Here are the latest spy shots of the upcoming BMW M5, these photos are hot off the press, taken today! Pirelli and BMW are testing different tire combinations for this car, for which the final setup will be of paramount importance. As always, you can find our complete M5 Spyshots collection here.
Can anyone identify the different tire combinations?

Jalopnik brings us these new photos of the BMW M5 test prototype spotted out testing. The upcoming M5 will be powered by a twin turbo V8 rumored to produce 578hp.
5post member Alpine325ci (Gerald Alvarez) continues his stunning M5 photoshops. What we're seeing are not only beautiful impressions of the F10 M5, but also some of the most life-like versions we've seen. Full set of new images inside.
Member Alpine325ci (Gerald Alvarez) has been photoshopping beautiful BMW renders for a long while now. He now takes a crack at predicting the new M5 (F10). Check them out.
Here are some more photos of the recently spied F10 M5 test mule. The striptease has recently accelerated with the uncovering of the front fascia from its previous camouflage mask.
The F10 M5 seen currently in winter testing has shed some of its front end camouflage to reveal more of the M5 than recently seen. If you look closely, you can make out the lower front fascia design behind the remaining black tape, which appears to cover the entire front bumper. Other external parts may yet remain preproduction version — the final hood will likely see a power bulge (a signature ///M feature), the fenders may yet be widened, the mirrors become sleeker, and the … CONTINUED
It seems that almost all prototypes for upcoming BMW models are currently somewhere in frozen northern Scandinavia conducting cold winter testing, and that includes the upcoming BMW F10 M5. Spotted here is the F10 M5 in Northern Sweden, testing its winter handling abilities.
This posting is as per Scott26/27
Indeed that is awful. Good news (for me and the other countless M5 Touring owners throughout Europe et all) I was informed that there will be a F11 M5 Touring as the car has proved to be very popular even the final production models are being snapped up as we speak.
I think I may … CONTINUED
Check out these beautiful renders of one of BMWs most hotly anticipated new M cars — the F10 BMW M5. The new M5 is expected to bow in one years time at the 2011 Geneva auto show, a year after the regular F10 5-series sedan makes its world premiere at the 2010 Geneva show next month.
Well, there is no end to the photoshops of the upcoming M5 that have been bubbling to the surface. The general notion is that the cars line will follow the E90/E92 M3 front bumper however it will be significantly more angular (think X5/X6 M) and obviously wider to fill out the larger 5-Series based body
This F10 M5 photoshop was posted by BMW insider Scott as he mentioned that the F10 M5 photoshops floating around have all relied too much on the M3s looks. Instead, its suggested that we look to the X5M/X6Ms "sharper" looks for the upcoming M5 and M1s design. We take this to mean that the M5s bumper will be more aggressive as in this image, rather than the M3-like bumper seen in most M5 photoshops.
The rear valence and diffuser on the … CONTINUED
Time marches on and the F10 BMW M5 continues its cold weather testing ahead of its scheduled launch for 2011. To recap, this car is expected to utilize a turbo charged V8 engine derived from the motor used in the X5 and X6 M. Power outputs are still unknown but I would bet on it being higher then that of the X5/X6M. Other M5 Spy pictures can be seen here.

It is private property, but as a teen we use to sneak onto the property and go in these houses. Kind of a test of manhood type thing. There are ghost stories abound about Hermitage Plantation and the slave houses.

Last Full-Team Practice In Mankato ConcludesPosted by on August 12, 2010 – 11:04 am
The Vikings have concluded their final full-team practice of 2010 Verizon Vikings Training Camp in Mankato and it didn't end without a bang. While there were a handful of highlight-caliber plays on the field during Thursday morning's practice, the highlight for fans was certainly the full-team autograph session that followed the workout.
Once practice concluded, Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress huddled his team together for a typical post-practice talk. Then the team was dismissed and they scattered to the fence lines to sign autographs for fans. Some players and coaches spent upwards of 30-40 minutes signing after practice, a nice show of appreciation for the outstanding crowds the team has seen over 2 weeks at camp.
There were some notable on-field fireworks as well, including INTs from CB Benny Sapp in the endzone and S Tyrell Johnson deep down the right sideline. The team simulated game scenarios it has faced during Childress' tenure with the club, including 2-minute drills and clock-killing drills.
We even had a good, old-fashioned skirmish between DE Ray Edwards and rookie RB Toby Gerhart. There was some continuation of the skirmish, which caught the eye of fans and reporters, but things had completely calmed down just moments later. It's worth a note in a post-practice write-up, but spending any more than 3 or 4 minutes talking about it is overkill. Skirmishes such as the one on Thursday are nothing foreign to training camp practices and they're just as much a product of pent up aggression and anxiety for a real game as they are a product of any true animosity between individuals.
Edwards met with reporters on his way off the practice field and was grilled about the incident, but he downplayed what happened and explained those situations stay on the field and never enter the locker room.
Outside of that, it was another solid training camp practice for the Vikings. Temperature and humidity levels were high once again and Childress estimated that if Thursday morning wasn't the hottest practice of camp it was certainly among the top few. Childress also explained that although the team will break camp in Mankato, training camp continues for the team once they arrive back in Eden Prairie.
"Training camp doesn't really end for us," Childress explained. "We're right back at it at Winter Park with a little bit different schedule. The guys that don't have a place in town stay over at one of the hotels right there. We keep them throughout the day, we just get our night meetings that we would have coming back after dinner (in Mankato) after the practice and then feed them a dinner meal. We just fool with the schedule a little bit."
Childress was also asked about the team's facilities at training camp, and the head coach expressed great pleasure with Julia A. Sears Residence Community – citing central air as a big reason for the approval – and also the team's dining hall. And he also said the practice fields have continued to get better and better, including the playing surface inside Blakeslee Stadium.
Training camp is now closed to the public, but the team will hold a special teams practice this afternoon and then head back up to Winter Park tomorrow for a mock game and departure to St. Louis for preseason game #1 at 7:00 p.m. CT against the Rams on Saturday. [UPDATE: The Vikings may hold their mock game before returning to Winter Park.]

