which I was so anxiously looking for.
I like all your additions — as I do your improvements. — The article reads better — much better now.
I do not remember what I done with the Rich poor man. I will see to it.
My scroll of this forenoon will tell you why the card cannot come in at the close of the number.
Let the scribbler for Snowden go on.(84) Rely upon it, he can do the Messenger no harm. — Not 20 of the readers of the Messenger ever lay eyes on it.
Hearing that he had handled my January No. with uncommon severity I invited him, as you will guess from his introductory lines, to sharpen his knife well before he commenced dissecting my Feb. No. He is Semmes of Alexandria — a young lawyer I believe.(85) He completed his education at the University — and while there he wrote, and I believe printed in Charlottesville, a Book of Poems (I forget their title) which Snowden reviewed most favorably in the Messenger.(86) Possibly he reviewed it in the 1st Volume. As I have not my copy here I cannot tell you how, or where, to look for it.
The Intelligencer of Petersburg, which I send to you, came marked exactly as you will see it.
Semmes may bark, and carp. — His arrows never can reach me — and if they were, they never could harm me.
I laugh at them all.
Professor Felton, you will surmise, published his article in the Jan. No. of the N. A. Review.(87)

My Dear Friend,
See page 206 Yale Magazine. Please take care of all the papers I may send you containing notices of the Messenger. I may want them.
If it be possible I should really like to read a notice from your [page 37:] pen in the Advocate of my March No.(89) I hope to be able to get it out of the Binder's hands on Monday next.
Col: A. Lynch, of Fredericks-Town, Md. author of the Condor Hunt and Shakespeare and the Critics in last Messenger penned the leading article in this No.(90)
I know not who writes the just and, as I think able review of Wolff, the Jew missionary.(91) It comes to me from Princeton, N. Jersey.
Miss Hayley is by C. Campbell, of Petersburg.(92) He assures me that it is matter of fact.
Love Letters come from S. Carolina.(93)
Sick Child — Gilmore Simms.(94)
To My Mother, By Miss Davidson, (sister of dec'd Lucretia Davidson,) only 14 years of age.(95)
[Letter is torn here.]
Pandemos Polyglott, — fixed by H. St. Geo. Tucker.(96)
The Mountain Violet I Forget me and Woman — all from Mrs. Hitchcocke, wife of Capt. Hitchcocke, of Florida, and of U. S. Army.(97)
Your article is too late for my March No. as you will see.
Your Friend,
T. W. White.
Late at night.

March 12, 1838.(98)
My Dear Sir,
Well, well — I will promise not to tempt you again — at least till you get thro' with the Review. [page 38:]
No, my dear Sir, I said nothing to the Cambridge Professor.(99) at which he could possibly have taken umbrage. I was, I assure you, "all politeness."
In future, I will take time to follow your suggestions touching your fair Fredericksburg friend.
Certainly you are right about the critique I asked — that is, as I asked it. Still I can see no objection to your having sent or written opinion to the Adv. of what you thought of my leading article? If you feel a delicacy in putting that opinion in a paper, I hope you will feel none in telling me how you like that one article.
It will be best to insert the note about Bacon [?] in my April No.(100) which I mean, if possible, to bring out on the 1st. So you will please return me the slips as early as possible.
The Jefferson article shall come out in my April No.(101) — I shall, I am sure, be assailed for writing it. — If I am, you must defend me.
Hatcher, King and myself are warmly attached to each other personally.(102)
Your Friend,
March 28, 1838.(103)
My Dear Friend,
I did not receive yours of the 24th 'till this forenoon.
I thank you kindly for the promptness with which you attended to my call. I assure you that I did not expect you to act in the affair yourself. I hope what you did was perfectly convenient, tho' I fear it was not so very agreeable.
You will see the $20 properly credited on the covers of my next No., which has passed this press — and which I hope to be able to issue this day week.
Let me beg that you will retain in your own hands the next $50 or $60 you may receive — handing over to your fair correspondent whatever may be coming to her. [page 39:]
I rejoice to tell you that I, at last, feel certain that the Messenger is placed on a safe and solid foundation. What I have undergone to bring about so desirable an event cannot be well imagined. I forbear to speak on the subject.
Your Friend,
T. W. White.

April 7, 1838.(104)
My dear Friend,
I am in receipt of your acceptable favor of the 3d inst. I will dispose of Mr. Tucker's Book.(105) Dew,(106) I am sure, cannot find time to attend to it. In fact, it is too dry a subject for a work like the Messenger any how.
You done right to retain Gov. Everett's letters.(107) Do him all the good you can. — for he is really a most deserving man.
I am glad to hear that I may expect Professor Felton's manuscript shortly. I fear, however, that it will come too late for my May No.
I will indeed pardon you. I did not, I assure you, mean to make a convenience of you — far from it.
As the writer of the Western Story used his universally adopted signature,(108) I did not exactly feel at liberty to substitute any other for it. In my next, I shall say so, on my own hook, "by L. M. of Washington City." The writer is Alfred Balch,(109) of (Bureau) War Dep. brother-in-law to Gen. Macomb.(110)
Truly your friend,
T. W. White. [page 40:]

April 31, 1838.(111)
My Dear Friend,
I duly received your kind, high-minded letter of 20th. I should have replied to it at once, if I had not been, as it were overwhelmed with business, and with real heartfelt troubles.
It is useless for me to say what I felt on reading your letter. Regret at your declining to receive compensation hereafter for what you may do for me, is too unmeaning a word to convey to you what I should like to say.
Indeed, I know not what to say. Disinterestedness like yours, under all circumstances, is rare — very rare. To say still that I do not admire the notice, would be to speak a falsehood. But, as I know not what to say further, I will drop the subject, at least for the present.
Whenever you have time, once your feelings carry you that way, I will hope that you will still write for me.
I am glad to hear that you are determined to review Tucker's Jefferson for me — as well as to finish some other things which you have on hand. — Come when they may, they will be most welcome — as any and every thing from your pen will at all times be.
I was pleased to hear that you liked the "Sleet Storm."(112) It is a first-rate article — and its author (Brent) is a man of fine taste and talents.
Dr. Warner penned the Review of the Messenger which appeared in the Enquirer.(113) He had no idea at the time he wrote the Review, that you were the author of the article on Sunday Schools.(114) He it was also who wrote the article in commendation of Ferdinand & Isabella in the Enquirer.(115)
My May No. is all up and all worked off except the last form — but still the Binder will not be able to let me have perfect copies before the 10th. If I am not greatly mistaken it will please you very much.
As ever your friend,
T. W. White.

May 12, 1838.(116)
My Dear Friend,
I have yours of the 10th. It affords me great pleasure to supply your call for the numbers asked for.
Thank you [[for]] what you have done with Blackwood. I shall make use of all you have selected as I may fall short of copy.(117)
I am glad to hear that you still think of me. Come from your pen ever so much, or ever so little, and it shall be sure to find a place in the Messenger,
Mr. Lewis Hill who will hand you this is on a collecting trip to Charlottesville. If you have not already handed the accounts over to some collector he will be pleased to take charge of them, and gather in the money. — In case you give them to him, I have asked the favor of him to hand the collections over to you in order that you may pay a certain debt I owe to a certain fair one.
If you will not tell me through the Advocate what you think of my May No. I hope you will tell me by letter to myself. As usual, I am in greatly in love with my last child.
Truly your friend,
T. W. White.

