Why 2012 was pivotal for next-gen transportation
Send this to a friend
- Stephanie Levine, Oregon CUB
2012 was a pivotal year for the electric vehicle industry, in both Oregon and throughout the United States. We expect to keep that momentum revving this year with tax incentives, lower price points, more choice, better infrastructure and more.
In the past 12 months, U.S. sales of electric and hybrid cars skyrocketed, up 73 percent from 2011. Sales keep rising as more models become available, alongside tempting lease deals. Electric vehicle charging infrastructure has also expanded, thanks in part to federally funded initiatives like the EV Project. The number of public charging stations in the U.S. now totals more than 4,100. The Oregon Department of Transportation has been busy installing "DC Fast Charger" stations up and down Oregon's major roadways. The prevalence of new charging infrastructure is alleviating range anxiety — the worries many have about the range limitations of a battery-powered vehicle.
Looking ahead into 2013, the outlook for the electric vehicle this year is promising. Almost every major automaker will have a hybrid electric or all electric vehicle on the market by the end of 2013. The Nissan LEAF, Toyota Plug-in Prius, and Chevy Volt — the three top-selling models currently available — will be joined by a host of other cars, giving consumers options in price, size, and performance. The Chevy Spark EV is scheduled to debut here in Oregon and in California this summer, giving Oregonians even more options from which to choose.
With so much competition arriving in the industry, prices are expected to drop. Federal tax credits will continue to help lower the upfront cost on electric vehicles, and consumers can still cash in on federal tax credits for purchasing a charging station for their home.

For ex. in one of my template when i activate stream in the module , the menu is over the module and seems very ugly for my user experience.
You could just send a support ticket to get quickly a simple solution. Your menu is positioned on higher layer (z-index) than Like Box. Also it is described on documentation page how to easily change z-index in one CSS file at the beginning. I did not move Like Box on higher layer because it would cover Joomla Calendar if present or even Lightbox.

