Creative Aurvana Live! Headphones
"BEST VALUE FOR MONEY Finally I can send my Superlux 668B where they belong - into the trashcan. Due to a discount at the german Creative store website, I was able to order the Aurvana Live for 49€ (equals ~62$). Optics/Haptics Lots of plastic, but seems durable and well crafted, also nice to look at. Dueto the little weight and the well adjustable headband, they're superbly comfortable, even..." --TStarGermany
Creative Aurvana Live! 2 Headset with 40mm Drivers and In-Line Mic
"Sound Quality Straight out of the box, it sounded great, pretty much like the original CAL!. I've done over 100 hours of burn-in. DAC is FiiO E10. As I mentioned in one of the posts, it reminded me a lot of Sennheiser HD 25-1-II. This can be a headphone for people who really appreciate bass (bassheads included). Is this a neutral can? No, but it is definitely a fun can with a..." --kingpage
Creative Aurvana In-Ear3
"I recently broke down bought the creative aurvana 3 iems from micro center for $87 after tax. If you love the sound of a smooth mid centric iem with neutral bass and non fatigue on the highs, these are the best deal I have come across. I have always been a mids lover but now I'm really a mids head. I have had experience with many dual armature iems I own Both the sony xba2 and the ue700. To my..." --drockmalone
Creative Headphones EP-630
" They're a cheap set of IEMs with decent sound for the £10 price. Not much more to say. " --TheJesusGuy
Creative Aurvana 2 In-Ear Headphones
" Comfort and Fit: This pair is very comfortable in the sense that their presence in your ears won't be very noticeable. I fell asleep a few times while listening to music through these earphones, so thats all I can say about them. For fit however, I had to use the largest size of earbuds to fit it into my ears. Isolation isn't very good though because background noise can still be heard even..." --hawk9598
Munitio SITi S Nine Millimeter Earphones - Dark Silver
" These seem to have fallen out of favor in the last few months. I don't know why. Maybe it's because they're not "audiophile" level gear. I mean, it works out in my favor because I got them on the cheap, but it's kind of sad for Munitio. I want to sing their praises from the rooftops personally. I would have been happy to have paid full price, and maybe a little..." --benzoylmethyl
Creative Labs 51MZ0310AA005 HS-800 Fatal1ty Gaming Headset (Black)
" While a little put off by the branding (I personally think Fatal1ty is a tool), I've always been a Creative Labs fan and took a shot on this headset. I have been richly rewarded. My headset gets an average 8-9 hours of use a day in the winter months, and 3-4 during the rest of the year. They have performed flawlessly, with rich sound and surprising durablity. ..." --Marcain
Munitio Call of Duty COD MW3 Special Edition 9mm Earphones With In-Line-Mic MW3 B-MW3-002 Billets
"This is my first review on headfi. I recently joined and although I love headphones and music, I don't have much technical knowledge. I was looking for a good pair of earbuds to use with my cellphone, as well as during workouts etc. This one fit my needs perfectly, had great reviews on amazon and wasn't very expensive. The package includes a carrying pouch, earpieces (S, M, L), earhooks ..." --sonomics
Creative Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Sigma USB Gaming Headset
" No other headphone has surprised me in the manner that the Tactic 3D managed to. I originally purchased them because I needed headphones to do a Skype interview, and I wanted something kind of ridiculous and flashy, because I was going to be on video. The Tactic 3D seem like a perfect choice, with flashing LEDs on each ear cup. When I first hooked it up, I..." --imagic
Technical Pro HPT990 Professional Headphone
" Expanding on the pros, other likes- - These cans are pretty comfortable imo, with the velour pads and soft headband. I havent had any problems with pressure points on the headband, and have been able to wear them for several hours on end without much fatigue. Clamping force is just right. Tighter than, for example, a Creative Aurvana Live, but looser than my FA-011s. Fairly light weight. -..." --kidcharlemagne

June 30 (Bloomberg) -- Chile's peso strengthened for a fifth straight day as rising copper prices bolstered trade prospects in the metal's top-producing nation, and speculation that Greece will avoid a default on its debt increased demand for riskier emerging-market assets.
The peso advanced 0.5 percent to 467.22 per U.S. dollar at 2 p.m. New York time, from 469.73 yesterday. The currency decreased 0.5 percent in June.
"As copper rises, the peso will continue pushing forward, especially if other drivers are promising," Mauricio Olivares, a senior currency trader at Scotiabank Sud Americano in Santiago, said in a telephone interview. "The imminent bailout in Greece has also helped the peso's strong showing."
Copper, which accounts for half of Chile's exports, gained as much as 1.5 percent today in New York, reaching the highest price since April 28.
Greek lawmakers backed a bill to authorize implementation of the government's 78 billion-euro ($113 billion) package of budget cuts and state asset sales.
Approval of the bill was needed before the cash-strapped nation can tap a fifth loan payment from last year's 110 billion-euro rescue by the European Union and International Monetary Fund.
Chile's central bank paid an average of 468.56 pesos per U.S. dollar for $50 million as part of a $12 billion effort to limit the peso's gains, according to data posted on the bank's website.

