Video games given full First Amendment protection
The U.S. Supreme Court today reaffirmed the principle that the First Amendment protects free speech in the digital age, rejecting a 2005 California law that severely restricted the sale of "violent" video games to minors.
The statute had been blocked from taking effect by lower court rulings in suits brought by industry representatives. Following today's decision by a 7-2 majority of the court (PDF), the law is now a dead letter.
The decision was highly anticipated, and the result entirely expected.
The decision in Brown v. EMA is the second in as many weeks from the … Read more

PHENOMENALPros: At this price and the trust of a very long term relationship with NEWEGG....A SURE THING...AND IT IS!!...Very easy set up and fast Google Play downloads Download Chrome!! Cons: Browser...be sure to download Google Chrome.. Other Thoughts: Very fast...very smoth...NETFLIX flawlessly....just get the app. Did you find this review helpful? |
More like 3 hour battery lifePros: Light weight, Easy to use Cons: The battery has last 3 hours a day in the two days I have used it. That is with a wifi connection to type in google doc, and nothing else. I am tempted to contact support because the battery performs so poorly. Did you find this review helpful? |
new best frindPros: it works it cheep it works Cons: the only draw back is sound is week but i use head set problem solved Other Thoughts: i got this for $99.99 free shipping worth eery dime Did you find this review helpful? |
Avatar netbookPros: Plays Gopro 1080p files from camera, will mount usb sticks and drives. Its plastic but it is a good deal at 99 bucks. Cons: Can be slow, do not expect Nexus 7, ipad, or even atom netbook speeds. It can be a music streamer but Poweramp the best android player will not work, Mortplayer did see the USB stick. Apps crash if pushed, typing speed is only moderate, track pad is ok but kind of bleh. Speakers of course are not good. Other Thoughts: I rate it 5 stars for 99 bucks, for all the tweaks and settings you can use, ability to mount and unmounts usb drives, the good screen, ok keyboard, sound out is good quality, and for me a fanless cheap device to play Gopro videos to review outdoors. No fan to suck in salt air. Check mail, look at pics, off a camera, and it is slow, but I do not want to take an expensive device into some situations. Just enough to get it done. Its better than the worst reviews and a lot of the frustration is with androids fragmented incontinence with apps due to lack of virtual memory, and a a mix of processors, and the myriad apps you simply have to try to find out what works....its got marginal power to run some apps. It can stream video, and music with the right apps. Did you find this review helpful? |
Bad first impressionsPros: Cheap. Superb customer service. Cons: Know what you are getting into and you will not be dissapointed. The thing is a little slow. Other Thoughts: Ok, so when I first got this thing, it was really neat. I got it because it was cheap and I knew that if it had been a real piece, then I could still salvage alot of the parts from this thing. What I was not expecting was that it is not as bad as some of the other $100 tablets I had previously purchased. First off, it does have the Google Play Store, and yes, you can download legitimate apps from it like you would any other tablets. Though, I cannot vouche for how some of them handle a mouse interface when they are designed for a touch screen. Did you find this review helpful? |
Not Satisfied!Pros: Big screen, bigger keyboard than most netbooks. Cons: This machine is horrible, the android OS isn't very compatible with the interface at all. I open the browser application and it crashes the system. I download opera mini for tablets it doesn't support most of the regular websites. I bought this device for my mother to check her email, bank accounts, and pay stubs without hassle and its been nothing but hassle since I opened this to set this up for her. Other Thoughts: If you're looking into a small computer for someone who is computer illiterate do not buy this machine. Did you find this review helpful? |
nice little netbookPros: Computer is easy to use, ultraportable, and doesn't cost much. Cons: Processing power is severely lacking, playing hd content is iffy. Forget about trying to multitask. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
I was wary but best "Toy" in ages.Pros: A portable Android device with a real keyboard and 13.3 inch screen IMHO better than a tablet. Cons: The device sometimes seems cpu constrained but I usually found the "sluggishness" was due to the App or Wifi connection. Not the best wireless connections. Although I always managed to connect. Some apps do not handle the real keyboard very well. It is not a problem just find another app. Other Thoughts: I paid $100. For me it is a very cost effective, light, small, portable dumb terminal with email and web browsing. I use it to ssh and vpn into work and use RDP and VNC to control the remote work PCs. (VxConnectBot and AndroidVNC rule). 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Don't pay over $100Pros: Nice big screen. No junk apps. Battery lasts long time. Cons: Wifi adapter has poor reception. No mouse included. Can't access google play. Difficult to move around screen. Very slow compare to Atom based netbook. Other Thoughts: Got it for $100. Have to be very close to router to get wifi signal. Good for checking emails and surfing the net. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Cheap JunkPros: Cheap, good screen resolution for the size, decent battery life, USB and SD slots. Cons: -Wireless will often not connect for seemingly no reason Other Thoughts: Bought it because I figured for the price it'd be something nice to tinker around with, and act as a wireless monitor using iDisplay app. However, it's mostly useless and I would have been better off just buying a USB monitor. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Twissandra is a project that provides similar functionality to Twitter.
Because it is beneficial to consider all the use cases for your data before you structure how it will be stored, the actions Twissandra needs to perform are listed here first.
The common actions to be supported are:
Here, a "friend" is somebody that a user follows.
Twissandra uses seven different column families to minimize the number of reads or inserts that need to be made for each type of action. The column families are:
Adding and requires two sets of writes: one to update the user's row in FRIENDS, and one set of writes to update FOLLOWERS for each of the friends added.
Getting a slice of a user's tweets (such as the last 20 tweets) requires at least two queries, three if we want to attach a user record to each tweet:
- Collecting the usernames from all of the tweets
- Calling multiget() on USER with the usernames as the keys
In USERLINE, the special PUBLIC_USERLINE_KEY is used to hold a timeline of all tweets. Obviously, on a Twitter-like scale, holding all tweets in a single row will eventually cause problems. This can easily be fixed by splitting the public userline row by day or hour, for example, but since this is an educational example, this has not been done.
Other than that, getting a slice of all tweets is performed exactly the same as for a single user, except the PUBLIC_USERLINE_KEY is used instead of a username.
To add a tweet, we have to do the following:

- Did you bring your new puppy home with puppy worms?
- before birth: hormonal changes in pregnancy can activate worm larvae that had been dormant in the mother's tissue for a long period of time. These larvae subsequently migrate through the placenta to infect the unborn puppies. They can also migrate to the mammary glands and infect nursing puppies;
- through their mother's milk;
- from the environment, after they are born.
- How do worms in puppies affect their health?
- dull haircoat
- bloated, round belly
- pale gums and anemia
- licking around the anus or dragging the bottom on the ground ("scooting")
- crying when picked up
- diarrhea, blood or mucous in the stool, and vomiting
- weight loss or failure to thrive
- lethargy
- worm segments around the anal area (may look like grains of rice)
- worms in puppy stool or vomit
- coughing (if worms have migrated to the lungs)
- How to protect your puppy against canine intestinal worms
- Pick up and dispose of feces immediately, before worm eggs and larvae have a chance to contaminate the environment.
- Don't let your puppy eat feces.
- Keep your puppy on a leash, and learn to identify potentially contaminated areas (parks, kennels, "puppy kindergarten" – anywhere dogs congregate).
- Get your puppy off to a good start
- at 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks of age.
- once a month until the age of 6 months (recommended by some dog health experts)
- at least every 6 months after the age of 6 months
- What to look for in a puppy wormer product
- Safe for puppies and for worming pregnant dogs of all breeds, with no known interactions with other drugs
- Highly effective against the major intestinal worms that infect puppies and adult dogs
- Easy to administer at home
Life with a new puppy is anything but dull. There's so much to think about, from what to name and feed your puppy, to housebreaking and vaccination.
And then, there's the subject no one wants to think about but can't afford to ignore... there's a good chance your new puppy has worms.
ALL puppies have intestinal worms – or at least, canine intestinal worms are so common in puppies that it's probably safer to assume your puppy has worms, and that you should act accordingly – safely deworm the puppy.
Worms in puppies - how do puppies get infected?
Young puppies are often born with intestinal worms transmitted to them...
Young puppies are often not taken to the veterinarian before they are 6 to 8 weeks of age, and because there's such a high rate of worms in puppies, they may already be actively contaminating the environment.
FACT: In 1996, a survey was conducted using stool samples from puppies, collected across the U.S. Results suggested that more than 30% of dogs under 6 months of age were shedding Toxocara canis (canine roundworm) eggs. Other studies have shown that virtually all puppies are born infected with Toxocara canis. (As reported by the Companion Animal Parasite Council.)
This is an important concern – especially since some canine intestinal worms can also infect humans through what is known as "zoonotic disease".
The following are the most common symptoms of worms in puppies:
In severe cases, canine intestinal worm infections can even be fatal to young puppies
While all this talk about worms in puppies may be a little worrisome, don't let it take away from your enjoyment of your new puppy!
Controlling intestinal worms is easier than you may think. It's a matter of knowing what you're up against, and what to do to get the upper hand. Here are a few suggestions:
As soon as your new puppy joins your household, take him to the veterinarian for a complete check up and vaccination.
It's a good idea to bring a stool sample with you so the veterinarian can test it for evidence of canine parasites and determine your dog's worm burden.
Start your puppy on a regular puppy wormer program, using an age-appropriate broad-spectrum dog dewormer that is effective against the major types of worms in puppies, according to the following schedule:
Make sure the puppy wormer you choose meets the following criteria:
Safe-Guard® (fenbendazole) Canine Dewormer fits the bill. As an added convenience, it is available without a prescription at many pet, feed and hunting retail outlets, as well as online.

Synopsys, Inc., an American company, is the leading company by sales in the Electronic Design Automation industry.[3] Synopsys' first and best-known product is Design Compiler, a logic-synthesis tool. Synopsys offers a wide range of other products used in the design of an application-specific integrated circuit. Products include logic synthesis, behavioral synthesis, place and route, static timing analysis, formal verification, HDL (SystemC, SystemVerilog/Verilog, VHDL) simulators as well as transistor-level circuit simulation. The simulators include development and debugging environments which assist in the design of the logic for chips and computer systems.
The company was founded in 1986 by Dr. Aart J. de Geus, David Gregory and a team of engineers from General Electric's Microelectronics Center in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. First established as Optimal Solutions, Synopsys was chartered to develop and market the synthesis technology developed by the team at General Electric. Synopsys proceeded to pioneer the commercial application of logic synthesis.
The company has more than 60 sales, support and R&D offices worldwide in North America, Europe, Japan, the Pacific Rim, India, Israel, Chile and Armenia.
Synopsys' major competitors are Cadence Design Systems and Mentor Graphics.
Acquisitions, mergers, spinoffs[edit]
- 1994: acquired Cadis, Aachen, Germany. Through this acquisition Synopsys got the communication systems and DSP design tool suit named COSSAP. COSSAP stood for Communication System Simulation and Application Processor. Synopsys carried out various communication (predominantly wireless modems) design and consulting activities using this tool (and later the evolved new tool Co-centric System Studio). The Cadis group was a spin off development initiative from Institute for Integrated Signal Processing Systems (ISS), RWTH Aachen, spearheaded by Professor Heinrich Meyr[4] and Professor Gerd Ascheid.[5] COSSAP was a competing product to SPW[6] from Cadence (now maintained and enhanced by Coware).[7] Synopsys stopped support on COSSAP since 2003 and is now promoting the enhanced tool Cocentric System Studio.
- 1997: acquired EPIC Design Technology Inc., USA
- 1997: acquired Viewlogic Systems, Inc., USA
- 1998: acquired Systems Science, Inc.
- June 6, 2002: merger with Avanti Corporation, USA. Avanti was founded when several ex-Cadence employees bought the startup ArcSys, which had previously merged with ISS, gaining Avanti its DRC/LVC tool Hercules (including 3D silicon structure modeling), then bought Compass Design Automation, which had fully integrated IC Design Flow and ASIC Libraries, especially its place and route tool, which Avanti reworked to create Saturn and Apollo II; and it also bought TMA which brought their pioneering TCAD and Proteus Optical proximity correction tools. This was, by far, Synopsys' most significant and controversial acquisition. At the time Avanti was the #4 company in the EDA industry, and was struggling with a major lawsuit from Cadence for software theft.[8] The criminal case had just concluded, with Avanti executives pleading no contest to trade-secret theft, conspiracy to commit trade-secret theft, receiving stolen property, and securities fraud, and several receiving jail time. To acquire Avanti, Synopsys paid about $55 million in golden handshake payments to these same executives. Synopsys then paid an additional $265 million to Cadence to settle the remaining civil suit and $26.1 million to Silvaco to settle two of three Silvaco's suits against Meta Software and its President filed in 1995 and inherited by Avanti.[9]
- September 12, 2002: acquired Co-Design Automation, Inc. USA. Co-Design pioneered the Superlog language, a superset of the popular Verilog hardware description language, extending its capabilities into verification and system design. Superlog formed the basis of The SystemVerilog language standardized by Accelera in 2003.
- September 20, 2002: acquired inSilicon Inc., USA
- March 3, 2003: acquired Numerical Technologies, Inc. USA, a pioneer in design for manufacturing software which included CATS mask fracturing. Synopsys paid about $250 million in cash.