Fan Appreciation Day At CampPosted by on August 12, 2010 – 7:37 am
The Vikings will wrap up 2010 Verizon Vikings Training Camp in Mankato today and they'll do it on Fan Appreciation Day. Training camp crowds have once again been great and I expect a new attendance record will be set this year, so the Vikings have many reasons to be appreciative of their fans.

Mort's Camp Bus Tour Arrives In MinnesotaPosted by on August 12, 2010 – 7:12 am
ESPN's NFL information men – Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter – are touring NFL training camps on giant buses, and "Mort" has arrived in Mankato to visit with the Vikings just in the nick of time.
The Vikings wrap up training camp practices in Mankato on Thursday and Mortensen will be in town – with his gigantic bus – to visit with players and likely head coach Brad Childress to get their feel on the upcoming season. We'll let you know if any funny developments happen around Mort's bus today (something interesting usually happens).
Hopefully we can catch up with Mortensen and get a vikings.com video interview in the mix.

By Christine Riggle

For those who remember anything they learned of economics in high school -- kudos. As for the rest of us who would have much rather spent frivolously what little money we had instead of learning how to make it grow, perhaps the method used to teach us about money was uninspired or even, as Sir Norman Angell would suggest, outmoded.

Angell, a British economist, Nobel laureate and prolific writer, was also the designer of something called "The Money Game" -- a visual method of teaching schoolchildren the fundamentals of finance and banking. First published in 1928 by J. M. Dent & Sons, "The Money Game, How to Play It: A New Instrument of Economic Education" was both a book and a game. Although the bulk of the book is an essay on money and a discussion of economic theory, players can easily skip to a summary of the game's story and an explanation of the rules.

The game is based on the premise that a sailor has been shipwrecked on a remote island populated by natives unfamiliar with the concept of money. With gold bricks that he uses as capital to back the notes he prints, and scraps from which he builds machinery to start a variety of industries, the sailor has developed a local economy before he knows it.

The game is best played with at least six players, one of whom acts as the sailor-banker. The banker's goal is to create monopolies to add to the bank's assets without any one player accumulating more notes than the bank can back. The goal of the players is to either break the bank or to be the player with the largest return on their notes at the end of the game. The game includes a pack of cards representing 10 industries, such as coal mines, flour mills and iron foundries, along with notes in four denominations and cards for scoring.

Opinions on the educational value of the game varied greatly. "That the game is educative seems to me certain," the syndicated columnist and philosopher Walter Lippmann declared. "It clarifies better than I have ever seen it done the fundamental principles of money and credit. I have no doubt that anyone who has played this game a few times would read a text-book on banking with a totally fresh understanding."

On the other hand, a critic for Time magazine noted:

"A smart Stock Exchange operator might be a tremendous success at the game, which resolves itself largely into clever trading. On the other hand, the better the game becomes as a game, the less effective it becomes as a course in finance. It does illustrate, in an elementary manner, the fact that a bank can issue more notes than it has gold to support and also the fact that coal and iron and manufactured products are just as truly wealth as is gold. But it would be a queer idea of business which would involve the House of Morgan trading Standard Brands for the House of Mellon's Aluminum Co., both in the hope of breaking the Federal Reserve system."

