Samsung Galaxy Nexus vs Apple iPhone 4S
0. phoneArena 02 Dec 2011, 10:35 posted on
Now that we've closely examined the Galaxy Nexus and the Galaxy S II side by side, and determined that Google's latest and greatest does indeed set new standards with its redesigned software platform and beautiful screen, it seems like the next logical step for us is to set the stage for a nice tactical fight between the new Nexus and the overly-polished iPhone 4S...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

"Figuratively speaking" of course XD

This is barely a competition
Galaxy Nexus FTW!!!!!!!

you are right but iphonearena would never agree.
107. medalaster01 (Posts: 42; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
writer indirectly concluded its iphone4s which is better.
117. NeXoS (Posts: 288; Member since: 03 May 2011)
iPhoneArena needs to SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT! The design of the iPhone is NOT Apple's original design! They copied the Garmin Nuvi 3790T's design, which won a design award!
20d7f00b294bd00b01cdcc541b&det ail=7398
Looks strangely similar doesn't it??!
ALSO...glass is no longer a "premium material" However, GORILLA GLASS is a premium material!
135. hobble (Posts: 130; Member since: 11 Oct 2011)
I thought they copied a samsung phone that was released just before the original iphone?
7. HTCiscool (Posts: 449; Member since: 16 Jul 2011)
I bet they used an iPhone 4 in the video, no one would have been able to tell the difference lol
why not do the GALAXY Nexus vs. the GALAXY Note?
94. Mkondrak (unregistered)
its a iphat 4s because it has sprint logo on the top part of the screen
110. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
you do know that since the 4s released they are selling an 8gb iphone4 at sprint now right?
41. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
alot has been added to the iphone 4s.....faults,more and more faulty additions appearing by the week judging by reports
128. milominderbinder (Posts: 6; Member since: 31 Aug 2011)
The iPhone 4S is still missing:
2. Any size other than Extra Small
3. Notification LED
4. microSD
5. Removable Battery
6. HD Video Chat (still VGA, WiFi)
8. Facebook Sync
9. Flash
11. Full Gmail (Priority Inbox, etc.)
12. DRM-Free Music like Google & Amazon
13. Widgets
14. Other App Markets like Amazon or GetJar
15. 15-Minute free trial on apps
16. Theming (unless Jailbroken)
17. Visual Voicemail with Contact Photos
18. True hands-free Voice Coomands
19. Turn-by-turn navigation
20. Live Wallpaper
21. Haptic feedback (vibrate on key-touch)
22. Swype
23. Real predictive keyboards like SwiftKey
24. Bluetooth Mouse/keyboard
25. Goggles, Voice, etc.
Phonearena, how little are your hands?
137. scottz (Posts: 14; Member since: 09 Jan 2012)
microSD and 15-minutes app trials are the only features on this I would want on an iphone. Some simply add costs for most(1,10) Many aren't real value adds(2,9,10,13,14,16,20) . While others simply aren't accurate (6,8,12,17,18). Again, only a couple of these items really add any value for a vast majority of people.
157. tedkord (Posts: 11712; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Sorry, but to claim the 4G only adds cost is just ridiculous. I would never go back to 3G since getting 4G. Downloads take seconds instead of minutes. Also, flash is a value add, having used phone browsers with and without it, I would choose to have it every time, at least until the whole web goes HTML5.
And, video chat is still only VGA and restricted to WiFi, so that one is true.
I do agree that many in the list are, at best, preferences. But, choice is what makes Android a better choice for many.
42. DaveyJE24 (Posts: 54; Member since: 02 Feb 2011)
dear iphonearena. You suck. But yet I continue to come back to read your reviews in hopes of one day your magical iPhone could be dethroned.
53. Paden (Posts: 262; Member since: 07 Jul 2011)
Are you guys blind?
iPhone = 8.5 out of 10
Nexus = 9.5 out of 10
55. rayjones09 (Posts: 149; Member since: 16 Dec 2010)
63. DaveyJE24 (Posts: 54; Member since: 02 Feb 2011)
thats just a number. Im talking about how almost everything is better on the iphone lol according to the iphonearena bums.
72. ghost__uwi (Posts: 175; Member since: 28 Nov 2011)
tell me about it. Phonearena rates iphone 8.5 cause of the lack of a real upgrade.
Nexus get 9.5 for a true leap in the OS and phone. Yet these guys keep bitching how biased phonearena is.
It's to give up and laugh at their permanent ranting.
73. wakingup (Posts: 51; Member since: 13 Aug 2011)
They should go look at the iphone's user reviews too...
109. solidsnakeduds013 (Posts: 218; Member since: 20 Oct 2010)
They must be
93. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
oh ya michael heller who self proclaimed likes android over ios.. wonder why u chose him?
118. NeXoS (Posts: 288; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Why? I've stopped reading phoneArena, there are much better places to read now, like:
I only stop by here once in a LOOONG while. Just like with Engadget, I've totally stopped reading that site.
125. rayjones09 (Posts: 149; Member since: 16 Dec 2010)
Well judging by the links you posted, you're an avid Android fan. There's nothing wrong with that, but please don't flame. Just because Android may seemingly lose once in awhile doesn't mean a site is bias. As a matter of fact, the ratings clearly show that PhoneArena views the Nexus S very highly, even better than the iPhone. I don't understand why you all are so upset. The Nexus wins in some respects and loses in others. Seriously, PhoneArena is a great website. I'm a Windows fan and I come here everyday; despite them rating all the second-gen Windows Phones a 7.5 (excluding the Focus S). While I disagreed with some scores, I wouldn't call them biased, and nor did I complain. Give it a rest you all, please. It's gotten really, really old...
138. scottz (Posts: 14; Member since: 09 Jan 2012)
Read what you want to read, please don't spam.
74. wakingup (Posts: 51; Member since: 13 Aug 2011)
I strongly believe that phonearena in this case is biased. ICS is finnally catching up to IOS??? Come one, its just you...remember, you can make an android look likt the IOS if you were really picky...but can you make a iphone run on ICS??? NO. In fact, I think the hicups faced by the nexus (i cant tell for certain because i dont have one yet) is that there were too many background applications. Most reviews on phonearena, I doubt they kill background tasks before "noticing a lag or a freeze or so forth."
119. NeXoS (Posts: 288; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Yea, it's ironic that Android is "catching up" to IOS when IOS 5's latest features clearly are based off of Android's features (voice actions, drop down notification shade, etc).
Seriously people, dump this place, it's easy. Just delete it from your bookmarks.
139. scottz (Posts: 14; Member since: 09 Jan 2012)
Siri is a significant shift on how to interact via voice with devices. If you can't see this it is simply because you haven't taken the time.
I found the review on this site to be fair and balanced even though they rated the Galaxy Nexus higher than the 4S and I am a 4S owner. I simply preferred the 4S, it was a tough decision. (size, cost, app store)
86. Retro-touch (Posts: 273; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Ray S is VERY descriptive in his comparisons of the Galaxy Nexus vs Iphone 4S. He negates every positive aspect of the GN with abit better or slightly and exaggerates the Iphone's strong points. Superior frame rate of 30 FPS he didn't even mention that in the SGS2 vs GN comparison but here he had to highlight it yet the SGS2 records at 30 FPS. What does he means the browser on the Iphone has more frames, explain what the hell you mean by such statements cause I sure don't see those frames???!!! This reviewer is a MASSIVE IDIOT when its a vs Iphone but professional in other reviews. Clearly he's biased
120. NeXoS (Posts: 288; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Well, you know he's a f@cking idiot when he claims that 30fps is "better than" 24fps.
Clearly, this tool has no idea what he's talking about.
Hollywood movies are filmed in 24p and blu-ray is 24p native. 24p is the frame rate that's "sought after" for its film like qualities, vs home movie like qualities.
140. scottz (Posts: 14; Member since: 09 Jan 2012)
Doesn't change the fact the iPhone took better videos.
111. oldarney (Posts: 4; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
Im also amazed that he forgot to mention that the 4S has ZERO lte, which makes it worse for MMO's, Heavy weabsites or HD video... oh thats right, the 4S isn't HD either!
Granted, the camera sort of sucks... Although its three times faster then the 4S.
133. zazori08 (Posts: 113; Member since: 21 Dec 2011)
damn iPhoneArena really meant it to go to the Apple side

