Cooler Master's NovaTouch TKL; we're OK with $240 keyboards becoming common?
Subject: General Tech | October 10, 2014 - 01:23 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: topre, NovaTouch TKL, mechanical keyboard, cooler master, Cherry MX
That is not a typo, the NovaTouch TKL is currently selling for $240 on Amazon, and you don't even get a numpad. However if you are a keyboard aficionado, which obviously some people are, the mix of Topre switches and Cherry MX caps may just take your fingers to typing nirvana. The latter was certainly the conclusion at The Tech Report who found the Topre Cherry MX mix to be uniquely satisfying and preferred it to the other expensive keyboards they have tried recently. If you are looking for something special to type on and don't have a tendency to drink near your computer then you should check out the review, if you are more prone to spillage you might want to give this one a miss.
CoolerMaster would like to point out that the MSRP for the NovaTouch TKL is actually $199 USD and you can occaisonally find it for a bit less. Also to be fair, The Tech Report is not kidding when they describe the $200 keyboard market as crowded ... there are a lot of $200 keyboards, just none on my desk.
"This $200 keyboard from Cooler Master features genuine Topre switches modified to fit Cherry MX key caps. Is it a good mix? We investigate."

Symantec starts a non-destructive reformat
Subject: General Tech | October 10, 2014 - 12:30 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: symantec, security, norton, billions
Symantec is splitting its self down the middle, with one side focusing on their antivirus and security products, which apparently still sell and are not just bundled with new laptops and computers, and the other handling information management. Considering they made nearly $7 billion last year someone must be buying their software and even more shocking they must be renewing the license which came with the new machine. Those commenting on Slashdot immediately tried to help Norton out by suggesting that one side should create and spread viruses while the other should come in like a white knight and slay them. That would certainly make it a more interesting read; even so the fact that Symantec is still alive and prospering is enough of a shock for a Friday morning.
"Symantec announced plans on Thursday to split into two separate, publicly traded companies – one focused on security, the other focused on information management. The company's security business generated $4.2 billion in revenue in fiscal year 2014 while its information management business meanwhile hit revenues of $2.5 billion. "As the security and storage industries continue to change at an accelerating pace, Symante c's security and IM businesses each face unique market opportunities and challenges," Symantec CEO Michael A. Brown, who officially took over as CEO last month, said in a statement."

Lenovo Launches Atom-Powered Yoga Tablet 2 Tablets Running Android or Windows
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | October 9, 2014 - 05:02 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: yoga tablet 2, yoga tablet, Windows 8.1, Lenovo, atom, Android
Back in January, Ryan got his hands on Lenovo's 8-inch and 10-inch Yoga tablets. The tablets ran Android OS, had good battery life, and featured a unique design that included a tube and kickstand. Despite less-than-stellar performance, Ryan came away with positive impressions thanks to the comfortable form factor and long battery life.
That was almost a year ago. Today, Lenovo unveiled updated Yoga tablets that address the pitfalls of the previous models while keeping the unique ergonomic form factor. The Yoga Tablet 2, like its predecessor, comes in 8-inch and 10-inch models and will run Android or Windows 8.1 operating systems, depending on the specific SKU. The Yoga Tablet 2 features upgrades to full resolution displays, Intel Atom Z3745 processors (the previous models used a quad core MediaTek Cortex-A7), and an improved 180-degree hinge. The Android versions come in silver while the Windows 8.1 tablets are ebony black. The table below lists the dimensions and weight of the various models.
8" Android | 10" Android | 8" Windows | 10" Windows | |
Dimensions | 8.3"x5.9"x0.1-0.3" | 10"x7.2"x0.1-0.3" | 8.3"x5.9"x0.1-0.3" | 10"x7.2"x0.1-0.3" |
Weight | 0.92 pounds | 1.36 pounds | 0.94 pounds | 1.39 pounds |
The Yoga Tablet 2 systems have the same general design as the previous models including one tubular side that holds a large battery, front facing stereo speakers, a power button, and an audio jack. One difference is in the kickstand, which can now be rotated 180-degrees and has a cutout that allows it to be hung on a wall or the back of an airplane seat (for example). Further, the Yoga Tablet 2 (8" and 10" alike) features an 8-inch or 10-inch display with a resolution of 1920x1200, a 1.6MP webcam, and a 8MP rear camera with auto focus and an improved BSI 2 (backside illumination) sensor.
Internal specifications are a huge improvement over the previous models including an Intel Atom Z3745 SoC (quad core clocked at 1.86 GHz with 2MB cache), 2GB LP-DDR3L memory, and internal flash storage. The Android models come with 16GB of internal storage while the Windows versions come with 32GB internal storage. In both cases, uses can use a micro SD card up to 64GB to expand upon the internal storage. Other features include dual band 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, optional 4G (not available in the US), and a battery life of up to 18 hours.
The Android-powered version ships with Android 4.4 KitKat while the Windows version ships with Microsoft Windows 8.1 and one year of Office 365. The Windows version is able to take advantage of Intel Burst technology to allow monitoring of usage and overclocking to improve time to idle and reduced processing time at full load to improve battery life and balance performance.
The 10-inch Windows version comes bundled with a Bluetooth Accutype keyboard cover that can also be purchased separately for the 10-inch Android tablet.
Lenovo looks to have a winner on its hands with its updated Yoga Tablet 2 tablets, and I'm interested to see reviewers put them through their paces. On the Android side, the 8-inch Yoga Tablet 2 has a MSRP of $249 and the 10-inch model has a MSRP of $299. The Windows model starts at $299 for the 8-inch model and $399 for the 10-inch model with bundled keyboard. According to Lenovo these are the launch prices and rebates may be available in the future.

