If the Coffman Labs G1-A stereo preamplifier sounds like it was designed by a physicist who also plays violin, well, it was!
Why don't consumers use home displays like TVs, PCs, and tablets more often to follow information such as weather, sports and social-media updates? The NPD Group's Ross Rubin has some theories.
Feast your eyes on what might have been in Google's 2006 prototype for Android phones.
It's hard to stand out in the compact-camera crowd, so manufacturers are trying bolder ideas like GPS, high-speed video, and high-end sensors.
It's all a matter of your frame of reference. The Panasonic G1 sensor quality is good, compared to more compact cameras, but not as good as that of bulkier SLRs.
Adobe's software now can process raw images from Canon's new full-frame SLR. For everyone else, gets support for camera profiles that improve colors.

The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
Combined with her winged-out liner, Howard's matte red lip appears to be a nod to Old Hollywood glamor at first glance, but the subtle orange undertones give the hue a modern-day update. "The look we were going for was young and professional, but with an edge," said her makeup artist Gita Bass. Sounds perfect for party season! Bass blended a custom hue for the star, mixing the NYX Matte Lipstick in Indie Flick with Pure Red ($6 each; nyxcosmetics.com).Read MoreLess

At around 11 this morning, Shreveport Police received a tip from Crimestoppers about a robbery in progress in the 1500 block of Clover.
When police arrived, the suspects ran into the attic, but according to the owner of the home, there was no where to escape. There were numerous holes in the drywall on the ceiling.
Police were able to arrest all three suspects in the attempted robbery. The owner of the home is also very grateful to Crimestoppers; he knows the robbery could have been much worse without the tip.
Police remind people that Crimestoppers is absolutely anonymous and hope that more people will call so that they can solve more crime.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I tried to get into McBrides tonight to buy an M4 or fully auto AK-47 before
the Dems change the laws, and the line was out the door. While in line,
there were two FBI agents ahead of me who said, they were fearful the Dems
would take their guns so they were buying firepower just in case.
Perhaps we can market a Stratfor secret agent pistol? I would bet that we
would sell 10,000.

from The Wall Street Journal
Nov. 10, 2008
The Federal Reserve said Monday it will allow American Express to become a
bank-holding company, saying "unusual and exigent circumstances affecting
financial markets" justified a fast approval of the company's application.
The surprise move would give American Express access to new low-cost
financing from the Federal Reserve.
The Fed's approval was similar to the decision it made in September to
transform the country's two biggest investment banks, Goldman Sachs and
Morgan Stanley, into bank holding companies.

Monday, July 21 09:06:56
Most Asian stock markets edged higher on Monday as investors set aside geopolitical concerns for the moment to focus on the generally upbeat flow of U.S. corporate earnings ahead of a host of results due this week.
Volumes were very light as Japanese markets took a holiday. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.3 percent, with modest increases for most markets across Asia.
Spread betters predicted opening gains of 0.1 to 0.2 percent for the FTSE 100, DAX and CAC 40.
A crowd of U.S. companies report this week, ranging from Apple Inc to McDonald's Corp, Coca-Cola Co and Caterpillar Inc.
Thomson Reuters data showed that of 82 companies in the S&P 500 that had reported earnings through Friday morning, 68 percent beat Wall Street's expectations. That was roughly in line with the 67 percent rate for the past four quarters and above the 63 percent rate since 1994.
The Dow ended Friday up 0.7 percent, while the S&P 500 gained 1 percent and the Nasdaq 1.6 percent. For the week, the Dow rose 0.9 percent, S&P 500 gained 0.5 percent and the Nasdaq added 0.4 percent.
Geopolitical concerns kept U.S. Treasuries and German debt well underpinned. U.S. 10-year yields were steady at 2.48 percent on Monday, while German bunds were yielding just 1.16 percent having neared all-time lows.
After an initial bout of risk aversion, major currencies have settled into an eerie clam. The dollar index was steady at 80.513, having retreated from a one-month peak last Friday when the euro bounced off a five-month trough of $1.3491.
Traders said buying interest below $1.3500 helped squeeze the euro up to $1.3539. The common currency should see solid support at $1.3460/80, an area that had provided a floor on several occasions in the past 10 months or so.
The greenback was at 101.23 yen and not far from last week's low of 101.09. The euro stood at 137.09 yen, off a five-month trough of 136.71.
Gold was idling at $1,311.14 an ounce, after last week's choppy action saw it swing between $1,339 and $1,292.
Crude oil prices were subdued after enjoying only a brief rally last week. Brent inched up 5 cents to $107.29 a barrel. U.S. crude fell 24 cents to $102.89 a barrel. (Reuters)

