Webster Dictionary
pressure, strain; -- used chiefly of immaterial things; except in mechanics; hence, urgency; importance; weight; significance
the force, or combination of forces, which produces a strain; force exerted in any direction or manner between contiguous bodies, or parts of bodies, and taking specific names according to its direction, or mode of action, as thrust or pressure, pull or tension, shear or tangential stress
force of utterance expended upon words or syllables. Stress is in English the chief element in accent and is one of the most important in emphasis. See Guide to pronunciation, // 31-35
distress; the act of distraining; also, the thing distrained
to press; to urge; to distress; to put to difficulties
to subject to stress, pressure, or strain
In continuum mechanics, stress is a physical quantity that expresses the internal forces that neighboring particles of a continuous material exert on each other. For example, when a solid vertical bar is supporting a weight, each particle in the bar pulls on the particles immediately above and below it. When a liquid is under pressure, each particle gets pushed inwards by all the surrounding particles, and, in reaction, pushes them outwards. These macroscopic forces are actually the average of a very large number of intermolecular forces and collisions between the molecules in those particles. Stress inside a body may arise by various mechanisms, such as reaction to external forces applied to the bulk material or to its surface. Any strain of a solid material generates an internal elastic stress, analogous to the reaction force of a spring, that tends to restore the material to its original undeformed state. In liquids and gases, only deformations that change the volume generate persistent elastic stress. However, if the deformation is gradually changing with time, even in fluids there will usually be some viscous stress, opposing that change. Elastic and viscous stresses are usually combined under the name mechanical stress.
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
Force exercised upon a solid tending to distort it, or to produce a strain.

click above image for more high-res pics of the BMW CS Concept
We already knew that a production version of the CS Concept BMW debuted at the Shanghai Auto Show was in the automaker's product plans. Dubbed 'Gran Turismo', the four-door technological tour de force took a serious step toward reality today when BMW announced that Gerhard Richter, a manager at BMW M GmbH, is taking over control of the car's development. While he's adding that little bit of M flair to the Gran Turismo, Albert Biermann will be taking his place developing M models for the rest of us to enjoy.
While BMW didn't release any real details about the production version of the Gran Turismo, it did say that the car "will round the BMW product range upward as important technology carriers." That's the broken English of our translation, but you get the point. Like we said before, it'll be a technological tour de force.

PRESS RELEASE (translated from German):
Munich. Gerhard judge (55), member of the management of the BMWS M GmbH, will take over the direction of the project for the new BMW Gran Turismo starting from January 2008. This vehicle became the public for the first time as Concept study on the automobile fair in Shanghai in the spring 2007 presents. It will round the BMWS off product range upward as importanttechnology carriers. Albert Biermann (50) answered for in the future the development of the m and individual vehicles.

6/10, its a pretty nice ui, but i personally do not like all the text and icons on top of your character.
for some reason it wont let me attach a screenshot, so here is a link:
For Last UI above, 8/10
Here's my UI, open to feedback and suggestions. Used for paladin healing.
Thanks in advance for input!
6/10, its a pretty nice ui, but i personally do not like all the text and icons on top of your character.
for some reason it wont let me attach a screenshot, so here is a link:
7/10 i like the positioning of your bars/ raid frames and cast bar but you half of your lower screen is filt with it so thats a big con. also your chat box is way too large in my opinion.
here is mine UI:
( same problem as post before me)
in a month or so i m getting a 23" wide screen so i probably put my grid in the lower part too. for now it works. on the right side of the target you can see targetcharms , it let me put a mark on the target with one click.
I do like how your buffs are along the side there and your Grid and PallyPower are placed nicely (I have a hard time deciding where to put those two addons), but the bottom is too much of a mess for me. The only thing that fits in that black bar you have going across the bottom is your threat meter. Your map, buttons and chat log are all sticking out of it. Either expand the bar to the top of those elements or get rid of it. Also, everything seems a little bit too bold and chunky. It's a good set up and I see how it works well for a tank, it just needs to be cleaned up.
Here is my UI. I have redone it, cleaned it up a little bit and here it is.
That is mine, heh, what do you think of it?
Pretty nice. I'd give this one a 8/10.
I like how all the colours fit together and clean look on it.
What I don't like is the Nameplates, you could definitley improve on that one to make a matching nameplate with black/white textures to fit the rest of the UI.
Have a good one.

My new UI. It's still a bit of a work in progress.
I don't have any raid action shots, I just came back from a 3ish month hiatus. So I just toggled everything so it'd be visible.
Also, I'm still playing with dxe, trying to figure the best fit. Definitely like it so far tho.
n1ck1stkr13g.deviantart.com / nicistkvlt.blogspot.com
i believe toushiro is using an edited tuk ui - and the bottom bars are some of tuk's own coding. you can achieve the same results by using stat block core and an panel addon.
yes sldt can do that. but dollars to doughnuts its a tuk edit. ( oh wait doughnuts almost cost a buck these days.)
I threw this together quick when I started to heal on my priest. I need to figure out what to do with those raid frames. When they are in a corner it is a pain in the butt to heal and be aware of what is happening around me, but with them right next to my character it rocks. It just looks bad. I have a lot of really cool power aura classic things too, that aren't shown in the pic. Also for some reason when I took this some guy ran right on top of my character, so im barely in my own screen.
Do you really need your character portraits that big? It makes the whole UI look off balanced. so does grid just sitting all skewed like that. Maybe shrink recount down and move it up and over, move your bag bar up and put grid? vuhdo? next to your abilities bars. Also maybe consider getting a buff addon like satrinas, that way you can take advantage of the extra space you've saved by moving your map down, and get rid of the buffs above your character frame.
edit: noticed you have vuhdo buff watch up in the left hand corner of the screen, so you definitely don't need your buffs displayed on your character frame.
n1ck1stkr13g.deviantart.com / nicistkvlt.blogspot.com
Well I used to have my vuhdo frames right were the recount is, but it hurt my neck have to look down and the to right, instead of near the middle of my screen. Lol and yea I know my player and target framers are huge those could probably be changed. I was thinking about moving my buttons and possibly putting vuhdo there, but I've been using that button layout for so long I don't know If I really want to learn a new button layout. I do have a buff mod (SBF) It makes a centered row at the top of my screen. I never thought about turning them off of my portrait i'll give that a shot. Any other addons I should be using as a healer?
I wish I wasn't so comfortable with my UI I really like how little is on your screen

