Today's cheap or chic challenge is not a difficult one to guess, but it is interesting to see an original style turn instantly generic in its high street incarnation. One of these styles is a Marc Jacobs original, the other is a strangely familiar shoe from

It's a 'High Street Vs Designer' feature, so it stands to reason that Steve Madden would be involved! This time Mr Madden has looked for "inspiration" from one of the most recognisable shoes of recent times - Balenciaga's famous 'lego' shoes, shown on the rig

Thanks must go to our forum superstar Julia for alterting me to this bit of designer vs high street brilliance. On the left are the Chloe originals, metal-tipped t-bars with chain detailing. They'll set you back a few hundred squids if you can even find them.

I am back! We still haven't set up innernet at our apartment, so I have to sneak away to the coffee shop when I can. I have been working on this post for a couple of weeks, but never had a chance to actually post it. This morning, I got to work a little early, and had time to proofread my post and upload some pictures. Also, I am wearing red heels. Did you know that only whores wear red shoes? Seriously, once during my clinic class we were talking about women, the law, and sexuality, and one law review article quoted a judge stating that, in his opinion, "only whores were red shoes." Funnily enough, I was wearing red heels that day, and I proudly marched around the rest of the day, proclaiming my apparent whoredom.
Okay, as I noted in my last 3 volume sized post, I have been car shopping.
The transmission in my faithful Buick died and the Knight and I decided that rather than fixing it, it was time for me to have a car that I loved.
See, ever since I was 16, I have driven hand-me-downs. Now, I am not ungrateful. And, I realize that many other people would be so glad to have driven the cars that I drove. It's just that I am a tiny bit of a car person. Like many people, I am invigorated by driving fast, turning up the radio, and singing at the top of my lungs. When I was younger, I dreamed about my first car like some girls dreamed about their weddings. But, over the years financial common sense and practicality won over good looks and fast engines, and so I have driven a host of donated cars.
First, when I turned 16 I got a 1990 Chevy Corsica. I think we named it Carrie, but I can't remember. My grandmother gave it to me, and it was a very cute starter car. It was fairly reliable, and great for a new driver to learn on. After I got in an accident and totaled out the Corsica (my freshman year of college), my aunt sold me her purple 1996 Dodge Neon for about $500. My friends and I endearingly referred to that car as the Cupcake because of its size and color, but whatever it had in cuteness it lacked in reliability and safety. The Cupcake let me down too many times to count, and I know I paid for that car many times over its worth in repairs. The Cupcake met her demise on the side of the road in Arkansas in the middle of a 108 degree day (timing belt issues). I safely hitched a ride with a trucker, and though I later got it fixed, Cupcake was never the same.
After the Cupcake, my uncle (who is married to the aunt who sold me the Cupcake) felt so bad about the Neon that he gave me his old 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Although it was an Oldsmobile, I have to say that it was pretty cute one. It had a sunroof, leather seats, and radio controls on the steering wheel. The Oldsmobile was the first car that was somewhat reliable. Unfortunately, the motor for the sunroof quit working during its tenure as my car, but other than that, it was a nice car.
Right before the Knight and I got married, his grandmother passed away, and somehow we were chosen to inherit the infamous Buick LeSabre. The Buick had been driven by a granny and when we received it, it only had 36,000 miles on the odometer. My Oldsmobile had about 150,000, so the Knight and I decided to sell it and I would drive the Buick. They always say that hindsight is 20/20, but looking back I wish I would have pushed more to just sell both the Buick and the Oldsmobile and buy something that I would have loved. But, at the time, the Knight felt funny about selling his granny's car, and we weren't married quite yet, so I just stayed out of it.
I have driven the Buick (better known as the "hooptie") for the past 3 years. It has been an interesting experience and the Hooptie and I share a lot of memories. I was in the Buick the day that I got lodged in a car wash and was stuck inside for a couple of hours (talk about terrifying). I started and ended law school in that car. The Knight and I have taken countless road trips sitting upon its burgundy velour seats. We used to joke that the Buick was a hotel on wheels because of the number of naps taken in there and its plushy old person comfyness. I used to get tickled every time I'd drive the Hooptie on the interstate because I could look in my rear view mirror and see a line of cars behind me - their interiors contained drivers cautiously eyeing my car's appointments, trying to determine if I was indeed a "plain white rapper" (undercover cop car) or just some elderly lady driving to get her hair done. Once each car would figure me out, they would zoom by, relieved to have confirmed that their speeding would not be addressed by me.
The Buick has not been a great car, but it seemed to know that the Knight and I needed it to last just a little while longer. Although we have known for about 2 years that it needed a new transmission, our theory was that we would just drive it 'till it died. We both prayed numerous times "just make it through this road trip" or "just last us until law school is over" and "please don't die until we can afford to fix you."
