We took a road trip to the Grand Canyon/Sedona/etc over christmas break. While we were there FI decided to surprise me with the most perfect ring! I had a list of what I wanted if I were to have a ring because I'm one of those weirdos that would really like to go on an environmental rant right now but won't - vintage - european cut - "organic" look - bezel set because prongs freak me out He hit every mark!
Wow so glad you bring this up to us here... I was just thinking how much better my brewing would be with a ring! Oh wait, I wasn't.
Every divorce begins with a ring....
I thought for sure this was going to be another of those "my boyfriend do not like me to where this dress because too short. What do you think?" threads.
Haha. Are we brewing with spam now?
"Some people are still alive only because it's illegal to kill them.""To Clone" List:- Sammy Smith's Winter Welcome- Southern Tier Choklat Stout - Rogue Dead Guy Ale - Three Floyd's Gumballhead
This guy is tricky. Posted on another member's brewing log thread with "Jalepeno Cream Ale". Gotta watch what the low-post count people are posting. The new thing is to drop a few random beer related posts before posting their ridiculous spam threads.
****ing spam.
IB4TL! Also, BTW that's an ugly ring.
Single Vessel BIAB is all I need....Until we figure out the no vessel technique.

During my 642-637 exam also, I preferred using the guides and it helped. It helped clear all my doubts on the IPS signatures topics which seemed very hard to me.

I felt so relieved!
"I felt so relieved when Smitha, my best friend, presented me a study guide for my 642-637 exam preparation. A friend in need is a friend indeed'. What an excellent guide for the tough IOS VPN features topic. Presenting the materials with all probable questions and suitable short answers just made me mesmerized. Following them up was very easy and reproducing in the exam paper was no issue at all. It made me very confident of the test and I scored good marks. Thanks Smitha and thanks to Braindump too.

"Hi! This is Evan from Bangkok. I wanted a short, easy and simple guide to pass my 642-637 test. Checked many dumps in the market. But, the one which satisfied all my quesrries and expection was a Braindumps product. Very easy language and simple answers. Just the right one for me who knows little English. I could complete my studies in 10 days and answered all questions including the one from the Layer 2 and Layer 3 security features topic which seemed very hard to me. Paased well and got a new job! Great help, Braindumps.

It worked so well!
"After my graduation, got a very good job in the IT Company and started living in a new city called Chiang Mai. Liked the hustles and bustles of the city life coming from a rural background. But it didn't last long as my boss resigned. Thought to pass the 642-637 test and leave the job. Took help from study guide by Braindumps and it worked so well. It helped me score well above the pass marks of 75% and I was able to change my job. Very happy indeed. Thanks, Braindump.

"What an amazing guide book for people like me, Braindumps! I have all praise for your team. They researched very well and presented us this effective guide. The way it handled the topics and cleared the confusions is worth mentioning. Being an average student, never felt confident to pass the 642-637 test until I came to know about this dump. It made me so comfortable with the preparation that I passed this test without much effort and decided to take help from Braindump products for my upcoming IT certification tests. Great help, Braindumps.

My dream came true
"Spent sleepless nights after failing the 642-637 exam last summer. Passing the test was a necessity for me as I wanted to change my job. But, couldn't manage time for preparation. Felt upset and decided to skip the test when I was introduced with the study guide by Braindumps. It's an excellent material created by a learned team. All probable questions on the topics are dealt in an easy manner through questions and answers. I could grasp it all in minimum time and fared well in the test.

Its easy and effective

I felt really blessed to have it for my exam preparations. What a wonderful way to deal with the subjects, Braindumps. I felt fully confident with the dump and completed my preparation in two weeks' time. Proud to say that I was the first person to submit the paper well before time (70 minutes) and pass the test.

Explain your project[edit]
Describe your project in three to five sentences. Thereby, imagine you describe it to a person who has not been involved. Do not forget to explain (technical) terms.
Explain why your project was successful[edit]
Give specific examples for results, outcome or impact of your project. If possible make the success of your project measurable (for example, count the number of contributors or edits before and after your project). In doing so you could also differentiate between results for
- your project-partner (e.g. a cultural institution, a university)
- the Wikipedia community or
- other audiences
Explain what went wrong[edit]
Be honest and let others know where the project stumbled or what are the (typical) drawbacks. Try to develop strategies to deal with these problems or give advise on how to prevent or minimize them.

