Best Free Web Browser
This category is divided into three sections: 1) MEGA WEB BROWSERS includes the most popular, powerful and heavyweight browsers; 2) LIGHTWEIGHT WEB BROWSERS includes the browsers that provide the best performance with respect to memory and CPU consumption; and 3) OTHER BROWSERS includes browsers that haven't been discussed in the both categories above. For a full comparison of features of the various browsers, click here. Reviewing web browsers is different than reviewing other types of software categories because the choice of which browser is best is truly subjective and the browser updates are released with tremendous frequency. The major web browsers compared in this review are the most common used around the world. While some comparisons are necessary, each browser will really stand on its own merit and new features of the latest releases. As such, each browser will be reviewed based on major updates. The most popular of the major browsers are Google Chrome (Chrome), Internet Explorer (IE), Mozilla Firefox (Firefox), and Opera. Also entering contention this year is Maxthon. There is much debate regarding which one is the most popular at any given time. According to various surveys on the Internet Chrome and Firefox tend to lead the pack for the following reasons; 1) strong app support, 2) cross platform compatibility. Regarding performance the statistical difference between them is so minor, most users won't see a difference. Startup and performance is another subjective theme as it depends on the hardware, software and browser configuration for each user. Deciding which browser(s) to use depends on the need. The average user may be satisfied with IE or Opera. Power users may prefer Firefox, cloud oriented users may prefer Chrome or Maxthon. Some users may prefer to use multiple browsers, taking advantage of the unique features each has to offer. Due to modern advances and competitiveness, all of the major web browsers share similar, and what I would call, essential features. Examples of these features are; tabbed browsing, privacy browsing, password manager, download manager, searchable address bar, and cross application syncing. The individual browsers may use different names for their respective features but the functions are basically the same. The reviews will attempt to highlight the key elements of each browser to help you decide which browser may be best for you. Wiki Comparison of Web Browsers compares web browsers in essentially 11 categories. For a web browser to be classified as Mega, it must compare to IE, Chrome and Firefox in all 11 categories. |

