Android to iPhone Day 0: What to Expect
Subject: Mobile | September 24, 2015 - 10:17 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: iphone 6s, iphone, ios, google, apple, Android
PC Perspective's Android to iPhone series explores the opinions, views and experiences of the site's Editor in Chief, Ryan Shrout, as he moves from the Android smartphone ecosystem to the world of the iPhone and iOS. Having been entrenched in the Android smartphone market for 7+ years, the editorial series is less of a review of the new iPhone 6s as it is an exploration on how the current smartphone market compares to what each sides' expectations are.
Full Story Listing:
- Day 0: What to Expect
- Day 3: Widgets and Live Photos
- Day 6: Battery Life and Home Screens
- Day 17: SoC Performance
- Day 31: Battery Life and Closing
The last time I used an Apple phone as my primary device was with the release of the iPhone 3G. It remained by my side for a full year when it was replaced by the…Palm Pre in mid-2009. Yes, I loved that Pre, but let's not depress anyone here today. After my time with the Palm device I moved over to the world of Android with the HTC Evo 4G in early 2010. The move wasn't easy at the time – Android was messy, frequently unstable and the app ecosystem was still getting started.
But I stuck with the Google platform, diving headfirst into a world of Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Photos, etc. I moved through countless Android phones in my never ending quest to find better hardware and, maybe more importantly, better software. I had the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 5 – I had phones from Samsung, LG and Motorola. Even oddball companies like OnePlus found their way into my pocket, so to speak. Most recently the everyday device has been the Motorola Droid Turbo, purchased due to its faster processor and extended battery life.
In the past year or so PC Perspective has put emphasis on the mobile market in terms of phones and tablet reviews. You can find reviews of the ASUS Zenfone 2, Motorola Moto E, and Galaxy Note 4 on pcper.com, in addition to numerous articles that look at the SoC architectures from Qualcomm, ARM, Intel and others. And for every phone review you actually saw, there are 1-2 other phones that are purchased or sampled, used for context and internal testing.
But despite the fact that Ken, Allyn and others on the PC Perspective staff have and use Apple products, I personally had spent no time with any iPhone since the release of the iPhone 3G. With Apple by far the most dominant player in the mobile space, this is just dumb on my part. How can I pretend to offer informed opinions on the selection of smartphones to our readers and viewers without even giving the annually updated Apple iPhone a chance?
To fix this, I ordered myself an iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.
Rather than just get the phone in, run some benchmarks, take some sample photos and write a typical review of the new iPhone 6s, I thought it might be interesting to our readers to take them along on a journey. Starting tomorrow when the iPhone 6s arrives I will be swap out my Verizon SIM card and commit to using it as my only mobile phone for the next 30 days. I think it's only fair, considering the drastic ecosystem differences between Android and iOS, to engulf myself in the iPhone platform completely rather than simply keep it with me as a secondary device. (That's something I typically do with Android review units.)
My new smartphone. I'm not sure I'm ready.
As an Android user for many years, I am familiar with many of the stereotypes associated with the iPhone and its users: closed platform, overpriced hardware, complications with access to data and photos, etc. But is it really that bad? Too many of my friends and family use iPhones for me to believe it's THAT bad. So I'm going to find out.
I'm honestly nervous about a handful of things already:
- How much am I going to miss having Quick Charge capability?
- How many Lightning cables am I going to have to buy to replace the locations I have micro USB cables at?
- How can I easily access the full resolution photos I take on the phone?
- Am I REALLY going to have to use iTunes again?
- Will I be able to recreate the workflow I am used to on Android? Apps like Gmail, Calendar, Keep and doubleTwist are essential!
- Will this new "Move to iOS" applications on the Play Store actually work?
I plan to write frequent entries to this series, offering up my thoughts on the performance, application ecosystem, camera, battery life, gaming capability, accessory market and more. You'll see some posts that simply discuss my experiences that day and others that show performance data or battery metrics. What is it like to suddenly decide to "change sides" at this point in the Android / iOS war?
Let's find out.
Rumor: Google To Host Press Briefing on September 29th
Subject: Mobile, Shows and Expos | September 22, 2015 - 08:37 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Nexus, google, Android
Well, the event is apparently official. It's the contents that are rumored...
It's been a little while since Google announced new Android phones, almost a year in fact. Two phones have been rumored this year, which are allegedly named the Nexus 5X and the Nexus 6P. I am not sure how much of the leaks are pure speculation, versus grounded in actual fact, so I will leave it as an exercise to you to read a couple of links that summarize them. A grain of salt will be necessary of course. It's not that we are afraid to look at rumors, as we do so frequently, but I'd rather not play arbitrator this time. I don't think that I can research this topic enough to arrive at a sufficient level of confidence at the moment.
What I can say is that Google will host an event on September 29th, 2015, to announce whatever they have. The invitations have gone out to sites like CNet and it will present devices that use Android 6.0 M, which Google announced stands for "Marshmallow" last August. An updated Chromecast is also expected to be launched at the same event.

The good news from Google is that as of next month, Flash ads will be 'Click to Play' when you are browsing in Chrome. This will be nice for the moving ads but even better for defeating those sick minded advertisers who think audio ads are acceptable. However this will hurt websites which depend on ad revenue ... as in all of the ones that are not behind a paywall which have Flash based ads. The move will make your web browsing somewhat safer as this will prevent the drive-by infections which Flash spreads like a plague infested flea and as long as advertisers switch to HTML 5 their ads will play and revenue will continue to come in.
The news of Chrome's refusal to play Flash ads is tempered somewhat by Google's decision to put advertising ahead of security for Apple devices. The new iOS 9 uses HTTPS for all connectivity, providing security and making it more difficult for websites to gather personalized data but as anyone who uses HTTPS Everywhere already knows, not all advertisements are compliant and are often completely blocked from displaying. To ensure that advertisers can display on your iOS9 device Google has provided a tool to get around Apple's App Transport Security thus rendering the protection HTTPS offers inoperative. Again, while sites do depend on advertisements to exist, sacrificing security to display those ads is hard to justify.
"The web giant has set September 1, 2015 as the date from which non-important Flash files will be click-to-play in the browser by default – effectively freezing out "many" Flash ads in the process."

So it would seem that the patch which Google rolled out and carriers have been pushing OTA is not going to be the last that we hear of Stagefright as the patch is not all that effective. Stagefright is a vulnerability present on all 950 million devices running Android 2.2 to 5.1 and allows certain MMS to be able to execute code on your mobile device. The recently released patch does not completely ameliorate this vulnerability, an MMS can still cause the library to crash, most likely just preventing you from using the application but possibly allowing other attacks to occur.
Also of note is the monthly Android patches that Google is providing to various phone manufacturers who are supposed to be pushing them out. As many Android users will have noticed, up to and including the staff at The Register, you may not have seen the flawed patch yet, let alone the update for the patch.
"Google's security update to fix the Stagefright vulnerability in millions of Android smartphones is buggy – and a new patch is needed.