I like it, makes sense. Thumbs up.
84. FAW-Q (Posts: 63; Member since: 29 Jul 2011)
Nothing pleases you Android fans. Phone arena is one of the only places on the net that doesn't post biased articles. Try going to gizmoto or engadget, and you'll notice the lack of android fans there due to the extensive iphone coverage. Ever wondered why there are so many android fans on "iphonearena"? But who really cares? phone arena is making AD cash off of you retarded ass people. Thumbs Down please! Thanks.
91. Paden (Posts: 262; Member since: 07 Jul 2011)
I also noticed how negative a lot of people are on the Phone Arena comment sections. Most other websites I go to have people commenting on the article and not using it as an argument point for their views. There is still some arguing, but not as much. A lot of people need to lighten up on here.
I love Phone Arena's coverage and writers. They have their stances, but try to remain as unbiased as possible.
126. rayjones09 (Posts: 149; Member since: 16 Dec 2010)
Yea...this comments section is ridiculous. An editor should get fired for commenters getting mad at him due to 'perceived' bias? Come on now. This is slightly worse than usual. And to be honest, a good 70% or so of this website is Android coverage. So when the relatively anomalous coverage of the iPhone comes, why get angry? It makes no sense.
96. ph00ny (Posts: 1238; Member since: 26 May 2011)
I don't have an issue with phonearena but every single piece written by Ray S has shown ton of biased opinions. If i can tell whether this piece was written by ray s or not by the first two paragraph, there is an issue
122. NeXoS (Posts: 288; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Thumbs up if you agree!
121. NeXoS (Posts: 288; Member since: 03 May 2011)
How did they forget to mention the LTE ability of the GN?
And even if they did, they would label it "just slightly" better than the iPhone 4S's 3G speed ROFL!!!!!!
141. scottz (Posts: 14; Member since: 09 Jan 2012)
I didn't want a phone with LTE. I didn't want the added cost of Verizon and I didn't want to pay the 4 tax with Sprint. I was thrilled the 4S came with 3G only as I can't regularly access a 4G network, nor can most of the world.
3. Kjayhawk (Posts: 293; Member since: 07 Oct 2010)
As an iPhone user I can defiantly say that the ICS blows iOS 5 out of the water. iOS5is a nice update but defiantly should have been implemented earlier. iOS is an awesome OS if you want a very basic experience and like games on your phone. I think android is far more superior for myself. The phone really does depend on the person. Thats why I'm selling my iPhone 4s and going back to android
8. jove39 (Posts: 1859; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
lol...I did same...month back.
I bought iPhone to experience iOS and all...phone is good...but boring and UN-DURABLE...its so called premium glass construction sucks compared to my Galaxy S's plastic body...don't believe me...drop both of them on floor...from 4' :)
10. HTCiscool (Posts: 449; Member since: 16 Jul 2011)
Smart man you are
15. Synack (Posts: 677; Member since: 05 Jul 2011)
Thank you for your opinion, I am running the 4S but have been with Android for awhile now. If the Nexus is really that much better then I'll be returning the iPhone for it.
5. splus (Posts: 47; Member since: 26 Nov 2011)
What a crappy comparison!
If you want to write a comparison then you should be *at least* somewhat objective. This article is very partial.
6. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
check any of the " vs iphone reveiws and you will find the same results. till the time apple cant come up with a bigger and better screen they iphonearena will keep saying that 3.5 inch is the perfect size. basically anything which apple cant do, is not good doesnt matter how good android is.
142. scottz (Posts: 14; Member since: 09 Jan 2012)
yet the first few minutes in I thought it was being partial to Android. All in all I thought it was pretty damn fair.
9. stevenberry54 (Posts: 6; Member since: 02 Dec 2011)
Slightly ironic that the thumbnails of the two devices comparing dimensions.. makes the iPhone look literally like an "ice cream sandwich" on top of... ICS... lol
54. Paden (Posts: 262; Member since: 07 Jul 2011)
Hahaha. I scrolled up to double take!
11. HTCiscool (Posts: 449; Member since: 16 Jul 2011)
I love the feeling you get when its time to upgrade your smartphone and you're so excited and spending hours researching them and playing with them thinking, I could own this. Sadly I probably won't experience that again until sometime next year.
I even had to fight myself back from trading in my Sensation + $100 for a new Razr.
Getting a new phone is so exciting! The anticipation of opening the box and removing the screen protector is unforgettable!
43. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
agreed,now imagine an apple fan doing the exact same and removing the box screen protector off their iphone 4s to find the exact same iphone they unboxed last year waiting for them,they must be so excited!
123. NeXoS (Posts: 288; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Zing! hahhaha nice one
12. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
didnt the galaxy nexus get a better review and score than the 4s so shouldnt that mean that its the better phone?
17. bbblader (Posts: 590; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
NO what iphonearena decides thats best! who am i kidding the Galaxy Nexus should have one it when the idea even became reality ijoke is the best thing if your iphonearena even if the android symbian windows and other OS's better
19. vette21man (Posts: 351; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Good point taz89.
I felt like this comparison was pretty good and unbiased as much as possible, but the end result was "no clear winner" and "you'll be happy with either of these great phones."
Then shouldn't both devices just get a 9 rating?
I didn't hear enough reason in this comparison to warrant the full 1 point score difference (Nexus to 4S, 9.5 to 8.5).
22. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
couldn`t agree more
31. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
dont see the point of head to heads if you not going to pick a winner..every other sites that do head to head say the same but at least they have the guts to pick a winner...seems like any phone that comes against the iphone it always ends with iphone as a winner or if the other phone is better then its you will be happy eith either.
124. NeXoS (Posts: 288; Member since: 03 May 2011)
if they say anything bad about any fruit logo'ed device, they'll lose their secret viral marketing funding from Apple!
23. ReturningToNokia (Posts: 130; Member since: 09 Jul 2011)
@taz89 - Not necessarily. Keep in mind that phone reviews aren't always conducted by the same reviewer, thus the review scores and opinions are going to be different. The Galaxy Nexus was reviewed by Ray S.; the IPhone4s was reviewed by John V.
25. vette21man (Posts: 351; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
True points ReturningToNokia.
However, each review conducted is always "on behalf of Phone Arena." So, a review on "this" phone conducted by "this" reviewer should be comparable to "that" phone conducted by "that" reviewer.
Before posting scores, there has to be some calibration or peer-review meeting where everyone agrees on the final score.
And if they DON'T, then they SHOULD.