We are scheduled for an unseasonable hard freeze tonight with 24 degrees predicted. Should peonies that have several inches of growth be severely affected? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Just to be on safe side, maybe you should cover them. The hard freeze won't kill the plants, but they may damage/kill the flower buds. In that case, you won't have any flowers for this season and that would be a shame. |
Yes cover them up. Even if the plant root survives, you'll dread seeing the dead leaves/stalks for a few weeks anyway. Compare that to opening up your cover tomorrow morning and see the weather temps back up and your plant doing just fine because you took a little bit of extra precaution. I also learned my lesson this year about certain other plants (not peonies). Their roots may do fine with the low temperatures but their leaves and stalks that are up above ground need to be protected (even a new leaf compared to an old leaf, the new leaf needs more protection on the same plant) |

If they have flower buds cover them (a gallon ziplock baggie works nicely). If no flower buds, don't worry about it. They are cold weather flowers. |
The most damage that can occur for your plants is if the temps goes from 24 to say 60 degrees in a 24 hours period. It is the sudden freeze and thaw that the leaves and buds can't take. However, if the freeze and subsequent warmups are gradual, then the damage maybe lessened. |

I ordered a custom gun belt from Jerry Bissell, (Jerry Bissell | Mount Airy, NC 27030) a retired gentleman who works with leather in his spare time. I placed my order for a mahogany, 1 1/2", double thickness, double stitched, seven hole, gun belt with antique brass roller buckle; the cost including shipping was $65. The order was placed on Tuesday 4/23/13, took delivery on Sat. 4/27/13. The quality is better than belts I paid double that price for.
The instructions on the website for measuring gave me a spot on correct size when the belt was delivered. I liked that there were so many options to choose from, colors: black, tan, dark brown, mahogany; thickness of belt either 1 1/2, or 1 1/4; with several different styles of buckles in brass, nickel, and antiqued finish; color of stitching, 5 hole or 7 hole adjustment spacing.
The belt is stiff and easily supported my G23 and extra mag so I decided to try my Colt Govt. and two spare mags; no problem, zero bend, no sag. I am placing a second order this coming monday for a 1 1/4" dress gun belt in black with white thread. I am not only pleased, but surprised that a custom gun belt this well made is sold so inexpensively.

Table For One: What My Breakup Taught Me About Dining Alone
It all began when I was in New York City killing time before a business meeting. Having always loved dining out, I was happy to stumble upon an enticing-looking restaurant called the Banc Café. I walked in and requested a table for one — I was freshly out of a relationship, so this seemed like a bold move at the time. "It's just me," I said, standing vulnerably in front of the handsome host, wondering if he would label me as a desperate single girl.
"Stop it, Diana, this is New York," I reminded myself. "People dine alone all the time here. You can do this! You're a single, secure, independent woman."
During this first post-breakup solo dining experience, I didn't have any of my "I am alone" armor — a newspaper, book, magazine or legal work. Things got especially tricky when I had to use the ladies' room (who watches your coat and handbag?) Still, I survived. I sent some text messages here and there and did some people-watching. I noticed the couple cozied up in the corner noshing on fried calamari, the single straggler at the bar enjoying his beer while watching a recap of the Yankee game, the suited-up New Yorkers hurrying by the windows with their smartphones. "Where do I fit in?" I wondered, pondering my single status. "Who am I now?" I used to know, but I had lost myself since I was no longer someone's girlfriend.
Before I could answer my own question, the waiter served me the most perfect prosciutto and fig flatbread that I have ever seen. It was topped with wild mushrooms, oozing brie, onion confit, almonds and truffle oil — the most perfectly comforting combination of crunchy and cheesy. When I took my first bite, I wanted to exclaim, "This is amazing!" But when I looked up, reality hit me hard. The only thing sitting across from me was an empty chair. My ex was gone and I was worlds away from finding a replacement Prince Charming.

Farage on Fire
He's right…
Despite being one of Jeremy Hunt's most vocal defenders on the airwaves and the twittersphere, Louise Mensch failed to make the Commons vote this afternoon. Other Tory MPs were dragged from hospital beds, funerals and even their own honeymoon to troop through the Lobby, but it seems an exception was made for the member for Corby, who was paired. Why? Because the Queen was visiting her marginal constituency…
Out of my hospital bed and on way to HoC for vote so our coalition partners can polish their consciences. Many of us won't forget this

Lots of unhappy backbench bunnies this evening…
Alex Salmond has claimed that the Observer hacked his bank account in 1999, telling the Leveson Inquiry:
"I believe that my bank account was accessed by the Observer newspaper some time ago, in 1999 and my reason for believing that is I was informed by a former Observer journalist, who gave me a [inaudible] of what was in my bank account that could only be known to somebody who had seen it. For example, I had bought some toys for my then at that time young nieces in a toy shop in [inaudible] high street which was called Fun and Games, and the person who informed me told me that this caused great anticipation and hope in the Observer investigation unit because they believed that perhaps Fun and Games was more than a conventional toy shop. And enormous disappointment when it turned out to be just a toy shop. I have to say that on [that specific] high street, it seemed to me unlikely that it would be anything else, but anyway, the point I'm making is the person concerned had detail which could only have been known by somebody who had full access to my bank account at that stage."
GMG have put out a short statement that does not deny the incident but asks, again, for more evidence.
"Mr Salmond first raised the matter of an alleged unauthorised access of his bank account with the Observer's editor last year. The allegation was that a journalist working for the Observer had accessed his bank details in 1999. As we explained to him last year, on the basis of the information he had given us, we have been unable to find any evidence to substantiate his allegation. As our response to him at the time made clear, we take this allegation very seriously and if he is able to provide us with any more information we will investigate further."
UPDATE: Co-conspirators in the comments said the BBC would ignore it, they're right. So far, so ignored, points out the Sun's political editor, Tom Neutron-Bomb:

Guido understands that Dan Hodges is returning to the New Statesman. The move comes weeks after his old foe Mehdi Hasan was "promoted" to the Huffington Post. Guido is told he'll be an occasional columnist. Ed will love that…
UPDATE: Guido has just spoken to Hodges, who confirms he will continue to write for the Telegraph while contributing fortnightly to the New Statesman magazine.
James "Scottie" Scott, the deputy editor of the Sunday Mirror, has been named as the new editor of the People. Scottie will replace Lloyd Embley, who moved to the vacant weekday editor spot at the Mirror two weeks ago. The appointment is all the more interesting seeing as Scott was intimately involved with obtaining the Ulrika Jonsson story back in 2002. And we all know what happened there…
The Speaker sparked a furore in the House after refusing to ask Chris Bryant to withdraw his accusation that Jeremy Hunt is a liar. Bryant claims it was fair game as Hunt was mentioned in the motion though others do not agree:
Speaker rules that @ChrisBryantMP can accuse Hunt of being a "liar" – usually unparliamentary ie leads MP to be expelled

Astonishing that Speaker Bercow has not pulled up Chris Bryant for saying Jeremy Hunt "has lied to Parliament". Tories will be furious.
— Toby Helm (@tobyhelm) June 13, 2012
The Tories weren't in a mood to let Bercow off the hook, with Jacob Rees-Mogg hitting the nail on the head:
How many more decisions like this from Bercow will the Tories tolerate…
Alastair Darling will launch the 'no' campaign against Scottish freedom in Edinburgh in two weeks time. Forth One broke the news that Darling will kick off the "Better Together" bid to maintain the repression of the Scottish nation with a speech in his own constituency on June 25.
Well they did say they wanted to stop the campaign from going down the glitzy route…
These are the letters that the Prime Minister had up his sleeve:
Dear Sir Alex Allan
You will be aware that I will this week be giving evidence to the Leveson Inquiry. As you know, I have decided not to refer Jeremy Hunt to you as I am satisfied that the relevant information about this issue has been established and I am content that he did not break the ministerial code.
Separately, I will be outlining to Leveson some of the initiatives this Government has taken to strengthen accountability and transparency as well as some areas where I am proposing future changes to the current guidance. These include the conduct of special advisers and the handling of quasi-judicial decisions and I would welcome your comments.
Yours sincerely
David Cameron MP
Prime Minister,
Thank you for your letter of 13 June. I note your decision in relation to Jeremy Hunt's adherence to the Ministerial Code which is of course a matter for you. The fact that there is an on-going judicial Inquiry probing and taking evidence under oath means that I do not believe that I could usefully add to the facts in this case though I remain available should circumstances change or new evidence emerge.
On the broader issues I would welcome the opportunity to comment in more detail before the new guidance is finalised.
Yours sincerely
Sir Alex Allan

"It would be a fatal mistake, in my view, for Labour to go into this election looking as though it is the party that would better resource the National Health Service but not necessarily put its foot to the floor when it comes to reforming. Look, reforms are not easy, but the Labour Party is not a conservative party. It should be about moving things forward not preserving them in aspic. You have got a pale imitation actually of the 1992 general election campaign, and maybe it will have the same outcome. I don't know."

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.

"Glad to meet you! I'm Edward." nicecharacter's Profile
I live in a middle-sized town called Perm with about 1 mln population. Perm is situated in Urals, West from Yekaterinburg, 2 hours flight from Moscow. On photo - partial view on the city from my window (16th floor)
I've finished Politechnical University as an electric engeneer. Although I've never worked as this specialist (it was quite common in Russia that time) I work right near the University.
I love my wife Alfiya and my daughter Lidiya. FIrst time we've traveled all together - it was Turkey, Antalia. Then - Spain, Costa Daurada. Last year we've travelled to Egypt, Hurgada. It was a real event! Lidyia still asks when we are going to go there again, but... We are waiting for a second baby apparently, so, it will hold us here a while :^)
Once I told to my little Lidiya that it's better to go to a castle somewhere in Provance, France etc. Just to let her know )) Now she's really planning to go there ) She's prepared a "night" dress and even asked me to buy an old styled fan )
My long awaited son Dmitry has been born. OK, lets wait for a while and we'll be able to go somewhere again, now in four!
I work in financial sphere, namely in Asset Management Company situated in Perm. We manage people's money on Russian Stock market which so far has been goiong up 50% yearly in average. Now I'm also behaving as a strategy writer for some of my friends in Europe e-mailing them my thoughts on the market and what shares they should invest in. The work has high degree of nervousness and definitely takes bits of my health slowly. On the other hand I manage attending many conferences, meeting people and making friends. So, 18-22 October I'm going to go to NY for a conference "Russia and CIS Countries: new role in the changing world". The special guest there must be Alain Greenspan! A year before in Brussels I've attended an amazing lecture of Tom Copland, professor, who was the creator of Discounted Cash Flow method which is now used all over the world. He's been telling us about his relatively new approach called "Real options" - the same name book I still cannot read through )). You can see him on the picture.

