An optical waveguide having a plurality of cores disposed in a common cladding provides an optical fiber with both a wide bandwidth, by minimizing modal dispersion, and a large aperture to enhance light-carrying capacity. Each of the cores is sized to support only the lowest order mode, HE11, and the intercore spacing is selected to achieve a required bandwidth. At the same time, the multiple cores provide a large aperture allowing a relatively large amount of light energy emitted from a noncoherent light source to be coupled into the optical fiber. An array factor Af is given which provides design criteria for the intercore spacing by providing an accurate calculation of the pulse spreading with a large number of cores beginning with a simple twin core fiber.
1. An optical fiber, comprising:
a plurality of cores, identical in cross section size and material, located in a common cladding, said cores being dimensioned and fabricated from such material so as to support only the lowest order modes which has the same propagation properties for the two independent states of polarization, but where each core of said array is spaced from adjacent cores at a distance just sufficient to decrease the light energy cross-talk between cores as a function of distance to satisfy a predetermined bandwidth requirement on modal dispersion, thereby providing the maximum light-carrying capacity consistent with the predetermined light information bandwidth.
2. An optical fiber, comprising:
a plurality of identical cores located in a common cladding, all of which are identical in cross section size and material, each core being demensioned and fabricated from such material so as to support only the lowest order mode, which has the same propagation properties for the two independent states of polarization but where each core of said array is spaced from adjacent cores at a distance just sufficient to decrease the light energy cross-talk between cores as a function of distance to satisfy a predetermined bandwidth requirement on modal dispersion, thereby providing the maximum light-carrying capacity consistent with the predetermined light information bandwidth.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to optical waveguide devices, and particularly to an optical waveguide having an array of single mode fiber cores positioned in a common cladding such that the optical channel has a particularly wide bandwidth and a large light-carrying capacity.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Optical waveguides have been known for many years and, with the advent of low loss glasses, devices incorporating optical waveguides have been employed in ever-increasing numbers, in many different fields, such as communications and monitors. An optical waveguide typically consists of a dielectric core fabricated from a glass, or the like, having a certain index of refraction, and this core is surrounded by a second material, also normally glass or the like, having a lower refractive index. This surrounding material is generally known as the cladding. A beam of light is guided by this composite structure so long as the refractive index of the material comprising the core exceeds the refractive index of the material forming the cladding. A light beam within the core is guided generally along the core axis by total internal reflection at the boundary between the core and cladding.
A number of different designs for optical waveguides have been proposed including the multimode step index profile, the single mode profile, and the multimode graded index profile. In the multimode step index design, the core typically has a relatively large diameter and is fabricated from a homogenous material having a high refractive index. The cladding is also fabricated from a homogenous material which has a sufficiently lower refractive index such that the difference between the refractive indices of the core material and cladding material is typically of the order of 10-2 to 10-1. Because the diameter of the core is large with respect to the wavelength of light, i.e. typically on the order of 50-500 μm, many modes exist in the waveguide when illuminated. Because each mode as it propagates through the waveguide will experience a slightly different delay, a condition known as modal dispersion occurs which increases the duration of a light pulse propagating through the waveguide and leads to a loss in high frequency information in the light signal.
In the single mode optical waveguide, the diameter of the core is typically less than 10 μm and the difference between the refractive indices of the core and the cladding is of the order of 10-3. As a result only the lowest order mode will be supported in the waveguide. Because of the small numerical aperture and small core diameter of the waveguide, only a small portion of the light emanating from an incoherent source will be coupled into the waveguide. In fact, with the typical light emitting diodes available at this time, the amount of energy coupled into the optical waveguide is on the order of 10-4.
The multimode graded index optical waveguide was developed to retain a high input coupling capability associated with a large numerical aperture and core diameter while at the same time attempting to minimize the modal dispersion losses associated with the propagation of a pulse having a number of modes, each of which propagates at a different velocity. The core of the waveguide is fabricated such that the core does not have a constant refractive index but decreases across the radius of the core with the axis of the core having the highest refractive index. Although there is considerably less modal dispersion in the graded index optical fiber when compared to the multimode step index optical fiber, there is still some dispersion because the gradient in index required for the axial rays is different from that required for the skewed rays. In addition, only a portion of the theoretical improvement in channel bandwidth has been realized because of manufacturing tolerances associated with the fabrication of a core having a core profile with a precisely graded refractive index.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an optical waveguide which has a greater bandwidth than currently available, and yet to provide sufficiently large aperture such that the optical waveguide couples a high percentage of energy emanating from a noncoherent source into the waveguide itself.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an optical waveguide which is particularly well suited to operating with low cost, inexpensive, noncoherent light sources, such as an LED, or the like, and to provide a broader bandwidth than has been heretofore possible while coupling a significant portion of the radiated light energy into the fiber.
A particular feature of the optical waveguide according to the present invention is to provide a multimode fiber having a number of cores in a single cladding forming an optical channel with less modal dispersion than heretofore possible while maximizing the amount of light energy that can be coupled into the optical channel. Furthermore, the spacing between the cores of the multicore array is selected to just reduce multipath dispersion below a desired limit so that the maximum packing fraction is obtained. The required spacing is of the order of a core diameter, therefore, a large packing fraction is realized.
It is yet another feature of the present invention to provide a wide bandwidth optical channel which is particularly well suited for use with monitoring devices, such as temperature sensors, so that a high degree of resolution is possible.