The Stagefright media player vulnerability on Android powered Nexus devices which allowed the possibility of running remotely execute code via an MMS containing a specially crafted media file. It made headlines everywhere even though it is incredibly unlikely the bug was ever used in an attack. Regardless, you no longer need to worry as Google has crafted a patch and has released it to the carriers. You should keep an eye out this week and next for the update and if you do not see it apply you should reach out to your carrier. More at The Inquirer.

As has happened recently with Dropbox, Box and Apple iCloud, Google Drive has adopted the Microsoft Office API which was released not to long ago, bringing Office Suite compatibility to their cloud. As anyone who has actually tried it knows, the compatibility between Google's applications and Microsoft's Office Suite was more theory than fact. This new plug-in will allow you to save Office files on your Google Drive and open and edit them from within your browser, as long as you are not using the Office 2016 preview which is not compatible. If this interests you then follow the links from The Inquirer to learn more.

Juicy Friday rumour; a mysterious Blackberry device running Android?
Subject: General Tech | June 12, 2015 - 12:39 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Android, blackberry, google, rumour
Could this Reuters' story that Slashdot linked to possibly be correct? A phone with a physical keyboard using Blackberry hardware with an Android OS? The fact that you have been able to set up the Google Play store on BB10 devices for a while now is well known and lends credence to the rumour but it would represent a huge change for the long suffering smartphone company. Blackberry opened up BBM to all phones, which did not generate much interest and the company has also announced that it will make some of its proprietary security feature available to iOS, Android and Windows phones which makes their devices a little less unique. A slider style phone with a keyboard that is natively Android is interesting but just how likely is this to restore Blackberry as a player in this highly competitive market?
"BlackBerry is considering equipping an upcoming smartphone with Google Inc.'s Android software for the first time, an acknowledgement that its revamped line of devices has failed to win mass appeal, according to four sources familiar with the matter."

Google I/O 2015: Android OS M Revealed
Subject: Mobile, Shows and Expos | May 29, 2015 - 03:42 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Android, google, google io, google io 2015
I'll be honest with you: I did not see a whole lot that interested me out of the Google I/O keynote. The company released a developer preview of their upcoming Android OS "M", which refers to the thirteenth alphabetical release (although only eleven were formally lettered because they started with "C"upcake). Version nomenclature aside, this release is supposed to tune the experience. While the platform could benefit from a tune-up, it is also synonymous with not introducing major features.
But some things are being added, including "Google Now on Tap". The idea is that Google will understand what is happening on screen and allow the user to access more information about it. In a demo on Engadget, the user was looking at scores for the Golden State Warriors. She asked "When are they playing next", actually using the pronoun "they", and the phone brought up their next game (it was against the Cavaliers).
Fingerprint reading and Android Pay are also being added to this release.
Other than that, it is mostly performance and usability. One example is "Doze State", which allows the OS to update less frequently when the device is inactive. It is supposed to play nice with alarms and notifications though, which is good. Normally, I would wait to see if it actually works before commenting on it, but this seems like something that would only be a problem if no-one thought of it. Someone clearly did, because they apparently mentioned it at the event.
Android M, whatever it will actually be called, is expected to ship to consumers in the Fall.
SHIELD Specifications
Announced just this past June at last year's Google I/O event, Android TV is a platform developed by Google, running Android 5.0 and higher, that aims to create an interactive experience for the TV. This platform can be built into a TV directly as well as into set-top style boxes, like the NVIDIA SHIELD we are looking at today. The idea is to bring the breadth of apps and content to the TV through the Android operating system in a way that is both convenient and intuitive.
NVIDIA announced SHIELD back in March at GDC as the first product to use the company's latest Tegra processor, the X1. This SoC combines an 8-core big.LITTLE ARM processor design with a 256-core implementation of the NVIDIA Maxwell GPU architecture, providing GPU performance previously unseen in an Android device. I have already spent some time with the NVIDIA SHIELD at various events and the promise was clearly there to make it a leading option for Android TV adoption, but obviously there were questions to be answered.
Today's article will focus on my early impressions with the NVIDIA SHIELD, having used it both in the office and at home for a handful of days. As you'll see during the discussion there are still some things to be ironed out, some functionality that needs to be added before SHIELD and Android TV can really be called a must-buy product. But I do think it will get there.
And though this review will focus on the NVIDIA SHIELD, it's impossible not to marry the success of SHIELD with the success of Google's Android TV. The dominant use case for SHIELD is as a media playback device, with the gaming functionality as a really cool side project for enthusiasts and gamers looking for another outlet. For SHIELD to succeed, Google needs to prove that Android TV can improve over other integrated smart TV platforms as well as other set-top box platforms like Boxee, Roku and even the upcoming Apple TV refresh.
But first, let's get an overview of the NVIDIA SHIELD device, pricing and specifications, before diving into my experiences with the platform as a whole.

GoogleU just got noiser; tweets are returning to your search results
Subject: General Tech | May 20, 2015 - 01:02 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: twitter, google
Several years back Google thought it would be fun to include Tweets in Google searches and while they were smart to discontinue that, the reasoning behind ending it, Google+, may not have been as sound. According to Slashdot, once again your searches for information on Google will be accompanied by 140 character posts of scintillating wisdom which will obviously impart far more knowledge than the citation you were looking for. This should also do wonders for those looking to limit the perspectives and opinions they are exposed to as dissenting views can easily be drowned out by tweets that reinforce your beliefs just by minor alterations the text in your search.
On the plus side, one comment on Slashdot shows how to add operators back into your searches, just paste &tbs=li:1 at the end of the URL once you have searched.
Add "&tbs=li:1" to your keyword search string. For example: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&tbs=li:1
"Google will now begin showing tweets alongside search results. Mobile users searching via the Android/iOS apps or through the browser will start seeing the tweets immediately, while the desktop version is "coming shortly." The tweets will only be available for the searches in English to start, but Twitter says they'll be adding more languages soon."