Order This, Not That: Chipotle
by Toby Amidor in Dining Out, April 10, 2009
This quick-service joint has been around for years, but Dana and I only recently tested it out. We'd heard they use free-range animal meat and fresher ingredients. We didn't realize those would come in gigantic portions! That said, here are our tips for eating healthier (and greener) at Chipotle.


text: I loved the dress she wore in the season 3 Halloween (live) show. Absolutely perfect choice. The earthy color pallet, the stones and sequins, and the horizontal stripes in which they were all aligned in various thicknesses. Beautiful. I my pro fashion opinion the solid, bright colored, thin, drape-y material-ed dresses do not do her beauty justice. She nailed it on Halloween season 3 finale. :)

New regulations could exclude municipal bonds from a core list of safe assets that can be held by large banks, but will that really hurt the muni market?
The Wall Street Journal ran a story on Friday saying the Federal Reserve, FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency are weighing rules regarding what types of investments should qualify as "high quality liquid assets" – the latest efforts to make sure banks have adequate liquid holdings to fund their operations for 30 days should other funding sources dry up – and it looks like munis may not make the cut. Bloomberg has a story today saying munis are in line to be excluded when the final liquidity rules are announced Sept. 3 if the most recent draft rules are upheld.
Munis are generally high-quality assets, but the muni market, which consists of a disparate array of bonds issued by hundreds of state and local governments, isn't necessarily liquid once you get too far beyond state general obligation bonds. So how much of a hit would this be to the $3.7 trillion muni market if banks suddenly couldn't count munis toward their safest holdings?
Some muni market experts say the rules won't really harm muni prices in general. Anthony Valeri, fixed-income strategist at LPL Financial, says bank buying has been an important source of demand in the muni market, but it has has slowed in recent months and remains comparatively small.
"If confirmed, the new liquidity ruling would reduce bank demand and, at the margin, produce a headwind for the municipal bond market," Valeri writes today. "However, with banks owning roughly 11% of the municipal bond market, we do not view the regulations as a primary driver of the market. Treasury market direction, broader supply changes, and valuations are likely to play more prominent roles in municipal price movements."
Matt Fabian of Municipal Market Advisors sees downside if there's ever a crisis, but says the day-to-day risk to the muni market is isn't so bad.
"[A]lthough some segments of our market (large blocks of well‐rated, well‐known bonds) are liquid by most standards, the municipal market as a whole presents 'effective liquidity' (i.e., in past crises, patient holders have ultimately been able to exit at reasonable prices) as opposed to the 'structural liquidity' (i.e., a persistent bid side for all securities) found in other asset classes," Fabian writes this week. "But the related risk is easy to overstate. We expect that, at worst, their exclusion from HQLA will amplify the downside in tax‐exempts during systemic crises but otherwise likely poses only incremental pressure on prices."

Does anyone know a safe ratio of gibberellic acid (grams/liter) for use on cactus seeds? I have one gram of the powder. I plan on using this on some Opuntia ficus-indica seeds. I don't want to get too concentrated a solution, because that'll harm the seeds. If I have it too low, it won't have any effect. This much I have gathered about its effects (If I'm wrong please correct me).
Hopefully someone will be able to give me a ratio safe for use on cactus seeds in general. |

I guess I'll just use the gram in a gallon of water. I suppose that's diluted enough. Hm, with my luck at germinating cactus seeds, that'd probably etiolate and kill the whole batch of seedlings. Ah well, I might as well give it a shot. What I don't use, I will spray on the dead patches on my lawn. :) |

While I don't know the right proportions of Gibberellic acid to use, I do know that you may be able to coerce your cactus seeds to germinate with the effects of GA using electricity applied to the soil in which it grows. |

That's shocking! It sounds very unusual and interesting, and I'll have to look into it. Thank you! I just found that most users will add one gram of GA per one liter of water, but some just halve the gram. So, I think just treating half of the batch of seeds in a gram per a gallon for a day or two might be safe enough. |