A few weeks ago, the Knight and I spent a good deal of time driving around different areas of Memphis and northern Mississippi looking at nice places to buy a home. We were talking about what to do with the Buick now that we have paychecks. Should we try to fix it or sell it? Almost on cue, the Hooptie's transmission starts to go haywire and our thoughts jump from future repairs to "Are we going to make it home?"
Since then, I have shopped for a car like it was my job. I have Autotradered, CarFaxed, CarMaxxed, ConsumerReported, Kelley BlueBooked, and NADAed the heck out of some car shopping. Finally, about 3 weeks ago, the Knight and I found an extremely nice, extremely well-taken care of Lexus at a local broker/dealership (CITY AUTO). We were literally about to open our mouths and make an offer when the Knight's dad called to say that one of his good friends was selling his old BMW 330ci. And asking an extremely fair price. As much as we hated to tell the oh-so-patient car salesman that sorry, we are going to have to wait, but we simply cannot buy his car unless we go look at this one first, we told him just that and drove home.
The anticipation killed me the rest of the week. I wanted that car so bad I could taste it. I even made a little Word document of cut and pasted pictures featuring the car's body, color and interior. Whenever I would get restless, I would just open that document and start dreaming about my new car.
Well, that weekend we drove to McMinnville to see the car. It was a beauty. Even though it is 7 years old, it looks brand new. Apparently, the lady who drove it got it detailed every week. Every week? Who does that? Amazing.
Anyway, we totally bought it. And it is beautiful. I have never felt so excited about something. Well, okay, maybe I was a tad more excited when the Knight proposed. And getting Betty was a pretty big deal, too. But this car is right up there.
Anyway, here is a picture. The Knight was cute and found a big red bow in the attic, just like those Lexus Christmas commercials. He is too funny. Goodbye Buick, HELOOO BMW!
Here is the best picture I have of the interior. Please don't mind the drunk girl holding the dog in the background. Someone needs to stop feeding her cosmos, that is FOR SURE!
Anyway, I am in love, and I have named her Audrey, because she is classy, lovely, and dainty.
OKAY, you are probably all thinking, MOVE ON, ARTSY FARTSY! We don't care to read 10 pages about your new used car.
If that is so, then we can't be friends, because quite honestly, that is the most exciting thing going on.
But, I guess I can drum up some other gossip. I have a new haircut. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It is kind of a cross between a mullet and the Rachel cut. I think it has potential, but I just haven't quite figured out how to fix it.
The Knight is turning 29 this weekend. He's been kind of pitiful about it, and I don't know what to do to cheer him up. Any suggestions?
The Knight and I are all done decorating our apartment and moving in. So far, we like our location, and generally our apartment complex. Unfortunately, this Sunday both our kitchen sink drain and our guest bathroom toilet got clogged. Nothing says fun like getting awakened by the Knight at 1 in the a.m. to make a mad run to the Walgreens for a plunger. Also, our neighbor is slightly creepy...actually, he is creepy enough to make me ask the Knight to walk out with me at night when I take Betty outside. I can't put my finger on what it is, but all I know is that he gives me shivers...and not in a good way.
I am really starting to like Memphis. There is tons of stuff always going on, and I have already made new friends. Memphians are FRIENDLY! In fact, I have made two Memphis friends via our blogs. First, Amy at Worrell Wind Life and I had lunch when I first moved here. We haven't done much since then, but we're going to have to change that. Amy, I want to hear all about your new job!
Also, Jess(ica) from Fiat Lux and I have had some serious bonding time. Hi Jess! She may disagree, but I think we are well on our way to being good friends. Plus, her hubby and the Knight get along, so that's always good. She is clerking for a judge here, also, and she has an adorable little Yorkie named Reagan. He and Betty are in love, and so we try to do our best to get them together.
As expected, I have become obsessed with the Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma outlets. Of course, it isn't all my fault. At least that's what I keep trying to explain to the Knight. Can I help that my Nashville friends keep coming to visit me and they want to go? I have to be hospitable, right? Who am I to deprive my friends from one of the most holy bargain-hunting experiences?
Okay, well, that is all I can think of for now. Hopefully, in the next post I can put some pictures up of the apartment-ay, and the new painting I did. Also, I will try to put some footage of Betty in her Ballerina costume. Priceless.
Also, Daisy is in town for the entire week, so I am a happy little bee. Last night we ate inexplicable amounts of sushi at Blue Fin and promised to not feel guilty about it.
Ya'll have a good Wednesday!
Artsy Fartsy is trying to figure out where in the world she can buy cool and conservative graphic tees for a soon to be 29 year old that aren't sexual, crude, or frat-tastic. Seriously, who wants a t-shirt that reads "Orgasm Donor?"