This past weekend I went up to Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard, located in New York State's Finger Lakes region, to go wine tasting with a few friends. I knew that this specific vineyard was known for its Rieslings, but my preference has always been for red wine over white. As refreshing as a glass of white may taste, I'm always left feeling like my body's been run over by a truck. In general I find white wine is far too acidic for my stomach, therefore I opt to not drink it, EVER.
But Hermann J. Weimer's Rieslings are so well-regarded, I couldn't possibly miss a chance to try them...hangover fears notwithstanding. To my surprise, I fell in love. Weimer's Rieslings (both the Dry and Semi-Dry) and their Gewürtraminer were so aromatic and subtly sweet, and most importantly, they did not leave me feeling high and dry the following day. I even bought a few bottles to take home, and I have no intention of sharing them unless I'm tortured and then forced to. So I guess the rule is, never say never.
Do you prefer red wine or white? Was there any particular event that made you change your mind about your preference?

Rick DiPietro's time with the Charlotte Checkers has come to an end.
Coach Jeff Daniels confirmed Tuesday morning that the team has released the 32-year-old veteran of 318 NHL games from his professional tryout contract. Since joining Charlotte on Oct. 26, exactly one month ago, DiPietro went 0-4-0 with a 5.18 goals-against average and .846 save percentage.
Following Tuesday's practice, Daniels said that, although he had not spoken directly to DiPietro, he understood the move to have come from the goaltender rather than the Carolina Hurricanes organization, which originally signed the longtime New York Islander following injuries to Cam Ward and Anton Khudobin.
"He called Jim Rutherford last night and thanked him for the opportunity," said Daniels. "He just didn't think it was going to go anywhere.
"I talked to him last week and said right now we have three goalies here and we're waiting for one of them to step up and be the guy. The opportunity was there for him to do that, but he didn't feel that it was going to go his way."

Hiya, I was looking at modifying the popular blog posts widget to cater for popular forum threads, but it's a bit beyond my coding ability, I was wondering if anyone was up for the challenge?
Basically the widget would show the forum threads with a number of posts above a set limit (to determine if its popular or not) with a setting for the maximum threads to show.
The idea is to be able to see from other pages (primarily the home page) what forum threads are popular.
Thanks in advance,

President Yoweri Museveni is in Ethiopian Capital Addis Ababa for 22nd AU Ordinary session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government.
The President was received at Bole International Air Port by Ethiopian Minister of Mines, Tolosa Shogi, Uganda's Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Kutesa, Uganda's Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Ethiopia Mull Katende, AU officials and other dignitaries.
The 22nd Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government opens today January 30, 2014 under the theme, "2014 Year of Agriculture and Food Security, Marking 10th Anniversary of the Adoption of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP)."

AFP reports that Conflict in Central African Republic and South Sudan dominated the agenda as Africa's leaders gathered Thursday for a two-day summit of the continental bloc in Ethiopia.
The talks, opened by African Union chairman and Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn mid morning Thursday, are officially themed on agriculture and food security.
But the 54-member bloc will spend much of the time bogged down yet again trying to resolve conflict in member states.
"Our hearts go to the people of the Central African Republic and South Sudan who face devastating conflicts in their countries and especially to women and children who've become the victims," AU chairperson Nkosazana-Dlamini Zuma said in her opening remarks.
"We have to work together to ensure that we build lasting peace," she told the African heads of state gathered in Addis Ababa.
Speaking at a ministerial-level meeting this week, Ethiopian Foreign Minister Tedros Adhanom lamented that "humanitarian tragedies are unfolding in the two countries at a time when we are talking about 'African renaissance'."
The unfolding humanitarian disaster in CAR, where a 5,300-strong AU force is deployed alongside 1,600 French soldiers, will be a key talking point.
CAR descended into chaos 10 months ago after rebels overthrew the government, sparking sectarian violence that has uprooted a million people out of a population of 4.6 million.
On Saturday, after the official summit closes, African leaders and Western diplomats will hold a pledging conference to raise cash for the African Union-led MISCA mission.
"What we hope is strong support for MISCA, to enable it to implement its mandate more effectively," the director of the AU peace and security council, El-Ghassim Wane, told AFP.
The warring parties in neighbouring South Sudan signed a fragile ceasefire last week, but clashes between government and rebels continue, with thousands killed and over 800,000 forced from their homes in bloodshed that has now lasted for six weeks.
AU peace and security commissioner Smail Chergui said the bloc was calling on Juba to release four remaining prisoners -- after seven were set free -- rather than put them on trial for attempting to topple the government.
Chergui said their release is key "so they can participate and contribute to the dialogue that will be initiated between all the parties of South Sudan".
Peace talks led by the regional East African bloc IGAD adjourned after last week's ceasefire deal, with mediators calling for the AU to play a greater role in the peace process.
Heads of state will gather at the gleaming Chinese-built AU headquarters, which comes eight months after the bloc marked its 50th anniversary in May.
The controversial role on the continent of the International Criminal Court (ICC) is also expected to be addressed.
Phil Clark, politics lecturer at London's SOAS University, said the AU faces criticism in its response to crises, especially in South Sudan and CAR, noting the "concern... the AU isn't showing sufficient leadership in resolving these types of conflicts."
Leaders are also expected to focus on "Agenda 2063", a 50-year roadmap for the AU that has been a major pre-occupation for Dlamini-Zuma.
The one-year rotating chair of the AU, currently led by Ethiopia, will also be replaced.
Mauritania's Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, who became the north African country's president in 2009 after leading two coups in four years, is tipped to take the post.

Designers: Charles and Ray Eames
The Eames Molded Plywood Dining Chairs with wood base are a true original and a classic design suitably sized for any table calling for refined seating with enduring style. Cited by Time magazine as the Best Design of the 20th Century, the chairs are offered in a choice of six finishes as well as a lightly upholstered version.

The molded plywood dining chairs offer the same exceptional comfort and enduring style as the lounge chairs. But they're sized to work at the table.
These Eames chairs are molded to fit the contours of the body, so sitting on this icon of modern design feels good. By molding thin sheets of lightweight veneer into gently curved shapes, Charles and Ray Eames managed to give a hard material a soft appearance and establish the foundation for the design of modern furniture. An upholstery option introduces a soft touch and a dash of color to this classic design.
"Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design."Charles and Ray Eames View Design Story
These chairs can be upholstered in just about any fabric you like. When upholstered, the chair's back and seat have exposed veneer on the back sides. Veneers are available in six wood finishes—white ash, ebonized ash, natural cherry, walnut, and santos palisander. Or you can have them in a richly grained birch veneer stained red.
The plywood has natural face veneers with hardwood inner plies and a five-ply seat and back, together with gracefully curved eight-ply legs. Natural rubber shock mounts absorb movement. The dining chair is 29.5 inches high and has a straighter back, more appropriate for dining, than the lounge chair.