Three strikes; you're out! Microsoft might be abandoning Surface
Subject: General Tech | October 9, 2014 - 01:31 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: microsoft, surface, fail
It seems that Microsoft might be catching on to something everyone else in the market knew when they first announced their first foray into hardware since the Zune; software companies shouldn't annoy their customer by competing with them. Ballmer originally tried to assuage companies like Acer by claiming that Surface was just a proof of concept, which was met by disbelief and after 3 iterations of Surface those doubts were proven to be justified. According to Microsoft the Surface 3 is a big hit overseas but as this is their first crack at those markets you can bet that the sales will follow the same precipitous drop we saw for the first Surface in North America.
The news from DigiTimes today is that Surface 3 will be the last generation of this hybrid tablet. It could be that Microsoft will now focus on their phones, much to the dismay of those who have used their phones though perhaps the remaining human assets from Nokia will bring forth a new generation of workable devices.
"Microsoft continues to see weak sales for its Surface Pro 3 tablet and is reportedly planning to cancel the product line since shipment performance has been far lower than expectations, according to sources from the upstream supply chain."

Tesoro Kuven.pro; mythical helmet or 5.1 surround headset?
Subject: General Tech | October 8, 2014 - 04:29 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: audio, Tesoro, Kuven.pro, gaming headset
The Tesoro Kuven.pro 5.1 gaming headset uses multiple speakers in the earcups to provide 5.1 sound as opposed to emulating it via software. While this does have the advantage of bypassing the occasional issues caused with software emulation, placing speakers so close together inevitably causes its own confusion, though not enough to put Legit Reviews off of them. The controller that comes with the headset allows you to adjust the master volume as well as the volume of each channel separately and mute the microphone but does not function as an equalizer. Overall Legit Reviews described the sound as flat, a negative listening to music but an advantage when gaming, which is what this headset is for. The earcups are also rather comfortable, making this a good choice for the gamer who spends long nights gaming and needs to ensure they don't bother the neighbours.
"Today we're looking at a true 5.1 gaming headset from the likes of Tesoro Technology, an up and coming gaming peripheral company based in Northern California that's been around since 2011 and not to be confused with the petroleum refining company Tesoro Corporation. The headset is officially called the Kυνέη.pro, in the Greek spelling of the mythological Helm of Darkness owned by Hades, the Greek god of the underworld. However, Tesoro also spells the product name as Kuven.pro."

What are the folks who didn't make the cut at Irrational Games doing now?
Subject: General Tech | October 8, 2014 - 01:14 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Day For Night Games, The Black Glove, irrational, gaming
Watch the Kickstarter video from Day For Night Games and you will see a lot of Bioshock DNA in The Blck Glove, but not a lot of bloodshed. Instead of hordes of Splicers to take down in a variety of ways there are three artists whose creations you can improve by changing their past Muse, Medium or Message and instead of Big Daddy there is a ... Space Minotaur? You take the role of curator for The Equinox, a rather surreal 1920's theatre with three exhibits, the artist Marisol, the filmmaker Avery Arnault, and musical act Many Embers. By overcoming the Space Minotaur in a variety of minigames you can change the past of these three artists to completely change and hopefully improve their creations in the games present. The focus will be on the amount of times you can replay the game as each of the three categories will have three sub-categories which leads to many possible outcomes for the three artists creations. Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN offers their thoughts on this project here.
This may not end up being as much of a hit as Bioshock multiplayer did with the Fragging Frogs but there will likely be a few members who do end up picking it up. In the meantime BF4, ARMA2 and 3, UT2K4 and a wide variety of other games remain popular and more importantly, populated with players. Check out what they will be up to tonight!
"The Black Glove is a new project from a selection of the developers who worked on Bioshock, from the first game right up until Burial at Sea and the winding down of Irrational. It has instantly become one of the games I'm most looking forward to seeing more of, although that's partly because there's not quite enough on show right now."

AMD will be cracking the Linux Catalyst wide open over the next year
Subject: General Tech | October 8, 2014 - 12:28 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, linux, unified driver, pirate islands
AMD had some news at the 2014 X.Org Developer's Conference that concerns their strategy when it comes to providing open source drivers for Linux. To start off with the bad news, the new unified driver was prototyped on a not yet released Linux kernel and Sea Islands GPUs and will only work on the next generation of graphics cards, the Pirate Islands. That is not a terrible thing as backwards compatibility can be a Kong sized monkey on the back of a driver and a fresh start allows the incorporation of features that might be skipped if legacy support is a main focus. Only a small portion of the driver blob will be proprietary, the majority will be based on Catalyst but will be fully open source and editable. This means users of the X.Org Server or even just those playing with new versions of the Linux kernel will no longer have to wait for a new Catalyst to be released nor will those playing with OpenGL. Dive in deeper at Phoronix.
"Alex Deucher of AMD has taken the floor at XDC2014, which got underway today in France to provide an update on the company's new unified open-source driver strategy. Compared to what I originally reported earlier in the year when breaking the news, there's some notable changes but overall this is an exciting endeavor for AMD Linux customers with the open and closed source AMD GPU drivers going to share the same (open-source) Linux kernel driver."