New Malware Targeting Apple Devices
Palo Alto Networks Inc has uncovered a new group of malware that can infect Apple Inc's desktop and mobile operating systems, underscoring the increasing sophistication of attacks on iPhones and Mac computers.
The "WireLurker" malware can install third-party applications on regular, non-jailbroken iOS devices and hop from infected Macs onto iPhones through USB connector-cables, said Ryan Olson, intelligence director for the company's Unit 42 division.
Palo Alto Networks said on Wednesday it had seen indications that the attackers were Chinese. The malware originated from a Chinese third-party apps store and appeared to have mostly affected users within the country.
The malware spread through infected apps uploaded to the apps store, that were in turn downloaded onto Mac computers. According to the company, more than 400 such infected apps had been downloaded over 350,000 times so far.
It's unclear what the objective of the attacks was. There is no evidence that the attackers had made off with anything more sensitive than messaging IDs and contacts from users' address books, Olson added.
But "they could just as easily take your Apple ID or do something else that's bad news," he said in an interview.
Apple, which Olson said was notified a couple weeks ago, did not respond to requests for comment.
Once WireLurker gets on an iPhone, it can go on to infect existing apps on the device, somewhat akin to how a traditional virus infects computer software programs. Olson said it was the first time he had seen it in action. "It's the first time we've seen anyone doing it in the wild," he added.
Amazon Tops Apple