First, President George W. Bush wined and dined them only say he had a headache, then they were hit by the Ralph Reed (gayish fraud) and Ted Haggard (gayish gay) scandals, and now it seems their dream of seeing the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will remain just a dream.Yesterday, three years and four days before the end was to come, God signed an agreement with Satan extending the Earth's lease for another ten thousand years.]]>Kim Jong Il Wins 'Kim Jong Il Award' Again!http://thelostnews.com/world/kim-jong-il-wins-kim-jong-il-award-again.htmlChris2007-07-25T15:03:53Z2007-07-25T15:03:53Z(Pyongyang, Democratic People's Republic of Korea) All of North Korea was abuzz last night as the Chairman of the National Defense Commission, Supreme Leader and God-King Kim Jong Il surprised everyone by winning the 2006 'Kim Jong Il' Award. This marked the 12th win in a row (out of the 12 years the award has been given) for the little Napoleon of the Far East. Kim, dressed in a ruffled shirt and pastel tux, scampered to the stage and began to sing ROCKET MAN. After he finished the entire song, he decried that Rocket Man was his new name, and that he had written the song. Then he showed some choreographed emotion. "I don't know what to say, I really wasn't expecting to win again! I mean twelve years in a row? Who does that? Come on! I guess you really love me DPRK. You really love me!" But do they? An anonymous staffer said in a hushed tone, "Love him? Yea, like three day old rice. This whole award ceremony is all a colossal, self-serving evening of bullshit." And as the T was hanging on his tongue, he was carted away and given the very important job (by none other that Rocket Man himself) of testing a new bulletproof helmet. (Unfortunately for the staffer, we were later told that the helmet still has a design problems. ) Rocket Man's 1st assistant, Munhwa Seok, while kissing a picture of Rocket Man, said, "Rocket Man's victory in this very competitive contest is spectacular. And because the Korean people honored him with such a victory, Rocket Man has given the staff an hour off and will turn on the nation's lights for one extra hour tonight. It's a very exciting time to be North Korean." The local people agree, "Rocket Man deserves this award. He works very hard to keep this country number one. And tonight it was nice to have the extra light. I'm reading Rocket Man's biography. And I got to get to the part where he single-handedly defeated the Americans. What a Korean." While the people of the PDRK are impressed with Rocket Man's win. The rest of the world is not. American President George W. Bush has this to say, "He's a crazy, power hungry man who cares nothing about democracy. And let's face it, winning the 'Kim Jong Il' Award is nothing to crow about. It's not like winning the "George W. Bush' Award that will premiere this fall. And guess who's going to win that gem. Go on, guess."]]>Newly Discovered 3rd Sect Of Islam Keeping Their Damn Trap Shuthttp://thelostnews.com/world/2007/4/14/newly-discovered-3rd-sect-of-islam-keeping-their-damn-trap-shut.htmlChris2007-04-15T00:50:04Z2007-04-15T00:50:04Z(Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) A stunning discovery has rocked not only the Islamic world, but also the entire planet. Members of an unknown 3rd sect of Islam, called the Susees, were found living in a small village in southern Saudi Arabia."This is amazing. This opens up the debate on who really holds the mantle of Islam handed down from the Prophet," said Ibrahim Al-Saad, professor of Islamic Studies at New York University "I can't wait to interview these people and find out what has happened to them all these years.""I'll tell you what's been happening all these years, we've been living in peace," said an anonymous Susee leader "We haven't been chopping the heads off our enemies, and we haven't had our heads chopped off. And we like it that way. So leave us alone."But the Islamic world can't do that. Both Shia and Sunni leaders from the Middle East are thrilled that there's a new player in the Muslim game."With the help of the Susees, we will crush the Shia Crescent before it emerges," said a spokesman for Saudi leader King Abdullah."My friend has it all wrong," countered Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "The Shia and Susees will come together and establish a world wide Shia Crescent, finally drowning the Sunni and the West's influence."So which side will the Susees pick?"We reserve the right to keep our damn trap shut," said the anonymous Susee leader "and our location secret. So again, please scram.""It seems that the Susees just want to sit on the sidelines and let the Shia and Sunni fight it out," said Professor Al-Saad "That's a very shrewd position, but I don't think the world is going to let the Susees sit by and do nothing."Which is why the Susees are moving. "What did I say? We like peace, and there is no peace in their Islam," said the Susie leader over the phone "So now we're going underground. I hope you're happy, a-hole." Then the phone went dead, and the Susees were gone. In a strange twist, the Shia and Sunni are not blaming each other or their faith for the loss of their Islamic brethren, but the United States of America. "What the shit else is new?" asked a tired President George W. Bush "Hell, I can't catch a break with these people."]]>George Zimmer Tells Ahmadinejad, "I Have The Tie For You, I Guarantee It."http://thelostnews.com/world/2007/4/14/george-zimmer-tells-ahmadinejad-i-have-the-tie-for-you-i-gua.htmlChris2007-04-15T00:46:16Z2007-04-15T00:46:16Z(Houston, TX) Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rubs a lot of people the wrong way, whether he's claiming that the Holocaust never happened, unofficially aiding Shiite rebels in Iraq or moving his country's nuclear program forward. But that's not what gets in the craw of Men's Warehouse founder George Zimmer. "Why can't he wear a damn tie?" asked Zimmer "He's a head of state. Call me old fashion, but I think that title requires the individual to wear a tie."And most people agree with Zimmer including Vice President Dick Cheney. "Well, I think Ahmadinejad's choice not to wear a tie is proof that he's not only a threat to freedom but also to the entire world," said Cheney "Just remember that Kim Jong-Il doesn't wear a tie, Saddam didn't either, and if you go back in history neither did Hitler, Mussolini or Japan's Emperor Hirohito. Basically, if you don't wear a tie, you're an asshole.""Well if anyone can spot an asshole, it's another asshole," said Ahmadinejad's spokesman Abdul Talani over the phone "The President doesn't wear a tie because he rejects the Western standard of dress as vulgar." But off the record, Talani gave another reason. "President Ahmadinejad really doesn't wear a tie because he doesn't know how to tie a one. And he's not the type of man who likes to be taught things, much like your President Bush," said Talani."He can't tie a tie?" asked George Zimmer "That's not a problem. The clip-on technology has come a long way. I have literally hundreds of clip-on ties in all types of colors, patterns and knots. So there is no excuse for President Ahmadinejad not to wear a tie, unless he wants to start another World War. But I don't think he does. Something tells me that he just hasn't found the right tie. Now you tell Mr. Talani to give this message to President Ahmadinejad. Mr. President I have the tie for you. I Guarantee It."]]>New Car Smell, Gonehttp://thelostnews.com/world/2007/4/15/new-car-smell-gone.htmlChris2007-04-15T00:44:52Z2007-04-15T00:44:52Z(Baghdad, Iraq) Shiite Muslim Amir Yousef spent 15 years of his adult life saving for a car. He often worked up to two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve extra jobs until the day he had enough money and bought a brand new used car. "It was practically new. It only had 10 miles on it," says Yousef holding a picture of him and the car during better times. "And it still had that new car smell. I loved that smell. I loved it so much that I used to eat all my meals in that car."That was until yesterday, when the car became a victim of a Sunni bomb and the growing Iraqi civil war. "My new car smell is gone!" cried Yousef "Now I have nothing. My life is over!"Some, like his cousin Mohammad, think Amir is being melodramatic. "It's just a car. He should consider himself lucky that he wasn't blown up. And anyway, the car was an old clunker. There was no new car smell.""Forgive my cousin, he has the brain of a retarded monkey and knows not what he says," said Amir "That car's sweet delicate smell was like a little heaven, a little heaven for my nostrils. And I have to have it back. I want, no I demand that the American's bring it back! This civil war is their fault!""First of all there is no civil war just crazy death squads killing each other. Secondly, we'd love to help, but we don't re-create old new car smells," said US commander General George Casey "The best we can do is give him a new car with a new new car smell.""Not good enough," said a defiant Amir "I want my old new car smell or I will become radicalized, chant the Koran and become a suicide bomber. This is, by the way, how terrorists are made. So it's up to you Casey, a little old new car smell or a bomb up your ass! Email me and let me know."The story ends there because Amir has suddenly vanished without a trace, and as far as we know General Casey's ass is just fine.]]>149 Die Celebrating Saddam's Death Sentence For Killing 148http://thelostnews.com/world/2007/4/14/149-die-celebrating-saddams-death-sentence-for-killing-148.htmlChris2007-04-15T00:42:20Z2007-04-15T00:42:20Z(Baghdad, Iraq) Yesterday former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his former associates were sentenced to death by hanging after being convicted for the 1982 killings of 148 Shiites.In a wave of celebration, some of the surviving Shiites took to Baghdad's streets and fired several hundred guns into the air in order to show their excitement. But two minutes later, tragedy struck, when 149 people were killed as the bullets fell back to Earth.The families of the victims were outraged and immediately assigned the blame. "This is all Saddam's fault," said celebrator and AK-47 owner Abu Hamza " If he hadn't killed my people in 1982, angered the world, started and lost a war in 91, bluffed about having nuclear weapons, been overthrown by the Americans, been put on trial and found guilty, then my brothers and I would had never fired our guns into the air in celebration and those 149 people would still be alive.""Yes, Abu is right," said fellow AK-47 owner Ruz al-Jubouri "Saddam just never learns. It's like he has zero respect for human life or a drop of common sense."But some American soldiers have said that maybe it wasn't such a common sensical idea to fire the guns in the first place. "It's a gravity thing," said an unidentified U.S. soldier "What goes up, must come down."Hamza doesn't see it that way. He thinks it's disgusting to try and shift the blame onto his culture. "You know, this never would have happened, we never would have fired our guns into the air, if your guys hadn't invaded our country, put Saddam on trial and convicted him. So this is your fault, U.S. soldiers."When we reminded Hamza that he previously said that Saddam was to blame, he blamed us, saying that if the media didn't report the 1982 killings, the invasion of Kuwait, the standoff with weapons inspectors, the war, the occupation, the arrest and conviction of Saddam, then they never would have fired their guns into the air. When we suggested that that answer made no sense, Hamza fired his gun into the air. We ran like hell to safety, but 10 more people died, when those bullets came back down. Now Hamza and his buddies are saying that Saddam, the U.S. Army, and the media should be on the hook for those 10 people.In order to prevent any more celebratory deaths, the U.S. Army is encouraging the Shiites to celebrate the American way, by just burning cars.]]>