AMD's mobile APU update, Carrizo-L for Christmas, full Carrizo for the new year
Subject: General Tech | October 7, 2014 - 12:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: mobile apu, Excavator, Carrizo-L, carrizo, amd, 28nm
Kaveri, Beema and Mullins are on their way out to be replaced by the Excavator based Carrizo family towards the end of the year. We can hope they will appear in products in time for Christmas as the low power Carrizo-L, rumoured to be around 12-35W TDP, will arrive. In the new year the more powerful Carrizo, speculated at 45-65W TDP, will be available. It is unclear how long the delay will be between availability to system builders and the products appearing on the market. The chips will support DDR3, contain a GPU based on GCN 3.0 and stacked on-package memory which will be accessible by Through Silicon Via to act as a sort of L3 cache for HSA applications. DigiTimes also mentions it will run Win8 and Win10 as well as SLED.
"AMD is planning to announce next-generation Carrizo APUs in March 2015 to replace its existing Kaveri APUs for the mainstream performance notebook segment and will release Carrizo-L APUs for the entry-level notebook segment in December 2014 at the earliest to challenge Intel's Pentium and Celeron processors, according to sources from notebook players."

Hewlett-Packard (HP) Splits Into Two Companies
Subject: General Tech, Systems | October 6, 2014 - 07:27 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: restructure, layoffs, hp inc, hp, hewlett-packard enterprise
HP's restructure initiative has been ongoing for years, leading to tens of thousands of layoffs. This occurred in several phases, with low-margin businesses grouped alongside highly profitable ones. Originally, HP considered spinning off PC devices but later paired it with its highly profitable printing products.
Today, HP announced plans to split into two companies: HP Inc., the aforementioned PC and printing division, and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, which will handle servers, networking, and other infrastructure as well as enterprise software and services. Shareholders will receive stock in both companies in an "intended to be tax-free" transaction. Obviously, that may vary by jurisdiction.
The reasons are fairly straight-forward. Print and PC are not heavily growing markets, especially not compared to their enterprise division. These two companies are roughly equal in size, so separating them highlights each side's strengths and weaknesses, and allows new investors to bet on one without giving money to the other. While Hewlett-Packard Enterprise is expected to be the higher-growth company, HP Inc. is expected to get into 3D printing as a consumer service. It will also inherit the logo, likely because it is something that consumers still identify with.
Current CEO, Meg Whitman, will be CEO of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and Chair of HP Inc.
The "transaction" for shareholders is expected by the end of FY15. It will also align with the loss of 5000 jobs, resulting in 55,000 layoffs since Whitman joined the company. I have yet to hear anything about where these cuts will occur.
ARM and TSMC are headed for 10nm
Subject: General Tech | October 6, 2014 - 12:30 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: arm, TSMC, 10nm, FinFET, armv8-a
ARM and TSMC are moving ahead at an impressive pace, now predicting 10nm FinFET designs taping out possibly in the fourth quarter of 2015. That could even be possible considering how quickly they incorporated FinFET to move from 20nm SoC to 16nm. The the ARMv8-A processor architecture will have a few less transistors than a high end CPU which does help their process adoption move more quickly than AMD or Intel but with AMD partnering up with ARM there is the possibility of seeing this new ARM architecture in AMD chips in the not too distant future. As DigiTimes points out, there are many benefits that have come from this partnership between ARM and TSMC.
"ARM and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) have announced a new multi-year agreement that will deliver ARMv8-A processor IP optimized for TSMC 10nm FinFET process technology. Because of the success in scaling from 20nm SoC to 16nm FinFET, ARM and TSMC have decided to collaborate again for 10FinFET."