June 5, 1838.(118)
My dear Friend,
Yours of 2d, postmarked 4th, came to hand this afternoon. Such disinterestness [sic] is so rare, that I must again and again thank you.
Yes — yes — the lady was richly entitled to the $25, — and, as for yourself, you were really entitled to the balance, and 4 times as much more. You are indeed an honest man — and that is a high compliment to be able to pay any man.
Certainly 10 per ct. is enough to pay any stationary collector. — But, if he claims 12 per ct. why pay it to him. [page 42:]
Get from him, if you please, the names of those who paid him — so that I may make the proper entry.
Truly your friend,
Th: W. White.
Richmond, Va.
June 19, 1838.(119)
My Dear Friend,
I am truly sorry to hear that you are a dyspectic [sic] in mind. I wish I knew how to minister to or for such a disease. Alas! I am so great a numskull that I know not what advice or what consolation to give you. I know not what Happiness is. My existence is as a dream. Neither solitude nor society has any longer any charms for me. I feel lost — lost to myself and to every one else. What are we, my dear friend, and for what purposes were we created? You are a thinker, and may possibly be able to solve that which to me is a riddle.
I have credited Ch: Carter, D. F. Carr, S. P. Gates, & Professor Rogers $5 each for Vol. 4. — and Jefferson Society $10 for Vols. 3 & 4.
I am obliged to put the form to press in the morning containing your notice of Mr. Everett's Address.(120) Your "Remarkable Prediction" reached me just in time to insert it in the same form.(121) When this form is worked off at press the July No., except the covers, will have been all finished. — Thus I hope to issue my July No. next Friday week.
Th: Ewing, now of Ohio, takes the lead in it. His essay is on Ancient Literature.(122) It is a production that would do no discredit to any one man in America.
I will send you an early copy. If you should regain your health, I am in hopes you will at least pay your respects to this one article at any rate — and that too in the "Advocate" or "Arena."(123)
The "Georgia Scenes" are from the Pen of Judge Augustus Longstreet, [page 43:] of Augusta, Geo.(124) The Bachelor's Death-Bed is by B. W. Huntington, of Camden, S. C. formerly a Teacher in Judge Henry Tucker's family.(125)

Lucian Minor, Esq.
My Friend:
(And well may I style you "my friend" — for you have, in need, and, in deed, been one to me)
I am in so nervous a trim to-day, that I can scarcely hold my pen. As for writing, I never could do much at that: the little gift I once had in this way, seems to be leaving me. I feel myself a poor, miserable dependant creature — miserable and wretched indeed am I.
Do read Judge Augustus Longstreet's electioneering story. — I like it very much, because there is as much of nature as of truth in it. As you read it, mark any errors you may see in it. — I am truly too sick to do it. Would to God I was out of debt and had something to settle on my poor children, — if it could have been so, I would see what benefit a sea-trip would be to me.
But I cannot, for the life of me, write.
I shall make ready a copy of my July No. and send it along with this. — If you are well enough, and can find time to write a notice of it, and will endorse it to me, I will get Seaton to put it in his Intelligencer.(127) If you do write it for me, be sure and let it reach me by next Monday night's Stage. I hope to get a pretty good supply of the Messenger's out of the Binder's hands on Friday — and to finish all the mailing on Tuesday 3d July.
In Introducing Judge Longstreet's Story, take care and pay it all the compliments you may think due to it.(128)
Again, Adieu!
I am too sick — too agitated to write.
Your Friend,
T. W. White. [page 44:]
Richard Pollard's daughter, Mrs. Henderson, wrote "Vicissitudes of Life" in my June No.(129)
Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, writes the leader in my July No. — He is as great, as good, and as wise a man as lives in America.(130)
The July No. is greatly to my taste.

My dear Friend:
I feel it a duty — a debt of gratitude — which I owe to Mr. Heath, to republish his Address,(132) though it be ever so extensively republished before I can bring it out.
I have read it over and marked some few errors in it — there are a doubtless a great many more, which you will be certain to detect as you read it. My object in sending it to you is to get the favor of you to write some editorial remarks on it.(133) — I should like them to appear in the form of a note. — saying candidly what estimate you place on it as a production, and what you think of his arguments — and the deductions he draws from them.
If possible, oblige me, — and return me the slips and editorial by next Tuesday week.
I miss your effusions very much from my pages — I hope you will find leisure shortly to send me something more. I have been looking for something from the Augusta Mirror. — Possibly you did not receive the several numbers which I forwarded to you.
I perceive that your notice of Gov. Everett's Address has been copied into a great many of the papers.
Pray tell me when you think you will be able to get at the Review of Tucker's Jefferson? I will insert it whenever you send it. [page 45:]
Professor Felton has not been as goad as his word.(134) Possibly he thought better of it.
Your Friend,
Th: W. White.

Aug. 23, 1838.(135)
My dear Friend:
I fear I neglected to tell you that you shall see "Popular Errors" in my Oct. No.(136)
If I mistake not, I also forgot to thank you for correcting the errors in Mr. H's Lecture, as also for penning the note for me, which is exactly the thing I desired.
I wish you write an editorial note for me, after his allusion to Kennedy or Irving. My child Eliza, who has read Ingraham's Burton,(137) tells me that it is equal to, if not better than, any American novel she has ever read. — She thinks it very much like Sir Walter's writings. I therefore should like to have you speak for me of Ingraham and of Simms also? [sic](138) Do oblige me.
Your nervous, agitated, feeling
& sensitive friend,

My dear Friend:
Your favor of the 6th inst. was a welcome visitor. I am rejoiced to hear you say that you do not intend to abandon me for any other work. This is a good sign: it proves to me also that I have so conducted myself, as to merit your regard through "good and evil report." I have gone through many a hard rub in the five years I have been toiling to raise up the "Messenger". My "pretensions" have been laughed at and ridiculed by thousands of our race. My failure, and [page 46:] the failure of my work, predicted week after week, month after month, and year after year. Thanks to Him, who looks down with pity on all who aim to do right, for carrying me through thus far. Thanks to my few friends, for sticking fast to me: I take pride and pleasure in numbering yourself among those few: and I shall to the day of my death, remember with a heart full of gratitude the many acts of disinterested friendship you have shown to me and my pet.
Whenever you get any of the articles ready of which you speak, I shall of course be pleased to have them.
It strikes me that you will be quite pleased with my Nov. issue — two copies of which I send you in advance of the day of publication — these you will please not show till you see the No. announced as being ready, or hear of its arrival in Charlottesville — Tell me, if you please, what you think of it.
I will try and bring Mr. Pollock out on the subjects you allude. By the bye, the notice of Dr. Carroll's Address is from his pen.(140)
I send you a copy of Mr. Davidson's English Grammar? [sic] (141) Did you ever receive a copy of Stevens' Travels from me.(142)
You were right. I did wish you to retain Mr. Andrew's letter.(143)
While it is upon my mind, let me tell you of one thing which I must beg you will do for me. I wish to get the favor of you to pen what you may consider an appropriate address for me for the 1st No. of my fifth Vol.(144) I want you to let me have it also by the 6th day of November. Speak, if you please, of my increased patronage. My list is now rather over 2,000 — this is good for 20,000 readers. People, every where, believe I have 10,000 subscribers.(145) Such is the rumor of the day.
In haste!