Navy training mine washes ashore on Miami Beach
A portion of Miami Beach was evacuated on Monday following the discovery of a red and white cylinder that turned out to be a training mine belonging to the US Navy. Police cordoned off the area surrounding the 6-foot by 2-foot mine, which a Miami Fire Rescue spokesman said appeared to be live but not as explosive as a regular …
"Where's the kaboom? There's supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom."
b/w "Miami Beach,whoo-hoo! Miami Beach!". I likes me my cartoons, ayup.
<-- Nevvamind the kaboom, found it.
Oh goody! My illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator.
The secret conversation...
"Miami Emergency Services need urgent training in explosive device response and evacuation procedures"
"But we don't have any budget!"
"Hold on, I've got an idea..."
'Not as explosive as a regular mine'
Oh, that's alright then. Kids can play with it then...
If it had gone off in Miami city
It would have caused millions of dollars of benefit.
Alright, what are you playing at?
Red and white cylinder? "Mummeh, That looks like a chunk of a giant candy cane! May I lick plx?" - festive fun @ Miami beach!
In other news, navy officials have taken a clout over the ear and told not to leave explosive sugar sweets on the beach again.
reminds me....
That reminds me of the old Bob Newhart "Bomb Disposal" sketch...."you found a shell on beach? You know that's really not that unusual.....oh, it's that kind of shell"
the famous beach......
.... that's populated with condominiums.
I would have thought that's a sharply painful experience.
Oh, wait, it says 'populated' and 'condominiums'. My mistake.
I suppose...
condominium is a type of single-element latex, but I couldn't find it on the periodic table.
The first time I read it as
"polluted with condominiums."
Although that might be more accurate now that I think about it...
Everybody's gone surfin'....
....Surfin' UXB
Now, where do I send the bill for the new keyboard?
...expected to be taken out to sea and reattached to the ocean floor, come loose, float to the surface and end up on a Miami beach, loaded on a truck and taken away, and is expected to be taken out to sea... etc.
Actually you did miss the "n" off "taken".
These things wash up all the time. Why, when I was a kid I saw several over the years when I went to Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth.
I was always afraid they'd go off and kill everyone in a shower of pennies, hapennies and threepenny bits.
Live, but not as explosive as a regular mine? Given the incompressibility of water, at all explosive does not sound like a good thing for the divers the Navy is training.
'inexplicably came loose'
I think inexplicable might be the wrong word - the chain broke. Mystery solved - next the Loch Ness monster!
Navy - not the proper navy
It was confusing, I expected Lewis Page and the RN.

We wanted to thank you for letting us rent your lovely house on MV last week. We loved the private setting in the woods and felt very comfortable in your house. We appreciated the firm beds and the raised sink in the downstairs bathroom, for it made it very easy on our backs. The kitchen and dining area were wonderful. We had a great time swimming almost every day at State Beach and did a lot of biking. It was such a convenient location to the bike paths, beach,Stop and Shop,fish market, Morning Glory Farm, as well as Edgartown. We enjoyed relaxing and eating on the deck in the shade under the lovely oak tree. We look forward to renting again next year.

Biggest fan ready to cheer
Relevant offers
Ron Haturini will skip dialysis at Middlemore Hospital on Thursday so he can be with his beloved Parramatta Eels when they drop by his Papatoetoe Panthers Rugby League Club.
The Eels are one of six teams visiting clubs in South Auckland in the build-up to the NRL Nines this weekend.
The decision to sidestep his hospital appointment wasn't a hard one for the Papatoetoe grandfather who is known to be the Panthers' most ardent Eels' fan.
He has been loyal since the likes of Mike Cronin, Brett Kenny, Steve Ella, Peter Sterling and Eric Grothe ruled the game in Australia and the Eels won consecutive premierships in 1981, 1982 and 1983 and a fourth in 1986.
Those were heady days for Haturini who has been battling diabetes for nearly five years.
But they're just a distant memory now and a world removed from the wooden spoon-winning Parramatta teams of 2012 and 2013.
Haturini has copped a lot of stick from the NRL fans among his clubmates in that time but despite all the teasing and polite suggestions that he jump ship, the grandfather of 20 remains staunchly committed to the Parramatta colours.
"This is a dream come true - my Parramatta Eels visiting me at my club. It doesn't get any better than that," Haturini says. "I'm so excited. I've been counting down since the day the visit was announced. I've taken a lot of stick for this team but come Thursday I'll be able to stand tall when they're here."
And he asks to be excused if he appears childlike as he chases autographs and photos.
Haturini also has a plan to get back at fellow members who repeatedly suggest a smoked eel dinner every time Parramatta plays.
"I haven't bought an autograph book but you see this ball? I'm going to get every player to sign it. Then I'm going to have it mounted and displayed in the club. It will there for all of them to see."
Haturini has arranged to have his dialysis done on Friday, the day after the Eels visit.
His wife Donna, who co-ordinates, coaches and manages at the Panthers, is nearly at the end of her tether with her husband's goings-on.
And it doesn't help that she's a South Sydney supporter who can't get to the Glenfield Greyhounds Club to see her beloved Rabbitohs because of her involvement at the Panthers.
"He has been unbearable to tell you the truth. He has been going on about it since the visit was announced ... the Eels this, the Eels that, it's an omen, this was meant to."
Husband and wife will be in different corners when the NRL Nines kick off at Eden Park on Saturday. But they won't be at the ground - they were too slow to get tickets.