Mozilla Approves Plans for 64-Bit Firefox on Windows
Subject: General Tech | October 6, 2014 - 03:45 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: windows, mozilla, firefox, 64-bit
If you had a reason, Mozilla has been compiling Firefox Nightly as a 64-bit application for Windows over the last several months. It is not a build that is designed for the general public; in fact, I believe it is basically only available to make sure that they did not horribly break anything during some arbitrary commit. That might change relatively soon, though.
According to Mozilla's "internal", albeit completely public wiki, the non-profit organization is currently planning to release an official, 64-bit version of Firefox 37. Of course, all targets in Firefox are flexible and, ultimately, it is only done when it is done. If everything goes to schedule, that should be March 31st.
The main advantage is for high-performance applications (although there are some arguments for security, too). One example is if you open numerous tabs, to get Firefox's memory usage up, then attempt to load a Web applications like BananaBread. Last I tried, it will simply not load (unless you clean up memory usage somehow, like restarting the browser). It will run out of memory and just give up. You can see how this would be difficult for higher-end games, video editing utilities, and so forth. This will not be the case when 64-bit comes around.
If you are looking to develop a web app, be sure to check out the 64-bit Firefox Nightly builds. Unless plans change, it looks like you will have even more customers soon. This is unless, of course, you are targeting Mac OSX and Linux, which already have 64-bit binaries available. Also, why are you targeting specific operating systems with a website?
New Amazon Kindle Fire HDX Features Cameras and Optional Keyboard
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | October 4, 2014 - 11:43 PM | Tim Verry
Amazon launched a bevy of new tablets and eReaders late last month. An updated Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 will be available October 21st and replaces last year's model as the flagship Kindle tablet.
Measuring 8.9" and weighing 13.2 ounces (13.7oz for the 4G model), the upcoming HDX 8.9" tablet retains the same form factor as its predecessor. The mobile device does pack in internal hardware improvements, updated software features, and an optional bluetooth Fire Keyboard accessory. The tablet features an 8.9" 2560x1600 (339 PPI) display, Dobly Atmos audio, an 8MP rear camera, and a 720p front-facing webcam. Amazon is using what it calls "Dynamic Light Control" which alters the display's color temperature to match ambient light along with a dynamic backlighting.
With that said, the major changes between the previous model and the new Fire HDX 8.9 lie in updated internal hardware and Amazon's latest operating system and UI features. Specifically, Amazon has upgraded to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC and a faster (802.11ac) Wi-Fi radio. Last year's tablet used the Snapdragon 800 clocked at 2.2GHz with an Adreno 330 GPU. The new HDX 8.9's Snapdragon 805 is clocked at 2.5GHz and features an Adreno 420 GPU. Both tablets feature 2GB RAM and 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB internal storage options. Amazon claims up to 12 hours of battery life when reading, browsing the web, and watching videos.
The new tablet with ship with Amazon's latest Fire OS operating system known as Fire OS 4.0 "Sangria." Sangria is a custom fork of Android 4.4 KitKat that features Amazon's custom user interface in addition to ASAP predictive pre-loading, Smart Suspend technology, Family Library media sharing, device profiles, and Mayday help/support.
The Fire Keyboard is a 7oz, 4.8mm thin Bluetooth keyboard that can attach magnetically to the optional Origami tablet case. The keyboard features 74 keys (including shortcut and search keys), a small trackpad, Bluetooth 3.0, and a lithium ion battery that has a claimed battery life of two months of active usage. It has an MSRP of $59.99 and will begin shipping October 21.The Origami case is another optional accessory that can hold and protect both the keyboard and tablet. It will be available in black, blue, and red leather for $69.99 from Amazon.
The new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is up for pre-order now but will officially be available on October 21st. Pricing and SKU data is listed in the table below. Needless to say, this is an overall minor upgrade over last year's model and it is not something existing HDX 8.9" users are likely excited about. However, on its own, the new model has decent specifications and if you are looking into a new Kindle Fire tablet, it is worth considering, especially if you plan to take advantage of the faster processor for activities such as gaming in addition to reading books and watching movies.

Cherry Trail, Nolan and Amur coming soon

Tagged: amd, Intel, Cherry Trail, Nolan, Amur
As usual neither AMD nor Intel had any comments to pass onto DigiTimes about processors they have yet to release but the chances are that this story is fairly accurate. In March we should start hearing more about Cherry Trail, Intel's 64-bit ultramobile CPU designed for the next generation of tablets. AMD will be working on two chips, Nolan which we know very little about apart from the fact that it will be used in tablets and a new chip called Amur. Amur is an HSA chip designed specifically for use in devices running Android and Linux and incorporates ARM architecture, specifically the Cortex A57. That puts it in the Seattle family which Josh went into detail about in his article here which will make it a rather interesting product.
"Intel's Cherry Trail CPUs will enter mass production in March 2015. Intel is also preparing the Atom Z3000 processor for the 64-bit tablet market. As for 4G chips, Intel is set to use SoFIA-series processors for the tablet market, the sources said."

"The Fourth Annual Saxxy Awards" Are Awarded
Subject: General Tech | October 3, 2014 - 02:11 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: valve, source engine, contest, awards
Once each year, Valve hosts a competition, called The Saxxy Awards, to find the best Team Fortress 2 animation. It is named after Saxton Hale, a character from the game's irrelevant (but amazingly well developed) lore that is best known for being an eccentric action hero and executive of a fictional corporation. Its goal is to promote the use of Source Filmmaker and the rest of Valve's user-generated content tools.
This year's overall winner as Animation vs Animator, embed below, where The Scout makes a movie where he torments The Heavy (who responds in kind). The video is likely a reference to the oppositely-named classic series of Flash animations where a stick figure in Flash Professional fights against its creator. Four videos were nominated in each of the four categories, short, action, comedy, and drama, each with its own winner.
Be sure to check them out if you want something to watch for a few minutes, or sixteen somethings.

Curious about that square phone from the other fruity company?
Subject: General Tech | October 2, 2014 - 01:10 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: blackberry, passport, snapdragon 801
Inside the new Blackberry Passport is a quad-core 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801, 3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, NFC, microUSB port and the impressive 4.5" 1440 x 1440 IPS touchscreen. This phone is squarely aimed at the business user who does not consider the lack of apps and comparably poor video and gaming performance to be a negative and is far more interested in being able to read a document without scrolling. Apart from the form factor the interface will be familiar to BB users, the Blackberry 10.3 OS has been available to users for a while now but the battery life will impress you as The Inquirer reports using the Passport for 2 days straight without charging, something the Z10 and Q10 are not capable of. Read more here or scroll down to see what else is up in the mobile world.
"THE BLACKBERRY PASSPORT is the Canadian phonemaker's comeback smartphone, and the firm is hoping the handset's "innovative" design will convince corporate buyers to ditch their Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy handsets."