Sony released a massive Q&A on their website today, answering many questions gamers had about the PlayStation 4. The Q&A revealed many features of the PS3 will not be returning to Sony's new console, which launches in about two weeks on November 15.
Perhaps the most significant feature removed is the PS4 will not support external hard drives like the PS3. This leaves the PS4 with a 500 GB internal hard drive, which will likely be used up quickly when you consider the file size for Battlefield 4 is almost 35 GB and the install size for Killzone: Shadow Fall is a whopping 50 GB. In the Q&A, Sony said players will be able to replace the stock hard drive if they need more space. Continue reading "Here Are the PlayStation 3 Features the PS4 Lacks" »
In a surge of news that might very well harm EA financially (as well as their status with fans), CFO Blake Jorgensen spoke with investors via conference call, informing them that the multiple-award winning, upcoming video game Titanfall will not be released on the PS4.
While there had been no news that Titanfall would make it's way to Sony, there were many people who believed that the corporation behind the game, Respawn Entertainment, once free of it's console-exclusivity contract with Microsoft, would eventually make it's way into the hands of PS4 fans as well. Unfortunately, that is not the case here and that rumor has officially been squashed. Continue reading "Titanfall Never Coming To PS4 — It Was Always Just A Rumor" »
The people at Valve Corporation who reported that Steam has hit a staggering sixty-five million accounts. Steam, which is where many well-known Indie Games first got their start, has been the catalyst that perspective game designers needed to level the playing field and give their ideas a fighting chance.
In October of 2012, Valve expanded upon their website, allowing in-game voice chat, community features, and the inclusion of non-game developers as well, thusly contributing to the flourishing of the Steam as a whole. Downloadble for all, computer platforms (Including the redheaded stepchild that is Linux), Steam has been a forerunner in the Indie game business, and a veritable tool to both game-developers and gamers, with Steam reported to have an estimated 50–70% share of the digital distribution market for downloadable PC games. Continue reading "Steam Hits 65 Million Accounts" »
To go along with the new release of Battlefield 4 tonight in the 1337LoungeLive, we've put together a list of all the new features you can expect to see from the game.
One of the largest and most distinguished elements of Battlefield 4 have always been large, dynamic multiplayer maps. The wrinkle in BF4 is the buildings included in some of these maps are now fully destructible. For instance, you could be standing atop a skyscraper as it's about to collapse, then parachute safely to the ground below. Even as you hide behind a certain structure, you may not have protection for long as it's torn apart by enemy fire. Accompanying these large maps is the ability to play with up to 64 players at one time, on the Xbox One and PS4. Currently, the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions can house 24 players.
Battlefield 4 will include many classic Gamemodes from Battlefield 3, including the classic Conquest, Domination, Rush, and Squad Deathmatch. With these, you can also expect two brand new gamemodes, Obliteration and Defuse. In Obliteration, you will find your team fighting to drop a bomb off at three opponent objectives. The bomb will spawn in a random location at the beginning of the game and after each successful drop. The game ends when one team has lost all three of their objectives.
"Defuse" is the second new and mode, and puts players in a 5 vs 5 match with only two ways to win. Either eliminate the enemy team, or successfully arm and detonate a specific objective. The trick to this gamemode is that every player has only a single life per round, so every shot counts.
Battlefield 4 also brings us the return of Commander Mode. This allows a player of proper rank to enter into an online match as a Commander to give extra team support, with only two commanders allowed in each match and with multiple tasks that they can perform. These levels include Intel Gathering, Supply, and Offense.
With Intel Gathering, Commanders will have access to a full top-down view of the battlefield, and the status of the match. Here they can update their team about enemy positions and High Value Targets. Supply will allow a Commander to keep his team stocked with ammunition and vehicles. Lastly, a Commander can use an Offensive level to launch Tomahawk missiles and Gunship strikes on enemy locations. There is even an app for tablets that will allow players to command matches from anywhere. This app will release November 19th.
If this hasn't already convinced you to get your own copy of Battlefield 4, maybe Gamestop's Black Friday Deals leak will. The game will supposedly be on sale for $29.99 this Black Friday, so if you don't want to purchase it for 60 bucks today, check it out later next month.
Time and time again, there have been calls for a stricter, more understandable guideline that comes with the ESRB rating system–one that both parents (especially those who have no idea that Mortal Kombat isn't a total gore-fest) and children can understand. It it looks as if we finally have that guideline; what's more is that it's been approved by our own Veep, Joe Biden, who raved about the commercial on his twitter:
Easy to understand and family friendly, this commercial is just what is needed in the gaming world to explain the ESRB system to those who may or may not have a full understanding of the system. The ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) was originally put into action back in 1994, and all thanks to the Mortal Kombat franchise, which since it's debut game in 1992, has grown increasingly violent over the years:
People have often questioned whether or not the ESRB system is actually effective–particularly in cases where you hear of a child playing an M-rated game, and committing some sort of violent crime due to he or she being "influenced" by the game. After all, unlike the effective Pegi System of Europe, which explicitly depicts which ages are appropriate for a certain game, as well as what content the game possesses, a lot of parents here in America look at the E, A, M, and T ratings and don't think anything of it (Which, again, can be chalked up to lackluster parenting skills and laziness). Here is comparison of the Pegi system against the ESRB:
While both systems are equally effective (to a certain extent), the main point of the ESRB and PEGI systems is to inform parents of what their children are playing. What it boils down to is parents taking the time to find out why that new Grand Theft Auto game has a giant M for "Mature" as opposed to thinking that the "M" stands for "Mega version" or something to that effect.
Ignorance is not bliss.
The newest addition to the Halo franchise, Halo: Spartan Assault, will soon be available on the XBox 360 and it's successor, the XBox One. The console version of the game will feature a brand new and an online co-op feature as well. Originally released this past summer for mobile and PC gaming running on Windows 8 (trailer featured below), the top-down, third-person, twin-stick shooter has been confirmed by Microsoft to make it's debut as a downloadable game.

It hasn't been a full two weeks since the launch of Pokemon X and Y, and here Nintendo is already announcing it's newest addition to it's multi-billion dollar franchise–but there's a twist.
"Gotta Sleuth em All" is the headline for this upcoming Pokemon project slated for launch on the 3DS. The twist(s)? The loveable Pikachu isn't just a member of your team–he's your partner against crime; as well as cast in the rare role as the villain. The game was announced during a Japanese-broadcast called The Professionals, which was highlighting the career of Pokemon CEO: Tsunekazu Ishihara. Continue reading "Gotta Sleuth Em All? Nintendo Announces Newest Pokemon Detective Game (Currently in Development)" »
This week, Nintendo announced the removal of Zombie Blaster from the 3DS eShop–the main reason being a mistake in the ESRB rating that was given to the game. With it's gory and violent content, it was accidentally given the rating of E, as opposed to T for Teen.
Zombie Blaster is a first-person shooter/survival game that made it's way into the 3DS eShop on October, 10th, 2013 — just in time for Halloween in only a few, short days. However, the game has been met with mostly negative reviews, with one of them reading: "The only way to really win at Zombie Blaster is to not buy it in the first place". Even though the game still appears in the shop for the low, low price of 4.99, and with a rating of three-out-of-five stars, it is unavailable for download.

