In the end, it may have taken Carlos Freaking Santana himself to put an end to rock en español's favorite sport, Maná bashing. For 11 years, the Guadalajara-based band has been among the genre's biggest punching bags, derided as fresas("strawberries"--softies) who make crappy music for preppy kids who don't know any better. The reason? For starters, Maná outsold everyone (16 million copies and counting) and became the most successful Latin rock group of all time, and it did so with a pop-heavy sound that drew comparisons to the Police--sans Sting. They were sitting ducks for sharp-shooting purists (including this writer) who never did quite understand what all the hoopla was about.
But that was all before Santana donated his golden guitar to the cause.
The rock legend toured with the band, then put his seal of approval on Revolución de Amor, Maná's first studio album in five years and, to no one's surprise, a commercial success already. The album made its August debut at the top spot on Billboard's Latin charts, and the band's concerts this month at Los Angeles' Universal Amphitheatre sold out in all of 20 minutes. What may be surprising is that Revolución is also Maná's strongest album yet musically. Featuring Rubén Blades on the tropical "Sábanas Frías" ("Cold Sheets," arguably the best song on the album) and Ozomatli's Asdrúbal Sierra singing the chorus on the powerful "No Quiero Ser Tu Esclavo" ("I Don't Want to Be Your Slave"), it's a balanced offering of mild and hot, highlighted by guitarist Sergio Vallín's all-out style and with songs written by three of the members of the quartet. But it's "Justicia, Tierra y Libertad" ("Justice, Land and Freedom"), the track that opens the album with guest guitar from Santana, that has critics finally taking a second look at Maná.
Truth is, despite the rockeros' gripes (and the band's own limitations in the studio), Maná alwaysrocked onstage, could alwaysplay alongside anyone. It was the music itself--syrupy pop offered up at a time when the best in Mexican rock (Maldita Vecindad, Caifanes, Café Tacuba) were busy making "proper" rock--that drew the barbs. Fher Olvera, the band's singer and main songwriter, says Maná always got a bad rap.
"C'mon, man," says Olvera (Vallín, bassist Juan Calleros and drummer Alex González round out the group). "The Beatles started out [with] 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand'! 'Te quiero agarrar la manoooo...'--gimme a break! OK, great song, but in today's context it's a very corny thing. But that was Lennon as a kid, man--that was the way he expressed himself. [And] that's the process of a band. You start somewhere, ascend to a certain point and then you fall. It happened to everyone, and it'll happen to us."
Maybe, but not just yet. Revolución de Amor features plenty of the usual Maná, the catchy, leechy kind that rockeros hate--but this time it's done intelligently, with good taste and with a vengeance. It's a guitar-oriented album, for which the band tried more than 100 guitars and dozens of amps, and the result is an earthy, analog feel, one of Maná's main goals.
"We want to sound studio when we're live, and live when we're at the studio," Olvera says. "We want to continue making artisan music, organic, natural...We don't mind little mistakes here and there; you just can't dehumanize music. You wouldn't buy a painting from a guy who did the thing on a computer."
Maná is a band of contradictions: The pop world loves them as much as the rock world scorns them, but in that pop world, Maná is all rock, from its lyrics about women, alcohol and pot to its political commitment, something that the Latin music industry as a rule considers passé (proudly zapatistas, pro-labor and pro-environment, the band members have never been shy with their opinions). Fresas or not, Maná is more genuinely aware of the world's social and economic environment than many of the so-called "serious" bands out there.
And while they've broken sales record after sales record, they've done it on their own terms--literally. "We're not actors," Olvera says, dismissing suggestions that the band sings in English to boost its crossover appeal. Not that it matters--with Revolución de Amor, Maná is closer to a realcrossover than anyone else in the business: Sung entirely in Spanish, the disc debuted at No. 22 on Billboard's Top 200 chart.
Olvera and Co. are a contradiction musically as well. They bounce from sugary ballads to Latin fusion to reggae, pop and rock, never fully embracing any one style; that fickleness is only mitigated by the rare talent of two guys (Olvera and the Cuban-born González) who still don't quite understand they might be the best songwriting team in all of Latin pop music.
"We had so many songs [for Revolución], we almost released a double album," says Olvera, drinking red wine under a full moon next to the Mondrian Hotel's swimming pool. "But that would have been a mistake. We decided to take it easy and save the songs for later. But we've never been so fired up."