For Chrome, why is requiring an internet connection to install a web browser a con?
I'm pretty sure if you're downloading a web browser, you have an internet connection. Technically, all of them require an internet connection AND a web browser to download, as does everything else on this site. Not to mention you need an internet connection and browser just to be viewing this page right now.
Opera DOES support add-ons.
Firefox should be listed as Open Source Freeware.
I use SRWare Iron, because I can easily copy/paste Fanboy's Adblock List into Iron by going to Programs, Iron Folder, Adblock. I cannot even find Chrome listed in Programs, so cannot add my favorite Adblock List...
@Anonymous on Sat, 03/20/2010 - 20:41: No offense, but how many of those widgets/addons are useful? Why would I want to know the weather or the clock or some kind of small game in my browser? Opera does not have the kind of addons like Firefox or Chrome (which is slowly catching up).
This thread gives a better idea:
It's a con because not everbody has a fast internet connection. Secondly, how do I easily install on more than one computer without downloading many times- with slow internet connection?? Viewing a page is so much different from multiple downloading.
For those who have slow internet connections, here is a link to a page that has a link to the offline installer of Google Chrome:
'...IE, Firefox, Safari get stomped at hacker contest'
"The problem Microsoft has is they have a big market share," said Vreugdenhil, the hacker who attacked IE. "I use Opera, but that's basically because it has a tiny market share and as far as I know, nobody is really interested in creating a drive-by download for Opera. The web at the moment is pretty scary, actually." ®
Does K-Meleon suffer from the same security vulnerabilities that Firefox does?
Firefox 3.6.3 released, which fixes a critical security vulnerability, that was exploited by Nils in the recently held Pwn2Own contest. All are advised to update to this latest version as soon as possible. The version fixes only this vulnerability. Details on our forum here :
nice quick response by mozilla! wonder if ms has released a patch for theirs yet, which is openly discussed in register link below!
Having issues with Firefox and Chrome - when dealing with images uploading to wordpress blog.
FF3.6 - will not upload jpegs. 3.5.9 fine
Chrome - uploads the jpegs but will not allow them to be resized.
Anyone got workrounds for these?
Not just quick but smooth too:)...All my addons are working, I faced no issues. Kudos to Mozilla! Here's wishing them good luck!
Too be honest, it should since it uses the same Gecko engine as Firefox.
However, it was not part of the pwn2win contest. I just checked the k meleon page and there seems to be no update as of now.....Please check in the forums.
K-Meleon is based on Gecko engine, but has been developed independently of Firefox, and so the source code is different. So, from that point of view, it should not suffer from the same vulnerabilities... but may have issues of its own. You should check on our forum where a member associated with K-Meleon has provided us with an extensive view of the browser, and how it differs from Firefox. Both are entirely different products, although they use the same engine.
I have the latest version of Firefox...it longer opens with tabs but instead opens with a new window.Any ideas on how to remedy this? Thanks
Go to Tools > Options > Tabs.
See if the option "Open new windows in a new tab instead" is checked or not. If it is not checked, check it.
Hi Anupam-Yes I tried this but still no tabs. I then uninstalled the Redirect Remover and Personas add ons thinking somehow that was the problem but no effect.
try ffox in its safe mode (if not already) and see what happens.
'Firefox plans fix for decade-old browsing history leak'
Might be worth noting that of the popular Firefox clones, Palemoon has updated to fix the latest security vulnerability in line with Firefox, but CometBird has not (unless I'm missing something?)
I have Been using firefox for some time and also been using google chrome sense it started I use one for a while then go to the other.they both have their neet factors and safety features. I do say even though i can't make up my mind at to witch one to keep it seems im using google chrome more lately it seem a bit less buggy. I do like that theirs more screen to view [maybe firefox will work on that] and that each tab is sandboxed [I hear firefox is working on that]Besides liking more screen to view google chrome plays videos a lot better which may be why i keep swithing back to chrome.Any how Im wrighting this in Google chrome. Wish i could have my cake and eat it to.
I've been messing around with Lunascape 6 for the past few days. It has some great features - Chrome, IE, and Firefox all rolled into one browser. You can select which platform you want to run the page on (Webkit, Trident, or Gecko). It also supports IE and Firefox addons. This might be a winner.
I've flirted on and off with this myself but can't settle with it. I find it quite complex for daily use, the themes are not too well made and despite making a direct contact with their devs, couldn't get a straight answer about the frequency of security fixes.
@ Anonymous on Fri, 04/16/2010 - 20:23: maybe this addon can help you?:
or you can simply press f11 for full screen:)
Regarding videos playing better in Google Chrome, I'm not so sure of that...It is a bit smooth, but Firefox or for that matter other browsers are fine! I cannot notice any huge differences. Maybe it's just me:)

Catch Them Before They Fall
Leaves crunch underfoot. The first whiffs of smoke drift from a far-off fireplace. Autumn has arrived in Colorado—and there's no better time to take a drive into the mountains. Here, four can't-miss routes covering nearly 250 miles of fall splendor.
The Million Dollar Highway
The Route: This out-and-back route follows the jaw-dropping Highway 550, aka Million Dollar Highway, north of Durango to Ouray with a potential side-trip to Silverton, 48 miles into your journey.
Total Miles: 70
Where to Eat: Sidle up to the bar at Carver Brewing Company (970-259-2545; www.carverbrewing.com) in Durango for a hearty home-style breakfast that'll fill your tank before jumping in the car (locals swear by the Super Scramble). In Silverton, lunching at the rustic Handlebars Restaurant & Saloon (970-387-5395)—where Rocky Mountain oysters coexist with award-winning buffalo chili—is a must. If libations are on your list, check out the Silverton Brewery (970-387-5033; www.silvertonbrewing.com), but be prepared for the effects of the 8.5 percent stout. "We don't make any weak, wimpy beers," says owner Joel Harvie. In Ouray, order up a rib-eye steak at The Outlaw Restaurant (970-325-4366; www.outlawrestaurant.com).
Where to Stay: Stretch out your legs (and your trip) with an overnight stay at the Wiesbaden Hot Springs Spa & Lodge (970-325-4347; www.wiesbadenhotsprings.com) in Ouray. Soak in the warmth of the outdoor pool (99 to 102 degrees), which affords stellar views of the surrounding peaks.
The Kids Will Love: Durango's P is for Peanut (970-385-4525; www.pisforpeanut.com) will sate your pint-size travelers with freshly ground peanut-butter-infused fare—from the classic PB&J to the Anything Goes, which pairs peanut butter with M&Ms, mini marshmallows, sunflower seeds, or raisins. Don't forget to grab a few nutty items for the car. Mouse's Chocolates (970-325-7285) in Ouray, a modern emporium chock-full of fresh, handmade Belgian chocolates, makes for a great end-of-day treat or a perfect spot to grab a cup of freshly roasted joe for the return trip.
Photo Op: Pull into the Molas Pass overlook (about 42 miles from Durango at 10,899 feet) for over-the-top views of the foliage surrounding Snowdon and Electric peaks, two of Colorado's more majestic and mind-blowing thirteeners.
Bonus: Cool off in Ouray with a short hike into the thunderous Box Canyon Falls (accessed at the west end of Third Avenue)—a 285-foot waterfall pouring into a narrow canyon.
Quick Tip: Fuel stations are few and far between; fill up in Durango before you go. If you're in a pinch, Needles Country Store, just before Durango Mountain Resort, has gas; another station sits at the opposite end of Ouray from where you'll enter town.

