Wow, this is really "full whine" mode in this article
Phoronix: Northern Islands & Fermi Busted On Open-Source
Even with the likely release of the Linux 3.0 kernel, open-source graphics drivers continue to be a big problem for the Linux desktop. While they have improved a lot in recent years, for many Linux users they can cause horrific headaches. Recently it was mentioned on Phoronix that Intel Sandy Bridge is in bad shape for Ubuntu 11.04 and that it even broke upstream in Linux 2.6.39, but Intel's far from being the only driver experiencing a choppy boat ride...
Wow, this is really "full whine" mode in this article
yet another "whine" article about open source graphic drivers.
I wonder when the usual "via still has not commited to OSS as promised" and "intel poulsbo mess" article start to appear again.
Duh? It was committed so people could test it and file bug reports, so that it can work on all the hardware it needs to support. It's not worth whining when something is broken by a commit to an unstable git repository. Just file a bug report so it can be fixed, instead of writing an article about it and uploading a YouTube video, which accomplished nothing.When testing out the Nouveau kernel tree for its brand new Fermi FUC microcode replacement, that too was bugged up. As of this morning, on the GeForce GTX 460 it's not working right and there's just lots of PRUNK140 messages being emitted. For better or worse, at least this Nouveau code isn't being primed until the Linux 2.6.41/3.1 release.
Perhaps borked graphics drivers give us time to look at the kernel power regression again..?!
Here's a thought. How about doing something useful about it and filing a bug report[1]? There are other boards with the same chipset as the one you tested (one of which I own), that actually work quite fine. We'd probably learn something useful about fermi in the process of fixing it, that'd actually benefit everyone..
I'm not even sure I understand why the open-source video drivers are so important to people, and why so much effort is spent on developing them. The proprietary drivers, though imperfect, are the far better option for almost all people (at least for nvidia, can't speak for all the others). There should really only be a tiny portion of users that use the open-source drivers, maybe for legal reasons or whatever.
There are so many other areas in the linux software domain that need to move forward; it seems like a waste to spend time on these open-source drivers.

- "Everyone wants to pay homage to a dying legend, everyone wants the glamour of a bygone age."
- ―Jon Gravelli
Jon Gravelli (1923 - 2008) was a character in Grand Theft Auto series that appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto IV. He was the Don of the Gambetti crime family in Liberty City from 1978 until 2008. He was hospitalized for three years due to a serious illness.
Life up to 2008
Jon Gravelli was born in Meadow Hills, Dukes, Liberty City in 1923. His criminal record dates back to 1940, when he was first arrested for possesion of gambling records at only 17 years old. Rigorous criminal activity continued through his twenties, including car theft, attempted murder and bribery, though his LCPD record states that he had never been in prison.
Gravelli started a Mob-war against the Ancelotti crime family in 1972, after almost killing Giovanni Ancelotti's uncle.
Gravelli took charge as the Don of the Gambetti Family in 1978 after the death of Sonny Cangelosi, when Gravelli was 55. The Gambetti Family became the most powerful of Liberty City's Mafia families under Gravelli's leadership. He had a son, Jon Gravelli, Jr., who was an associate of the Gambetti's but was disowned after he developed a cocaine addiction.
In his late sixties, during the early 1990s, he was arrested twice again and beat both cases. Since 2005, he was a patient in Schottler Medical Center. He was charged with racketeering in 2006 and was awaiting trial - as many other organized crime figures had done, people believed Gravelli was faking his illnesses to avoid trial, but were proven wrong when he stayed hospitalized for his remaining years.
Sometime in the late 1990s to the early 2000s Garvelli start to work with United Liberty Paper company, and became a good friend with one of the company's senior agent.
Events of GTA IV
In 2008, Gravelli was introduced to Niko Bellic via cellphone through his contact at United Liberty Paper who is referred to as a "mutual friend". Jon Gravelli first hired Niko to provide security for a politician from Russian gangsters who wanted to whack him. Niko and the convoy are ambushed on a back street they survive the ambush. Next, Jon ordered Niko to whack Korean Mob connected Kim Young-Guk for running a counterfeiting operation. In Liquidize the Assets, he hired Niko to destroy the Ancelottis' drug vans in a warehouse. It was through his and U.L Paper's assistance that Niko is able to have Darko Brevic delivered to him from Bucharest.
A news report on the radio and internet (after the completion of GTA IV's storyline) states that Gravelli passed away peacefully in his sleep, prior to standing trial. It also appears after the completion of The Ballad of Gay Tony's storyline.
It's unknown who became the Don of Gambetti crime family after Gravelli's death.
LCPD Database record
Surname: Gravelli
First Name: Jon
Age: 85
Place of Birth: Meadow Hills, Liberty City
Affiliations: Gambetti Crime Syndicate