ARM's Mbed OS and Device Server
Subject: General Tech | October 2, 2014 - 12:37 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Mbed OS, arm, iot, cortex-m, Mbed Device Server
ARM is serious about staking their turf in the Internet of Things, there will soon be an Mbed OS custom built for their Cortex-M lineup of processors which will pair with an Mbed Device Server to manage clients and process data. The main focus is on low power communications technology as one would expect, with support for Bluetooth Smart, 2G, 3G, LTE and CDMA cellular technologies, Thread, WiFi, and 802.15.4/6LoWPAN along with TLS/DTLS, CoAP, HTTP, MQTT and Lightweight M2M. The project is not new either, according to what ARM told The Inquirer the Mbed community already has over 70,000 developers actively participating or designing products on this platform and there is a long list of partners for Mbed listed in that article. The real focus in many minds is not so much on the current adoption of the Mbed OS, but in how much time will be spent on their second claim, security. There is a lot of doomsday scenarios being tossed around as the IoT starts to come of age, many are farcically incorrect but there are very real concerns as well.
"Called the Mbed IoT Device Platform, the software is primarily an operating system (OS) built around open standards that claims to "bring Internet protocols, security and standards-based manageability into one integrated tool" in order to save money and energy in making IoT devices."

Adobe Virtualizes Photoshop to the Creative Cloud
Subject: General Tech | October 1, 2014 - 08:07 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Adobe, photoshop, cloud
The Creative Cloud subscription service from Adobe allows users to pay a monthly fee to have access to one or every available product. This ranges from Photoshop, to Illustrator, to After Effects, to Audition, to Dreamweaver. This one subscription follows you, via your Adobe account, through every platform... that they support. Currently, that's Mac and Windows.
To expand that, they are now experimenting with a streaming service, bringing Photoshop to Chrome.
How it works is simple: send Currently, it is limited to Google Chrome on Windows and ChromeOS. Also, the servers do not currently support GPU-acceleration, but Adobe has already announced plans for that in the future. I assume that when this is a consumer product, or shortly thereafter, it will be a fully-featured application. Who knows, maybe they will even bring the rest of their products there? "Streaming access to Photoshop with other products coming soon" ...
People may remember that I was very much against services like OnLive and Gaikai. These do the same thing as Adobe, but for video games. Being an outspoken (to the say least) supporter of art, I found this to be an unacceptable sacrifice for intrinsically valuable content. It is a terrible idea to allow a service to pull your content and replace it, especially for scholarly review in the future.
This is different. While I would always prefer a local application, and would be upset if they stopped offering those, I do not mind having a utility be served from a virtualized instance. If I was working on serious, trade-secret-level content, then I would want to avoid it. On the other hand, getting it to work in one web browser might encourage them to bring the service to all browsers.
From there, Linux and other platforms might just have a valid way to access Adobe's Suite.