The Stetson volleyball team will fly north for a pair of Atlantic Sun Conference road matches this weekend. The Hatters (4-20, 0-7 A-Sun) will visit Northern Kentucky (17-3, 5-2 A-Sun) on Friday at 6 p.m., followed by a 3 p.m. Saturday afternoon match against A-Sun co-leader Lipscomb (10-8, 7-0 A-Sun).
Coming off a 3-0 non-conference victory over Savannah State last Saturday, the Hatters are seeking their first A-Sun win of the year.
"We have got to get in the win column in conference play," Stetson head coach Tim Loesch said. "We have to start fighting for a playoff spot, and we have to win at least one if not both of these matches to put ourselves in a decent position. We saw some improvement last weekend, and hopefully we can continue to improve and catch some of the other conference opponents in the standings."
After this weekend's matches, Stetson will have played everyone in the conference once. The Hatters will then play all nine teams a second time at the opposite location from the first meeting. At the end of the regular season, the top six teams (excluding Northern Kentucky) will compete for the 2012 Atlantic Sun Conference Volleyball Championship, Nov. 15-17 in Nashville, Tenn.
On the Web
Live video for both matches will be available at ASun.TV.
Live stats for the Northern Kentucky match will be available at NKUNorse.com.
Live stats for the Lipscomb match will be available at LipscombSports.com.
Fans can also get in-game twitter updates of Stetson volleyball matches all season long by following @StetsonVB from your twitter account. Postgame recaps and statistics will be available on the Stetson Athletics website at GoHatters.com.
Stetson vs. the Opponents All-Time
Record vs. Northern Kentucky: 0-0 (First Meeting)
Record vs. Lipscomb: 3-10
Passionately Pink in October
In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness month, the Stetson University volleyball team has teamed with the Susan G. Komen Foundation to support its Passionately Pink For the Cure initiative throughout the month of October, culminating with the Hatters' Oct. 30 match against North Florida. Fans can make donations by visiting www.GoHatters.com and clicking the "Passionately Pink 2012" link on the volleyball home page.
Vote for Monique
Senior libero Monique Russell has been nominated for the monthly "Crons Achiever Award" in the Atlantic Sun Conference. Please visit the Atlantic Sun Insider blog and vote for Russell as the league's top achiever for the month of September.
Going the Distance
The Hatters are the only A-Sun school to play six five-set matches this season.
A-Sun Statistical Rankings
The Hatters 1.69 team blocks per set ranks fourth in the A-Sun. Ellen Hawks ranks second in the A-Sun in total blocks (83) and fourth in blocks/set (0.93). Monique Russell ranks fifth in digs per set (4.22).
Hawks Among All-Time Stetson Blocking Leaders
Junior Ellen Hawks has 247 career blocks, the most among all active players in the Atlantic Sun. She also holds the Stetson school record for career blocks during the rally-scoring era (since 2001).
Russell Among All-Time A-Sun Digs Leaders
Senior Monique Russell, Stetson's all-time digs leader, ranks 13th in conference history (since 2001) with 1315 career digs.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
The Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) lifted its temporary halt on use in Italy of Novartis' Agrippal® and Fluad® seasonal flu vaccines after the agency affirmed additional information from the pharma giant attesting to the safety and efficacy of the medicines.
AIFA halted the use of Agrippal and Fluad on Oct. 24 as a precaution, after Novartis reported higher than usual levels of protein aggregates observed in one batch of seasonal influenza vaccine not released for use. Novartis says the aggregates—formed by proteins essential to the vaccine—occur naturally in very small quantities, and typically dissolve when shaken.
Italy is the regulatory reference country for the vaccines within the 27-nation European Union, which is why AIFA took the lead for the EU to investigate the protein aggregates, and whether a permanent ban was warranted. The two Novartis vaccines are sold in Italy under the names Influpozzi sub unità and Influpozzi adiuvato.
Earlier this month, Canada and Switzerland lifted similar restrictions on the sale of Agrippal and Fluad, following tests by health agencies that concluded the vaccines were safe. Agrippal is sold as Agriflu in Canada, where the Public Health Agency advised doctors to shake their vaccine products and check them for white floating material before injecting them into patients.
Also banning the Novartis vaccines temporarily were Spain, France, Germany, and the U.K.
According to Novartis, more than 1 million doses of Agrippal and Fluad have been administered since the start of this year's flu season, with no unexpected adverse events reported to date. The two vaccines are not available in the U.S.
Switzerland, like Italy, has seen a shortage of flu vaccine after Netherlands-based Crucell, a vaccine subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, suspended a delivery of seasonal flu vaccine last month. On Oct. 17, Italy's health ministry announced that Crucell stopped a shipment of 2.36 million doses to Italy after two out of 32 lots failed to pass quality inspections. Italian authorities have said their nation uses between 10 million and 12 million flu vaccine doses annually.