Horace Mann biography
Education reformer Horace Mann was born on May 4, 1796 in Franklin, Massachusetts. Mann served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives and Senate before his appointment as the Massachusetts secretary of education. Mann went on to the U.S. House of Representatives, promoting an agenda of public education and "normal schools" to train teachers.
Early Years
Horace Mann was born into poverty in Franklin, Massachusetts, in 1796. Chiefly self-taught, Mann was 20 years old when he was admitted to the sophomore class at Brown University.
There he took an interest in politics, education and social reform, and upon graduation he gave a speech on the advancement of the human race through which education, philanthropy, and republicanism could combine to benefit mankind.
Professional Life
After Brown, Mann practiced law before winning a seat in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, where he served from 1827 to 1833. From 1835 to 1837, he served in the Massachusetts Senate, spending time as the majority leader and aiming his sights at infrastructure improvements via the construction of railroads and canals, among other projects.
The Educational Reform Movement Begins
While Mann served in the Senate, the Massachusetts education system, with a history going back to 1647, was suffering, and the quality of education was deteriorating. Soon a vigorous reform movement arose, and in 1837 the state created the nation's first board of education, with Mann as its secretary.
With funds for the board's activities at a minimum, the position required more moral leadership than anything else, and Horace Mann proved himself up to the role. He started a biweekly journal, Common School Journal, in 1838 for teachers and lectured on education to all who would listen.
Mann's Six Principles of Education
At this time he also developed his hugely influential, although at the time controversial, main principles regarding public education and its troubles: (1) Citizens cannot maintain both ignorance and freedom; (2) This education should be paid for, controlled, and maintained by the public; (3) This education should be provided in schools that embrace children from varying backgrounds; (4) This education must be nonsectarian; (5) This education must be taught using tenets of a free society; and (6) This education must be provided by well-trained, professional teachers.
Mann's words angered groups across the social and political spectrum -- from clergymen to educators to politicians -- but his ideas prevailed and still do today.
Mann served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1848 to 1853 and then became the president of Antioch College. A commencement speech he gave two months before his death served as a clarion call, asking students to embrace his influential worldview: "I beseech you to treasure up in your hearts these my parting words: Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity."

About This Book
Everyone in the Underland has been taking great pains to keep The Prophecy of Time from Gregor. Gregor knows it must say something awful but he never imagined just how awful: It calls for the warrior's death. Now, with an army of rats approaching, and his mom and sister still in Regalia, Gregor the warrior must gather up his courage to help defend Regalia and get his family home safely. The entire existence of the Underland is in Gregor's hands, and time is running out. There is a code to be cracked, a mysterious new princess, Gregor's burgeoning dark side, and a war to end all wars.
In this action-packed and suspenseful final installment in the acclaimed Underland Chronicles, Suzanne Collins unfolds the fate of the Underland and the great warrior, Gregor the Overlander, in a manner that can only be described as masterful.

A WIRRAL man admitted keeping a magpie in a cage at his allotment.
Robert Platt, of Bryn Bank, Wallasey, pleaded guilty at Wirral Magistrates Court to failing to meet the bird's need for a suitable environment.
The school bus driver also admitted possessing traps and pigeon jackets which were capable of taking a wild bird, an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
The court heard the jackets had been locked in a drawer for 12 months and there was no evidence any of the items were used to trap birds.
Platt, 53, told the court he kept 60 pigeons, half a dozen geese and half a dozen chickens at the allotment.
Prosecutor Christopher Murphy said the bird and the jackets were found after an RSPCA and police raid at Landican Allotments, Upton, in December 2011.
He said: "They found a cage with a wild magpie present at the scene. There were concerns the cage the bird was in was too small. The jackets were in a locked drawer and the RSPCA says they are capable of being used as traps."
District Judge Michael Abelson said video footage recorded at the scene showed the magpie – named Maggie – appeared to be in distress and the area where the animals were appeared "pretty run down".
But Platt insisted the conditions he kept his animals in were "comparable to most farmyards in the country".
The RSPCA said it had no concerns over the welfare of a rabbit and a dog he had at home.
Huw Davies, defending, said the magpie did not belong to Platt.
He said: "He accepts the cage was too small. It had only been in the cage for less than 24 hours. It was a temporary measure.
"He took the pigeon jackets from another person. They had been in the locked drawer for 12 months. There is no suggestion he was ever going to use them."
District Judge Michael Abelson handed Platt a two-year conditional discharge and ordered him to pay £2,000 in costs.