Introducing Groups for Beta by CrashlyticsPosted by Jason St. Pierre on Aug 18, 2014 in Company, Engineering, Featured
We launched Beta by Crashlytics with the goal of creating the most seamless beta distribution tool for developers and testers. After seeing a rapid adoption of our service, we recognized that there are other features we could build that would make beta distribution even more streamlined. We're excited to launch group support, the first of many new features to build on top of our existing service.
We understand that often times developers need to send specific builds to a specific set of testers based on their development cycle. To combat the tedious process of individually selecting testers, we developed a much smoother and intuitive workflow. With our new groups feature, you can now distribute builds to select groups of testers with minimal effort.
With our smart search and dynamic interface, you can instantly find the testers you're looking for. We've built an intuitive tester management UI allowing you to easily create tester groups and send builds to these groups within just a few clicks. To further streamline the group creation process, you now have access to your groups across every app within your organization, eliminating the need to create the same group twice.
To give you the most flexibility, we've integrated group management into our Mac app and Android IDE plugins — so you can send builds to your groups right within your existing workflow. For those of you who prefer continuous integration, using our build server support, you can now automatically send builds, specify the receiving groups, and publish release notes. You can collaborate with your team having them manage the testers and create groups ahead of time and just hit "send" when the time is right.
From our friends at Opera Software:
Group support from Crashlytics simplifies distributing our apps to a large set of testers. Not only is it easy to add, manage and distribute to a group, but it's pretty too! This is exactly what every company distributing their app needs.
Carsten Zeiffert,
We hope you enjoy using groups for Beta by Crashlytics. We have many more functionalities on our roadmap and plan to continue rolling out new features in the coming months — stay tuned!

Fire All Yes Men.
Who signed off this phone? this is a walking disaster from the 'get go". Good looks? No, Good specifications? No Good Price point? No. The yes men need to be fired this was never going to work, worse its just embarrassing. Remember HP's first tablet? or worse their phone? They could not give them away. To get the masses to buy this phone it need to be sexy first, All iPhones have boring specifications but to cover their specifications they disguise it so it looks the part, as for pricing, Apple is Apple, if the rest of the world wants to product something to take that fruit company product something cheap and sexy like £150 metal with expansion. then you will have something to shout about. That Nokia Tablet looks great, lets hope they can get a good price point.

Jonny Ive: Flattered by rivals' designs? Nah, its 'theft'
Its not the designers who are lazy its their line managers.
Having been in both hardware and the software industry I have seen some very creative stuff being designed every day, and every year a new bunch of great designers leave university to enter the world only to have their designs turned down as to "Radical" or "Over Engineered" only to see that very same line manager following fashion (Fruit) or worse they are waiting for "That Fruit Company" latest design to arrive. It can be very frustrating to find your designs being used by the "Right Company" years after you showed the concept to your own line manager who turned it down.
Shout and scream all you want about who made what and when, its all politics when it comes down to great design finding its way into the public eye. Check out the university showcases and you will see what Im talking about.