MARTINSBURG - The Martinsburg-Berkeley County Convention and Visitor's Bureau believes that with all the heritage the county offers, 2013 will be a great year for tourism.
In Thursday's Berkeley County Council meeting, CVB Executive Director Andrea Ball unveiled the organization's theme for 2013: "Heritage is Hot."
"We think it will be a fun, youth-oriented campaign that will hopefully engage people who are not typically interested in heritage tourism in ways to get engaged, showcase our events and showcase our area," Ball said.
Berkeley County's CVB theme aligns with the state's marketing initiatives for the upcoming year announced at the 2012 West Virginia Governor's Conference on tourism Monday, which include small town charm, arts and crafts, military history and food related events.
Upcoming events the CVB will either host or participate in include the Mountain Heritage Apple Harvest Festival, next year's Thunder Over the Blue Ridge Air Show and the organization's most popular event, Pickin' in the Panhandle.
After the success of the 2012 Pickin' in the Panhandle, approval has already been given for a 2013 event.
"We had about $5 million in tourism impact in the county through our local businesses, throughout our hotel/motel taxes, however it may be. We were very pleased," Ball said.
Although at approximately 8,000 guests, attendance for the event was slightly lower than last year, Ball reported that more than 20 states were represented at the festival as well as the Netherlands, England, the Cayman Islands, Canada and Spain.
In addition to traditional events, for 2013 the CVB will pursue new opportunities and community partners to promote tourism and county events and organizations.
Already cultivating new relationships, Ball gave the example of recently meeting with Cole McCullough, owner of the National Peacemaker Training Center, to potentially help sponsor some of the range's events and tournaments as an avenue to attract people to the area.
At the West Virginia Governor's Conference on tourism, the CVB learned it was awarded a grant to be reimbursed approximately $90,000, or 40 percent of the nearly $225,000 the CVB will spend in the upcoming year for tourism.

Enroll Now!
"The course was outstanding!! The approach and method of teaching was completely appropriate ...The instructor's pleasing personality was very evident in each lesson... In addition, her pride in being a guide to her native language and customs embellished the lessons with an exceptionally pleasant atmosphere and authenticity... I look forward to enrolling in her future courses."
"I absolutely loved this instructor. She was the best I've had in a very long time. She obviously went above and beyond when preparing this course. She had a great way of incorporating stories into the lesson to keep it fun and interesting. This instructor fascinated me with the subject matter and I am eager to learn more. I will continue my studies on my own but hope she will offer an advanced course in the future! She is an asset to your school!"
"Ririko has done an outstanding job of putting this course together. It offered a real life experience of learning the Japanese language and visiting Japan. I was first concerned this wouldn't be face-to-face learning, but after going through the course, I felt it exceeded my expectations beyond what I could have imagined."
"I really enjoyed this course and the way the lessons were designed. I thought the instructor was very helpful and I found her approach made the material easy to learn. I would be interested in taking another course like this from this instructor."
"This course was so much fun! I hope to travel to Japan in a few years. What I have learned makes me feel confident in interacting with Japanese people and understanding their culture. Thank you!"
"Ririko-sensei was a excellent teacher:). I learned very very much in what I believe to be in a very short time. The way in which Ririko-sensei spoke Japanese to teach how to pronounce the words and letters was very clear and understandable, and I would highly recommend her to other who are looking for online Japanese classes. The extra information given really helped in me getting a better understanding of Japanese language and culture."
"Excellent course! It was an optimal mix of useful language, basic sentence structure, understanding of Japanese culture, people, and country. The course made me want to return to Japan as soon as possible. The instructor's style was very amicable, rendering learning enjoyable, and making me regret not having met her. I wish there was a follow-on course. Wonderful -- and thank you."
"This course was more than I had hoped. I entered the course desiring to learn a few words and phrases of Japanese and came away wanting to really learn the language and actually visit Japan! The "Quick Reviews" were extremely useful to me. I don't know if more could be added, but that would be great. Also, it would be nice and helpful to "hear", as well as see written, the proper answers when the student is asked to translate sentences from English to Japanese. Overall, this was a very enjoyable course and I am very glad I took it. The instructor, Ririko Hayashi, was very accessible and knowledgeable. Arigatou gozaimasu, Ririko-sama."
"The instructor was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and I enjoyed this class immensely. In order to continue in our Japanese studies, please have a part 2 of Japanese available for instruction. Thank you!"
"This course was an excellent resource for anyone wishing to visit Japan. I would love to see a series of follow on courses to further develop reading, writing, and listening skills."