Breakfast Briefing: Apple wants wittier Siri, IE video chat, second-hand MP3 sales
Posted on 18 Jan 2013 at 09:11
Come in from the cold with today's top tech stories. This morning we hear about Apple's plans to give Siri more personality, Microsoft's latest browser chat developments and the second-hand digital music market coming to Europe.
Apple seeking human touch for Siri
Fancy a job responding to inane questions about train timetables? Apple's looking for someone to put a more human patois into its iPhone assistant Siri, seeking a scriptwriter to freshen up the service's lines.
Siri's family tree runs back to artificial intelligence work from the US military, but according to a job ad spotted by MIT's Technology Review, Apple wants to add character to dialogue.
Apple wants "someone who combines a love for language, wordplay, and conversation with demonstrated experience in bringing creative content to life within an intense technical environment," the ad reads. The applicant will need "experience in writing character-driven dialogue... to evolve and enrich Siri - known for her wit, cultural knowledge, and zeal - to explain things in engaging, funny, and practical ways."
Microsoft unveils video chat progress
Never one to be afraid of pushing the limits of the meaning of common standards, Microsoft has published details of plans to bring plugin-free video chat into its browser, Internet Explorer.
Gigaom discusses how the company's take on browser-based chat differs from the WebRTC model used by Google and others, although Microsoft says its latest effort can connect video callers using OS X and Chrome with a friend using IE on Windows 8.
According to Gigaom, Microsoft "took issue with efforts to make Google's VP8 video codec the default choice for WebRTC. Microsoft's own proposal, dubbed CU-WebRTC, would instead leave it up to the developer of each app to settle on a codec".
Digital content reseller comes to Europe
Digital content reseller ReDigi is set to launch in Europe in the first quarter of this year, according to the Financial Times. The site lets users sell second-hand digital music, books and other content, but it's already facing copyright complaints in New York.
"Property laws the world over have always been that if you buy something, you have the right to resell it," CEO John Ossenmacher told the FT. "Companies like EMI [which owns Capitol Records] are trying to change the status quo by trying to take away people's property rights and their rights to resell their goods just because they happen to be digital."
In order to prevent users from selling a song but keeping a copy, it moves the track to its own servers, deletes the seller's copy, and then sends it to the buyer - a system that has clear loopholes, but at least makes some effort to keep the service legitimate.
Digital content resales have already been ruled legal in Europe, and to make things sweeter for artists, ReDigi is offering a 20% sales cut to any that register with the site.
US bill to force mobile app data deletion
Officials in the US are to discuss a bill that would force app developers to give clearer details about the information they collect and allow users to delete their data.
The Application Privacy, Protection, and Security (APPS) Act would impose greater responsibility on developers to inform users what information would be collected. Consumers choosing to stop using the service would get the power "to the extent practicable, to delete any personal data collected by the application that is stored by the developer". The Verge has the details.
Google buys another London pad
Not content with swish offices in London's Victoria and a new pad opened only last year just off Oxford Street, Google has reportedly snapped up a 2.4 acre site in Kings Cross. The 1 million square feet premises is being redeveloped and Google plans to move in in 2016, according to Reuters.
It's being described as one of the biggest regeneration projects London has ever seen. No word on the council tax bill, yet...
Rogue clouds pose admins problems
Rogue clouds seem apt today, but rather than another snowy excuse for train companies to cut services, they refer to online enterprise services subscribed to by departments outside the IT administration.
According to research from security company Symantec, covered by Network World, 83% of companies surveyed had some sort of cloud service set up by business managers that hadn't told admins what they were doing. It's almost like they got bored of waiting for a response from the server room.

Are the editors drunk??
Just wondering because the title of this article doesn't seem to reflect the contents at all.
Dont see any mention of the word mp3 other than in the title?
By nniillaa on 18 Jan 2013
I think that's the implication of the Digital Content Reseller story - from the article: "The site lets users sell second-hand digital music, books and other content..."
Though what's stopping someone renaming and then moving the track they want to resell, then pointing the ReDigi software at the original track they want to sell on and delete?

Xbox Live's Major Nelson » Xbox LIVE Turns 10 this week :
Has anyone that's been a long time xbox live user gotten this or knows of anyone that's gotten it?
I would love to get this. I've been part of xbox live since the 2nd or 3rd wave of the initial beta (got my orange memory card, shirt, etc...), so got my fingers crossed. :) - 11-15-2012, 05:56 PM #2
I joined XBL when everyone else could as I wasn't into MS beta programs back then. I lost my first GT though and didn't have Gold for a year, when it was on the first console, so now my 360 shows it is as only 7 years. Odd considering it was with the same MS Account email...
Anyway, damn near zero chance I get one, too bad too as my whole family is in a rough spot and my 13 year old brother's Xbox Arcade's drive is crapping out.
Good luck to you though. - 11-20-2012, 11:41 PM #5
yep it was us exclusive where xbox started and only a few was given out.
I think I read somewhere that the consoles and free live were given to the US people who signed up on Day 1 and have been connected to Live ever since. I may be mistaken and honestly can't remember where I read it now.
If it's right I'd love to know how many people that actually is.