Valhalla Lyrics - Pantera
There is a place
where every man who falls
in battle surely will go
and in this place
lives a God
who is their Lord
one of knowledge
who surely knows
Eyes are burning brightly
shining on into the night
heads are falling
valkyries calling
back the men to fight
for The Terrifier
Magic Mystifier
preparation for victory
Mighty Oh! VALHALLA
they're coming Home
to VALHALLA
Each day the valiant
armies of the past
would fight outside the hall
then in the evening
the vanquished would rise up
with the victors
and feast one and all
Written on the runes
the many tales of men of old
ancient kings who ruled the land
a thousand years ago
prayed to The Terrifier
Magic Mystifier
for knowledge and Victory
Mighty Oh! VALHALLA
they're coming home to VALHALLA
Come the final battle
Odinn charges on his steed
Fenrir's foe is thrusting home
but it was not to be
now The Terrifier
Magic Mystifier
Vanquished but he will live on
Mighty Oh! In VALHALLA
He's living on In VALHALLA

By winning the Daytona 500 pole today, Danica Patrick became the first woman to win the top spot for any race in NASCAR's premier circuit. Clocking in at 45.817 seconds, averaging 196.434 mph, today's achievement is the biggest of Patrick's stock-car career.
Jeff Gordon was the only one to come close at 196 mph even. After the race he said: "It's great to be part of history, I can say I was the fastest guy today." Patrick's speed was 33 thousandths of a second faster than Gordon's.
Most importantly, Patrick's run today means she doesn't have to worry about Thursday's qualifying races. Patrick, who is running full-time in the Sprint Cup Series for the first time in 2013, was potentially at risk of missing the race with a poor performance on Thursday.
Patrick seems to be starting the season off on the right foot. Hopefully she can get the big win this year that fans have been waiting for. Win or lose, her qualifying effort guarantees to keep her in the spotlight this week as NASCAR fans gear up for for the most famous race of the season.
With so much of the media attention in the past few weeks on Patrick's relationship with fellow driver and Rookie of the Year contender Ricky Stenhouse, it's nice to see the attention she's getting based on her success on the track.
Despite lots of talk to the contrary, Patrick has proved she's the real deal. Now, let's see if she can capitalize on today's record-breaking performance.

Apple claims Aussie 3G is so good it's 4G
Apple has hit back at claims it misled Australian buyers of "the new iPad" with the unusual defense that Australia's 3G networks are so fast they are in fact 4G in all but name. Cupertino has been taken to court by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) after is began an investigation into complaints from …
Ill buy that
IF the network speed is so good in the uk (upwards of 20 Mbps), Ill buy the Ipad, no matter what they choose to call it.
In classic Jobsian style, blame the system and everyone else, but never admit their slick marketing bends the truth.
Re: Ill buy that
"IF the network speed is so good in the uk (upwards of 20 Mbps), Ill buy the Ipad, no matter what they choose to call it."
It's not.
Steven R
Re: Ill buy that
So let me get this straight: sodding carrier under the sun is quite happy to con the public about their mobile data speeds, calling a measly 12Mb/sec download rate (as shown in the article) as "4G".
Some of these carriers aren't even using LTE, but are simply beefing up their old 3G HSPA infrastructure. And, yes, they're labelling that "4G" too.
So bollocks to the Australian government. If they're letting their carriers get away with blue murder, why the hell are they only going after Apple? Their new iPad DOES support 4G if it's the HSPA-based "4G" you're talking about. It'll also support 4G LTE (in theory) in countries where that technology has been rolled-out and the frequency range is supported, such as many cities in the US and even Dubai.
Most cars can shift at well over 100 miles per hour. The fact that a particular country's road network doesn't let you drive at that speed legally doesn't mean the car can't go that fast.
Re: Ill buy that
You got it backwards. In Aussie, the carriers aren't calling non-4G shit 4G; Apple is trying to push the same BS done in the US and Mexico that HSPA+ is "4G". Them using this argument shows off how the ITU shouldn't have backed down on their hard stance, and that carriers selling HSPA+ as 4G are liars.
Re: Ill buy that "their slick marketing bends the truth."?
Bends the truth? That's putting very politely. -:) Their reaction to finding themselves hoist upon their own marketing petard reminds of the Yiddish word for unmitigated gall - "chutzpah". It is defined in an old Jewish joke as "the guy who murders his parents and then throws himself on the mercy of the court on the basis that he is an orphan".
Re: Ill buy that
"In classic Jobsian style, blame the system and everyone else, but never admit their slick marketing bends the truth."
Indeed, and I hope the Aussie authorities will stick with their hard line. Facts really do matter to consumers. Apple have got so used to being able to fib to American consumers with impunity that they are forgetting that the rest of the world doesn't work in the same way.
That graph is a very curious piece of data. Assuming that this is something that Apple have put forward it is hardly doing their case any good whatsoever. The point is that under the right circumstances LTE really can outperform 3G. I imagine that Telestra have done some convincing demonstrations of that for their own marketing reasons. And as the roll out of Telestra's network proceeds the chances of ordinary punters encountering the right circumstances will only increase. But today's iPad cannot benefit from that. It may benefit in the future from the future roll out of LTE at other bands in Australia, but that's not what Apple are claiming in their marketing blurb.
Apple has never done a TD-SCDMA version of the iPhone despite there being hundreds of millions of potential customers in China. Most other manufacturers seem to be able to squeeze the requisite chippery into their handsets to tap even quite small worldwide markets without too much difficulty. So why won't / don't / can't Apple? I think it's because they're a bit light weight when it comes to engineering capacity. Do they have problems keeping hold of skilled staff? Surely even Apple would chase the TD-SCDMA market in China if they thought they could? And surely they'd want to avoid local difficulties like they're experiencing in Australia?
Re: Ill buy that
I think you have it backwards...
It would appear that the ITU is the arbiter of what constitutes 4G, if they say a technology is 4G then it is 4G. If a telco provides a service that falls under the ITU definition of 4G but decides to market said service as 3G then that is the marketing decision of that telco.
4G has an international standard and if your product meets that standard then it can be marketed as a 4G product. If you disagree with a standard then blame that standard but don't accuse the product manufacturer of "BS" or fraud (as others have done).
Re: Ill buy that
Sounds to me like Apple have a legit case. 4G is now just a buzz-word, the same way HTML5 is (typically used to include JS and CSS3) so claiming to support 4G is not a simple standard you can meet.
Re: Ill buy that
I agree with you, but on the other hand, why should Apple try to please the Chinese market when there seems to be such a strong desire for Apple products in China that young people are willing to sell their organs and their virginity for them?
Re: Ill buy that
I randomly note that 3G is finally arriving in Thailand, after years and years of dithering/incompetence/corruption/rorting/etc. The adverts I saw today called it 3G+ which I gues to be the (I can never remember the acronymn but it's got HP in it) version.
This appears to be a remarkable case of honesty in a country defined by the level of systemic corruption that exists, expecially for the telecoms industry, formerly the private playground of the world's most individually corrupt elected politician.
Of course, it is unlikely to offer real internet speeds anywhere near the practical capabilities of the technology. As everyone who lives here can attest, "hi-speed" is a term that is meaningless. Download speeds is 32Kb on a supposedly 8Mb line are the norm, expecially if the site is hosted outside of Thailand.
There is just so much bandwidth available, and it is oversubscribed by the local operators here by about 10,000%
IIRC during my last visit to Australia, the internet seemed to be something generally unavailable to the traveller except at extortionate per minute rates, with speeds to match what I am used to here in Thailand.