Im afraid the original team which created up to now has had their run its time for the young to take over.
imac, iBook, Power book, Power Mac, & iPod, from any colour apart from beige to bare metal but all built with attention to detail, or according to lazy "Over Engineered" Apple has always been the alternative to the 'Norm'
As for the iPhone? well, that was a mistake everyone would love to make, who would know that the general public would jump on such an expensive product yep it was a complete game changer regarding mobile phone market in so many ways.
And now with the competition thinks power is the key to get back their lost public with their new "Apple Killer" meanwhile the lads are patting each other on their backs relaxing earning 7.5% per day. Good luck to them.
Woz he talking about? Apple co-founder wants iPhones to run Android
I think we are missing the point here.
Android on an Apple phone? well hell did freeze over (itunes for pc) once why not again. Here is the problem Android appears to have one major or minor issue and that is stability.
The Apple quality is what Apple do in all their products for example you can now buy 1st Gen Ipads on ebay for £150 or more, they still work great but they have been left behind with technology thus new programs wont work on them.
As for Android phones I have spent the last 2 years with both a Android (Samsung s3) and Apple (iphone 4s) and what i found was little issues like loosing my wifi connection, unable to make conference calls unless i call my android phone first (dont ask about that issue) or locking up when multi tasking.
The Apple just works without a fuss. I hate that, as Ive seen some real nice Android phones out there and I love the control I have with the Android but I need the stability plus full integration with my computer, if only Android phone manufacturers would produce software which will fully integrate with my Mac computer I would be happy. Before the iphone I was stuck and now I have a phone I cant change it without going back to square 1. So why will hell freeze over, just look at Microsoft Windows and the pc market, windows was designed to run on any pc but as everybody did their own thing it was a monster to keep up with the changes, Apple chose their hardware to match their software thus stability. Android is the new windows, Apple is apple, think about it.
Samsung Mega 6.3: Enter the PHONDLESLAB
This looks like a really bad case of "Look at me" its a bit sad, I was in a well know supermarket waiting in a long que, and got my iPhone out and was watching an episode of "Mongrels" just then someone in the next row fished out what I could only call a white monster and began to do something on his, it was all i could do to stop laughing, god knows what happens when he puts it to his head to take a call. I understand the Galaxy S as it was everything the IPhone was not, however it did have some issues with stability. Since then, phones have gotten bigger and bigger. I hate to say but Apple has the size right with its version 5, but alas watch this space. Remember its a small computer which can make phone calls. I could get my old Filofax back out again.
Apple refreshes MacBook Pro range
How Much?
So what, Yes its worth it, as to date I have had 3 MacBooks in the last 8 years all are still working today my friend has had 6 PC laptops (Acer x2, Dell, HP x2, Sony), before he got a macbook too. They wont break unless you really go for it. they are Over Engineered.
Obama calls for study into games 'n' guns link
Where can I go to join this study?
I would love to see if I would become violent if I play all day, and get paid for it. every time somebody gets shot and the public goes mad, games get the blame. GUNS DONT KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE.
when someone builds a BFG and take out a school, I might think again lol
What ereader decline? Kobo pumps up the volumes despite grim forecasts
Kobo, thats great news
Im a Graphic designer, who is currently going to get a double hip replacement so im currently stuck at home when everybody els is having fun, I read my pdf manuals and magazines on my laptop (macbook pro) but I dont have a need for a tablet as I have a Iphone and glasses.
I did try to read books on my phone but gave that up. (too small and too bright) I was given a kobo for Christmas (thanks Sara & Chris), and its been great. Ive managed to put away my old books and download the epub version.
Its nice to walk away from my laptop and chill and read while listening to music. fit in pocket great, Im now enjoying reading again, so what if you cant deal with pdf documents, Ive tried and omg never again, however if thats all you read find a reader that fits the bill dont give kobo a hard time im a restored paperback reader again.
Nokia HERE iOS maps app review
yep maps did take a bad turn with apples latest version
But I was one of the lucky ones who started using "Waze" for my turn by turn navigation. its great fun driving past another user on the motor way and giving a knowing nod. 3d images in a map indeed, Steve must be turning in his grave. Giving directions via my Bluetooth headset means that I do not need to have my phone on my dashboard like all the lambs out there.
Industry in 'denial' as demand for pricey PCs plunges
Re: Any old iron?
I thought I was alone, im currently in the same camp as yourself, however I have now gotten myself a Macbook Pro intel, to catch up with software, as for my old G4, yep it works a treat so im currently filling it with hard drives, both internal and external and redeploying it as a Media Server. Im currently converting my DVD & CD library to itunes, and I have gotten hold of some Airport Express and active speakers and Im now the proud owner of music & video in every room in my house controlled by portable iproducts.
Samsung ships two smartphones for every one Apple sells
Who Cares?
I thought I would check out my local phone shop for prices, the cheapest Apple phone was going for £28 per month on contract the phone was free and the latest 5 was £66 per month plus £89 for the phone. Compare that to the Samsung phone the flagship S3 cost £28 per month phone is free, looking further into this I found that all Samsung phones are free on contract. To get an Apple phone free you have to pay some big money per month for it, I could go on but its clear who is making the real money here. The difference here is that all the different Samsung phones have different versions of Android onboard and work very differently, Apples 5 & 4 gives the same user experience.
Still I love the S3 phone though
Samsung says 'yes' to iPhone 5-sized Galaxy S III
Think for yourself naughty Samsung
Samsung s phone, was everything which Apple was not, Apple did not build the massive screen for a reason, this action just confirms that our fruit company understands its customers. Samsung understands its competition, before Apple it was Rim.
So nothing new here.
Happy birthday, Compact Disc
30 years old
Time to warm up my Mission PCM 7000R and get out my copy of Dire Straits Brothers in Arms CD just for when I return home. Yep a few of my CDs has gone nuts but every one has been treated with respect and I dont lend them out anymore as some people think they are indestructible.
Cassette tapes are great, until your unlucky and put them into a crap player.......I remember taking the tape out followed by the cassette innards reeling out of the player, totally destroyed.
I still buy CDs as if you read the small print for your itunes library when they go or you go, they are gone. I love my Turntable, but heres the thing, you cant put an 'algorithm' in a frame on the wall by your hifi.
Re: Sony Cdp101
Hi, the blue ribbon socket was for the Midi hifi system which it was designed to work with, there was a long ribbon which connected to the amp, cassette etc although the first remote did not have controls for the CD player, later versions did.
AData claims 'world's thinnest external HDD' crown