A mere five months after Apple snatched J.D. Power's tablet satisfaction award away from Samsung, it has lost it to up-and-coming Amazon.
Apple's iPad finished in second place in the latest satisfaction survey conducted by J.D. Power and Associates, with a score of 824 out of a possible 1,000. For the first time, Amazon took first place, scoring 827.
Samsung came in at 821 for third, while Asus and Acer filled out the first five, but those stragglers' scores were under the category average.
J.D. Power's satisfaction score included five separate measurements for performance, ease of operation, features, styling and design, and cost, with each accounting for different percentages of the final number. Performance, for example, counted as 28% of the total; cost for 11%.
Apple received high scores in performance and styling and design, while Amazon performed best in ease of operation and cost, said Kirk Parsons, senior director of telecommunications services at J.D. Power.
"Within the tablet segment, there's a balance of cost and value, and for this period, Amazon was at the equilibrium," said Parsons. "For the money, [Amazon tablets] do what buyers need them to do. And the Mayday feature really helped them in ease of operation."
Mayday is a feature on Amazon's higher-end tablets that lets customers video chat with support representatives using the device.
Parsons called out Amazon's Fire HDX, which launched in October 2013 in a 7-in. size and a month later in an 8.9-in. format, for driving the brand's scores. Amazon now sells the 7-in. Fire HDX for $179; the 8.9-in. model starts at $379. "The new Fire HDX did really, really well" in the survey, Parsons noted.
J.D. Power polled nearly 2,700 U.S. tablet owners who had had their current devices for less than a year. The survey period ran from March to August.
The last time J.D. Power published tablet customer satisfaction scores, Amazon placed fourth. Its jump to first was a small surprise, said Parsons. "I figured [Amazon's] scores would improve, but I didn't think they'd take the top spot," he admitted.
Price is increasingly important to satisfaction, said Parson, as costs fall and capabilities climb across the board, making it more difficult for premium-priced tablets like Apple's iPad, to retain their polled positions. On average, tablet customers now spend $345 on their tablets, $48 less than in April 2013, a decline of 12%.
nVidia Finally Goes 20nm
For much of the year we were under the impression that the second generation Maxwell will end up as a 20nm chip.
First-generation Maxwell ended up being branded as Geforce GTX 750 and GTX 750 TI and the second generation Maxwell launched a few days ago as the GTX 980 and Geforce GTX 970, with both cards based on the 28nm GM204 GPU.
This is actually quite good news as it turns out that Nvidia managed to optimize power and performance of the chip and make it one of the most efficient chips manufactured in 28nm.
Nvidia 20nm chips coming in 2015
Still, people keep asking about the transition to 20nm and it turns out that the first 20nm chip from Nvidia in 20nm will be a mobile SoC.
The first Nvidia 20nm chip will be a mobile part, most likely Erista a successor of Parker (Tegra K1).
Our sources didn't mention the exact codename, but it turns out that Nvidia wants to launch a mobile chip first and then it plans to expand into 20nm with graphics.
Unfortunately we don't have any specifics to report.
AMD 20nm SoC in 2015
AMD is doing the same thing as its first 20nm chip, codenamed Nolan, is an entry level APU targeting tablet and detachable markets.
There is a strong possibility that Apple and Qualcomm simply bought a lot of 20nm capacity for their mobile modem chips and what was left was simply too expensive to make economic sense for big GPUs.
20nm will drive the voltage down while it will allow higher clocks, more transistors per square millimeter and it will overall enable better chips.
Just remember Nvidia world's first quad-core Tegra 3 in 40nm was rather hot and making a quad core in 28nm enabled higher performance and significantly better battery life. The same was true of other mobile chips of the era.
We expect similar leap from going down to 20nm in 2015 and Erista might be the first chip to make it to 20nm. A Maxwell derived architecture 20nm will deliver even more efficiency. Needless to say AMD plans to launch 20nm GPUs next year as well.
It looks like Nvidia's 16nm FinFET Parker processor, based on the Denver CPU architecture and Maxwell graphics won't appear before 2016.
Can Lenovo Succeed With Tablets?
July 31, 2014 by admin
Filed under Consumer Electronics
Comments Off
Lenovo on Friday said it would continue selling sub-10-in. Windows tablets in the U.S., backing away from statements it made the day before, when it said it was pulling the ThinkPad 8 from the North American market and had discontinued offering a model of the Miix 2.
"We will continue to bring new Windows devices to market across different screen sizes, including a new 8-inch tablet and 10-inch tablet coming this holiday," Lenovo said in a press release published on its website Friday.
"Our model mix changes as per customer demand, and although we are no longer selling ThinkPad 8 in the U.S., and we have sold out of Miix 8-inch, we are not getting out of the small-screen Windows tablet business as was reported by the media (emphasis in original)," the statement continued.
On Thursday, the IDG News Service — like Computerworld, owned and operated by IDG – reported the withdrawal of the ThinkPad 8 and the 8-in. Miix from the U.S. market. The ThinkPad 8 had debuted in January at prices starting at $449, and the similarly-sized Miix had launched in October 2013.
Lenovo told IDG News that it was diverting remaining stocks of the ThinkPad 8 to other countries, including Brazil, China, and Japan, where demand was stronger for smaller Windows 8.1-powered tablets.
The China-based company, which has made impressive gains in the global market — it was the world's largest personal computer seller during the second quarter, ahead of Hewlett-Packard and Dell, according to IDC — did not say exactly when it would return with an 8-in. device. If it begins selling the unnamed device in October, typical of OEMs that seed the channel then for the holiday sales season, it will have been absent from the market for two or more months.
ARM Launches Juno
ARM has announced two programs to assist Android's ascent into the 64-bit architecture market.
The first of those is Linaro, a port of the Android Open Source Project to the 64-bit ARMv8-A architecture. ARM said the port was done on a development board codenamed "Juno", which is the second initiative to help Android reach the 64-bit market.
The Juno hardware development platform includes a system on chip (SoC) powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU and dual-core ARM Cortex-A57 CPU in an ARM big.little processing configuration.
Juno is said to be an "open, vendor neutral ARMv8 development platform" that will also feature an ARM Mali-T624 graphics processor.
Alongside the news of the 64-bit initiatives, ARM also announced that Actions Semiconductor of China signed a license agreement for the 64-bit ARM Cortex-A50 processor family.