When you try to rename Documents and Settings User account using the Computer Management console or alternatively using the User Accounts applet, the desired user profile folder will not be renamed in Windows XP. However you may create something like a duplicate user profile that has a different name.
User profile folder renaming:
For renaming or moving the Documents and Settings User profile folder you can follow the method described below. This will explain in detail the method for renaming User account home directory. Although it is possible to rename or move the user profile folder, there is the possibility of side effects of using this method. The reason is a number of absolute path references in registry which are put there by third party software. So, for renaming Documents and Settings User there will possibly be the lack of correct functionality in the application in question.
It is important to take full backup before modifying the registry. You may want to use ERUNT for getting the complete registry backup. However you can use this registry editor at your own risk.
Renaming Documents and Settings User profile using Windows Explorer:
1. Logon to one of the admin accounts. Open Documents and Settings folder from the "Start" and Run the dialog: %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings.
2. A list of different folders will appear. Choose the corresponding folder to the user account you need to rename. For example,
%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\OldUsername
will become
%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\NewUsername
3. Now to rename the Documents and Settings User profile, inform the system that the user profile path has been changed.
The ProfileImagePath value in registry:
ProfileList registry key has some sub-keys, which are just a list of the User Account Security Identifiers (SID). Each account is represented by each SID. And the key is placed at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ ProfileList

When black people like Drs. Sowell and Carson, Mia Love, Star Parker and increasing numbers of others stand on their own two feet with their own well reasoned beliefs, I know there is hope for our country. I believe it takes a lot bravery for a black to be a conservative, but there's more and more of them speaking out about the outrage of the system keeping so many enslaved and dependent on government handouts. For a lousy vote.
Dear Elisabeth,
Please also note that hopey is not a word, Hussein should have been capitalized, there was a distinct lack of punctuation, and out-of-control should have been hyphenated. Now that you too have been corrected I hope you'll see how ridiculous you are. The only time I would (normally) correct someone's spelling and grammar is right after they told me how smart and educated they were while trying to win an argument. Tuttlecoma - please carry on.
Whoever you are, do some research. I don't personally care what she's DONE but to claim she was in politics before DH is way wrong. She played a crazy man-stealing tramp on the Young and the Restless for a few years. Not really acting in that she just played herself. I am a woman, a minority and I'm voting for Romney.
Predictable, but sad

RFID research: An academic literature review (1995-2005) and future research directions
Academic research into radio frequency identification (RFID) has proliferated significantly over the last few years, to the point where journals (Production and Operations Management, International Journal of Production Economics, IEEE Systems Journal, and IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering) are producing special issues on the topic. In this paper, we present a literature review of 85 academic journal papers that were published on the subject between 1995 and 2005. We organize these studies into four main categories: technological issues, applications areas, policy and security issues, and other issues. All of the papers in the review are allocated to the main and sub-categories based on their main focus. Our analysis of these papers provides useful insights on the anatomy of the RFID literature, and should aid the creation and accumulation of knowledge in this domain. A comprehensive list of references is also presented. It is hoped that the review will be a good resource for anyone who is interested in RFID research, and will help to stimulate further interest in this area. The implications for RFID researchers and practitioners and suggestions for future research areas are discussed.Download Info