My Dear Friend:
I wish you would read the Catholic priest's letter. You will see at once that it is in reply to a few lines only from me, asking him to point the passages which he objected to. To yourself I have to appeal to draft me a reply to his 2d letter. I ought, perhaps, to tell you that great fault was found with me by very many of my subscribers for admitting into my pages my friend Lynch's articles on the "Influence of Morals."(147) — They were considered altogether too Catholic, and, liberal as I am to all mankind, you will see from a letter which I enclose from the able Reviewer of Mr. Buckingham's Book,(148) that I really had qualms of conscience about giving currency to my excellent friend's Catholic notions. Thank God! not one of my Christian friends was quite bigot enough to quit me for inserting these papers.
I wish you would spare the time to look over the Baltimore Museum, and, if you can do so conscientiously, I should be pleased to have you say a word in its favor.
Your Friend,
T. W. White.
Richmond, Va.
Oct. 29, 1838.(149)
My dear Friend:
Your favors of 25th & 26th are most welcome. Indeed any and every thing emanating from your pen and mind is always acceptable, — acceptable to me at least.
I feel the cut you have given me. I feel too that I deserve the stab, — and therefore it is that I thank you for inflicting the wound. In this case, I both forgive and forget, knowing full well that I richly merited the laceration. I promise, in all future time, to behave with more prudence.
I assure you I should not have asked about Stevens' travels, if I had not feared the Volumes had not found their way to you. I have no use whatever for them, and therefore return them to you. You may find time to read them some day. I fear I never shall. [page 48:]
The translation you speak of never reached me. I am sorry it did not, as I am sure it would been acceptable to my readers.
I feared H. Frost's was unsuitable for my pages? Poor fellow — he will be my bitter enemy, because I shall have to deal justly with him.
I certainly, if I know myself, am most grate-[ful] for the notice of the Museum and Almanac?(150) But they are both too late for my Dec. No. short as they are.
Whenever you shall have either one of the three Reviews ready, please let me have the M. S.? I wish it could have been so, that I could have gotten one for my Jan. issue? But, I will not be importunate. I shall wait your own good pleasure.
Truly your Friend,

Lucian Minor, Esq.
My Dear Friend:
It has been out of my power, till now, to return an answer to your favor of the 28th inst.
If there is a gentleman living on earth, that I would put myself out to serve, that individual is yourself. Hence it pains me much to be obliged to decline doing you the service asked. But when I give you my reasons, I am sure you will approve of them.
1. Lectures, Addresses, Orations and Sermons, when published as such, have been objected to by nine-tenths of my readers. Hence they are quite unpopular.
2. I am applied to from almost every quarter, and from nearly every State in the Union, to give place to this species of reading, — and of late I have been forced to say nay to all,
3. Even here, at home, I have been appealed to lately, to open my pages to several able addresses, delivered too by persons for whom I have the most sincere regard, — to all which applications I have had reluctantly to say "no" — a hard word for me to use, I assure you.
3 [sic]. If I was to insert my personal, and at last my political, friends' addresses, I should raise at once a hornet's nest about my head and ears, that I should not soon get clear of, — for you must know that I have a host of these gentlemen before my eyes, each one of whom would be for giving me the lash, if I presumed to pass their claims over for those of Mr. Rives.(152) [page 49:]
Thus, my dear friend, have I given you my reasons, why I am obliged to say no, even to the man who has done me, in times past, such signal services — services which I shall never forget.
I am glad to hear you say that you do not despair of sending me something, now and then: when your paper gets well under weigh [sic].(153) I shalt, as you know, be most happy at any time to receive any contributions for the Messenger from your pen. I wish you all the success one now can possibly wish another in your new undertaking. You are on the right side in politics — and I rejoice that it is so. The present administration is a most corrupt one — and the whole of them out [sic] to be ousted by the people.
Your Friend,
Th: W. White.

Lucian Minor, Esq.
My Dear Friend, —
I have, I am sorry to say, mislaid your memoranda? [sic] Please send me again, a list of those names you would like me to despatch copies of the January No. to, — and I will send them on with great pleasure.
I am delighted with your contributions to my January No. — Both are excellent, well-timed, and calculated to do great good. Do, my dear Sir, as you can spare the time, send me the drippings of your pen. Everything you send me, tells — TELLS — TELLS.
I will be greatly your debtor, my friend, if you will speedily call public attention to my last issue. I think it a great number — the best issue of a Magazine, of American composition, ever ushered forth from the American press.
Truly your Friend,
Th: W. White.

text:
The extensive and rapid growth of the world has been largely attributed to the technology developed by engineers, scientists and architects. In the past, the Industrial Revolution in the UK had helped to develop it into a sprawling city with the newest technology, improving the quality of living of its citizens in the long run. Today, with the rise of globalisation, the frequency of technology booms has increased greatly. However, recent failures involving technology has raised the question of the modern world being too reliant on technology. Indeed, it seems as if the world has become overly dependent on technology, such that people become unable to complete certain tasks in the case of mechanical failure, or become overly addicted to the use of computers, phones and tablets. Further, there is the question of important tasks and ethical decisions being delegated to technological devices as substitutes.
Some argue that there is no problem with tasks being done by machines and computer programs, because it relieves us of some degree of effort and helps to complete such tasks more efficaciously. This allows for people to use more time and effort on other tasks, or even to take a rest, improving their quality of living. However, such an analysis would hold only in an ideal world without mechanical failures and mistakes. Often, technology being marketed and used does serve its purposes, but when it malfunctions or fails due to a variety of reasons, it can often lead to catastrophic consequences. The problem underlying this is that people today have begun to assume that technology has help them to do their jobs, leading to a decreased focus on honing skills to do those jobs themselves. A key example is that of the aviation industry. As a result of complex algorithms and computer programming, most planes have in-built autopilot sequences that help to relieve a pilot from flying the plane by himself, save taking off and landing. However, this has led to an overwhelming assumption that this has meant pilots have reduced duties, so pilots practice less, are less alert on the flight, and reports have shown that this causes their skills to atrophy. This was exemplified in the high-profile Air France crash in 2009, in which the Airbus A330's autopilot malfunctioned upon hitting a storm at a high altitude. The pilot, who had not been paying attention, failed to regain control of the plane, leading to the death of all 228 people on board. On board a flight, it is the key responsibility of the pilot to ensure the safety of his or her passengers. In this case, the pilot had delegated his job to the autopilot function, which could potential harm or kill others in a malfunction. In the same way, a misplaced dependency on technology could possibly constitute a harm to others — it is clear that people have indeed become overly reliant on technology.
Some go on to contest that technology could reduce errors in human judgement, helping to increase the accuracy of decision-making. This would purportedly result in fewer mistakes made, increasing efficiency and productivity. On the other hand, proponents of such a view fail to take into account that there are simply some tasks which must be made by humans alone, and should not be delegated to artificial intelligences. Such tasks often involve moral decisions to be made, in which the judgement of a human who possesses emotions and morality on top of just rationality is highly valued. For instance, the use of drones directed by artificial intelligence has raised huge questions of whether such computer programs which are cold and unfeeling should be allowed to make major decisions such as whether to take the life of another human. Often, situations that occur in reality are complex, with many competing interests and considerations. Computer programs and technology fail at taking into account these complexities, making decisions that may not seem moral to the average reasonable person. For example, in a terrorist hostage situation, a computer program might implement a utilitarian calculus, deciding that it is more rational to obliterate the site using missiles and bombs, at the cost of the innocent hostages. However, a general in the army may disagree, because he recognises the significance of saving those innocents, even though it might mean having to negotiate or make concessions. In such an instance, it is difficult, or even unjustified to allow technology to replace such decision-making. The current use of such means as ways to make decisions shows the world's excessive reliance on technology.
Beyond this, an obsession with the capabilities of technology can lead to detriments, because people begin to lose sight of the original intention of the technology. This goes counter to the ability of technology to relieve people of certain tasks and make them more efficient. Many individuals are constantly glued to their mobile phones and computers, spending countless hours whiling their time on surfing the internet, chatting to friends or playing games. For example, in the UK, consumers of digital media spend an average of nine hours a day on their digital products. This takes away time from their work, school life and other interests they may have. As a result, they become less efficient in making good use of their time, instead becoming unproductive. Such excessive use of technology turns out to be counterproductive to its original goal of encouraging efficiency. Hence, when this occurs, people can be said to be too reliant on technology.
In essence, the world has become too reliant on technology, evidenced by individuals' reduced ability to perform tasks on their own under the aid of technology — when the technology fails, they become incompetent at solving the problems on their own. This is especially problematic, because it is difficult to tell when the technological device is likely to malfunction. Further, the reliance of technology has spread to areas of decision-making that should be limited to humans, reflecting a dangerous trust in technology to help us make important social decisions. These reflect the fact that technology has the potential to cause harm, especially when people become careless and too unassuming. However, this is not to say that we should stop using new technologies, because they do present a host of benefits, but that we should not completely relinquish the need for humans to be proficient at performing certain tasks on their own, even when technology could possibly be a complete substitute for their function.