On Call: Does cell phone design still matter?
Cell phone manufacturers increasingly are using software to distinguish their phones. But do customers care?
On Call runs every two weeks, alternating between answering reader questions and discussing hot topics in the cell phone world.
In the age of iPhone, Google Android, and Palm WebOS, a funny thing has happened on the way to the cell phone store. Though handset design has long been the focus of cell phone development, hardware manufacturers appear to be shifting their attention. Software is now taking center stage as companies struggle to distinguish their touch-screen devices from their competitors, and companies aren't being shy about this new focus.
The shift really hit home in September when we met with Motorola following the introduction of its Android-powered Cliq. As my colleague Tom Krazit wrote at the time, Moto CEO Sanjay Jha was clear that his company is resting its comeback attempt on its signature MotoBlur software. Jha characterized MotoBlur as more than software, but also as "emblematic of the shift towards software and the Internet as the main features in a modern mobile phone."
From a company that developed some of the most iconic cell phones in history (hello, Moto Razr and Startac), Jha's words were surprising. Software has always been a part of phones, but it has rarely defined them. Unless you were a smartphone buyer deciding between Windows Mobile and BlackBerry, most customers bought a phone and used the manufacturer's standard operating system without a thought. Sure, more savvy users had their strong preferences, and Verizon tried an abysmal standardized interface on its handsets, but elements like thin designs, colored faceplates, and messaging keyboards got the most attention.
And Motorola is not alone. While talking with an HTC rep earlier this week about the HTC Sense, he told me that his company is also distinguishing itself through software. As he put it, there are so only many combinations of cameras, displays, and keyboards, so software is the only real area where manufacturer can best their rivals.
Charles Golvin, a wireless analyst with Forrester Research agrees. "[Software] will be the most important element for manufacturers going forward," he said. "In the past, the phones that changed the market, like the Razr and the iPhone, had big industrial designs. But those opportunities are decreasing."
Indeed, as touch-screen handsets continue to surge in popularity, their designs are growing more alike. Some have slide-out physical keyboards, and others do not, but in either case you typically wind up with a rectangular candy bar device with a large display and a few physical controls. Of course, there are exceptions, but you have to admit that the HTC Hero, the Samsung Moment, and the Cliq don't look that different.
Golvin says the move toward software started with the Nokia Series 60 interface, which offered easier ways to complete standard phone functions. Meanwhile, other manufacturers attempted to make existing operating systems a bit more palatable. Sony Ericsson's Xperia X1, Samsung's Omnia, and HTC's Touch all put a new spin on the increasingly clunky Windows Mobile.
Though reviewers and users largely approved of the changes, Golvin said that in the end HTC's TouchFLO, Samsung's TouchWiz, and Sony Ericsson's interfaces were only skin deep. "Once you got past the surface and into the UI, they were still Windows Mobile devices," he said. It was only after the iPhone introduced a completely new cell phone UI did did the software trend really kick into high gear. Android and Palm's WebOS later came along to bolster the trend even further.
But if software is the future, do customers really care? Golvin says not quite yet. "Most consumers don't really understand what software is and what it means," he said. "They know what's easier to use...but most consumers base their decisions on operator and then on price and design." Golvin said this dynamic is changing, particularly on the smartphone side, but it will take time for software to get more attention from basic phone buyers.
If anything has the power to reshuffle customer priorities, I agree that Android could be it. Even with an OS that is supposed to be the same across all supported devices, manufacturers are making their marks and appealing to different user segments. The T-Mobile MyTouch 3G cast a wider audience than the T-Mobile G1, and HTC added its Sense UI to the Hero and the upcoming Droid Eris. Moto developed MotoBlur, and it beat its rivals to Android 2.0 with the Droid. These differences, Golvin said, will make the consumer smarter. "As people get exposed to more devices, they understand that things work differently," he said. "It's happening already."
Despite the new focus, design will never fade as a buying concern. Consumers will continue to seek handsets with vibrant displays, easy-to-use controls, and sturdy designs, and CNET will continue to analyze those aspects in our reviews. And if something is ugly or just a bit too weird, I doubt that it will sell.
It's still too early to tell if manufacturers are playing the right card. I do think that the era of "It's hot because it's thin" is beginning to fade, but as manufacturers shift their focus, I wonder if they've placed too much faith in their customers.
What do you think? Will software trump cell phone design?

I want the same thing... Although I have a long time to wait for that... and of coarse by the time I die i will be the CEO of the Disney Co hehe...
So I'm sitting here listening to the podcast and laughing as always at all the babbling going on. You and Nathan should join a debate team somewhere.
Anyways, I, too, want to be cremated and have my ashes spread at WDW. I haven't decided exactly where yet, but as long as it's there I'll be happy. In fact, we saw someone spreading ashes behind the castle last January.
If you go before me make sure you leave a spot for "your wife"
I want the same thing... Although I have a long time to wait for that... and of coarse by the time I die i will be the CEO of the Disney Co hehe...
Life isn't about the destination, everybody gets to that. It is about the journey.
Download my Disney Toolbar! It has links to tons of great disney sites like this one!!!
LOL....I have wanted this also for as long as I can remember. LOL Morbid sounding isnt it. My reasoning is that I want to live forever in the happiest place on earth.
Maybe we can just get a group rate for this.
lol DWT ashfest
Life isn't about the destination, everybody gets to that. It is about the journey.
Download my Disney Toolbar! It has links to tons of great disney sites like this one!!!
I suspect it would have to be a covert operation though. It probably breaks any number of Florida state codes.
But if you could get it done, where in WDW would you want your ashes scattered?
Is the Haunted Mansion too ghoulish? Would pushing up daisies near a flying elephant be too dumb(o)?
Smile... it makes people wonder what you've been up to.
Why did I look at this thread? I have not listened to the podcast yet! Whyyyyy!?!?!
Anyways...what would be cool would be if you could buy one of those stones with your name on it that they have outside the Magic Kingdom, and have it hollowed out with your ashes inside.
When I die, I actually want to be bronzed and propped in the corner of the bedroom so I can keep an eye on Mr. iwbm.
They call me "Nana"
Well I for one plan on being all over. I always said I wanted mine taken up in a plane and dropped (helicopter will work too) Nowhere in particular as long as they land on property. HEHEHE! Can you imagine being in line for the teacups and this black powdery stuff dropping on your head? EEWW!
The running joke here in South Florida is to dump your ashes over the roof of a beauty parlor on South Beach