How would I shorten a composite stock?

Most composite stocks are a fiberglass, kevlar or carbon fiber shell, filled with expanding foam.
Inside some composite stocks will be hardware for mounting sling swivels, pillar bedding for some types of rifles, mounting points for hardware for adjustable combs, etc.
You can cut the fiberglass (or other) shell very easily; just use a fine-toothed saw. If you need to re-fill an area of the stock, you can use expanding foam to do so. If you need to patch a composite stock, you can buy fiberglass cloth and use runny Acra-glas as your epoxy/glue.
For what you want to do, you should make sure you have the mounting points for the recoil pad in place and glued or foamed in before you mount the pad, then grind the pad as you would on any other stock.

Well, we found someone who is enjoying their BART ride. Ex-BART Manager-turned Golden Parachuter Dorothy Dugger has reportedly been cashing in her six-figure salary while "sitting at home."
The Bay Area News Group investigated the former manager who resigned under pressure in 2011; at that time, she was criticized for her ridiculously high salary and her $1 million resignation package. Despite all that, she still managed to finagle more money out of BART, and in 2012 she brought home more than the current General manager of the transit agency.
Per the newspaper:
Under a lucrative retirement scheme, Dugger, 57, quietly stayed on the books, burning off nearly 80 weeks of unused vacation time, drawing paychecks and full benefits for more than 19 months after she agreed to quit in May 2011. By remaining on BART's payroll, she accrued almost two extra months of vacation, while sitting at home drawing a six-figure salary for unused time off. The months of extra pay were on top of the $920,000 that BART paid Dugger to leave after the agency's board botched an effort to fire her by violating public meetings laws.
What's even more shocking is that BART board members somehow didn't notice this.
"Wow," James Fang, a BART board member, told BANG. "She was still on the payroll? I did not know this. It's startling."
Indeed it is.
Here's a fun factoid for those of you who have been scrounging the change bowl at home for BART rides: Last year, Dugger's gross pay could have bought 52,837 round-trip BART tickets between downtown Oakland and San Francisco's Financial district.
But Dugger shrugged off the report, saying she was entitled to her 3,100 hours of vacation time that she racked up over the last 20 years.
In fact when asked whether she thought BART's vacation policy was doing the transit agency any good, she responded "I think BART's track record on fiscal management is quite solid."
Well, of course she does.

Rob.M should be a great contender for the title.
Rob.M should be a great contender for the title.
If Rob does keep his mouth shut, he will be needed for his strength and then he could certainly go far.