Lego upsets parents by producing guns for children's play sets

For generations its products have been seen as providing harmless fun - it was even said that for years it refused to supply green bricks in case boys used them to make tanks.

But critics accuse it of changing its stance, partly because of tie-ins with big-budget films and partly to counter the challenge of action-packed computer games.
The new versions of its Star Wars Stormtroopers now carry guns so large they can hardly hold them, despite the previous ones having nothing more alarming than a torch.
The company's latest Batman sets also include semi-automatic pistols and Tommy guns.
And its futuristic Bionicle robot creations are armed to the teeth with blades and blasters.
Lego fans and members of The Brickish Association, which bills itself as forum for adult fans of Lego, say there has been a clear shift in policy.
One senior figure in the association said the company had used semi-realistic guns in the past, for pirate sets and those for cowboys, but nothing like those seen in its Star Wars and Batman products.
"Lego's take on creating weaponry has changed over the years," he said.
"My understanding is that the philosophy of the founding fathers of the company was to be non-violent and not to include realistic guns.
"But as they have got more realistic sets and sets that are licensed with big films, there has been an acceptance of guns.
"I very much hope Lego is not being dragged along by a trend for more violent toys and games.
"The philosophy of the company is very family friendly, non-violent, play."
Huw Millington, who runs the Brickset website, said: "There has been a change in emphasis with more realistic-looking guns. It may be that the tie-up with Hollywood is to blame.
"Some people say the brand has gone downhill since it signed licensing deals with big films, but personally I don't agree."
Lego said the Star Wars accessories were changed to make them closer to what fans saw on screen.
A spokesman added that the company, which was founded in Denmark in 1932, was careful about its policy on guns, saying: "We would still never make modern warfare weapons."

Chicago retailer celebrates lobster
By Christine Blank, SeafoodSource contributing editor
Published on 26 August, 2012
Sunset Foods' annual Labor Day lobster sale for the first time includes a three-course dinner with lobster boat captains as guests.
The five-store Chicago-area chain's annual Maine lobster sale runs from 29 August to 2 September. "Last year, we sold 6,100 pounds of lobster and this year, our goal is 7,500 pounds," said Dan Humphrey, seafood director for Sunset Foods.
This year, Humphrey and Sunset executives decided to add a gourmet, three-course dinner to the event on 31 August. The USD 75-per-person dinner will be prepared by the chain's chefs to promote its "Thyme in the Kitchen" cooking classes. The 26 guests will learn now to cook lobster, shell it and prepare a lobster salad, and prepare lobster bisque. "We had seven people signed up after one day of marketing the dinner. People go out to eat for lobster, but don't know what to do with them at home," said Humphrey.
The menu includes: a lobster bisque shot, Lobster and Corn Salad with Tropical Lobster Spring Roll, a 1-¾ pound Maine lobster accompanied by Yukon Gold Potato Salad with Beer Dressing and Apple Cherry Slaw, and Coconut Lime Napoleon. Three different wines will be served as well.
Lobster boat captains from Portland, Maine, will be guests at the dinner and visiting Sunset's stores, sponsored by the chain's lobster supplier, Portland-based Ready Seafood Co.
Meanwhile, Sunset Foods has been advertising the lobster sale for six weeks in its circular, via in-store posters, and on its website and Facebook page. Whole Maine lobsters will be on sale for $10.99 each, steamed or live. "We found it easier to price by 'each', rather than putting them on a scale," said Humphrey.
While Maine lobster quality has been down this season, the wholesale price is holding steady compared to last year, said Humphrey. "We are not saving much money on them, probably 45 cents a pound this year," said Humphrey.

The Glendale Senior Citizens' Club will watch "The Way" in the clubroom on the lower level of Glen Hills Middle School, 2600 W. Mill Road, Glendale. The showing will begin at 1 p.m., Wednesday, November 28.
The film is a joint venture between Martin Sheen and his son Emilio Estevez. When his son dies while hiking the 450 mile Camino de Santiago, a medieval Christian pilgrimage across the Pyranees in Northern Spain, an American doctor (Sheen) goes to retrieve his body and ends up hiking the trail with a motley collection of lost souls. These include an overweight Dutchman seeking to regain his wife's desire, a Canadian fleeing domestic abuse, and an Irish travel writer suffering "writer's block."
Nonmembers are always welcome at club events. For further information, call (414) 540-2100.

