Itronix officials have announced a product even better than a deluxe cupholder: A semi-rugged notebook PC especially suited for use in vehicles. The GoBook VR-1 VR stands for vehicle-ready is Itronix's first venture into the semi-rugged market.
The company makes rugged notebooks built to withstand extreme conditions, but they sell for premium prices and have more features than many customers need. The VR-1 is for travelers and law enforcement officers who need something tougher than a standard notebook PC but don't want to pay for protection against conditions they're not likely to encounter.
Matt Gerber, senior vice president of product line marketing at Itronix, characterized customers' wishes this way: "Give me a product I can throw in the back of the car and leave overnight, whether it's freezing or in the desert, and I don't have to worry about it."
According to Itronix, the VR-1 is the first semi-rugged notebook PC that meets Defense Department Mil-Std 810F for vibration, humidity and operating temperature range. It also offers protection against shocks and liquid spills, but not as much as the standard requires.
And the VR-1 costs $3,329, compared with $4,495 for a fully rugged notebook.
Government users will appreciate the security of a removable hard drive and optional integrated fingerprint scanner or smart card reader. The VR-1 also offers a range of wireless options: 802.11a/b/g, wireless wide-area networking, Global Positioning System access and Bluetooth capability.

Report: iOS 7 seeks greater in-car integration
Following a recent report about iOS 7's interface, 9to5Mac has more information on Apple's plans for the new operating system, reporting that "Apple plans to move aggressively into the in-car integration space later this year." Multiple sources noted Apple is "working with car makers to deeply embed iOS's Maps and Siri services into cars." The company is reportedly working with car makers on center consoles that could attach iOS devices — at that point, an optimized version of Apple's Maps could then appear on the car's display, with Siri used to control Maps and other features. It's noted that the new functionality could still be a long way from public release, and the feature may require newer iOS devices.
Apple has quietly crept further into the automotive world recently. Volkswagen introduced the iBeetle, a special edition Beetle with iPhone integration — though the integration is not nearly as deep as the proposals reported with iOS 7. Touted as an iOS 6 feature, Apple's Siri Eyes Free feature was first integrated by GM, followed by Honda and Acura, with BMW, Mercedes, Land Rover, Jaguar, Audi, Toyota, and Chrysler also announced as partners. Apple and Ferrari have apparently discussed a deeper partnership, and Ferrari's FF model integrates Siri voice commands, using iPad minis for rear seat entertainment. Also, Apple recently filed two patents related to communication between iOS devices and vehicles.

With a new Oregon Inlet Task Force in place and working to find a "long-term and sustainable solution" to the inlet's navigation problems dating back more than 60 years – and Governor Pat McCrory touring the area with his newly appointed DOT secretary and pledging to fast-track state help for the inlet and N.C. 12 on Hatteras Island – members of the Outer Banks' commercial fishing, charter boat and boat building industries have good reason to be a bit more hopeful these days.
"We're up from the last several years," Briggs Boatworks owner Sonny Briggs told the Sentinel in January. "But the inlet is not helping at all. At one time we had 20 major boat builders right here in Dare County, but the last few years boat building has slowed down. Now we're down to about six."
Asked for an update last week, Briggs had a mixed response: "The inlet is not affecting us now quite as much – but it's still not a good inlet. I think it's better than it was a year ago. The charter boat men in the last couple of months have finally gotten to where they can come and go, but they really have to know what they're doing. The problem has still not been fixed.
"I wouldn't say it's picked up considerably, but interest has picked up. More people are interested in having a boat built and more boat builders are building boats.
"When you leave Ocean City, Maryland, Oregon Inlet is seven and a half hours south. If you run another three hours you can go to Beaufort or Oriental, but that's a long day. After seven hours you're ready to tie that thing up, wash her down and get something to eat. So what you're looking for is the ability to duck in to Oregon Inlet, spend the night, get some fuel and continue on the next day. Oregon Inlet is a good stopover, but people haven't been able to do that recently. That's one reason we need a good, reliable inlet."