Yes But LTE the Real 4g is an new network but 12mb/s is More likely to happen on LTE then HSPA (my own tests around where i am HSPA is only an little bit faster then HSDPA so instead of getting 2-3mb/s i get 3-7mb/s with HSPA with the same network but the lower speed was more the average )
its like calling EDGE 3g when its not (2g is GSM/GPRS/EDGE)
3g is UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA / HSPA as they are all part of the same system
4g is LTE and LTE-ADV it requires new hardware and is not directly compatible with 3G equipment (i guess dead WIMAX counts as well) officially LTE-ADV was to be the official 4G spec I guess they call it 4G+ when LTE-ADV comes
Three in the UK really need LTE-ADV more then LTE but with real 4G it would off load all them downloaders on 3UK 3g network onto the LTE network as its around where i am its making phones unreliable to use (Low speeds, Phantom Network connections so phone does not ring when it has signal but its lost the connection to the mast, phone resets the connection after 1 min when it happens)
In the USA I still think its very miss leading to state HSPA as 4G if the Area is over loaded it still will be with 3g HSPA upgrade,. just look at windows phones with the Nokia 900 phone they have called 3g 3g(HSPA) and 4g 4g(LTE) as it is 2 diferant networks (HSPA and HSDPA are not its just an upgrade to the spec)
Re: Ill buy that
"""""""""""I think you have it backwards...
It would appear that the ITU is the arbiter of what constitutes 4G, if they say a technology is 4G then it is 4G. If a telco provides a service that falls under the ITU definition of 4G but decides to market said service as 3G then that is the marketing decision of that telco."""""""""""""
HSPA should of never been Forced into been called 4g when it is not an new network (4g/3g/2g are Diferant networks, USA Mobile networks are trying to make it look like Fake 4g(3g HSPA) has really speeded things up when in fact its most likely only 5-20% faster at best for Phones that support it that is) it should of just been called H+ or 3g+ like some of the UK networks called it (Orange UK shows H+)
Re: Ill buy that