To me it sounds like the original poster was serving up a page soliciting E-Mail addresses. Seems like E-Mail farming. Voila Google requested more specifics in the form of more content and also contact addresses, so customers could make an informed decision. In other words Google wanted customers to know what they were getting involved in. How trustable was the Ad and did it have the earmarks of a legitimate business. Basically was the ad soliciting for unknown purposes. I draw my conclusions from what the original poster stated. > 1. I wrote down how I was using and storing cookies. 2. I wrote how I was using and storing users email address. ie what they could expect to receive, and that I was using a third party autoresponder (so I also linked to their terms of service) 3. I wrote down how they could remove their email address from our database both manually and automatically.
Without seeing the actual specifics it's hard to judge fairly.

Posted: 7:15 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 28, 2012
By Torie Wells
The Kershaw County coroner confirmed Monday that the bodies found in a car pulled from Lake Wateree are the two Catawba County teens who had been missing.
Sheriff's deputies said the car Jake Ziegler and Ray Pierce were driving to Myrtle Beach was pulled from the lake off Interstate 20 in Kershaw County Sunday afternoon.
The two teens disappeared two weeks ago when they told friends they were headed to the beach.
The spirit rock at Bandys High School, where the teens were students, is painted to read, "We love J and R." The principal said the messages of support on the rock have multiplied over the past two weeks.
The ROTC lowered the flags Monday morning for the two teens. When students arrived, the principal made an announcement for a moment of silence. He let them know counselors would be on hand as long as they were needed, and that posters would be available for students to leave messages for Ziegler's and Pierce's families.
Principal Timothy Woody said he's confident the school community will come together during the tough time, and hopes the tragedy reminds students to cherish one another.
"The thing about it is to remember to reflect and embrace each other, because none of us are guaranteed a tomorrow," Woody said. "I think high school kids think they are invincible to a multitude of things. I think it's times like this that ground us back to reality and understanding we aren't promised tomorrow."
He said students approached him Monday morning, wanting to organize a candlelight memorial for the teens.
The coroner said both teens' cause of death was drowning.