TMO Interview - Q&A with David Gibbons, Director of Product Marketing, Digidesign
by , 2:00 PM EST, November 19th, 2004
In professional circles, Digidesign's Pro Tools has become synonymous with digital audio recording much the way Xerox is for photocopying or Kleenex is for tissue. Other notable products exist, including Apple's Logic and MOTU's Digital Performer; however, Pro Tools is the largest single player in the market.
Irish-born David Gibbons joined Digidesign three years ago, first as the company's live sound product manager before being promoted to director of product marketing. Mr. Gibbons is not your typical suit, however. He spent several years as an audio engineer before he segued over to product management in the pro-audio space.
Recently Mr. Gibbons spoke with The Mac Observer about the genesis of Pro Tools, its position in the pro-audio world, and how GarageBand may be creating more audio junkies. Here is what he had to say:
TMO: When did you make the move into product marketing?
David Gibbons: About ten years ago, after working as an audio engineer in London, I started to work for a manufacturer demonstrating its product. They wanted specialists who had actually used the product to better explain to users its benefits and features.
My role as a product manager is to help the design and engineering team understand the attributes that people are looking for and also what gaps still may exist for new or updated products.
TMO: Given that Avid is the parent company of Digidesign, how much cross-pollination exists between the two entities?
Mr. Gibbons: Avid is based in Massachusetts, while we are based in Daly City, California. Each of us has our own product development team and computer software and hardware engineering team. However, our products are designed to work together seamlessly. You can easily transfer Pro Tools audio to an Avid [video or film] editing project, and you can export audio and video from an Avid-based project into Pro Tools.
TMO: Does Digidesign's business revolve exclusively around Pro Tools, or do you offer other pro-audio products as well?
Mr. Gibbons: Pro Tools is the largest part of our business, and most of the things we make work as peripherals, allowing you to do more with Pro Tools. Some products do not require Pro Tools in order to run though, and one of these products is called DigiDelivery, a networking product that allows you to deliver large files -- be it Pro Tools or any other kind -- that works as a replacement for people using FTP transmission, or sending actual physical media back and forth.
In May, we announced our entry into live mixing and processing with a new product called VENUE. VENUE brings many of the most attractive features of a Pro Tools system to live mixing, and also allows you to make live recordings more easily, We showed this product to the public at two major tradeshows in London and San Francisco, and so far, it's getting a terrific response.
TMO: The Pro Tools system is composed of both a hardware and a software component, much like Apple. Do you feel that part of the reason Pro Tools has been successful in the pro-audio community is because you provide users with the whole widget?
Mr. Gibbons: Yes, absolutely. Many of the alternatives to Pro Tools require you to buy a standalone application, find a piece of hardware it can work with, and then pair the two together to try to achieve the same results. In many cases, integrating products from different companies means that you don't get the quality of performance you had hoped for -- a problem you can eliminate by choosing our combined offering.
TMO: When did Pro Tools first arrive on the market, and how has it impacted the way people record audio?
Mr. Gibbons: In 1985, the company introduced a product called Sound Designer, which allowed you to take your multitrack -- probably an analog multitrack in those days -- and make changes. You could easily modify the master to alter the length of tunes or add in extra choruses or verses. It didn't serve as a replacement to an analog system in the way that Pro Tools does today, but that was the genesis of it all.
Pro Tools was introduced in 1991, and initially, it could only record eight to sixteen tracks. This wasn't enough to replace what people were doing with analog multitrack, but over the years Pro Tools has expanded to the point where it can do everything analog systems can, and more.
TMO: When did that transition point happen, in which Pro Tools took over the analog studio?
Mr. Gibbons: It was gradual. There was this transition period, where people were using a combination of Pro Tools and traditional analog multitracks. Then at some point, they realized: "We don't really need the analog multitracks anymore. We can do it all with Pro Tools."