Fans rap Apple's 'crap' Map app
bad map
So the post "Jobs" crap started already, He would never had released this product its like playing into the hands of the competition. if i used maps on my old version I would restore back to iOS 5 and wait.
Fanboys order 2m iPhone 5s in 24 hours
Well who's the next company to have sleepless nights?
2 million, iphones sold? whats happening with all the old phones? hand them to the children?, nope they have a ipod Touch, so what happens to the old touch? thats easy, just unplug the land line and plug in your old 3GS on your home wifi, yep its the network land line, if all your children are using their touch as mobiles in their bedrooms free of charge, so can mum and dad, with their old phone just push face-time or better still Skype, Viber etc and your talking to your mates for hours free all over the world. Yep BT,Virgin and other land line companies had better start getting their act together look what happend to Nokia, Sony, Nintendo etc.
Apple iPhone 5 hands-on review
I like the black one.......
I love reading your opinions on the iphones, pods, laptops etc. it appears that engineers & coders love android phones, & PC's graphic designers & artists like iphones & Mac's (that should start another row lol)
All my phones have been white but I will get the second gen or "S" version only because the company pays for them, and my contract runs out when the "S" version arrives.
For years I could not get my mobile to connect with my apple computer, it was like no phone manufacturer was interested, thank you apple as i now have a phone which I can use without my laptop. I dont believe that there is a android program to connect to my mac? (funny, I've never looked as the iphone came first lol)
Why black? Thats easy, Steve Jobs is dead and it will be my tribute to him for making my life that bit better.
iPhone 5 wait drives record Samsung smartphone sales
funny thing that!
Samsung is doing very well as they are giving away their New! phone (already!!!) at well under Apple's price (source Carphone Warehouse uk). I do not recall any stories of people camping outside phone shops ready to buy the Galaxy 3? or people scampering round at every little bit of rumor, when leaked, of their phones.
I personally think that the '4s' is their best phone yet, as its better built than previous models and the price will fall through the floor when the 5 arrives, and girls, 4 inches is not going to help lol.
its all getting a bit boring now.
Apple iDevice dock port to drive wireless streaming

Nokia details 808 Pureview release
Oh Dear!
Poor old Nokia, It looks like they will go into free fall, if they don't get their act together, and the only way out is "Android" Yep I said it, windows has abandon them, (No update for windows os was the last straw) at least Android works. Sell your stocks people.
Arcam rPac
Oh my, Reg you have dropped the ball here.
I read your review and thought, What the...... well lets not go there. So I saw that nobody had commented on this article so I thought I would get the ball rolling, however loads of people have and they are all right. This is an attempt to get the stupid to buy a product to improve the quality of an algorithm??? think about your readers...... or did you? looking back at this article its quite funny that these products exists. So lets remember readers this product really do exist and fools will enjoy it and brag to their friends. Now thats worth talking about.
p.s. fix your web page

BT wont speed them up until cable (Virgin) reaches them, e.g. Battlefield is unplayable out there, downloads take overnight if it dose not time out, and its the same with most network games, so how are they going to make progress or watch the city make progress lol. Sorry Game but its been a good run...

Re: No fan of Apple, but....
I have to agree with you on this one, Im no fan of Apple, but I don't like bullies, and thieves. All they have done is produce some good products for the mass public and companies are lining up to have a go, or worse try to rob them. Some people are just poor losers.
ps dose anybody remember what the smartphone market was like before Apple had a go?
We all hate lawyers and yet they are the silent winner here.
Nokia: No Belle download for Apple users
Well done Nokia, Some things will never change.