It's your body chemistry.
maybe you just enjoy the company and being a little relaxed.
You probably have a high tolerance. Be careful and be grateful.
high tolerance, and if you work with solvents, like if you're a painter--then your body has enough enzymes to metabolize it at a faster rate
First and most importatnt, noone can FORCE you to "drink a lot" be careful with that. A lot of young people who don't feel the way they think they should fel when they drink or drug keep inreasing the intake until they DO feel it and that is often the beginning of an addiction. I agree with puck61. Be careful and be grateful.
We all have a different tolerance level
Having the experience of drinking just means you are probably used to the taste.
It might also be a matter of what kind of alcohol is best suited for you :S
I to have the same problem. I also have a high tolirance to pain medicine which i take for chronic pain in my back caused by a birth defect and degenerative disk disease. But i have never gotten any kind of high from it at all. Also i have to take twice the amount as normal people because of the high tolorance. When i was in the hospital for my back they gave me morphine and i continued to need more. The nurse and doctors were amazed.
The one nurse even said that and i quote " you should be a drooling bag of kittens now" but no the pain continued.
I would gladly go through any tests theyd like. As i am used to being poked and prodded.
Only i doubt there is a test for such a thing.
All i have to say is it seriously sucks having a severe chronic pain and not ae to find anything that works.
Sorry for spelling been up for 3 days back dosent let me sleep. And im also on my phone.
I found this post, because I was searching to see if anyone else was experiencing what I am. I rarely drink. Rarely = 1-3 drinks per event, 3-4 events per year. Recently, I got an urge to have a pina colada. I had one huge drink with about 3 times the recommended alcohol amount in it. Nothing. I just felt really full and bloated. I don't know what is going on. I took Chantix years ago for quitting smoking, and I wonder if that had something to do with it.
well is it very kind of you to drink with our friends , when you really dont drink and if there is nothing there for you , stop, tell you pals
and if they love you and are your friends, they dont want you to drink for no reason, some people feel so fine without the alka.
i am 813 years old,, drinking and smoking cigarettes is the the hardest thing to quit,, if they are you friends , they dont want you to drink or smoke,, i can quit, the most wonderfull substances i have ever known, but stupidly, cigarettes and drinking if you dont like it is the hardest thing to stop , only because you think your good friends expect that of you,,,,,,,,
Because your body can mobilize the amount of sugar and insulin your body is producing, while breaking down the stimulant in your system. Which means in layman terms. "You have a high tolerance to drinking heavily" Go clean for 40 days, then try it again. I guarantee 4 oz. will put you on your ***.
I'm also a little confused about the topic, I can drink for more than 6-12 hours straight, even when I rarely drink. I'll go through 24 beers, Whiskey, Vodka etc, I don't get drunk, I may become physically intoxicated, but my mental state doesn't change, and no I'm not joking or believe something not true, i've been to the doctor about it also, they agree somethings wrong, but can't figure out why alcohol doesn't cause me anything but physical intoxication and still I need to drink enough to make most people pass out and still i'm fine...I want to enjoy a drink here and there, but unable to feel how others do... :( makes me a little sad i'm unable to be honest
No matter how much I drink..I do not get drunk. If I try really hard ...all that I get is a buzz of few minutes that too doesn't give enough pleasure coz I know it;s not gonna last long. I hate it..it's waste of money, time and energy.
Well same here i can say it's not a tale cus i have the same issue dnt drink everyday bt whn i do i get buzzed then it goes away fast i keep drinking and want feel anything i thought it was my nerves or stress
i have somewhat of a similar problem too, i am not a drinker and seldom drink. I can't seems to get high, no matter how much i drink. I get red easily after 1 glass of beer, soon after i get itchy all over, feel warm at first then i get so cold that i shivering for quite some time. Yes i have vomited before because of motion sickness, but was still sober enough to walk straight and bring my drunk friends home. Yes some of these are symptoms of being drunk, but i could never get high and crazy. I end up being the one making sure everyone make it back safe. Another symptom i have is my hands get a little puffy and swollen, I think i may be allergic to alcohol.
Sounds like your allergic, or your skin's allergic as alcohol comes out of your sweat glands etc. I'm also slightly allergic, but i lose total feeling or extremely numbed sensations after just a sip, yet I can drink as much as i'd like..
I started drinking when I was 14 but now I'm in my thirties and alcohol doesn't seem to have the same effect as when I was younger. I even tried stopping for a while but no change when I do drink which may be once a month. We all adapt different to or habits good or bad.
may I ask, what affect does it have? and if little, why still drink? unless socially with friends.
my problem too , I drink like 0,5 liter of Vodka and I feel nothing NOTHING ,it's just drive me crazy ! I don't know what to drink to get drunk .
I have a high tolerance. Finished 1 Litre yesterday, even mixed spirits - had some whisky then few glasses of vodka then whisky but did not get too high unlike my friends who were dancing like mad and then they passed out. I was simply buzzed, that too by the end of the session only.
I'm 5 feet and 110 pounds. A girl! But I can drink a lot and be sober.
In the long run, this will damage my liver. So I drink heavy only once a month or two nowadays. Rest of the time I don't drink at all, whats the point of having those calories if u don't enjoy!
This has just Started happening to me in the last year. Well maybe after i had my son . He will be 2 next month. I used to get a buzz but never wasted. But the last 6 times I drank I think ok Im starting to feel it and it goes away.I dont drink much at all maybe once a month or every other. When my kids stay the night with grandma and grandpa it would be nice to have people over and catch a buzz but it goes right away:(. It wasnt like this before so i wonder what had changed
Last night I drank and after 8 shots of captain Morgan, I had not drank in 7 months. And have followed that same pattern for my entire adult life. Nothing happen. It was like i drank water. I am 5'9 190 lbs. Felt like captain america. To fast of a matabolism.

Oh dear, what a place, whales and aromatic seals! You really had a marvelous time there, despite a few raindrops and involuntary diving.
My friend from work went out to Oz to see an ex work mate last month they too went whale watching she says it was truly awesome, would love to see it myself someday. Lucky you
So you stayed in Narooma. Smashing pages!!!!!

Report: Microsoft readying iPod rival, music service
Microsoft is said to be readying a handehld device and music service to compete with the iPod and iTunes Music Store. Following similar claims earlier this year, Reuters reports that the software giant has been privately demonstrating an entertainment device that plays videos and music. Microsoft has also reportedly held discussions with the music industry about licensing music for its own download service. A BusinessWeek report in January said Microsoft was "mulling its own digital device that adds gaming to music and video, in an effort to compete with Apple's iPod empire." The company was said to have reorganized its home entertainment and Xbox groups to better plan the device. In March, the Mercury News also reported that Microsoft was planning such a device.