ipod-stuff.com, good luck with your endeavors.
Not trying to be harsh, but you could use some help visually. The site looks kind of cluttered and needs some framing. The color scheme could use a little more contrast, but I do like the blue!
Hope you're okay with a little constructive criticism…

Posted by rivlinm on March 17, 2004 at 9:15 PM (CST)
looks like ipod-stuff needs someone to teach them how to be original… just a big ripoff of ipodlounge, down to the sections. why bother starting a site if it's identical to what someone else is doing?
Posted by Silvia on March 18, 2004 at 12:04 AM (CST)
The website is nothing like iPodlounge.
First of all I know the template is kind of hard to read. The colours will be changing and you will be able to choose a template out of about 10 different ones so that you can select the style you like.
It is not a big rip off of iPodlounge because iPodlounge also uses the same systems as us and most of them are standard PHP features and we will be adding a lot more liek the skin changing, an online iPod chat room and lots more.
We will begin work on adding new skins. Plus the skin at the moment only works with some resolutions so everything will be changing. ;)
Posted by Scott Newham on March 18, 2004 at 4:03 AM (CST)
If the site isn't done (which it obviously isn't, hence you're making excuses for it), than why is it online and being promoted? Usually it's smart to finish it first, before releasing it to the world…
Posted by Nathan on March 18, 2004 at 7:02 AM (CST)
what the feck is wrong with you people ... can't you give the site a chance, somebody is trying to do something constructive and all you can do is shoot it down, you should be ashamed of yourselves ... why don't you offer a hand of help, offer ideas and artcles, news. Stop beings such negative no hopers and give the guy a break. For fecks sake.

What are you on about ... it's THIS site that's copying the rest of the internet. ipoding.com is where it's REALLY at!
These guys just thought they could make a fast buck from SHITLOADS of gratuitous paid advertising, bordered by this lame ass out of date made up news.

iPod-stuff.com has not openned as a source of income. We have other sources of income. There will be a few adverts on the site but they will be put on there to sustain the website and keep it running.
Not sure what you meant by "it's THIS site that's copying the rest of the internet. " but iPod-Stuff.com has tried to be completely unique and will add loads of new features to try and keep this up.

Scott -
The layout really is hard to read - that blue background needs to go - but what bothers me the most is the writing. Typos, misspellings, loads of comma splices, and other sloppy technical errors detract from what you're trying to do and give the whole site an unprofessional feel.

Williams presser
Coach WIlliams talked to the media today--haven't heard much from him lately, but man, I get pumped hearing him speak. He was very high on Andre Carter--his skills, his excellent off-season work, etc. And he said some great things about Rocky--he gets off blocks as well as anyone he's seen. Good Stuff.

Re: Williams presser
GW is looking and sounding good, is it just me or has he lost some weight??
Re: Williams presser
Yeah, He definetly looks slimmer.
Re: Williams presser
The more I listen to this guy the more I'm convinced he's going to be one hell of a head coach someday. Hopefully it will be with us.
Re: Williams presser
The guy does seem to say the right things. I do like the team concept he pushes. I am looking for good things
Re: Williams presser
in buffalo he sounded just as confident while making bad football decisions :/
BB (in NE) turned it aroun after being bad with the browns, so there's some precedent that coaches can improve drastically.
Re: Williams presser
man i hope your right because he has more or less been annoited head coach here after coach gibbs leaves. i cant wait to see mcintosh because i think with his talent he has a bright future with the skins
Re: Williams presser
How long was GW coach in Buffalo? Two years? IMO that is not enough time to judge a coach's ability. However, in the NFL that is about all the time you get.
I also think GW will make an excellent head coach some day...he just needs some time.
Re: Williams presser
in buffalo he had a good D and a bad O which was at least partly his fault. I figure he's actually learned from gibbs though and hope he'll be better his 2nd time.

The ACADEMIC SWISS CAUCASUS NET (ASCN) is a programme aimed at promoting the social sciences and humanities in the South Caucasus. Those involved in the programme believe that their participation encourages constructive debate on society, which in turn contributes to the region's transformation process. The programme's different activities foster the emergence of a new generation of talented scholars in the South Caucasus. Promising junior researchers receive support through research projects, capacity-building trainings and scholarships. The programme emphasises the advancement of individuals. Emphasis is also placed on international networking, thus promoting sustained cooperation among scholars based in the South Caucasus and those based in Switzerland.
The ASCN programme is coordinated and operated by the Interfaculty Institute for Central and Eastern Europe (IICEE) at the University of Fribourg. It is supported by GEBERT RÜF STIFTUNG.
Initially, the programme focused primarily on Georgia. It was then extended to include Armenia in 2011.
Eastern European Day 2014 - "Two Cities in One Church"
The Eastern European Day takes place at the University Fribourg on 12-14 November, 2014.
The topic of the academic event is focused on today's situation of the Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. The two most populated states of the post-soviet space – Russia and Ukraine – belong to the canonical territory of the Russian Orthodox Church. Having a lot in common in their culture and history, the two countries seem to choose different ways of geopolitical orientation. The tensions between Ukraine and Russia increased recently.
For more information please click here.
Start of new Research Projects in Social Sciences - Georgia and Armenia
The ASCN Programme selected six new research projects from its call this year. The projects will start at the beginning of October 2014 or November 2014 respectively and fall under one of the following umbrella topics:
1. The South Caucasus and Europeanisation - institutions and actors
2. What holds societies together? Consensus, conflicts and integration in the South Caucasus