Cheap eats (lunch) on 50st and 8 Ave
I recently started a new job in this area and it's been a while since I worked in midtown/west.
Any suggestions for good eat-in or takeout lunch spots that are under $8 in walking distance? Thanks!
re: a_and_w
I second the greek kitchen rec!
Luigi's pizza on 8th and mid 50s was not so bad when I worked in that area.
There's a wendy's and mcdonalds on 56, 57th or something .
Avenues are fairly long though.
But definitely hit 9th avenue.
double cooked pork lunch special at Grand Sichuan. It's a dollar more to sit inside than take out.
pad see ew, pad kra kow, lard na from Pam Real Thai. avoid the curry. You'll probably be drinking water fountain water and taking out. As it's probably close to 8 dollars after tax.
Go sushi. Not sure I would eat the sushi there (a lot of people do though) but the other stuff is fine. Don;t think you need to tip as it is self service.
10th avenue has
cheap 2 dollar taco joints like tulcingo de valle or Tehuitzingo Deli
and cheap indian places like desi deli.
re: twiggles
Strongly second the Azuri rec. Best deal is the small falafel combo platter.
re: twiggles
As an Israeli I appreciate good falafel. I will send you my report. thx for this info
re: ilanklein
You should also try Taim in the Village if you're Israeli...
It's kind of a tough area. Sosa Borella is a little more than that depending on what you order, but a good standby...it's right on the corner of 50th and 8th. The Amish market(not sure if that's the actual name) is on 9th Avenue b/t 49th and 50th and has good soups and sandwiches. Hale and Hearty is on 49th, just past 7th, as is Sapporo for pretty decent ramen. Also just tried Aki on 48th b/t 8th and Broadway and they had some great sushi lunch deals (2 rolls for $8?).
Wondee Siam and Wondee Siam II are on 9th ave around 50/54th. It's good Thai food. Also, a popular inexpensive restaurant is Vynl, on 9th Avenue between 50th and 52st. I second Azuri, as well.
Saigon 48 on 48th St between 8th and Broadway has a good lunch deal also. Most are $5.45 if I remember correctly and there's a wide variety of Vietnamese/Chinese food.
The house rolls at West Side Sushi are pretty good (~$5 a roll, 9th and 49th).
Fresco tortilla is cheap. Probably not the best tex-mex ever made but not bad for a quick bite (9th b/t 51 and 52).
Thalia take out has a few good pre-made items (on 50th, east of 8th).
Ray's Pizza has a decent slice (8th b/t 51 and 52)
re: ultbil
I personally prefer La Paloma (45th off 9th) and Tulcingo del Valle (47th and 10th) for inexpensive mexican. Try the chorizo tacos at the former, and the torta al pastor at the latter (ask for fresh avocado instead of guac).
When I lived in the area (going back 7 years already, the Renaissance Diner in the low 50s and either 8th or 9th (it really has been a long time) was always a dependable standby. Also you are not too far from Island Burgers which makes terrific chicken sandwiches (the el camino was my favorite). The burgers can be quite good also.
re: elecsheep9
I feel that Renaissance has slipped a bit. Try Cosmic on 8th and 52.
re: elecsheep9
What is Island Burgers address?
re: ilanklein
9th between 51st & 52nd
Check out http://www.midtownlunch.com
There's a bunch of eateries from 42nd+ on 9th Ave.
And if you can, run, don't walk to Daisy May's!
There's a place I go almost every Friday for sushi on 52nd between 8th and 9th, on the south side. It's next to a new burger joint, down a small flight of stairs. Too bad I don't know the name of it! They have really great lunch specials.It's best to order in or pick up as they have very limited seating. Or drop in off peak hours.
re: yumyumyogi
Aki Sushi II...and that new burge joint is lousy - dry, flavorless burgers
re: ultbil
Thanks! Never tried the burger place - looks a bit scary.
Yesterday I went to check out Amy's Bread on 9th Ave, between 46th & 47th.
I ordered a really great salad with quinoa, roasted beets, and walnuts with a choice of a roll. I got the oat, nut and raisin one - delicious! I also treated myself to a chocolate chip cookie.
Total? $9 and change. All super-scrumptious and satisfying. I think I got me a new lunch destination!
I second the recommendation for Island Burgers, but be prepared to put yourself in a food coma and to be a MESS. The burgers and chicken sandwiches are phenomenal, but they tend to be messy because they are often served on non-traditional breads (like massive slices of sourdough). The salads are excellent as well, and one is enough to share really. The milkshakes are pretty damn good too.
For good, homey Italian I like Basilica on 9th between 46th & 47th.
For Mexican I liked the taco take out from Ta Cocina, just a few doors down from the main restaurant on 49th and 9th.
And whoever recommended the Amish Market, I strongly agree, and yes it is the Amish Market. It's good on those days when you either don't know what you want and want to browse lots of options, or when you might have to pick up something for home.
For after work drinks and food I recommend the Russian Vodka Room on (I think) 52nd and 8th. It's sort of bizarre, but in a really fun way, if you can enjoy the kitschy piano bar singer, and the unnecessarily plush (if threadbare) surroundings. Great vodka selection, naturally, and some good Russian food, if that's not a contradiction in terms.

NVIDIA SHIELD: New Features and Promotional Price Cut
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile | March 25, 2014 - 03:01 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: shield, nvidia
The SHIELD from NVIDIA is getting a software update which advances GameStream, TegraZone, and the Android OS, itself, to KitKat. Personally, the GameStream enhancements seem most notable as it now allows users to access their home PC's gaming content outside of the home, as if it were a cloud server (but some other parts were interesting, too). Also, from now until the end of April, NVIDIA has temporarily cut the price down to $199.
Going into more detail: GameStream, now out of Beta, will stream games which are rendered on your gaming PC to your SHIELD. Typically, we have seen this through "cloud" services, such as OnLive and GaiKai, which allow access to a set of games that run on their servers (with varying license models). The fear with these services is the lack of ownership, but the advantage is that the slave device just needs enough power to decode an HD video stream.
In NVIDIA's case, the user owns both server (their standard NVIDIA-powered gaming PC, which can now be a laptop) and target device (the SHIELD). This technology was once limited to your own network (which definitely has its uses, especially for the SHIELD as a home theater device) but now can also be exposed over the internet. For this technology, NVIDIA recommends 5 megabit upload and download speeds - which is still a lot of upload bandwidth, even for 2014. In terms of performance, NVIDIA believes that it should live up to expectations set by their GRID. I do not have any experience with this, but others on the conference call took it as good news.
As for content, NVIDIA has expanded the number of supported titles to over a hundred, including new entries: Assassin's Creed IV, Batman: Arkham Origins, Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Daylight, Titanfall, and Dark Souls II. They also claim that users can add other apps which are not officially supported, Halo 2: Vista was mentioned as an example, for streaming. FPS and Bitrate can now be set by the user. A bluetooth mouse and keyboard can also be paired to SHIELD for that input type through GameStream.
Yeah, I don't like checkbox comparisons either. It's just a summary.
A new TegraZone was also briefly mentioned. Its main upgrade was apparently its library interface. There has also been a number of PC titles ported to Android recently, such as Mount and Blade: Warband.
The update is available now and the $199 promotion will last until the end of April.
Ubuntu powered Nexus 4

We have yet to see the launch of the purpose built Ubuntu smartphones but that didn't stop The Inquirer from getting a preview of the new Ubuntu Mobile OS. By installing the current version of the OS on a Nexus 4 they got a chance to see and use the new mobile OS. Similar in design to the version we have seen previously on tablets it will likely feel a bit odd to those used to a multi-window OS like Android though the interface wall allow customization. There will indeed be a Canonical App store but the open nature of Ubuntu will allow third-party stores to be set up, over and above supporting third-party apps. Check out the hands on review here.
"CANONICAL ANNOUNCED earlier this year that the first Ubuntu smartphones will be made by BQ and Meizu. That created a wave of interest in how the open source Linux operating system (OS) distribution will look and work on a smartphone or tablet."