"Our world, broken; abandoned. We're far from empty. This is not the world we remember; but this is our home. And they are the ones trespassing."
This chilling line of dialogue describes what has become of planet earth in the newest trailer for Call Of Duty: Ghosts, in what is now known as Extinction mode. Call Of Duty: Ghosts has introduced several new elements that has gamers looking forward to the newest installment of the CoD series: Dogs, women…And now, the latest threat to our world and existence are none other than aliens. In the short teaser released on instagram, as well as a new reveal trailer (featured below), we see the logo for CoD: Ghosts take the shape of an alien life-form, confirming that there will be aliens in the newest game.

This was a great week for mobile gaming platforms with the release of Star Wars Angry Birds getting ready to make it's debut next week for all major consoles, and Plants Vs. Zombies 2: It s About Time launching on Google Play. Here's some more good news and it's out just in time for Halloween:
Dead Trigger, a very popular zombie, FPS left fans singing high praises to the developers for the great storyline, varied weaponry arsenal, and good amounts of blood and gore. With well over twenty-three million downloads, people were beginning to wonder if a sequel was ever going to come out, and sure enough, the minds at Madfinger Games didn't disappoint.
Dead Trigger 2 is now available for both the Android and Apple marketplaces–and just so you can get a taste of what to expect, the developers at Madfinger even revealed a new trailer. Enjoy!
The Halloween season is the time of year when we celebrate the best of horror. What better way to honor this tradition than by slaying vampires in your living room on the Wii U? Forget marathoning all of the Friday the 13th movies, because Nintendo is releasing Super Castlevania IV on their eShop this Halloween.
Originally released for the Super Nintendo in 1991, Super Castlevania IV included many improvements from its NES predecessors. These included giving Simon Belmont the ability to move his whip in eight directions, as well as updates to graphics using the SNES' larger color palette. Sound also saw an update, enhancing traditional Castlevania themes featured in the game in addition to including some killer original music pieces. Continue reading ""Super Castlevania IV" Releasing on Nintendo eShop This Halloween" »
With angry birds banking at two-hundred million dollars in revenue, and seventy-one million in profits last year in 2012, the game developers at Rovio Entertainment have decided that it's time for Angry Birds to join the major leagues, and will be making it's Star Wars-themed debut appearance on the PS4 and XBox One, with the ESRB releasing the rating for the game on their website. Continue reading "Star Wars themed Angry Birds Due To Arrive on Major Consoles Next Week" »
Earlier this week, we covered The Stanley Parable, finding it an amazing, complex game that I really do recommend to everyone.
…Unless the imagery of a white man setting a little black boy on fire might offend you, just as it did author Oliver Campbell and others who played the game, and were more than just a little put off by the imagery:
Some people believe that Wrenden is "backing down" just because of a "few complaints", and while this is a (fairly) free country, and developers can do whatever they want, it's all a matter of being tasteful–which this video is anything but.
Let's talk about why some people are considering this ending racist:
1) You have a well-dressed, affluent while male lighting up a cigarette for a young, black boy who is obviously malnourished and gives off the appearance of being from a poor, African tribe, or some other third-world country.
2) In the next picture, that same well-dressed, affluent white male goes from lighting the cigarette to lighting that boy on fire. There's everything wrong with that image, even if it's meant to be a joke.
So, yes, I can see why Campbell and others, including a teacher who couldn't show this game to her students, would be offended. I'm a little more than disappointed with this discovery, given I'm a fan of The Stanley Parable. However, just because I'm a fan doesn't mean I'm going to continue to blindly pump my fist in the air with everyone else crying out that it's Wrenden's game–he can do whatever, and people are complaining over nothing. As a black woman, this image sends all the wrong messages. Of all the historical pieces I've read on slavery, it reminds me of how young, black slaves would be subjected to having a limb cut off for wandering inside the slave owner's house, and watching as that same owner tossed it into the firepit.
I'm glad and proud of Wrenden for taking a step back, looking at this, and saying, "Hmm. Maybe this isn't okay after all." and removing the images that didn't do anything but cheapened a good game. What's more, is that Wrenden himself has no qualms with changing it:
"I'm not exactly married to the visual gag there," Wreden said. "It doesn't make or break anything about that particular section, and we always wanted the game to be something that could be played by anyone of any age. If a person would feel less comfortable showing the game to their children then I've got no problem helping fix that! It's really as simple as that."
Perhaps his decision to be better than this will inspire other game developers who have unapologetically published games with obviously offensive and racist material.
A new documentary series on the history of video games is asking donors for $15,000 on Kickstarter to help fund the project.
The money will fund the first film in the series, entitled World 1-1, which will focus on Atari's significance in gaming history. Project creators Jeanette Garcia and Daryl Rodriguez say the funds raised will allow for the purchasing of necessary equipment and will cover travel costs as the duo travels across the country to interview personalities in the gaming industry.