Nope. It will most likely not support 4G LTE outside the US. This being because the US, like before, picked a frequency that in other places in the world are either still using for Analog UHF TV, or being carried over to UHF digital television. I think it's safe to say that the 700MHz LTE frequency is only being used in the US and Canada. Elsewhere, LTE is assigned to 800MHz (as they did in Blighty), 1.8GHz (as in Australia's case) and/or 2.6GHz (which is being deployed here in Asia).
That said, I'll most likely settle for a WiFi only new iPad. I already have a subscription with a WiMax provider anyway, and as it stands my telco has not yet rolled out LTE yet (and they'll be rolling out LTE in the 2.6GHz spectrum anyway. Some rumor going around that an upstart company is trying to buy up the 700MHz range to transmit Pay TV encrypted DVB-T2).
Re: Ill buy that
"Sounds to me like Apple have a legit case. 4G is now just a buzz-word"
Errr - not really. In Australia there are 2 commercially operating 4G networks Telstra's, and a much smaller scale wimax rollout.
The bottom line is, the ipad "4G" cannot connect to any 4G network in Australia, so you can't advertise it as a "4G device" in this country - people would reasonably assume that the new ipad connects to 4G networks - says so in the title.
So why didn't Apple just call it "the new ipad" in Australia and drop the 4G moniker, call it HSDPA instead?
Because the week before the latest ipad was launched Samsung released a proper (for Aus) 4G tablet that connects to Aus 4G networks. I suspect Apple didn't want their connection to seem second best in comparison at the point of sale...
So they've progressed from deception to outright fraud.
Well played Apple, keep digging, you might strike Jobs.
Its the ITU's standard
and if they say that HSPA+ and LTE (both of which don't meet their original definition, but are around 100 times faster than the original 3G) can be called 4G then who are you to say that this is fraud?
Re: Its the ITU's standard
Who are we? We are the Consumer. Hear us roar!
<cough, cough, splutter....>
Re: Its the ITU's standard
Well, the ITU is allowing non-4G speed devices to be labeled 4G for marketing (and it won't sue the carriers at that point), but AFAIK the actual legal definition of 4G wasn't changed. I looked to see if it had been changed, but looks like its still officially 100Mb/s on the go, and 1Gb/s while stationary for the 4G spec. Nothing to stop Government and individual lawsuits though, unless 4G specs have actually been downgraded. I haven't found anything saying the actual specs were downgraded, so it is still false advertising regardless of what ITU says in a press release. (unless there is a new 4G spec that has been downgraded and ratified)
From my own benchmarks, Sprint's WiMAX "4G" was only 6Mb/s and Tmobes HSPA+ is 37Mb/s. Neither is 4G, but at least Tmobiles is slightly faster than my Uverse connection.
Re: Its the ITU's standard
It was quite easy for GSM network operators to achieve good performance. This is because the radio characteristics of GSM (principally it's time division multiplexing) are very well thought out and a miracle of their day. GSM allows network operators to put base stations up here, there, everywhere without having to re-jig their existing infrastructure too much. That's why GSM took off worldwide like it did.
It's been much harder for network operators to achieve good performance with their 3G networks. This is because the radio characteristics of UMTS and CDMA2000 (e.g. cell breathing and related effects) make it difficult to add additional base stations in the same way they could with GSM. 3G places a much higher emphasis on getting the network deployment right first time, and improving it once it's deployed is difficult and expensive. Basically, the 3G standards were drawn up in too great a hurry and everyone forgot about the need for easy network planning.
For LTE the standards writers didn't make the same mistake as they did with 3G. This time TDM is back in the mix, and that along with various other things will make it easier to put micro and pico cells literally everywhere, much like they can do to with GSM.
The point is that LTE has the potential to get very much better than it already is because it is commercially viable for the network operators to upgrade. So whilst both 3G and LTE today might not be delivering close to their theoretical throughputs, only LTE has the technical and commercial potential to get significantly better. Apple saying that a 3G device is as good as a 4G one is likely to be true for only a short period of time, after which it starts becoming a lie. I imagine that Telestra are busily rolling out LTE base stations as quickly as they possibly can, and iPads can't join in.
Re: Its the ITU's standard
Comentards please note: the ITU have decided to use a new description for what they originally called 4G. This will now be called IMT-Advanced. 4G will be considered to be LTE, WiMax, "and other evolved 3G technologies providing a substantial level of improvement" over the original 3G. They won't be suing anyone who's technology meets these requirements and who calls it 4G, now or later.
HSPA+ meets this requirement. Dual channel HSPA+ certainly does, and that IS available in Australia.
You can see this in black and white over here
Re: Its the ITU's standard
that explains why there are so many Dead spots for 3g then there is for 2g (i did think thats why they did not overlap the masts that much) but 3UK is the worst for not overlapping there masts so many dead spots or no signal spots its not funny (why i went back to my O2/giffgaff PAYG sim as i prefer the 3-5mb speeds instead of 0.5-1.5mb speeds and then there's the coverage)
Re: Its the ITU's standard
@Steve Todd
Meeting the Requirement and been an New technology's is two diferant things 3g (UMTS to HSPA) and 4g (LTE to LTE-ADV) is 2 technology's and 2 networks it should be tied to that not the speed as that's how you can differentiate it
(HSPA is just an update or upgrade to HSDPA all the phones need to upgrade to HSPA enabled phones to benefit from it or all the HSDPA phones connected to the mast degrade the speed of the HSPA phones)
What makes you think that LTE is all new? To a large degree its based on UMTS, which was in turn based on GSM. Its an evolutionary rather than revolutionary upgrade.
Non of this is relevant though. If the ITU says you can call it 4G then you can call it 4G. End of.
Re: Its the ITU's standard
@Steve Todd,
Unless the ITU changed the legal definition of 4G (IMT-Advanced), they can SAY a company can call it 4G in a press release and not be sued by the ITU, but that doesn't protect the company from Government lawsuits and individual lawsuits because they violate the international standard set by the ITU. A press release isn't a technical paper on the spec, and probably hold little weight in court other than reducing the amount of damages that can be collected from Govt's and people suing. At least until the definition is *officially* changed 4G could turn into a Lawyer fest on a global scale... Until then the ITU won't get sued because its the international standards body, but anyone following the press release rather than the proper standard as written has their fannies hanging out.
Re: Its the ITU's standard
You've got that the wrong way around. The ITU moved the goalposts. Legally 4G is HSPA+ or faster because that's what they say it is. LTE doesn't meet their original definition either, so THERE ARE NO CURRENT 4G DEVICES OR NETWORKS if you try to enforce the original meaning.
They created a new name for the original 4G definition. That's now IMT-Advanced, so when we finally get LTE-Advanced the marketeers can use that label.
Isn't Australia auctioning 700Mhz spectrum for LTE later this year?
If this case drags on long enough the iPad might really support 4G LTE in Australia.
Marketing must love this
So much easier to bullshit the masses when your product is as invisible & intangible as a frequency spectrum.
I especially love it when they use the phrase "..downoad speeds of UP TO xxx mb/s..." - bearing in mind that 'UP TO' does include the number 0.
Re: Marketing must love this
I especially love it when they use the phrase "..downoad speeds of UP TO xxx mb/s..." - bearing in mind that 'UP TO' does include the number 0.
I take your point, but I dont really think a download speed of 0 qualifies as a download, I call it waiting.
Re: Marketing must love this
I know, but it still happens.
Might be a bit of an own goal for Apple, they bring out the next iPad and say "hey, it's 4G LTE!" and people say "so? I have an iPad 4 and it's 4G so whats the difference?"... "oh, you bought the one that we said was 4G but isn't actually 4G for you, this one is though so umm, buy it?"....
David, that's precisely the reason the Aussies should pursue this. It's truly despicable how companies will do anything they can to sell kit or service, but will flip that on its ear the moment another opportunity arises.
Marketing people should be at the bottom of the ocean right next to politicians, lawyers, and Stephanie Meyer.
ITU is going all mushy
I'm disappointed that the ITU got all mushy on this. It's clear-cut. CDPD, which added packet data to what was otherwise an analog system, got 9600bps. The earliest data options for CDMA, GSM, and TDMA were 9600bps and 14400bps. EDGE is 2G but runs up to 220kbps, while UMTS (a 3G tech) started at just 384kbps. So, no, I do not consider an evolved 3G technology to be 4G just because it is approaching the speed of the earliest 4G deployments.
We've got areas here in the States where an EVDO network (3.1mbps) handily outruns a competitor with 14.4mbps HSPA (which they now claim is 4G.) Certainly due to congestion. Not too many places though, which is why the EVDO carriers are generally rolling out LTE now ASAP (while the HSPA carriers are beginning to call their 3G networks 4G instead.)
In the end, though, what matters is typical speeds. If the typical speed is quick enough to do what you want and the price is right, then it doesn't matter what G the technology is.
Re: ITU is going all mushy
i agree ITU should be stating the 3g-4g based on Network deployment (like in other posts 2g, 3g and 4g use Diferant hardware and frequency's) HSDA is an Upgraded on the HSDPA spec no more just it happens to be 2.5x faster then it (but in real use more like 5-20% faster)
it was Network operators that managed to force ITU to give HSPA the fake 4g logo when its not an new network
I call my 3G access "Mary"
I knew the Apple 4G wouldn't work in Aus, but I bought the iPad 3 anyway.
Call it what you will. 4G, 3G, Mary.
It works just find on the iPad.
Caveat emptor.
Engage the footgun!
If Apple wants to claim that HSDPA+ is 4G then my Galaxy Tab (original) that I've had for a year is 4G, using the Optus network.
The reality is that only Telstra has LTE, and the only phone I know of that can use it is a special Galaxy SII that only Telstra sells.
Re: Engage the footgun!
HSDPA has been around for an long time even my HTC blackstone had HSDPA and HSUPA and that phone is OLD (on the GALAXY Tab they mite be calling HSUPA > HSDPA+)
HSPA (or HSPA+ its the same name just with out the +)
If this was a car dealership...
- "Hello Sir, are you looking for a new shiny sports car? You have our 3rd generation 2 litre 8 valve engine. You need an upgrade. How about our new shiny sports car, the 4th generation 2 litre 16 valve Turbo engine? That is *FAST*! "
Client poneys up and pays, and returns 2 weeks later:
- "You lying bugger! There is no turbocharger on this car!!"
- "I know. Turbochargers are expensive to install, and we may have a turbocharger in next year's model. You *really* have a 3rd generation release 2, the only difference is 16 valves, but if we did not lie about the turbocharger, we could not gouge you for another 8 grand, and pretend that our cars are better than some of our competitors who do."
- "What? Give me back my 8 grand you lying toad"
- "Yeah right, see you in court sucker!"
No difference from usual Apple bullshit.
"Sequence shortened", "User experience may differ" etc etc.
In short, when you buy Apple, you don't really get anything like the TV advert, but by the time you work that out, it's too late...
Of course Apple are untouchable in most countries.
It USED to be a standards Organisation
I have not attended ITU meetings for some considerable time, (the middle to late 1990's). At that time the ITU used to develop and agree standards in spite of attempts by the USA contingent to rail-road their pet interests. How sad it has been sold out to the commercial chicanery of a few less than honest 'special interest groups'.
I guess we can now expect Apple to come up with some other 'stretches of the truth'. E.g. put your data on a blue ray disk and throw it, Frisbee style, for really high speed data transfer, the new 5 generation perhaps?
Is the problem that Foxcon cannot yet implement the required standards?
Apple, the definition of sloppy standards and marketing that makes Dell Boy look honest.
Car analogy
I akin it the following here in Australia.
Ford brings out a new 4 cylinder Mustang, however they market it and stick V8 badges all over it.
The car experts know that inside it's actually just a 4 cylinder and makes the informed choice.
To the common person who hears about and sees this new Mustang thinks "oh look, V8 badges, it's a V8, it must be so quick and on par with other V8's on sale." Subsequently goes off to purchase one.
Ford says, well we think our car is just as fast as a v8 thereby it MUST be a V8.
General Motors, Chrysler and other car companies knowing that marketing is the key to their next Christmas bonus all lower the requirements to call a V8 a V8 in America, (and push it across the world) saying that a V8 doesn't need to be a v8 and well a V6 can be a V8 too as it's too expensive to make a new V8 power-plant.
Australia says, hang on a second. We have pretty clear cut definitions for V8's. A V8 is a V8 and get's marketed as such here, we have real V8's rolling around going pretty quick and have been a major investment by one company who went and built a new V8 network. Sticking a V8 badge on a 4 cylinder is poor form and the average Australian Joe is going to get sucked in not knowing any better. We are going to sue you on behalf of the Australian people for being jerks.
Wrong analogy
Its like Ford advertising a car as being capable of 200MPH, but if you run it on the low octain gnats piss that they call petrol locally it will only hit 120. Same engine, same spec, different local infrastructure.
Re: Wrong analogy
No, "V8" is the right analogy.
It's not an iPad WiFi + 20mbps, it's an iPad WiFi+4G
Apple are now trying to claim that it's "as good as 4G", based on the performance (the "mph" analogy explains Apple's argument but doesn't illustrate their original transgression). The branding, marketing and implicit sales promise is built on (mis)representing the inclusion, support and capability of a specific technology in the product.
But anyone who was that disappointed with 3/4/somethingG could take it back for a full refund if they felt that the ipad didn't do what it said. They didn't?!? so why are the government consumer affairs people going to courts? sorry suddenly became obvious.
"Of course it's 4G!"
"...you're just holding it wrong."
Astonished! Shocked!
Let's all back up a bout twenty paces and ask ourselves: Does anyone ever believe anything they're told about cellular telephone service?
Maybe life is different in Australia, but in Canada the working assumption is that all cel companies are populated by lying, dishonest, greedy scum. By extension, any claim by anyone that references cellular telephone service is assumed to be pure and unadulterated bullshit.
Re: Astonished! Shocked!
No, life here is Aus is no different.
Triumph of lawyers over marketing
If you thought that marketing triumphing over the engineers was bad enough, this exercise would appear to be gearing up to be a triumph of lawyers over marketing. The amount of publicity this has garnered in Oz (all the major news conduits covered it prominently) is enough that no-one is going to be fooled by a lawyer driven victory over a technical loophole. The damage is done, and anyone in marketing with any sense understands the first rule of holes. Stop digging, and work out a way to spin a backdown into some form of positive light. But if you continue digging, it never gets better. A victory will not be perceived as Apple acting in a manner they imagine they are viewed in the marketplace, but rather something much more squalid. It takes a long time to build a reputation, but a very short time to damage it.
Total non-issue - probably some Aussie lawyers wanting to make a big issue out of it. Apple have offered FULL refunds for anyone 'confused' and I suspect they will get almost none back - certainly very few more than they normal money back warranty. They have updated their point of sale material to clarify it - what else do they expect?
Basically it's clearly explained and anyone who says it was not gets their cash back = end of story.
HSPA+ is regarded by almost everyone as being a 4G network and it can be up to 100x faster than the actual 3G spec.
some in the USA maybe (some less informed user thinking that saying the 3g spec is 4g makes things 2x faster then before if you call going from 1-2mb to 2-4mb an improvement)
in the EU LTE is the 4g network
HSPA is an Upgrade the the 3g network (and its Not 100x faster then HSDPA more like 5-20% faster unless your area is not heavy loaded) anything is faster then basic 3g UMTS speeds
"Ford brings out a new 4 cylinder Mustang, however they market it and stick V8 badges all over it."
Apples and pears if you pardon the pun.
The difference is the 4 cyl. Mustang can never be a V8 - the iPad + 4G does support 4th Generation networks (although there is a question over the LTE frequencies) but it still supports HSPA+ which is now regarded as a 4G network.
The sooner these things were actually properly defined the better - 3G is technically anything over 200kbps - so does not sound unreasonable (now) that 4G would be anything over 10-20mbps (50-100x faster).
4G does not have to be WiMax or LTE or HSPA+ - it could be any of them - the important point is the speed it is capable of.