Swine flu claimed its first victim in Bangalore on Thursday with the death of 26-year-old Roopa who was admitted at St. Philomena's Hospital on August 7.
She died due to complications arising out of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, which she developed on August 12.
Confirming this with The Hindu the hospital's Medical Director, Shankar Prasad, said her samples had tested positive for H1N1 on Wednesday evening. But she died even before the reports were received by the hospital, he added.
"She was admitted for pneumonia, which rapidly progressed to ARDS. Hercondition was 'stable' till August 9, after which it deteriorated," Dr. Prasad said. "We suspected H1N1 and sent her samples immediately for tests. We also began treatment with Tamiflu," he added.
PTI adds:
Earlier an eleven-month-old boy and a 75-year-old woman died in Pune. The toll in Pune, severely hit by the virus, has now gone up to 12.
The Pune boy, Rutwik Kamle, was admitted first to a private hospital and then shifted to government-run Sassoon Hospital on Wednesday evening in a serious condition, official sources said. He died early Thursday morning.
Another patient, Bharti Goyal, who was suffering from the viral infection, died in KEM Hospital here, they said.
With this, the number of flu deaths in Pune rose to 12 and across the country to 19. Besides the Pune deaths, one person each has succumbed to the virus in Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Nashik, Chennai and Thiruvananthapuram and two in Mumbai.
Ten people on Wednesday night tested positive for swine flu in Gujarat, taking the total number of those afflicted by the disease countrywide to 1,203.
Pune the worst-hit
While Pune remained the worst-hit area by the disease with 61 new cases being reported from the city, Gujarat's 10 new cases took the number of those infected to 27 in the State.
"All test results that were pending have come and according to them, 10 more people, including three women, have tested positive for swine flu," Gujarat Principal Secretary Health Ravi Saxena told PTI.
1,203 patients affected
The figures include five from Ahmedabad, four from Surat and one from Navsari, Saxena said. In Navsari, a 14-year-old boy has been infected by the virus. According to the available data, a total of 125 fresh cases have been reported, taking the total number of those afflicted to 1,203.
Besides the western region, flu cases were reported from Mumbai (24), Kolkata (3), Bangalore (10), Shillong (1), Goa (1), Delhi (8) and Hyderabad (3).
In Shillong, the 17-year-old male patient had travelled to the U.K.
In Bangalore, all of the 10 cases had contracted the virus in the country and had no foreign travel history. Goa also reported one indigenous case. All the eight patients in Delhi and three in Hyderabad had acquired the infection in India.

Then I realised every raiding guild on Medivh works like a company. Every guild interested in me told me to "Go to their boards, and fill out an application". So, I would spend 30 minutes at a time filling these things out, only to hear "Thank you Ogon, we will get in touch with you when we have the time!" and when i wait for a few days and then go to them myself they tell me their busy, and will talk to me at a later date.

Tolono Village Advisory Questions, 3 (April 2011)
Three Tolono Village Advisory Questions were on the April 5, 2011 ballot in the village of Tolono which is in Champaign County.
Two of these measures were defeated
The first measure asked residents if an overpass for the village should be constructed using existing tax money and also issue bonds.
The second measure asked residents if a new fire station should be constructed by using tax money and issue bonds as well.
The third measure asked residents if residents would like a quiet zone enacted near the railroad and use existing tax money to upgrade railroad safety devices.[1]
The village has around $1 million from its tax-increment-financing (TIF) district and these three advisory questions would help village officials decide what to do with that money. The railroad quiet zone would cost the least amount of money and would have the most long term impact. The new fire station was suggested as residency has climbed in the village and further fire protection services are thought to be needed. The overpass would cost the most and has the most pro and con arguments. Alternatives to the overpass have also been suggested.[3]

I was nerves buying this unit with no reviews. But I'm happy i did. Has a lot of features for not much money. Blue tooth works great. Kids Love the DVD player. Install was easy with the kit that was provided. Would buy again.