Coyotes sign Kennedy to contract
July 11, 2013
The Phoenix Coyotes, NHL affiliate of the AHL's Portland Pirates, have signed center Tim Kennedy to a one-year, two-way contract.
In 2012-13, the 5-foot-11, 180-pound Kennedy recorded 13 goals and 24 assists for 37 points in 37 games with the AHL's Worcester Sharks, along with two goals in 13 NHL games with San Jose.
Over five pro seasons, Kennedy has appeared in 230 AHL games, notching 56 goals and 137 assists for 193 points. With Portland in 2008-09, Kennedy led all AHL rookies in scoring with 67 points and earned a spot on the league's All-Rookie Team.
The Buffalo, N.Y., native has recorded 13 goals and 18 assists for 31 points in 125 NHL games with San Jose, Florida and Buffalo.
Kennedy was originally drafted by the Washington Capitals in the sixth round of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.

Penn State posted a big win Saturday, and so did the bookies who made the Nittany Lions 24-point underdogs at Wisconsin.
Wait. What?
The bookies were way, way off with that point spread, as PSU upset the No. 14 Badgers, 31-24.
On the surface, it might seem that the Vegas oddsmakers totally whiffed on the point spread, which Bill O'Brien called "ridiculous." But that ridiculous line wound up making the bookies a bunch of money because, despite what O'Brien and the Penn State players felt, most bettors actually put their money on the Badgers.
"You would think that that game was so out of whack," said Tony Sinisi, an Altoona native and longtime oddsmaker with more than 23 years' experience, "but actually it was a good game from the booking side because all the money came in on Wisconsin."
And all of those bets lost, meaning tons of money went to the bookies.
"I wouldn't say a killing, but it was absolutely a good game for the books," said Sinisi, who now works as an independent oddsmaker.
The 24-point spread that upset the Lions didn't seem at all ridiculous to gamblers, proven by the fact that the final line at kickoff had moved up to 25 1/2 points in some sportsbooks, Sinisi said. That's what happens when the majority of money is bet on one team.
So basically just about everyone was wrong.
"We felt disrespected," Penn State linebacker Glenn Carson said of the enormous point spread, the largest the Lions have ever faced as an underdog.
Those who follow football point spreads often are amazed at how, regardless of what happens in the games, the final score more often than not gravitates back near the original line. A team that's favored by 10 1/2 might be up by 24 in the closing minutes, but sure enough, late TDs, turnovers, onside kicks and other elements turn what looks like a surefire winner into heartbreak for gamblers.
Sinisi pointed out that "the line is not predictive, it's set to balance the action" from a pure money standpoint. Still, it's remarkable that far more often than not the point spread turns out to be very close to the final score.
This past football weekend was a big exception.
Not only did the oddsmakers whiff on the Penn State point spread, but:
n LSU was favored by 24 over Arkansas, and the Razorbacks were in position for the upset all day until falling in the closing minute, 31-27.
n Central Florida was favored by 26 over South Florida and nearly lost before rallying for a 23-20 win.
n Ohio State was favored by 16 1/2 but barely held on, 42-41, as Michigan failed on a two-point conversion in the final minute.
n Alabama was favored by 10 1/2 over Auburn but lost the game, 34-28, and its national title hopes.
Man, those oddsmakers sure were terrible on those games.
"This weekend there was more of those [big misses] than I can remember this year," Sinisi said.
But it didn't matter. Because the bookies almost always win big when underdogs cover, simply because most people bet on favorites, feeling more comfortable going with a good team than putting their money on a perceived bad one as an underdog.
As O'Brien pointed out Saturday, Penn State matched up very well against Wisconsin, something the bookies didn't expect because the Lions had been winless on the road and had been crushed at Ohio State (63-14) and at Indiana (44-24).
"I certainly didn't see that coming," Sinisi said of the Lions' upset. "Penn State had not played well on the road. Wisconsin's strength went against Penn State's weakness; they run the ball well. You'd think Penn State had shot its shot at home against Nebraska, and it had the look of a bloodletting. So a lot of credit to Penn State and Bill O'Brien."
One area O'Brien seems to excel at is finding ways to motivate his players, be it with an ill-advised comment by Purdue coach Darrell Hazell or a ridiculous betting line. The coach used the 24-point spread to fire up his players, then he expressed anger after the game about how the number got that big in the first place.
But as Sinisi mentioned, using point spreads as bulletin-board material might happen all the time, but a coach may only point it out after the fact when things go his team's way.
"When they were 17 [point underdogs] at Ohio State and they lost by what, 50 or whatever [actually 49], did he criticize the line that night?" Sinisi said of O'Brien. "These guys absolutely pick their spots."
Since he has central Pennsylvania ties, Sinisi knows his stuff about the PSU program and all the great things O'Brien has done for it. Then again, people like him have to know their stuff about every program if they're going to stick around in the oddsmaking business.
Either way, Sinisi has a lot of respect for O'Brien and made it clear that all point spreads are about business, made by people whose only concern is making money.
"I like [O'Brien] a lot," Sinisi said. "I think he's done a great job there. I think he's been a great coach, and strategically-wise and media-wise I think he has said all the right things over the last couple of years."
That includes making sure his team knew how big of an underdog it was Saturday.