The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Partners with Genisphere to Develop Rapid, High-Throughput Allergy TestJanuary 31, 2013
January 31, 2013 – The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Genisphere have agreed to jointly develop a new allergy test that will quickly and effectively characterize patients' food allergies. The peptide-bead-based test will be high-throughput, semi-automatic and accurate, surpassing the reliability of current allergy-testing methods. The partnership was established through Mount Sinai's Blue Mountain Technologies, a program that encourages the commercialization of novel research reagents, diagnostics and therapeutics based on Icahn School of Medicine research.
Hugh Sampson, MD, Chief of the Division of Allergy & Immunology in the Department of Pediatrics and Dean for Translational Biomedical Research at the Icahn School of Medicine, and his laboratory, will team with Genisphere to adapt existing allergy tests to the specifications laid out under this new agreement. The new allergy test seeks to avoid reproducibility limitations and will generate "food allergy panels" for various food allergens.
"We look forward to working with Genisphere on these novel assays that should help the clinician better diagnose and counsel food allergic patients," said Dr. Sampson. "Mount Sinai is proud of Dr. Sampson and his team for their continued progress in finding solutions to help patients who suffer from food allergies," stated Dennis Charney, MD, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Dean of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs for The Mount Sinai Medical Center. "Partnering with Genisphere promotes the culture of innovation and collaboration needed to expedite treatments to patients locally and around the world."
At Mount Sinai, Dr. Sampson's research interests have focused on food-allergic disorders, including characterization of food allergens and novel immunotherapeutic strategies (recombinant-engineered protein, plasmid DNA, and peptide) for treating food allergies. His research has been funded by a number of grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and private foundations. He is also the primary investigator on the NIH-sponsored Consortium of Food Allergy research, a group that was established to conduct multi-center clinical trials, observational studies, mechanistic studies and basic research towards further understanding of the best possible treatment approaches for food allergies.
Genisphere, an established life science and diagnostic technology leader, has scientific and commercial interest in developing biomarker signatures for use in diagnostics or other personalized medical applications. "We are delighted to continue our collaborative partnership with Dr. Sampson and the accomplished scientists at Mount Sinai to adapt the peptide panels into a rapid test that can benefit millions of people who suffer from allergies to various foods," said Robert Getts, PhD, Chief Science Officer of Genisphere.

Ecto-1 Returns in Teaser for Secret Ghostbusters Movie
Trailer teases the return of the Ghostbusters with a malfunctioning proton pack and a rusting Ecto-1.
A new Ghostbusters is coming in 2020! It was announced this week with the arrival of this short but effective teaser trailer. It's an eerie night and spine-tingling music from the original Ghostbusters score is playing as the camera moves past a fence dripping with ectoplasm into an creepy barn where we hear the sound of proton pack that won't start. And then the wind blows up a tarp to reveal a rusting Ecto-1.
The new film is being directed and co-written by Jason Reitman, the son of Ivan Reitman who directed the original Ghostbusters.
"I've always thought of myself as the first Ghostbusters fan, when I was a 6-year-old visiting the set. I wanted to make a movie for all the other fans," Reitman told Entertainment Weekly. "This is the next chapter in the original franchise. It is not a reboot. What happened in the '80s happened in the '80s, and this is set in the present day."
For those of us who grew up in the 80s, the 1984 Ghostbusters film was probably one of our earliest introductions to the occult, inspiring a lifetime of obsession. Sure, I was disappointed when I learned Tobin's Spirit Guide wasn't real, but my hope was renewed when I discovered real occult texts. And of course Ecto-1, a 1959 Cadillac built by the Miller-Meteor company, kick-started a love for hearses.
Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?
I probably had not even heard of these things before Ghostbusters.
The new Ghostbusters is set for a 2020 release.

US special forces engaged in combat with aliens during the Vietnam war
This incident happened in early 1972 during the Vietnam War. A US Special Forces group was secretly delivered at night and parachuted in an area on the Cambodia-North Vietnamese border.
The operation was vital: to destroy a facility in North Vietnam, which, as it was possible to establish by American intelligence, was secretly overhearing top secret conversations of the US Army in South Vietnam.
The SWAT team set up camp for the night, preparing to assault the North Vietnamese team at dawn. In the early morning, the commandos quietly crept up to the Vietnamese base, but what they saw there shocked and frightened them.
As the team got closer to the location of the North Vietnamese unit, they suddenly discovered that there was a large spherical ship that stood on three sturdy metal supports.
The ship suddenly began to hum, causing instant sickness, dizziness, and disorientation in the US military.
The group leader was about to issue a command to retreat when a group of strange looking humanoid creatures appeared.
Not believing what they saw, the special forces group was even more frightened by what these creatures were doing (according to the description of the soldiers, taking into account modern data based on numerous contacts, it can be assumed that they were "gray"): the aliens got out of a large pile various parts of human bodies and placed them in large containers – arms, legs, torso, heads; this terrible list went on and on.
Some were the remains of white people, others were black (US Army soldiers), and others looked like Vietnamese (Vietnamese soldiers from the base).
What they saw sobered and angered the special forces and the commander gave the order to open fire – the bullets hit the bodies of the creatures, but they did not do any harm, except for one who was killed by a shot in the head.
Several commandos were killed, and others were seriously injured by the effects of unknown weapons. Then the aliens quickly retreated into the ship and he quickly rushed into the sky,
Soon, another CIA team appeared on the scene, as one of the survivors said they were all given some kind of mind-altering drugs to try to make them forget about this incredible fight. And it worked, at least for a while.
However, in the late 1980s, two members of the special forces team who took part in that battle began to have nightmarish memories of the events of April 1972, which prompted one of them to contact many other special forces who were found and who were still alive.
Two had already died, three were not found at all, but the rest were able to meet in August 1988 and decided that this story should be told.
They turned to researcher and ufologist Leonard Stringfield and he published their story in his 1991 book.
The story is told in Stringfield's UFO Crash Retrievals: The Inner Sanctum.