Review by
Amber from Hastings, ON, Canada
For the money, this is a very good product. It works exactly as advertised and has a lot of neat features including bluetooth and the ability to play music from USB sticks and flash cards. The sound output is also good and the menu functions are intuitive and easy to use. I was going to go with a better know brand name but Im glad I didnt, they were all twice as much and this one does everything. For some odd reason the pre-amp out put for the sub is only one cable but no big deal I just used my rears.

Review by
NC Firemen from Mount Holly, NC
I own a 2007 Hyundai Sonota replacing the original head unit. Little background: I had this system installed by a professional. No shade tree mechanic here
Things that I like. 1. The unit is big enough for my eyes to see 2. It plays CD's 3. That's all..... Things that I didn't like.. 1. Radio has a hard time picking up my favorite local channel 2. USB would not work with any phone, Android, IPhone etc.. just said loading............. 3. Wife said the Bluetooth sounded like I was driving with the windows down. All the windows were up and I was on the intersate. 4. The trim piece would not fit over the head unit. Kinda a important thing. Don't get this head unit, spend a little more not much and get a name brand unit. I am not rich by any means but a 30 dollar increase makes a world of difference.
October 18, 2013 | Pretty Good... Not Great |
Review by
Tony from Maud, TX
Deck is pretty good for the price. Just a couple of minor issues for me, and part of this is just being picky. First the clock on the deck is too small and there is no way to change the size. Also, the blue tooth stopped working about 2 weeks after installation. There is no support info available as well. Overall pleased with the product but don't know if I'd buy it again.
September 24, 2013 | not even worth it at this price |
Review by
PPI Power from Brookings , SD
I tried to install this in my 05 titan and needless to say it looks atrocious. The unit sounds good with decent speakers but has absolutely no options as far as the unit goes. Ipod , well forget about it loading for almost a full day trying to get it to work even as a drive will not show up.... If you need a cheap deck with really no real upgrades maybe.
September 23, 2013 | Great Value |

Douglas from Elk Ridge, UT
Product works fine and with all of my DVDs. I also enjoy the fact that it was easy to install and holds up to my children who are rough on products.
September 23, 2013 | great stereo |
Review by
shane from Burlington, WA
The stereo was easy to install and works and sounds great. Dvd quality is very good. Easy to see in day light. Would recommend this stereo for anyone. Only thing I didnt like was that when playing music via bluetooth the audio info doesnt show on stereo. Its just a blank screen. Other than that its great.

Review by
Kendall from Lubbock, TX
Radio performs as described, but one thing to watch for on video.
I like using music videos instead of just seeing the default background on the radio playing CD's/MP3's (non-changable). It sucks If you plan on watching mp4's depending on the encoding, the video will suck. Most of the time you will have to re-encode video for this radio. Keep the bit right at 2 Meg or under. After several attempts, I finally just went with re-encoding your wide screen 1080/720's to standard mpg files at a 640x480 25/29fps at 2Meg. The radio will expand it out. (it will look squished on windows media player, but ok on the radio) Trying to use a full 1080 vid on this will cause it to skip badly. Resolution on this screen is not that good. Still sounds good at 192K on audio. Other than that, it works great.