FIG. 5 is a graph showing the bandwidth of a particular multicore fiber according to the present invention for different core spacings.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is seen the basic components of many known systems which utilize conventional optical waveguides. All such systems include a light source 10, which may be an incoherent source, such as an LED or the like, or even a coherent source such as a laser, an optical waveguide 12 which forms an optical channel through which the light energy propagates, and a sensor 14 which responds to the energy impinging thereon. The light source 10 emits an energy beam, a portion of which is coupled through the waveguide 12 to the sensor 14 where the characteristics of the impinging energy are employed.
The bandwidth of the optical waveguide 12 is critical to the operation of a system in which it is employed regardless of whether it is a communication system or a monitoring system. The bandwidth of the optical waveguide in the former case is typically the major parameter which defines the overall capacity of the communication system and in the latter case is the major factor in system sensitivity. The reasons for the bandwidth limitation of conventional optical waveguides will be more apparent from the following discussion. The light source 10 emits a light pulse 16 having a certain pulse duration τ0 for transmission by the waveguide 12. The optical waveguide 12 includes a core 18 which is normally cylindrically shaped and fabricated from a glass or the like, and a cladding 20, also typically fabricated from glass or the like, which totally surrounds the core. A jacket (not shown) may be provided and would be constructed of, for example, plastic such as polyvinylchloride. The jacket positioned over the cladding for protection against scuffing and abrasion.
So long as the refractive index of the cladding 20 is greater than the refractive index of the core 18, the energy from the light pulse 16 will propagate through the waveguide 12. The number of distinct modes that will exist in the core 18 is a function of the refractive indices of both the core material and the cladding material, the radius of the core, and the wavelength of the light emitted by the light source 10. For a circular cross section for the core, the number of modes that can exist is determined by the value of the V parameter defined by: ##EQU1## where a is the core radius, λ is the light wavelength, n1 is the refractive index of the core, and n2 is the refractive index of the cladding. If V is less than 2.405 (the first zero of the Bessel function, τ0) then only the lowest order mode, known as the HE11 mode, can be supported. For values of V that are much larger than 2.405, this occurring when the diameter d of the core 18 is much larger or the difference between refractive indices of the core and that of the cladding is much greater, then many modes will be supported in the waveguide 12. The significance of the number of supported modes is that in the single mode cases, i.e. V less than 2.405, the waveguide experiences only chromatic dispersion which is relatively much smaller, whereas in the multimode case, that is V greater than 2.405, modal dispersion occurs which significantly limits the bandwidth of the optical waveguide.
The modal dispersion, that is the spreading of a light pulse in the waveguide 20 due to propagation in the different modes, can probably best be visualized by considering the nature of light propagation in the optical waveguide 12. Referring still to FIG. 1, when a pulse of light 16 with a pulse duration of τ0 travels through the optical waveguide 12, there is a transit time associated with the propagation of the light in a given mode. This transit time differs for the different modes in which the light is propagated. A mode is a distribution of light intensity and polarization which for a given wavelength of light propagates down the fiber at a well defined velocity. For the purposes of the present discussion, it is sufficient to note that the range of possible modal velocities is equivalent to the range obtained for the times required for different light rays to propagate down the fiber. The maximum possible difference in pathlengths of two distinct optical ray patterns is determined by the maximum angle that a ray can make with the guide axis and still be confined by the total internal reflection at the core-cladding interface. In other words, light incident on the end surface of the waveguide 12 in a direction with respect to the waveguide axis no greater than a certain angle θ0, indicated in the drawing by ray 24, would be confined within the core of the waveguide, whereas a beam incident on the end surface of the core at greater angles, such as along ray 26, would represent coupling losses. In addition, modal dispersion losses for high frequency information are due to the spreading of the pulse associated with the propagation of the different modes supported in the waveguide. This can be visualized as the difference in transit times of the shortest path in the core 18, i.e. along the axis of the core, versus the longest path, i.e. that of a beam incident along the ray 24, this path being that of the maximum angle for zig-zag rays that are guided by the waveguide through total internal reflection.
It should be noted that the width of the input pulse τ0 is small with respect to the modal dispersion τ such that the input pulse width, τ0, can in many situations be neglected and the system bandwidth is then defined by the modal dispersion, τ. The duration of the pulse as it emerges from the waveguide 12 is given by the following:
τ=(na L/c)Δ (2)
where c is the velocity of light in a vacuum, na is the average index of the sum of the refraction indices of the core and cladding divided by 2, and Δ is the normalized index difference or the difference between the refraction indices divided by the average index. A typical value for the modal dispersion τ for step index fibers used in the telecommunication field would be 50 nanoseconds per kilometer length of waveguide. This quantity translates into a bandwidth for the optical waveguide of 20 megahertz kilometer as follows:
Bandwidth≡1/τ (3)
As Mentioned the graded index fiber was developed to improve the bandwidth capability of the optical waveguide while still retaining the advantage associated with a large aperture core structure that supports multiple modes. In that the index of refraction of the core is highest along the core axis and decreases toward the cladding, modal dispersion losses are considerably less than with a step index waveguide. This can probably be visualized by considering the structure of FIG. 1, with a light beam entering the waveguide along a direction with respect to the core axis such as to have the maximum angle with respect to the core axis and still have total internal reflection, i.e. ray 24. Although this ray experiences a zig-zag path, which is now rounded as the ray approaches the core-cladding interface due to the gradient in refractive index, this ray has a longer physical path within the waveguide, but the major portion of this path is in a region of the core with a lower refractive index away from the core axis. At the same time, the ray that enters along the axis travels the shortest physical path but the path is along the axis of the core which has the highest refractive index. The net result is that the optical pathlengths presented to the respective rays are approximately equal where the optical pathlength is defined as the sum of the products of refractive index times the pathlength for each section of the path. However, there is still some dispersion, because the refractive index as a function of distance from the center of the core that is required to make the optical pathlengths for the rays which intersect the axis with different values of the angle θ equal, is different from the refractive index variation required to make the various spiral paths have the same optical pathlength. The spiral paths through the core do not intersect the core axis. Accordingly, the best theoretical value of τ that is reasonably achievable with a graded index core is greater than the value given by chromatic dispersion. In practice, because of the limited precision with which a core with a precisely graded refraction index can be fabricated, the reasonably achievable bandwidth of a graded index type of optical waveguide is a value for τ of 0.5 nanoseconds or a bandwidth of two gigahertz kilometer for light with a wavelength of 0.8 to 0.9 μm .
The wide band multimode optical waveguide of the present invention provides an optical bandwidth which is a significant improvement over that realizable with the currently available graded index type of waveguide. This bandwidth improvement is due primarily to the lower modal dispersion which results in a minimized spread in the light pulses propagating through the waveguide. The multicore array of the present invention located in a common cladding reduces the modal dispersion without restricting the light-carrying capacity of the waveguide as is the case with a single mode waveguide. The distance separating the cores in the array of the present invention is as small as possible to allow a maximum packing fraction while being sufficiently spaced apart to reduce the modal dispersion to acceptable levels. Each core is sized to be just small enough to support only the lowest order mode, the HE11 mode. As a pulse of light propagates along the axis of each single core in the array, about 20% of the Poynting flux in this lowest order mode is carried by the cladding. Because of this relatively small penetration of the flux into the cladding, a relatively close spacing can be tolerated, and a consequent beneficial high-packing fraction can be achieved, without introducing excessive cross-talk into adjacent cores which would increase the modal dispersion.