GDC 14: WebCL 1.0 Specification is Released by Khronos
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile, Shows and Expos | March 19, 2014 - 09:03 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: WebCL, gdc 14, GDC
The Khronos Group has just ratified the standard for WebCL 1.0. The API is expected to provide a massive performance boost to web applications which are dominated by expensive functions which can be offloaded to parallel processors, such as GPUs and multi-core CPUs. Its definition also allows WebCL to communicate and share buffers between it and WebGL with an extension.
Frequent readers of the site might remember that I have a particular interest in WebCL. Based on OpenCL, it allows web apps to obtain a list of every available compute device and target it for workloads. I have personally executed tasks on an NVIDIA GeForce 670 discrete GPU and other jobs on my Intel HD 4000 iGPU, at the same time, using the WebCL prototype from Tomi Aarnio of Nokia Research. The same is true for users with multiple discrete GPUs installed in their system (even if they are not compatible with Crossfire, SLi, or are from different vendors altogether). This could be very useful for physics, AI, lighting, and other game middleware packages.
Still, browser adoption might be rocky for quite some time. Google, Mozilla, and Opera Software were each involved in the working draft. This leaves both Apple and Microsoft notably absent. Even then, I am not sure how much interest exists within Google, Mozilla, and Opera to take it from a specification to a working feature in their browsers. Some individuals have expressed more faith in WebGL compute shaders than WebCL.
Of course, that can change with just a single "killer app", library, or middleware.
I do expect some resistance from the platform holders, however. Even Google has been pushing back on OpenCL support in Android, in favor of their "Renderscript" abstraction. The performance of a graphics processor is also significant leverage for a native app. There is little, otherwise, that cannot be accomplished with Web standards except a web browser itself (and there is even some non-serious projects for that). If Microsoft can support WebGL, however, there is always hope.
The specification is available at the Khronos website.
GDC 14: EGL 1.5 Specification Released by Khronos
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile, Shows and Expos | March 19, 2014 - 09:02 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: OpenGL ES, opengl, opencl, gdc 14, GDC, EGL
The Khronos Group has also released their ratified specification for EGL 1.5. This API is at the center of data and event management between other Khronos APIs. This version increases security, interoperability between APIs, and support for many operating systems, including Android and 64-bit Linux.
The headline on the list of changes is the move that EGLImage objects makes, from the realm of extension into EGL 1.5's core functionality, giving developers a reliable method of transferring textures and renderbuffers between graphics contexts and APIs. Second on the list is the increased security around creating a graphics context, primarily designed for WebGL applications which any arbitrary website can become. Further down the list is the EGLSync object which allows further partnership between OpenGL (and OpenGL ES) and OpenCL. The GPU may not need CPU involvement when scheduling between tasks on both APIs.
During the call, the representative also wanted to mention that developers have asked them to bring EGL back to Windows. While it has not happened yet, they have announced that it is a current target.
The EGL 1.5 spec is available at the Khronos website.
GDC 14: SYCL 1.2 Provisional Spec Released by Khronos
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile, Shows and Expos | March 19, 2014 - 09:01 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: SYCL, opencl, gdc 14, GDC
To gather community feedback, the provisional specification for SYCL 1.2 has been released by The Khronos Group. SYCL extends itself upon OpenCL with the C++11 standard. This technology is built on another Khronos platform, SPIR, which allows the OpenCL C programming language to be mapped onto LLVM, with its hundreds of compatible languages (and Khronos is careful to note that they intend for anyone to make their own compatible alternative langauge).
In short, SPIR allows many languages which can compile into LLVM to take advantage of OpenCL. SYCL is the specification for creating C++11 libraries and compilers through SPIR.
As stated earlier, Khronos wants anyone to make their own compatible language:
While SYCL is one possible solution for developers, the OpenCL group encourages innovation in programming models for heterogeneous systems, either by building on top of the SPIR™ low-level intermediate representation, leveraging C++ programming techniques through SYCL, using the open source CLU libraries for prototyping, or by developing their own techniques.
SYCL 1.2 supports OpenCL 1.2 and they intend to develop it alongside OpenCL. Future releases are expected to support the latest OpenCL 2.0 specification and keep up with future developments.
The SYCL 1.2 provisional spec is available at the Khronos website.
GDC 14: OpenGL ES 3.1 Spec Released by Khronos Group
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile, Shows and Expos | March 17, 2014 - 09:01 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: OpenGL ES, opengl, Khronos, gdc 14, GDC
Today, day one of Game Developers Conference 2014, the Khronos Group has officially released the 3.1 specification for OpenGL ES. The main new feature, brought over from OpenGL 4, is the addition of compute shaders. This opens GPGPU functionality to mobile and embedded devices for applications developed in OpenGL ES, especially if the developer does not want to add OpenCL.
The update is backward-compatible with OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0 applications, allowing developers to add features, as available, for their existing apps. On the device side, most functionality is expected to be a driver update (in the majority of cases).
OpenGL ES, standing for OpenGL for Embedded Systems but is rarely branded as such, delivers what they consider the most important features from the graphics library to the majority of devices. The Khronos Group has been working toward merging ES with the "full" graphics library over time. The last release, OpenGL ES 3.0, was focused on becoming a direct subset of OpenGL 4.3. This release expands upon the feature-space it occupies.
OpenGL ES also forms the basis for WebGL. The current draft of WebGL 2.0 uses OpenGL ES 3.0 although that was not discussed today. I have heard murmurs (not from Khronos) about some parties pushing for compute shaders in that specification, which this announcement puts us closer to.
The new specification also adds other features, such as the ability to issue a draw without CPU intervention. You could imagine a particle simulation, for instance, that wants to draw the result after its compute shader terminates. Shading is also less rigid, where vertex and fragment shaders do not need to be explicitly linked into a program before they are used. I inquired about the possibility that compute devices could be targetted (for devices with two GPUs) and possibly load balanced, in a similar method to WebCL but no confirmation or denial was provided (although he did mention that it would be interesting for apps that fall somewhere in the middle of OpenGL ES and OpenCL).
The OpenGL ES 3.1 spec is available at the Khronos website.
Maxwell and Kepler and...Fermi?
Covering the landscape of mobile GPUs can be a harrowing experience. Brands, specifications, performance, features and architectures can all vary from product to product, even inside the same family. Rebranding is rampant from both AMD and NVIDIA and, in general, we are met with one of the most confusing segments of the PC hardware market.
Today, with the release of the GeForce GTX 800M series from NVIDIA, we are getting all of the above in one form or another. We will also see performance improvements and the introduction of the new Maxwell architecture (in a few parts at least). Along with the GeForce GTX 800M parts, you will also find the GeForce 840M, 830M and 820M offerings at lower performance, wattage and price levels.
With some new hardware comes a collection of new software for mobile users, including the innovative Battery Boost that can increase unplugged gaming time by using frame rate limiting and other "magic" bits that NVIDIA isn't talking about yet. ShadowPlay and GameStream also find their way to mobile GeForce users as well.
Let's take a quick look at the new hardware specifications.

