Back to the ... drawing board: 'Hoverboard' will disappoint Marty McFly wannabes
They should have gone with hovertoasters...
People will pay to fund anything thrown on kickstarter, so long as it makes sufficiently sensationalist claims. It's an interesting project, but the hoverboard itself seems unlikely to ever become an actual product.
Compared to a simple skateboard, it's deficient in practically every way. Its biggest issue is that it can only function on certain metal surfaces, whereas the main draw of the fictional hoverboard that it's trying to play off of was that it could operate smoothly over any type of surface. The chances of there ever being specially designed copper-plated skate parks to use them in seem incredibly slim. It also appears to be much heavier and far less maneuverable than a skateboard. They also seem to have conveniently silenced the horrible ear-piercing screeching noise it makes during operation in their kickstarter videos. What's the point of a hoverboard if it's clearly worse in every way then a piece of wood with wheels on it?
As for using it to stabilize buildings, I can't see how hovering a building would work any better than existing Earthquake-proofing techniques used in modern structures, and it would probably just increase the potential for failure. And that's assuming you can even reliably hover a skyscraper over its foundation. There's probably some use for their electromagnets somewhere, but they don't seem to have any clear idea of what that might be.
Then there's this quote from their "Will it ever be affordable" question...
"Look at computers - only 15 years ago memory cost around $100 per Gigabyte; now its around $.01!"
What kind of memory are they talking about? RAM was around $1000 per GB 15 years ago, and is around $10 per GB now, while hard drives were around $20 per GB, and are now around $0.04 per GB. Neither of those add up to anywhere near the reduction in price they suggested for that time frame. And of course, their product isn't even the kind to benefit from cost-reduction due to miniaturization, making it a terrible analogy.

Re: Windows 7 with a flat theme
"But on the whole it just looks like W7 with a flat theme. (This flat scheme and colours thing is really off-putting and really not encouraging)."
This probably isn't the final theme. I imagine that they'll want it to look at least a little more different from Windows 8 to help distance it from that release. Perhaps there will be a new look ready to show off by the consumer preview in the spring.
Good grief! Have you SEEN BlackBerry's SQUARE smartphone?
It might not have a user-serviceable battery, but the large capacity should give it more room to degrade before that becomes an issue. Years down the line, when other smartphones only last half a day before needing a charge, this one should still be able to make it through the entire day with no problem.
Re: "keyboard doubles as a capacitive multitouch trackpad"
They are physical, moving keys. You should be able to tell they're not flat just by seeing how the light reflects off them in the photos here. Of course, this is a phone keyboard, so the key's aren't raised all that much, so they shouldn't get in the way of swiping.

My TIGHT PANTS made my HUGE iPHONE go all BENDY!
It's the Most Perfect Feature Yet!
Apple's patented Dynamic-Bend technology is what makes the new iPhone more perfect than ever! Apple noticed that the size and shape of lesser portable-tablets would cause discomfort among wearers of tight pants, which happen to make up a majority of their users, so they held off on releasing one of comparable size until they had its ergonomics perfected. Now, the new iPhone conforms to you, perfectly matching the curves of your body. This requires no complex setup by the owner, but intelligently matches one's shape over the course of a few days. Simply put, "it just bends".
Infosec geniuses hack a Canon PRINTER and install DOOM
Re: can it run Crysis?
Judging by the video they provided, Printer-Doom looks more like several colors of barely recognizable noise past the splash screen, so I wouldn't exactly say that the printer can run it 'playably'. I suppose what performance is there is so that it can serve it's web interface relatively smoothly though.
Game pirates 'donate' compute power to Bitcoin miners
Re: "running most game CPU usage sits at < 20%"
"If the virus writer is at all intelligent, he will know that gamers tend to notice when their game doesn't run smoothly, and will have written his virus to use the GPU when no game is running - in other words, the rest of the time."
The majority of people downloading these games likely have a dedicated graphics card in their system, and most gaming cards have a fan that audibly ramps up under load. So, the user is bound to notice this and in most cases hunt down the cause relatively quickly. It would probably go unnoticed by some, particularly those with lower-end hardware, but it's not likely to get past those who would notice a reduction in FPS while gaming.
In any case, the post was talking about the idea of companies legitimately making their games available for "free" by including mining routines in the software, as an alternative to ads or micro-transactions. It might not be a bad idea in theory, but ultimately you would still be paying for the game in the form of increased electrical use, and more importantly, the returns wouldn't be anywhere near enough to pay for the development of the game, let alone turn a profit. The developer likely wouldn't average more than a fraction of a cent per hour that the game was running on typical PC hardware, or significantly less still on smartphones or tablets, since the use of specialized mining hardware has pretty much made Bitcoin mining on a standard PC obsolete.
However, the idea could potentially be profitable for those attaching malware to pirated software, since they don't actually need to pay for the development or distribution of that software, nor do they have to pay for the electricity. They probably won't make large amounts of money from it, but installed on thousands of PCs, they could pull in some extra cash on the side.

