Dipset's Jim Jones has sent discomfort to his 1.7 million Twitter followers by revealing his involvement in an accident.
Jones' vague but serious tweet landed online early Monday (January 17) morning.
"Just had a very bad accident pray for us," Jones tweeted. (Jim Jones' Twitter)
One of Jones' Dipset affiliates Sen City hinted at the seriousness behind the accident.
"RT @jimjonescapo: Just had a very bad accident pray for us," Sen re-tweeted Monday morning.
"Jus escaped death!!!" (Sen City's Twitter)
Outside of the accident, Jones recently discussed an upcoming Diplomat reunion album.
"It's going down, believe that," Jones said about the LP. "We're still recording songs but you don't have to worry, the Dipset album is happening big time. You can bet your last dollar. I wouldn't say officially [we're on Interscope], officially is a big word–shouts to Interscope, Jimmy Iovine, Dr. Dre and everybody on that side. Just sit tight. We got a joint called 'Anticipation' that y'all should love. The vibe is good just being back with my band of brothers." (VIBE)
The Diplomats are reportedly set to secure an album deal with Interscope Records.
After an interview at The Source Magazine headquarters where Freekey Zekey insinuated that a Dipset deal with Interscope Records was possible by pointing to a magazine cover with Dr. Dre's picture (in addition to the revelation that the group has actually recorded with Dre), Freekey has confirmed that the group will be signing a deal with the label. "The papers are not actually signed right now [sic] but you could basically say it's going down," said Freekey in an interview with QTheQuestion.com, when prompted about the possibility of a deal with Interscope. (Hip Hop DX)
No further details have emerged as of now.

Boston, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - Jarome Iginla scored a pair of goals and Milan Lucic added one with a pair of assists, as the Boston Bruins earned their eighth straight win with a 5-1 triumph over the Carolina Hurricanes.
Chris Kelly and Torey Krug also scored, while David Krejci picked up three assists in the victory.
The winning streak is the longest for the Bruins since a 10-game run in November 2011. Boston is 11-1-2 in its last 14 games.
"It just seems like everything is clicking for us right now," said Lucic.
Chad Johnson got the start in the Boston net after Tuukka Rask played the last two games and made 29 saves. He improved to 8-0-1 in his last nine starts.
Alexander Semin scored the lone goal for Carolina, which had a modest two-game win streak stopped. Cam Ward stopped 36 shots in defeat.
"Our best players tonight did not play the way they are capable of," said Carolina head coach Kirk Muller. "It was early in the game that we had to push back and we didn't."
The Hurricanes trimmed a two-goal deficit just 3:53 into the third when Semin's shot from the right circle tipped a Boston stick in front and skipped past Johnson. Carolina then failed to convert a power play midway through the period after Reilly Smith went off tripping.
Boston put it away with a pair of goals in 13 seconds -- the fastest two scores by the Bruins this season. Kelly netted his seventh with 7:11 remaining on a nice three-way passing play with Dougie Hamilton and Krejci, before Iginla picked up his second of the game and team-best 23rd of the season from the top of the crease.
Krug finished the contest with a blast from the point with 9.4 seconds to play for his 14th goal.
Lucic opened the scoring with 4:32 remaining in the first period when he swept a shot home from the right side of the crease for his 21st goal. He then set up Boston's second goal late in the second.
After chasing down the puck and winning a battle behind the Carolina net, Lucic sent a pass toward the crease. The puck wound up behind the net again and Lucic quickly flipped a backhand pass into the left circle for Iginla, who snapped a high shot past Ward.
Lucic has a four-game point streak, posting two goals and four assists in that
span ... Iginla has four goals and an assist during a four-game point streak
... Semin has a season-high seven-game point streak, during which he's notched
four goals and five assists ... The Bruins swept this season's three-game
series, winning the first two games during a five-day span back in November
... Boston improved to 10-2-1 in matinees this season ... The Bruins were 0-
for-2 on the power play and killed off each of Carolina's three chances with
the extra skater.
Eric Wolford has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the Youngstown State football program.
Kasey Kahne will continue to drive for Hendrick Motorsports through the 2018 Sprint Cup season, signing a three-year contract extension on Thursday.
The Denver Broncos signed former Buccaneers kicker Connor Barth and waived kicker Brandon McManus on Tuesday.
The Chicago White Sox officially announced Tuesday that the team has agreed to terms with veteran first baseman Adam LaRoche on a two-year, $25 million contract.
You probably know that the two NBA teams with 12 wins are the Memphis Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors.
At first glance, the San Jose Sharks appear to be a mildly disappointing team this season, but the club's record doesn't tell the whole story.