Both the GTX 880M and the GTX 870M are based on Kepler, keeping the same basic feature set and hardware specifications of their brethren in the GTX 700M line. However, while the GTX 880M has the same CUDA core count as the 780M, the same cannot be said of the GTX 870M. Moving from the GTX 770M to the 870M sees a significant 40% increase in core count as well as a jump in clock speed from 811 MHz (plus Boost) to 941 MHz.

Microsoft, Along with AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm, Will Announce DirectX 12 at GDC 2014
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile, Shows and Expos | March 5, 2014 - 08:28 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: qualcomm, nvidia, microsoft, Intel, gdc 14, GDC, DirectX 12, amd
The announcement of DirectX 12 has been given a date and time via a blog post on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) blogs. On March 20th at 10:00am (I assume PDT), a few days into the 2014 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, California, the upcoming specification should be detailed for attendees. Apparently, four GPU manufacturers will also be involved with the announcement: AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm.
As we reported last week, DirectX 12 is expected to target increased hardware control and decreased CPU overhead for added performance in "cutting-edge 3D graphics" applications. Really, this is the best time for it. Graphics processors are mostly settled into highly-efficient co-processors of parallel data, with some specialized logic for geometry and video tasks. A new specification can relax the needs of video drivers and thus keep the GPU (or GPUs, in Mantle's case) loaded and utilized.
But, to me, the most interesting part of this announcement is the nod to Qualcomm. Microsoft values DirectX as leverage over other x86 and ARM-based operating systems. With Qualcomm, clearly Microsoft believes that either Windows RT or Windows Phone will benefit from the API's next version. While it will probably make PC gamers nervous, mobile platforms will benefit most from reducing CPU overhead, especially if it can be spread out over multiple cores.
Honestly, that is fine by me. As long as Microsoft returns to treating the PC as a first-class citizen, I do not mind them helping mobile, too. We will definitely keep you up to date as we know more.
Verizon ALLSET Pre-Paid Plans Offer Rollover Mobile Data
Subject: Mobile | March 4, 2014 - 01:33 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: verizon, rollover data, mobile data, data caps, allset
Verizon has taken the wraps off of a new pre-paid cell phone plan called "ALLSET." The plans offer unlimited calling, unlimited texting, and 500MB of base data for $35/month for feature phones and $45 a month for smartphones. At first glance, they are pretty standard fare, and not the cheapest pre-paid option either. However, Verizon has added a bit of a twist to the pre-paid equation by allowing ALLSET users to add "Bridge Data" on top of the base plan's 500MB cap that can be rolled over to future months if not used right away.
The ALLSET plans come with a 500MB (or 1GB if enrolled in Auto Pay) of cellular data each month that cannot be saved. From there, users can purchase up to two data packages that can be saved or rolled over to future months if not used right away. The Bridge Data packs work out to $5 for 500MB, $10 for 1GB, or $20 for 3GB. Users can save the $5 (500MB) pack for a month while the $10 (1GB) and $20 (3GB) packs can be saved or have the remaining bits rolled over for up to three months after purchase. The base data is used first, after which the first package is used completely before dipping into the second package (if purchased at all), which is important to consider in relation to the expiration dates.
In another bit of good news for ALLSET users, Verizon allows the mobile hotspot feature which is extremely rare for the cellphone industry (without charging an additional fee).
The system is not perfect due to the short expiration dates (at most 90 days) for rollover and the fact that base data cannot be saved (only the additional bridge data packs), but it is definitely a step in the right direction and a feature I have been wanting to see for years now. Hopefully this encourages other providers to consider rollover data plans, and the competition forces relaxed restrictions on the expiry of rollover data.
Samsung Launching 11-Inch and 13-Inch Chromebook 2s
Subject: Mobile | March 3, 2014 - 05:58 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Samsung, exynos 5, chromebook 2, Chromebook, chrome os, arm
Samsung is bringing a new Chromebook to market next month. Coming in 11-inch and 13-inch form factors the new Samsung Chromebook 2 offers updated hardware and more than eight hours of battery life.
The Chromebook 2 will be available in 11.6" and 13.3" models. The smaller variant will come in white or black while the larger SKU is only available in gray. The lids use a soft touch plastic that resembles stitched leather like that found on some Samsung smartphones. The 11.6" is 0.66-inches thick and weighs 2.43 pounds. The 13.3" model is 0.65-inches thick and weighs 3.09 pounds. The 11.6" Chromebook 2 has a 1366x768 display while the 13.3" Chromebook uses a 1920 x 1080 resolution display.
Internally, the Chromebook 2 is powered by an unspecified Exynos 5 Octa SoC at either 1.9GHz (11.6") or 2.1GHz (13.3"), 4GB of DDR3L memory, and 16GB internal SSD storage. Internal radios include 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. Samsung rates the battery life at 8 hours for the 11.6" Chromebook and 8.5 hours for the 13.3" Chromebook.
Beyond the wireless tech, I/O includes one USB 3.0 port, one USB 2.0 port, one HDMI, one headphone output, and one micro SD card slot. This port configuration is available on both Chromebook 2 sizes.
Samsung is launching its Chromebook 2 in April at $319.99 and $399.99 for the 11.6" and 13.3" respectively. This new Chromebook is coming to a competitive market that is increasingly packed with Bay Trail-powered Windows 8.1 notebooks (and tablets) that are getting cheaper and Android tablets that are getting more features and more powerful thanks to new ARM-based SoCs. I'm interested to see what platform users start gravitating towards, is the cloud-connected Chrome OS good enough when paired with good battery life and a physical keyboard?
Are you looking forward to Samsung's new Chromebook 2?