It's one thing to give a mildly-popular game a sequel. It's another thing entirely when that same game receives not one, not two, but three games (including two sequels) in a series known for only doing one game per character and moving on. And it absolutely borders on absurd when the latest sequel has well over fifty hours of gameplay.
It's hard to tell whether or not Square Enix is doing something right (or everything wrong) in giving Lightning three games in a row, particularly within the Final Fantasy franchise. A character getting multiple games within the series hasn't happened since Final Fantasy X and X-2–and for good reason. Namely that they (Square Enix) were smart enough to know that a high-selling game doesn't necessarily set the stage for an equally successful sequel. They learned this lesson after the low ratings of Final Fantasy X-2 (Despite Final Fantasy X being one of the highest selling games for the PS2 and in Final Fantasy history), and decided out of financial necessity to bring that chapter of the Final Fantasy franchise to a close. Otherwise, they were going to severely regret it when it was time to tally up cumulative sales. Continue reading "Is 50 Hours Too Long For a Video Game? The Creators of "Lightning Returns" Don't Think So…" »
Fans, rejoice! The aptly named, Plants Vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time is finally available on the Android for download at long last. Back when the game was first announced earlier this month, it was already available in Australia and New Zealand as a soft launch, and now, is now globally available for download. If you've never heard of the wildly popular game, free-to-play strategy game, it was first released PopCap Games on May 5th, 2009 for Mac OS X. After it's popularity grew (Pardon the plant pun), it was later released on the iOS, Microsoft Windows, XBox Live Arcade, Playstation Network, and Nintendo DS (as well as multiple consoles), slowly drawing gamers, both casual and professional, to enjoy the aptly named game where the objective is solely based upon repelling zombies with a wide variety of plants.
The game first arrived on the Android Market (Now officially, Google Play), two years ago on May 31st, 2011, which left fawns eagerly waiting for a sequel, even though said sequel was launched earlier this year in August, for the iOS, where it broke records for being downloaded over twenty-five million times by fans.
Plants Vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time is available right here, free to play, on Google Play.
North Korea may be plotting a cyber attack on South Korea by planting malware in the code for some downloadable games, South Korean police officials are warning.
The warning came after a South Korean businessman was arrested by South Korea's National Police Agency for illegally trafficking in online games developed in North Korea. A North Korean hacker disguised himself as a game developer and offered to make games for the arrested businessman at cheaper prices, the Wall Street Journal said. The programs were found to contain malware that collects IP addresses and other information from personal computers.
South Korean police said that it is easy for North Korean hackers to distribute malware through downloadable entertainment, which can lead to a crippling DDOS attack.
"Online gaming programs—along with porn materials—are easy tools for North Korean hackers to choose because they are always available to the public," an anonymous National Police Agency official said.
South Korea has already faced two DDOS attacks this year: one in March, the other in June. North Korea had denied Seoul's accusations that they were behind these cyber attacks, as well as similar attacks in 2009, 2011 and 2012.
Starting this month, Ouya microconsoles will appear on the shelves of Target stores across the United States. Ouya founder Julie Uhrman told Polygon that Target, which originally sold the Ouya in a handful of its stores, will now be selling the system in all of its 1,800 U.S. locations.
Target will be the first big box retail chain to make the Ouya available in everyone of its stores. Target will begin promoting the Ouya next month using a video trailer in its electronics department and an in-store promotion which will include a free $10 games card with purchase of an Ouya.