"Actions provides SoC solutions for portable consumer electronics," ARM said. "With this IP license, Actions will develop 64-bit SoC solutions targeting the tablet and over-the-counter (OTT) set top box markets."
The announcements from ARM come at an appropriate time, as it was only last week that Google announced the latest version of its Android mobile operating system, Android L, which comes with support for 64-bit processors. ARM's latest developments mean that Android developers are likely to take advantage of them in the push to take Android to the 64-bit market.
Despite speculation that it would launch as Android 5.0 Lollipop, Google outed its next software iteration on Wednesday last week as simply Android L, touting the oddly-named iteration as "the largest update to the operating system yet".
Microsoft's Killswitch Incoming
July 1, 2014 by admin
Filed under Smartphones
Comments Off
Responding to mounting pressure, Google and Microsoft will follow Apple in adding an anti-theft "kill switch" to their smartphone operating systems.
The commitment comes at a time when new data shows a dramatic drop in theft of Apple iPhones and iPads after the September 2013 introduction of iOS 7, which included a kill-switch function that allows stolen devices to be remotely locked and deleted so they become useless.
In New York, iPhone theft was down 19 percent in the first five months of this year, which is almost double the 10 percent drop in overall robberies seen in the city. Over the same period, thefts of Samsung devices — which did not include a kill switch until one was introduced on Verizon-only models in April — rose by over 40 percent.
In San Francisco, robberies of iPhones were 38 percent lower in the six months after the iOS 7 introduction versus the six months before, while in London thefts over the same period were down by 24 percent. In both cities, robberies of Samsung devices increased.
"These statistics validate what we always knew to be true, that a technological solution has the potential to end the victimization of wireless consumers everywhere," San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon told IDG News Service.
Gascon and New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman have been leading a push to get smartphone vendors and telecom carriers to include kill switches in their products as a way to curb phone theft.
The joint work had early success with Apple but other carriers and phone makers dragged their feet. However, resistance to the idea appears to be dropping as several bills that mandate kill switches make their way through state legislatures and the U.S. Congress.
The bills demand a function that would enable a phone owner to remotely delete and disable a phone if stolen. The function could be disabled by consumers before a theft takes place if desired, but crucially new handsets would be supplied with it switched on by default.
Intel And Oracle Team Up Again
Oracle has added systems to its enterprise-class x86 server line featuring elastic computing capabilities that dynamically adapt their configurations in response to workloads.
The Oracle Sun Server X4-4 and Sun Server X4-8 are four-socket and eight-socket systems designed for data centre workloads such as virtualisation, Oracle databases and scale-up enterprise applications.
However, the two servers are fitted with a unique variant of Intel's Xeon E7 v2 processor family that combines the capabilities of three different Xeon processors into one.
Oracle said it worked with Intel to create this chip, the Xeon E7-8895 v2, which can dynamically switch its core count, clock frequency and power consumption without the need for a system level reboot.
This chip is the heart of the elastic computing capability of the Sun Server X4-4 and Sun Server X4-8, enabling them to adapt to the requirements of different workloads based on its runtime configuration.
It might be configured for transaction processing at a high clock speed for one hour, then switched to higher core counts for the next hour for higher throughput computing, according to Oracle.
"Through close collaboration with Intel, we are the first to announce servers based on the new Xeon E7-8895 v2 processors and the first with unique capabilities that allow customers to dynamically address different workloads in real time," said Ali Alasti, senior vice president for hardware development at Oracle.
Enhancements have also been made to the system firmware and to Oracle's Solaris, and Oracle Linux operating systems to support the elastic computing features.
Oracle also said the new systems have a modular design that allows the processors to be upgraded to future Xeon chips, while all the disks are hot-swappable, plus there is hot-pluggable I/O support for industry-standard low-profile PCI Express cards via a dual PCIe card carrier.
The servers also feature a "glueless" architecture that removes the need for a node controller. As node controllers typically change from one processor generation to the next because of modifications to inter-processor communication and coherency protocols, the elimination enables Oracle to offer a future-proof chassis that will support future processor releases from Intel, the firm said.
The Sun Server X4-8 is touted by Oracle as ideal for running its Oracle Database, which has just been updated with an in-memory processing option. It supports 120 processor cores with up to 6TB of memory in its 5U rack-mount chassis, plus up to 9.6TB of hard drive or 3.2TB of solid state drive (SSD) storage.
Meanwhile, the Sun Server X4-4 is said to be well suited for applications requiring large memory footprint virtual machines and running real-time analytics software.
It can be configured with two or four of the Xeon E7-8895 v2 processors, with up to 3TB of memory and 4.8TB of PCIe flash plus 2.4TB of SSDs or 7.2TB of hard drives.
GPUs Down In Q1
June 5, 2014 by admin
Filed under Around The Net
Comments Off
According to Jon Peddie Research (JPR), shipments of discrete graphics cards were down in the first quarter of the year. This is in line with seasonal trends, as the market cools down after the holiday season.
The sequential drop was 6.7 percent, which was still better than the overall desktop PC market, which slumped 9 percent. However, on a year-to-year basis add-in-board (AIB) shipments were down 0.8 percent. PC sales were down 1.1 percent.
Nvidia still controls two thirds of the market
Total AIB shipments in Q1 were just 14 million units. AMD and Nvidia both saw their shipments decrease 6.6 percent, so their market share did not change much.
Nvidia controls an estimated 65 percent of the market, up from 64.2 percent last year. AMD's market share in Q1 was 35 percent, down from 35.6 percent a year ago.
The overall volume remains weak and in the long run things could get even worse, as on-die integrated graphics have already taken a big toll on sales of entry level discrete cards. As integrated GPUs become even faster, they are likely to cannibalize the low end market even further.
JPR points out that the AIB market peaked in 1999, with 114 million units shipped. Last year saw only 65 million units and the stagnant trend is likely to continue this year.
It's not all bad news for AIBs