Apple surely isn't worried about competition from a company that to date hasn't produced anything that isn't a complete P.O.S. The only thing MS has shown us it is capable of doing is making poor copies of other's work. No wonder Bill is deserting something that amounts to nothing more than a corporate stain.

Good luck Microsoft. You don't stand a chance.

Here we go again. Give it UP already!
Posted by ahMEmon on June 16, 2006 at 7:34 AM (PST)
Give what up exactly?
Do you mean the baseless speculation of the rumour rags? Or are you actually of the opinion that Microsoft ever did more than fire a shot across the bow in this market.
Microsoft has yet to bring a hardware product to the market and, while not as successful as iTunes, their WMA-DRM technologies are widely used and much more successful than Macs as a percentage of the market.
Until they do bring an actual product to market, it can hardly be said they've failed against the iPod (and until they actually confirm these stories, nothing substantive can be said at all).

"I see you're still dishing out the blather, Code Monkey. Well, at least you're consistent."
Consistent? I keep my head grounded in empirical facts and base my conclusions off of those.
Everybody on the Apple/Mac side of the fence wants to imagine there's been this huge battle, and the truth is that although you can go pull out all your headlines again, there hasn't been so much as a scuffle. Lots and lots of hyperbolic headlines grounded in nothing, but no actual competition.

honestly, i hope microsoft's new device kicks ### so that apple can have a competent competetor. I love my ipod, but it ain't perfect
Posted by QWER on June 16, 2006 at 12:08 PM (PST)
Good luck with that Microsoft. Good luck to any company that thinks it's going to beat the iPod.
Posted by joe on June 16, 2006 at 12:58 PM (PST)
Well one thing is, MS has deserted their partners. Again. Remember Dreamcast powered by Windows CE?
So Creative, iRiver, etc. which use Windows DRM now find their software supplier is now a competitor.
They just launched Urge like last month and now their service is going to emphasize downloads instead of subscriptions. Hey MTV, your partner MS is coming out with a new music store to compete with Urge.
Well this new player and service is being developed under the leadership of Robbie Bach. MS has shown they're willing to lose billions to get into a market with a very successful competitor.
Good thing they have Windows and Office.
Posted by wco81 in West Coast on June 16, 2006 at 3:31 PM (PST)
QWER has the correct attitude. Apple will continue to innovate only as long as active competitors exist. Say what you will, MS's entry into the music service/device market would only help the consumer including IPOD owners.
Posted by Tbsteph on June 16, 2006 at 3:33 PM (PST)
While competition definitely spurs on technology, Apple has already proven that they're ready to innovate regardless.
The iPod Nano replaced the iPod Mini while the Mini was still at the top of its game. Apple could have easily rested on their laurels for a while, but they didn't. Moreso than most companies, Apple pushes itself to high standards.
Having said that, I'm all for quality competition. Provided Microsoft doesn't doom itself by making the same mistakes that every other laughable iPod Killer has made. ("More features must make it better!")
Posted by BJ Nemeth on June 16, 2006 at 4:18 PM (PST)
Give WHAT up you ask?
How often do we hear of the next iPod killer? Like at least once every week? How many have successfully taken on the iPod and won? Or at least made enough of an impression?
(crickets chirping)
Now I am all for competition, because as good as the iPod is, it's NOT the best it could be. I would dump my iPod in a heartbeat if there was something else offered by someone else that could match the whole iTunes/iPod experience.
Now, how many other DAPs can make this claim?
(more crickets chirping)
So I guess I'll be sticking with my iPod for quite some time then, eh?
Posted by ahMEmon on June 16, 2006 at 4:49 PM (PST)
Everyone laughed at MS when they ventured into video gaming. Sega laughed, Nintendo laughed and Sony laughed. Now MS is laughing as both Sega and Nintendo are dying and the giants are now Xbox and Playstation. Whether you like MS or not, they have very deep pockets and the time and energy to slowly takeover another industry.
Posted by Chris J on June 16, 2006 at 5:45 PM (PST)
Chris J: Sega is doing fine…they don't make Hardware anymore….Nintendo dying? They're about to stage a comeback with the Wii, and the DS is doing very well (See stock price: http://www.adrbny.com/dr_profile.jsp?cusip=654445303).
Now granted, XBOX came in and basically caused the market to upchuck. But look at the 360. Innovative? No. Cool Games? Not really (Halo 3?? Still not out, and why can't we move on???). It's not dead in the water by any means, but it certainly isn't the blockbuster MS wants it to be.
I agree with your point that MS could spend a LOT of money and possibly bring a good product to market. But they said they would do this three years ago, too…I'll believe it when I see it…
Posted by Cameron T. on June 16, 2006 at 8:15 PM (PST)
Um… SEGA was one of the first companies to even dedicate some serious developement into Xbox games. Panzer Dragoon Orta? Jet Set Radio Future? Among others, Xbox seemed to get the best SEGA games on it.
Someones been drinking a little too much kool aid.