TMO: When Pro Tools first was launched, was it a multiplatform product, or did it start out either on the Mac or Windows?
Mr. Gibbons: Pro Tools started on the Mac. At the time, the Mac OS was very much the platform of choice for professionals in all kinds of media -- which I guess it still is. And in the beginning, Pro Tools was pretty expensive, to the point that only professionals really could afford to purchase it.
TMO: Would you say that Pro Tools LE is more geared towards PC users, while the full version of Pro Tools still is weighted toward Mac users?
Mr. Gibbons: The functionality is the same on both platforms, but I think the ratio of Mac to PC users you've described is true. There are a couple of minor differences between the Mac and PC versions, but it's primarily the same. You can choose to use it on both platforms should you want to.
Of course on the whole, more people have PCs, which is why we expect Pro Tools to spread to the PC over time. Nevertheless, we try to make sure that new versions and upgrades of Pro Tools come out within a few weeks of each other on both platforms and that there aren't any major functional differences between the two.
TMO: How has OS X affected the Mac version of Pro Tools? Have you found that a lot of people have made the switch?
Mr. Gibbons: In general, we haven't found a huge difference in performance going to OS X. We did some engineering to make sure that the functionality would essentially be the same, and we were already working within limits on the performance that were determined by factors that are external to the operating system used.
For example, you could get 192 tracks of recording and playback at 48 kHz with Pro Tools because that is the bandwidth of the digital engines that we have built. So that factor just remained the same in OS X.
At the same time, people do see a performance benefit when manipulating the UI (User Interface) through OS X because its technology allows for faster redraws. And the faster processors on newer Mac systems that run on OS X also make a difference, of course.
TMO: If a musician records something using a competing product -- say MOTU's Digital Performer -- can Pro Tools translate the file? Or are Pro Tools and its competitors more or less proprietary in nature?
Mr. Gibbons: It varies quite a lot. There are some standards for file exchange. One of those is OMF, which is a system that Avid developed to provide an open standard for media interchange. It has since been superseded by a new platform called AAF, which describes the session and the way everything relates to everything else in terms of time.
Much more important than the audio files themselves is determining how these files have been edited, cut up, and recorded. This information is much harder to translate because it is often stored outside of the audio file itself.
TMO: What is your take on GarageBand?
Mr. Gibbons: I thought it was a great introduction that would increase interest in making music on the computer. A portion of those who use GarageBand most likely will graduate to something that offers greater functionality.
Apple's Soundtrack is a more capable version of GarageBand, while Apple's Logic targets people with professional needs. But some people will move to Pro Tools from GarageBand -- and that's a good thing. You can use Mbox [the hardware component of Pro Tools LE] as an audio input or output for GarageBand. People can buy a Pro Tools system and use it in conjunction with GarageBand.
TMO: What is your group doing to promote Pro Tools to GarageBand enthusiasts?
Mr. Gibbons: We don't have any specific marketing plan for GarageBand users. We sometimes do joint promotions with Apple -- in fact, we just completed one that demonstrated how you can use Pro Tools on practically any computer, along with the range of configurations available. This includes Logic as well as Pro Tools, for those who want to do something a bit more professional than they can with GarageBand.
A lot of people are using Logic on a Macintosh in conjunction with our Pro Tools DSP hardware. So even if they aren't purchasing the software, they are buying the hardware -- and that works for us as well.

I've recently joined the group Chess Assissans who currently are organising a team match against the Electronics team. I'm a member of the Electronics team and have signed up with them to play against the Chess Assissans. Now I'm a member of the Assissans that should make me ineligible to play in this team match as I'm now a member of both these groups. However I'm still listed as playing this team match, remember I signed up to play with Electronics before I joined the Assissans group. This match hasn't started yet as vacanies are still being filled. I understand that if you're a member of both groups you're not able to join the match. Am I right to assume that the software should automatically exclude me from this match now I'm a member of Assissans as well. Not a big deal as I'm more than willing to still play this match with the Electronics team but just curious. Maybe there's a glitch in the program that needs to be corrected to exclude people from still particiapting in these matches. Any feedback appreciated especially from staff. Thanks.