A lack of acceleration and top speed was quickly identified as a big weakness of the new RCV1000R, which is Honda's entry in the new Open category, designed specifically to bolster grid...

How sweet
Thing is, I didn't ask for a rambling whine about fuel. Just a simple answer to whether you should be able to charge one team 1m to buy a bike that has the same level of performance as the bike you've been charging another 3m to lease? Your refusal to answer I couldn't care less about, just confirms you pursue your own agenda. Next ime you're passing your local BMW dealer, pop in and tell them you'd like a 320, but with all the go faster bits from the M3, but for 318 money. I'm sure they'll do you one.
And don't keep quoting me on the spirit of the rules as I've said umpteen times that what Yamaha have done is within the rules.
What they didn't do is a simple statement of fact. Produce and sell a lower spec version of their prototype for 1m which is what Dorna asked for. They've leased a full power version of their prototype, last year's Tech3 lease bike, for an as yet undisclosed sum, a sum I'd bet on being more than the original 800,000 engine deal.

you say the status quo will always remain that of best riders on best bikes with biggest budgets? Make up your mind!
That Aleix factory Yamaha with the big tank was only ever supposed to be a Forward with a FTR though wasn't it.
Herve's remained very quiet since Qatar don't you think? He must be having a hell of a job making peace with disgruntled sponsors.
Wosi, it's Nakamoto San that has to justify a racing budget to his bean counters, not you. I'm picking R&D remains a big component in that sales pitch. It's a foolish man that says 'never'; the cars of tomorrow (or Google today) promise to drive themselves in just this manner.
what was expected from the RCV1000 was what Aleix is doing with the Yam getting it amongst 'em. Shake up the status quo - give the series a bit of oomph!
Come on, you've been here before. That bike was never intended to be. It's happened through circumstance.
Honda did exactly what they were asked, a low spec production bike for 1m. Yamaha took a different approach, not what Dorna wanted but they coaxed them into allowing it. The whole point was to allow a team to own a bike, not lease it and have to give it back leaving them with nothing for their money.
Yamah wouldn't sell their engines as they were providing the latest spec (which they aren't if it doesn't have a seamless gearbox - which it won't if it's last years Tech3 spec) They didn't want their technology copied so they would only lease them to retain control.
So on top of the M1 lease cost of 800,000, there would be other costs for the chassis and other parts. Way over the 1m Honda were asking for the sale of their bike. When they have to give the engine back, they're left with an rolling chassis which is only good for another M1 engine.
The deal Forward ended up with was never for a complete M1, contrary to what you and others seem to think, and it's time you took this into consideration before comparing the performance of the two. Honda provided what Dorna asked, Yamaha didn't, but what they ended up doing is nothing illegal.
I'll leave the last word for Jarvis when talking about the proposed engine lease deal last year, before they'd even announced which team would be leasing them. Does this sound like leasing a full spec M1 was their original plan?
The Yamaha units are far from cheap while offering dependable performance, and increasing the number of M1s is only unnecessary costs and would be the exact opposite of Dorna's efforts to cap the racing expenses.
Jarvis said that

...a chink of comprehension from The Orange side methinks..power, politics and money
Nostro says..
Thing is Nostro..HRC are staying..with a Dorna spec ECU..controlled electronics..
They threatened to quit the MotoGP class, without the abilty to develop their own electronics for R&D..lean burn trickle down to save the planet.
Safety was paramount too, electronics helped riders avoid accidents..corner by corner, location based mapping was essential - ahem.
The corporate bean counters would sign off budgets to go racing if there was quantifiable Return On Investment.
A caring green tinge to the orange..a globally responsible outlook..doing the right thing by their customers..
Then how come they still want to go racing, when the reasons they were allowed to have that budget have been removed?
They told anybody and everyone they would leave..WE'LL QUIT! they howled from the roof top.
There must be another reason for wanting lean burn 20 litre racing, 5 engines a year and banning testing then?
Wouldn't be anything to do with brand awareness at the top of the most prestigious race series would it?
Selling bikes and dominating markets the world over?
Squeezing the competition and building bikes that fit into a pecking order?
I'd be interested to hear your views?
Sounds like you accept and resign yourself to corporations trying to impose Big Brother with us all being passengers on/in personal transport?..If true, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Don't worry Bulto..this is a bit out of your depth. I'm not expecting a positive contribution.
Thing is just about all the things you mention have come to bear in the commercial marketplace with technological advancement. For better or worse we have significantly improved MPG bikes with far longer service intervals and a plethora of electronic wizardry on fairly mundane retail motorcycles. MotoGP related? The manufacturuers say so.
That spec DORNA ECU just gained a whole lot more programmability didn't it. So much so that's it's too sophisticated for the teams the damn thing was aimed at to use! Leveling the playing field or adding a few more whoop-de-doos?
I can assure you Wosi, Nostro is no fan of big brother. In the real world I've often stuck two fingers up in his face. Not always to my benefit mind. Ha, ha!