Summer vacation may be a highlight of warm-weather months, but the hours spent driving or sitting on a plane are rarely glamorous ones. So indulge yourself once you arrive at your final destination by pampering and restoring your well-being with everything from skincare kits to beauty essentials. (View a slideshow [2] of our favorite summer travel goodies.)
This month sees the launch of the Shops at Target concept with Aspen's own Cos Bar as one of the specialty boutiques. Pick up a travel essential from owner Lily Garfield's exclusive new collection (pictured); we recommend the conveniently packaged face wipes, available in blueberry white tea, cucumber melon, or orange citrus. $5, all Target stores and target.com [3]
Molton Brown's Travellers kits include cult body care classics like Re-Charge Black Pepper Bodywash for him and Instant Indian Cress Hair Conditioner for her. Men's, women's and frequent (unisex) Traveller kits, $55, moltonbrown.com [4]
With its enormous selection of travel-size products, Kiehl's is a goldmine for plane-friendly goodies, and the travel-savvy crew can stock up on their favorite minis all year long. Girls and guys can choose from skincare stars like Ultra Facial Cleanser, Crème de Corps body lotion, and White Eagle Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream for men. Ultra Facial Cleanser, 2.5 oz., $9, Cherry Creek Shopping Center, 3000 E. First Ave., 303-377-3900, kiehls.com [5]
Moroccan Argan oil has become a favorite of the beauty world for its high levels of vitamin E and essential fatty acids. We like Kahina Giving Beauty's version because it's 100 percent organic, supports Berber women's cooperatives, and is the ultimate multitasker: use it as a moisturizer, pour into your bath, use as body oil, or even apply it to your hair to reduce frizz and restore shine. $36 to $82, kahina-givingbeauty.com [6]
Another multitasker that travels well is Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouge—a creamy formula that can be applied to cheeks and lips. Available this spring in four new hues, women of all complexions can hit the road with their favorite shade. $24, Bobbi Brown counters and bobbibrowncosmetics.com [7]
I love traveling with candles, as the air in hotel rooms is usually tinged with the scent of chemical cleaners or is just plain stale. Pick up one—or all three—new scents from Votivo Candles (Seablue Sky, Smoke on the Water, or White Ocean Sands) and stash them in the empty corners of your suitcase. $10 each, everythingbutwater.com [8]

The endodermis and shoot gravitropism
Trends in Plant Science, Volume 4, Issue 3, 1 March 1999, Pages 103-107
Masao Tasaka, Takehide Kato and Hidehiro Fukaki
AbstractShoots and roots of higher plants exhibit negative and positive gravitropism, respectively. A variety of gravitropic mutants have recently been isolated from Arabidopsis, the characterization of which demonstrates that the molecular mechanisms of the gravitropic responses in roots, hypocotyls and inflorescence stems are different. The cytological and molecular analysis of two mutants, shoot gravitropism 1 (sgr1), which is allelic to scarecrow (scr), and sgr7, which is allelic to short-root (shr), indicate that the endodermis is the site of gravity perception in shoots. These data suggest a new model for shoot gravitropism.