This conversion would place the length of a brontosaurus at around 140 meters, when they are actually only estimated to have averaged around 23 meters or so in length. Even their largest known cousins didn't reach half that long. If the Register intends for brontosauruses to become a worldwide standard for measurement, they need to more clearly define their size.
Windows 7 settles as Windows XP use finally starts to slip … a bit
Re: Why is Win 8 and Win 8.1 seperated?
"According to netmarketshare their desktop OS market share data (cited in the article) covers all versions of Windows, with no exceptions being given, which seem to indicate that it includes Windows 8 phone..."
The key word is "Desktop". They have a separate list for mobile/tablet marketshare, in which the OS is specified as "Windows Phone OS 8.0" and "Windows Phone OS 8.1", so I can't imagine they would count them twice for both lists. The "Desktop" list might potentially include Windows tablets, but Windows isn't exactly a major player in that space, so it would only throw off the results by a very small amount. How the results are obtained would cause much more inaccuracy, which I touched on a couple posts up.
Re: 8 / 8.1
Windows major releases aren't really getting any more frequent yet as far as I can tell. Vista was released in 2006, 7 was released in 2009, 8 was released in 2012, and it stands to reason that 9 will be released in 2015. Aside from the 5+ years of XP, which wasn't their initial plan, and the occasional half-cycle releases like ME, they've been on a roughly 3 year release cycle ever since the very first versions of Windows. The numbering of the "8.1" service pack was really just an attempt to get people to take a second look at Windows 8 after its poor initial reception.
"The problem is though you pay for iOS / OS X through hardware purchases and Android is free, so unless Microsoft start giving away their OS I can't see many people being willing to pay to upgrade"
People pay for Windows through hardware purchases just as they do for OSX. The cost of OSX isn't 'free' after all, but incorporated into the cost of the device, just as it is for end-users purchasing Windows systems. Only a small minority of end-users actually upgrade existing Windows computers to the latest version, but that's how it's always been. "Fragmentation" of the install-base isn't really a problem outside the corporate environment, since new releases of Windows generally have very good backward compatibility with software, as far as operating systems go. And Android might be "free", but that's because Google is an advertising company profiting off their ability to track you and feed you ads, which the OS helps them to accomplish. It's not particularly well suited to a desktop or notebook productivity environment at this point either.
It is very possible that Windows may eventually move to a subscription model though, and might even offer such an option with their next major release. I would expect them to ease people into it though, like by offering the option to upgrade a computer to the latest version for $10 a year, with maybe some higher-priced tiers providing access to the latest versions of other software like Office as well. I can't see them forcing people into a subscription model right away though, as there will undoubtedly be many businesses and individuals who won't be interested in an operating system that's constantly changing. A subscription model could be a reasonable business plan for the future, as hardware takes longer to become obsolete for many users. That, or they could specify that all Windows computers require a non-serviceable battery pack with a five year life span. : P
Re: Why is Win 8 and Win 8.1 seperated?
8.0 and 8.1 arguably should be counted together for the purposes of the graphs here. It's a free update, and aside from the update method, it's not really very different from some of the relatively large changes made in service packs for prior Windows OSes.
HOWEVER, it should also be noted that it's extremely unlikely that both added together would reach anywhere remotely near the actual install base of active Windows XP systems. Remember that these numbers are derived from Internet stats based off trackers on certain public websites, so they're not going to include systems only accessible from internal networks, or those that see little to no web use. Additionally, the stats by Statcounter are based off total page views rather than unique visitors, so systems that see the most web browsing use, which tend to be consumer systems, will end up greatly overrepresented. Statcounter is also only used on around 2.5% of web sites, so it can't see the vast majority of the web. Meanwhile, Net Applications is installed on far fewer sites still, and it doesn't release much information on how it comes to its numbers, though they seem to be based more on estimates of unique systems rather than page views.
Neither web-tracking service is likely to be a particularly accurate way to measure the relative install-base of various operating systems though. They undoubtedly overrepresent certain geographic regions and demographics of users, while underrepresenting others. The best you can say is that within the sample obtained, these are the results they came to, but without knowing exactly what that sample consists of or what those methods are, the results are of limited use.
If you know the sampling method and demographic on the other hand, the results can be a lot more meaningful. For example, Steam's Hardware and Software Survey likely provides a reasonably good representation of systems in use by the core PC gaming market. In that case, approximately 60% are on Windows 7, 28% on Windows 8/8.1, 5% on Windows XP and 2.5% on Vista. Additionally there's around 3% on OSX and 1% on Linux. This is useful information for someone looking to develop a game or piece of gaming hardware. Of course, it's not at all representative of the wider operating system install base, since it's almost entirely based on data from relatively new consumer systems used for gaming. Web trackers like Statcounter and Net Applications target a more diverse audience, but you still need to remember that they undoubtedly misrepresent worldwide systems as a whole by a pretty wide margin, and it's extremely difficult to determine just what demographics they do cover.
Good luck with Project Wing, Google. This drone moonshot is NEVER going to happen
Drone delivery is so last year. Much better options are now possible. We're about to open a Kickstarter for a completely REVOLUTIONARY new delivery method, called Dropit. Inspired by FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES we wanted to complete a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, ORIGINAL delivery system.
Currently we don't have a fully working prototype, but here's a computer rendering of what we envision the device to look like...
Re: You've got it all wrong....
This is pretty much what I was thinking (right down to the title).
Google isn't interested in making deliveries. They're interested in getting up-to-date, high-resolution aerial photography without requiring a fleet of spy satellites. Toss a flock of drones with download-pointing cameras over each major city, and you have maps that are constantly up to date. If they fly at a high enough altitude with zoom lenses to reduce distortion, they won't need to worry much about object avoidance either. They can just circle around the city all day like aerial Roombas.
NASA to reformat Opportunity rover's memory from 125 million miles away
Re: Dust removal
"Not scratching the surface" is kind of a silly argument. If the option where to either A) Have the entire surface covered in dust and lose the rover, or B) Have the solar cells get scratched up and lose 10% of their efficiency, I think it's obvious what the better option would be. I'm sure the dust buildup has a far greater effect on performance than scratches ever would.
Of course, the real reason was likely that their goal was to make a rover that would last at least 90 days, and within that time frame, dust buildup probably wasn't their biggest concern. During the initial planning stages, they may have figured that other components would be more likely to fail first, like from dust damaging motors and such. In that sense, the other components might be considered to have been overengineered, seeing as they held up far longer than necessary. And they probably did consider the possibility that gusts of wind might clear off dust, even if it wasn't something that was guaranteed.
In any case, actual "wipers" probably wouldn't have been the best solution anyway. Some sort of tiny air compressor or compressed air canister would probably work better. Or even just a clear plastic sheet covering each panel like a screen protector, that could be peeled back once with an attached wire in the event that dust became an issue.