Come On, China, That Is Sooooo Not A Yeti
I don't know if China has even seen a drawing of a Yeti before but they never look like this. And they're also never in pink cages popping an angry squat while their picture's being taken. Glaring inaccuracies aside, this is the "oriental yeti".
The creature was snared in Sichuan province "after locals reported spotting what they thought was a bear". Hunter Lu Chin said: "It looks a bit like a bear but it doesn't have any fur and it has a tail like a kangaroo. It also does not sound like a bear - it has a voice more like a cat and it is calling all the time - perhaps it is looking for the rest of its kind or maybe it's the last one?
He concluded: "There are local legends of a bear that used to be a man and some people think that's what we caught."
Well hate to rain on the yeti Parade, but you remember Delores, the hairless bear at that German zoo? Well I think this is something similar. Except not a bear -- yo momma. Plus she wears combat boots and dresses you funny! Did I really just....? Yes, and I'm not taking it back either unless you tell her and she calls my parents and they make me.

Music Street Journal needs your help and you just might win for helping us out. Here's thing, we're up against a wall on Twitter, meaning they won't let us follow more people until we get more followers. We don't really like unfollowing people, but that's the only option unless we get more followers. So, here's the deal:
Follow us on Twitter - @MusicStreet. For every one hundred "milestone" we pass, we'll pick one winner from our followers. That person will get a free one year membership to the site. That's a 25 dollar value. See this video for what a membership does for you - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0mgHT84EC8. So, we've currently got 938 followers. When we hit 1,000 we'll draw a winner. Then when we hit 1,100 another winner will be drawn. That's going to be the pattern from now on. So, you can help us out and possibly win a great prize in the process.
With a lot of music coming in for review, it can take a while for a release to get covered. Since half of every issue has to be progressive rock, that delay can be even longer for those items that don't fit that category. So, that prompted the addition of expedited reviews (something offered by a number of publications in one form or another). Expedited reviews cost 40 dollars and guarantee that a review will make the cut to be published in the next issue (as long as that issue is at least two weeks away). In addition, the usual requirement of physical review copies is waived, allowing artists to submit digital versions. It does not buy any kind of banner ad or other promotion at the site. Nor does it guarantee a positive review, but Music Street Journal doesn't publish reviews that are more negative than positive, making it likely at least one reviewer will like the disc. In addition, artists can request a specific writer (although dependent on that writer's scheduling it might still get passed to someone else). In other words, what this option does is allow artists to send a digital copy and make sure they get pushed to the front of the line for review. NOTE that this does not allow for reviews for streaming only review copies. However, for an additional charge of 30 dollars we will do an expedited review with streaming only materials. That's the ONLY circumstance where we accept streaming only review copies.

text: COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A former Democratic candidate for state auditor has admitted falsifying election documents. The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/WcRQ3Y ) reports that former Mahoning County treasurer John Reardon pleaded guilty this week to two misdemeanor charges of election falsification. Prosecutors said he listed false loans from his supporters to improve the image of his campaign coffers in 2006. He was sentenced to five years of probation and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine. Reardon repeatedly denied wrongdoing in multiple interviews with FBI investigators. In court he said he believed at the time that his reports were filed properly but now accepts responsibility for what he called a "mistake." Reardon eventually dropped out of the race and received $50,000 from the state party. ___ Information from: The Columbus Dispatch, http://www.dispatch.com(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press.

So im at work so I cant check, but the thought randomly occured to me.
Say youre in a Half Marathon race, its roughly 2/3rds of the way through and lets say you your target is 1 hour 30 minutes.
And lets say youve set your running buddy up on your watch to finish at that time, and your watch says you are currently 3 minutes behind him.
So to finish at at 1 hour 30, you need to make up the 3 minutes before the end of the race to get there.
Without having to bother doing complicated math, is there a setting on your watch that can tell you how fast you NOW need to go to reach your target time so that you can try to run at that even pace knowing if you stick with it, you'll match the time as you cross the finish line??
Essentially if Im 3 minutes behind where I'd like to be, I'd like to know how much extra I need to run in terms of speed to make up those 3 minutes over the course of the remaining race, without having to run like the clappers to make it up, do it with a mile to spare but then Ive exhausted myself doing it too fast that I then cant finish in time.
To be honest, if you're 3 minutes behind pace with a third of the race to go, unless the target was particularly conservative, you're probably fcuked! But yeah, what Millsy said. Garmin on one wrist, pace band on the other. The maths can't be too difficult.
I agree with Millsy. During a race I am constantly working out my estimated pace and finishing time at each mile/km marker. No need for any fancy gadget function.
doing the maths in my head is fun!
Actually Im in the Reading HM, so you can all laugh at my time next month.
Im considering wearing my 'No Fat Chicks' t-shirt on the course to see the reaction.
On my Garmin I set one of the fields to show average pace.
It's slightly easier to deal with.
Multiply the difference between your target pace and your actual pace by the number of miles done and divide the result by the number of miles left.
Eg 20s/mile slow at mile 8 with 5 miles left to go is (20*8)/5=160/5=32secs/mile to make up.
I don't do the running partner thing - average pace is not as sexy, but does the job just fine!
Surely though with 2/3 of a half marathon done, the only thing you are doing is hammering it as much as you can/hanging on in there anyway. It's not a case of "making up" as you are just going to nail the last 4 and a bit miles as hard as you can. If you've lost 3 minutes by then it's all over. If your brain can still cope with all the fancy maths then you are definitely not running hard enough!
Multi tasking too difficult for you exiled claret?
I'm with PhilPub

You clearly haven't spoken to my math teacher about my grades.
TimR wrote (see)
How can a pace band help you make up time equally? I assume that 3minutes was an example. It's more likely to be 1:40 or something smaller but equally random. I tend to run on effort anyway so target times are flexible and I like to see what I've run at the end knowing I've run at capacity. What is the point of aiming for sub 2hr by running 9:09? You could get an easy stretch at the begining where you've relaxed down to 9:09 then hit a hill at the end that knocks your pace for six. Seems odd to me.
If you've relaxed down to 9:09 then you should have enough in reserve to get over the hill!
I was assuming a modicum of common sense. If there's a flippin great hill at the end you obviously need to have a bit of time in the bank to take account of slowing down for the same effort. If it's fairly flat, 9:09 is a good guide pace for each split and maybe you'd want to make sure you're no more than 5-10s out either way.