Review by
Robert from Seattle, WA
Had it professionally installed. Came with everything needed to install it. Sounds great. Touch screen makes it easy to operate. The remote is simple and straight forward. You can hook up so many types of media to it. In the day light I often have a problem with glare. that is probably my only complaint. I recommend this radio highly.
September 18, 2013 | Great tft radio for the bucks |
Review by
relishman from drummondville, PQ, Canada
Very impressed about this TFT radio. Very nice for the price.Some adjustment required to fit this unit in my mighty for escape 2001 but nothing important ... I buy this unit just for the Bluetooth option and work very well when incoming or outgoing call. I put 5 GB music file in the SD card slot and work well. 15 seconds of loading time. The LCD screen is not a state of the art of resolution but, for the price, this unit is a very good choice.

September 17, 2013 | be careful |
Review by
Aaron from palm bay, FL
Be very careful when selecting double dins the TFT screen is slightly larger than the radio. It did not fit in my 2004 corolla. Luckily it fit in my brother in laws car, so I sold it to him instead of returning it. Low on features as well. But for 150 you can't complain much.
September 17, 2013 | Great Product and Better Price |
Review by
Kevin from Biggar, SK, Canada
I have owned this AV unit for the summer and I am very pleased.
I have the backup camera attached and now I don't even think twice but use it constantly when parking. Great feature. I paired this with a sub and amp, great deep sound. The Bluetooth phone feature is better than any of the separate units I have purchased in the past and it even overrides the audio...wonderful. If there is a negative, I would say not to buy the dash kit because it is too small for the unit. I also wish the clock was larger.
September 6, 2013 | It is a Good 7'' Screen |
Review by
B. Howser from Lakeland , fl
The radio is a good 7" touch screen for any vehicle with kids or a show vehicle plenty of RCA for back monitors and a backup camera.
Has good blue tooth and DVD player with USB and SD card you can play almost any kind of video not bad power for normal speakers
August 30, 2013 | Exceeded my expectations |
Review by
Rob from Fort Worth, Texas
This product is a very nice toy for the money. I have a very nice 1989 Toyota pickup and was a little worried about it fitting in the area where my old radio was. It took my local shop around 1 hour to completely install it with hardly any modification. I recommend you getting the harness for your car or truck although you could install it in a boat as well. This is really a nice unit and I am very satisfied and recommend it highly. Sonic Electronix was also very knowledgeable and professional.
May 29, 2013 | Great for the Money |
Review by
KK from Saskatchewan, Canada
I was in a position where I had to replace my factory CD system. This unit is by far a great and low price option. I wouldn't compare it to a modern factory unit but as a replacement, it is super.
I placed it in a 1999 F150 and I had a lot...I mean a lot of customizing to make it fit. Don't even think about an installation kit, it will not work but do get the wire adapter, this will save lots of time and sanity. Overall now that it is installed, I am very happy. I added a backup camera as well, it is on an independent switch so I can check the hitch in transit. I personally love the system, hopefully it stands the test of time.
January 1, 2013 | Didnt fit. |
Review by
stargirl from lake havasu city az
I would not recomend this product. It has less options then my factory stereo and did not fit into the dash kit that came with it. It did sound pretty good with my speakers but thats about it.