"Orange is the New Black" recap (1.5): The Chickening
Guard station!
It's getting even cuter. Bennett finds a note from Diaz with a drawing of him on the back.
Turns out the dust masks are just for the guards. Nice. Chapman tells Nichols (Hiiiii, Nichols!) that she really saw the Phantom Chicken. Nichols, ever practical, is a skeptic. Nichols admits that she and Morello are on a break on account of the whole Morello being engaged thing, but Nichols says her engagement is doomed and she'll be back.
Diaz is terrible at scorekeeping because she's in lurve. Morello and Chapman are out looking for the chicken. Another inmate tells the domino players that some people smuggle drugs in birds, and that the chicken could be valuable. Mom Diaz says it's a fairy tale, but the other inmate says there could be a thousand bucks stuffed up that chicken butt. End of domino game. …And then the basketball players see that all the domino players are also looking for the chicken.
Mom Diaz totally knows about Bennett. She advises Diaz to bang a guard who will be grateful enough to bring her stuff instead of sleeping with one for love.
Diaz Flashback!
Young Diaz comes home. Her kids sister is hungry, but she can't go in the kitchen because drug stuff is happening in there. Holy damn, does Mom Diaz know how to keep a man in line. She stops him from getting Diaz to make mac and cheese by shaming him for being a child and "wearing Superman undies" until he gives Diaz money to buy her little sister some real food. Mom Diaz has some unconventional child-rearing techniques.
Yoga time!
I've missed you, Yoga Jones! Morello is hating yoga. The AA group comes into the yoga room because the chapel is gone. Nichols and Crazy Eyes immediately start ogling everyone, and of course Alex ogles Chapman. Yoga Jones is not having it. She leaves just before Chapman rolls up her mat and stalks out.

"Dumb as a bag of rocks" would be my preferred euphemism. :-) Thanks for the translations, by the way. I saw this strip the first time and had to look up all the cockneyisms and such … and then promptly forgot them!

It is, but Here Comes the Sun is one of the songs on the album. :-)
Women priests make sense for so many reasons. In the patriarchal world it may have been acceptable to relegate women to other roles within the Church, but in the modern world, it's an outdated concept to bar them from serving as priests. AND it may actually help improve diminishing church attendance as well as directly helping with the diminishing number of men entering the priesthood.
I hope the Holy Father takes a decisive stance and changes the church's rules on this. He may do so as it is not so much a matter of religious doctrine as church tradition that has prevented women from becoming priests thus far. The Church has to do something radical or may find itself without a flock some day.
Bully for you, Mr. Meddick, you did it again! :-)
Oh, Happy Independence Day, all!!

Slovenia's police union is demanding a referendum on the government's austerity program, a move that would risk delaying the implementation of about 800 million euros ($1.02 billion) of savings.
Lawmakers on May 11 approved budget measures and other legislation to cut this year's shortfall to about 3 percent of gross domestic product. Slovenia is seeking to allay investor concern over the sustainability of its debt load, which more than doubled since 2007, when the country adopted the euro.
"The legislation to balance public finances is intruding in the lives of all inhabitants of Slovenia, not only workers in the public sector," the Ljubljana-based union said in an e-mail today after submitting more than 4,700 signatures. The parliamentary speaker must set a deadline to collect more than 40,000 signatures before approving a referendum.
A popular vote may derail the government's efforts to trim public spending and enact a so-called fiscal compact inspired by Germany as concern mounts the 17-member euro region may splinter following the inconclusive vote in Greece.
The majority of public-sector unions gave their support to the measures in talks with the government last week.
"The situation is very serious," Prime Minister Janez Jansa said, according to Delo newspaper. "Self-willed trade unions could give a fatal blow to Slovenia."
Voters in Slovenia rejected pension changes in a referendum last year that would have extended the retirement age to 65. That decision and the intensifying debt crisis in Europe caused a collapse of the government of then-Prime Minister Borut Pahor in September. After that, Slovenia had its credit ratings cut and saw its borrowing costs on the benchmark bond surge to over 7 percent.