Greater Latrobe district's sports complex expansion slated for vote
The Greater Latrobe School Board is expected to award six contracts on Monday for a controversial $9.5 million project to build two multipurpose athletic fields, a field house, bleachers, concession stand and a press box at the junior-senior high school complex.
The bids that were opened on Thursday must be reviewed before the board's meeting to determine the lowest responsible bidder, said Hank Tkacik, a principal at Axis Architecture of North Huntingdon, the school district's architect. Tkacik said he was pleased the district's project drew competition from 44 companies seeking to work on the athletic complex. All phases of the project received multiple bids.
School district officials have estimated the project would cost about $10 million. Work could begin by January and be completed in about 12 months.
The apparent low bidders were:
• General construction: Gurtner Construction Co. of Pittsburgh's West End, $3,699,300.
• Site construction work: Custom Contracting of Acme, $3,592,400.
• Heating, ventilating and air conditioning: Hranec Sheet Metal Inc. of South Union, Fayette County, $238,000.
• Plumbing: W.G. Tomko Inc. of Finleyville, $599,888.
• Electrical work: Allegheny City Electric Inc. of Ross, $1,187,895.
• Bleachers: Dant Clayton Sports Inc. of Louisville, Ky.: $494,494.
The multipurpose facility would include two lighted artificial turf fields to replace the two non-lighted grass fields. The fields will be separated by a new field house with locker rooms, a weight room and meeting rooms. Latrobe's track teams, lacrosse, field hockey, soccer, softball, baseball and football teams can use the fields for practice.
The cross country team will have a new course for running, and the tennis team will get a fifth court so an entire match can be played at the same time.
The project came under fire at the board's October meeting by opponents who questioned why the district would spend close to $10 million on an expanded athletic complex.
Some residents questioned the need for bleachers large enough for 2,000 people when the athletic contests played on the fields typically will not attract that many people. The district plays its varsity football games at Latrobe Memorial Stadium at Legion Keener Park in Latrobe, and the board said it does not plan to move those football games to the high school campus.
Athletic director Mark Mears said the facilities are needed because the district now has 27 teams, up from 12 teams several years ago.
To pay for the project, the school district in March approved a $10 million bond issue. Part of the proceeds will be used for improvements in classroom technology and the expansion of the junior high arts curriculum.
The school district is conducting a fundraising campaign through the Greater Latrobe Partners in Education to help pay for the project.

Community seeks funds for house demolitions
A community activist group wants to make sure whoever becomes Omaha's next mayor is committed to tearing down abandoned homes.
The group Omaha Together One Community wants both candidates to commit $1 million a year to the problem.
The city has 748 houses on its demolition list. On average, it costs the city about $12,000 to knock down a house -- but neighbors say it's worth every penny.
"There's just been a lot of riffraff in and out of the house," said Crystal Blanton, who lives next door to one such house near 34th and Burt streets.
Blanton said she worries about her daughter having to grow up next to a home with strangers coming and going.
"They've spray-painted the house. People come by and just drop off furniture in front of the house 'cause it's abandoned," she said. "It's just, everything you can think of. It's just not a good place."
OTOC said more needs to be done to tear down these types of houses.
"It's a public-safety hazard to firefighters or police, who would have to deal with any fires or crimes in this property," said Gloria Austerberry of OTOC.
While OTOC looks forward to Thursday's demolition, Blanton knows plenty of other neighbors are waiting for their problem property to go too.
"This is a nice neighborhood, and this house makes it look terrible," she said.
OTOC will formally ask both mayoral candidates on Monday to set aside $1 million in their budget for demolitions.
Mayoral candidate Jean Stothert said allocating those funds would be difficult, but that she believes "budgeting additional money for demolition should be a priority for the next mayor."
Mayor Jim Suttle said condemned and vacant houses need to come down but it's an issue of cash flow. He said more money is in this year's budget for demolitions. He said he didn't want to make a decision for one program without consider others.