Get Into Aqua Aerobics
Aqua Aerobics classes offer you something different to a traditional gym workout and you'll really see a difference in your overall health and fitness.
Typical Aqua Aerobics classes will involve all the exercises you would expect in a 'dry' class but with added bonuses you can only get from exercising in water.
Benefits of aerobics in water
- Water supports the body, putting less stress on your joints and muscles
- This support is great if you're older, have suffered an injury or are recovering from illness
- Water pressure helps the heart move blood around the body, putting less strain on it
- The impact of gravity is less in the water allowing a greater range of motion
- Working out in water can also prevent overheating, helping you exercise for longer.
- And... it's fun! It is not often you can say that about a workout.
What can I expect?
A great all-over workout. Aqua dumbbells, kickboards and hydro discs are some of the equipment you might use. Let World Champion backstroker Liam Tancock give you an introduction to the kit you'll need in the video left.
You don't need to buy equipment if you don't want to. Everything you need will be provided by your pool for use the lesson.
How do I get involved?
Use our Pool Finder to locate your nearest pool and ask them about aqua jogging and aqua fitness. Have fun!

Chris Stevens is a software developer on the Windows kernel team working on the Windows boot environment. Windows 8 boots faster than any other version of Windows. Why? How?
Chris begins with the fundamentals (so, if you don't know anything about the boot process or what actually happens when an OS like Windows starts up, then you will after watching this...) and then digs into how the boot experience/environment/process was has evolved in Windows 8.
Tune in!
Oops, something didn't work.
So close to the metal...
Excellent episode!
Thanks Charles & Chris

5 Things Nobody Says About College (Until It's Too Late)
So you just wrapped up 14 years of learning the absolute basics, much of which you'll never use again for the rest of your life. If you prefer physical labor or low-end jobs, or you have rich parents, congratulations! Your formal education is finally over. For the other 66 percent of high school graduates, don't get comfortable; you're just getting started. And trust me, as much as your college planner has vomited information onto you, there are a whole lot of dry heaves waiting for you to discover on your own once you're locked into the system. For instance, most of us who have already been through it found out the hard way that ...
#5. The First Two Years of College Are a Repeat of High School
Jack Hollingsworth/Photodisc/Getty Images
One of the most surprising things I found in my first year of college was that it's all refresher courses. I don't mean those borderline classes that could be either high school or college classes (like trigonometry or erotic male dancing); I'm talking about having the same exact chemistry and biology classes that you already took, sometimes right down to using the same textbook. I'm talking about math classes that teach you how to work fractions. Part of my first college-level composition class was learning how to use a fucking library.
Imagine my surprise when I entered my second year and discovered the same thing. Now, you can test out of some of these classes -- for a fee, of course. God forbid you so much as fart without them collecting money for it -- I'm surprised they haven't resorted to putting credit card swipers on the bathroom doors. But many of these courses are required as a part of your "core curriculum," so you're stuck with them, even if you've mastered the subject.
Jetta Productions/Photodisc/Getty Images
"No, you're teaching it all wrong. Here, just let me do it."
For older students, that can be a good thing. Since you haven't used a lot of the worthless bullshit you learned in high school, you're probably going to need some heavy reminders on naming all the parts of a cell or how to find the exact center of a circle using only your nipple rings and a small amount of goat blood.
For everyone else, it's just money-leeching horseshit. And before you get hung up on the idea of using transferable credits that you earned in high school, know that they generally only apply to specific colleges. Even then, that school can turn them down. Or they can apply those credits, but just in general -- not toward those exact classes. Or the ones that do may not count toward your GPA. Or they'll accept them in full, but you have to blow a horse to prove your loyalty. It's a clusterfuck system that changes with every school, and you'll never know the fine print until some office douchebag is reading it to you during your denial speech.
Creatas Images/Creatas/Getty Images
Here we go, I'll just file that under "Go Fuck Yourself."
No matter what, though, those first two years will be like watching a late-night marathon of Friends reruns while waiting for the new episode of South Park to come on. Of course, when you finally get past those, you can take comfort in the fact that it's all new ground from here on out ... classes that finally relate to the degree you're shooting for. Well, not exactly ...
#4. You'll Be Forced to Take Classes That Have Nothing to Do With Anything
Thinkstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
If you've never heard the term, get familiar with the word "electives." Those courses will be both your dream classes and your ever-taunting nightmares. Electives are classes that are not a part of the core set required for your degree. However, you will be required to take a certain number of these, just in general. It sounds weird, and it is, so let me explain.
Say you want to be a math teacher. Your class planner will show you that you need certain science classes, certain math classes, etc. And sometime between now and when you graduate, you also have to mix in so many hours' worth of elective classes of your choice. In that context, no specific elective is required ... but the class type is.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
"Yep. I can feel my psychology skills sharpening by the second."
So now, while you're worrying yourself into vomiting bile over passing these extremely important classes that dictate your future career, you're also forced to take bullshit like 1970s Music Appreciation or Buttons to Zippers: A History of Fastening Devices. And yes, they have final exams, just like the rest of your schedule. That's part of the nightmare: staying up the week before finals, listening to Billy Joel's "Piano Man" on a loop to make sure this stupid jackoff course doesn't buttfuck your GPA, and knowing that you could be using that time to make sure you're solid on the classes that actually matter.
The upside is that there usually aren't many people in attendance, so it's less stressful for a person like me who continuously screams if he's in a room with more than five other humans. And the subject matter is usually pretty light and easy to retain, so it's a break from the normal grind. Unless that class is Advanced Grinding for Stress Lovers.
David De Lossy/Photodisc/Getty Images
On the bright side, she won't need a bikini wax for a while.
Even outside of electives, many of your required classes won't have anything to do with your actual career. You'll have to take multiple writing and psychology courses, even if you're shooting for a degree in mathematics or coaching dodgeball. What does biology have to do with your aspirations to teach European literature? Absofuckinglutely nothing, besides the fact that ... well, you just have to, because we said so. Please give us money now.
But don't think of your normal classes as more important than the electives, because ...
#3. Failing Will Cost You Severely
Jupiterimages/Pixland/Getty Images
You know how when you fail a class in high school you can just retake it in the summer or the following year? It's not that simple anymore. When you fail a class in college, you are forced to get naked and ride a horse with a sandpaper saddle. Well, metaphorically. Unless you're taking the Torture With Horses elective.
But trust me, it will feel that way, financially. If you get a poor grade in certain classes, it can directly affect how much financial aid you receive the following year (or if you receive it at all). If it's enough to drop your GPA below a certain standard -- I think most of the time it's 2.0 -- you will be put on academic probation and not receive any aid or loans until you bring that up. Oh, and you have one semester to do that. And it gets worse from there.
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
"Now you sit there and think about what you've done. I'll be back with the gimp."
You paid $120 for your biology textbook. You've rescheduled that class for a second try next semester, so you keep the book, rather than reselling it for cash in the bookstore. When the semester starts, you find out that it's been updated with a new edition, effectively turning yours into a lifeless block of dead tree shavings. The new one is $130 ... on top of you having to pay the fees and tuition for the class itself. Again. In the bigger picture, you're redoing a handful of credit hours, setting you one major class behind schedule. Now you have to either add another class to get back to where you were or extend your graduation goal because of it. Or burn that whole motherfucker clear to the ground.
You're now on academic probation, so you have to pay for the next semester out of your own pocket. If you flunk a few classes this time, you'll be put on suspension and not be allowed to attend again for a full year. If you're in junior college preparing to transfer to a four-year university, you might as well hit the reset button and try again from scratch, because until you pull your head out of your ass and redo this clusterfuck, you're not going anywhere.
Erik Snyder/Digital Vision/Getty Images
"Unless you've passed sociology, you'd better get your face out of that wall, mister!"
If that's the case, you might as well say goodbye to your new friends because -- wait, actually, that reminds me ...