Mets Writer Notes Team Hasn't Balked All Year; Mets Immediately Balk
This is just beautiful: »
This is just beautiful: »
Illuminati-related? Probably not. (But probably.) »
It hasn't been a great season for the Mets, who will miss the playoffs for the eighth consecutive season, but one of the bright spots has been pitcher/ Rookie of the Year candidate Jacob deGrom. His campaign got a serious boost tonight, when deGrom struck out the first eight batters he faced before giving up a single… »
I'd say this story belongs in the LOLMets pantheon, but this is less "ha ha" funny than it is "wow, the Mets appear to be run by a tremendously scummy sexist" funny. »
Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna, who has previously made good throws, was attempting to throw home on David Wright's two-run single with the bases loaded yesterday. It was not good. »
Andrelton Simmons made an incredible defensive play last night, which isn't really news at this point, but this one in particular is notable because it just so happened to be a game-saving play. »
Yasiel Puig tried to score from second base on a ground-ball double play in the bottom of the sixth inning against the Mets. He did not score; he turned a double play into a triple play. So...it did not go well. »
One of these days, Mike Lupica needs to remember — and that probably means before he hurts his brain again — that his job is to be a star sportswriter, not some sort of needy scold who acts as if he gets the bends when he is out of the spotlight for very long. »
New York Daily News baseball writer Andy Martino published a unique notes column earlier this week. It's an introspective look at a question reporters probably don't ask themselves enough: Do they spin their reporting to favor athletes they like? »
Did you think you were safe because the weekend was over, Hunter Pence? Sick burns take NO DAYS OFF. »
Damn! Are you going to defend yourself, Hunter Pence, or let this dude trash your parallel parking skills? »
Huffington Post editor Andy Campbell went to Citi Field earlier this month to cover the Mets' annual fan sleepover. Because this event was hosted by the Mets, he came home with a gross rash on his body. »
We rag on the Mets here a good amount—mostly because it's so much fun—but tonight, during a 6-0 loss to the Phillies, the team twitter account got in on the joke and had some fun. With a healthy dose of self awareness and self-loathing humor, the twitter account presented the Mets Fan Experience, in eight tweets. »
Ruben Tejada left today's Mets-Mariners game in Seattle after being hit in the head by a 93 mph fastball from Taijuan Walker. »
Dustin Ackley was kicked out of second base when Robinson Cano signed with the Seattle Mariners, but last night against the Mets, he proved to be a fine left fielder. »
After Juan Lagares popped out in foul territory with two men on against the Braves, this guy just couldn't handle the Mets' inability to score. The team was 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position in a 3-1 loss Thursday night, with nine runners left on base, and the man in the front row was fed up. We have likely all… »
This Marcell Ozuna highlight is from Friday night, but it's still awesome enough to post now. »
This is not a prank. We have obtained footage of Bartolo Colon running. I repeat, this is real. Bartolo Colon ran in an actual baseball game. »
Look, man, I know it must be rough to be on the Mets. But self-abuse is not the answer. »

Are AppleFit diet pills safe to take?
- Q: I would like to ask, is it safe to take an AppleFit diet pills?
- A: Nutritional and herbal supplements are not evaluated bythe Food and Drug Administration, so, they have not been approved for safe and effective use in the treatment of medical conditions. And their manufacturers aren't required by law to prove they work. There are also no regulated manufacturing standards in place for many herbal compounds and some marketed supplements have been found to be contaminated with toxic metals or other drugs. Herbal/health supplements should be purchased from a reliable source to minimize the risk of contamination. When looking for supplements, check to see that the bottle has a USP (United States Pharmacopeia) or DSVP (Dietary Supplement Verification Program) stamp. These organizations assure that the content claims on the label are true. You can also check out Consumerlab.com, a Web site that reviews vitamins, before you make any purchases. This website may help you decide if AppleFit is a wise purchase. Always read and follow the complete directions and warnings on over-the-counter products and discuss their use with your health care provider before taking them. You may also find helpful information at http://www.everydayhealth.com/diet-nutrition/101.aspx and http://www.everydayhealth.com/alternative-health/the-basics.aspx Sarah McKenney Lewis, PharmD

Solar Powers Spanish Cheese Factory
German-based Conergy has installed a 200 kW solar plant on 16,145 square feet of roof space of the cheese factory Baltasar Moralejo e Hijos at the sheep farm Finca Pago Los Vivales in Spain.
Some 800 Conergy P-series modules will be producing around 300,000 kWh of electricity each year on top of the factory buildings, supplying roughly 55 percent of the cheese producer's electricity consumption for the manufacture of its raw milk and hard cheese products.
In related news, Conergy installed a 1.2 MW solar carport at Spain's University of Almería. The students and teaching staff will be able to park their cars in the shade, and at the same time, the power plant will produce solar power directly on the campus. The 4,950 Conergy P-series modules on the university car park will generate 1.75 million kWh per year, corresponding to 25 percent of the university's electricity requirements.
Universidad de Almería has a research center for solar energy on its campus in collaboration with the public institute for energy, environmental protection and technology, CIEMAT (Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas). With the new solar power plant, the students will be able to experience solar power first hand, in the laboratories and testing facilities as well as in reality.
Elsamex, an energy service company, invested more than $3.3 million in the carport and will be the operator of the power plant.
Solar is an attractive option in sunny Spain. In December, General Mills announced it was renting out the roof of its San Adrian plant in northern Spain for the installation of nearly 4,500 solar panels. The solar installation generates about 1.5 million kWh annually, which goes into the network of the Spanish utility Iberdrola.

From the beginning, this program did accepted entries made of paper and they requested to attach photos and the applicant's signature. In the year 2003 it was totally changed to electronic application form for the DV 2005 and the official name for it is E-DV entry form.
It is still continuing to be provided each year and it is very easy to download, fill, submit and to get the applicants' confirmation number. In the paper application period, there was no confirmation numbers issued to the participants. And the applicants were in total blackout whether their entries had reached the KCC or not.
Currently available web based application system allows applicants to enter the draw in the given 30 day's period every year.
On the other days the web site will not have any link to get it.
It will be available as an active one for 60 minutes only. If you took more than 60 minutes to up load it back, then a new one should be downloaded and filled as the previous one will be considered as expired for passing the time period.
Also it will ask for path to upload your digital image file from your computer.
If it is not completely filled, it won't be accepted and will be shown back with the red colored high lighted empty fields.
You can submit it again and again till you get confirmation code in the computer screen.
A person can enter only one application form as primary applicant and if more than one is submitted then all of them will be disqualified with out any notice to the person.
The State department uses many sophisticated methods to find out and reject those multiple entries from persons who are trying to fraud the system.
There are many instances those agents had intercepted the winning notifications and claimed money from the legitimate winners.
This year program (2014) is expected to be named as DV-2016.