Lenovo X201 Support Comes To Coreboot
Published on 15 December 2013 02:09 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
2 Comments
The Lenovo ThinkPad X201 laptop is now supported by mainline Coreboot.
The Lenovo X201 from the Intel Celpella platform (Ibex Peak + Core i3/i5/i7 Clarksfield/Arrandale processors) is now supported by Coreboot as an open-source replacement to Lenovo's proprietary BIOS.
Coreboot has been extensively tested with the Lenovo X201 and works for most functionality but currently fails in handling suspend-to-RAM, ExpressCard hot-plugging, and occasional battery misreporting.
Those with a 2009/2010 Lenovo ThinkPad X201 and want to try Coreboot need the mainline code as of
this Git commit
that happened early on Sunday. Many details about X201 on Coreboot can be found via the
project's Wiki
If you're looking for a low-cost device shipping with Coreboot by default, check out the

We thought that the WickedLeak Wammy Passion Z Plus' MediaTek MT 6589T would deliver a big bump in performance but we were disappointed. Sure the 1080p display looks crisp and beautiful and the benchmark performance has improved from the MT 6589 chipset but that's about it. Since more pixels are rendered on screen, we wish the phone had more RAM so that we'd enjoy a smoother interface. The overall performance of the WickedLeak Wammy Passion Z Plus is good. The display and the design of the smartphone are its highlights with the performance coming in at second. The camera performance is also average. The only downside to the device is that there are times during heavy multitasking when it lags. If you have a budget of Rs. 15,000 and want a smartphone with a great display, you can consider this device along with the Lemon A4.
MediaTek MT6589 powered smartphones have been around for quite some time now and we have eagerly been waiting for the launch of smartphones powered by the MT6589 Turbo chipset. Today we have with us the WickedLeak Wammy Passion Z Plus. The smartphone is priced at Rs. 15,990 and boasts of some interesting specifications.At a glance
A slim and attractive design, quad-core processor, 12MP rear camera are the first things that you will notice about the smartphone. Here is a detailed specifications comparison of the WickedLeak Wammy Passion Z Plus against the competition (iBerry Auxus Nuclea N1 FHD, Spice Pinnacle FHD Mi-525, Micromax Canvas 4 and Lemon A4).
A full HD display and a whopping 2500mAh battery are the most attractive features of the smartphone. It supports a mere 4GB built-in storage but that can be expanded up to 64GB via a microSD card.Design
The first thing that you will notice about the WickedLeak Wammy Passion Z Plus is that the device doesn't look like a budget smartphone. It is really light, weighing a mere 150 grams and has a 5-inch full HD display which boasts of OGS (One Glass Solution). This helps to maintain the slim form factor of the device. Below the display you have the standard capacitive 'menu', 'home' and 'back' buttons.
The rear of the smartphone is white plastic and has the same feel and finish that we have seen on numerous other phones. The rear panel is easy to remove and you get access to the two SIM card slots and the MicroSD card slot. None of the slots are hot swappable.
The placement of buttons and ports on the Wammy Passion Z Plus is pretty standard- the bottom of the phone has the micro USB port, the left has the volume rocker, the right has the power button and the top has the headphones jack. The physical buttons are silver in colour on a white smartphone making them distinct. Their placement is convenient for single hand use.
The smartphone has a slim and elegant design, one of the better ones that we have seen on a budget smartphone. We have also seen some really well built smartphones such as the Lemon A4, but the WickedLeak Wammy Passion Z Plus has the ability to hold its own in terms of design when compared to the competition.UI and preloaded apps