- Resident of the Schottler Medical Center for the last 3 years due to an allegedly serious illness.
Mission appearances
- Entourage (Boss)
- Dining Out (Boss)
- Liquidize the Assets (Boss)
- He is most likely based on Carlo Gambino, former boss of the Gambino crime family, on which the Gambettis are based, although his name shares similarities with John Gotti. His name is also similar to Gotti informant Sammy "The Bull" Gravano.
- Upon completion of the main storyline in Grand Theft Auto IV, the player can read about Gravelli's death on the Liberty Tree website, under the article "Mob Boss Dies Before Trial".
- If you call Jon Gravelli, it will say that his number is not recognized. Despite this, he can be called after his missions.
- Gravelli is one of the few characters in the GTA series to die of natural causes. Others include Johnny Sindacco.
- It is implied several times that Gravelli brought his illness upon himself to prevent, or at least delay, prosecution.
- Gravelli, Gerald McReary, Elizabeta Torres and the United Liberty Paper Contact are the only major characters in GTA IV who don't appear outside of cutscenes.
- In his artwork, Gravelli wears a blue business suit, but he does not wear it in GTA IV. This is due to the fact that he is hospitalized and wears the hospital issued gowns.
- At 85 years old, Gravelli is the oldest character in the GTA series to give the protagonist missions.
- Appearing in only three missions, Gravelli is the boss with the least appearences in the whole Grand Theft Auto IV trinity.
- Gravelli states that he has known the Ancelottis for 73 years, suggesting that he could've been involved with the mafia since the age of 12.

Detailed Description:
I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of single agent lenalidomide in subjects with AIDS-related KS. (Phase I) II. Evaluate the overall clinical response of KS tumors to lenalidomide with subset assessments of partial response (PR) and complete response (CR). (Phase II)
I. Evaluate the effect of lenalidomide on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) plasma viral loads.
II. Determine the effects of lenalidomide on T-lymphocyte subsets, including natural killer (NK) cells.
III. Evaluation of time to response, time to relapse, and time to death amongst subjects receiving lenalidomide.
IV. Determine the effect of lenalidomide on human herpesvirus (HHV)-8. V. Assess lenalidomide effects on HHV-8 copy number in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC), and plasma and whether changes in viral copy number measured in PBMC or plasma are associated with clinical response of KS tumors.
VI. Monitor HHV-8 gene expression in KS biopsy specimens and PBMC pre- and post-lenalidomide and assess whether changes in viral gene expression in tumor biopsy are associated with clinical response.
VII. Assess whether changes in viral copy number in the compartments assayed occur in concert or independently with changes in viral antigen expression in biopsy specimens.
VIII. Assess effects of lenalidomide on growth factors relevant to tumor proliferation (i.e., interleukin [IL]-1beta, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-15, IL-12p70, tumour necrosis factor [TNF]alpha, and interferon gamma [IFN]gamma).