Novell Ships Suse Linux Enterprise Real Time 10
Novell today announced the availability of Suse Linux Enterprise Real Time 10, the latest version of Novell's enterprise-class, open source real-time operating system for running high-performance, time-sensitive, mission-critical applications.
With Suse Linux Enterprise Real Time 10, financial organizations can respond more rapidly to changing markets and new information, get greater application reliability and predictability, and identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks. This will allow them to increase revenue opportunities and improve service to their customers, even while reducing computing infrastructure costs.
"In order to win in today's increasingly competitive global markets, companies need to be able to respond quickly while delivering superior products and services," said Roger Levy, senior vice president and general manager of Open Platform Solutions for Novell. "Companies that leverage technology such as SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time 10 to improve responsiveness and availability of critical business services will be better able to compete and grow their own top-line revenues."
With Novell's real-time technology, customers can segment portions of their processors for high-priority mission-critical workloads, as well as ensure that other system processes and tasks do not interrupt them. That means these workloads deliver predictable performance in time-critical environments. Fully supported by Novell, Suse Linux Enterprise Real Time 10 is the only open source, enterprise-class real-time operating system available in the market today.
Enhancements to Suse Linux Enterprise Real Time 10 include the latest enterprise-hardened open source technologies that reduce system latency or delay and improve predictability, such as CPU shielding, priority inheritance, sleeping spinlocks, interrupt threads, high-resolution timers and the latest OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution for commodity high-speed interconnects, OFED 1.2.5. As a result, customers gain time advantage over competitors to make more money or avoid financial losses. They can also increase the availability of their mission-critical applications to ensure quality-of-service targets and service level agreements are met, even while cutting hardware costs.

By a unanimous vote, the tribal owners of the Four Winds Casino near New Buffalo approved plans to build a satellite casino some 45 miles up the road—near Hartford.
The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians actually has permission to build two satellite casinos—but members are only prepared to move ahead with one of the projects at this time.
"With the economy as it is, I think taking one at a time is probably the best way to go," said Tribal Chairman Matt Wesaw
When it came to building the Four Winds Casino near New Buffalo, the sky seemed to be the limit, but the plans for the Hartford area facility are more down to earth.
"We can have up to 1,000 slots," said Wesaw. "We probably will not start out that large, we'll probably go smaller just to make sure…."
Preliminary plans envision 500-slot machines near Hartford along with some table games.
The Hartford area facility would be open 24 hours a day and should create between 250 and 300 jobs.
Furthermore, the Hartford facility would be both owned and operated by the tribe, in contrast to the Four Winds which is managed by Lakes Entertainment, a private company.
"This tribal council, there are 11 of us, we are a very, in my opinion, a very conservative group and we're not going to make rash decisions if we think we can make ten bucks tomorrow, these are long range decisions, you know, in the culture you always talk seven generations ahead," said Chairman Wesaw.
While opening any new business is a gamble given the current economic conditions—the tribe is convinced the Hartford project is a safe bet.
"We've had probably three different studies done, and it appears now from everything we're learning that this is probably the right thing to do and the right time to do it," said Wesaw. "The economy's going to be what we make it, we can't sit back and wait for other people to do it, we've got to make our own economy and I think that's what we're doing."
A total of 19 Indian casinos now dot the Michigan landscape, but Wesaw is convinced that the market can handle one more.
"Even though Michigan, with the second highest unemployment in the country and almost 30-casinos this market is not saturated, there are still openings," said Wesaw. "I don't know how closely you followed, but this past summer there were two different ballot initiatives that folks were attempting to get on the ballot, neither of them were successful, but the potential there was for 15 new gaming sites, now that might have been a saturation point, I'm not sure."
A timetable for the Hartford area project is still up in the air, although the chairman hopes construction would start sometime in 2011.
For Wesaw, Hartford is more than just a spot on the map. "We were born and raised in Bangor, went to the Bangor School System, we were a half a mile from the district line, otherwise we would have been in Hartford, but all or our family lived in Hartford, we were practically raised there, my uncles, my aunt, my grandfather on both my mom and dad's side were from Hartford."