I dont think the software will automatically kick you from a team match that you have already successfully joined. Just like if its a match for 1200-1600 only, you can join if you at 1577. but lets say you win a bunch and your rating goes over the limit. I know it doesnt kick you then.
p.s. It may be a very ethical decision to withdraw from the match.
That's the way I read it, msoewulff. I seem to recall that you could originally play in BOTH teams. When this loophole was closed, we came to the present situation - where you can't play in EITHER team. (You CAN temporarily leave one group THEN join the other team.)

5 Miami Dolphins Players on the Roster Bubble Entering Preseason Week 3
Miami Dolphins Preseason Week 3: 5 Players on the Roster Bubble
The Miami Dolphins are looking like a player in the AFC through two preseason games, but these five players may not last much longer once the team looks to cut down to the mandatory 53-man roster within the coming weeks.
Tyler McMullen is a Miami Dolphins writer for RantSports.com. Follow him on Twitter and "like" him on Facebook, and add him to your Google network.
5. TE Michael Egnew
5. TE Michael Egnew
A former third-round pick, Egnew is surely on the bubble and has been for quite some time now. With TE Charles Clay on the bench recovering from a nagging injury, the team has been using Egnew as their "joker" tight end to replace Clay, but don't be surprised if Egnew is cut once Clay returns. The former Missouri Tiger has made little to no impact for Miami and has shown little promise when given in-game opportunities to shine.
4. OLB Jonathan Freeny
4. OLB Jonathan Freeny
Freeny was on the Week 2 edition of Miami players on the roster bubble and can thank the emergence of undrafted rookie free agent Chris McCain for remaining on this list. McCain has unseated Freeny as the team's second-string outside linebacker with rookie Jordan Tripp and has looked like the top candidate to challenge OLB Philip Wheeler for his job. Freeny has shown little impact this preseason and may not remain in Miami much longer.
3. S Don Jones
3. S Don Jones
Similar to Freeny, Jones was on this list last week and remains on this week coming in at No. 3. Unlike Freeny, however, Jones is on the list simply because he has looked awful thus far and has been outshone by players such as Michael Thomas and Walt Aikens. Jones is one of the team's special teams aces, therefore this would be quite a difficult decision to let Jones go. But when push comes to shove, it very well could happen.
2. WR Matt Hazel
2. WR Matt Hazel
Hazel has yet to make any sort of impact for Miami through the air and was never really seen as a lock to make the 53-man roster anyway. The sixth-round pick will likely be cut shortly in favor of players such as Damian Williams, Kevin Cone and Armon Binns. Hazel does have practice squad eligibility, but he may be claimed off waivers before Miami is able to place him on their practice squad.
1. RB Daniel Thomas
1. RB Daniel Thomas
Oh man, where should I begin with this one? Thomas has been the fanbase's whipping boy for the past two seasons now after being known as the team's "power-back" yet running softer than a cream puff. Thomas does have the talent to be a successful NFL back, but his time is coming to a close in Miami if he cannot put together a solid outing against Dallas this Saturday night. Damien Williams, an UDFA, may take his place.

The draughtsman's contract
Profile: Michael Jeffries; The architect who leads Britain's biggest firm of consulting engineers has a date with the stock market. Richard Phillips reports
Sunday 09 June 1996
He will need those ambassadorial qualities to the full over the next two months. Jeffries finds himself stuck on the City treadmill, ahead of a stock market flotation later this summer in plans announced last week.
His next task, on thoroughly unfamiliar territory, is to introduce the near-60-year-old firm and his colleagues to potential investors.
It should be third time lucky. A first flotation attempt, in 1990, was grounded after 35 of Atkins' employees, working as road engineers, were stranded in Kuwait, following Saddam Hussein's invasion.