Google flushes out users of old browsers by serving up CLUNKY, AGED version of search
Re: What pleb uses Opera 12 still?
The "new Opera" is largely pointless. If you like it, than you might as well be using any other Chromium derivative, as it's ultimately just a re-skinned Chromium with a few extensions built-in and a few other features missing. The real reason Opera moved to Chromium was simply to save face when they discontinued their browser suite. Rather than admit that desktop Opera has been discontinued, they released a low-maintenance hack based off an open-source program to take its place while they focused on mobile. I wouldn't count on them ever restoring most old features of the browser. And really, the main thing Opera had going for it was its extensive feature set and customizable UI, both of which were dumped in the Chromium version. People stuck with Opera despite the occasional site incompatibilities because of it's feature set. The "new Opera" might have roughly the same site compatibility as other browsers, but that's the only thing it has. It lacks almost everything that made the browser worth using over the competition.
"A quick look at their Desktop Blog comments, and it's a VERY small minority of users that are EXREMELY vocal."
It's probably a small minority because most others gave up hope and abandoned the thing long ago. I switched to FF as my primary browser last year, after using Opera for many years, and haven't really been visiting their development blog since. Just looking at various web stats, you can see that desktop Opera is on a continual downward trend in terms of its userbase, not counting the mobile browser. Most long-term users won't be interested in the new browser, as it's "Opera" in name only, and the previous versions can only hold up for so long. The only way I'd likely consider coming back to Opera as my primary browser is if they open-sourced their old desktop suite as "Opera Classic" or something.
Re: Obnoxious
I only have a couple Gigs of RAM on this older system, and unfortunately, Firefox does seem to be very wasteful of memory. This is more of a concern when you work with relatively large numbers of tabs, where the browser can end up using all your available memory rather easily. Tab grouping helps, but I get the impression that the browser is wasting some resources for tabs that aren't even loaded. On the other hand, Chromium-derivatives seem to be even worse at efficiently handling large numbers of tabs, so it's not like there's a decent alternative. Some older versions of Opera are far better at managing lots of tabs, but they're outdated and have performance issues in other areas at this point. It seems like after the big "browser war" rush of a few years back, things have kind of stagnated in terms of performance and features in recent years, despite there being lots of room for improvement.

Muslim clerics issue fatwa banning the devout from Mars One 'suicide' mission
They have a point...
Actually, in this case, you kind of have to agree with them, or at least agree that seriously applying for the Mars One "mission" is probably a bad idea. It seems extremely unlikely that Mars One will manage to land anyone on Mars in the next decade, if ever, and if they were to somehow do so, there's little chance that the "colonists" would remain alive for long. Even if they somehow manage to make the landings happen, there simply isn't enough time to perform the necessary tests to make sure things work as planned and people will be able to survive the trip as designed, let alone an extended stay afterward. Then there's the predicted budget, which might seem like a lot, but is really quite low considering what they claim to be trying to do. $6 billion to set up a manned colony on Mars? The Apollo program cost over $100 billion (adjusted for inflation) to send a handful of manned missions to the moon, which is a much easier feat to accomplish, and that was without the need to set up a colony or keep people alive for more than a couple weeks round trip.
The way this is likely to go down is that we'll see the reality TV show pop up within the next couple years, complete with nonsensical eliminations and voting and drama, and the show will last a few years, during which time the important parts of the mission necessary to make it happen will be continually pushed back and finally cancelled for lack of funding. I suppose if someone's an attention-whore who can pretend to be willing to risk their life to go to Mars, this could be a reasonable way to get attention, but for anyone else, it's probably mostly a waste of time.

Treasure hunters dig up LOST RELIC of dead Steve Jobs
Re: Plunderers
I was thinking that as well, but a quick search turned up that the capsule was actually intended to be opened in the year 2000, likely as a sort of millennium event, but they apparently lost track of exactly where it was buried, and didn't want to dig up the whole yard. So, it actually ended up being buried much longer than intended. Here's an article I found from a few years back that provides more details...
Apparently there was a muffin and beer in the capsule too. For some reason, they didn't make the news headlines though.
4K-ing hell! Will your shiny new Ultra HD TV actually display HD telly?
Re: These are not the pixels you are looking for.
"Try quantifying bitrate and encoding system in a manner as easy as 'More Pixels' - it's hard to explain to someone nontechnical (almost all 4k TV buyers will be nontechnical) why their current HD picture looks so bloody awful."
For transmission quality, they could simply use the bitrate in megabits per second, such as 5 Meg, 10 Meg, etc, much like how the quality of downloadable music is advertised, in terms similar to what's used for broadband. Perhaps if someone wants to pay extra for their streaming video service to use a 30 Meg transmission, they can have that option.
Of course, this isn't really all that useful to TV manufacturers, as it's related to transmission quality rather than display hardware. For them, telling people they get "FOUR TIMES THE PIXELS!" is what they're trying to market 4k on, whether or not people will ever see those pixels. Netflix might be planning on offering a 4K stream at 15 Mbps, but compressed Blu-Rays at 1080p already offer twice that amount of bandwidth. The increased resolution might provide a slightly sharper image, but that will only really be noticeable if you sit very close to a large screen. At typical television viewing distances you would need a massive wall-sized display to notice a significant difference, and that's not something everyone needs. The move to HD was a significant upgrade that provided a noticeable boost in quality on even average-sized screens, but 4k's potential benefits mostly just apply to the high end, making widespread adoption unlikely in the near-future.

Naked Aussie gets wedged in washing machine
Re: Bah!
We recently got a new quiet energy-efficient dishwasher, and it works quite well. Sure, it takes around 2 to 3 hours depending on the settings and how long the sensors determine it should run, but the length of time generally shouldn't be a problem, since you'll typically be running a dishwasher between meals or overnight. It also offers a quick, less-efficient 1 hour mode as well though, in case you need something right away. Whether you pre-rinse your dishes before putting them in likely makes a difference in cleaning performance as well. Also, at least in the US, recent environmental regulations have made many detergents not perform as well as they used to, so it's generally not recommended to use the powdered detergents anymore, but rather the tablets and gel-packs. The detergent formulas likely vary from country to country though.