Washington, DC - 12/07/2009 - The federal Minerals Management Service today gave the green light to Shell Oil's plan to drill exploratory wells in the ecologically rich waters of the Chukchi Sea off Alaska's northwest coast next summer."We are very concerned because drilling for oil runs the risk of devastating spills in a sensitive marine ecosystem already stressed by dramatic climate change," said Marilyn Heiman, director of the Pew Environment Group's U.S. Arctic program. "Careful scientific research should come before drilling in the Chukchi."Shell purchased a swath of oil leases in the Chukchi Sea in 2008 when the previous administration opened up 30 million acres for drilling. Beginning in July 2010, Shell plans to drill three exploratory wells – the first time in 19 years that drilling will be allowed in the Chukchi Sea northwest of Barrow. The exploration program is a massive industrial undertaking requiring a 514-foot drillship, ice-breaker and support vessels, and aircraft that emit tons of pollutants into the air, spew thousands of barrels of waste into the water and generate noise from seismic testing."Exploratory drilling could have a significant impact on migrating bowhead whales and other marine mammals that are central to the Inupiat people's traditional way of life," Heiman said.Drilling poses other dangers, including major oil spills in an extremely remote area where clean-up would be challenging if not impossible due to high winds and seas, frigid temperatures, long periods of darkness and broken ice. Shell's exploration drilling in the Chukchi will take place about 150 miles offshore, far from the infrastructure of staff, ships and clean-up equipment that would be quickly needed should a spill occur. Adequate technology to clean up oil in broken ice has not been proven to work in the U.S. Arctic Ocean."Oil drilling puts more pressure on a marine environment where walrus and ice seals and other mammals are already struggling because of rapidly melting ice," Heiman said. "We urge the Obama administration to take a precautionary, science-based approach to any new oil development in the U.S. Arctic Ocean to protect this vibrant place for future generations."Climate change has caused the Arctic to warm at twice the rate of the rest of the planet, resulting in a loss of pack ice and profound ecological changes. Scientists predict that the Arctic could be ice-free in summers by 2030. Ice-dependent species such as walrus and polar bears are losing their platform for hunting, nursing, molting and resting.

Shilpa's even more beautiful now!
Entrepreneur Raj Kundra has a lot of professional commitments at hand, but actress-wife Shilpa Shetty's pregnancy is priority number one. He is currently amidst setting up his sporting league, which he co-owns with actor Sanjay Dutt, scheduled to take place in the city on March 11. Close on the heels of the news is that singer-actor Jennifer Lopez is scheduled to come to Mumbai for the event, but Raj promises there are more names in the offing.
"The response we have got for the league is just unbelievable. The line-up for the entertainment artistes is stellar and we are calling the entire concept 'sportainment' as we have combined sport with entertainment," he says. Besides the sporting league, he is also busy with his T20 cricket team's preparation for the new season that will begin in April.
Amidst all this, he is most excited about wife Shilpa's pregnancy. Talking animatedly about the impending fatherhood, he says, "We are gearing up to begin this new phase of our lives. It has been a lovely journey so far and we are absolutely looking forward to the birth of our child."
He adds that he's quite pleasantly surprised at the way his wife has been handling her pregnancy. "Shilpa is six months pregnant and is doing absolutely fine by God's grace. She is glowing and looks even more beautiful than ever before. I'd heard from friends that pregnant women get cranky and demanding, but Shilpa has absolutely no complaints ever. We are in a very happy space."
Talking about the sex of the baby, Raj is emphatic when he says, "We don't know and we don't want to know either. We are happy and just want to have a healthy baby; the sex of the baby is irrelevant. I am looking forward to becoming a father."
Will Shilpa be actively involved with their sporting franchises? "She will be there for most of the Mumbai matches. She can't fly to other cities obviously, but I'm sure she'll be there in spirit to cheer us," said Raj.