Many activists felt Reid used DADT repeal as a political tool ahead of the 2010 mid-term elections. The letter comes on the heels of the release of a Pentagon study on DADT earlier in the week. The Senate Armed Services Committee is scheduled to hold hearings on the report Thursday and Friday of this week. SHARE ON Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Your email address will not be published.

My copy should be shipping soon since I pre-ordered online.

Studio Ghibli Bluray Review-a-thon FINAL: My Neighbor Totoro
The Ghiblithon concludes with Miyazaki's most universally beloved film, the heartwarming (and extremely profitable) My Neighbor Totoro. ― In many ways, My Neighbor Totoro is the quintessential representation of Studio Ghibli. Aside from its infinitely marketable critters, and the fact that Totoro graces the logo of the production house, the film embodies many of the qualities that Ghibli films have c...
Answerman - Hangovers from Turkey, Hangovers from Life
Why do some shows have black borders around the picture? Will we ever see Ronja the Robber's Daughter? What's with celebrities in Japanese ads, and are there really that many problem discs being released? ― Obviously I'm writing this column a couple of days early, but you're seeing it on Black Friday. Otherwise known as the day Americans stop all that "being thankful" nonsense and start going to the...
Studio Ghibli Bluray Review-a-thon Day 10: Howl's Moving Castle
It's the second-to-last day of the Ghiblithon and that means it's time to explore the weird, wild, occasionally nonsensical world of Howl and Sadie. ― As Hayao Miyazaki films by Studio Ghibli go, this 2004 adaptation of the novel by acclaimed British author Diana Wynne Jones stands somewhere in the middle of the pack. Though it earned the second Academy Award nomination for a Miyazaki work, it is nei...
House of 1000 Manga - Summit of the Gods
Shaenon gives thanks today for Jiro Taniguchi's manly man manga about manly men scaling manly mountains. ― The Summit of the Gods Jiro Taniguchi is an artist who hasn't made nearly as many appearances in the House of 1,000 Manga as he could.

That's OK with me. We'll move on to Christmas and its surrounding video game releases. One of th...
Studio Ghibli Bluray Review-a-thon Day 9: Kiki's Delivery Service
The Ghiblithon starts winding down with the last of three new bluray releases, the tale of a little witch, her talking cat, and a whole lot of coming of age. ― Kiki's Delivery Service was not Hayao Miyazaki's movie at first. Based on the book by Eiko Kadono, the film initially rested with a team of younger animators at Studio Ghibli. Yet the project hit snags, and Miyazaki, as he often does at his st...
Studio Ghibli Bluray Review-a-thon Day 8: Princess Mononoke
Day 8 of the Ghiblithon is all about one of Miyazaki's most celebrated films, arriving on bluray this month in a somewhat compromised, but still gorgeous, state. ― There was a brief moment where Hayao Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke was the top-grossing film in Japan. It came out in the summer of 1997 there, and it was an instant phenomenon, its box office glory stolen mere months later when James Camer...

X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos has promised fans there is "lots to tell" after it was revealed she is releasing her autobiography later this year.
The 23-year-old will also publish two novels in 2013 and 2014 as part of a book deal she signed with publisher Headline.
She said: "I'm really excited to start work on these books. Having my novels published is a dream come true for me.
"I'm also looking forward to sharing my life story so far, I've got lots to tell."
The N-Dubz star is expected to tell all about her childhood in north London, where she was a carer for her mother who struggled with mental illness, and her rise to fame.
Deputy publishing director Sarah Emsley said of Tulisa's book:
"Tulisa's story has incredible breadth and depth for someone so young, and we are absolutely thrilled that she has chosen Headline to be her publisher."

Trickle says, "There's going to be dead body ... suicide." As TMZ, which obtained the tape, noted, after giving details about where his body could be found, the operator asked him if he was calling about somebody else. "No, I'm the one," he said. The operator begged Trickle not to take his life.

The collection includes one long sonnet sequence of 22 leaves, dealing in part with the Marche region of Italy, with some anti-clerical overtones. Also among the material is a verse letter addressed to Salvatore Vanni from ex-Canon Celli asking for financial assistance. Perhaps the most interesting items are the two recipes for the making of vermouth and aqua vitae. There are two printed items, both written during the fascist period, one entitled "Il Modernismo," being a clever attack by Canon Fabriano upon the various religious fads of the time. * * * * * * *

This is the 4th production by the Pacific Opera Project that I've been to and they have all been great. First of all, the voices are wonderful, the orchestra excellent under difficult circumstances, the acting good and the overall approach is to have fun - both the folks on stage and in the audience. Poobah was especially good! Now I know what a Grand Poobah really is! I look forward to more shows. Go, POP!

POPS version just didn't do it for us. Not as funny. Much dryer.

Awesome! An upbeat, colorful and vibrant performance given by all; singers were A+! Definitely not what I expected an off the beaten path type of opera! Memorable.

Phil Harding, managing director of Holden Special Vehicles, says the Australian power wars are effectively over. GoAuto has quoted Harding as saying that it's simply becoming too expensive to continue to pursue ever more engine performance thanks in part due to extensive certification, homologation, development and testing requirements. Whereas HSV was once able to extract an extra 67 horsepower from an engine with a given investment, the same outlay today will see a bump of less than 7 hp, according to Harding. The executive also said Holden has reached the upper legal limit of what's possible with LS3 engine development. In its most potent configuration, the company is pulling around 436 hp from the naturally aspirated V8. Of course, buyers can still step up to the 577-hp supercharged V8 in the HSV GTS (shown).
Meanwhile, few analysts believe Ford will step up to challenge that machine's power dominance. With Ford announcing it will stop producing vehicles in Australia after 2016 (including its long-running Falcon series), the future of high-performance models specific to the Australian market seems in doubt.