Hosting outfit goes PERMANENTLY TITSUP after 'lifetime' plans kill biz
Re: Lifetime plans
My thoughts while reading the article were that this sounded like a scam, or at least a very poorly thought out business plan if they actually intended it to be sustainable. I'm sure the company's founders made a lot of money off of it before things imploded, leading me to think their goal was simply to bring in quick money with an unsustainable business model while tricking their customers into thinking they'd have a service that would last them for years. At the very least, they could have given their users more than two weeks notice that their "lifetime" plans would be ending. Even most free services give their users months of advance notice when shutting down. The company had to know for quite a while that their income was unsustainable.
Even so, anyone thinking of purchasing these plans should have been suspicious. One should be wary of a startup company offering "lifetime" access to their product. Really, the only time a "lifetime" model would really work for a business is if it's for something that lacks significant reoccurring costs, or where they'll be able to easily upsell the user to another service in the near future.
Ninten-DOH! Japanese giant slashes Wii U sales forecasts by 70%
@Daz555 "The new consoles from MS and Sony have finally made the move to a 1080p native resolution at a decent framereate and this is a huge jump from the low res, upscaled games of the PS3 and 360 generation."
No they haven't. The vast majority of games on the Xbox One are getting upscaled from 720p, and from around 900p on the PS4. Over the course of the console generation, as developers try to push more demanding graphics out of the hardware, these resolutions are likely to drop further, as will the framerates. The resolutions will likely stay higher than they did last generation, but still won't make use of the full resolution of standard 1080p screens for more than a handful of big games.
Of course, I agree with your main point, that even-higher resolution consoles won't be seen any time soon. As much as television manufacturers would like to sell people 4k screens to replace their existing 1080p ones, they simply aren't necessary in most viewing scenarios. Not everyone needs a massive screen covering their wall, and for more common television sizes and viewing distances, the difference in sharpness will be virtually invisible. It's hardly like the move from SD screens to HD ones. Because of this, it's unlikely 4k source material like movies, television and games will become common any time soon.
Yep, this exactly summarizes the problems the Wii U has faced. The Wii sold great because Nintendo was selling to a new market of more "casual gamers" in addition to its usual fans. The problem is, these people don't keep tabs on new gaming hardware. They mostly learned of the Wii through word of mouth, for which the console's name "Wii" was memorable and unique. From its first announcement, I could tell the new console's name was a mistake, since these more casual gamers will have difficulty differentiating it from the Wii. Even the console's logo looks pretty much identical to it's predecessor's, aside from the barely identifiable U shape to the upper right of it. To them, the new console is just some sort of overpriced touchscreen add-on for the machine they occasionally play bowling and party games on. The benefits of such a controller aren't exactly as easy to determine as those of the original motion controllers, so they are unsure of how exactly such a device will offer anything over what they already have. And for any of these casual gamers who did pick up the Wii U, they undoubtedly found it lacking in the game department. For a long time after launch, Wii Sports, the series that likely sold them the original console, was nowhere to be found. It took a year after the console's launch for Nintendo to release anything Wii sports related, and that only came in the form of two sports available for Wii Sports Club, where people are expected to buy or rent updated versions of the individual sports that were available in the original game, as they become available. So rather than having a pack-in Wii Sports title included with the console, these casual users are expected to figure out how to purchase them through Nintendo's online store.
Meanwhile, for those more familiar with gaming, the new console seems like a repeat of what the Wii had to offer them last generation. The hardware capabilities are much improved, but still only marginally better than what the prior generation of consoles from Sony and Microsoft had years ago. The controller is interesting, but there aren't really many games that make good use of it yet. And meanwhile, Nintendo remains a bit behind the other console makers in terms of non-gaming features. Many also recall the dearth of decent third-party games available for the Wii during its latter years, and suspect the same will happen with the Wii U, perhaps even sooner due to its slow initial sales. The only thing they expect to get out of it are Nintendo's core first-party games, and Nintendo hasn't shown them all that much on that front yet. They still haven't shown a new Zelda, Metroid, F-Zero, or Starfox. It's certainly possible Nintendo might turn this around over the course of the next year though.
Of course, the Wii U still could benefit from another price drop as well. The current pricing is closer to the Wii's launch price, but the console lacks momentum at this point. I suspect there will be another price drop at least by the next holiday season. A basic Wii U for $199 USD or $249 for the premium version with a pack-in title would be a much more attractive price point for both casual gamers and those looking to get one as a second console. Even if Nintendo is losing money on each console sold, they'll make that back on the inevitable sale of a couple Nintendo exclusives, and it would help build their install base to keep the third-party developers from abandoning them.
Learn to read tables, Reg! : P
"It also pruned the predicted sales figures of its portable 3DS from 1.8 million to 1.35 million units."
I suspect you weren't paying much attention to the text at the top of the table that reads, "sales units in ten thousands". That should be a sales figure revision from "18 million to 13.5 million units", ten times the quantities you reported. While their sales prediction for the last year may have been a bit overly optimistic, the 3DS is actually selling quite well, especially compared to Sony's Vita, which is selling slower than even the Wii U. The 3DS has already sold around 43 million units worldwide over the last three years, and is definitely still going strong.
Google stabs Wikipedia in the front
Re: "Google has not been able to dredge up anything really useful for a long time now"
It's not just the results either. The interfaces of their sites are going through the floor. For everything they improve, something else gets made worse. And recently, they've been forcing unwanted Google+ integration into all their sites. Google has long since abandoned the simplicity and usability that made them popular to begin with in favor of coercing people into using their services to further their goals of monopolizing the connected world.
Re: New year's resolutions
Is this a big potato or a small potato? What kind of potato is it? Does this include the skin, that you may or may not be eating? Google's quick result gives "163 calories" for "1 Potato medium (2-1/4" to 3-1/4" dia)". According to the detailed nutrition information off to the side,such a potato weighs "213g". Interestingly though, clicking through the first search result also provides the nutrition facts for a presumably equal-sized "1 potato medium (2-1/4" to 3-1/4" dia)", but says it's only 129 calories and weighs 173g. They at least provide the information that these values including the skin though. So, which is closer to a typical-sized medium potato? Should I trust the site Google most recommends, that specializes in providing nutrition information for various foods, or Google themselves, who leave out key details and tack on a photo of a mysteriously deformed heart-shaped potato that looks like no potato I've ever seen before? Either way, you'll probably want to weigh your potato, then divide and multiply to extrapolate the estimated calories in your particular potato to derive any semi-accurate results, since Google doesn't appear to let you add the specific weight to your search query to calculate that automatically.
Desperate MS flaunts UNDEAD SPLAT TALLY to pep Xbox One fans
Re: Bit spooky
It's been like this for years, on all platforms. How do you think achievements are tracked? If a game has an achievement for killing X number of enemies or using an item a certain number of times, those stats are constantly getting uploaded while you are playing the game. It doesn't matter if its Sony, Microsoft or Valve, if you're playing games on a system that's online, they're recording the exact time periods when you are playing each game, along with all sorts of stats about how you play those games. If your user profile is publicly viewable, much of this data is available to anyone wanting to monitor and catalog it for themselves.