UK UFO case to be kept secret until 2072
The UK Department of Defense has blocked the planned release of a dossier detailing the famous UFO incident.
Back in August 1990, two tourists walking in the Scottish Highlands near Calvine, Pitlochry, witnessed a strange rhombic object hovering over the nearby landscape.
They managed to take pictures of the UFO before it flew away at significant speed.
Eager to share what they saw, the couple contacted the Scottish Daily Record and shared both their story and the photos they took.
Then the journalists shared the pictures with the UK Department of Defense.
It turned out that the tourists weren't the only ones who saw the object – the pilot of the RAF Harrier jet also witnessed the phenomenon – again near Calvine – after being forced to investigate this UFO.
Military intelligence officers sent these images to JARIC, which is the Joint Air Intelligence and Reconnaissance Center.
It is the UK's military center of excellence when it comes to image analysis. These intelligence officers concluded that these photographs were real and that no one had the slightest idea what they were.
Thirty years later, the dossier of the Ministry of Defense, including photographs, was scheduled for declassification and publication, which is typical of such documents.
However, the release has now been postponed for another 50 years for unknown reasons.
According to the 30-year rule, the file was supposed to be released on January 1, 2021, but if the ministry gets it, it won't be released until January 1, 2072 – an 82-year closure.
"By the time the world gets to see the file, the two witnesses will be dead. It is crazy. What are the authorities trying to hide?"
A complaint lodged under the Freedom of Information Act about the National Archives withholding the documents is now under investigation by the UK information watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office.
The National Archives refused to comment further. The MOD refused to comment at all.
What are the authorities trying to hide?

FBI decrypted documents confirm that there are giant aliens
The topic of aliens has always attracted attention. Recently, foreign media disclosed that a declassified document released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) once again confirmed the existence of UFOs and aliens.
FBI Declassified Document: Describes UFO and Aliens
The British "Daily Star" reported that earlier this year, the FBI released the decrypted documents in 1947. The 70-page decrypted report contained a "Memorandum 6751". The person who wrote the report was an anonymous university professor.
"Memorandum 6751″ mentioned that there were flying saucers, unidentified creatures, and " giant aliens resembling humans ".
The report stated that these aliens are like humans, "but larger in size. They are not from any planet known to people, but from the etheric." "Ether" is a term used in ancient Greece, generally referring to the atmosphere or sky.
There is also a description of the flying saucer in the decryption report, which refers to the fact that most of the flying saucers are loaded with alien creatures. The flying saucers have powerful radiation, are very fast, and have powerful attack capabilities.
"These flying saucers have a kind of radiant energy or light that can easily disintegrate any spacecraft that launches an attack. They can re-enter (earth) from the ether at will, or they can simply disappear from our sight without leaving a trace."
The report states, "If one of these (flying saucers) is attacked, the attacking aircraft will almost certainly be destroyed. As far as the general public is concerned, this may lead to proximity panic and international suspicion."
Tesla is a " Venusian "
In recent years, due to the expiration of the confidentiality period, the FBI has published many decrypted documents on its official website, including one about the famous inventor Nicholas. Tesla (Nikola Tesla) declassified documents, caused a public heat. The document mentioned that Tesla came from "Venus" and was an "alien".
The decrypted document is called "Nikola Tesla Part03 of03". It is the third document about Nikola Tesla decrypted by the FBI. It has 64 pages of content, some of which are blacked out and cannot be distinguished.
The remaining content that is not blacked out contains the following passage: "The people of the universe have contacted Nikola Tesla many times and told the FBI that Tesla was from Venus. Tesla was brought to the earth in 1856 to a Yugoslav couple to raise."
The publication of this document shocked the world. Faced with a wave of discussions and doubts from netizens, the FBI did not make any response or explanation, which is even more curious.
F-18 fighters chase UFO
"The Wall Street Journal" recently reported that the non-profit organization "National UFO Reporting Center" data shows that so far this year, UFO sightings have increased by 51% over the same period last year. The center has received approximately 5,000 sightings reported.
On September 8, the United States retired Lieutenant Colonel David. David Fravor accepted the Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientist Rex. In a live webcast interview with Lex Fridman, he talked about the bizarre experience of driving an F-18 fighter jet to chase UFOs 16 years ago.
On November 14, 2004, a UFO was found in the waters of San Diego, California, and Frevo piloted an F-18 fighter to investigate. Both he and the pilot of the other fighter saw a white Tic Tac mint-shaped flying object.
Subsequently, the pilot Chad Underwood flew an F-18 fighter jet, caught UFO on the radar, and successfully filmed UFO video with an infrared camera.
In April this year, the Pentagon released three videos of UFOs, one of which was taken by Underwood during this operation.
12 U.S. soldiers live on alien planets
Former Minister of Defense of Canada Paul. Paul T. Hellyer once disclosed that there are aliens living on the earth and working for the US government. Many US presidents have also admitted the existence of aliens on different occasions.
In addition, some U.S. military personnel disclosed that a top-secret exchange between the U.S. military and aliens was named "Operation Zeta," and an alien envoy came to the United States. In July 1965, 12 American soldiers secretly boarded an alien spacecraft to the planet Zeta.
Of these 12 people, 4 never returned to Earth. Of these 4 people, 2 died, 2 chose to stay on Zeta, and the remaining 8 returned to Earth 13 years later.

Liberty Christian Prep (Tavares, Fla.) junior Tacko Fall is America's tallest high school basketball player.
At 7-foot-5, Fall stands 9 inches taller than LeBron James and just 3 inches shorter than 7-foot-8 D-Leaguer Paul Sturgess, the tallest professional basketball player alive. Fall also has an 8-foot wingspan and wears a size 22 shoe, just like Shaquille O'Neal.
RELATED: The Perils of Paul Sturgess, The Tallest Basketball Player in the World
During the 2013-14 season, Fall averaged 11.1 points, and his team was 11-15, which doesn't make much sense considering their only play could have been an alley-oop to Fall, who could slam the ball through the hoop over his foot-shorter defenders.
Originally from the west coast of Africa, Fall started playing basketball just this year. His coaches say that to earn the attention of top college programs, he needs to develop his basketball skills a little more before his senior year.

According to The Orlando Sentinel, Fall's dreams include playing in the NBA and becoming a biochemist. If he were in the NBA right now, he would be the tallest player in the league.