Adams Health Network (AHN) interim CEO JoEllen Eidam revealed to AHN trustees Wednesday night at their monthly meeting that the hospital has successfully recruited another surgeon to join Dr. Anthony Nigliazzo in the practice of general surgery.
Eidam said Dr. Lindsay B. Hardley will be starting her surgical practice at Adams Memorial Hospital (AMH) in September as she will be finishing her surgical residency program at Doctors Hospital (Ohio Health) in Columbus, Ohio, in August.
Early Wednesday morning, a group of police officers arrested eight people in Adams County for a variety of drug violations.
Arrest warrants were issued for the operation by the Adams Circuit Court after covert informants allegedly purchased a variety of controlled substances, including methamphetamines, prescription medications, and marijuana.
ELKHART, Ind. (AP) — A northern Indiana factory where 165 workers build ambulances will be shut down by its new owner in a decision announced a week after the same company said it would close a nearby recreational vehicle plant with about 500 workers.
SJC Industries has notified the state Department of Workforce Development that it will start terminating employees in July from the ambulance factory in Elkhart as it completes production work there.

Losing on the road to a pair of 9-2 teams isn't something to be too disappointed about, it's the way the Lions lost that demands a good amount of concern.

Never a doubt, right fans of the Cleveland Browns? Today's game involving the Browns at the Atlanta Falcons featured two teams heading in very different directions.