You also have the option of disabling them, by turning off voice commands in the game's options. I think it's a pretty amusing feature, actually. Putting it in more games could do a lot toward trolling all the twelve year olds who think they look big by swearing at others in online games. : P
Also, it sounds like that "skype ban" thing was just a myth. What people can get banned for is uploading gameplay videos that get reported for excessive swearing, which is against their terms and conditions you agree to. That's not to say such calls aren't being recorded, but the same could be true for call through any service.
I do agree about not liking the idea of having a camera and microphone always watching though. However, that's not just limited to Microsoft. Do you really trust the front-facing cameras and microphones found in smartphones and tablets?
Re: Tell us who has won .....
It's also possible that Microsoft and/or Sony have hundreds of thousands of consoles stockpiled in warehouses in an effort to artificially boost perceived demand. If your console is sold out at stores this holiday season, that will create the impression that it is in demand and flying off the shelves, even if the actual reception is a bit more lukewarm.
Re: Come on Gabe Newell @ VALVe
One thing a lot of people don't seem to realize about SteamBox is that it's based on Linux, and unless a game's developer releases a Linux port of their game on Steam, you won't be able to play it natively on the system. Native Linux support is still not all that common among big game releases. Valve offers Linux versions of many of their games, but even they haven't released ports of games like Portal 2 and CS:GO for Linux yet, though I suspect they'll have those by the release of SteamBox. But among games already released by publishers who don't have a vested interest in SteamOS, it's quite unlikely they'll invest the millions of dollars necessary to port their previously released games to Linux. So, most of your existing Steam library won't likely run on SteamOS. Apparently, there will be the option to run games on a windows system and have the video stream to your SteamBox over your home network, but this is obviously not an ideal solution.

'This BLACK HOLE just isn't BLACK AT ALL' snarl boffins
In case you didn't notice, much of the Register's headlines and articles use bits of language intended to be mildly amusing. And who are you to say that their typical readers are " technically illiterate"? It's a long-running technology news site, so I suspect that most of their regular visitor's level of scientific knowledge is above average. Think of it more as a somewhat nerdy person calling their friend a nerd in good humor, than someone doing so in a demeaning way.
Winamp is still a thing? NOPE: It'll be silenced forever in December
Re: And a lovely player it was
I skipped version 3 of Winamp, as it performed poorly and had some functionality issues. Thankfully, Nullsoft abandoned it as well, and the following year released Winamp 5 based off version 2's codebase, but with most of version 3's additions replicated. There's also since been a "Winamp Lite" released, that cuts out many of the side features added over the years.
As for the other bundled garbage that can get installed with it, that just requires going through a custom install to avoid those things getting added. That can be a bit more tedious, but it's not like you really need to reinstall Winamp frequently. Many people get along fine using versions of the software that are years old. Existing versions of Winamp will continue to function fine for many years to come, so I expect it to continue to be used for quite some time into the future, even if it is no longer actively developed.
Apple Schill-er: 'I was shocked - SHOCKED! They went and copied the iPhone'
Re: Hmmm....
So, Apple made a smartphone that looked nice, so no one else is allowed to make a smartphone that looks nice? The iPhone was little more than a PDA with a phone built in, which had been done before. They just packaged it up to look nice and be a bit more consumer-friendly. If we get into their claims that aspects of their user interface were "stolen" by their competitors, it should be noted that Apple's own company was largely built on copying OS features "borrowed" from others. If it were some small company having their product design copied by a big company, I could see, but an industry-leading corporation should expect their competitors to iterate off of their product designs. It makes for a healthy, competitive market in which the consumer wins.
Flying 360° panoramic camera poised for lift-off
Re: 36 cameras
I was thinking the same thing. Using wide fisheye lenses, this could technically be accomplished with as few as six cameras. You would need high quality lenses to avoid blurriness at the edges though, which would increase the cost, and such lenses would need to protrude from the surface of the device, making them likely to get broken. 12, or maybe 16 cameras with just moderately-wide lenses would be more practical. However, I suspect the creators of the device were looking to keep costs down, and as such, they appear to be using lower-end off-the-shelf cell phone cameras, which tend to have a rather narrow field of view. In bulk, such cameras might only cost a few dollars or so each, so using 36 of them may actually cost less than using fewer cameras with wide-angle lenses added.
This is a neat idea, though the image quality doesn't seem particularly great. The combined resolution is good, but the images appear prone to exhibiting blown highlights and color casts. I also suspect that most tosses will result in unusably blurry images, and that the "tough clear plastic case" won't survive a missed catch over a hard surface. They really should have made the areas between lenses out of a soft foam or rubberized honeycomb material, seeing as the device is intended to be thrown. It does provide an interesting view with minimal effort though, so I'm sure many will be willing to overlook the fact that it's a $500+ camera with mediocre image quality. If one were willing to do some manual editing in an image stitching program, better results could be achievable with multiple shots from a regular camera on a tripod, though of course getting a top-down view would be harder, and you wouldn't be able to capture an instantaneous moments in all directions.
The distortion in that image is because they stretched a 360 degree view into a flat rectangular image. There's no way to get around that short of viewing the image in spherical form. It's similar to how a flat map of the world greatly distorts the shape and size of landmasses the closer you get to the edges, while a globe does not. The only way to fully get around that in a continuous image is to map it to a sphere. For panoramas, a sphere can be simulated on-screen showing only a portion of the image at a time, such as with QTVR, or the similar tablet app shown in their video. So long as the field of view is set correctly, edge-distortion shouldn't be noticeable when viewed that way. You can't expect to have a flat photograph showing everything around you without significant distortion though.