Earlier this week, we discussed how Nintendo Japan is discontinuing production of the first generation Wii in order to focus on it's significantly less successful successor, the Wii U. That being said, Nintendo decided to up the ante (as well as the price), and release the newest Wii U bundle with New Super Mario Bros U and New Super Luigi U on one disk for three-hundred dollars. What's interesting (not to mention dark), is that the latter game takes place in an alternate dimension where Mario is dead.

The PlayStation 4 will allow players to use their real names online at launch, a Sony spokesperson told Kotaku today.
Microsoft said they are planning the same feature for users of the Xbox One, but that it will not be available until sometime after launch. A Microsoft representative said development on this feature was postponed because Microsoft expects players on the Xbox One to search for their friends by their Gamertags at launch.
Using your real name will be an optional feature on both consoles. Both Microsoft and Sony said they are incorporating this real-name option into their next-gen consoles in order to open up their online networks to a larger audience.
The feature on both consoles have been met with mixed reactions. Some gamers say the allowance of real names on the online gaming networks will help players be friendlier to each other. Others argue that attaching real names to players could lead to controversy surrounding privacy and make cyberbullying easier.
Sony has said, however, that people using their real names on the PlayStation 4 can still play games using nicknames.

Amazon recruiting for Indian conquest campaign

Sounds awesome, by the way. I mean, access to almost a BILLION new potential customers? I'd love to be a part of it.
Amazon tackles soaring textbook prices
While that is actually a great idea, unfortunately it doesn't include the fact that everybody's in it for the money...
Amazon's anti-iPad arises 'in October'
Delete Apps?
Do you have proof of that happening? I have many apps that are either not on the market, or have been removed from the market since getting them, but they remain on my device (Motorola Droid). I have no problems with Google Android.
Also, I have a Kindle. If you purchase the books through them, sure, you can have issues, but if you purchase your books elsewhere, or get them elsewhere (like Google's giant FREE library of books), you don't have issues. They can only take back things you got from them. And you agree to their conditions when buying their DRMed items anyways.
Pretty much, what I'm saying, is that you, sir, are wrong.
South Korea to throw away schoolbooks by 2015
I don't get how many of you think that paper is critical to learning. I'm in uni right now and I do most of my studying on the computer. Youtube, Cramster, etc all help immensely. With a tablet computer (I don't have one, but did use a touchscreen device on my netbook for a while), I can take notes just like with paper, and best of all, I can't lose them. Also, I can embed images, videos, etc. Also, I can sync them to my other devices, or have friends send me notes that I missed. Superior in every way, I'd say. Except maybe a lack of electricity. But if we can develop hybrid tablet/e-ink devices, that would become much less of an issue...
World of Warcraft bot ban ticks off world of critics
Disagrree with Chad H.
If you were only paying for access, then anybody could have the game for free, and wouldn't have to buy the CD. You are buying a copy of the game code, and as such are an "owner" just like you own your television. You don't own the cable, however, that is rented out to you at a monthly price, just like your access to the online play.
So yes, you do own the game. No, you do not have a "right" to be allowed on their servers.

Miniature Apple display spotted in the wild

Google chief: Nexus One was 'so successful, we killed it'
I agree
Whether or not it was a successful (profit making) venture, it did push the bar forward for phones. It was an android phone that was powerful, had android without any stupid gui overlays, etc. It standardized the hardware that is to be used on all current and future models...I would call it a success.
Hulu to charge $10 for iPad and Playstation 3 TV
Another win for android? Even if they don't make an app (who cares...), shouldn't the ability to use flash in the browser with 2.2 make it so that Android phones (and eventually tablets) will have the best service? The exact same as the desktop service...(I haven't used it in a while...is it still free?)
Verizon iPhone set for January touchdown?
I wonder...if Verizon DID get the iPhone, that would mean that it would be selling two competing lines of phones...I wonder if they would just stop selling Android based devices...I feel like Apple would likely demand them to do so...