3267: When should hands be raised during the prayer?
I would like to know raising the hands during the prayers. What is the right act exactly? As we know in the deen there must be unity, even in the daily prayer. So there are many ahadith speaking differently about raising the hands: one of them speaks of raising the hands only after the first takbeer, and another is speaking about raising the hands after all takbeer. What is right? We have only one messenger (Muhammad s.a.w) so there must be one way of praying!!
Praise be to Allaah.
It is Sunnah to raise one's hands in four places during the prayer:
When pronouncing Takbeer al-Ihraam (the first Takbeer), when bowing in Rukoo', when rising from Rukoo' and when standing up after the first Tashahhud. Ibn 'Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrated that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) started his prayer, he would say "Allaahu akbar" and raise his hands, when he bowed in rukoo' he would raise his hands, when he said "Sami'a Allaahu liman hamidah [Allaah hears those who praise Him]" he would raise his hands, and when he stood up after two Rak'ahs he would raise his hands. (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 2/222; Abu Dawood, 1/197).
The meaning of "when he stood up after two Rak'ahs he would raise his hands" is, when he stood up after the first Tashahhud.
The hands may be raised to the level of the shoulders or the ears. See Al-'Ayni fi'l-'Umdah, 5/7; Sharh Muslim by al-Nawawi, 4/95; Sifat Salaat al-Nabi by al-Albaani, 87.