HELIUM-FILLED disks lift off: You can't keep these 6TB BEASTS down
Re: Helium is a finite resource
Helium is a finite resource just as natural gas is a finite resource. And aside from a small portion of natural gas deposits with elevated concentrations of Helium, it typically only appears in relatively trace amounts. Once it escapes from containment, it rises to the upper atmosphere and is lost into space. Creating Helium in a laboratory environment is prohibitively expensive for large-scale use. Sure, Helium might not become rare enough in the next couple decades to be an immediate issue, but eventually its price is bound to rise to a level that will impede its use for many scientific and industrial purposes.
Re: ...another completely inexperienced poster.
Sure, he may have been exaggerating, but you can't just look at the maximum continuous throughput as a measure of the relative performance between the two technologies either. Mechanical drives are still as abysmal as ever at access times, where they haven't really improved much over the years. If you're just using the drive to read huge files, this might not matter, but small files and random accesses will slow the drive's performance to a crawl. In terms of access times, SSDs can in fact be hundreds of times faster than traditional hard drives. The real-word performance results are not quite so extreme, but you're still looking at performance many times that of tradition hard drives for most purposes.
Of course, he is completely ignoring the fact that SSDs still cost many times as much per gigabyte, making them unsuitable for backup media or mass storage, which is something you could have pointed out. In situations where random read performance isn't an issue, the over 10x cost of SSDs probably isn't worth the price in most cases.

NASA, start your torrents: 622 Mbps broadband link FOUND ON MOON
Re: Now our Mars missions can look forward to on-demand 3D porn!!
Depending on the alignment of the planets, the ping time to Mars and back ranges between roughly 10 and 40 minutes at the speed of light, averaging around 30, so that wouldn't make for a particularly comfortable web browsing experience. Sure, you might be able to download a Blu-ray in 5 minutes, but you'll be waiting far longer than that for the video to start. "On-demand" will typically mean waiting half an hour from when you click play to when the stream starts on your end. Plus, you'll undoubtedly be sharing the connection with a bunch of filthy Mars-men, so expect your share of the bandwidth to be a fraction of that. Of course, there would likely be a colony-side datacenter that would continually download and cache videos, web sites and so on, but if you want anything that's not cached, expect to wait quite a while for it. And that's assuming whoever's in charge even lets you have a say in what gets downloaded.
RUMBLINGS: Apple pondering 'Touch Cover keyboard' for iPads
Even if it had been a $25 extra, it could have been a killer feature. According to a teardown analysis, the component cost of the Touch Cover was just around $16, making its $120 price tag almost pure profit. Or at least, it would have been, had the Surface actually sold. The cost to manufacture the Surface RT itself was estimated to be well under $300, so Microsoft could have priced it far more aggressively than they had. You can't expect to charge the same premium for a new product that the established leaders in the field with rabid fanbases are charging, especially when your platform has a significant lack of software compared to the competition. Had Microsoft priced the surface RT around $400 from the start, with the Touch Cover either bundled or an inexpensive extra, they could have established themselves as a major contender in the field. The platform would have sold itself. Instead, they spent more on advertising the product than they made on sales.

A warning about RT from the John Birch SocietySubmitted by Zef on Thu, 05/03/2012 - 09:48
I know RT gives Ron Paul some fair media coverage, but keep in mind that it is a Russian outfit. I am not saying that RT is bad, but what I am saying is to continue to do your own research and come up with your own answers.
- Login to post comments
Not sure about all of the bashing of JBS
Bashing of JBS is something the leftists love to do. However, JBS y want very much what RP supporters want...strict adherence to the constitution. I have heard it all from progressives and Neocons about how they are all "racists" and anyone that joins them is a "nazi". That in itself is what drew me to research them. They seem to me at least a honest constitutionalist organization. The people criticizing them on here have fell victim to more brainwashing. Remember, the agenda from the communists is much stronger than "just msm". It is pervasive through schooling, literature, books, etc. The JBS is fighting the right battle for the right team, in my opinion...at least from what I have learned. I am no expert though...
JBS is rock solid.
I haven't met a JBS member that wasn't a Ron Pauler.
But like all groups (C4L, Oath Keepers, etc...) keep vigilant of phoney infiltrators.
I'm tninking of joining
I'm thinking of joining the Society for the Preservation of Wooden Toilet Seats, AKA the Birch John Society. ;-)
Freedom is my Worship Word!
A spelling society.
When Fascism goes to sleep, it checks under the bed for Ron Paul!
Follow the money
look first to the finances of Russia Today RT. Who supplies the money to run a global network that broadcasts to all the world.
Then use critical thinking and ask why they tailor their news coverage depending on the audience.
As long as you remain sceptical and ask questions you cannot be lead astray.
Remember it is a business and has motives profit or otherwise.
I think that when a news outfit is honest of their biases it is better. Most news companies deny that they have biases, but it is fairly easy to discern their biases. The real kicker is when they show some news and it seems to be a straight forward story and the reporting seems non biased then you might find that by omission not commission they lie or obfuscate.
As someone else said trust no one, always filter what you hear or see through critical thinking.
Yes, and looking at the JBS
history and (lack of) much effectiveness, many have come to the conclusion that JBS was also founded to mold and control opposition to the establishment order.
So always be critical and always think.
As with any major news outfit...
...RT selects particular bits of the truth to give you. If you took them at face value, you'd be converted to international socialism. They give you more truth than the American networks, but they certainly spin it just as do our own domestic liars. The same with Al Jazeera. As always, use your reason, take nothing at face value. Research everything yourself, otherwise you might as well sprout wool and go graze in the yard. As my favorite high school teacher used to say, "use caution."
"Alas! I believe in the virtue of birds. And it only takes a feather for me to die laughing."
I am thinking: Just like FOX
I am thinking: Just like FOX garners conservative sheeple patronage, RT could try to garner the Liberty Movement. In otherwords, controlling the opposition by molding their view.
It's not like the new "old"
It's not like the new "old" system is any better. They don't call it the "Kremlin" for nothing!