The WickedLeak Wammy Passion Z Plus runs on Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean. The smartphone also has the ability to update OTA (Over The Air), a feature we miss in most budget smartphones. The rest of the user interface is stock Android, one that we love. Navigating the device feels smooth but once you start multitasking you will see a noticible lag on the smartphone. The smartphone doesn't come preloaded with any apps and that isn't a bad thing as you have access to the Google Play store to populate the device with the apps you want to use.Performance:
OK, so the smartphone looks really good and the design and display are the highlights so far. Here is a quick look to see how the MediaTek 6589 Turbo chipset performs when compared to its predecessor.
Getting the worst out of the way, the SmartBench Gaming score of the smartphone is the lowest when compared to the other devices. In the other benchmark scores, the WickedLeak Wammy Passion Z Plus scored quite well, in some cases coming second after the Tegra 3 powered Xolo Play.
Moving on, the display of the WickedLeak smartphone is really good. The full HD display has wide viewing angles and the reproduction of colours is quite crisp. The whites on the display look white and that is a good thing as it proves that the display doesn't have a tint. Reading text, watching movies, playing games or just navigating the device is fun since the display is gorgeous.
There is no lag while navigating the smartphone or using it for multitasking. The experience of interacting with the display feels really good. The keyboard is stock Android and is well laid out and the device is comfortable to type on.
The 5-inch display has a 1920x1080 pixel resolution giving it 440 ppi pixel density. The IPS panel has really good viewing angles and the text images; games all look crisp on the smartphone. The only smartphone that we have seen that has a more vibrant display at full brightness has to be the Lemon A4.
When it came to testing video files, we found that AVI and MP4 files ran smoothly on the WickedLeak Wammy Passion Z Plus but in the case of MKV, the video played but the audio didn't. Navigating the timeline of the videos, changing orientation, everything was smooth on the native player without any hiccups.
The camera on the WickedLeak Wammy Passion Z Plus is good in well-lit conditions. The images are suited for use on social networking websites but not much else. But if you blow the images up to their full size, you will see some loss of detail. In low-lit environments, the quality of the camera isn't great.
Gaming on the Wammy Passion Z Plus is plagued by the same problems that we saw on the other MediaTek MT6589 powered smartphones. We thought the situation would change on the MediaTek MT6589T chipset, but alas, Real Racing 3 still refused to run. However, games such as Angry Birds, Subway Surfer and even Dead Trigger ran well.
The calling capabilities of the smartphone is quite good. The earpiece performs well and the audio is clear. The loudspeaker is also really loud and that is a good thing.
In terms of its battery life, the WickedLeak Wammy Passion Z Plus is average. In our continuous video playback test, the device lasted for five hours. With average use you will be able to get through one day of use.
Bottom Line
We thought that the WickedLeak Wammy Passion Z Plus' MediaTek MT 6589T would deliver a big bump in performance but we were disappointed. Sure the 1080p display looks crisp and beautiful and the benchmark performance has improved from the MT 6589 chipset but that's about it. Since more pixels are rendered on screen, we wish the phone had more RAM so that we'd enjoy a smoother interface. The overall performance of the WickedLeak Wammy Passion Z Plus is good. The display and the design of the smartphone are its highlights with the performance coming in at second. The camera performance is also average. The only downside to the device is that there are times during heavy multitasking when it lags. If you have a budget of Rs. 15,000 and want a smartphone with a great display, you can consider this device along with the Lemon A4.