Loopholes is the way of the world I guess. Clearly the Apsar Yamaha is not in the same league as the RCV1000R, but stiff shite. Things will sort themselves out in a few years, and it's not like any of these Open bikes has really got a chance of winning anything other than a pole-position on a set of soft tyres. Having said that if I forked out a million to get a dud I'd be pissedorf.

It must be a case of going 'green' and nothing to do with costs........a fuel and engine limit just means the R&D has to go all out to extract the most power out of a lean burn engine, while making it as reliable as possible, so where is the cost saving. There is virtually no limit on the development of the chassis and the rest of the bike, but that has nothing to do with green issues has it.
is the natural order.
You can't lay the improvement of material & component technology on a pedestal at the door of GP and claim racing is the catalyst?
Manufacturers incorporate new commercially available technology into their product as it becomes available.
Honda don't build silicon chips and sensors.
Nobody races lap-tops and mobile phones..but they improve by the month?
The traction control, anti wheelie and other electronic systems on production bikes are in the dark ages compared to the location based, race specific, adaptive applications in MotoGP.
Turn by turn code that learns as it goes in order to make 20 litres and tyres last 20 laps around the same 15 corners of a track, is irrelevant to you and me on the road.
The above rules advantage those that can..with the deepest pockets.
Flat stick flag-to-flag racing has been replaced by an economy trial/durability competition where, riders trust systems and have to use them to go faster, or they won't make the end of the race.
Why don't manufacturers showcase this technology in an environment that is relevant?..like endurance racing? Because it has no prestige and value for their brand.
So let's change the rules of MotoGP to suit our agenda and create an advantage for ourselves at the same time.
You use switchable TC and a softer engine mapping on your litre sports bike and it chops power, making you slower.
A racer who utilises all this electrickery should be penalised, because it it's filling in the holes his ability shouldn't need to rely on at this level..
25 years ago I was getting 55mpg urban out an old carburetted, two-valve, air-cooled GT550.
If manufacturers were really serious about lean burn emission reduction, we'd have High Pressure Direct Injection systems like Honda have on their cars..20 year old technology that hasn't made it to bikes yet.
Why not? Too expensive to implement and unnecessary..bikes are pretty green by comparison and regular fuel injection will do.
How can Yamaha, who spend all this money in GP developing computer controlled intake systems, release a bike like the new MT-09 with flat spots and glitches in its power delivery, that threaten to de-rail sales?
If you honestly believe Dorna will allow their SPEC ECU to be used by Factories to continue developing sophisticated, mega expensive code, while at same time allowing more fuel to negate the need for such..you really are living in cloud cuckoo land and seem to be missing the point entirely.

Drum roll please...Wells Sports Complex now has coin-operated machines for the HEATERS above the stands! The machines are located by the lost and found outside of concessions. We tested them out tonight and they are sweet!!!
Please mark your calendars for the next fundraising meeting on Thursday, December 4th at 6pm in the EAJHA Office. This meeting is VERY IMPORTANT in that we need many people to help with specific jobs related to pond hockey and eventually Districts. Pond Hockey is the biggest fundraiser we have, and there is much work to do to make the weekend a success! Please check out the poster outside the EAJHA office for volunteer opportunities. Call Kim with questions: 399-4501
The Mites to Men Pond Hockey Tourney is our biggest fundraiser and is scheduled for Jan 30-Feb 1 on the bay in Escanaba. There will also be a Mites Jamboree on the pond the same weekend. These events take MANY PEOPLE to make them a success, so please think about what you can do to help your association. Information on volunteer positions is posted on the wall outside of the EAJHA office. Volunteering for this event counts toward fulfillment of your volunteer hours and taking on a specified position counts as 100% fulfillment of volunteer hours. The next fundraising meeting will be at 6pm in the EAJHA office on Thursday, December 4th. It cannot be stressed enough how much we need help preparing for the event--not just at the event itself!
A quick 2 weeks after pond hockey, EAJHA is also honored to be hosting the Peewee Districts at the Wells Sports Complex February 13-15, 2015. As you may be aware, it takes a village to host an event such as this and we want to represent our organization well. If you are interested in heading up a committee for this event, please call Kim 399-4501. Some volunteer opportunities for this event include: organizing raffle baskets, making creative and welcoming personalized items/signs for each team, 50/50 raffles, and much more.
This month's EAJHA board meeting will be held this Wed, November 12th at 7pm in the EAJHA Office due to scheduling conflicts at the Wells Township Hall.
A couple of dates to remember: Fundraising Meeting this Thursday at 6pm in the EAJHA office at the rink and Viau's Meat Sale orders can be picked up any time at Viau's starting this THURSDAY but before the 15th (they were running a little behind). Thank you!