Two more rounds of high school seniors received their diplomas this weekend during what attendees described as emotional and exciting graduation ceremonies.
Thirty-five seniors from Ferndale High School received their graduation diplomas at Belotti Hall at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds on Friday evening, school counselor Tina Toste said. Around 300 friends and family members attended to cheer them on.
Toste said Caroline Evans and Nalani Gurnee tied for valedictorian and gave speeches at the graduation. The high school band played, and there was a presentation of scholarships students received for their higher education.
"It's exciting to help support the students in this next phase of their lives that they're starting," Toste said.
St. Bernard's Catholic School college counselor Lynn Enemark said seniors from the school received their diplomas at Sacred Heart Church in Eureka. About 400 friends and family members filled the building for the graduation at 11 a.m. on Saturday.
"The big thing our school's graduation is known for is the rose ceremony. Seniors hand out roses to teachers and loved ones in the middle of the ceremony, before they get their diploma," Enemark said. "This year we (had) 850 roses. Each student decides how many they wanted to distribute during the graduation."
Enemark said Felix Huang played the ukulele while Isaylia Tulmau sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," and salutatorian Lucy Zhang and valedictorian Yvonne Chen gave speeches.Tiffany Sacra Garcia, who is an associate professor at Oregon State and graduated from St. Bernard's Catholic School in 1991, was the guest speaker.
"It's a very emotional ceremony because a number of them have been with us since kindergarten," Enemark said. "We're a very tight community. People start to really feel like a family when they're here."