Buzz has been building since the new iPhones were unveiled on Sept. 9 at an event near Apple's headquarters, with pre-orders topping 4 million units in the first 24 hours and surpassing earlier releases. A third of Android users polled by Boston-based Gazelle said they're likely to upgrade to the iPhone 6, with 39 percent saying the bigger screen was driving the decision. Last year, a 10th of the smartphones traded in when the iPhone 5s and 5c went on sale were Android-based devices, according to Chris Sullivan, Gazelle's CEO.
—Tim Higgins, Bloomberg
Apple posted O-ficial product shots of iPhones and iPads with rules on how you're allowed to use them.
Brad Reed at BGR:
It's something we've long suspected but now we finally have the proof we need: Your wireless carrier wants to push you to buy a Samsung smartphone over an iPhone. Kantar Worldpanel has just released a new study (PDF) confirming reports that we've long heard about carriers trying to steer their customers away from the iPhone and toward rival devices -- most prominently, Samsung's.
No shit. Mobile carriers and cable companies are run by scumbags.
Let's continue:
Why, exactly, are carriers doing this? It's not exactly a conspiracy so much as it's rational self-interest. The iPhone carries a very high subsidy cost for carriers, who are concerned about Apple racking up too much market power. After all, if the iPhone becomes more popular than it already is, then it gives Apple leverage to push for even stronger carrier subsidies.
This is exacerbated by the fact that iPhone customers are the most fanatically loyal smartphone users around -- once they've been converted they don't even think of trying other devices.
This last part is the key: "This is exacerbated by the fact that iPhone customers are the most fanatically loyal smartphone users around".
This isn't as correct as it should be. Apple sold 1-2 million iPhones in 2007. They sold over 35 million iPhones in Q3 2014.
It's not only that iPhone customers are loyal: Apple continues to gain more and more loyal users each quarter of each year. There's a good chance the person you're pointing at and calling an "Apple fanoi" or an "Apple fanatic" wasn't one 6 months or a year ago. This is despite the efforts of scumbag carriers trying to convince you to buy phones you don't want.
As Steve Jobs once said, "Let the consumers vote with their wallets."
(my emphasis)
Hats off to Apple. The markets may disagree, but WWDC 2014 was a resounding success. Its mixture of imitation and innovation plugged holes against Android and set off a new war in both wearables and smart homes via smart SDKs (software developer kits). Furthermore Apple execs seemed upbeat and relaxed, as if the company was finally comfortable in its post-Steve Jobs skin. And yet there was one major, potentially disastrous mistake.
Here's a hint: Apple made an ad about it.
Yes - unlike owners of increasingly big Android rivals - users of iPhones can easily reach the top corners of their devices. It is convenient and, to quote the ad, "a dazzling display of common sense." But the common sense won't last much longer.
Everything changes with the iPhone 6. Not only because Apple is widely known to be increasing the screen size from 4 inches to 4.7 inches (a sizeable jump in its own right), but because the company is keeping the distinctive, large, circular and utterly outdated home button.
—Gordon Kelly, Forbes
So Kelly, is that your final answer? Your opinion about how Apple is shooting itself in the face is tied to the hardware home button on their iOS devices?
That is a stupid statement. Or a bold one. Maybe both. Definitely stupid.
I wonder if Gordon Kelly believes carmakers have made a disastrous mistake by keeping the distinctive, large, circular steering wheel on automobiles year after year.
Slate: Here's Why Developers Keep Favoring Apple Over Android
This map showing the locations of 280 million individual posts on Twitter shows a depressing divide in America: Tweets coming from Manhattan tend to come from iPhones. Tweets coming from Newark, N.J., tend to come from Android phones.
If you live in the New York metro area, you don't need to be told that Manhattan is where the region's rich people live, and the poor live in Newark. Manhattan's median income is $67,000 a year. Newark's is $17,000, according to U.S. Census data.
The tech press keeps saying Apple needs to release a low-cost iPhone.
Maybe none of them know what they're talking about.
The noise I'm referring to:
John Paczkowski: Why Build a Cheaper iPhone? Because It's Stupid Not To.
CNet: Apple needs a low-cost iPhone, says analyst
Enough About China, Apple Also Needs A Low-Cost iPhone In The US
Cult of Mac: Why Apple Needs A Low-Cost iPhone More Than Ever
As Gruber points out, Apple has been offering low-cost iPhones for a while now.