When Jose was three, he watched his father tie a rope around his mother's neck and attach it to the back of a Ford F-150. His father then drove off, dragging his mother behind and leaving Jose alone on the sidewalk in front of the family's house. Jose's mother spent two weeks in the hospital after that, where doctors had to wire-scrub her entire back to remove the asphalt and remaining skin before conducting elaborate reconstructive surgery. She still has the scars. Then Jose's father was sent to prison for seventeen years for murdering a man, and it was just Jose and his mom.
Not for long, though. His mother soon had two more boys, and when Jose was seven, she moved them all into the house of a man named Brad. Brad abused Jose's mother, too, screaming at her and hitting her, once even knocking out some of her teeth. He abused Jose as well, throwing stuff at him and hitting him with a belt whenever he squabbled with his little brothers. Jose would escape and wander the streets. Finally, a bowling alley where he showed up a few times begging for food called social services. Jose was eight years old.
"They came to my mom's restaurant," Jose recalls. "Then they asked her where my brothers were. She told them, and they collected all three of us and took us to a facility in Adams County."
And so began Jose's life in the system, a seemingly never-ending trek from foster home to group home to detention and residential-treatment facilities. Since 1998, Jose has lived in more than twenty places.
"I'm a runner," he says with a grin. "Always have been. I get sick and tired of being told what to do, and I'll want to see my family, so I'll just run."
But not every new placement was a result of Jose's tendency to flee. There was the home in Aurora that gave him up after his grandmother died and he started talking suicide. There was the foster family in Centennial who moved away and couldn't afford to take him. There were the houses where he was abused. And then there were all the places he ran from just to run, a short-lived series of residences stretching from Boulder to Colorado Springs, some of them rehabilitative, others placements with normal families. And every time Jose ran, it was another strike in his file, strikes that tended to magnify other charges, like when he got busted for selling weed at the fountain behind the Museum of Nature & Science in May 2005, and the cops discovered that he had an outstanding warrant for running.
Soon after that, his mother's rights to her son were terminated legally because she'd neglected her boys, and Jose wound up at the Aspen Living Center, an independent-living program. While there, he attended Westminster High School, where he played varsity defensive tackle. But he got into a gang fight during the season and had to quit the football team and move to another facility. He ran again and was picked up for a drunken altercation on a #31 bus. After Jose bounced between a few more placements, Jose's parole officer sent him to Lost and Found, a Christian youth residential-treatment facility. Jose has been living at Lost and Found's facility, in Morrison, just past Tiny Town, since the beginning of the year. He's never tried to run. "The first few months I felt the urges, but I don't feel that way anymore," he says.
One reason is that Lost and Found gives him occasional weekend passes to visit cousins or his brother living in a Denver foster home. But another big reason is that at Lost and Found, Jose has learned to think before he acts. He tries to remember what his grandma told him: to walk away from trouble, to make better choices, to live a better life than some of his family, to turn out different.
"If all goes according to plan, I'll be getting out of here in July or August and be able to go back to school again," Jose says. "I worry about falling back into some of my old traps, but I think I can walk away from that. I'm able to talk to people now. I can be more open about certain things. I feel like I have things to look forward to. Basically, I feel like I'm just now learning how to be a normal kid."
Before, he never got the chance. "In Jose's case, he's been shuffled around the system so long, every time he got moved, he would get all stirred up and become volatile," explains Terry Rogers, Lost and Found's residential director. "And a lot of the moves were not his fault. One program closed on him, his mom abandoned him; half the things that happened to this kid are not of his doing. We've been helping him get some clarity on that. There are still pieces of his behavior that he needs to look at, but he's understanding that he is not to blame for everything. That's where a lot of his hope is coming from. He's seeing that he doesn't just have to be a victim of the system, that he can actually get out of it."

How to write the perfect progress report – dos and don'ts
Posted by on Aug 4, 2014 in PMChat Bloggers, Uncategorized | Comments Off
If you work as a project manager, chances are that you have completed dozens of progress reports during your career – if not hundreds! But how effective have they been? Have you had a clear purpose when writing the reports, for instance by wanting your stakeholders to take certain action as a result of them? Or did you fill them in because it was one of those routine tasks that had to be done? Image courtesy of FreeDigitalPhotos.net You may have been very conscientious and particular when filling in your reports, but unfortunately not everyone is, and as a result the weekly status report becomes one of those artifacts that is part of the process without adding much value. Top mistakes Some of the classic mistakes that project managers make is that they include too much static information and not enough about what the real project issues are. In that way the report is not a true reflection of what is really going on. If you just write about what happened during the last reporting period and what you will do during the next reporting period, without mentioning how that compares to plan and what the real risks and issues are, there is no incentive for executives to pay attention to it. In many cases the report is even attached in an email without any context or description, meaning that executives who rely on smartphones are unlikely to ever get to the information.Read More


text: I was really disappointed. I love science fiction, especially time travel, but this film was terribly poor. It moved with the speed of a tortoise, the script was bad and the acting excrutiating. It was a shame because it was an interesting concept and in different hands it could've really sparkled. Everything was so muted and slow, and Kirk Douglas in particular acted badly, as if he wasn't comfortable in the role he was in. There also seemed little point in the story, and it fizzled out as dissapointingly as it began. For science fiction fans, this is a definite no-no. The only people who might be interested are those like military scenes about ships and planes.

Evening All,
Two issues I've been having and hoping for some sort of help!
1) I can deploy Windows 7 using SCCM. It will install the drivers. Join the domain and also install the Config Manager Client however once the computer has finished building, despite the fact it has the client installed it's not showing up in SCCM as having the client installed and it can't communicate with the server. Is there something extra I need to do during the TS to enable it to connect and talk to the SCCM Server?
2) I have created an Office 2010 Application and placed in in the TS at the end to be installed however it never happens! Is there some sort of special way I need to add applications to enable them to be installed during OSD?
I'm sure these questions are fairly basic but I'm having a bit of trouble with them. Hope someone can help!