"It was," says Jeffries, "pointless to even consider a flotation, when the lives of our employees were at stake."
Another, in 1994, came to nought, after market conditions proved unsuitable.
Despite his enjoyment of the job in hand, he admits to some mixed feelings. The notion of repeating the same message dozens of times does not thrill him. The usual caravan that accompanies such an exercise, however - merchant bank Schroders, alongside Cazenove as the broker, and City analysts, institutions and journalists - should find little to worry them.
Over the past five years since Saddam threw a spanner in Atkins' works profits have more than doubled, to pounds 19m from pounds 8.8m in 1991; fees last year came in at pounds 196m, up from pounds 154m the previous year.
Jeffries took over as chief executive last year, after his predecessor Colin Haylock left, following a boardroom split over the flotation and future strategy.
City investors will also be intrigued by one other unusual feature: employees own the bulk of the shares, with a third of the staff accounting for almost 60 per cent of the shares. The sellers are the original family owners, with their remaining 20 per cent stake, and the company's pension fund, which controls the other 20 per cent. Employee ownership has proved a powerful factor in the group's success, says Jeffries.
It is a long way from his birthplace of Jarrow. An unmistakable trace of Geordie in his voice - which gains full force whenever he returns to his native Tyneside - belies a cosmopolitan upbringing. At the age of nine, he was whisked off to Trinidad, in the Caribbean, where his father was chairman of a group of paint companies.
After school, and A-levels in maths and physics, he returned to London and the then Northern Polytechnic, where he enrolled on the arduous course to qualify as an architect. "My father, and his father before him, were engineers," he says. But he opted for architecture, as a bridge between the practical bent of his family, and his own strong interest in the arts. It took him nine years, including one day off a week, after he joined John Laing in the early 1960s for his first job.
He paints watercolours, which he sells through local galleries and fairs near his home in Kingswood, Surrey, an easy drive from the firm's headquarters in Epsom - and also plays the piano. His other interest is clocks, which he repairs himself.
Even so, there is little of the architect-aesthete about him. And he picked up from his father a strong engineering ethic, which has stood him in good stead at WS Atkins. He says of his own numeracy: "It's the only reason I think I have survived at WS Atkins." An imposing presence may also help, and a love of the variety management brings.
Founded in 1938 by Sir William Atkins - whose presence still casts a shadow over the company - it was his entrepreneurial style that set the tone for the company.
Jeffries' own instincts in this vein, however, were not satisfied in the early 1970s, when other jobs included a brief spell at London Transport. "I got in and out of there very quickly," he recalls.
Now 51, Jeffries joined Atkins' architectural firm in 1975, and by 1978 was head of the practice, with 150 staff beneath him. But it was as a business-getter that he made his name at the firm.
In the late 1980s he was transferred full time to business development - which involved lots of travel with the firm's worldwide spread - and in 1992, he was appointed to the board as marketing and business development director. Within just three years he was appointed chief executive - a meteoric rise, albeit interspersed with boardroom ructions.
As a business-getter, Jeffries was in the right place at the right time when Haylock departed, and graciously lays much of Atkins' recent success at the door of his predecessor.
Much of that growth has been organic, but Jeffries is keen to build by acquisition. In January, Atkins bought Faithful & Gould, a leading quantity surveyor, for pounds 21m and the flotation will make further such expansion easier.
Unlike many professions, much of Atkins' success derives from financial discipline, evident from its ability to ride out the recessions of the late 1980s, and early 1990s. For example, the company takes a vigorous line on accounting for project income. No profits are taken until a project is at least 50 per cent completed - a temptation which architectural firms especially have been susceptible to.
A comfortable cash cushion of pounds 85m suggests the discipline has paid off. It also gives Atkins the muscle to invest in projects itself, including the Government's Private Finance Initiative. Jeffries believes the bad press the PFI has had is unjustified. "We've applied our brains to it, we believe we can make money from it, and we are the preferred bidder on several projects." The firm has won its first contract - to build a new prison at Bridgend, in Wales, with Securicor and Costain.