Ron Paul Spoke at JBS Last Year
Rep. Larry McDonald (D-GA) was a good friend of Dr. Paul's that Dr. Paul consulted before running for congress. McDonald was president, if I have the right title, of the John Birch Society when a plane he was riding was shot down over Russian territory.
Dr. Paul spoke at a JBS convention less than a year ago. He regularly gets 100% ratings from the New American, the JBS news magazine.
Note: There is no suggestion to not watch RT, but only that it should be considered carefully. Here is an earlier DP post on Larry McDonald in which Dr. Paul called him the most principled member in congress.

Yes. By their clothes and mannerisms. I have been to Eastern Europe, you can spot them a mile away. Good people can usually sense evil.
Well I've been in Europe for the most of 4 years... Most wear the same clothes as any other European. Only when they speak Russian or a mixture of Russian and the host country's language can most people discern where they're from.
Every land has their evil members... Just because they're Russian doesn't make them evil. I was in a language class with a young Russian that loves the American way! I also met a few Iraqis that were nice too! And of course a few I didn't care for...

the younger generation in Russia are not their parents or grandparents. These kids have a better understanding of the issues than most folks in the world. I'd watch who's toes ya step on, we may need a good ally someday. Remember our buddy, France, back in the American Revolution?... I'm not jumping to conclusions, but we may need those folks someday. I think the RT haters are just out to discredit the entire liberty movement and perpetuate "red scare" propaganda. But hey, if ya don't like em, don't watch em. Maybe you and Jesse Benton can sit around and watch Fox News together.
"sometimes I hug the coffee table when no one is looking."
When RT starts blatantly fabricating news...
like FoxNews, CNN, MSNBC, ABCNews, et. al. I will stop watching it. As many of my fellow net surfers, I get my information from many sources and at this time in history I find that RT is the only Television News that covered Occupy, the bailouts, Ron Paul, Unconstitutional Wars (Plural), loss of civil liberties, police brutality, real economics (not keynesian), and... Julian Assange. Take the time to watch Assange's show. It is like nothing else in the world.
No need to vote the string down.
It is simply another side of the story and it behoves all of us to keep in the back of our minds.
Ron Paul no longer does interviews with RT
I know, what a shame....
they're the only network that actually gives the man fair recognition, and yet he has to ignore them so he doesn't get called a commie spy. Ridiculous "red scare" garbage....ugghh....
"sometimes I hug the coffee table when no one is looking."
RT got rid of Adam Kokesh
I wouldn't trust them
Adam left at his own accord...
Turns out he can't go around promoting candidates on a foreign network... and when I say promoting candidates, I mean promoting a Ron Paul moneybomb. (it wasn't RT's fault, it's just election rules and it could have hurt the RP campaign).

A system for viewing the area laterally rearward of an automotive vehicle to enhance the safety of backing out of a parking space includes a license plate securing frame having a compartment that houses small wireless transmitting TV cameras, and viewing screens located in front of the driver. The TV cameras are battery operated, thereby enabling the frame to be attached to the vehicle without special installation or wiring.
1. A rear imaging system for an automotive vehicle having a rear license plate comprising:
a) a rectangular frame for securing said license plate and attaching it to said vehicle, said frame including an upper horizontal portion having mounting apertures, and a lower horizontal portion, said horizontal portions extending to lateral extremities that join with oppositely paired vertical side portions,
b) a waterproof compartment outwardly protruding from said lower horizontal portion and elongated between opposite end panels located adjacent said side portions,
c) left and right camera units positioned within said compartment adjacent opposite extremities thereof, each camera unit comprised of a miniature TV camera with interactive wireless signal-transmitting feature,
d) at least one dry cell battery located within said compartment and adapted to power one or both said camera units, and
e) left and right display screens which receive signals from said left and right camera units, respectively, and produce the consequent images, said screens being located within said vehicle within easy view of the driver.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the visualization of regions rearwardly on both sides of an automotive vehicle, and particularly concerns a system for facilitating the safe backing of an automotive vehicle out of a parking space.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The commonplace side and rear view mirrors employed in most automotive vehicles generally provide the driver with adequate information during highway travel. However, such mirrors are ineffective in the course of backing out of a parking space bounded by adjacent vehicles. In such situation, the driver requires a detailed visualization of vehicles approaching from either lateral direction. The necessary visualization of oncoming vehicles is particularly difficult when either or both of the adjacently parked vehicles may be of large size.
The improvement of a driver's visualization of surrounding areas has earlier been addressed by the use of small closed circuit television cameras which feed a picture to a viewing screen positioned in front of the driver. Examples of such prior art include the following:
In most prior rear imaging embodiments, a single TV camera having a wide angle lens is pointed rearwardly to capture the entire area of interest. This produces an image which is usually distorted and so cluttered with unwanted extraneous details that important features cannot easily be discerned. It is also to be noted that prior rear imaging embodiments usually involve complex systems that require factory installation at the time of manufacture of the vehicle.
It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a laterally rearward imaging system which can be easily added to substantially any vehicle following its manufacture.
It is another object of this invention to provide a rear imaging system as in the foregoing object which provides an undistorted complete view of areas laterally behind a vehicle.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a system of the aforesaid nature of durable construction and amenable to low cost production.
These objects and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description.
The above and other beneficial objects and advantages are accomplished in accordance with the present invention by a rear imaging system for an automotive vehicle having a rear license plate comprising:
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawing:
Referring now to
Frame 10 is comprised of opposed vertically directed side portions 12, upper horizontal portion 13, and lower horizontal portion 14. The frame is preferably of substantially integral construction and fabricated of metal or plastic. At least two mounting apertures 15 are located in said upper horizontal portion to permit passage of threaded bolts that secure the frame and license plate to the vehicle. The frame is further bounded by forward and rearward faces, 17 and 19, respectively. A waterproof compartment 16 protrudes rearwardly from lower horizontal portion 14, and is equipped with at least one access panel 18 located in forward face 17. Said compartment is bounded at its lateral extremities by end panels 31 which are convergently angled toward the center of the frame. Forward face 17 may have brackets 30 mounted upon the lowermost portion of the frame for the further securement of license plate 11.
Left and right camera units 20 and 21, respectively, are positioned within compartment 16 adjacent the opposite extremities thereof. Each camera unit is comprised of a miniature TV camera 22 having a wireless signal-transmitting feature. TV cameras of suitable nature for use in this invention are operable by a 9 volt battery, and have a viewing angle preferably between 45 and 60 degrees with respect to its axis of view. A particularly well suited transmitter camera is Model VC200 sold by the Enkueros Company of Miami, Fla. Suitable cameras focus between one inch and infinity and provide a resolution of at least 350 lines/inch. The camera units mounted within compartment 16 are sealed to viewing apertures 35 in end panels 31 in a manner such that the axis 32 of the camera is orthogonal to the end panel, as shown in
At least one dry cell battery 24 is located within compartment 16 and adapted to power one or both cameras. The batteries are positioned adjacent an access panel 18 in a manner to facilitate replacement of the battery while maintaining the waterproof integrity of compartment 16. An on/off switch 36 may be positioned externally of compartment 16 to control battery operation. Power may also be supplied directly from the vehicle's battery by using a transformer adapter that provides the appropriate DC voltage.
Left and right display screens 25 and 26, respectively, receive signals from said left and right camera units, respectively, producing the consequent images with proper left-to-right mirror-image orientation. The display screens are preferably integrated as a single panel which may be conveniently attached to a sun visor 27 within the vehicle above the steering wheel for convenient viewing by the driver. Said attachment may be achieved by way of VELCRO hook and loop attachment material, magnetic sheet material, or elastomeric bands that surroundingly embrace the visor and panel. A battery and on/off switch or electrical lead to the vehicle's battery may also be associated with the display panel.
By virtue of the viewing system of this invention a vehicle 37, as shown in
While particular examples of the present invention have been shown and described, it is apparent that changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the invention in its broadest aspects. The aim of the appended claims, therefore, is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Future of Nursing Initiative
WEDNESDAY, July 22 (HealthDay News) -- The use of blunt needles may be associated with fewer glove perforations during closure following Caesarean delivery, but with lower physician satisfaction with the needles, according to research published in the August issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
Scott Sullivan, M.D., of the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, and colleagues analyzed data from 194 patients undergoing Caesarean deliveries who were randomly assigned to closure with blunt or sharp needles. Researchers collected gloves used by the surgeon and assistant and tested them for perforation by filling them with water and squeezing, assessing rates of glove perforation as a stand-in for needlestick injuries.
The investigators found that glove perforations occurred at a significantly lower rate with blunt needles overall (relative risk, 0.66). Assistant surgeons had a lower risk of perforation with blunt needles (relative risk, 0.54), but the risk was not significantly reduced among the primary surgeons. Surgeons reported that they were less satisfied with the blunt needles, but roughly 92 percent rated them as "acceptable" or higher.
"The use of blunt needles is an effective technique to minimize the potential morbidity of accidental needlesticks to the health care team. Blunt needles have mechanical advantages over sharp needles in the protection against needlestick injuries, including the requirement of much greater force to induce glove perforation than sharp needles, and are less likely to break the skin if glove perforation occurs," the authors write.