Referring now to FIG. 2, there is seen one embodiment of a system using a multicore optical waveguide according to the present invention. The particular embodiment includes a plurality of cores 40 positioned in a convenient geometric configuration in a cladding 42. A jacket 44 may be provided and would surround the cladding 42. The delay experienced by a light pulse propagating through this optical waveguide is a function of the individual core size, spacing, physical arrangement of the array and the material characteristics. If all of the cores are of equal diameter, formed from a material with the same refractive index and the spacings between adjacent cores in the array are equal, then the interaction between the cores can readily be analyzed by considering only the interaction between adjacent cores.
An incoherent quasi-monochromatic source 46 directing a light pulse at a waveguide having an array of the type shown in FIG. 2 will excite a combination of the lowest order HE11 modes on the different cores 40, which propagates along the axis of the fiber to the detector 48.
To further analyze the modes of the composite waveguide made up of separate identical cores each just small enough to support only the lowest order HE11 mode, consider the case of only two such cores, as shown in FIG. 3. The four normal modes which can be guided for the twin core fiber are plane polarized with transverse E-field aligned parallel or perpendicular to a line connecting the centers of the cores. Referring additionally to FIG. 3, the four modes comprise two orthogonally polarized pairs, a symmetric pair, FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, and an anti-symmetric pair, FIG. 3C and FIG. 3D. The specific pair that will be supported in the adjacent cores is dependent upon the polarization of the light incident on the end surface of the cores. For example, if the illumination is polarized normal to a line connecting the center of the cores, then the modes shown in FIG. 3A or FIG. 3C are excited. The choice as to whether the symmetric mode, FIG. 3A, or anti-symmetric mode, FIG. 3C, is excited depends on the relative phase of the light incident on the two cores. If the illumination incident on the pair of cores is of random phase excitation of unpolarized light, as would be the case with an unpolarized incoherent light source, then both the symmetric modes and the anti-symmetric modes of both polarizations are excited in the cores. If only one of the two cores is excited by the light pulse with one polarization, then both the symmetric mode and the anti-symmetric mode of that polarization are excited in an in-phase state with essentially equal amplitudes. The symmetric and the anti-symmetric mode in the two adjacent cores have different phase velocities such that at periodic intervals along the waveguide, the two modes will be exactly out-of-phase with the apparent effect that the light energy will have all transferred to the second core. Intermediate of these out-of-phase points all of the light energy will appear to be in the other of the two adjacent cores. Of course, between these two extremes, there will be some light in both cores. In effect, this modal interference can be visualized as a beat phenomena which produces a spatial interference that can be viewed as an energy exchange between the two adjacent cores. Modal dispersion results because of the difference in velocity of propagation of the symmetric mode versus the anti-symmetric mode. The closer the cores, the stronger the interaction, the more rapidly as a function of waveguide distance will the energy cross-talk between cores, and the greater the modal dispersion. If both cores are uniformly illuminated in an in-phase condition of one polarization, then only the single symmetric mode of that polarization will be launched and no modal dispersion will be present because only one mode is excited. However, because of the inherent nature of unpolarized natural light sources, both symmetry modes of both polarizations will normally be excited.
To further describe the dispersion in a multicore optical waveguide constructed in accordance with the present invention, consider the propagation characteristics of a waveguide having for a given mode a phase refractive index of np and a group refractive index of ng. The phase refractive index is the ratio of the velocity of light in vacuum compared to the phase velocity of the propagation in a given mode. The group refractive index ng is the ratio of the velocity of light in vacuum compared to the group velocity supported by a given waveguide mode. The angular phase shift per unit length can then be calculated by the equation:
β=k np (4)
ng =∂β/∂k (5)
where k=2π divided by the free space wavelength. Both the size of each core and the spacing between adjacent cores are important. The manner for determining these parameters will now be described. Initially, the wavelength of light λ which will be propagating through the waveguide is selected. Then the materials for the core and cladding are selected so that both the refractive index of the core n1 and the refractive index of the cladding n2 are known and have a relatively small difference, i.e. n1 -n2 equal approximately 10-2 to 10-3. Next, with reference to equation (1) V is set to be equal to 2.400 and the equation is solved for 2a which is the diameter of each core in the array. Here it should be noted that it is desirable to have the core as large as possible, i.e. V as close as possible to 2.405 but still less than 2.405, in order to enhance the light-carrying capability per unit area and to reduce coupling to the greatest extent for a given intercore spacing.
Next, referring to FIG. 4, there is seen a plot of the array factor, Af, versus the number of cores in a multicore fiber. This graph in essence indicates the modal dispersion that will exist as a function of the number of cores. The array factor Af then represents the amount of modal dispersion that can be expected starting with the simplest case of just two cores and extending upwards to one hundred cores. The modal dispersion of a twin core optical waveguide can be described in terms of the group refractive index ng M. This quantity is simply the ratio of the velocity of light to the group velocity for mode M. Let ng.sup.� denote the group refractive indices of the symmetric and anti-symmetric modes of a twin core fiber, polarized normal to the line of centers. Similar results are obtained for the orthogonal polarization. With δ equal to (1-n1 2 /n2 2), the pulse duration after traveling a distance I in the multicore fiber for excitation with a much shorter duration pulse is given by ##EQU2## where
F(V, d/a)=U2 /V3 �K0 [W d/a]/K1 2 (W), (7) ##EQU3## The quantities K0 and K1 are modified Hankel functions of orders 0 and 1 respectively. The factors G1 and G2 depend only on the material parameters and not the relative core spacing and are given by ##EQU4##
The foregoing procedure will now be illustrated for a typical case. Initially, consider the case where the wavelength of light propagating through the core has the value, λ=0.9 μm. The core is to be fabricated from pure fused silica and the cladding is to be fabricated from 3 mole percent B2 O3 -97 mole percent SiO2 so that the numerical aperture equal √n1 2 -n2 2 equals 0.06. By referring to equation (1) with V=2.400, the core radius can be calculated for the HE11 mode.
An array of about 90 cores is selected to have the desired light-carrying capability and, with reference to FIG. 4, it can be seen that the array factor Af for this number of cores is approximately four; thus, the modal dispersion is anticipated to be four times as large as for the fiber with only two cores. Referring next to Equation (6), with the array factor Af set equal to 4.3, the modal dispersion associated with an array of 90 cores is now calculated as a function of core spacing d/a. This result is shown in FIG. 5. As is seen, the bandwidth is given as a function of core spacing.
In the illustration of this invention given above, an array of circular cores with low dispersion in the group velocity for a single core by virtue of the core being small enough to support only the lowest order HE11 mode, were put close enough together to give a relatively large filling factor for light incident on the end of the fiber, but with the spacing between cores just great enough to provide a predetermined bandwidth which could for large spacing approach the bandwidth characteristic of a single core. The teaching of this invention includes the use of arrays of cores other than ones with circular cross-sections just small enough to support only the lowest order mode. The invention applies to these other cores in which the light carrying capacity is increased by the use of arrays in which the spacing between cores is just large enough to give the desired bandwidth, this desired bandwidth having less than that associated with a single core, and in this way obtaining a fiber with a large light carrying capacity, a large filling factor for indicent light and a broad bandwidth. An additional embodiment of the present invention may utilize arrays of cores of different sizes and material properties, such as refractive index, but where the group velocities are the same for the modes which can propagate in the different cores in the array and the spacing between cores is just large enough to give the maximum filling factor for incident light consistent with the required bandwidth.
Numerous manufacturing techniques are currently available for the fabrication of multicore optical waveguides and such techniques would be suitable for the manufacture of a wide band optical waveguide whose parameters were selected in accordance with the present invention. In one such technique known as the rod and tube method, a core glass is clad with a glass of lower refractive index. The diameter of this core-cladding combination at this point is about one to ten millimeters. These clad rods are then placed in a tube. The tube is then heated and a vacuum is applied to the interior of the tube causing it to collapse on the clad rods. The resulting composite preform can then be drawn down to the point where the cores are the appropriate size.
Although the invention has been shown and described with respect to the preferred embodiment thereof, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and omissions in the form and detail thereof may be made therein without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention.