text: Carrot and Stick: Obama Suggests Gitmo Closure in Second Term Print article Send a Tip by John Sexton 20 Oct 2012 post a comment One of Obama's explicit election promises in 2008 was that he would close America's prison at Guantanamo Bay. In his appearance on Jon Stewart's show Thursday night, now-President Obama announced this was a goal for his second term. Commenting on the idea Friday as part of a panel on the Alex Wagner show, Melissa Harris-Perry agreed this was beneficial to selling the idea of a second Obama term. Not explained by Harris-Perry: Why should we expect Obama's second attempt to close Gitmo to be any more effective than his first attempt? Contrary to the partisan claims made on Wagner's show, the failure to close Gitmo was not simply the result of Republican intransigence. In fact, it's ironic that not closing Gitmo turns out to be one of the few popular, bipartisan acts Congress embraced during Obama's first term. In January 2009, days after being sworn in, Obama signed an executive order vowing to close Gitmo within one year. But within days of signing the order, Britain refused to take any of the prisoners Obama was hoping to unload. Germany refused a similar request in June. Meanwhile, about 65 percent of the public disagreed with closing the prison. In June of 2009, Congress weighed in when it sent funding bills to Obama which pointedly did not include money for closing Guantanamo Bay. By October of that year, Congress added language to a Homeland security bill which prohibited the transfer of detainees to American soil. A total of 88 House Democrats joined Republicans in voting for the provision. Despite this, two months later Obama announced plans to move detainees to a prison in Illinois. By June of 2010 Obama had given up on closing Gitmo entirely. The NY Times noted that "the Obama administration has sidelined efforts to close the Guantánamo prison, making it unlikely that President Obama will fulfill his promise to close it before his term ends in 2013." Adding Gitmo to the President's very short list of clear promises for a second term doesn't sound promising, but this may be exactly what Obama plans to do. On October 2nd, the government announced it would buy a prison in Illinois to which it could transfer Gitmo prisoners. Is this a legitimate attempt to keep a 2008 campaign promise or just a last-minute effort to muddy the waters on Obama's failure to get this done? The fact that this is coming up just weeks before the election suggests the latter.

ROI of Adding a Call Center to Sales and Marketing Strategies
As automotive shopping habits are evolving, so are communication and technology. In this workshop, the speaker will discuss how dealerships can use a high-level of consistent phone engagement to influence today's car shoppers and drive a higher level of sales, service and retention.
How to Win Customers & Increase Sales Without Being the Lowest Price!
Despite the fact that consumers are visiting an average of only one dealership during the car buying process, they are shopping more than they ever have in history. Historically, dealerships have utilized advertising to increase lot traffic, which increased sales. In today's digital world, consumer touch-points in the car buying process are increasing yearly while dealers are seeing their marketing influence decrease.
Cutting Through The Bull#@!t
Pandora, Pinterest, TV, Hulu, SEM/SEO, YouTube, TruView, Social, Iheartradio, Preroll, TerrestrialRadio, Twitter, DirectMail, Retargeting, Facebook… Never before has there been so many choices, so many options, so many buzz words. What is a dealership supposed to do?
Winning the Car Shopper in a Mobile-Enabled World
Consumers today are more connected to data about your business than they have ever been. With mobile devices in their pockets, they have access to information about your dealership, your pricing, your competitors and more.
Be a Data-Driven Dealer: Make Decisions With Your Head, Not Your Gut
Can you answer these three questions off of the top of your head: Where are your most of your sales coming from? What is your hottest seller? Which campaign has been performing the best for you over the past 90 days?
How to Start Making the Most of Your Service Customers Time
Are you eager to transform your dealership's service BDC and appointment processes? It's about time you guard your service department with the tools, processes, and training that allow you to proactively reach out to service customers, schedule service appointments and build loyal, meaningful relationships with those customers.
Deeplinking with LotLinx – How to Sell More Cars, Faster & at a Fraction of the Cost of Other Marketing Methods
It's been two decades since the auto industry started actively marketing cars online. Aside from the growth of mobile usage, not much has changed since then. That is, until now. Today, millions of consumers still rely on third party auto research sites to find cars, only now, 98% of them refuse to fill out lead forms.
Inbound Marketing: How to Win Customers By Influencing People
In our hyper-competitive industry, we've seen technology evolve to match consumer desires for instant information. The pages on your website that convert the best are also the ones that provide instant gratification of some sort to your customer. Our industry has created technology that helps facilitate the organization of these conversions and better track customers as they proceed along the road to a purchase.
Driving Employee Engagement with Reviews
Dealer reviews today pack a powerful marketing punch as they represent honest and pure feedback on how a customer feels about doing business with your dealership. But today's progressive dealers know that their online reviews are much more than marketing — they're a source of employee engagement AND employee retention – both of which ultimately impact the bottom line!
Drive Summer Automotive Sales with Bing Ads Presented by Microsoft
Accelerate your auto sales as a Bing Ads expert guides you through seizing a piece of the growing search marketing opportunity. According to Kenshoo, search is the #1 resource used by today's auto customer. During this webinar, you'll learn how to get your ads in front of these customers, and stand up against your competition.
10 Key Lessons for Winning with Online Shoppers
Thanks to the internet, your competition is no longer just the five or six dealerships next to you—it is the hundreds of dealerships that consumers have access to on their laptops, tablets and mobile devices. Consumers are making decisions online before you have a chance to talk to or even see them!
Live Chat: The White Glove Experience
Will Rogers once said "You only have one chance to make a good first impression". Because chat allows shoppers to remain anonymous and get instant answers to their questions, chat is a preferred method of contact for today's consumer. However, when the shopper gets sub-par service and vague answers to their questions, your chance to make a good first impression has been ruined.
Websites That Sell
Any sales process includes listening, matchmaking, demonstrating, and closing. This webinar reveals new website design techniques for better listening, matchmaking, demonstrating, and linking the shopper to the physical store where the demonstration can be completed and the deal closed. Website content, design, and reporting will all be covered in this fast moving and dynamic presentation.
Smart Dealers and Smart Apps: Personalized Communications and Retention Tools from Pulse Auto Dealer App
Dealerships can grab a piece of prime real estate on their customers' Smartphone with a custom branded Mobile App. Gartner Research company recently predicted that over 102 billion apps would be downloaded — a number that is only set to grow exponentially in the coming years. This trend will revolutionize the way dealerships do business focussing on personalized customer interactions and building loyalty resulting in increased revenue and improved overall CSI performance.
Think Like a Network: Know Your Market and Delight Your Audience Through Data
From demographics to competition, your local market is unlike any other in the country — which means the strategies that are successful for your 20 group or even the dealer across town won't necessarily work for you. Take a page out of the playbook of the TV networks to understand your potential buyers with Nielsen-like precision and target them with finely tuned messaging through the right channels.
What Today's Auto Shoppers Don't Want from Your Dealership
24. That's how many different research points today's automotive shopper touches before making a purchase, according to Google's Vehicle Shopper Path to Purchase study. Therefore, your dealership should be present on all 24, correct? WRONG. You cannot be everywhere, on every channel, all the time and do so effectively – unless you have an unlimited budget and no boss to answer to.
2 Critical Digital Marketing Trends: Intelligent Mobile Advertising and Effective Marketing Automation
Join Ron Morrison, VP of Dealer Marketing for ELEAD1ONE, Brian Pasch, Owner of PCG Consulting, and Michael Boyer, CEO of AdSmart, Inc. and discover the latest digital marketing trends and mobile marketing tactics in the marketplace. Dealers that are looking to add an intelligent hyper-geo-targeted approach to your digital marketing strategy will want to attend this event.
Customer Retention: The Power of Prepaid Maintenance with Fidelis PPM
Customer retention is one of the top buzz words in almost every industry, including automotive. On average, dealers lose 82% of their customers to aftermarket service centers. That equates to potentially tens of thousands of dollars lost each month. This loss is attributed to not having adequate or affordable prepaid maintenance programs in place, or simply a lack of continued communication with the customer. Join me on March 20th to learn how Fidelis PPM answers both of these issues.
Win the Online Battle for the Test Drive!
58% of car buyers are now just visiting ONE dealership before they buy. You need to make sure that you're that one dealership. Not an easy task considering that the average shopper will visit 8 websites before they pick a store to visit and buy from.
The key questions you need to answer is WHY online shoppers should both hand over their contact details on line and why they should then choose to visit your store first. If you don't one of your competitors is going to sell them a car. This is even more critical when you might not be the most convenient location for certain shoppers.
Lost Leads! Don't Let it Happen!
This webinar topic was inspired by an article in Automotive News written by Dave Barkholz entitled, "Lost Leads." Lost leads… When I started to think of all of the money most dealers spend to get leads only to lose them it made me cringe, and for your dealership it doesn't have to be that way! This webinar is broken down into two segments: First… My list of the most prevalent lead leaks in your online marketing and how to fix them. The second part will address how you can proactively turn more of your leads into confirmed appointments, shows and sales.