Over the three-month period, the company found more than 14,900 new malicious programs targeting the platform. Nearly half of the malicious files were classified as multi-functional Trojans that were programmed to steal data from smartphones and could also download and install programs from remote servers.

...And how is that any different than on a CPU? "
quote: most desktop applications will never be able to use dozens of cores at once. So long-term, single-threaded performance sitll needs to improve
quote: Advances in languages, compilers, and tools open the possibility of significantly improving software. For example, Singularity uses type-safe languages and an abstract instruction set to enable what we call Software Isolated Processes (SIPs). SIPs provide the strong isolation guarantees of OS processes (isolated object space, separate GCs, separate runtimes) without the overhead of hardware-enforced protection domains. In the current Singularity prototype SIPs are extremely cheap; they run in ring 0 in the kernel's address space.
quote: Singularity achieves good performance by reinventing the environment in which code executes. In existing systems, safe code is an exotic newcomer who lives in a huge, luxurious home in an elegant, gated community with its own collection of services. Singularity, in contrast, has architected a single world in which everyone can be safe, with performance comparable to the unsafe world of existing systems.
quote: A key starting point is Singularity processes, which start empty and add features only as required. Modern language runtimes come with huge libraries and expressive, dynamic language features such as reflection. This richness comes at a price. Features such as code access security or reflection incur massive overhead, even when never used.
quote: A Singularity application specifies which libraries it needs, and the Bartok compiler brings together the code and eliminates unneeded functionality through a process called "tree shaking," which deletes unused classes, methods, and even fields. As a result, a simple C# "Hello World" process in Singularity requires less memory than the equivalent C/C++ program running on most UNIX or Windows® systems. Moreover, Bartok translates from Microsoft® intermediate language (MSIL) into highly optimized x86 code. It performs interprocedural optimization to eliminate redundant run-time safety tests, reducing the cost of language safety.
quote: Aggressive interprocedural optimization is possible because Singularity processes are closed—they do not permit code loading after the process starts executing. This is a dramatic change, since dynamic code loading is a popular, but problematic, mechanism for loading plug-ins. Giving plug-ins access to a program's internals presents serious security and reliability problems [snip]... Dynamic loading frustrates program analysis in compilers or defect-detection tools, which can't see all code that might execute. To be safe, the analysis must be conservative, which precludes many optimizations and dulls the accuracy of defect detection.
quote: As for Mitosis, remember that its still very far down the horizon, as it requires hardware support that isn't in existence yet
quote: Furthermore, the amount of parallelism that can be extracted via Mitosis is rather limited. Diminishing returns sets in hard on anything over four cores
quote: From the same way one knows about the performance of any processor before it's built-- software simulation
quote: at 8 cores, the results are less impressive---about a 3.5X speedup

Croatia holiday "good value for money"
A holiday to Croatia may be the best thing to do as the credit crunch hits wallets, as the country offers "good value for money", a spokesperson for Charisma PR has said.
The agency, which works on behalf of the Croatia Tourism Board, believes that the former Yugoslav nation "is very reasonable because it is outside the eurozone, so it"s still good value for money because the pound is not particularly strong against the euro at the moment".
In addition, the spokesperson said, visitors will enjoy Croatia because "the countryside is very beautiful and the beaches and the water are very clean".
According to official statistics, there were nearly 600,000 tourists in Croatia between January and March 2008 – up 14 per cent compared to the same period in 2007.
The number of foreign tourists increased by 30 per cent to 285,688 in the first quarter of 2008 and there were a little more than 7,000 tourists from the UK.

TSN is reporting, via the Chicago Tribune, that Patrick Kane will miss weeks with a 'significant injury'.
It appears the Chicago Blackhawks will have to make do without Patrick Kane for weeks, not days.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Kane suffered a significant injury in Sunday's win over the Calgary Flames and has joined Marian Hossa, Brian Campbell and Dave Bolland on the injury list.
"We've found a way to play without some of our top players," Jonathan Toews told the Tribune on Monday. "Guys like Campbell and Hossa and I guess now we don't have a choice, we'll have to do it without Kane. It's about everyone else stepping up.
Kane appeared to jam his skate into the boards and had to be helped off the ice. The Blackhawks had Monday off so no official update was provided by the team.
"It's tough to see Kane go down," Duncan Keith told the newspaper. "He's a big part of the team, we know that. Those sorts of things happen over and over on different teams, where a top player gets injured and you have to deal with it."
Until this injury, Kane has only missed three games due to injury.