Rangers and Flyers swap minor leaguers
Jul 1, 2013, 6:32 PM EDT
The Rangers and Flyers aren't ever known for trying to help each other out, but that didn't stop them from swapping minor league depth players.
New York sent forward Kris Newbury to Philadelphia in exchange for defenseman Danny Syvret. Each player has their own note of significance to their credit.
Newbury took Brad Richards' spot in the Rangers lineup in the playoffs when then coach John Tortorella decided Richards wasn't getting it done. In the three playoff games he saw this season, he had no points and two penalty minutes. He spent most of his season with the Connecticut Whale in the AHL. As a rugged forward with the ability to handle his own in a fight, he fits the Flyers' M.O. pretty well.
Syvret adds some defensive depth to a Rangers team that needs it. His claim to fame is that he scored the Flyers' first and only Winter Classic goal in the 2010 game against Boston. He spent all of last season with the Adirondack Phantoms in the AHL and did fairly well scoring six goals and adding 34 assists. His downfall? He was a minus-21 on a poor Phantoms squad.

- killerpgh - Jul 1, 2013 at 8:42 PM
99% sure Rosehill is a forward and his has a new 2 year contract that starts this year. Rosehill and Rinaldo signed 2 year extensions on the same day.

- jaredphi - Jul 2, 2013 at 8:59 AM
Not for long…the last year of his (Shelley) contract was this past season. So, he's good as gone.
- cameltoews - Jul 1, 2013 at 7:31 PM
The flyers fan should be happy. I liked newbury a lot on the rangers. Plays with energy, protects his teammates, and puts up good numbers in Hartford. I always wanted him to get a full year. I think he is a useful player.
- cameltoews - Jul 1, 2013 at 8:19 PM
Newbury is a forward
- moarjam - Jul 1, 2013 at 8:43 PM
Newbury is great in the AHL. In the NHL… Not so much. It seemed every time he was called up he would get one shift in the 1st, take a penalty and then not see the ice again. Anyway this move will have little to no effect on either teams big club.
- Habib Marwan - Jul 1, 2013 at 8:50 PM
i know that newbury is a forward but i was wrong about rosehill i thought he was a d-man … and i had no clue that he signed an extension , thanks for clarification killerpgh, my bad.

Torts was a prospect killer. As a Devils fan, I loved that I didn't have to worry a out Kreider, Zuccarello and Del Zotto ever making an impact. But AV should be better. Tortorella also ruined Newbury as well.
But guys like Stepan and McDonough thrived under Torts. So he ain't all that bad. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
- moarjam - Jul 1, 2013 at 9:37 PM
Newbury joined the rangers as a 29 year old. Was never a prospect. Torts didn't ruin him. He's just not an NHL player.
I'm far from a torts fan but to call him a prospect killer is just wrong. Stephan, mcd, hagelin, stralman, Boyle, prust all developed under torts.
He may have been a dbag but he did mold some good players.
- barkar942 - Jul 1, 2013 at 9:42 PM
950003- didn't you have some teachers in school that you really loved and learned from and had fun in class, and then you had some that you hated because they were tough, but you were proud of that A or B you got cause he made you earn it?
That's what you have with Torts. Some pupils thrive under a "earn it" system, and others (DelZotto in his second year, for example) cave into the pressure and fall apart.
After DelZ's demotion, Zuch's trip to the KHL and Kreider learning more of the Ranger's general play, they all seemed to improve.
Perhaps in their "maturation" process that Torts talked about, they learned to understand that Torts wasn't taking out things personally on players, he was not happy with their lack of performance.
Just imagine if your job was in high finance, and when the light flashed, your job was to push the button. If the light flashed and you were too busy texting your friend and didn't push the button and cost your boss tons of money, it wouldn't matter how much your boss liked you, you didn't do your job and you got demoted or canned.
(By the way- Nice job by Lou to get Schneider. Now he should get Ribero to go with Kovy. That would really help the Devils up front in my opinion.)
- 950003cups - Jul 1, 2013 at 11:26 PM
I see your point. Makes sense in a different angle.
You're argument falls under the "can't please them all" category.
Yeah, Lou did well by his fans. Hope we get someone to play with Kovalchuk. Idea is to replace Parise. Not specifically in style, but just to spread the attention.