I really wish that Google would just merge an amazing verrsion of the Chrome browser with Android for sale on netbooks...I would like to have some local applications, even if they are small...Ya know? Or at least if they make it so you can run Android apps in the Chrome OS...just a thought..
'Steve Jobs' switches to Android
I disagree!
You must not actually use an Android device. While you think that it is a me-too device, that may be true. It does have to try and emulate the popular mobile OS of the time because that is the only way to get people to switch over...Apple has successfully convinced people all over the world that the iPhone is the only worthwhile smartphone for the average user. This is far from correct though.
Your little list at the end of your post proves to me that you do not know what you are talking about.
Android has many great apps, and the repository is growing everyday. It has apps that do far more than Apple does now, or WILL EVER do! There are tethering apps of all kinds...USB, blutooth, wifi, and many for free.
Most of the apps you will need on your phone are actually free! Also, there may not be as many games, but we have to give developers time to realize that Android is here to stay...
The fragemntation concern is a valid one though...This is simply because of the range of hardware that exists. That is a problem, and it is only worsened by the fact that most technology users are morons.
The buggy app bit is far from true. Many of the apps are just as good or better than anything on the iPhone app store.
Android 2.2 brings so much more functionality it is insane to compare it to the iphone os and call it natively inferior...
Android also brings in many developers who simply want to code so that it will:
a) kill the iphone,
b) give users apps that could never work on an iphone
c) give users awesome apps for free
All of these things come from having an open source and non-greedy Operating System and Business Structure.
Pirate Bay co-founder hopes it will die
You are dumb. No matter if what they did was illegal or not, 25 years? I believe that any and all punishment should be directly equal to the crime. 25 years (the base sentence for murder) is not equal in this case. soo....stfu
Omegle invites you to show world+Facebook your bewbs
Too Bad
I think that people should just be able to interact whoever they want. If a kid sees a penis, and is too dumb to know what it is, too bad. If they learn about sex through this, then holy crap, they might be a normal human being. The problem I have with policing the internet is that all laws appeal to the lowest level of intelligence, and on the internet, that can get pretty fucking low.
A police button!? Do you know how much that will get abused?? Even on accident!
I hope The Register is among the sanely minded people like myself who think that you accept a certain level of personal responsibility when you access the internet. If a parent is afraid that their child is going to get involved in this kind of thing, TALK TO THEM as you would about strangers in real life. If you are still scared, limit their internet connectivity. Just because the internet exists doesn't mean that they should have unlimited access. This of course in my opinion should only apply to under teens, really. After that, they should be mature enough to handle the internet...
*rant over*
Apple drops HTML from iPhone and iPad
I freaked out for a second. Good one.
Motorola Droid - the not quite iPhone killer
I am extremely glad that the apps are not charged to my phone bill. If they were, I WOULD NOT buy them. It is much easier for apps to count as a seperate purchase (as in a real purchase, like you would at a store).
WIN CE apps? Are you serious? Different operating system = different apps. The iPhone doesn't do WIN CE either. Oh, and Win CE sucks. I've had a phone with it, and if you think the droid lags with those thumbnails, just look at the clock when you turn your phone's screen on. It literally takes 2 seconds to update the time!
Apps being crappy? I disagree first of all. Secondly, the apps will lag behind for a little bit until developers realize that Android is going to last. And now that they have determined that it will, they HAVE started developing.
Oh, and don't blame the apps on the Droid, it's Android.
Doesn't play WMV? Neither does the iphone (to my knowledge, there might be "an app for that")
I will admit that it should play AVIs. The battery life is annoying (but no more so than any smartphone). The battery does get a bit hot, but it doesnt matter because the heat isn't by your fingers. The battery case falling off is annoying, but I have a case so it doesn't affect me.
YouTube saves dumb children from offensive content
If your kid is that dumb, get them off the net.
Dell servers block un-Dell HDDs
What is it?
What is it about computer companies trying to limit users to their own hardware. Don't they realize that it really hurts their image with intelligent users? I hate the fact that they don't really care about their customers. Look at the iPad for example, using non-standard connection types that disallow the use of non-apple certified hardware. It's ridiculous.
And I agree, it isn't up to them to make your data secure, it's up to you.
Designer pitches iPad gaming wheel
I think I would just make my own unless it was 5-10 dollars. Of course, I'm not getting an iPad, but cool idea nonetheless.
Survey: Only 1% of Torrents non-infringing
Legal Porn
I would like to know how you can determine the copyright status of porn...I mean, even with the amateur stuff, I am sure that most porn is copyrighted at some level. Were the works in question simply not recognized as being copyrighted materials?
Not very well worded, but do you get my question? Is there that much amateur porn that is distributed free-of-charge?
Apple iPad vs netbooks: fight not over yet
The way I see it, the iPad is just a cartoonishly large iPod touch, and the only function it really has is to replace the kindle as a more media centric semi-ebook reader. The things it does are pointless if you have an ipod or iphone. Also, if it was supposed to be an intermediate device, I cannot for the life of me understand why in the hell they would have put a freaking 16, 32, 64 gb choice in it. Basic netbook tend to be ~120 (unless you go for ssds), and I realize that this device isn't supposed to be used with real applications, but I feel like they could have put a bigger memory in there so people could actually have their music and video collections on it, and all that... Just a thought.
A glorified ebook reader. Yay. Let's hope the competition steps up to the plate.
Ubuntu Firefox shuns Google for Yahoo! search
Free Software
I see this as wrong. Linux is about freedom. Linux is about giving the best experience, and using the best tools for every job. If they are going to use Yahoo, they are going to make the main choice a second rate one. Google is better. Period.
Oh, and 90% of people are going change it to google anyways. So FAIL.