Root gravitropism: a complex response to a simple stimulus?
Trends in Plant Science, Volume 4, Issue 10, 1 October 1999, Pages 407-412
Elizabeth Rosen, Rujin Chen and Patrick H Masson
AbstractRoots avoid depleting their immediate environment of essential nutrients by continuous growth. Root growth is directed by environmental cues, including gravity. Gravity sensing occurs mainly in the columella cells of the root cap. Upon reorientation within the gravity field, the root-cap amyloplasts sediment, generating a physiological signal that promotes the development of a curvature at the root elongation zones. Recent molecular genetic studies in Arabidopsis have allowed the identification of genes that play important roles in root gravitropism. Among them, the ARG1 gene encodes a DnaJ-like protein involved in gravity signal transduction, whereas the AUX1 and AGR1 genes encode proteins involved in polar auxin transport. These studies have important implications for understanding the intra- and inter-cellular signaling processes that underlie root gravitropism.

Trends in Plant Science, Volume 10, Issue 1, 1 January 2005, Pages 44-50
Delfeena Eapen, María L. Barroso, Georgina Ponce, María E. Campos and Gladys I. Cassab
AbstractThe survival of terrestrial plants depends upon the capacity of roots to obtain water and nutrients from the soil. Directed growth of roots in relation to a gradient in moisture is called hydrotropism and begins in the root cap with the sensing of the moisture gradient. Even though the lack of sufficient water is the single-most important factor affecting world agriculture, there are surprisingly few studies on hydrotropism. Recent genetic analysis of hydrotropism in Arabidopsis has provided new insights about the mechanisms that the root cap uses to perceive and respond simultaneously to moisture and gravity signals. This knowledge might enable us to understand how the root cap processes environmental signals that are capable of regulating whole plant growth.

Add/View Comments (0)Touch sensitivity in plants: be aware or beware
A recent paper shows that touch sensing and gravity sensing interact to guide roots around obstacles. Upon encountering an object, the touch stimulus induces curvature behind the root tip and partially suppresses the gravity response, enabling the root to navigate around the obstacle while maintaining contact with it. These findings raise questions regarding the nature of touch sensing in roots, the location of the sensors, and the manner in which these sensory systems interact to accomplish obstacle avoidance.

Roller Blinds Fascia - Solar Screen ShadesQ: I am considering ordering the solar screen shades. If I order it with a fascia, is the bottom edge of the blind hidden behind the fascia--or is it still visible when rolled to the top.A: Depending on the solar screen roller shades that you order it can be either hidden or the bottom rail will be visible by about 2 or 3 inches. Roller shades come with beaded chains lift cords. Each lift cord has a lock or a stop to keep the blinds from rolling open too far and closing too tightly. For specific information please contact one of our customer service representatives and we can assist you with any questions.We also offer different bottom bars with our roller blinds. Some have a heat sealed pocket around a metal bar. The metal bar is for weight to keep the shade tight an the bottom in place. Another option is a fabric wrapped bottom rail.

Ford's Mulally Can Go Out on Top, Like Delta's Grinstein
At United (UAL), Glen Tilton presided over a successful bankruptcy and a 2010 merger with Continental. He served as CEO from 2002 to 2010 and is now chairman.
Like Mulally, Tilton left a 30-year career in one industry to lead a turnaround in another. He put in 30 years at Texaco. Unlike Mulally, Tilton was not popular with employees and didn't embrace reporters.
However, Tilton clearly succeeded in his assignment, and he was well compensated for that. An example is his departure package, valued at $16.8 million, including a $2.7 million discretionary bonus. About a third of the package was in stock, not yet vested, that has declined in value by about $1 million.
At American parent AMR (AMR), a six-year CEO left last month as the carrier entered bankruptcy.
Gerard Arpey distinguished himself as a moral man. He opposed bankruptcy on moral grounds. But by retiring, even after the board asked him to stay, he forfeited any shot at a severance package or long-term incentives. But American still requires a turnaround. And ironically, although Arpey sought to avoid bankruptcy in which employee salaries and benefits are bound to be reduced, many employees were not fond of him. For proof, just check the comments on this story, written the day AMR filed for bankruptcy and Arpey retired. Of the three paths, the one paved by Grinstein appears closest to the one traveled by Mulally. That path has idolization at the end of it. But it is worth remembering that corporation's lives, like people's lives, have ups and downs. Mulally's final corporate decision -- regarding the timing of his departure -- could be among his most important. -- Written by Ted Reed in Charlotte, N.C. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Ted ReedSelect the service that is right for you!