Blah blah iPad 2 blah blah

"Steve Jobs, by the way, looked good."
Only bit of the article I cared about. Glad to hear it.
I'm fairly certain that my cousin had *exactly* this toy when he was a kid, or the early 90s equivalent. He's pretty skinny, and I was too. It was eating all the pies at college that made me porky, not a toy that I barely remember.
Oh, and kids don't buy their own food, retards. So unless the parents are somehow being affected by this toy, your argument is bullshit.
Beginning of 2009 to beginning of 2011 is two years, not three.
Where's the pedant icon...
I thought Surface was a fantastic looking thing, and then nothing whatsoever came of it except a bit of cheesy product placement in CSI.
...all the rumours that suggest the hardware will be brought up to current iPhone standards. That just makes sense. But carbon fibre? High DPI display? Not sure about those. Such additions would cut into their massive profit margins, and it's not like they can price the iPad any higher and keep a straight face.
I thought that was a fan of iAudio's kit?
They're not gonna like you for that
See title
The end user, being most probably ignorant of how a webpage works, will blame Firefox, because it works just fine in Exploder.
Wait for it, wait for it...
"<phew> For a moment there I thought you were suggesting we go upstairs and shag Jesus!! Must alter the res of this monitor - it's blurring out full stops!"
Slightly worse, I nearly misspelled it Jess, which isn't a problem until you consider that the only Jess I know is my cousin.
Nintendildo! It's so obvious!
I feel stupid for not having thought of that wordmangle earlier.
Sod the games console, go upstairs and shag. Jesus.
I always thought the Wii MP controller in its big rubber sheath looked more like a sex toy than the Move. Especially in black. When I got my black Wii, I almost immediately started referring to it as the Wii Dildo.
Doesn't the Wiimote have a vibe motor too...
Will you Opera fanboys please get over the fact that some of us like Firefox? On the desktop, I prefer the Firefox browser, so Firefox is the browser I want to sync with. Opera Mobile is an excellent browser, but I do not use Opera on the desktop, so its sync capabilities are useless to me.
Also, Firefox syncs more than bookmarks. Being able to turn my desktop off, fire up my phone and reopen the tab I was just reading is very, very useful.
Beta 5 is a welcome and vast improvement for Android, less so for Maemo. The Maemo version works, but seriously chugs.
This beta does fix one very important bug - in previous versions, when you moved the app to the SD card, it didn't move your user profile, so that would eventually fill your free space with cached content. When you upgrade to beta 5, refresh the SD card install and that will be fixed. The install seems smaller in this version too, down to around 12MB on my phone, before user data.
Beta 5 on Android, from using it this morning, is also a LOT faster than previous versions. As fast as the native browser? Nope. But fast enough to use, and if you value Firefox's functionality (sync is worth it for me), it's a nice little system.
BTW, the tone of the article, especially the headline, seems to make out at first like this is a final release. I know you mention it's a beta, but the headline and intro don't come across that way. Just my 2p. Anyway, recommended upgrade if you're with the betas already, and if you haven't used them yet because they just chuffed way too much (and I agree, they did), then give this one a shot.
...yours is the most rabid post on this thread...
And has it occurred to you that people are judging them on their products? Perhaps it's just that certain of their products aren't very good.
The iPad is the least impressive supergadgety thing I've used in yonks. For all its size and the pretty screen, there is little escaping the fact that it is a very large, very expensive iPod. And I don't like iPods much to begin with.
And I have seen 5x more Kindles on the train to work than I have iPads. Actually, I see at least twice as many actual working honest-to-God-I'm-trying-to-get-something-done-here-turn-your-fucking-music-down-your-Apple-branded-headphones-are-incredibly-shit laptops on the train as I do iPads. My 17" brick included.
"Eh? People do use Nokia - more so than any other phone company. And indeed, it would be refreshing to see Nokia for once, rather than advertising for Apple yet again. Or do you mean there's something different about phones to coke, and you'd object to seeing an Iphone or whatever there just as much?"
I was actually thinking more along the lines of plausibility. Are the filmmakers seriously trying to tell me that NOKIA are running the planetary communications network in the 23rd Century? That time when currency may/may not have been abolished, depending on your continuity. When we have one global government, no war, universal literacy, and capitalism is essentially dead?
The problem with product placement like that is that it just doesn't fit in with the environment. Seeing a Nokia in a Star Trek film is like seeing one of the soldiers in Braveheart brandishing an MP5. It's really jarring and stupid and pulls you out of the story.
But as I said, there are many and better reasons to hate Star Trek 11.
I don't mind products being in a film if they're just there. If someone is in a movie drinking a Coke, fine. People drink Coke, this is ordinary. But there is definitely a line to cross. Seeing a Nokia in a Star Trek film, for example, though there are many, many other reasons to loathe Star Trek 11.
As for Apple, I remember what they did to Blade Trinity. Now THAT was blatant!
"Ooh, I just love killing vampires while listening to my iPod!" BASTARDS.
You were wrong!
Fresh install I did last week had 200MB of updates since the ISO was last refreshed. And this isn't a fresh install, it's an update.