Andrew Rafner is a recently liberated fan and writer from Los Angeles. He owns two Sasha Vujacic jerseys and isn't sorry about it.
You know the girls in those cloyingly sensitive, quirky indie-leaning rom-coms? The ones whose quotes of Belle & Sebastian lyrics (mostly from "Tigermilk") and floral tattoos and hand-knitted mix CDs and perfectly blunt bangs usually belie some kind of deep-seated childhood trauma that forces them to act like a hyperactive seventh grader-slash-human Care Bear? The ones who have inspired lengthy Onion AV Club articles and parody videos?
The ones that seem to unexpectedly fall from the sky in a poorly executed meet-cute 15 minutes into the movie and swoop the beleaguered and downtrodden cardigan wearing 20-something from his bleak and stark existence and thrust him into a world full of urban scavenger hunts and vintage sundresses and undiagnosed borderline personality disorders? Yeah. Them. They're called Manic Pixie Dream Girls and while I like to think they are the scourges of the cinematic earth, it is hard to not admit that they have become quite the powerful stock character in Hollywood over the last decade or so.
A similar thing has happened in the NBA, except the rise of the Pixie Point Guard has been met with hordes of fans of the game buckling at the knees and feeling giddy for their devotion to the idea that the only rule for them is that there are no rules. And unlike the Manic Pixie Dream Girl, who's ultimate goal is to possess and consume the soul of the boy they force to fall in love with them via their sticker collection, the Pixie Point Guard represents the best thing in the world being even better than it seems.
You could say we're in the middle of a positional revolution in the NBA. Many have. The Miami Heat won a championship last year with Chris Bosh as their starting center. Not to mention the team that they beat, the Oklahoma City Thunder, played Kevin Durant at power forward quite a bit during the series. Now, don't get me wrong, KD is my favorite player in the NBA, but he's got the muscle tone and definition of a streetlamp. Tough, but fair.
This crazy positional Dadaism is running rampant all over the league. J.J. Hickson is slotted to be the starting center in Portland, Pacers forward/guard/center/human person Paul George grows and shrinks between four and six inches at will, and I have long contended that the center position itself is a dying commodity in the NBA. I mean, how many true top tier fives are there in this league? Three? Maybe four?
But the long, ghastly death rattle of the 21st century center aside, the most lovable and delightful creatures to rise from the seismic ripping apart of the fabric of NBA positional acceptability is the Pixie Point Guard. Even if you don't know what I am talking about, you know what I'm talking about: sprightly, kind of woodland elfish and dizzyingly quick. The guys who don't just control the ball and passively run an offense, like your Mario Chalmerses and Raymond Feltons, but dissect defenses with precision passing and often times head-exploding and 30-second-replay-inducing dribble moves. And most importantly — joy. Pixie Point Guards play with pure joy.
Remember Linsanity? Yeah. That's the pixie shit. It's the thing that made you simultaneously throw up and pee your pants when Jason Williams passed off his elbow in the 2000 Rookie/Sophomore Game. It's what made Showtime even a thing — although let's be honest, there is nothing pixie about Magic Johnson's physique. It's what made the Seven Seconds of Less Suns a joy to watch in the mid-00s. Steve Nash, as we can all agree, is the prime modern example of a pixie, and that's not just because he's got the bone structure of a character from Fern Gully. It's because he plays with lightness and ethereal beauty. It's a look the Lakers haven't really had since Nick Van Exel was pixie dusting his way all over the Forum in 1997.
Pixie Point Guarding is what makes a team go from kinda-sorta-maybe-not even that good to exhilarating. It's what makes you watch a Timberwolves/Cavs game on League Pass on a Thursday night when Spurs/ Mavs is on TNT. It's what will keep you from watching that same Wolves/Cavs game until Ricky Rubio comes back from his knee injury, a knee injury that threatens to rob him of his innate pixieness, which I pray doesn't happen.
Pixies aren't snarly and mean like, say, Russell Westbrook, who plays the same position with the slobber and pressure of a pit bull on a short chain in an unlandscaped backyard in Riverside. They don't play with the slow-down, professorial style of Andre Miller, who chooses to take every possession and examine it like a complex equation and then test his theories, usually taking 20 seconds to do so before executing. Pixie Point Guards use instinct and blind trust.
It's the quality that sends Kyrie Irving and Brandon Jennings twirling and spinning into the lane only to hope there is a halfway decent shot available once they get there, and if there isn't, so what? They're fucking pixies and they don't give a shit. They'll figure it out. It's what makes you love Derrick Rose and hate Deron Williams. It's what makes Bob Cousy and Pete Maravich, the patron saint of the Pixie Point Guards, such canonical figures. It's what is going to make Damian Lillard the next Gary Payton and what kept Jonny Flynn Jonny Flynn. It's that Pixie dust. (I'd like to give some sort of mention to Rajon Rondo here, but he's just kind of a jerk.)
Pixies play with the kind of disregard for set plays that was born out of the playground, but with the presence of mind to know not to set fire to the notion that they have four other teammates out there. They're smarter than that. Look at Chris Paul, a Pixie if there ever was one, but with the calm-headedness and wisdom of a lion tamer that knows the difference between control and respect. Sure, he knows he could have his face ripped off at any moment, but he has enough belief in his methods to expect his will to be carried out by those around him. That is the Pixie Point Guard magic trick — to fully realize your power, to understand that your shortcomings are often your largest assets, and to have others fear and respect it.
Pixie Point Guards are the lifeblood of fun and frenetic basketball. I love them, and soon they will come to destroy their methodical forebearers who have owned the position with so much less bliss and ecstasy. So when the positional revolution ends and the basketball landscapes have been ripped apart and the boundaries are redrawn, the only ones that will be left will be the Pixies. Why? Because they won't be tamed. They won't stop. They can't be stopped. They're protected by the pixie magic.
But the Manic Pixie Dream Girls? Yeah, they need to be stopped or else we're all doomed.

Viva Tequila!
Move over Margarita. Mexico's native agave spirit is starring in an array of classic and contemporary cocktails. Here are 10 of our favorites.
And to All a Good Night
This warming cocktail makes a great digestif. To balance the spiciness, try using a sweeter bourbon, such as Maker's Mark.
Café de la Mañana
Tequila-spiked coffee? You betcha! This coffee cocktail from The Saint Social Club in Seattle, is perfect for livening up an ordinary cup of joe.
Corzo Holly
Reposado tequila blends beautifully with fresh strawberries, lime, basil and balsamic vinegar in this springtime sipper.
El Diablo
This classic is an exercise in delicious simplicity.
The deep fruitiness of a reposado tequila meets the richness of an elegant pear liqueur, with the delicate flavor of manzanilla tying the ingredients together.
If you're looking for something that's a little different than a Margarita but just as refreshing, this Mexican cooler has you covered.
This slightly bitter cocktail shows how complex a cocktail can be, even when it's made with fairly basic ingredients.
Spicy Watermelon Margarita
With the crisp sweetness of watermelon and the spicy kick of serrano chile, this is a delicious way to dress up a classic Margarita recipe for summertime.
Tabard Cocktail
This sophisticated sipper is aptly named after the classic D.C. hotel that has the drink on its bar menu.
Tijuana Trick
Sunny Los Angeles gets some south-of-the-border inspiration in this bright and citrusy reposado cocktail.