About the one I'm looking for...
I am looking for someone that is passionate, romantic, sensual, adventurous, open to exploring new frontiers, outgoing but not dominant, fun...someone that values give sand take, has a good sense of humor and a positive attitude. I am looking for someone that wants to be a friend and companion, someone that is youthful in spirit and can be child-like and silly at times. Long term relationship if that what develops naturally.
I'd just like to add...
I love to dance, so that is a must (you don't have to know different dance steps, but must have the dancing spirit. I enjoy cultural things and like to go out to dine. In the nice weather I love to go to the beach, walk, go bike riding, perhaps kayaking. Quiet, romantic evenings are great, too

Robbie Williams will release a new rarities album on December 1 – yes, as in three days from now – exclusively through his official website. Under the Radar Vol. 1 will feature B-sides, demos and other previously unreleased songs. An example of the latter is "Run It Wild," a song that he "once got very, very excited for" and prepped for last year's Take the Crown stadium tour, as explained in his announcement video (above). Clearly, his cat has felt exactly the same way.
Following a one-off performance at the London Palladium, the Brit-pop veteran embarked a 46-date European tour this year for 2013′s Swings Both Ways, his second swing album that featured duets with Kelly Clarkson ("Little Green Apples"), Rufus Wainwright, Michael Buble, Lily Allen and tour opener Olly Murs. Williams also appeared in Avicii's new song "The Days." However, he still wasn't as active in music as he could have been, as he bowed out of Take That's still-forthcoming reunion album, due later this year.
Under the Radar Vol. 1 is available for preorder now. Watch Robbie Williams announce the rarities set up top. Below, watch performances from his 2001 live DVD Live at the Albert, which he uploaded to his official YouTube just yesterday (November 27). More »

Intel Q1 income down 55%, Atom sales drop
Intel on Tuesday reported its first-quarter financial information, showing a 55-percent drop in income while revenue slid 26-percent to $7.1 billion year-over-year. The company also experienced a drop in gross margin from 53 percent last year to 45.6 percent this year, explained by higher factory-underutilization charges and startup costs.
Despite the growth of the netbook segment, sales of Atom processors and chipsets fell 27 percent sequentially. In April of last year, the company was said to be experiencing a shortage of the components and less than 40 percent of the requests were being met.
Reacting to the netbook boom, other chip-makers such as AMD have developed competing products. VIA is also working on new CPUs for small portable devices, with the Nano E-series featuring a 1,333MHz front system bus speed expected to arrive soon. Qualcomm and Freescale recently announced plans to expand their ARM-based component offerings for netbooks.
Intel already shipped 32nm CPU samples
Intel CEO Paul Otellini unveiled his company has shipped thousands of 32nm Westmere processor samples to over 30 EOM customers:
Activision Blizzard and Acer Leave PCGA While Gamestop and Sony DADC Join
The PC Gaming Alliance (PCGA), "a nonprofit corporation promoting PC gaming worldwide, while providing an open forum where companies can cooperate to develop and promote solutions and activities that drive the PC gaming industry forward," lost two of its founding members, today.
Activision Blizzard, known for popular games like World of Warcraft and Call of Duty, and Acer, world's third largest computer manufacturer, both left the PC Gaming Alliance due to membership costs. Randy Stute, the non-profit organization's president, confirmed yesterday that Activision Blizzard and Acer both felt that they could not justify the expense in both money and staff to continue to be a member of the group.
"However Stute also confirmed that gaming retailer Gamestop has just joined the organization on the less expensive "Contributors" level of membership. At the moment Gamestop's membership is not listed on the PC Gaming Alliance's official web site. The most interesting new member, however, is Sony DADC which is the parent company for the SecuROM software solution that several PC game publishers use for their digital rights management set-ups. Stude said that Sony DADC wanted to join the PC Gaming Alliance to give their input on the organization's sub-committee on PC game piracy.
The PC Gaming Alliance now has only three game developers and/or publishers on the board (Epic Games, Capcom and Microsoft)."
AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz and 3 GHz Athlon X2
AMD is brewing up some new processors. The first is to be released next week and is the Phenom II X4 955 processor (April 23rd). This part should be a 125W TDP processor with a frequency of 3.2GHz, it will be the fastest chip in AMD's lineup.
From what we heard is that the processor will be a Black Edition CPU which means unlocked. Pricing wise in the US expect roughly $300 for the CPU and in the EU
Radeon HD 4830 with 800 Shader processors surfaced
Interesting, as you guys know the Radeon HD 4830 is an affordable graphics card from AMD based on RV770LE chip which is priced at around $89.99.
Recently some weird reports surfaced on the web. See, the product should have 640 Shader processors. Yet several buyers report a full 800 stream processors much like the Radeon HD 4850/4870 has. The AIB brands involved include Powercolor, Sapphire and Triplex.
If you are one of the lucky ones, congratulatiosn .. you got a very good deal at 90 bucks.
Check out the GPU-Z screenshot, you'll also notice the RV770 and not LE, apparantly some 4830 boards simply have the 4850 GPU embedded:
OCZ Vertex 120 GB SSD review
With the Vertex series SSD, OCZ offers an extremely high performing SSD with a new controller and ... in addition to that a nice phat 64MB cache to tackle the slow small file write issue.
Now taking this course makes SSDs a little more expensive then they already are, but hear me out on this one. Technology as shown today at one stage will also reach high volume and yes... then the price will go down as well, much like we have seen with the early generation SSD drives from last year.
The result? Well, the Vertex is in many ways a stunning SSD drive that wipes the floor clean with JMicron controller based SSD drives. But sheesh... this thing is fast.