Desert Island
What would you take to a desert isle,
my teacher wanted to know
I told her my Bible. That made her smile.
A copy of Robinson Crusoe!
She liked that one too. I mentioned my dog.
And pictures of Grandma and Grandpa.
She wept. Her glasses started to fog
and a tear ran into her bra.
I mentioned my schoolbooks, and gave her a grin.
She looked at me and squinted.
She wanted the truth? Two bottles of gin
and every Playboy ever printed.

Storm tracker: Isaac and how Republicans would deal with natural disasters
Tropical Storm Isaac has blown west of Tampa, Fla., giving the Republican national convention a reprieve. Previously, the presidential hopeful Mitt Romney was going to have to compete with potential storm damage and injuries in Florida. The convention was scheduled to open on Monday, immediately recess and then reconvene on Tuesday.
Isaac could still cause significant damage on the Gulf Coast, where it is headed now. As this AP story points out, it is close to the 7th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
Republicans are probably now worried that it will remind the country of how the previous Republican president, George W. Bush, fumbled that crisis. At this point, Isaac is still just a tropical storm, with the potential for an upgrade to Category 1 hurricane.
Leadership during natural disasters hasn't been a campaign issue so far, but voters should pause to consider how the presidential candidates would fund FEMA and lead in a time of crisis. (Instead, we're running around buzzing over a Missouri senatorial candidate's comments on abortion and Ayn Rand.)
The biggest environmental disaster President Barack Obama has dealt with was the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Obama's handling was "meh." That was not purely a natural disaster, as the blame and cost of the cleanup mostly went to the oil company. But the Interior Department's Minerals Management Service, which regulated deep-water drilling, was clearly compromised, with regulators accepting gifts from oil and gas companies and negotiating jobs at the companies they were supposed to oversee. Here's a 2010 AP story that sums it up.
With Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, we can look to the budget of his running mate Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. Ryan does not specifically call out FEMA funding in his 2012 budget proposal which he titled, "The Path to Prosperity." (This budget document was uploaded by the New York Times.) In it, Ryan clearly states the goal of "streamlining other government agencies" outside of the military. Here is an excerpt:
"Government spending on domestic departments and agencies has grown too much, too fast over the past decade, with much of the money going to programs and projects the nation can do without. This budget starts to restore spending discipline to a government that badly needs it by returning non-security discretionary spending to well below 2008 levels.
I give Obama the edge. It would be worse to cut funding to FEMA and the Minerals Management Service and FEMA. If there's funding, at least you can fire the incompetent regulators and hire better ones.
Here is an interactive storm tracker for Hurricane Isaac from the AP.

Varietal: Nebbiolo
Country: Italy
Region: Piedmont, Barolo
"A huge, muscular wine. In 2005 the wine shows a decidedly fruit-driven, fresh style. The purity of fruit here is remarkable. The dark, brooding quality that is often present in the wine is absent, while floral, perfumed elements dominate in this vintage. The fruit remains dense, ripe and primary. From start to finish, this is a remarkable Bric del Fiasc."

2006 Azelia Barolo Bricco Fiasco
"The 2006 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is simply magnificent. It, too, is impressively powerful, but here the layers of flavor are beautifully filled out. Exotic, ripe red fruit, smoke and menthol are but a few of the nuances that gradually emerge as this refined and impeccably elegant wine rises from the glass. The French oak is beautifully integrated, while the wine's weight and sheer harmony leave a lasting impression."

"The 2001 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is one of the most impressive wines in this ten-year retrospective of the 2001 Baroli. The Bricco Fiasco remains vibrant, fresh and beautifully delineated from start to finish. Bright flowers, ripe red cherries, mint and iron flow onto the palate in this gorgeous, totally impeccable Barolo. The 2001 doesn't taste or feel that much different than it did as a young wine."

2001 Azelia Barolo San Rocco
"The 2001 Barolo San Rocco is even more impressive than the Bricco Fiasco. Here it is the Serralunga muscle and grip that informs the wine to a great degree. Tar, smoke, leather and plums wrap around the intense, virile finish. The 2001 San Rocco is young, young, young. What a great showing!"