Spring workout with Royals saved Chen's career
Lefty impressed KC brass while preparing for 2009 World Baseball Classic
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- It was late February 2009, and the phone call flicked across this Spring Training town northwest of Phoenix from Bruce Chen's house to Rene Francisco at the Royals' complex.
Chen: "Rene, I'm getting ready for the World Baseball Classic, would you guys let me throw at your complex?"
Francisco: "Where do you live?"
Chen: "Right here, in Surprise."
Francisco: "Sure, just come on over."
Chen: "And, by the way, I'm looking for a job. I'm a free agent."
Francisco: "We'll come and watch you throw."
Francisco, the Royals' assistant general manager/international operations, smiled when he recalled the conversation.
"And the rest is history," Francisco said.
Good history for the Royals. Because the next morning -- March 1, 2009 -- Francisco and several other officials watched Chen, who hadn't pitched the year before, throw a bullpen session. Before the day was over, Chen signed a contract, and he has been winning games for Kansas City ever since.
It took Chen a while to get going. After all, he had missed most of 2007 and all of '08 because of an elbow ailment that required Tommy John surgery. By then, the left-hander was 30 years old and a 10-year big league veteran who'd already pitched for nine teams.
Sure, Chen had thought he might be washed up.
"Numerous times," Chen said. "In 2006, I didn't have a very good year with the Orioles[(0-7, 6.93 ERA]. I signed with Texas, got sent down, got hurt. In 2008, I didn't even pitch. And in 2009, I couldn't find a job until the Royals offered me a contract.
"I just kept working really hard to give it everything I could. Whatever happened, I didn't want it to be that I couldn't pitch because I didn't put in the effort."
What got Chen back into the flow was pitching for his native Panama in the 2009 World Baseball Classic. He did that just after signing with the Royals. Then he came to Spring Training and was assigned to Triple-A Omaha.
Chen did well enough that he was called up to Kansas City in late June 2009. The results weren't anything to write home to Panama about: He pitched in 17 games, including nine starts, and went 1-6 with a 5.78 ERA.
Combine that with his ill-fated 2006 with the Orioles and '07 with the Rangers, and in 62 games (21 starts) from '06-09, he had a 1-13 record and a 6.53 ERA. Ugly numbers.
Chen had his elbow fixed up and had managed to get back to the Majors with the Royals, but things weren't right.
"In 2009, I started getting all these injuries because I didn't use my body for two years," Chen said. "So I got a lat strain, my oblique, my knees -- all these things I never had before, but I realized I hadn't pitched in two years and these things were going to happen because my body's readjusting again."
He resolved to turn things around.
"When I look back on all of the stuff, people look at the Tommy John surgery as the turning point of my career. I don't see that. I see the end of 2009 as the turning point of my career," Chen said.
"Why? Because I was going through some personal issues, a divorce, but I came here [to the Surprise complex] and this is the first time I worked out in the offseason, professionally with a group."
Supervising that group of Royals was Ryan Stoneberg, then the Minor League strength and conditioning coach, who now holds that position with the big league club.
"Bruce is a really nice guy who's very receptive to instruction," Stoneberg said, "and I think he just found himself in an environment where we gave him a lot of TLC, a lot of quality instruction."
Chen strengthened the weaker areas of his body, and in 2010, he paced the Royals' starting staff with a 12-7 record. He signed back as a free agent and led the '11 team in wins again with a 12-8 record.
During this time, Chen had found a natural soul mate in then-Royals pitching coach Bob McClure, a lefty who had pitched for 19 seasons in the Majors.
"I could relate to him. He understood," Chen said.
McClure said that Chen was leaving too many pitches up, needed to sink the ball and should try a sidearm delivery to keep left-handed hitters uncomfortable.
"[McClure] taught me to do everything necessary for me to succeed and pitch in the big leagues," Chen said. "That's why I dropped down with my arm angle. He's the one that taught me the cutter, the one who taught me how to watch the videos for my approach -- study everything I can so I can be a better pitcher."
McClure left after the 2011 season, but Chen again signed with the Royals as a free agent -- this time for two years. In '12, he again led the team in victories with an 11-14 mark.
Now Chen, who epitomizes the "crafty lefty" image, throws a variety of pitches from a variety of angles at a variety of speeds.
"And [current Royals pitching coach] Dave Eiland really understands the scouting reports, and what he tells me makes sense and I start grouping people in different categories," Chen said.
There was a different twist to Chen's 2013 season. He began in the bullpen and did well, eventually returning to the rotation in mid-July. He finished with a 9-4 record and a 3.27 ERA, the second-best ERA in his 15 big league seasons.
"Bruce has been our best pitcher, really, for the last three years," manager Ned Yost said. "He brings consistency, not only on the field, but in the clubhouse with his life and energy and his leadership in there. Just a steady guy."
That is why the Royals brought him back as a free agent once again this year to be their fourth starter.
There's a Panamanian angle to this season for Chen, too. He needs just three victories to reach 83 and pass Mariano Rivera, the retired Yankees great, with the most wins by a Panama-born pitcher. (It should be noted, however, that Rivera holds a lead over Chen in saves, 652 to 1.)
Chen, 36, grew up in Panama, where there's a large Chinese population that stemmed from workers building the Panama Canal, which opened in 1914. His grandparents settled there in the '40s.
His parents, Jose and Luisa Chen, along with his brother Kastulo and sister Karla, are all involved in operating a company that installs gas-pumping equipment in Panama. His father, an electrical engineer, was also a slow-pitch softball player, which is how Bruce got hooked on ball.
"I loved it," Chen recalled. "My dad saw that I liked it, so he started putting me in Little League games; I was horrible, but the more you practice and the more you go, the better you get. He was the one who actually encouraged me to keep going. I was never really strong, so when I hit, I didn't have that much power and when I threw, I didn't have that much velocity -- not that I have a lot right now."
When the Royals held a special fathers' trip last season for many of the dads, it was Jose Chen who stole the show by blasting the ball in batting practice.
"It's not official yet, but if we have the fathers' trip again, he's going to come. He has a title to defend. That was main reason I signed back," Chen said with a grin. "My dad had a great time. It was the first time that we were hanging out, just me and him, since I was a kid."
Chen had chances to sign elsewhere, but he felt a special kinship with the Royals.
"My wife, Mary, is from Kansas City and she never told me, 'Hey, sign with this team.' But when I told her I was going to sign with Kansas City, she was very happy," he said.
Chen still makes his home in the Phoenix area, where his daughters, Gabriela, 10, and Adriana, 6, also live.
He has some fine memories with the Royals -- an Opening Day start in 2012, a no-hit bid against the Angels, two Royals Pitcher of the Year Awards, a two-hitter against the Rays for his first career shutout -- among other things.
Yet nothing got him revved up like the Royals' bid for the playoffs last year. For all his experience, Chen has never been in the postseason, and the Royals haven't been there since winning the 1985 World Series.
So Chen feels his best memory is yet to come.
"I want to have the memory of getting to a postseason and seeing that," he said. "We have to work very hard, but that would be my ultimate goal: to see people cherish the 2014 team the way they cherish the 1985 team."

Leading conservative says Obama will win tax fight
A leading conservative who's resigning from the Senate is predicting that President Barack Obama will win the battle over raising taxes.
South Carolina Republican Jim DeMint calls it "a political trophy" within Obama's grasp. Appearing Thursday on "CBS This Morning," DeMint says, quote, "The president's proposal is not a plan, it's not a solution."
Asked why Obama and congressional Republicans can't agree on a plan to avert a fiscal cliff in less than three weeks, DeMint says both political parties have "failed" the country.
On Obama, the senator says, "He's going to get his wish. I believe we're going to be raising taxes and not just on the top earners."
DeMint is stepping down from the Senate to become president of the Heritage Institution, a conservative think tank.

The Core i7 980X Review: Intel's First 6-Core Desktop CPUby Anand Lal Shimpi on March 11, 2010 12:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- CPUs
A 12MB L3 Cache: 50% Larger, 14% Higher Latency
Gulftown sticks to Ronak's 2MB of L3 per core rule and has a full, 12MB shared L3 cache that's accessible by any or all of the six cores. It's actually because of the large unified L3 cache that performance in applications that don't use all six cores can be higher than quad-core Core i7s.
The added cache does come at the expense of higher access latency. Nehalem and Lynnfield had a 42-cycle 8MB L3, Gulftown has a 48 cycle 12MB L3. A 14% higher latency for a 50% increase in size. Not an insignificant penalty, but a tradeoff that makes sense.
Identical Power Consumption to the Core i7 975
Raja has been busy with his DC clamp meter measuring actual power consumption of CPUs themselves rather than measuring power consumption at the wall. The results below compare the actual power draw of the 32nm Core i7 980X to the 45nm Core i7 975. These values are just the CPU itself, the rest of the system is completely removed from the equation:
|Intel Core i7 980X
|Intel Core i7 975
Thanks to power gating, both of these chips idle at 6.3W. That's ridiculous for a 1.17B transistor chip. Under full load, the two are virtually identical - both drawing around 136W.
Westmere Goodness
The Core i7 980X is the first LGA-1366 processor based on Intel's Westmere architecture, but unlike Clarkdale it does not have an on-die PCIe controller or on-package graphics. If anything, Gulftown really looks like a 6-core, 32nm version of Bloomfield rather than a scaled up Clarkdale. The similarities to Bloomfield extend all the way to the memory controller. Gulftown only officially supports three channels of DDR3-1066 memory, not 1333MHz like Lynnfield or Clarkdale. Of course running DDR3-1333 memory is possible, but the memory controller is technically operating out of spec at that frequency.
The processor does retain the Westmere specific features. The first Core i7 did not power gate its L3 cache, Lynnfield added it and Gulftown has it as well. While Mainly improved power efficiency and AES-NI instructions. I looked at the performance improvement offered by AES-NI acceleration in our Clarkdale review. If you use BitLocker or do a lot of archive encryption/decryption, you'll appreciate Gulftown's AES-NI.