nHancer 2.5.0 Beta 1 download out
There's a new beta out of nHancer, which apparently addresses some important Forceware 185.xx issues.
nVidia's own control panel is not always very intuitive to use. Especially the 3D rendering settings are very cryptic and difficult to navigate. Even the new control panel introduced with the 9x.xx line of Forceware drivers isn't a real improvements for these problems. nHancer is a tool to improve the usage of these features.
But it's such a powerful and handy tool, even for the average guy. So another aspect of nHancer is to improve the handling of those profiles by adding many features that the normal control panel doesn't offer at all and improving the ones that it does offer.

US Congressman Wants to Ban Download Caps
As a result of Time Warner Cable's plan to charge its customers by the gigabyte in Rochester, New York, congressman Eric Massa "called TWC's proposal to switch its 8.4 million cable broadband customers to metered internet billing an "outrageous plan to tax the American people."
Critics say usage caps will cost users more and hurt innovation on the net - especially in new video services, as subscribers begin to calorie-count their internet usage. TWC's new tiered pricing structure for its Roadrunner internet service starts at $15 for a plan that allows 1 GB a month with an overage charge of $2 per GB. (A GB of data equals about three hours of online video from Hulu.com and about half of a rented standard definition movie.) The company says bandwidth hogs need to pay their fair share and maintain that if the company doesn't get enough money to build new infrastructure, "internet brownouts" will be inevitable.
In a conference call with reporters Tuesday, Massa dismissed those arguments, describing TWC as a greedy, unregulated monopoly providing a utility service. His yet-to-be-introduced bill would seek to increase competition among broadband providers and regulate monopolies, he said, though he declined to give specifics."
Particularly interesting is the fact that "Time Warner Cable's 2008 annual report shows its high-speed data costs actually declined by 12 percent to $146 million. Meanwhile its subscriber count increased by more than 10 percent to 8.4 million, and high-speed data revenues climbed to more than $4 billion.
"Congress must investigate these anti-competitive practices before they become a nationwide problem." Timothy Karr, a campaign director at the consumer advocate group FreePress, said last week.
A Massa spokesman said the text of the bill would be ready late in the week." [via Wired]
OCZ launches DDR3 modules for AMD Socket AM3
Memory maker OCZ has introduced four new DDR3 memory kits for AMD Socket AM3 systems:

- OCZ PC3-12800 Gold AMD Edition Low Voltage (2x2GB) 8-8-8-24 @ 1.65v
- OCZ PC3-10666 Platinum Low Voltage AMD Edition (2x2GB) 7-7-7-20 @ 1.65v
- OCZ PC3-10666 Gold AMD Edition Low Voltage (2x2GB) 9-9-9-20 @ 1.65v
Intel Larrabee to be huge and expensive
Bright Side of News reports the Larrabee wafer that Pat Gelsinger showed off at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing last week contains 64 Larrabee dies, each measuring around 600 square millimeters.
Intel's parallel computing chip is massive and it is guessed at that Larrabee has between 1.65 billion and 1.75 billion transistors, if correct that's about 300 million more than NVIDIA's GT200 GPU.
According to some sources, first Larrabee chips will be built using 45nm High-K Hafnium-loving process with a move to 32nm a year after. Now, if Bloomfield die [Core i7] is 263mm2 in size and is consisted out of 731 million transistors, that means that Larrabee's 600mm2 die would end somewhere in the 1.65-1.75B transistor range.
If you're not impressed at the specs of this chip, with its 12 P55C-based cores + Vector units, think again. ATI is testing 40nm manufacturing with RV740, a $99 chip featuring 826 million transistors. Intel's "test" has more than double that. However, the entrance into the world of cGPU or GPGPU won't be that easy. From the hardware side, ATI is currently shipping 959M parts [4890] and 1.92B with their dual-GPU cards [4850X2/4870X2], nVidia ships 1.4B part for almost a year now [GTX260/275/280/285], or 2.8 billion transistor part if you count their dual-GPU part - GeForce GTX295 [via BSN].

Mainstream Support for Office 2003 and Windows XP Ends
Although Windows XP and Office 2003 extended support only ends in 2014, meaning that Microsoft is going to release critical security fixes until then, its mainstream support of XP and Office 2003 ends today, on 14/04/2009. Non-security related problems with both softwares are only being fixed by paying Microsoft through an extended support contract. The free live support and warranty support ends today, while the free maintenance gets limited to security fixes.
The Microsoft Support Lifecycle (MSL) policy states that: "Extended Support includes paid support (support that is charged on an hourly basis or per incident), security update support at no additional cost, and paid hotfix support. To receive hotfix support, an Extended Hotfix Support contract must be purchased within the first 90 days following the end of the Mainstream Support phase. Microsoft will not accept requests for warranty support, design changes, or new features during the Extended Support phase."
Microsoft Ordered to Pay $388 Million in Lost Patent Case
Uniloc Inc., founded in 2003 and headquartered in Irvine, California, won its patent law dispute after six years of legal skirmishes and a trial starting in March, in a federal court in Rhode Island. Microsoft was ordered to pay $388 million in damages, since the jury found that Microsoft "infringed Uniloc's patent on software that generates unique identities for licensed users and prevents unauthorized use or copying of programs."
"Uniloc USA and its Singapore-based parent originally filed suit against Microsoft in 2003, claiming that Microsoft infringed its patent with security software it was using to prevent unlicensed use of its Windows XP operating system and parts of its Office suite of products. (...) The damages award is one of the largest on record in patent law disputes."
Microsoft responded by saying that they will appeal the verdict: "We believe that we do not infringe, that the patent is invalid and that this award of damages is legally and factually unsupported," said a Microsoft spokesman. "We will ask the court to overturn the verdict."
New SandForce SSD Controller SF-1000 Revealed
Quietly working on a new SSD controller for the past three years, SandForce announced a new family of solid-state disk (SSD) processors, the SF-1000, today. According to the company based in Saratoga, California, this new technology is supposed to "address the inherent endurance, reliability, and data retention issues associated with NAND flash memory, making it possible to build SSDs that deliver unprecedented performance over the life of the drive with orders-of-magnitude higher reliability than enterprise-class HDDs (Hard Disk Drives)."
"The SF-1000 SSD Processor Family promises to address key NAND flash issues allowing MLC flash technologies to be reliably used in broad based, mission critical storage environments," said Mike Desens, Vice President for System Design, IBM.
SandForce claims that this new controller can improve MLC sequential read/writes to 250MB/sec., while it's new firmware DuraWrite, supposedly extends "flash rated endurance by 80x or more when compared to standard controllers."
Another part of its new technology is called RAISE "(Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements), which delivers an orders-of-magnitude improvement in drive reliability versus today