RGraph and canvas news blog
The RGraph blog contains information about canvas, RGraph and demonstrates things that can be done with canvas.
- An interactive example of the arcTo function
The canvas tags arcTo function is mysterious little function. The fact that it wasn't always implemented correctly didn't help but it is now and this interactive demo will help you to understand this function. - An example of Path2D objects
An updated article about the Path2D object is now available. It goes through the new Path2D object, its API and has usage examples. The Path2D object is currently (March 2014) only available in the canary build of Google Chrome. - New text metrics for canvas available in Google Chrome
A new article is now available that looks at the new text metrics that have been added to Google Chrome. These metrics enable you to get more information about the dimensions of the text and most importantly they allow you to construct a bounding box. Keep in mind though that these metrics are new and may bite! - How to get a responsive canvas tag
A new article is now available that shows you two ways that you can make you canvas tag "responsive". Out-of-the-box the canvas tag isn't particularly responsive - but with some JavaScript you can change that. You can also use CSS which is far less involved but the results aren't quite as good. - An example of using DIV tags for hit testing
As mentioned in the article that details the forth-coming hit regions addition to HTML5 canvas one option that you have for hit testing is placing DIV tags over the canvas and adding the event listeners to them. In a limited set of circumstances where the end user environment can be controlled it can save a lot of time and prevent you having to add hit testing code to your application. This article shows you an example of it. - An example of the toDataURL function
A new example of the HTML5 canvas toDataURL() function is available. This function allows you to get a base64 encoded PNG representation of the canvas. You can use this function to save a bitmap copy of the canvas. - An example of using images with canvas
A new example of HTML5 canvas images is available. It shows you how to use the function, one of the major pitfalls and a few examples of it being used. - Drag and drop example updated
The example of drag and drop has been updated to use "click to pick up, click to put down". This makes the whole process less error prone and avoids any selection peculiarities. - An example of linear and radial gradients
A new article is available which details HTML5 canvas gradients - both linear and radial. - An example of getting the mouse coordinates
A new article is available which shows you how you can use the RGraph.getMouseXY function to get the mouse coordinates. Whilst doing this can be as simple as using the .offsetX/Y properties - that way isn't portable or cross-browser compatible and nor does it take into account things like CSS borders or padding. The RGraph.getMouseXY function does all this for you. - An example of canvas text functionality
A new article is available which details the text functionality that is available with HTML5 canvas. It also shows an example of using the RGraph.Text2() function which provides extra functionality such as horizontal and vertical alignment, bounding boxes and carriage returns. - An example of animation
A guide showing how you can perform animation with HTML5 canvas. This page shows a ball randomly bouncing around the canvas. - The Canvas tag: An explanation of how you can clear it
A guide explaining the different methods that you can clear your canvas. For example clearRect, setting the canvas dimensions, composite operations - they all have their own advantages and disadvantages and this article explains them to you. - An example of canvas shadows
This article is about shadows in HTML5 canvas. Shadows are simple things and can give your shapes a 3D appearance. - An example of the clearRect function
This article is about the clearRect function. The function can clear your canvas so that it's transparent again - not white. - An example of canvas paths
A new blog article is now available that details HTML5 canvas paths and the functions that available to use in building them. It describes all of the path functions that are available to you and has an example of them in use. It also shows you how you can use the isPointInPath function for click detection. - An example of using the canvas clip function to create a sliding reveal effect
A new blog article is now available that shows how you can use the HTML5 canvas clip function to create a sliding reveal effect. The effect is a simple horizontal reveal but more involved paths could be used instead of the rect() function if required (eg you could use the arc() function to create a circular reveal). - An example of the rotate function - as well as the RGraph.RotateCanvas() function
This is a demo of the rotate canvas function - which rotates the canvas as well as the RGraph.RotateCanvas() API function which in some cases can be easier to use. - An example of the transform and setTransform functions
This is a look at the setTransform() and transform() functions of HTML5 canvas. Transformations can allow you to perform actions on the canvas - sometimes significantly altering how it appears. - An example of the isPointInPath function
A new article is available that demonstrates the isPointInPath function - which can be used for hit testing to see if the mouse cursor or a click is over a particular shape. As a result your hit testing code can be reduced and greatly simplified. - An example of the quadraticCurveTo() function
As it's less of an RGraph HOWTO guide and more a general information post the quadraticCurveTo() function guide has been converted from a HOWTO guide to a blog post. It's been embellished a little and colors have been added to help you identify the points - An example of the bezierCurveTo() function
As it's less of an RGraph HOWTO guide and more a general information post the bezierCurveTo() function guide has been converted from a HOWTO guide to a blog post. It's been embellished a little and colors have been added to help you identify the points. - An example of the clip() function
As it's less of an RGraph HOWTO guide and more a general information post the clip() HOWTO guide has been moved to a blog post. - What is the difference between the rect, strokeRect and fillRect functions?
A new article is available that explains the difference between the strokeRect, fillRect and rect() functions. - An example of hit regions
A new article is available that explains the new HTML5 canvas hit regions - a forthcoming addition to the canvas specification that make adding "hotspots" to your canvas easy and handling subsequent events. - An example of the canvas ellipse function
A new article is available that shows the ellipse() function that is new in the canvas spec. Currenty no browsers support this function, but the page does demonstrate a method for drawing ellipses using the bezierCurveTo() function. - An example of drag and drop between canvas tags
This is an example of how you can achieve drag and drop between canvas tags. It shows drag and drop for an image - and when moving from canvas to canvas it just updates the relevant canvas that the canvas should be drawn on. - Measuring the text height
A new demonstration of a function that can measure text dimensions (width AND height). It works by adding a DIV to the document and then measuring it. The function comes from the RGraph core common file but can now be used standalone. - An example of canvas dotted and dashed lines
A new article is available that shows the new setLineDash() function that has been added to canvas. Only Chrome currently supports this so to to see it you'll need to use that browser. This function allows you specify the dash settings. - How to add magnification to your charts
A new blog article showing you how you can add a magnifying glass effect to your canvas (the effect will work with any canvas - not just RGraph charts). The article uses the canvas transformation methods - scale(), translate() and clip(). - New canvas features
This is an preview of new HTML5 canvas features that have been added to the HTML5 specification. Things like path objects, hit regions and other enhancements that will server to make canvas much easier to use.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Ordered a sample in the yellow. Paper quality is great. Paper is a little crinkly (ordered the basic paper) which I like. Paper stands up well. Love the colors. The website mock up is pretty darn close to the actual colors which is great!!"
"These are great little place cards - perfect size and the designer was great. I'm looking forward to adding everyone's names!"
"We wanted place cards to go with our invitations, but there weren't any that matched. We used the Ombre Forest invites and requested that the designers make these place cards match in color and font. The results were great! We also changed the bottom to "Eat and laugh at table __". Everything turned out perfectly!"
"These place cards are PERFECT and 100% what I was looking for! They look amazing in person and I was able to pick three colors of the star fish for our three different dinner options. The best part was the customer service that I received when ordering. The process was easy and stress-free. THANK YOU!"
"I requested the table line to be omitted as we only had one table, and it was done immediately. They also caught that I hadn't selected the pearl shimmer paper to match our menus. Great customer service!!"