aigomorla - Thursday, March 11, 2010 - linkW3680 will be a workstation hexcore @ 3.2ghz
Im guessing since its a 3600 series, it will be a 1 x QPI, so it will not work in tandium on a DP board.
Xeons are uber expensive tho.
And this one if its gonna be priced like the W3580's is gonna have a price of around 1499.
Rev1 - Thursday, March 11, 2010 - linkI know the OC's were on stock cooling but being this chip starts out @ 3.33 ghz and having a smaller 32nm size, the OC capability seems very underwhelming. I heard this chip is good for extreme overclockers because they did away with the cold boot bug. This thing probably puts out to much heat for any current air or wc setup to get a good oc out. That being said i dont see replacing my D0 920 anytime soon. Reply
aigomorla - Thursday, March 11, 2010 - linkcome to our cpu and overclocking forum.
Or read one of my comments with a forum link.
I showed people what it can do on higher voltages, when you take heat away from the equation of being the limited value. Reply
Hacp - Thursday, March 11, 2010 - linkWith the 800 dollar premium over an I7 920, why don't you just build a second 920 system instead! Reply

I welcome you guys to join our forums.
You'll see more info on stuff on the OC potentials in that preview. Reply
atfuser - Thursday, March 11, 2010 - linkLooks like the i7-860 is where gamers and people who run lots of multicore apps want to spend their money. Gamers will save $750 and will see almost no difference in performance. Reply
RaistlinZ - Thursday, March 11, 2010 - linkYes, gamers will still be more than satisfied with their i7 920's @ 4Ghz. Especially considering those chips are only $200 at Microcenter these days.
I just hope the upcoming Xeon CPU's will have more of a mainstream price. Reply
quickbunnie - Thursday, March 11, 2010 - linkI think the L4D performance is actually due to the extra cores, as source engine games have n-1 multithreaded scaling. It's been shown to have diminishing returns past 3-4 cores, so a 6% bump for an extra 2 cores makes more sense to me than the extra cache, considering no other games show this level of performance increase Reply
vailr - Thursday, March 11, 2010 - linkWhat happens if you put this 6 core CPU in a non-upgraded bios X58 board? Do you then have the minimal functionality to be able to flash the bios to the updated version? Or does the system fail completely, to even show anything on the video display?
Just wondering... Reply
aigomorla - Thursday, March 11, 2010 - linkIf your bios can not handle gulftown, it will just refuse to post.
eVGA boards are even more picky. If you somehow manage to get a hold of an A0 stepping gulftown, you can not use the same bios on a B0 or B1 gulftown.
The b0 and b1 are the retail versions, while the A series were pure evaluation / testing samples.
Some asus boards should support gulftown without bios updates, however its still recommended u get one.
And if u guys come into our forums, you will see i pushed one up to 4.4ghz with HT ON, @ 1.388 vcore, so i think my 980X is better then the one Raja has.
Sorry Raja.. :P Reply

Just as the underlying investments in supposedly "safe" money markets are receiving increased scrutiny, so too are the underlying investments in stable value funds.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. is "shedding mortgage debt from a stable value fund, under pressure from insurers in a case raising questions about suitable investments for funds normally regarded as a super-safe haven for retirement savings," Reuters reports
Stable value funds, as the news service notes, are used in 80% of 401(k) self-directed retirement plans and are meant to be the most conservative choice for employees—liquid, plain vanilla and backed by insurance.
But the $1.7 billion JPMorgan Stable Asset Income Fund has invested as much as 13% in private mortgage debt underwritten and rated by the bank itself, according to documents reviewed by Reuters, leading to a potentially troubling conflict of interest. The portfolio is available through a collective trust, which pools assets among various 401(k) plans, as well as through separately managed accounts whose allocations closely mimic the portfolio.
JPMorgan cut that mortgage exposure to about 4% on Tuesday, but the industry average for all private placements in stable value funds is only about .5%, Reuters notes, citing Hueler Analytics.
The "stable value" largely comes from the purchase of insurance which, unlike money market funds, contains certain restrictions related to liquidity and redemptions. According to the Stable Value Investment Association, stable value funds are structured in two ways: as a separately managed account, which is a stable value fund managed for one specific 401(k) plan; or as a commingled fund, which pools assets from many 401(k) plans. Commingled funds offer the benefits of diversification and economies of scale for smaller plans.
"Regardless of how stable value funds are structured, they are comprised of a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities that are insulated from interest rate movements by contracts from banks and insurance companies," according to the association's website. "The protection from interest rate volatility is universal to stable value funds. How this contract protection is delivered depends on the type of stable value fund investment purchased."