Now if we're going to talk fresh installs, I installed an XP machine the other week and after SP3 it still had 90 updates to run. A Win7 machine typically has 50 updates after install, and that's long before installing any actual useful software, which a Linux install comes with out of the box.
In case of system failures/other major screw ups.
I think it was so ridiculous that my mind simply erased it. I guess we're screwed either way. The wonders of a modern, enlightened age.
How ridiculous is it for a drawing of a nude person to be tasteful, but a photo of the same person to be obscene? This pathetic imposition of morality from certain US-based companies is starting to grate...
A resource hungry bloatware music app that you have to install in order to update your phone. Hmmm, where have I heard that before...
I could be a dick and point out that you can already enable this kind of behaviour in Firefox with one of a number of add-ons, but I would rather ask why the hell you would want this kind of behaviour in the first place. Hiding the URL bar for inexperienced users is just begging for a phishing attack.
Going to have another bash at getting it on my N900. Is it a Debian-based system again?
"Tablets will never be anything more than that."
Tablets have been more than that for years. It's just that tits like you think that Apple invented them, and that a glorified picture frame is worth £600.
Tapping on the UI is not intended to bring up a menu. Just like on Maemo and Android, to select an item, you tap it, and to bring up a context menu for an item, you hold on it, which is exactly what he does in the vid.
Can I still tap a few buttons and bring up Bash? Seriously, that's like the best thing about having a Maemo device - underneath it all, it's Debian. If I can have a panel on there that tails our site logs off to one side of what I'm doing, you've sold me. I'll buy two.
And no, Android users, don't tell me you can do the same. The SSH clients I've tried on my Desire are all crap. The best multitasking system I've used is Maemo, and this also looks better for the way I work.
"And you know Apple: they don't comment on unreleased produts, or on rumors and speculation."
They merely fuel the existing rumours and speculation, also known as free publicity from the pants-wetting fanbois.
Die Hard 4 was an atrocity. Why can't people know when to stop?
"...all of which are rarely used because of compatibility issues"
I do believe that was sarcasm on AC's part. Unless you're Opera fans, in which case you may continue with the Great Crusade.
El Reg never write articles about Opera Betas!
That Five News can get worse!
And six people have probably posted it already:
Maemo's a great system, but they dropped it like a hot brick.
MeeGo was looking like it could be really good, but we all know what's going to happen there now.
Guess I'm back to Android for my next phone. :-(
<<< Yes, that is a black helicopter, honest, and not a well-endowed mosquito.
...a bug that only affects unpatched software, if you've deliberately made the system weak enough for it to work, and it still couldn't do anything catastrophic to the system, or spread a worm.
Excuse me while I panic.
See title
Going to get this downloaded on my N900 right away. There's very little that I miss from my other Android phone, but the few bits I do will be ported over lickety-split.
"I assume the other apps dipped into the H.264 stream that the BBC supply for iOS devices. Everyone else is now locked out of that since certain client certificates shipped only with those devices are required."
Actually no. The Beeb got rid of the app from the Market, but I guess the API was already too well established, and locking it to devices would get the Beeb in trouble very quickly. BeebPlayer still works! Assuming you used ASTRO or similar to back up the *.apk... ;-)
Damn it, I just bought this keyboard!
Granted, the family trying to push an accident caused (it seems) by inattention or inebriation onto the place where it happened is the kind of idiocy you would expect from grieving relatives, and the reason policy should never be formed on the opinion of the deceased's mother (or in this case, grandmother).
And, granted, falling off something, whilst very easy, is not the most macho way to die - that position is obviously reserved for suffering a heartattack machine-gunning zombies to death while a gaggle of sexually curious schoolgirls suck you dry.
All that said, are you aware that as a result of this incident someone is dead? Not a Neo Nazi, a Tory MP, or some other group everyone despises, like smug Opera users, just some dude like you and me.
Well not like me, obviously. I'm some kind of mutant, it seems.
It's Monday morning and my train has been cancelled because some arse has stolen cable on the line. This is getting to be way too regular.
Embedding text in a webpage is hardly difficult.
Converting books to webpages is child's play.
Making it so that you cannot then copy. save, redistribute, or otherwise dick around with the webpage is very difficult indeed.
<<< Maybe I should have used this icon.
For example, if your company logo is fruit-based, and you're well in with the journalistic media at large...
That's going to be hilarious. The 360 wouldn't have coped with the first game without some toning down or bits being ripped out, so God only knows what the second one will be like. With any luck it won't end up like Deus Ex on the PS2...
Friend of mine is the manager of a store that buys and sells games/consoles/whatever, PS3s included. He's been telling me that some of the older, fat PS3s have been bricking with this update applied. Any truth to that?
So while the rest of the world is condemning Mubarak + co's handling of the riots, US lawmakers are studying the conflict to see if they can learn any lessons in oppression. Sure, this may have been stewing for several years, but the timing is questionable at best.
Wonder if one of these "cyber emergencies" will suddenly manifest itself this year...