Although the slump in discrete GPU shipments is hurting AMD and NV hardware partners, JPR offers a rather encouraging outlook.
It points out that graphics cards are one of the most powerful, essential and exciting components in the PC market today. PC gaming is hardly dead, in fact it is going through what can only be described as a small renaissance. PCs will offer 4K/UHD gaming years ahead of consoles and the Steam Machine concept is looking good, too.
The compute market is another driver, as JPR points out:
"The technology is entering into major new markets like supercomputers, remote workstations, and simulators almost on a daily basis. It would be little exaggeration to say that the AIB resembles the 800-pound gorilla in the room."
The AIB market is quite a bit less colourful and eventful than it was back in the day, but at least AIBs still have a lot on their hands and they are trying to tap new markets.
Samsung Makes Changes In Mobile
May 22, 2014 by admin
Filed under Around The Net
Comments Off
Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, the world's biggest mobile phone manufacturer, has replaced the head of its mobile design team amid criticism of the latest Galaxy S smartphone.
Chang Dong-hoon offered to resign last week and will be replaced by Lee Min-hyouk, vice president for mobile design, a Samsung spokeswoman said on Thursday.
"The realignment will enable Chang to focus more on his role as head of the Design Strategy Team, the company's corporate design center which is responsible for long-term design strategy across all of Samsung's businesses, including Mobile Communications," Samsung said in a statement.
Lee, 42, became Samsung's youngest senior executive in 2010 for his role in designing the Galaxy series, a roaring success which unseated Apple Inc's iPhone as king of the global smartphone market.
Samsung now sells two times more smartphones than Apple, largely thanks to the success of Galaxy range.
But the South Korean firm has also been battling patent litigation the world over, with Apple claiming Samsung copied the look and feel of the U.S. firm's mobile products.
The Galaxy S5, which debuted globally last month, has received a lukewarm response from consumers due to its lack of eye-popping hardware innovations, while its plastic case design has been panned by some critics for looking cheap and made out of a conveyor belt. The Wall Street Journal said the gold-colored back cover on the S5 looked like a band-aid.
Chang, a former professor who studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, will continue to lead Samsung's design center which overseas its overall design strategy.
Lee, who acquired the moniker of "Midas" for his golden touch with the Galaxy series, started out designing cars for Samsung's failed auto joint venture with Renault in the 1990s.
ARM To Focus On 64-bit SoC
ARM announced its first 64-bit cores a while ago and SoC makers have already rolled out several 64-bit designs. However, apart from Apple nobody has consumer oriented 64-bit ARM devices on the market just yet. They are slowly starting to show up and ARM says the transition to 64-bit parts is accelerating. However, the first wave of 64-bit ARM parts is not going after the high-end market.
Is 64-bit support on entry-level SoCs just a gimmick?
This trend raises a rather obvious question – are low end ARMv8 parts just a marketing gimmick, or do they really offer a significant performance gain? There is no straight answer at this point. It will depend on Google and chipmakers themselves, as well as phonemakers.
Qualcomm announced its first 64-bit part late last year. The Snapdragon 410 won't turn many heads. It is going after $150 phones and it is based on Cortex A53 cores. It also has LTE, which makes it rather interesting.
MediaTek is taking a similar approach. Its quad-core MT6732 and octa-core MT6752 parts are Cortex A53 designs, too. Both sport LTE connectivity.
Qualcomm and MediaTek appear to be going after the same market – $100 to $150 phones with LTE and quad-core 64-bit stickers on the box. Marketers should like the idea, as they're getting a few good buzzwords for entry-level gear.
However, we still don't know much about their real-world performance. Don't expect anything spectacular. The Cortex A53 is basically the 64-bit successor to the frugal Cortex A7. The A53 has a bit more cache, 40-bit physical addresses and it ends up a bit faster than the A7, but not by much. ARM says the A7 delivers 1.9DMIPS/MHz per core, while the A53 churns out 2.3DMIPS/MHz. That puts it in the ballpark of the good old Cortex A9. The first consumer oriented quad-core Cortex A9 part was Nvidia's Tegra 3, so in theory a Cortex A53 quad-core could be as fast as a Tegra 3 clock-for-clock, but at 28nm we should see somewhat higher clocks, along with better graphics.
That's not bad for $100 to $150 devices. LTE support is just the icing on the cake. Keep in mind that the Cortex A7 is ARM's most efficient 32-bit core, hence we expect nothing less from the Cortex A53.
The Cortex A57 conundrum
Speaking to CNET's Brooke Crothers, ARM executive vice president of corporate strategy Tom Lantzsch said the company was surprised by strong demand for 64-bit designs.
"Certainly, we've had big uptick in demand for mobile 64-bit products. We've seen this with our [Cortex] A53, a high-performance 64-bit mobile processor," Lantzch told CNET.
He said ARM has been surprised by the pace of 64-bit adoption, with mobile parts coming from Qualcomm, MediaTek and Marvell. He said he hopes to see 64-bit phones by Christmas, although we suspect the first entry-level products will appear much sooner.
Lantzsch points out that even 32-bit code will run more efficiently on 64-bit ARMv8 parts. As software support improves, the performance gains will become more evident.
But where does this leave the Cortex A57? It is supposed to replace the Cortex A15, which had a few teething problems. Like the A15 it is a relatively big core. The A15 was simply too big and impractical on the 32nm node. On 28nm it's better, but not perfect. It is still a huge core and its market success has been limited.
As a result, it's highly unlikely that we will see any 28nm Cortex A57 parts. Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 810 is the first consumer oriented A57 SoC. It is a 20nm design and it is coming later this year, just in time for Christmas as ARM puts it. However, although the Snapdragon 810 will be ready by the end of the year, the first phones based on the new chip are expected to ship in early 2015.
While we will be able to buy 64-bit Android (and possibly Windows Phone) devices before Christmas, most if not all of them will be based on the A53. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Consumers won't have to spend $500 to get a 64-bit ARM device, so the user base could start growing long before high-end parts start shipping, thus forcing developers and Google to speed up 64-bit development.
If rumors are to be believed, Google is doing just that and it is not shying away from small 64-bit cores. The search giant is reportedly developing a $100 Nexus phone for emerging markets. It is said to be based on MediaTek's MT6732 clocked at 1.5GHz. Sounds interesting, provided the rumour turns out to be true.