Airbus in China
Aircraft operations and a final assembly line
China is poised to become one of the world's largest aviation markets, and it already is a major geographical region for Airbus, with Chinese deliveries representing 20 per cent of the company's global production as of late 2013.
Airbus has seen tremendous growth in the nation, with its 1,000th aircraft delivered to a Chinese operator in December 2013 – an A320 received by Air China. This underscored the company's progress in China since 1995, where the in-service Airbus fleet has expanded by 50 times in less than two decades.
The country also is home to a growing number of Airbus manufacturing and support operations – including its first assembly line outside of Europe. The A320 final assembly line in Tianjin began operations during September 2008 as a joint venture between Airbus and a Chinese consortium of Tianjin Free Trade Zone (TJFTZ) and China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC) and had delivered more than 125 aircraft as of mid-2013.
This facility's first completed jetliner made its maiden flight in May 2009, and was delivered the following month to Dragon Aviation Leasing for operation by Chengu-based carrier Sichuan Airlines – marking the first customer handover of an Airbus jetliner produced outside of Europe.
The 100th A320 Family jetliner assembled at Airbus' Tianjin facility was completed during August 2012, with this step accompanied by a framework agreement under which Airbus, TJFTZ and AVIC will continue their final assembly cooperation beyond the original business plan – which was due to expire in 2016. This milestone 100th Chinese-built Airbus jetliner was delivered from the facility in September 2012 to Air China. Final Assembly Line China marked another key achievement in May 2013 with the handover of the facility's initial Sharklet-equipped A320 to China Eastern Airlines.
Airbus China and other subsidiaries
Airbus expanded into China in 1985 with its first delivery of an A310 to China Eastern Airlines. In 1994, Airbus China Company Limited was officially established and Airbus China Beijing Representative Office began operation. More than 1,200 people work for Airbus and its joint-ventures in China.
In Beijing, the Airbus customer support centre stocks some 25,000 spare parts for dispatch to airlines in the Asia-Pacific region and was the first Chinese organisation to earn EN9100 approval. Additionally, more than 20 European and American vendors supporting Airbus customers operate from the centre, which also has a dedicated avionics repair workshop.
Inaugurated in 2011, Airbus (Tianjin) Logistics Centre is fully operational in its facilities at Tianjin Free Trade Zone Comprehensive Bonded Area. Airbus signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Tianjin Free Trade Zone in October 2009 to establish a logistics centre, optimising the supply chain management for all of Airbus' industrial cooperation projects in China.
Training, engineering and manufacturing centres
Airbus' Beijing training centre was set up jointly with the China Aviation Supplies Import & Export Corporation in 1998, and is the most modern such facility in the country – containing two full simulators: one for the A320 Family and one for the A330/A340 Family. The centre has trained thousands of maintenance engineers, cabin crew and pilots, many of whom come from outside China.
The Airbus (Beijing) Engineering Centre (ABEC) first opened in July 2005 and, from 2008, became a joint venture between Airbus China Limited (70%), Hafei Aviation Industry Company Limited (HAI, 18%), Jiangxi Hongdu Aviation Industry Company Limited (7%) and China Aviation Industry Corporation I (5%).
Airbus and its Chinese partners inaugurated the Harbin Hafei Airbus Composite Manufacturing Centre in February 2011 – an eco-efficient joint venture located in Harbin. This 33,000-square foot facility features highly advanced equipment and technology – including automated-tape-laying, autoclave, automated trimming, and non-destructive test equipment.
Supporting operators…and sustaining the industry
Airbus China Limited and its subsidiaries – comprised of the Hua-Ou Aviation Training Centre, Hua-Ou Aviation Support Centre and Airbus (Beijing) Engineering Centre – have been awarded International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 14001 certification status for the manufacturer's environmental management systems. This certification highlights achievements in monitoring and minimising the environmental effect of their operations.
With China's aviation market continuing to grow – and the need to make air transport a more sustainable industry – Airbus has partnered with China's Tsinghua University to complete a sustainability analysis examining potential alternative sustainable aviation fuel sources, and then develop a plan for escalating production of sustainable jet fuel in the country. This partnership is part of Airbus' mission to establish "value chains" which link fuel source growers, sustainable aviation fuel manufacturers and airlines on every continent in order to increase production.
In September 2012, Airbus and China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) – one of China's largest energy companies – reached an agreement on developing and promoting renewable aviation fuel production for regular commercial use in China.
Strong ties to Chinese manufacturers
Airbus not only values its relationship with airlines in China, it also appreciates the enormous potential offered by Chinese industry. Currently, over half the Airbus fleet in service worldwide has parts produced by Chinese companies with whom Airbus already enjoys strong relations. The total value of Airbus and the Chinese aviation industry's cooperation reached $295 million in 2012 and is expected to be near $500 million in 2015.
The industrial ties in China include: the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, which supplies the A320's rear passenger door and parts of its nose section; the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, producing and assembling the A320's emergency exit doors, and manufacturing fixed leading edges, wing interspar ribs, cargo doors and skin plates, as well as A330/A340 cargo doors.
In addition, the Xi'an Aircraft Company manufactures electronic bay doors for the A320 and A330/A340 Families, as well as the fixed trailing edges on wings for the A320 Family and the brake blades and medium air ducts for the A330/A340 Family; the Hong Yuan Aviation Forging & Casting (HYFC) supplies titanium forged parts used in mounting powerplants on wings; and the Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory produces A320 Family aircraft cargo door frames.
Modernising China's Airspace
In 2013, Airbus signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with China's Air Traffic Management Bureau (ATMB) under the Civil Aviation Adminstration of China (CAAC) to cooperate on updating the nation's air traffic management (ATM) systems with its latest technologies.
Within this agreement's framework, the Airbus ProSky subsidiary is responsible for implementing state-of-the-art ATM technologies focussed on improving China's air transportation capacity and efficiency, while contributing to a sustainable future.
The MoU provided framework for four projects' start-up in 2013, including: air traffic flow management (ATFM); airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM); Assessing the capacity of Chengdu Airport for the implementation of required navigation performance authorisation required (RNP AR) and instrument landing systems (ILS) technology; and, improving the performance of instrument landing systems at Beijing Capital Airport.
A strategy of partnerships
Airbus also seeks to form new industrial partnerships whenever possible. For example, the A318 is the first new Airbus aircraft developed with support from a Chinese engineering team.
Also, the specially-commissioned roll-on, roll-off ship that transports A380 components within the Airbus production network was built at the country's Jinling shipyard.
In addition, Airbus has several major technology transfer programmes underway in China, including one that will enable the complete wing of the A320 Family to be manufactured in China. The success of such projects means that as Airbus increases production, it can continue to expand in the region.

Remember all those screenplays and poems that Chiefs safety claimed to have written while on injured reserve last year? After this Inside the NFL segment about Berry's equinophobia, I now imagine most of them to be horror stories about horse murders or seemingly pleasant episodes in Berry's life that were ruined by berserk mares. The first 40 seconds of the clip are about Berry's acute horror terror. A few quotes: "Aw hell nah, there go that horse. I don't f*ck with that horse." "The horse. I gotta wait 'til the horse pass. I don't mess with horses, bruh. Straight up. Might come over here and throw a tantrum." "Hold up, coach, that horse out there. That horse. Oooh, she need to go on ahead with that horse. I don't fool with no horses, boy. Hell nah." Awww, don't worry, the mean horse lady isn't gonna get you. You're fine. Shhh. Shh. Quiet thoughts. OH NO! DON'T LOOK, ERIC!