Ever Heard of Steinhatchee?
... guy in front of us whipped his truck around with a lot of gravel spraying from a heavy foot on the accelerator, and I prayed he was also heading for the bridge to Steinhatchee. Turns out I chose wisely after we had wound our way behind him through potholed streets lined with rusty single wide trailers and that had hopefully seen better days when they were factory fresh back in the 70s.

... Stephanie, thanks for the help with the information and the decision not to use the boat towing guy to do the work. After talking with the Cummins mechanic on the phone, he had us check to see if there was a crack in the manifold and, sure enough, unfortunately there was. If I was home, I'd probably be able to get the thing taken out and welded, but here, that is more hassle than it is worth. So I ordered a new one. The amazing thing to me is that ...

Endangered orcas now safer from planned seismic survey

Maryland monkey comes home
In December a judge ordered the return of Armani, a capuchin monkey, to the home of Rockville, Md., resident Elyse Gazewitz. Armani had been in custody at a zoo since May, when he was seized after an animal sanctuary employee called authorities to report Gazewitz's possession of the monkey. The judge found that Armani should have been returned to Gazewitz after police dropped charges against her for possessing an illegal monkey in city limits.

Rat in the kitchen THE Comic voice behind latest Disney cartoon hero
June 15, 2007
By MIKE DANAHEY STAFF WRITER
Courier News OnLine
It can be a pretty good deal being a rat in the kitchen, especially if that rodent is the hero in an upcoming Disney/Pixar flick.
Patton Oswalt gives a voice to Remy, the creature in question, in Ratatouille , set to open Friday, June 29. Sneak previews will be showing at some theaters Saturday, June 16, including a 7 p.m. screening at Classic Cinemas Charlestowne 18, 3740 E Main St. in St. Charles.
The rat can cook, which is not necessarily a good career choice for a member of a species historically known for spreading a plague. But fate brings him to one of Paris' finest restaurants, where he befriends a garbage boy, Linguini, who takes Remy under his hat. Hilarity ensues and life lessons are learned as the two become culinary kings.
Patton Oswalt is best known for his role as the dorky Spence in the long-running TV sitcom "King of Queens."
The movie is written and directed by Brad Bird, the Academy Award winner behind The Incredibles . Oswalt said he got the part after Bird heard his first CD and said, "That's the voice I want."
Oswalt recorded his work in fewer than a dozen sessions for what is expected to be a box office hit, then a perennial kid DVD favorite. Though he was encouraged to ad lib, "the script was so tight I just read what was on the page," Oswalt said. "It was really fun. It's a Brad Bird movie. What more can I say?"
Oswalt said he improvises on stage, working fresh comedy material into his act nightly. He will perform Tuesday at Lakeshore Theater, 3175 N. Broadway, Chicago, sharing the bill with Janeane Garofalo. On the monthlong tour he's doing press junkets by day and stand-up at night.
Oswalt also will be seen later this year in a movie from the creators of Comedy Central's Reno 911. Balls of Fury is a screwball comedy starring Christopher Walken and set in a world of martial arts, espionage and competitive ping pong.
If you're only familiar with Oswalt from his role as the dorky Spence on TV's King of Queens , the show is for an 18 and older crowd. And Oswalt's material can be political, as per his rant about the president bringing on the Apocalypse on the Rock Against Bush CD/DVD from the last election cycle.
These days, though, while not a big fan of this administration, "picking on Bush now is like picking on (the band) Creed," Oswalt said. "Everybody already knows they're terrible. Nobody at this point is saying give him a break."

Figes's themes of the Russian revolution as a tragedy for the Russian people as a whole and for the millions of individuals who lost their lives to the brutal forces it unleashed make sense of events for a new generation of students of Russian history. Sympathy for the charismatic leaders and ideological theorizing regarding Hegelian dialectics and Marxist economics--two hallmarks of much earlier writing on the Russian revolution--are banished from these clear-eyed, fair-minded pages of A People's Tragedy. The author's sympathy is squarely with the Russian people. That commitment, together with the benefit of historical hindsight, provides a standpoint Figes take full advantage of in this masterful history. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This is certainly an unrealistic way to portray history.
While the length and subject matter of this book is somewhat daunting, Figes presents this history in a highly readable fashion without skimping on fascinating detail.
After you read this book you will have begun to have a glimmer of the answer to that question.