Usually hot girls have other hot friends, unless said hot girl wants to look even hotter and surrounds herself with ugly cows. Well Selena Gomez has enough self confidence that she can have super hot friends. Enter Haley King. The remarkably busty girl has been seen with Selena at various vacations and functions. Haley recently went skydiving and did it correctly, tight tank top with breasts popping out. F*ck those body-covering garbage bags they give you, Haley has boobs and then don't deserve to be hidden. I would have to believe that Haley King had a very uncomfortable skydive experience since her instructor had his boner digging into her back the whole way down.

I've been poking around at some of the documentation for Google's Android project. I've seen a couple of the code samples, read through a lot of the SDK documentation and I've even checked out a couple of YouTube videos, including this one:
I also highly recommend that you check out the 3 architecture videos that you can find on YouTube. One of the engineers on the Android project takes us on a detailed walkthrough of the architecture of the platform, how applications work, and even shows us how memory, processes, activities, and state are managed.
So here's what I've been able to take away as highlights from what I've read and seen:
Notifications. Application code can be woken up when certain important events take place. This is something that I really liked about PalmOS in that it could wake your code up and do things necessary and then shut your code back down when the event had passed. It's a cool feature, but it's basically a requirement for any mobile operating system. The downside is Windows Mobile sucks in this arena. The iPhone, Android, and PalmOS all have it beat there.
Content Provider. Applications are apparently allowed to share data amongst each other. The contact database is a good example of this. Let's see - where did I first see a really good implementation of shared application data such as a calendar store, a contact store, a shared to-do list....? Where... where... oh yeah... Mac OS X. (which includes the iPhone)
Use of platform services, create an instance of the Intent class to register an intent to do something. Late-bound picking, e.g. you can replace the photo gallery default with a new, fancy one. This seems like a pretty intriguing concept. I like the idea that there's a platform service to "pick a photo" and you can consume this service and be (reasonably) assured that you'll get a photo selection back, or you can create your own photo selection service provided you conform to the requirements of a platform photo picking service. This looks like a pretty good development opportunity here.
Activities and state management. Feels like a miniature/mobile, specialized version of workflow foundation for suspendable/resumable applications. A while back, I remember writing a blog post on how the Windows Workflow Foundation was a great tool for writing applications that needed a particular process to be halted and then resumed at will. The Android implementation here seems to be borrowing a lot of really good concepts from workflow management systems and frameworks. As with everything, it's all still theory at this point since there are no devices running Android in the wild yet.
XMPP - any app send device-to-device messages to any user running android app. Apps can send multiplayer messages like moving a knight from a location to a new location. A user can send their location to their buddies so their buddies can see where they are. Works with any gmail account. Also seems like a really cool concept, but we'll have to see how this plays out in what I like to call, the "real world".
Notification Manager - allows any app to put a notification into the status bar. Apps can notify you when an auction is ending or when someone added you as a friend on a social network. Also looks like a cool feature.
So in short, I've come to a conclusion. It looks as though the core framework of features that Android provides for developers is a pretty robust feature set. It's damned unfortunate that said feature set is accessible only through Java. In February of 2008, developers are going to get to choose whether they want that same feature set (give or take a few) accessible through Objective-C or whether they want it accessible through Java. Also in February, they'll get to choose whether to target 1+ million live and active phones, or some unknown number of potential phones that are not on the market yet. Or, developers can continue to target the insanely huge market share of Windows Mobile developers.
My money is on targeting iPhones and WM devices until Android actually shows up live and in the wild on more than 500,000 devices.
Also, don't be fooled about the Android developer challenge. That's not $10million in prize money, that's a $10 million bribe in order to obtain the critical mass of engaged developers they know will be required for anything useful to come out of the Android project. If they don't have truckloads of developers begging to get their apps onto the phone, their framework will fail and all the mobile partners will go back to business as usual.