A longtime Highland Township supervisor has been charged with environmental law violations while serving as the certified operator of the James City sewage treatment plant.
Charlie Vaughn, 75, chairman of the township Board of Supervisors, until recently served as the state-certified operator at the sewage plant in James City. He resigned within the past few months.
According to a statement issued Monday by Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly, Vaughn is accused of filing "falsified environmental reports" with the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).Â
The Kane Eagles Club continues to help people in need from our area.

MT. JEWETT – Non-profit organizations and groups in Mt. Jewett are invited to apply for a share of the funds raised for a state-sanctioned Charter School in the borough.

RIDGWAY – A Ridgway man incarcerated since July 24 on arson and related charges, as well as charges of attempted murder and assault, was in Elk County Court Monday appealing for a reduction in bail so that he may be released from jail and return home while awaiting trial.
Francis Anthony Milliard, 54, of 76 Long Level Rd., Ridgway, waived arraignment and entered not guilty pleas Monday in five separate cases against him, including a 2010 Ridgway arson, a 2008 Johnsonburg arson, the assault of a Ridgway man, firearms possession by a convicted felon, and a drug offense.
The Kane Middle School girls basketball seventh- and eighth-grade teams traveled to St Marys on Friday afternoon to take on Elk County Catholic.

CURWENSVILLE – For the second straight week, the Kane Wolves (2-3) played an undefeated AML South rival. For the second straight week, the Wolves fell behind early, fought back and played close for nearly four quarters only to come up short down the stretch.

Mrs. Joanne Spence Lacy, 83, of Sheffield, went to be with the Lord on Sept. 27, 2012 at 5:30 p.m. in the Rouse Warren County Home.
Joanne was born in Kane on April 12, 1929, to the late Winfield and Carrie Simpson Spence.
Mrs. Lacy enjoyed traveling with her husband D.L. in their Winnebago with their camping club. She also enjoyed baking, making the best pies ever, but her greatest love was her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Employed at Sylvania, she retired after 25 years service.
The Kane Wolves lost a 52-40 shootout to undefeated Brockway last Friday night at Paul R Miller Stadium. The Rovers took the opening kickoff and marched downfield for an early score. The Wolves offense answered back, but that set the tone for the night—with Brockway going ahead, the Wolves scoring to stay within striking distance. Unfortunately, the Wolves couldn't keep up with the scoring pace and the Rovers sealed the victory with a touchdown in the final minutes.
Numerous studies have shown that "buying locally" strengthens the economic base for a community.
That's why Kane area residents are being asked to show more support for their own local hospital.
"We really need to stick together and pull together," Gary Rhodes said Thursday. He has worked at Kane Community Hospital (KCH) for 25 years and has been the chief executive officer (CEO) for the past 16 years.

Sears Canada has announced its plans to lay off nearly 800 employees over the next six months, as well to shut down its central parts processing center in Belleville, Ontario, and 16 other stand-alone parts processing locations.
A Fairview Heights, Ill., businessman, protesting what he described as the city's excessive development regulations and lack of financial help, decided to make a statement by visiting the local Lowe's and asking for the five brightest colors the store had in stock, according to an article in the Belleville News Democrat.
Lowe's has announced three new stores to be opened in Canada in the fourth quarter...