Texans return to practice, deal with damage to homes
Mario Williams dodged downed trees to get out of his neighborhood and worried about the safety and security of his home as he left for practice with a tree splayed on one end of it.
He and the rest of the Houston Texans returned to practice Tuesday for the first time since Hurricane Ike, trying to concentrate on football when most didn't have electricity and many were dealing with significant damage to their homes.
"I feel very lucky," said Williams, the top overall pick in 2006. "My area is very bad. There's tons of trees that are down, lots of trees that fell through houses, but thank goodness no one was injured."
Williams said a tree crashed into his house during the storm, but he's still living there despite the damage and lack of electricity.
"It's really difficult, not just for myself, but for everyone," he said. "You've got to go work and you've got to make a living. But at the same time you're thinking: 'I hope my place is still all right."
The Texans had been off since Thursday night. They returned to work Tuesday on their practice field across the street from Reliant Stadium, whose retractable roof lost five pieces in the storm allowing large chunks of debris to fall into it.
They had a more than hour-long workout in the shadow of the damaged stadium where dozens of 18-wheelers lined up to prepare to fan out and distribute food and supplies to areas that were ravaged in the storm.
Defensive tackle Travis Johnson's home was destroyed in the hurricane. He lives in a suburb near the home of Williams' mother, whose roof was torn off during Ike.
"I lost the shingles first and then the water started coming in before my ceiling collapsed," he said. "I lost stuff. I lost a lot. But, you don't lose anything when you've still got your family."
Tight end Owen Daniels' home suffered extensive damage from Ike, with the ceiling in one room collapsing. Surprisingly he never lost power and despite its damage, his home became a refuge this weekend for teammates looking to escape from the sweltering heat.
Coach Gary Kubiak was encouraged by the workout on Tuesday and is trying to balance the need for his team to prepare for this weekend's game with concern for players and their families.
"Our families come first and we have to evaluate the situation with each player's family, each coach's family and do everything we can to put them in the best possible environment so they are comfortable and they can come up here and do their work," he said. "It's a juggling act right now but a lot of people are working extremely hard to make it work."
Andre Johnson's home was spared major damage in the storm, but he was without power until Monday night. Now that he has electricity, he's invited his teammates to hang out at his house until their service is restored.
Johnson, who dealt with several hurricanes growing up in Miami, said he was surprised by the extent of damage in the city.
"It was worse than I thought it would be," he said. "After the hurricane was over I just got in my truck and rode around to look at some of the things. I think the most shocking thing was when I saw pieces of the stadium missing off the roof. You wouldn't expect it to happen to the stadium."
Texans owner Bob McNair said getting back to football was a welcome respite from the events of the past few days.
"It certainly is for me," he said. "I'm tired of sitting around the house and feeling sorry for myself and the fact that we don't have power and we have trees crashed across the front of the house and all that sort of thing."
"We just have to get on with it and it's nice to get out here and start thinking about football and sort of get away from some of the other every day problems. That's one of the benefits of sports."
The Texans travel to face the Titans on Sunday after moving last weekend's game with Baltimore to Nov. 9. General manager Rick Smith said he's gotten advice on how to deal with his team in the wake of the hurricane from something of an expert on the subject.
"I've got Mickey Loomis on my speed dial," Smith said of the Saints general manager. "Obviously they have experienced it, so I've actually been talking to Mickey over the last couple of weeks about lessons that they learned, things that they would do differently and how we can try to approach our situation to try and work through it."
The Saints played all of their games away from the city after they were displaced by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Four games were played at LSU, three in San Antonio and one in East Rutherford, N.J., against the New York Giants.
The Texans are hoping that repairs to their damaged stadium can be completed in time for their next home game against Indianapolis on Oct. 5.
Johnson knows the Texans face a tough road in playing 15 straight games after their bye was moved to last weekend to accommodate the change in the schedule because of the hurricane. He hopes the team can fight through this and become an inspiration to the area as it recovers.
"I think we could be a bright spot for the city," he said. "A lot of people are going through tough times and maybe us going out winning games could make a lot of people around here happy."

How Not to write Bad FanficHow Not to Write Bad FanfictionHow Not to write Bad Fanfic6 years ago in Writing More Like This
A collection of pet peeves and lessons learned the hard way.
There's a lot of bad fanfiction out there. Everybody knows it. But that doesn't mean that fanfiction is inherently bad. I've written my share of fanfics. I've written horrid Mary Sues, left good ideas unplotted until they snowballed and avalanched away into terribleness, and forgotten plots entirely and so had to abandon fics. In writing them, I've learned a lot. I've grown as . storyteller. I've learned how to plot, how to portray characters consistenly, and I've improved in my basic language skills. So now, I'm going to record those lessons here so you won't have to make them yourself before you start cranking out the good stuff. Needless to say, these are simply a list of guidelines that I've found work for me.
Lesson 1) Your readers read fanfiction for the official characters.
People read fanfic for much the same reason they write it: they like a show. They w

There are a lot of novice writers out there, including those who are still debating whether to write or not, so I'm here to provide the basic rules for good Fanfiction. Why am I making this? I've read way too many stories written so poorly that it's driven me insane. So for those of you who want to avoid people writing bad reviews, or just simply worried if your story sounds good, then follow these simple rules and you'll be fine. (As a warning, I do get a little testy in this so forgive me if I sound angry…which I do)
#1 For the love of all that is good fanfiction, DO NOT USE IM-SPEAK!!! Things like: omg, lol, ttyl, thx, u, u're, l8r, brb, and all of the others. Refrain from your texting habits! People want to read a story, not something a second grader who can't spell wrote. Along with this, don't use smileys! Yes I have seen XD in a story before…i