Jeremiah Davis Already Making an Impact
Basketball fans in Muncie have seen a familiar face is street clothes on the Ball State bench over the second half of this season.
Former Muncie Central Bearcat Jeremiah Davis III is home again. And it's not basketball that brought him back to Muncie, but his family.
When the Davis' house was lost to a fire in November, Jeremiah left his spot on the Cincinnati basketball team and withdrew from the school to come back to Muncie.
He was inititally uncertain of his basketball future, but he decided to join the Ball State program after meeting with head coach James Whitford.
As a transfer, he has not been able to play this semester. But he has enhanced the Ball State practices as he waits for his time on the court next year.
Joel Godett takes a closer look at Davis' journey and what his high level of basketball experience offers the Cardinals.

Arnold Palmer Invitational News
Tiger Woods to Defend Title at 2013 Arnold Palmer Invitational
Tiger Woods has captured the Arnold Palmer Invitational title a record seven times, including at last year's event, and now the 14-time major championship winner has announced that he'll be returning to Orlando, Fla., to defend his crown. The action at the 2013 Arnold Palmer Invitational is set to take place from March 18-24 at Bay Hill Club & Lodge, and once again, it will feature the top players on the PGA Tour's Official Money List. So far, some of the players who have also announced their participation in this year's event include Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, and Lee Westwood.
If there is any course that Woods feels comfortable at, it's Bay Hill, as back in 2012, Woods secured a five-stroke victory over Graeme McDowell by shooting a 2-under-par on the Championship Course. The win snapped a three-year PGA Tour drought, and if he can win again this year, it won't be the first time that he's won the event in consecutive years. Woods dominated the tournament with victories from 2000-03, as well as back-to-back wins in '08 and '09. A victory this year for Woods also would tie Sam Snead's record of eight PGA Tour wins at a single course (Sedgefield in Greensboro, N.C.). Arnold Palmer Invitational tickets are on sale for the full week and individual days, so purchase yours now and see if Woods can make history at Bay Hill.

I highly recommend the WinDriver USB/PCI Driver Development Toolkit. Instead of driver development time taking months, the toolkit allowed us to complete our USB driver in weeks. Another plus was WinDriver doing all the "under the hood" Kernel Mode driver implementation and us implementing a User Mode interface to WinDriver.

For Pennsylvania's congressional delegation, it's over the cliff, back up again - and now, on to the ceiling.
A day after Congress turned back from the "fiscal cliff" that would have led to higher taxes for most Americans, local Republicans - some of whom seem to have supported the last-minute deal only begrudgingly - said Wednesday that they're preparing for an even higher-stakes debt battle in the coming weeks.
And the next fight, state Republicans threatened, could end with the U.S. government closed for business.
"We're going to have that fight on spending. And it's going to occur sometime in February," Rep. Bill Shuster, R-9th District, said.
Tuesday's deal, passed by the Senate two hours after the New Year began and by the House of Representatives later that day, raised taxes on individuals making more than $400,000 a year but cemented earlier income tax rates for everyone else.
Although some conservatives in Congress derided the bill for raising taxes on the wealthy while failing to cut spending, central Pennsylvania representatives found a silver lining.
"I think it was a good bill overall," Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-5th District, said of the later-than-last-minute deal. "Any time you can prevent taxes going up for 99 percent of Americans, that is a good bill and a good night."
Press releases from the Pennsylvania Republican Party echoed that sentiment, highlighting the bill's indefinite tax-cut extension for the middle class rather than its tax increase for wealthier Americans.
Thompson and Shuster praised the bill for solidifying 10-year-old tax cuts, while acknowledging that their ultimate goal - slashing government spending - has yet to be attained.
"Last night was not the place to have that fight," Shuster said.
The state's entire congressional delegation, Democrat and Republican, voted for the agreement.
Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., whom Shuster praised as a "chief negotiator" of the deal, blamed a hostile president, a Democrat-led Senate and an array of time-sensitive laws for his party's inability to include spending cuts.
"We end up with our backs against the wall on Dec. 31 at midnight. ... We didn't have the power to stop all of the tax increases. Against all that, I wasn't going to be able to get my way," Toomey said.
Instead, Republicans intend to get their way in two months, when negotiations over raising the country's debt ceiling could turn into a repeat of the 2011 battle that nearly shut down the federal government.
President Barack Obama said Tuesday that he won't tolerate Republicans' refusal to raise the ceiling, the government-imposed upper limit for the national debt. The country reportedly reached the limit over the New Year's holiday.
"I will not have another debate with this Congress over whether or not they should pay the bills that they've already racked up through the laws that they passed," Obama said in televised remarks.
Pennsylvania Republicans disregarded Obama's statements, instead repeating demands to force spending cuts under the threat of a government shutdown.
It could be a bitter, high-stakes fight, they said Wednesday.
"I look forward to those fights. That's not something that upsets me. I think it's exciting," Thompson said.
But Sen. Bob Casey, a Democrat and one of the bill's 89 Senate supporters, said he saw the agreement as a rare example of legislative cooperation - one that he hoped would continue with the coming debt talks.
"I hope folks would consider the ramifications for a shutdown," Casey said. "Unfortunately ... we're going to have these difficult battles."
Some suggested the past week's chaos could be the norm for the new Congress: frequent, repetitive battles as bills delay the inevitable a few months at a time.
Asked Wednesday why the fiscal cliff deal came so late, even after weeks of near-constant negotiations, Shuster laughed.
"It's democracy," he said.