DALLAS, Aug. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- China has been the world's largest automobile and auto parts markets for five consecutive years since 2009. In the context of such favorable conditions, the world's leading vehicle and auto parts companies have made more efforts to explore the Chinese market, with key global seat motor manufacturers having set up factories or subsidiaries in China, and most of them having constantly built new plants or expanded capacities over the past three years.
(Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140801/132506)
The mainland Chinese companies started late in automotive seat motor field. Most of them began producing such motors after 2003, with scale being small and technologies lagging behind international peers. By 2013, only Shenghuabo Group and Zhejiang Founder Motor Limited Company can produce over 1 million sets of seat motors each annually in Mainland China. Chinese automotive seat motor market now is dominated by foreign manufacturers.
Japanese and German companies play a leading role in automotive seat motor market globally, with the former ranking first with over 40% market share. The world's eight major automotive seat motor suppliers occupy 70% of the global market, of which four are from Japan, namely, ASMO, Nidec, Mitsuba and Mabuchi, two from Germany, i.e., Bosch and Brose, one from Hong Kong, China, i.e., Johnson Electric, and one from Chinese Mainland, i.e, Shenghuabo Group.
Order a copy of this report at http://www.chinamarketresearchreports.com/contacts/purchase.php?name=114869 .
Passenger vehicle seat motors account for above 95% of the entire automotive seat motor market. Only mid-range and upscale passenger vehicles were equipped with seat motors before 2010, but, with intensified configuration competition among vehicle manufacturers and users' growing appetite for comfort, the installation rate of automotive seat motor has been gradually increasing in recent years.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Linux 3.16-rc1 - merge window closed
So it's been two weeks since the merge window opened, and rc1 is out
there and thus the merge window is closed.
It may have been a slightly unusual two week merge window, in that
it's only one week since the release of 3.15 and the first week
overlapped with the last -rc for that previous release, but that
doesn't seem to have affected development much. Things look normal,
and if anything, this is one of the bigger release windows rather than
on the smaller side. It's not quite as big as the merge window for
3.15, but it's actually not that far off.
It also looks fairly usual from a statistics standpoint: about two
thirds of the changes are to drivers (and one third of *that* is to
staging), and half of the remainder is architecture updates (with arm
dominating, dts files leading - but there's mips, powerpc, x86 and
arm64 there too).
Outside of drivers and architecture updates, there's the usual mixture
of changes elsewhere: filesystems (mainly reiserfs, xfs, btrfs, nfs),
networking, "core" kernel (mm, locking, scheduler, tracing), and
tooling (perf and power, also new self-tests).
Also as usual, the shortlog is much too big to be generally useful and
posted as part of this announcement, but you can obviously look at the
details in git. I'm posting the "mergelog" as usual, which I think is
a slightly better way to see the high-level picture. And as usual, it
credits not the people who necessarily wrote the code, but the
submaintainers that sent it to me. For real credits, see the git tree.
Go forth and test,

Make Your Mark on the World With Linux
Linux and FOSS have already changed the world, and we're just at the beginning. This is a great time to learn to be a maker, in contrast to being a mere consumer. Clicking buttons on a smartphone is not being tech-savvy; hacking and building the phone is. Some people give Make Magazine the credit for launching the Maker Movement. Whether they launched it or just gave it a name, it is a real phenomenon, a natural evolution of do-it-yourselfers, inventors, and hackers in every generation. Remember Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Hands-On (for Shopsmith projects), photography magazines, woodworking magazines, electronics...remember Heathkit? Remember when Radio Shack was still an electronics store? How about Edmund Scientific? That is still a wonderful playground of anatomical models, microscopes, telescopes, dinosaurs, prisms, lenses, chemistry sets, lasers, geology stuff, and tons more. All of these still exist, and have moved online like everything else. It's a feast of riches, plus we have all the cool new stuff that Make Magazine covers. This is absolutely the best time to be a curious tech adventurer.