Nokia exec praises Brazilian...
Nokia, oh dear!
"The Finnish phone giant has been selling S40 phones since 1999, when it rolled out the Nokia 7110, the first mobile with a WAP browser - remember that?"
WAP was one of the reasons why the new generation of smartphone have taken off and left Nokia making phones for the grandparents. WAP has to be the worse internet experience know to man.
The BBC Micro turns 30
I sold BBC computers
i used to work with paper tape at school, so I was told to sell them in Laskys Hifi Cov, I loved the BBC but could never afford one. My Manager sold C 64, we both was surprised how they ran out of the door. Not forgetting Sinclare Spectrum, Oric's, Atari 800XL and don't forget the assessories, Tape player, monitors etc.
Today im writing this on my mobile phone, how times have changed.
Apple iPhone owners are the most loyal smartphone buyers
if you think that iphone users upgrading to another is bad......
More to the point is as more iphone users love their product, more are buying Imac's and or laptops to compliment their phones. When I asked why their answer was it works and the attention to detail which Apple has always had.
What Im so confused about is that when Apple was taking over the MP3 market nobody said a word. How many of you Android users have or had ipods?
But not to worry Steve is dead, so its only a matter of time before Apple screws it all up.
Thats really horrible
FanboiTwats, thats really bitter of you to call somebody such a thing.
its a choice thing and don't take it so personally.
Reg reader seeks living room Myth advice - can you help?
Mac Mini would keep her Indoors happy.
Love the issue as I have had the same issue here and this is how I solved it.
First I did not bother with the BR Player as I use MKV maker to Archive my collection of DVD/BR and store them on a Netgear Stora NAS Box with 4tb of hard drive space (2x2TB HDD) on board (copyright might be an issue). Or if you need the BR Player just pop one into your pc and apple will see it and you can play your films to your TV via your mac mini.
The NAS is kept where my PC is setup out of the way, my friend has converted the cupboard under the stairs to do the same thing but thats another story.
Pop the mac mini under the TV as she wont know what it is and besides it looks as it was meant to be by the TV. Network is wireless for streaming & Myth TV runs on it too. Best of all you can control the unit with your smart phone. It could also be your music player too just plug into your hifi system.
Philips Fidelio DS9
its a bit short sited to ask for a Android dock speaker. Or has everybody here forgotten about where the connector comes from??? Well for the ones that had forgotten, Apple produced the Ipod!! which was designed for music, they owned over 70% of mp3 sales for years and now you wonder why nobody makes music for android only, come on and smell the coffee NO STANDARD, NO PRODUCT. its a numbers game.
Seagate stocks sizeable storage hub for home entertainment
USB only!
Nice looking box, but its no home hub!
With USB2 only its just an external hard drive with some nice software and HDMI output. (no i did not forget the audio) The problem is how do you put all your music or videos on this unit.
What this needs is a a fast network connection (wired or wireless) so that you can put your movies on the drive. Do they have any idea how large a 1080p MKV file can be?
iPhone users richer, brainier, more tasteful than Android-ers
YES YES YES Your so right
I remember changing my old phone because I liked the way it looked e.g. Motorola Razr, LG Shine, Nokia 8800 Carbon are just a few. With apple you get 2 phones (soon to become 3) and thats it worse they look almost the same at the front. I got my Iphone because I wanted full integration with my mac, something all other phone manufactures ignored. Now all so called smart phones look the same, Microsoft is going a different route which is good (I think??) worse still nobody will be designing candy bar phones anymore as smart phones will take over.
Darwin has a lot to answer for
People don't want tablets, they want iPads

Corporates love iPhone, iPad more than Android kit
Ive never seen so many upset people
iOS vrs Android is a no brainer, IT Pros will accept a crash without an issue, I was listening to an engineer the other day saying that his only crashes a few times during the day now he's has updated the software??? IT SHOULD NOT CRASH AT ALL!
Apples closed system keeps out the real doggy software, yes i will admit that some software is crap and crashes but they rarely take out the phone with it. As for Flash or Flash programs? well we all know that they have had the 4 years to produce a version of flash which don't drain your battery or crashes your phones and pads.
So how many malware ridden phones are out there? The worst thing is the 'Suites' who want iphones often struggle with a powerpoint presentation so how do you think they will get on with Android?
Apple ups Mac Mini spec, lowers price
Almost perfect