I like Rob. What's there not to like? He never took anything seriously. It was a game to him and that's what it is.
He didn't go sour grapes when he got backstabbed (by Vee). He was gracious in defeat even though he had been voted out by a few people whose mutual interest was to keep him in the game and vote out Rotu 4 instead.
He's happy-go-lucky and very funny in his confessionals.
He reads people well and is very smart. He is in sharp contrast to people who are up themselves and think they are wonderful or deserving to win.
He knows the game well and won't hold anything back to try and win the game.
He doesn't sit back and let the game happen to him, he tries to take control (subtly, not like people like Rupert) that people don't realise it until it's too late.
He is entertaining to watch. He doesn't take things personally and doesn't whinge and whine when things don't go his way. He is not on the show to prove anything to anyone: nice guy this, nice guy that. He wants to win because he is good at this game and he enjoys playing it.
He always has that smile on his face as if he is enjoying himself. I just hope he doesn't get drunk this time. He is good at making alliances.
If he keeps his head he will go far because he is a mover and a shaker without being a leader and therefore won't have a big target on his back.
Not only is he entertaining to watch he's one hott tamale
I love your discription of him, Loca. He is just THAT hot, eh? You are gonna enjoy him all shirtless, I know it! I can just see you drooling the moment he appears shirtless
Girls and shirtless guys...serisouly girls you don't see me drooling over Jenna or jerri do you? wait...nvm..hahaha...
No but serisouly Rob M ... totally un-predictable guy, how would he play the game? maybe seeing his mistakes from his previous game, he might improve..don't care really though...
His tribe though...makes him look like the "colby" hahah...
The one thing i love about Rob M is that he's always shirtless

TAXILA, Dec 30: The National Highway and motorway police (NH&MP) and Taxila Police in different incidents foiled bids to smuggle narcotics from Peshawar and arrested two outlaws, allegedly members of an organised gang.
In the first incident, NH&MP on the Peshawar to Islamabad Motorway confiscated 5 kilogrammes of hashish.
NH&MP spokesman Umer Shoaib told newsmen that acting on a tip-off, a patrol team headed by patrolling officer Mohammad Shafeeq stopped a car violating traffic rules. During search over 5 kilogrammes of hashish was recovered. Police also arrested the driver. Later the vehicle along with narcotics was handed over to the Anti Narcotics Force officials for further investigation. In the second incident, Taxila police foiled a bid to smuggle five kilogrammes of heroin and arrested a member of a smuggling ring.
Addressing a press conference, Sub divisional Police officer Taxila circle Raja Taifour Akhter said that acting on a tip-off, a police party led by SHO Inspector Mohammad Khan intercepted a car on GT road coming from Peshawar and on search recovered 2 kilogrammes opium and 5 kilogrammes of fine quality heroin from hidden parts of the car and arrested the driver. A case was registered against the accused under the narcotics law.
He said that police also arrested a car thief and recovered a stolen car that the accused was trying to shift to the tribal areas.—Correspondent

Something you may have read or seen in recent time is a building described as LEED-certified. Maybe it caught your cat-like curiosity, or maybe you just ignored it. Well, in the spirit of the approaching Earth Day on April 22, let's delve a bit into what LEED is and why it matters.
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is a green building certification program to recognize best-in-class building strategies and practices.
For a building to achieve LEED certification, it must satisfy prerequisites and earn points for different levels of certification. Within LEED there are five ratings systems to address different project types. They are: Building Design and Construction, Interior Design and Construction, Building Operations and Maintenance, Neighborhood Development, and Homes.
Within these five systems, there are specific prerequisites for each project to satisfy and a variety of credits projects can pursue to earn points. The number of points will determine the LEED certification level.
The points breakdown is like this: 40-49 is Certified; 50-59 is Silver; 60-79 is Gold; 80-plus is Platinum.
So why should a building take on the role of a college student and try to satisfy prerequisites to earn its LEED degree? Well, for one: it helps the environment.
At its core, going green is about finding ways to benefit and preserve our environment. Being cognizant of our surroundings means doing our part to take care of our natural world. New-age architecture is able to help companies reduce their carbon footprint and benefit their community and its environment.
Going green and striving for LEED certification also has its benefits beyond helping the environment.
Progessive AE, an architecture and engineering firm in Grand Rapids, Mich., outlines various ways going green has its economical benefits in their blog post, The Benefits of Green.
Businesses can raise productivity, lower operating costs, repurpose wasted energy, and more, all by seeking LEED accreditation. Ultimately, you'll find environmental, economic, and social benefits with green building.
By looking at going green as an investment, in the long run you can ultimately cut down on cost and help your business, all the while being environmentally friendly.
For more on LEED and green building, visit progressiveae.com and read The Benefits of Going Green. Also, check out this wonderful infographic from lineshapespace.com below.

Metroid II: The Return Of Samus was released in 1991 for the Game Boy. Project AM2R, some six years in the making, takes that Game Boy game and makes it look, sound and play so much prettier. The fan project got its first full release on Saturday, to coincide with the series' 30th. However, it wasn't long before the big N stepped in with DMCA injunction to have the website removed and the game was taken down as twittered by the game's developer here.
Now with the site down, they've resorted to a possible short-term haven over on their facebook page, which I suspect will be met with the same distaste of Nintendo's lawyer team, with fans uproar over this, it was to be expected that Nintendo would have the pop noodle horn over this and released the hounds, the game mine is something very special, being a pet project for the last 6 years putting this together only to be removed is a total travesty in my opinion, I'm all for companies protecting their IP's, but when no profit is being made from this, where's the harm? no really where's the harm? again Nintendo used their might and only make themselves looks the kids throwing his toys out of his pram. Shame on Nintendo, first the NES Compendium from Bitmap Books and now this?
As you can see it's very faithful to the original and looks very similar to Nintendo's own Super Metroid released on the Super Nintendo back in 1994, although the game has been removed from its main site, fellow supporters have gone on to defy Nintendo's DMCA claims and posted which I suspect will be removed very soon, a download link to the game with you can get the game here : http://www.mediafire.com/download/6b6ho13qbf9y6ca/AM2R_10.zip now remember this game is completely free and deserves to be out there for all the amazing work the team did while remaking it. for more news on this project you can, of course, head over to their Facebook page also check out the gameplay video of this wonderful remake.