uh oh
They better not give the name away. The bank made a mistake, and gave something to the wrong person. Their fault. Too bad.

Microsoft apologizes for digital head transplant
Microsoft at a loss in Word patent case?

Google to buy video compression technology outfit On2

Toshiba unveils new external 3.5-inch drive
Doesn't Matter
I don't know anybody who would want to pay 160 dollars for 1 TB when they can get that same TB (albeit a little slower) for 100 dollars (or less!) elsewhere. It looks nice, but that's not enough.

Country Day boys win CIF title; girls team gets bye in state tournament
By Phil Dailey
The La Jolla Country Day boys basketball team didn't exactly appear to be the best Division IV school in San Diego County heading into the postseason, but they sure did when it mattered.
After finishing third in the Coastal South standings, the Torreys were expected by many to compete in the San Diego Section championships, but to take home the title seemed to be a long shot after they were seeded third behind Army-Navy and Francis Parker.
None of that mattered to this group of boys, who not only beat Army-Navy in the CIF semifinals, but blew out No. 1-seeded Francis Parker in the finals, a team they lost to twice — once by 22 and another by 18 — during the regular season.
During the Division IV final last weekend at the Jenny Craig Pavilion, it appeared as though the Torreys would suffer the same fate as the Lancers came out ready to play, dominating the first 13 minutes of the game. But Country Day held on to only trail at the break, 24-20.
"We weren't defending like we know we can defend," said Ryan Meier, now in his sixth season as the Torreys' head coach. "It was our first time here, it was kinda a shock-value type of thing and we had to respond. We were doing just enough to hang around a little bit."
But whatever transpired in the lockeroom at halftime, the message was received by the Torreys as they dominated the third quarter with a 22-3 run that proved to be the difference as the team captured their first ever Division IV basketball title in convincing fashion, 57-40.
"We knew the first half there were going to be jitters, we were going to be rattled," Meier said. "But the second half, the guys said, 'We need to play (defense) better than this.' "
The defense was key to slowing the Lancers, but so was the offense. On the game, Sage Burmieister led the Torreys with 16 points while Frank Bamford went for 14.
"The defense definitely generate the offense," Meier said. "When they feel good about defending they get a different kind of energy and more confidence on their shots, and that definitely played a part in it."
What looked to be like another defeat against Francis Parker turned into a one-sided affair as the Torreys simply kept the pressure on the Lancers for the final eight minutes of the game, cruising to the championship.
"It definitely was the goal to win CIF. We got a good group of boys. My five starters have been together since they were in third grade," Meier said. "It was their goal to cap their career with a banner in the gym, a CIF championship.
"This is a great accomplishment even getting here, but they wanted to win."
Francis Parker standout Dalente Dunklin, who will play next season at UC Santa Barbara, was held to only 13 points.
Girls team also wins title
The Country Day girls, as expected, cruised to the title after topping The Bishop's School, 64-39. The Torreys (28-1 overall) were led by Malina Hood's 20 points, while her sister Maya added 13 points and 19 rebounds.