I am glad to see the moves to open mobile devices to any application. In particular, as a thought leader in unified communications (UC) for business use, the lack of open, personalized, multimodal devices ("smart phones") has been a big obstacle for exploiting the flexible UC capabilities that IP communications can support.
You may want to read my recent comments on exactly enterprise organizations can exploit multimodal mobility to make business processes more efficient. They have been published on TMCnet, UCStrategies.com, as well as on my blog site mentioned above.
Open mobile OSs, combined with multimodal device form factors, will clearly change the legacy world of telephony for both business users and consumers. (By definition, consumers, as customers, are also business users!)
Best regards,

The Internet of Things will greatly expand the opportunities for data collection and new business models driven off of that data. In her session at @ThingsExpo, Esmeralda Swartz, CMO of MetraTech, discussed how for this to be effective you not only need to have infrastructure and operational models capable of utilizing this new phenomenon, but increasingly service providers will need to convince a skeptical public to participate. Get ready to show them the money!

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.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

We just got done posting our complete NVIDIA SHIELD review, and like clockwork, iFixIt has posted their form of a review – a complete device teardown! The teardown is a great way of seeing exactly what is inside the SHIELD, making it such a powerful gaming machine. Besides NVIDIA's Tegra 4 processor, we get eyes on with some Samsung memory chips, SK Hynix RAM, the SHIELD's interesting battery configuration and the springs that control the triggers. Remember, don't try this at home. (more…)
Google Glass Not Exempt, Gets the Teardown Treatment
While I wouldn't be caught dead tearing down a $1500 piece of hardware, there are others in this industry that live for the opportunity. Just like all of the other top tier flagship devices that have launched over the years, Google's Project Glass recently met up with the teardown treatment. Using some special screwdrivers and tools, the device was broken down, revealing all of its insides and hidden gems. No unicorns or buckets of gold were found, but I guess that is to be expected.

On a positive note, they gave it decent scores for repairability. Well, except for the glass, which they recommend you take good care of as it won't be easy to replace should you crack it. (more…)

Hello everyone and happy Monday! I just ordered some gorgeous gift wrapping paper books by Pepin van Roojen from Pepin Press in Amsterdam. I just have to share them with you. I found them when I was ordering more origami paper and they popped up in a search. I love the Kimono patterns. I want to see more Japanese papers used in decorating and gift wrapping so perhaps this will be trending soon, who knows? I love the prints and patterns in Pepin's books and hope you will too.
To find these papers, go to Amazon and search under, "Pepin van Roojen", and type in "Kimono Gift Wrapping Paper Book" or "Art Noveau Gift Wrapping Paper Book" and see what you come up with. She has released many of these books including themes for Barcelona, Turkish designs, India, Florals and more.
There are so many fun and creative projects that you can use these for. Here is something creative that I whipped up lately – maybe you can try it too?

I was so excited when my friends, Gudy and her boyfriend Christopher, told me all about their love for fashion blogger and illustrator Garance Doré last month! I'm a bit slow… To think that I started decor8 a million years ago (so embarrassed, sorry guys!) yet know so little about fashion bloggers, well all I can say is that I definitely need to work a little less and read more fashion blogs!
Honestly (why do I say honestly, it's not like I'm about to lie about this!), but anyway… Honestly, outside of The Sartorialist and his two lovely books, I don't know much about fashion bloggers… I think it's because that world (fashion in general, not blogging) always felt so elitist and off limits to me. I think films like The September Issue made me feel even more frightened, not to mention what a head job shows like The City do to my view of the fashion world – s c a r y. In a way, it's almost how interior design felt ten years ago, well before we design bloggers came along and started to rip down the massive walls and say, "Hey guys, stop being so arrogant – it's just a sofa!". Now we have Garance saying, "It's JUST Chanel you guys!", in her very cute accent, and suddenly I'm less intimidated by it all.
From her gorgeous blog to her stunning photos, warm and enthusiastic writing style, fun videos and yummy fashion illos (I!know!lots!of!adjectives!and!excitement!over!Garance!) I feel I've been swept away from sofas and floor plans for a moment to mingle in this very chic world that I knew little about outside of the pages of Vogue. Through her web show, Pardon My French, Garance takes you behind-the-scenes into her life as a blogger/fashion photographer so you get to check out fab places, meet cool people (Jenna Lyons! Eep!) and sit in the front row as Garance reports from catwalks around the world in her videos. (The closest I ever got to Jenna Lyons was when her assistant told me that she would have loved to have been in my book but her home wasn't finished yet and that she knew and loved my blog, I nearly died. In fact, had I died I would have died very happy!) I digress…
What I love about Garance is that she comes across super likeable and normal – like she could be my best friend – there isn't this pretentiousness hovering around that the fashion world (haute couture at least) is known for. Her consistent point-of-view shines through both in her writing and when she's chatting away in the back seat of her car interviewing friends between shows. She is definitely very inspirational. I'm going to have to turn her into a case study for my next blogging workshop and who knows, maybe when I'm in New York for my next book tour, I'll see if I can arrange to interview her for decor8 – a girl can dream!
Through her blog, I also found out about another amazing woman, Amanda de Cadenet, who is a photographer from London living in LA who is host to the most lovely web show called The Conversation. (I love this photo that she took of Rumer Willis.) I watched every single Conversation epi over the past few weeks and I'm hooked – Amanda is my new girl crush along with Garance. Swoon!
Oh and did you see the above prints and posters? Aren't they just soooo nice? These are available for purchase online in the Garance Doré Boutique. My friend, Samantha Hahn, is one of my favorite fashion illustrators in the world (she does work for Daily Candy and even for humble little me) but Garance is definitely up there now in my top 5. I may not know fashion (as in catwalks and big labels and fashion bloggers) but I consider myself pretty with it when it comes to fashion illustrators as I've written about a ton of them throughout the years. There I feel a little better (peacock feathers spreading) because I'm not a total fashion loser.
And look you guys – I am even cooler now – I just purchased Belle De Jour for my home – lovely pony and such a sweet portrait! Woot!
SO! There you have it – you have been officially introduced to Garance Doré if you've never heard of her before and have been living under a rock for years. Enjoy! I'm off now for the day to finish up some interviews and for my 4 hour film theory class so wish me luck because I need lots of it. It's hard but I like a good challenge…
Tell me, are you a Garance fan?