Customers rave about the quick response from the Buckeye Tool Guy, a former schoolteacher who's owned and operated his own construction and repair business since 1989. Frank's Home Repair specializes in all manner of household refurbishment, from electrical and plumbing work to carpentry and drywall installation. Like a rubber couch, Frank works just as well indoors and out, and he also works alone, calling upon more than 20 years of handy experience to attend to a wide variety of household needs.
For nearly two decades, the techs at The Furnace Man Heating and Cooling have tamed interior climates and increased system efficiency with their HVAC and furnace maintenance and repairs. Prior to undertaking costly tinkering, they'll check to determine whether the most cost-effective option is repair, replacement, or relocating the house to the tropics. The tech team is certified by the EPA and the North American Technician Excellence, and their work is bonded, licensed, and insured.
The licensed and insured craftsmen at Handyman Connection each have at least 10 years of experience in solving edifice enigmas and tending to the structural integrity of domiciles. A variety of services are available for your home-enhancement convenience and range from everyday repairs and installations to larger-scale projects. Though pricing varies by project, this Groupon roughly translates to two hours of labor for most common renovation services. Enlist a Handyman Connection professional to improve and enhance the state of your abode by repairing a leaky faucet, installing a ceiling fan, mending a fence, replacing a drafty window with energy-saving glass, or replacing a drafty window with a portal to a balmier dimension.

For more than 15 years, Van Handy's team of expert home fixers has been tackling household jobs of all sizes.

In addition to general handyman services—including plumbing and electric work—they repair drywall, renovate bathrooms and basements, and add additions to houses. They also deftly build decks, repair roofs, and transform rooms with carpet, tile, or hardwood. Rather than change their homes' color schemes by splashing the walls with spaghetti sauce, homeowners can summon Van Handy's crew for professional paint jobs.
The uniformed, fully insured technicians at Handyman Professionals arrive at homes 24 hours a day to tackle plumbing, electrical, and carpentry projects of all sizes. Techs can be deployed for bathroom and kitchen installation, custom cabinetry, pressure washing, and even weatherproofing. If time remains after a handyman paints a room or cleans the gutters, homeowners can request a lock installation to protect their valuables or prized collection of candy rings.

T-Mobile calls it a day for WAP
UK operator T-Mobile is disconnecting its CSD-WAP subscribers from July 9th, suggesting customers might like to switch to GPRS or something a little more 21st century, and disposing of pay-per-minute internet access. Circuit Switched Data (CSD) was how mobile phones accessed data services in the early days, or at least the …
They were the days....
I remember I got one of the first WAP enabled phones. The tariff I was on allowed for free internet at the weekend. I loved it..... I miss the waiting.....
Good riddance
Always was a load of old cWAP
it's not the speed
its the crappy little screens on mobiles. I, like probably a lot of other people, will quite happily wait until I get home to use a computer with a proper screen to access the internet.
CWAP since it first emerged...
CSD isn't all dead
3G Video calling still uses...oh yeah it's dead.
Hm... well most PAYG handsets over here were forced to use CSD only, as GPRS was considered "contract only" by the largest operator (Telcel). The cheap-rate operators using CDMA2000, however, switched on their EVDO and beat Telcel to the 3G market, *and* gave it away at a fairly good pricing.
Come March 2008, Telcel finally released 3G in some cities, and 2 weeks ago it finally freed up GPRS/EDGE/3G for PAYG users. But at their extortionate rates, I doubt any PAYG user would want to pony up that kind of cash ... my "test run" ate through my remaining $16 doing a small 2Mb transfer ... which was cut off *because I ran out of credit*.
Guess why mobile internet isn't that big a hit over here...
With speeds like that I would fly on VM
I wish i had the wap speeds on my virgin media when I get capped...
Apple have not proven anything worth note of anyone with much sense.
They have proven that some specially designed, lo-fi sites created specifically for use on a single screen resolution (which to be fair is quite large) can be usable.
I worked that out 3 years ago.
GPRS price
I used to use CSD instead of GPRS due to the fact that the dialup number was included in my free minutes whilst GPRS access was a stupid price.
I never thought WAP was that bad, extremely badly advertised, but it was revolutionary at the time. I remember writing a tool to pull news and things from other websites and build a wap site. I even wrote a WAP site viewer in Visual Basic. Those were the days......
WAP worked
Chris is right - CSD did the job, and it was generally cheaper or included. It actually went up to 14.4k (whoo-hoo!) and if your operator did HSCSD, which bonded multiple CSD channels together, it equalled GPRS.
CSD was fine for downloading email (headers plus top kB only, not all the attached junk, but WTF wants that anyway??) and WAP sites.
Plus, if a web designer can't fit their site into a few kB of WAP text, it's almost certainly just unwanted chrome & crap anyway....
There's a lot to be said for CSD batch-style access. Not everything needs to have an always-on GPRS/3G-type connection.
virgin media @ 9kb
dear anonymous
i smell bullshit here and its not coming from virgin media
Free WAP
My provider allowed free WAP access, which was great. I used to check the train timetable for free, very useful it was too.
@Bryan B
IIRC the 14.4 service was HSCSD and using bonded channels to get that speed. I was using it on a Journada 540 with an IR link to a 6210 back in the day for mobile internet. GPRS brought it to landline dialup speed, then I got into smartphones. Normal websites were fantastic on my 6600 running Netfront as the browser which rearranged the site to work with the screen when told to. This was usable 3g full web browsing before ipods let alone iphones...
Not to be an apple-basher, but...
While the phone's GUI might be nice, Opera mobile and Opera mini have been far more influential, worldwide. They will run on most phones, on any connection speed with a nearly perfect interface.
I do think it's their browser, and the tech behind it that's really made mobile browsing a viable option, even if not everyone's heard of it yet. I hate to see it not get a mention.
I must concede that browsing on an iphone must be nice though.