The Thatcher years were good for WS Atkins. The disposal of Britain's major state assets proved an unexpected boon. Many companies that relied on public sector work for their bread and butter were squeezed. WS Atkins has flourished, however. Its network of government contacts, from Whitehall through to the big nationalised industries: rail, steel, electricity and nuclear, to the Ministry of Defence, and the Property Service Agency, have paid off in the new era.
Further afield, Jeffries is especially proud of the Chicago Beach project in Dubai, a man-made island which is the focal point of a $700m (pounds 455m) luxury tourist resort - although its design would be enough to make any self-respecting post-modernist shudder. Never mind: with WS Atkins enrolled as architect, engineering consultant and construction manager, it should prove a profitable venture.
Jeffries says the public sector still accounts for over half of revenues - but the emphasis is increasingly on private sector business, especially in the area of support services. Many are high-profile and politically sensitive. Nuclear waste disposal - the company manages the Dounreay nuclear site - the Channel Tunnel, and the Saudi Arabian Al Yamamah defence project suggest the company needs skills other than just engineering expertise.
Jeffries shows a diplomatic reticence answering questions on such topics. Of the difference between doing business in the private sector and with government, he says: "One has to understand the differing types of accountability within government, which is quite different from the private sector. And, as ever, you have to understand your clients' business. You must also understand how decisions are made, but I don't think it is possible to influence those decisions."
A tactful reference, perhaps, to former transport minister Archie Hamilton, a paid consultant to the firm, and whose activities were highlighted in the wake of the Nolan Report into MPs' private interests. But nor should that deter the City.

Gauge of U.S. business spending plans edges higher
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Jason Lange | January 29, 2013 3:21 AM EST
A gauge of U.S. business investment plans improved in December, a sign companies were betting the economy will pick up despite fears over tighter fiscal policy.
The Commerce Department said on Monday that non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, a closely watched proxy for investment plans, edged up 0.2 percent last month.
Many economists expected businesses to invest more timidly late last year because of uncertainty over government spending cuts and tax increases, which had been scheduled to kick in this month. Congress ultimately struck a last-minute deal to avoid or postpone most of the austerity measures.
Despite the uncertainty, Monday's data pointed to growing economic momentum as companies sensed improved consumer demand.
"It certainly seems to us that companies are slowly but surely expanding," said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment officer at Solaris Group in Bedford Hills, New York.
In a further sign of business confidence, the November reading on capital spending plans was revised higher to show a 3 percent gain, up from the 2.6 percent rise reported a month ago.
A second report showed a measure of upcoming home resales took a breather in December, declining 4.3 percent. Still, the housing sector posted a rebound last year and economists expect it will add to growth again in 2013.
The business spending data pushed down prices for U.S. government debt, while giving the dollar a lift against the yen. But stock prices opened lower.
New orders for overall durable goods - long lasting factory goods from toasters to automobiles - jumped 4.6 percent in December, beating economists expectations of a 1.8 percent gain.
The gains were broad based, with orders for machinery, cars and primary metals all increasing.
"There's a lot more confidence," said Wayne Kaufman, an analyst at John Thomas Financial in New York.
Orders surged for civilian aircraft and military goods, although those two categories tend to be quite volatile.
Despite the stronger-than-expected demand at the nation's factories, economists think economic growth cooled in the fourth quarter as companies slowed the pace at which they re-stocked their shelves.
Analysts polled by Reuters expect a report on gross domestic product due on Wednesday will show the economy expanded at a mere 1.1 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter, down from a 3.1 percent rate in the previous three months.
However, Monday's report on new orders for long-lasting factory goods suggested businesses are feeling stronger demand from consumers, and are responding by buying more machines to meet that demand. TD Securities economist Millan Mulraine said capital investment likely added to economic growth in the fourth quarter.