Online Degrees Viewed More Favorably
Oct 13, 2009
While there is still a stigma attached to online education, new data indicate that employer perception of online schools is changing. By leveraging the Internet, online colleges and universities have opened up countless opportunities to learners. Online learning learning that takes place partially or entirely over the Internet has become popular because of its potential for providing more flexible access to content and instruction at any time, from any place. Reuters reports that online education grew 13 percent last year, and that nearly one-quarter of students now take some online college courses. In 2002, only 10 percent did so. Of more than 18 million U.S. college students, 3.9 million were enrolled in at least one online college course in fall 2007, a 13 percent rise from 2006. Over the same period, traditional on-campus enrollment increased 1 percent. Adult mid-career professionals, in particular, are flocking to study in online courses and even earn entire degrees through distance learning. The benefits are obvious: They offer convenience, accommodating work and family schedules. As such, institutions offering online degrees have proliferated in the adult and higher education landscape to meet these needs. However, many people remain concerned about a certain stigma being attached to their online coursework. Some institutions lack the appropriate accreditation, while some universities dubbed "degree mills" award diplomas not worth much more than the paper they are printed on. Yet "the lingering image of online business schools as diploma mills is oversimplified, to say the least," BNET says. Already, acceptance of online university degrees is on the rise, gaining in popularity, legitimacy and prestige. Many corporations are hiring applicants with online degrees or providing tuition reimbursement, according to new findings. "CFOs and faculty believe the quality of online education is as good as face-to-face," I. Elaine Allen, an associate professor of entrepreneurship at Babson College and co-author of Staying the Course: Online Education in the United States, 2008, recently told eLearn Magazine. Staying the Course is part of an ongoing Sloan Foundation-sponsored project that annually surveys every school of higher education in the U.S., asking questions about their online learning options. The results of the Sloan study reinforce new findings from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). In a July 2009 survey of human resources (HR) professionals across industries, 76 percent of respondents said they view online university degrees more favorably today than they did five years ago. Moreover, individual courses (as opposed to online degrees) taken through online universities are considered as credible as traditional university courses by 58 percent of respondents. Of the companies that provide tuition assistance for courses, 95 percent of SHRM's respondents said there is no difference in terms of tuition assistance between employees studying through accredited online universities and those studying through accredited traditional universities for the same degree level. Similarly, a Vault.com study reports that 83 percent of employers and hiring managers consider online degrees more acceptable than they were five years ago. "[T]he notion that online study is inferior is not borne out by the evidence," BNET says. Proponents of online education cite a recent Department of Education study that leaned in favor of blended and online learning. Examining a 12-year span of studies completed mostly in college and adult-education programs, the U.S. Department of Education reports this year that some online learning (i.e., blended learning) is actually superior to exclusively face-to-face learning. The Education Department report follows other meta-analyses published in the Review of Educational Research, in Teachers College Record and by Concordia University's Centre for the Study of Learning and Performance. The perceived quality of courses taken over the Internet also depends on the online university offering them. A 2008 Inside Higher Education article referenced a Zogby International survey indicating that corporate HR directors and CEOs "valued online degrees from well-known colleges more than those from lesser-known institutions." Vault.com reports that 77 percent of hiring managers consider an online degree received through an established university, such as Duke or Stanford, more acceptable than a degree earned through an Internet-only university, like Capella or Jones International. Some say such an assessment is unfair, as Capella and Stanford have the same regional accreditation and uphold rigorous academic standards. (Source: Back2College.com) Despite the rapid growth of enrollment and more mainstream acceptance of online learning, many recruiters still see an online degree as an inferior credential. Last year, when Vault.com asked if employers would give equal consideration to job candidates with online degrees and those with degrees from traditional colleges and universities, 63 percent of respondents said they would favor job candidates with traditional degrees while 35 percent said they would give them equal consideration. For employers, even though roughly half of the 4,500 brick-and-mortar colleges and universities in the United States now offer online education programs, "a cultural shift will be required before employers greet online degrees without skepticism," the Washington Post recently said. "But all the elements are in place for that shift."

AFTER a year of having her nose stuck in the books, Talia Rose from South Grafton High will be able to rest easy in the New Year before tackling a science degree.
Miss Rose duxed the school with an exceptional ATAR rank of 99.05.
Having aced all four units of HSC English, three units of advanced maths, physics, chemistry, biology and legal studies Talia is contemplating a future in the sciences.
"My highest score was in legal studies but I'm hoping to do bio-medical science or bio-medical engineering or an advanced science degree majoring in neurology," Talia said.
She has applied to a few universities, and is waiting for offers of a scholarship.
For her fourth unit of English Talia put together a multimedia based creative piece on how modern technology and social media reflect literature, in particular Hamlet.
However she enjoyed the sciences most of all and consequently has chosen them as her future career focus.

Rock journalists have a habit of bending a band's history into a Behind the Music-style template. Said band struggles through a few years of obscurity. Said band releases an album that catapults them into superstardom. Huge tours, massive amounts of drugs and internal arguments, combined with the inability to cope with newfound fame begin to corrode said band. And if the lead singer of said band band is famously standoffish to the press, and the follow-up album either contains no discernible hits or challenges listener expectations, the album is written off as a "career suicide" album.
Pulp's This Is Hardcore quickly joined Faith No More's Angel Dust and Nirvana's In Utero as a perceived career suicide album upon its release. It certainly fit the career suicide mold: The album didn't contain any instantaneously appealing songs like their previous album Different Class, the band was going through some heavy internal conflict and lead singer Jarvis Cocker opted to jet to New York to decompress over the holidays. Alone. Around this time, longtime Pulp guitarist/violinist Russell Senior left the band.
Down a longtime bandmember and in full isolation mode, Cocker could have easily written an album about what an utter bitch fame was. But just as he was able to strike a universal chord with the class warfare call to arms classics "Miss Shapes" and "Common People", Jarvis tackled something even scarier than fame backlash: the inevitable acceleration of middle age.

BALTIMORE (Jun. 18)
Discriminatory practices in Baltimore were dealt a major blow when a retailer up for confirmation to the Redevelopment Commission, was rejected by the City Council, by a vote of 19 to one because a public hearing revealed that his business practices had been anti-Semitic for a number of years.
The evidence on the realtor, George R. Morris, was presented by Solomon Rogers, president of the Baltimore Jewish Council; Rabbi Morris Lieberman, chairman of its steering committee; and Leon Sachs, its executive director. They noted that Mr. Morris' anti-Semitic policy had been practiced for a number of years in the exclusion of Jews from residences, two swimming pools and a golf club.
In his testimony, Mr. Rogers pointed out that "for many years there have existed in Baltimore anti-Semitic restrictions in housing that have been notorious. Visitors to this city from many parts of the United States have been amazed that such a thing existed in this age. One of the principal originators of this vicious policy was Mr. George R. Morris and he has been an influential factor in the perpetuation of this policy."

Quite excited to present these images to you – a little sneak peak into the RMK campaign that I shot in Melbourne a couple weeks ago. It was a crazy ride, to jump onto 3 consecutive flights – stay in Melbourne just 5 nights – and then do the same harrowing plane journey back to Amsterdam! Thankfully the day of the shoot I was so excited – I felt flooded with adrenaline. I really live for this, and to shoot the very gorgeous Anja K really was what I'd call a highlight of my career so far. Really can't wait to share the final images with you next week. Thanks again to RMK for giving me the opportunity to take part in this campaign!!
My interview for the Vine HERE – discussing the shoot and this blogging life!