Bryton rider 50 map DVDI just for a rider 50 from the UK and it only came with UK maps (D'oh).
I assumed the unit came with all the regions. Anyone know how I can get hold of the DVD, or even upload free maps to the unit? Thanks
Bryton rider 50 map DVDso anyone with the gps and a DVD burner
Re: Bryton rider 50 map DVDLove this GPS, you can still navigate without the maps, but would be handy to find someone with the map DVD.
Bryton rider 50 map DVDGoogle is your friend. I'm sure you can "borrow" it from the Internet library
2013 Scott CR1 Premium - Ultegra Di2 compact.
Bryton rider 50 map DVDAlready tried that with no luck anyone want to burn me a DVD for a fee
Re: Bryton rider 50 map DVDI've been searching as well without any luck, my usually good google-fu has failed me
Bryton rider 50 map DVDI too was shocked that something couldnt be found on google, what's the world coming to!
Re: Bryton rider 50 map DVDGoogle bryton rider 50 and open street map.
Seems this is free and available from the little reading I did. John
Re: Bryton rider 50 map DVD
Bryton used OSM in the early versions, but the latest firmware locks you to using the Navteq maps which you need to get on DVD from Bryton. The format seems to be different to other Navteq maps that are around too
Bryton rider 50 map DVDI read about the osm maps
You can buy the DVD for $100 which seems a bit steep.
Re: Bryton rider 50 map DVDPity on OSM.
I just read a forum post by Bryton that they would make this facility available second quarter 2012 but can't see any sign of it yet John
Bryton rider 50 map DVDcool that would be good !
Bryton rider 50 map DVDGot some feed back from bryton, the osm maps are I testing so fingers crossed
Bryton rider 50 map DVDgot link from bryton support to download DVD image , result !
Re: Bryton rider 50 map DVDanyone got any luck with this?
Bryton rider 50 map DVDYep working really well now, great computer !
Re: Bryton rider 50 map DVD
Hi I have the same issue how did you get around the UK maps? Can you post the link?
Re: Bryton rider 50 map DVDCompared to $180 from Garmin its not to bad.
Whats worse the Garmin ones are terrible. Tried to tell us a road in Adelaide which has existed for at least 15 years did not exist. Go with the OSM as they are far more accurate. Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2 James
Veni, Vidi, Vespa -- I Came, I Saw, I Rode Home
Re: Bryton rider 50 map DVD
Hi, i've had the exact same problem, care to share the link via PM please?
Re: Bryton rider 50 map DVDDitto here. I've got EU maps but no oz. I emailed Bryton, they referred me to an Australian distributor who offered me maps for $99. PLEASE pm me too with a link!!!
Re: Bryton rider 50 map DVDSend me a private message and ill find it when I get home
Re: Bryton rider 50 map DVDI too fell for the overseas model. I had assumed that I could register the Australian maps however, I have a brand new HD EU version that remains unregistered. I would greatly appreciate an AU copy so I can register it. Apart from the map saga its a great little unit.
Re: Bryton rider 50 map DVDJust email bryton support And get the link.
I sold my rider 50 because it kept falling off, the mount is not as good as garmins.
Re: Bryton rider 50 map DVDBryton service is good but would not supply. Oh well. Lets hope OSM support soon.

Kurt Diemberger Wins Piolet d'Or
Diemberger was born in Villach, Austria in 1932. As a young mountaineer, he logged successful ascents of the Eiger, the Matterhorn, and the Grandes Jorasses between 1956 and 1958.
In 1957, he took part in an expedition that made a first ascent of Broad Peak (8,051m). One of his teammates was Herman Buhl, who had made a first ascent of Nanga Parbat (8,125m) in 1953. Buhl and Diemberger later attempted Chogolisa (7,665m) together. The two were not able to reach the summit, and Buhl disappeared when a cornice broke beneath him. His remains were never found.
Diemberger went on to make a first ascent of Dhaulagiri (8,167m), his second first ascent of an 8,000-meter peak. In 1979, he climbed Gasherbrum II (8,035m) and K2 (8,611m). On the descent from K2, he and Julie Tullis, his partner, were pinned down in a storm. Tullis died from edema and Diemberger later required amputations for severe frostbite.
Diemberger has continued to spend his life exploring the mountains, as well as worked as a professional filmmaker, writer, and speaker.

At a town hall meeting earlier this week in Belfast, Northern Ireland, President Obama said this:Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity — symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others — these are not tangential to peace; they're essential to it. If towns remain divided — if Catholics have their schools and buildings, and Protestants have theirs — if we can't see ourselves in one another, if fear or resentment are allowed to harden, that encourages division. It discourages cooperation.
Ultimately, peace is just not about ...