Berlin gripped by family feud over sausages
BERLIN (Reuters) - Call it the battle of the bangers. A family feud over sausage succession rights is adding some spice to Berlin's summer.
This week, after months of bitter legal wrangling with his mother, Mario Ziervogel opened a fast-food outlet serving Berlin's famous dish, the currywurst - fried pork sausage sliced up and smothered in ketchup and curry powder.
His shop is just a few blocks away from his family's restaurant, Konnopke's Imbiss, one of the city's most famous eateries because it was the first to introduce the currywurst to then-communist East Berlin in 1960.
Hungry Berliners would queue for up to an hour to buy the spicy sausage in communist times and Konnopke's remains a popular tourist destination to this day.
Ziervogel's mother Waltraud, 76, has sued him for wanting to name his new outlet "Ziervogel's Cult Curry - since 1960". Her lawyer Fabian Tietz argued that the son, 48, was not even born in 1960, let alone serving sausages.
The local court ruled on Tuesday that Ziervogel could keep the name for his new restaurant but must drop the year.
"In this regard, Ziervogel was anti-competitive," Tietz told Reuters. "We are glad that we won."
The son's lawyer, Christian Weizberg, also claimed victory, saying the mother had also wanted to prevent him naming his shop Ziervogel's Cult Curry.
At the court hearing, Waltraud Ziervogel revoked her son's inheritance rights and said she would hand over the reins of the family business instead to her daughter.
"In the end, it will be for the clients to decide whose currywurst tastes better," said Weizberg.
On Thursday, under the headline "The new currywurst invasion", Germany's best-selling daily Bild said four new outlets serving the snack, including Ziervogel's, had opened in Berlin in the past week alone.
The dish is said to have been invented by the late Herta Heuwer in 1949 after she obtained ketchup and curry powder from British soldiers based in West Berlin.

Not too many threads about Cyprus, but I hope that someone can help?

AR - your title does not mention Cyprus so it is likely most people who have knowledge of the Island will not see your question. I would probably start a new thread with a title something like "Suggestions for family (inc. 6 yo child) visit to Cyprus?"
Report Abuse
OTOH, I spotted it... Paphos is the area I know best and I would have thought that the mosaics, St John's pillar, the harbour, and some of the Templar castles would be the thing.
The mountains are well worth a day trip or two- but not for the history especially.
Aphrodite's Rock, of course. Yeroskipou for the delight.
Nicosia is wonderful for a tour on foot in the old quarter.
When and where are you going and staying?

Thanks. This message was posted by my wife - hence the title!! Sorry.
We are actually staying in Paphos, so I assume we have made the right choice.
Can rental cars be taken to the North?

New super-Flash chips to run on SiOx, not graphite
Stateside chip boffins say they have developed a radical new method of building memory, which will smash through the "brick wall" that Moore's Law is about to run into. The underlying technique was thought to be dependent on the use of graphite, but in fact this has now been shown to be untrue. A plucky grad student studying at …
Whats the catch?
What's the catch? This is a possible memory unit that ticks pretty much every conceivable box. It seems as though it can be made relatively easily using currently existing techniques, from a low cost and abundant material, has the capacity to made in 3D for high density storage, and the ability to make gates considerably smaller than they are now? This is more or less the holy grail of memory. Surely this is way too easy whats the catch?
Paris, 'cos she knows the catch...
Switching signals involves converting electrical energy into heat. Compact switch layouts have less area to dissipate the same amounts of heat. 3D structures have even more problems getting the heat away from the switches. Two ways around this are to use less energy per switch transition (which raises other problems in itself such as thermal and electrical noise swamping the signal) and the other is to use materials and switch technologies that don't degrade when hot (which causes knockon problems with packaging and assembly technologies -- a ceramic-encapsulated chip that can run OK at 400 deg C will desolder itself from a conventionally-built planar).
But surely ...
... a smaller switch requires proportionately less energy.
Nobody believed him.
Good job that guy. Pint for you, mate.