Mmm, I'm afraid that you added 'bool' but forgot about 'Bool'. Also, ComplexXXX seems to follow item-bit-width convention instead of numarray convention. Although I'm a bit hesitant on this regard in the sense that having a 'complex64' equivalent to 'Complex32' can be a source of confusion. For the sake of consistency, I'd advocate to let things as they are now, i.e. 'Complex64' --> 'complex64' and 'Complex128' --> 'complex128'. I know that this violates the numarray convention, but consistency should always be a must. Perhaps a possible solution would be to define another dictionary just for numarray mappings. So, we can have typeDict with the new types defined in scipy_core and, say, typeDictNA that contains the types defined in numarray. I think this would be a good way to avoid unnecessary confusions and to simplify the already cluttered typeDict.

Having the possibility to create arrays with int32([1,2,3,4]) sounds appealing indeed. However, I wonder if you are providing too much functionality to the dtype object. For me, it should just be a container for the type of the data, but allowing it to be also a factory for arrays may be confusing. This object could also define some methods to write the different string representations for dtype. For example dtype.char() will be equivalent to .dtypechar() defined in ndarray object. In the same way, dtype.str() would be equivalent to .dtypestr and dtype.descr() would be equivalent to .dtypedescr(). Maybe unrelated with this discussion, but important anyway because of the (supposedly) large userbase that ipython have is the fact that ipython will call the __call__() function for the object, if it founds it. This makes things worse for the (ipython) user that wants just to print the value of the dtype object. So, my opinion on this subject is that dtype should just be a container for information, and not a factory, and that __call__ should be disabled on it (it is no longer necessary in this scenario). You may add different intxx(), floatxx()... factories, but having array() I think that would be more than enough. > > In [118]: str(a.dtype) > > Out[118]: "<type 'int32_arrtype'>" > > > > In [121]: repr(a.dtype) > > Out[121]: "<type 'int32_arrtype'>" > > This would require creating a new metaclass because a.dtype is a > typeobject and so prints using the standard type object printing. We > would have to inherit from the typeobject to change that standard. > > I think rather than shield people from the idea that dtype is an actual > typeobject (which changing the printing would do) we should emphaize > that fact. I see your point. However, for better numarray interaction, I would like to have a mean for a direct translation between numarray<-->scipy_core types. For example, given a dtype like <type 'int32_arrtype'>, I'd like to be able to have a direct map into numarray type (I think this is not possible now, is it?). In fact, this is another point in favor of defining a new typeDictNA (or maybe typeNA, for short), with keys for mapping the types in both senses. For example: {<type 'int8_arrtype'>: 'Int8', <type 'int16_arrtype'>: 'Int16',... 'b': 'Int8', 'h': 'Int16', ... # For shorter char keys 'i1': 'Int8', 'i2': 'Int16', ... # For string convention keys 'Int8': 'b', 'Int16': 'h', ...} # The reverse mapping Maybe this is too specific to my needs, but I'm sure that this can facilitate the migration from numarray to scipy_core to other people as well. Finally, I have yet another (the last one, at least for today ;-) question about scipy_core: In [35]: print scicore.typeDict['I'], scicore.typeDict['L'] <type 'uint32_arrtype'> <type 'uint32_arrtype'> In [36]: scicore.typeDict['I'] == scicore.typeDict['L'] Out[36]: False The same goes for: In [38]: print scicore.typeDict['i'], scicore.typeDict['l'] <type 'int32_arrtype'> <type 'int32_arrtype'> In [39]: print scicore.typeDict['i'] == scicore.typeDict['l'] False Is this consistent?. I would say no (I'm on a 32-bit platform). Cheers, -- >0,0< Francesc Altet http://www.carabos.com/ V V Cárabos Coop. V. Enjoy Data "-"

The new Ben Stiller/Eddie Murphy comedy Tower Heist is coming to theaters on November 4th. Just three weeks after that, Universal Pictures will release Tower Heist on Video on Demand (VOD) for $59.99, which as we all know by now is just a douchebag way of saying "sixty dollars." What's the problem? Geez, where to even start. We could right a big stupid essay, but instead let's just boil it down to a few talking points.
Movie studios seem to think that the $60 price range will placate theater owners, who are angry about the already short period between theatrical and home video releases. They also seem to think that it won't just enrage audiences. Presumably they think the price range will make sense for families and gatherings of more than six people, assuming they each fork over their own fair share. Allow us to dramatize…
"Hey Dave! You want to see Tower Heist?"
"You want to come over to our house where the kids will have no sense of public propriety and we can interrupt the experience constantly with phone calls and unrelated conversation?"
"We're paying $60 to see this marquee film only three weeks after anyone else with a vested interest in the motion picture has! It's a steal!"
"No it's not."
"But your share is just $5 because we invited a bunch of other people from the neighborhood!"
"I hate you and everything you stand for, Jim."
And… scene.
Seriously, the biggest sticking point is this: near as we can figure, nobody we know even wants to see Tower Heist in the first place. But beyond that, even filmmakers are getting in on the argument. Tower Heist director Brett Ratner doesn't even approve of this idea. Right now, this is being considered a test of this new distribution model, and will only be offered in Atlanta and Portland, Oregon.
Do you live there? Would you pay $60 to see Tower Heist?
CraveOnline will be back with more industry silliness after we do lunch.

A 15-year old boy has been left hospitalised after a four-day "Modern Warfare 3 marathon" left him severely dehydrated.
Tyler Rigby, from Columbus, Ohio, collapsed after the mammoth four-day session, where he only left his room to eat a snack or use the bathroom.
"It's like he was looking at me but he wasn't there. It was like he was looking through me," Tyler's aunt Jennifer Thompson told TV station WCMH (via CBS).
"We were talking and I heard a thump and I looked over and he just fell.
"I was very scared. I thought he was going to die," she continued. "He just fell over three times."
Let's hope Tyler made the most of it.
"The Xbox is gone," she added.
The role of parental responsibility has made the headlines numerous times in recent weeks following new UK legislation that made PEGI age ratings legally enforceable.
UKIE CEO Dr Jo Twist told VideoGamer.com that ensuring children are playing games appropriately is a "joint responsibility".
"It's a multi-prong approach that we have to take," she said, "and we all have a responsibility to make sure children and parents are having conversations about what they're doing in digital environments and what games they're playing.
"In the same way that you wouldn't let your kid cross the road without telling them how to cross the road, equally it's the industry's responsibility, which we've done with PEGI age ratings and all the other safety measures and parental controls, and it's the responsibility of retailers.
"It's a joint responsibility, but ultimately what we want to do is make sure that parents are understanding games more clearly."