While at imm this year, I briefly had a chance to look around as I ran from my lecture to the book shop – but at least I spotted a few things on my sprint! I snapped a few photos on my iPhone for future blogging and one of those photos had a pouf from GAN. Here's a glimpse of the good stuff… Runners, rugs, pillows, poufs and best of all, a totally crafty chic boho vibe.
I particularly am fond of the Mangas collection because it was designed by one of my favorite designers in the world, Patricia Urquiola, who I dream of meeting someday – she's just amazing! I love how cozy her designs for GAN look, don't you? So snuggly…

Many people have asked about using the "Battle Recorder" that was recently implemented into World of Tanks. As a note, only users that experience relatively decent frames per second, subjective to the individual user, should enable this open. While most experience no noticeable drop in performance, a select few feel as though it may effect their game client's performance to varying degrees.
The Battle Recorder by default is disabled, and so to enable the recorder, on must open their Game Menu, select Settings, and then from the Game tab in the Settings Menu, check the "Enable battle recording" option. After this, click Apply and then OK; from this point on all games that are played will be saved to your computer.
The replay files are all saved as a proprietary file type with the extension ".wotreplay". These files typical will take up anywhere from a few hundred KB to a single MB of storage space, and so are relatively small. These files are always stored in the World of Tank directory, under the "replays" sub-directory (Typically: C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\replays).
To view a replay, the World of Tanks client must be closed. Simply double click to open any replay that you wish to view and a new Wold of Tanks client instance will be opened for the selected replay. In order to determine which replay you are wanting to view, all files are stored in the format of yyymmdd_time_nationality-tank_map. Once opened, the replay will load and the game as seen by the "saving replay player" will be shown. A list of limited controls of the replay are given at the very beginning of the replay, and at the end one must exit the client to either view another or resume playing World of Tanks.
Take what you may learn from viewing your replays, and those of others as guidance to help improve your play style, viewing of combat footage has helped pilots improve for future missions since the first cameras were placed in planes, so why shouldn't you do the same thing? Review your replays to see where you excelled and where you may have come up short in order to improve yourself for future matches.

Cinematheque . Film Schedule . The Overcoat
Shinel aka The Cloak
Russia | 1926 | Grigori Kozintsev, Leonid Trauberg
USSR, 1926, Grigori Kozintsev, Leonid Trauberg
Two years after their sold-out Metropolis show at the Capitol Theatre (a Cinematheque presentation), the Alloy Orchestra returns to the Cinematheque! This time the Boston band that Roger Ebert calls "the best in the world at accompanying silent films" will lend their distinctive mix of clarinet, accordion, electronics, and junk metal percussion to two movies they have never before performed in Cleveland, both Soviet silents in rare 35mm prints. First up is their newest project, The Overcoat, which the band will debut at the New York Film Festival two days before presenting it here! This fantastical film version of Gogol's famous story focuses on a poor, unhappy clerk who becomes fixated on acquiring a new overcoat. Produced by USSR's avant-garde FEKS (Factory of the Eccentric Actor) workshop, the visually stunning movie owes a major debt to German Expressionism. New 35mm restoration from the British Film Institute. Approx. 70 min. Special admission $15, Cinematheque members $12, ages 25 & under $9 (with proof of age). Stay for tonight's second Alloy Orchestra performance (see below) for an additional $5. Advance tickets available at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/268317.