Just a bit expensive but that's apple for ya
Apple annihilates Wall Street performance estimates
Two Stories
I remember the days when Apple users would recognize another Apple user by their white headphones, when I was a student walking down the high street, The day i received the email that "Hell had frozen over" (for the people who do not know, it was the day Apple made software for the PC sorry I meant windows) and thus the war was over for the competition.
As for their quality how many Apple users still have old imacs, cubes, and mac mini's around their house?
They controlled the music market, by creating a the download market when other companies treated their users like common crooks, Yes there are plenty of better players but their software is clunky to use at best. And finally they managed to move on from the click wheel which we thought was the best thing since sliced bread to touch screen..... Nothing new here but the software that went with it was again the killer blow. Some people hate the control Apple has regarding its software, but after the malware issues of Android etc, Apples control is more like user experience. I will leave flash alone for now.
Everywhere i look its Apple this and Apple that, and people who know me is saying look what i can do with my new iphone
Judging by these figures, the term "Think Different" is history well done Apple or Steve Jobs it should be interesting to see what happens when he's gone. i must admit Im real glad Steve Jobs returned to Apple and created this new monster of a company.
Its the software which is the killer product here, Bill Gates new it too.
Sony unveils PlayStation telly
This is old tech....
You can find this tech on the range rover now, it was seen on Top Gear. Its one of the better idea's to come out as in the car the driver sees his sat nav, and the passenger can watch there tv or video at the same time. Nothing 3D about it at all.
'Dodgy Android apps are breaking our phones' - Motorola
Well Im going to say it, if nobody else will!
70 % of returns are because, the user went into the phone shop to buy an iphone, saw the price and decided to get themselves something cheaper. Used it for a few weeks, recognized their mistake and returned it for an iphone.
Im not a fanboys, I only work with Apple computers and while pre Iphone Smart Phones did their job they just did not connect with Apple OS very well, most programs from Sony, Nokia to connect their phones was written for the PC, Apple OS was an after thought.
A great many people want the Iphone but just cant afford it. I use mine for work only as I still love me Vertu Ascent TI Ferrari Collection which cost more than my car,
So enter Stage left the Iphone and overnight it set the new standard for smart phones, and with some clever marketing and their usual tight control over hardware and software they have created a stable user experience. All other mobile companies are running around trying to produce a iphone killer when they should be working on what they do best. as a small green man once said "Control you must learn control"
Apple admits scareware problem, at last
Easily infected
Yes, users are the problem. How can somebody install a program which they have no idea if it going to help them, reading information from the install site without checking is just plain nuts.
If a strange man approached you in the street and said "come with me if you want to live and you follow him down a dark ally, don't be surprised if you get mugged.
Do you remember the intel inside badge which was renamed, "idiot outside" in the early 90's well its time to bring them back for our Granny Smiths.
Apple refreshes iMac with Thunderbolt, Sandy Bridge
I miss my scsi
Yes, I have kept my old dual 1GB cpu systems (remember them? 2 cpu & 2 fans on the same motherboard) and 4 SCSI 1500 rpm hard drives, running raid 0. and don't forget the "Knight Rider" lights in the raid card. Now all we have is a very small port in the side of your computer how times have changed.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
You know CFL draft is boring when...
PED user the highlight
While the CFL is more than a worthy opponent for the National Football League when it comes to on-field entertainment, it is fair to say the Canadian Football League Draft, which begins tonight at 6 p.m., regularly has all the appeal of a blizzard in May.
Like it or not, in Canada, university football is nowhere near as popular as its American counterpart, so CFL fans don't tend to get too excited, or even get to know their newest players until they've been in the pro ranks for at least a season or two. Yet finally, tonight, through the emergence of an unfortunate drug testing result, for those of you interested in the inner workings of CFL franchises, drama and intrigue will now be on deck.
In case you haven't heard, Quinn Smith, a 22-year-old defensive tackle out of Concordia, recently acknowledged he tested positive for stanozolol metabolites when administered a drug test at this year's CFL combine. The fact he made a mistake isn't what interests me here -- there are active players in both the CFL and NFL who have committed far more treacherous transgressions than using performance-enhancing drugs -- but the repercussions to his draft status do. The interest and curiosity is now whether his ranking as the fourth-best prospect will change, to what degree, where he will end up, and how it will be justified.
Less than a week ago, you could have read about how Smith -- who wasn't even a ranked player until the combine -- was in the discussion to be the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. Not only did he dominate on both the defensive and offensive lines at the evaluation camp, but his testing numbers were not of this planet. In fact, one of his physical measurables was so incredible, I wholly endorsed him as someone the Bombers should seriously consider taking with their No. 2 pick -- if he were still to be available -- on last week's CJOB sports show.
While his bench reps, vertical jump and broad jump were good, they were all still well within the normal range of what a CFL defensive line prospect should look like. What made him go from an unranked, run-of-the-mill lineman prospect, to a, "Will the Redblacks take him No. 1 overall?" sure-fire, blue-chip pick was his 40-yard dash time. Listed at 6-2, 305 pounds, Smith ran either a 4.80 or 4.82 second 40, depending on the source. That is nothing short of spectacular for someone who weighs in excess of 300 pounds. In fact, I would defy you to find me the last lineman -- in the NFL or CFL -- who ran a quicker 40 time, and who also weighs over 300 pounds. Because I went and looked, and it simply does not happen.
Now the drug testing results have been announced we can look back and see that, less than a year ago, this was previously a 5.11, 40-yard athlete. It may only be three-tenths of a second, but in a 40-yard dash that's at least five yards. So now the question remains, how far does this cause his stock to fall? Smith will automatically be in stage two of the CFL drug-testing policy, which means he is going to be tested more often than Lance Armstrong at a BMX event.
At a position where power, size and speed go hand in hand, how does a team draft a player when they don't know to what extent these qualities were synthetic? In a piece by Herb Zurkowsky in the Montreal Gazette, it was noted this was the first time Quinn had been tested throughout his entire four-year collegiate career. So it's possible, though unlikely, Quinn could have been using performance enhancing drugs his entire university career, or this really could have been the first instance he tried using them, as his testing numbers would appear to show.
This draft will tell us all how important the character interviews are each team administers at the combine, who believes his story and who doesn't, and who is worried a 6-2, 305-lb. player, running a 4.80 40-yard may turn into a 6-2, 280-lb. player, running a 5.2-second 40 by June. Add to this equation players who dabble in performance-enhancing drugs tend to have a much greater propensity for injury and muscle pulls, and these are some serious considerations for any CFL franchise to take stock of.
It may not be the ideal scenario to pique the interest of Canadian football fans across the country, but in the case of the otherwise mundane CFL draft, any press is good press.