Kirby Ferguson is back with a new, one-off video, Everything is a Remix Case Study: The iPhone.
I love Kirby's work, but this video isn't as strong as his bigger Everything is a Remix Series.
In fact, his TED Talk on the subject of the iPhone was even better.
Taken from Samsung's 132-page engineer's guide to copying the iPhone.
Question: Wouldn't it be more effective to give that document to Samsung's designers? Does Samsung have designers?
via Yimmy's Yayo
Eric Chemi at Bloomberg Businessweek puts things into perspective for the iPhone haters:
If [the iPhone] were its own company in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, IPhone Inc. would outsell 474 of those companies--ranking between Wells Fargo (WFC) ($90.5 billion) and Marathon Petroleum (MPC) ($84.9 billion). The iPhone's $88.4 billion in annualized revenue tops 21 of the 30 component companies in the Dow Jones industrial average--it would be the ninth-biggest stock in the Dow 30
Most of us geeks and nerds know Apple's product cycles are pretty regular.
I know this from not only following the tech news regularly, but I've also known about MacRumor's Mac Buyer's Guide for at least 8 years now. Apple releases a new iPhone every year, or to be more accurate, every 338 days.
Please share this knowledge with any non-nerd/geek relatives who nag you about whether they should get a new iPhone now or wait.
There's absolutely no reason anyone should still be saying, "Dammit! I wish I had known Apple was going to drop a new iPhone. I would have waited."
No more excuses.
Cap Watkins smartly observes iOS 7 is unpolished by design.
Matt Mullenweg's 2010 post on this topic keeps getting better with age:
Many entrepreneurs idolize Steve Jobs. He's such a perfectionist, they say. Nothing leaves the doors of 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino without a polish and finish that makes geeks everywhere drool. No compromise!
I like Apple for the opposite reason: they're not afraid of getting a rudimentary 1.0 out into the world.
Most of the noise you see right now surrounding iOS 7 is in reaction to veneer, to styling, not to design. If you watch the demo videos of iOS 7 on Apple's site, you'll see there's been fundamental human interface changes to the operating system beyond the Helvetica 45 light and semi-transparent panels.
I haven't even brought up the most obvious point: Most people complaining about iOS 7 haven't even used it yet.
Don't knock it 'til you try it.

Tap That App takes on Android security
App malware is a growing problem for smartphones, but there's more to keeping your Android phone safe than scanning for bad apps. Check out how these three apps from Lookout, AVG, and Trend Micro make your Android device battle-ready.

In this week's episode of Tap That App, we look at the growing Android security field and check out three apps with three different takes on what's important when making Android safer. One thing's for sure: the makers of all three think that there's more to Android security than mere antivirus and malicious app scanning.
For a more detailed analysis, check out the story this episode of Tap That App is based on.

The hotel location is good. It is really situated at the central of the Hague. There are one Mc Donalds , One Burger king within 20 Mt distance of hotels. Major Trams have station in front of hotel. The shopping center and shopping street is in 50 m distance. All major tourist attractions are nearby. The hotel itself is very quiet. The room was medium size in European scale but it was comfortable. The breakfast did not have many choices but was OK. There were only two problems in this hotel. The first: there was only one staff in the front desk and he/she was always busy and if you needed some guidance, nobody would help you unless you should wait in the long queue. The second: the toilet was separated from the bathroom and there were no basin for washing hands. Overally , I can evaluate this hotel as a good one.

Alcohol Dependence and Reproductive Timing in African and European Ancestry Women: Findings in a Midwestern Twin Cohort
Mary Waldron, Kathleen K. Bucholz, Pamela A. F. Madden, Alexis E. Duncan, Carolyn E. Sartor, Andrew C. Heath
Objective: We examined associations between reproductive onset and history of alcohol dependence (AD) in 475 African ancestry (AA) and 2,865 European or other ancestry (EA) female twins. Method: Participants were drawn from a U.S. midwestern birth cohort study of like-sex female twin pairs born between 1975 and 1985, ages 21–32 as of last completed assessment. Cox proportional hazards regression models were estimated predicting age at first childbirth from history of AD, separately by race/ethnicity, without and with adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics, body mass index, history of other substance involvement, psychopathology, and family and childhood risks. Results: Among EA twins, AD predicted early childbearing through age 17 and delayed childbearing from age 25 onward; in adjusted models, AD was associated with overall delayed childbearing. Among AA twins, reproductive timing and AD were not significantly related in either unadjusted or adjusted models. Conclusions: Findings for twins of European ancestry are consistent with well-documented links between early alcohol mis/use and teenage parenting as well as delays in childbearing associated with drinking-related reproductive and relationship difficulties. Extension of analyses to other racial/ethnic groups of sufficient sample size remains important. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 75, 235–240, 2014)