Stephen Curry rose for another jumper, and by then even the Knicks probably figured it would go in.
Curry had hardly missed in a scintillating second half of the NBA's most electric performance this season, the crowd cheering even before the ball left his hands.
This time, Raymond Felton jumped with him, making the play New York needed to finally withstand Curry.
Felton's blocked shot led to J.R. Smith's tiebreaking basket with 1:10 left, and the Knicks overcame Curry's NBA season-high 54 points to beat the Golden State Warriors 109-105 on Wednesday night.
Curry was 18 of 28 from the field, finishing one 3-pointer shy of the NBA record with 11 in 13 attempts, in a performance that had the crowd hanging on his every shot. But the Knicks and Felton finally stopped him with 1:28 to play and the score tied at 105.
"My main thing is to keep playing. Like I said, once a guy gets it going like that, there's nothing I can really do. I've still got to stay in my mindset, still play my game, and I was still able to come up with some big plays at the end," Felton said. "We all came up with some big plays to get that win."
Carmelo Anthony followed Smith's basket with another one and the Knicks hung on to spoil former Knicks star and Warriors coach Mark Jackson's homecoming.
Anthony finished with 35 points and Smith had 26.
"We made the defensive stops we needed to make down the stretch," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said.
Playing all 48 minutes, Curry finished with seven assists and six rebounds while passing his previous career best of 42 points, and Kevin Durant's 52-point performance that had been the best in the NBA this season.
"I felt good all night. Obviously played the whole game, so was just trying to keep my legs underneath me on the offensive end, and you know, just stick to the game on the defensive end," Curry said. "Once I started seeing that 3-ball go down in transition, all sorts of spots on the floor, I knew it was going to be a good night."
But he had little help without All-Star forward David Lee, who was suspended one game for his role in an altercation Tuesday night in Indiana.
Tyson Chandler had 16 points and a career-best 28 rebounds for the Knicks, who won their second straight after a season-high, four-game losing streak. Amare Stoudemire had 14 points and Anthony added eight assists on the day the Knicks learned they could be without reserve forward Rasheed Wallace for the rest of the season because he needs surgery to repair a broken bone in his left foot.
Strutting all over the court whenever one of his 3s swished easily through the nets, Curry easily blew past the 38 points he scored Tuesday in Indiana, which had been his best of the season. That was spoiled when he was fined $35,000 for his role in the skirmish, which was essentially getting thrown to the ground by Roy Hibbert when he tried to intervene.
This performance — the most points by an NBA player in a loss since Kobe Bryant had 58 in a loss to Charlotte on Dec. 29, 2006 — was spoiled along with Jackson's trip back to his old home because of a few mistakes down the stretch.
Curry threw away a pass on the break with 3:13 left, and Jarrett Jack was called for a travel following Smith's go-ahead basket.
Plus, Klay Thompson finished 3 of 13 from the field, missing two straight from deep in the final minute.
Jackson, who grew up in Brooklyn and starred at St. John's before being drafted by the Knicks in 1987, didn't get a chance to coach here last season as an NBA rookie on the bench because of the lockout. He brought his wife, Desiree, to a road game for the first time this season, had his mother in the stands, and got a chance to see people he remembered from playing here years earlier.
He said he hadn't gotten to look ahead much to the game because of the schedule, but clearly enjoyed being back in Madison Square Garden once the day did arrive.
"This is a special place and it was part of my dreams as a kid," he said.
His night turned into Curry's, fans cheering even before the ball left his hand in the second half.
"We were short-handed and we needed a performance like that to have a chance," Jackson said. "He put on a clinic. Knocked down shots. Made plays. Carried us. Led us in rebounding. He did it all. I've seen a lot of great performances in this building and his goes up there. I've seen a lot. I've seen a lot, but that shooting performance was a thing of beauty."
The Knicks, who hadn't played since Sunday, looked ready to blow the Warriors out early, taking a 25-11 lead that the Warriors trimmed to 27-18 at the end of the first period before surging ahead behind Curry.
He scored 12 straight Golden State points, cutting it to 35-34 with his third 3-pointer of the second quarter. He followed Richard Jefferson's 3 with another one, giving the Warriors a 40-37 advantage. The Knicks recovered and went back ahead by nine late in the period before Curry answered with six consecutive points, and New York's lead was 58-55 at the break.
"He's a special young player with a very unique talent," Chandler said. "We ran everything at him. He just got hot. There was some shots that he couldn't have seen the rim."
Curry's drive gave the Warriors a two-point lead three minutes into the third quarter, but he didn't score again until hitting a turnaround 3 from 27 feet with 5 seconds left in the period, giving him 38 points again and cutting New York's lead to 84-81.
Already without Andrew Bogut because of a back injury, the Warriors had little size without Lee. Their lineup at one point in the second quarter had nobody taller than 6-foot-9 and Chandler simply climbed over them all night.
He came in leading the league with 4.4 offensive rebounds per game, and grabbed 13 boards in the first quarter alone.
Game notes
Chandler was also the last NBA player to grab 13 rebounds in one quarter, hauling in 14 in the third quarter for Dallas on Dec. 1, 2010. … Wallace, who hasn't played since December, will have surgery this week and the expected recovery time is eight weeks. Woodson said he didn't plan to waive the 38-year-old forward and create a roster spot, instead hoping he could be able to play in the postseason. … Kenyon Martin, signed last week in part because of the uncertainty around Wallace, made his Knicks debut and was scoreless in 5 first-half minutes.

Alan Tudyk has signed on to play Stephen A. Douglas in the big screen adaptation of "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter". It's funny because Alan is best know as playing Steve the Pirate in "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story". If at any point you thought, "Oh does he mean that guy from 'Firefly'?" then I'm going to ask you to leave right now.
Chris Pine, Alex Pettyfer and Shia LaBeouf are all expressing inner desires to play the lead role in the silver screen version of "Preacher". Pettyfer is the only one keeping me from being completely enraged about this and that's only because I have no freakin clue who he is. What's that? The kid from "Beastly" you say? Super! Maybe we can get Kevin Smith to direct and we can just call it a day.
If you don't know who Ray Harryhausen is then you don't know the joys of weird ass stop motion animation of years gone by. You should, that's the point I'm making. Well if not there's a new documentary about the man behind the effect of such classics as "Clash of the Titans" (the good one) and "Jason and the Argonauts" titled "Ray Harryhausen: Special Effects Titan". Bubo, look it up.
In the wake of the recent tragedies in Japan Legendary Pictures has asked Guillermo del Toro to revise the screenplay for his upcoming disaster film "Pacific Rim". The movie focuses around the a group of monsters that attack the earth and threaten to end us all. Click here for ways that you can help in the relief effort.
For the love of god you can't do anything without some jackass videotaping you, putting it on the internet and getting you arrested. You're driving a school bus like this women in Connecticut and you do a little texting, say 1,068 texts, and all of the sudden you're on video and going to jail. Alright in this case the video was being captured because you were already being investigated for abusing the special needs children you're suppose to be driving. Oh yeah it was special needs kids that you were putting in danger. Still! Technology kind of sucks.
And if you haven't already seen this video of a snake biting a woman's giant fake boob then you're in for a treat... and possibly some vomiting. Apparently the snake died of silicone poisoning after the attack which I will go on record as saying is good. because snakes are awful creatures that serve no purpose in the world but to be terrible. Happy Friday, kids.

The Pirate Bay may have found a new home for its controversial file-sharing activities: North Korea.
A notorious hotbed of illegal content, the service announced Monday it had been invited by North Korea to "fight our battles from their network." The announcement comes a week after threats from a local anti-piracy group forced The Pirate Bay out of Sweden, according to blog TorrentFreak.
If true, the move raises interesting questions about international copyright jurisdiction. But given the company's history of hoaxes, many observers say that the latest claim should be viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism.
"This is truly an ironic situation," read a press release posted Monday on Pirate Bay's website. "We have been fighting for a free world, and our opponents are mostly huge corporations from the United States of America, a place where freedom and freedom of speech is said to be held high."
In 2007, the Pirate Bay played an April Fool's Day hoax by announcing its headquarters would move to the North Korean embassy. A trace of the Pirate Bay's IP address has yielded multiple locations, including one for a joint venture between a Thai and North Korean company, Star Joint Venture, based in North Korea.
But some internet tech blogs have pointed out the ease with which Pirate Bay could spoof such a location to make it appear as though the company was hosted somewhere it was not.
The Pirate Bay has been a high-profile target for anti-piracy advocates since its founding in 2003. The company allows users to download copyrighted material through a peer-to-peer file-sharing network, and its founder was convicted of illegally downloading protected material in Sweden four years ago.
While international copyright issues are nothing new, North Korea could pose difficult legal challenges if it indeed hosted the Pirate Bay.
With an almost impenetrable government system, "the lack of transparency in their legal system" could make any lawsuit against Pirate Bay difficult, according to Paul Goldstein, a professor of law at Stanford Law School and a co-author of a treatise on international copyright published last year. "Depending on how the system is structured, one could arguably hold them directly liable for infringement of the public performance right."
That public performance right would apply to users uploading copyrighted material through the Pirate Bay network to share with others. Under that circumstance, the Pirate Bay could arguably be held liable as a contributory infringer.
A notoriously repressive country, North Korea limits entry and access to even the most prominent international officials. In a bizarre twist, former NBA star Dennis Rodman became the most high-profile American to have ever been granted access to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un (The two attended a basketball game together).