No one suspected the Salahis were a couple of brazen party crashers — and wannabe reality TV stars."

THINK ABOUT ADOPTION/RESCUE...... We are very active in all breed rescue. Contrary to what the media would like for you to think NOT all dogs in shelters or available for adoption have a sad past. Unfortunately some do and we are here to help! Some are not microchipped, or tagged and have been lost and never reunited with their mourning owners. Some have been abused, injured or neglected and need an understanding home to offer them support, love and training to help reach the potential we see in them. Some have lost their owners due to tragedy, death or simply a change in living arrangements and both the family and dog are incredibly saddened. Sometimes in this situation the old owners and new owners stay in contact and it is a wonderful situation for both parties as well as the dog, which is what is most important. Each dog available has been fully vetted and individually evaluated to help find the best possible match with their new family- Adoptions fees vary and are very minimal!
AVAILABLE for adoption- 11 months old black and white lab/border collie mix. owner surrender 11/16/14. We have had her spayed, microchipped, vaccinations updated and her heartworm test is negative. Please consider having Daisy join your family to give her a holiday to remember!!
7 year old german shorthaired pointer female. Owner surrender 6/2014. Calie is spayed and ready to love you. She is amazing in the house and absolutly loves birds and squirrels. Very well mannered. Good recall and calm in the house. She is a VERY easy dog to be around!!
If you have lost a pet in our area please email us the information so we can cross post it here and on Facebook!

Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau

Museum members: $8.00
General Admission: $10.00
About the Film:
Directed by Sam George. USA. 2013. 96 mins.
This award-winning documentary chronicles the remarkable life, times, and legacy of the late Eddie Aikau—fearless big wave surfer, pioneering North Shore lifeguard and crewmember of the Polynesian voyaging canoe Hokule'a. As the first official North Shore lifeguard, Aikau saved more than 500 lives and never failed once. Time and again he plunged into 40-foot waves at Waimea Bay to rescue swimmers, hence the slogan "Eddie would go," a phrase that has long carried deep meaning with countless Hawaiians and surfers worldwide. With its combination of archival imagery, dramatic reenactments, contemporary interviews and meticulously researched historical source material Hawaiian is a compelling examination of the tragic decline and extraordinary rebirth of the Hawaiian culture, as personified by a native son whose dynamic life and heroic death served as inspiration to an entire spiritual movement. Narrated by Josh Brolin, directed by Sam George (Riding Giants) and produced by Stacy Peralta (Dogtown and Z-Boys) and Paul Taublieb (The Vow), Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau is a fitting tribute to a man who is considered a hero across the globe.

A man remains in jail after an attempted murder in the town of Orange.
In police custody is 19-year-old Garian Washington who was arrested on Friday, June 16th, after he allegedly shot at another man on June 8th. Police say it happened on Lindsay Drive in Orange during an argument over stolen drugs.
According to police, Washington aimed a gun at the man's chest, and pulled the trigger, but the gun misfired, allowing the victim to run away. However, Washington was able to fire another shot, this time hitting something which made the round graze victim.
On Friday, June 16th, Washington tried to run from officers serving a warrant, but was caught by a police canine.
Washington was denied bond by a judge. Washington sits inside the Central Virginia Regional Jail charged with first-degree attempted murder.