Obviously, these spider mites have no idea they are starting to mess with a Marine. Failure is not an option at this point, and I will be victorious. I spent the day pruning and drowning the little SOBs. And the attacks will be relentless until victory is achieved. I tried to move the 'friendly' insects, but collateral damage is acceptable. Mark my words mites, your days are numbered.
Sorry, I needed to vent. Ed |

Heh, sorry you're having problems Ed. I felt the same way until I started to use the systemic spray. I was afraid the spray would detract from attracting butterflies but from what I've seen that only last a day or two after the plants are sprayed. Being that the plants are indoors now, I'm thinking your wife wouldn't have a problem with collateral damage ;-) Good luck with your battle! Darren |
Yes - good luck with your battle! If you think YOU have mite problems, you should live in Florida - battling mites is a way of life for us!!! LOL |
Operation Crystal Water was a success. The enemy has been neutralized and there is not a yellow leaf in site. Collateral damage was minimized by a simple temporary relocation. Friendly casualties - 0% Civilian casualties - 0% to unknown Enemy combatants - at least 90% or more. Note to self, although the method was tedious, the enemy was eliminated with little environmental impact. Will recommend to others. Again venting (or gloating). Ed |

The Goblin Gate
Ages 10 & up
Searching for the key to rescue his brother, Tobin, from certain death in the Otherworld, Jeriah is thrust into a tangled web of political intrigue when he uncovers a dangerous secret—one that could change the fate of an entire kingdom. As the bonds of magic, love and loyalty are tested for this would-be hero, he must put his pride aside and seek help from the very beings he's been taught to hate—the mischievous goblins.

« September 2011 Table of Contents
The recommendation given to student journalists trying to determine the credibility of information has always been "consider the source." While professional reporters live by this credo every day, the saying is not typically heeded by consumers, especially when confronted with a negative story about seafood.
In many cases, the voice that screams the loudest is the only one heard, and eventually the consumer forgets what the original source was. A good example of this has been seen following announcements made about aquaculture developments in the United States, a story examined in this issue's Top Story, Farm Futures (this issue), written by Associate Editor James Wright. One anti-aquaculture source, Food & Water Watch (FWW), describes open-ocean aquaculture as "industrialized." This terminology is used to make consumers believe that fish farms are akin to large land-based poultry, hog or beef operations that have provided startling revelations including inhumane living conditions.
But for anyone who has been to a U.S. fish farm, either on land or at sea, "industrialized" is the last word one would use. The only industrial-type element would be the steel used to create the tanks or pen frames. Most farms are not far beyond the experimental phase, like research labs that are constantly tested and monitored by local, state and federal regulators.
This tactic of painting fish farms with a broad brushstroke of "industrialism" has left many consumers with the misperception that aquaculture will destroy our oceans, similar to how large corporate animal farms have sullied once-fertile farm lands. That message has been carefully placed by FWW and then repeated over and over again by celebrity chefs, many who have not even visited a fish farm to do their own research.
Is FWW trying to create a world of vegan consumers? Quite possibly. It's up to you, the educated seafood buyer, to consider the source and stay educated on aquaculture.

Canker Sores
Patience is Best Treatment Option for Canker Sores
Canker sores, also known as the medical condition aphthous stomatitis, are painful open lesions that appear anywhere on the mouth or gums. A canker sore begins as a tingling or burning sensation that progresses to a red spot or bump. It then becomes a white or yellow circle with an inflamed border.
The exact cause of canker sores isn't known, but the most common trigger seems to be trauma to the mouth–such as overaggressive brushing, accidentally biting, cuts incurred by sharp foods (such as potato chips) or by dental braces. And the following may also contribute to their appearance:
- Citrus fruits
- Physical trauma
- Stress
- Insomnia
- Food allergies
- Eating disorders
- Immune system reactions
- Vitamin deficiencies
If you're suffering from a canker sore, we suggest rinsing with salt water or an alcohol-free mouthwash. You can also take an over-the-counter pain medication. We also recommend you make an appointment with us, so we can examine the lesions and offer you different treatment options.