Microsoft intentionally deprecated it and hid it away in Windows 8 because they found that the majority of the mouthbreathing, knuckle-dragging idiots with PCs never used it, therefore it should be removed.

That's how deprecation works. First you stop updating a feature, then you make it crappier in a later release, and then finally you remove it altogether.

Monster, the world leader in high-performance personal audio, is proud to announce it is entering the gaming accessories space with the breakthrough EA SPORTS™ MVP Carbon by Monster® headphone. Jointly developed with EA SPORTS, a label of Electronic Arts Inc., a global leader in digital interactive entertainment, the new EA SPORTS MVP Carbon by Monster® headphone (SRP: $269.95) is the first-ever collaboration between a game developer and a headphone manufacturer that offers an unprecedented level of immersive sonic gameplay – just the way the game developers intended. Follow Monster during CES at #MonsterCES and the EA headphones launch at #PlayLoud.
EA Sports MVP Carbon (Photo: Business Wire)
The EA SPORTS MVP Carbon by Monster® headphone fuses superior industrial design with maximum comfort and performance for unprecedented surround sound intensity with games, as well as a new level of audio performance for both music and movies. The unique alliance between Monster and EA SPORTS results in a new type of headphone that gives gamers the edge they need to play hours without fatigue and totally immerse themselves in all the action. It will be available in both white and black versions at retailers worldwide and www.monsterproducts.com beginning in February 2013.
Unique Creative Partnership for Brand New Type of Gaming Headphone
Designed from the ground up as the ultimate gaming headphone, the breakthrough EA SPORTS MVP Carbon by Monster® headphones is the result of the first-ever creative collaboration between EA SPORTS, and Monster, the audio engineer behind the sound of the acclaimed Beats by Dr. Dre® headphones.
Founder and Head Monster Noel Lee noted, "Anyone who spends a lot of time involved in the intense world of gaming knows that a truly great pair of headphones can make all the difference, both in terms of performance and sheer fun. To develop this unique premium product, Monster could not have a better partner than EA SPORTS. Their insight and expertise into exactly what features and capabilities will benefit gamers most was invaluable in the development process. The result is a new type of headphone that not only provides a much more intense listening experience for gaming – but delivers even more surround sound impact for music and movies as well. Let the games begin!"
First-Ever Monster® HDHS (High Definition Headphone Surround)
Gaming is a totally immersive experience, and Monster brought all of its leading-edge expertise and technologies to bear in the creation of a new type of headphone that puts you in the action like never before.

Monster® HDHS goes beyond conventional 5.1 surround sound, and users enjoy this new level of immersive surround sound impact and intensity without the need for multiple speakers and separate processors – just the headphones themselves!
Another key element to the EA SPORTS MVP Carbon's astounding audio performance is Monster's latest and most sophisticated on-ear 30MM driver design for gaming and music. In conjunction with this, they incorporate the Gamebox™, a powerful new type of mix amplifier and processor specifically engineered for Monster® HDHS. This leading-edge multi-platform mix amp offers seamless compatibility with PCs, Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Wii™ and Wii U™.
To ensure the most comfortable gaming and music listening experience possible, EA SPORTS MVP Carbon by Monster® headphones feature a convenient on-ear form factor and size, as well as a super comfortable headband with precision crafted materials to ensure the proper clamping force needed to keep the headphone firmly in place with maximum comfort. New breathable materials add to the exceptional comfort and fit during intense sessions. Adding to their use for on-the-go gamers, they feature foldable arms for easy packing and travel.
"We couldn't be more excited to partner with Monster, the world's leading manufacturer of high-performance headphones," said Christopher Erb, Vice President of EA SPORTS Brand Marketing. "Our innovative collaboration will deliver the ultimate sound experience for gaming as well as music and movies to our consumers."
Monster was founded over 30 years ago by Head Monster Noel Lee, who was recently honored with the prestigious Plus X Award®: Lifetime Achievement Award, as a company dedicated to creating products that enhance the sound quality of music.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...