I watched to interview on bloomberg and I think everything was taking out of context and I don't think he said anything horrible, i think it's just it's blackberry so dump on him. He basically said that other than apple nobody has figured out a way to make money on tablets because you can't make money off the hardware, it's the services you deliver on them. Apple has said the same thing. Tim Cook basically said they are strategically given margin up on the ipad mini as it's the introduction of apple to emerging markets. So unless you have some idea of what type of service you're going to provide on the tablet It's difficult to make money on it. I think that view point is right. I think he's also said that blackberry isn't going to compete in that market because they can't provide a useful servce on a tablet. They have a phone and their core competency is managing devices for enterprise and making sure they are secure in a BYOD world. I think those are fair statements. I think the whole tablet is dead in 5 years is dumping by the media to get clicks, apple has been getting a fair bit of this lately also
BlackBerry CEO supposedly says dumb things about the future of tablets, but what are the smart things?
BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins was quoted today as saying tablets didn't have much of a future, product or market-wise. Given the huge, and still growing success of the iPad, even the idea sounds ridiculous. Here's what Bloomberg posted:
"In five years I don't think there'll be a reason to have a tablet anymore," Heins said in an interview yesterday at the Milken Institute conference in Los Angeles. "Maybe a big screen in your workspace, but not a tablet as such. Tablets themselves are not a good business model."
I love a good CEO-snap story as much as the next blogger. Almost every time Ballmer or Schmidt open their mouths, it's gold for everyone in our industry. Hell, the previous leadership at BlackBerry, co-CEOs Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, said amongst the dumbest things in the recent history of mobile. To see such affluent, powerful people come off as utterly out of touch with reality is about as great a shot of schadenfreude as it gets. So to think the only man currently responsible for a purely mobile computing company on the planet -- BlackBerry carries no legacy desktop or services business -- doesn't think there's a future in the most computer-like form of mobile technology today is... stupefying.
Granted, he wasn't talking about today, but about 5 years from now -- and the velocity of mobile makes it difficult if not impossible to predict the market even a couple of years out, never mind five -- but I'd put good money on the tablet having a bigger future than the desktop for most people, most of the time. That's why Steve Jobs reportedly said the iPad was the most important product of his life.
BlackBerry's version of the tablet, the PlayBook, hasn't been anywhere nearly as successful to date. I've gone on record as saying the PlayBook was probably an ill-advised distraction that led to BlackBerry being even further behind in the phone business than they might otherwise have been, and for BlackBerry it certainly doesn't seem to have been a good business model.
Here's BlackBerry PR's response:
The comments that Thorsten made yesterday are in line with previous comments he has made about the future of mobile computing overall, and the possibilities that come with a platform like BlackBerry 10. We continue to evaluate our tablet strategy, but we are not making any shifts in that strategy in the short term. When we do have information about our PlayBook strategy, we will share it.
And Kevin Michaluk of CrackBerry sums it up this way:
What he did say is that the mobile device in your pocket.. aka. your smartphone... is getting to the point where it has enough computing power in it that it can perform processing tasks akin to a computer. Especially when hooked up to the cloud. And also considering you can connect it up to peripherals like a monitor, keyboard and mouse. It's not that hard to picture a use case where at your home and office are your big screens, and you just walk in and drop your phone down and your work environment is setup off your phone.
The futurist in me wants to take that a step further, to where the computing is decoupled from device, and the "brains" are a constant thing we always have with us, hooked in everywhere, capable of being expressed as a phone or tablet or laptop or desktop or holodeck for that matter. All my stuff, existing everywhere, accessible everywhere, through any hardware interface available.
In that world, interface becomes commoditized. Panels, even beautiful ones, would be utterly interchangeable and transfigurable. In that future, what would an iPhone or iPad look like? What would an iTV or iWatch look like? Manifestations?
Yes, Heins' comment came off sounding ludicrous in the context in which it was presented, and if that's how it was given, he deserved the headlines he got this morning. But funny blog headlines only last a few hours or days. In the greater context, and in the way BlackBerry has been positioning themselves, and in the way Apple has been building out iOS, and in the way Microsoft could figure out 3 screens and the cloud, and in the way Google could take Android or ChromeOS, given some time and coherent thought, the idea of ultra-personal computing 5 years in the future is fascinating.
Feel free to lay into the CEO of BlackBerry in the comments if that's your thing, but also let me know -- where do you see the future of tablets and of computing in five years?

BlackBerry CEO supposedly says dumb things about the future of tablets, but what are the smart things?
It's a "man bites dog" story -- something people will buy/click on. We tell the media what gets our attention, they feed us back more and more of it.
Media gets some blame, but we get some blame too. (I'm both, so I get double blame.)
Hey Rene Ritchie I'm new on here and I barely know how to do this and I can see the future too just like you and my real name is alexis and I'm 12 years old and this is driving me crazy can you help me because I haven't told my mom yet and I'm planning on not telling her because she'd think I'm crazy and she never beleve's me and sorry because I'm a bad speller but is there any way to stop this without my mom finding out please help me your my only help I really Thot that didn't have this web site but praise The Lord they did I really hope you replay because this has bin happening sense I was a baby girl.
This was the same thought I had. He thinks the phone will be powerful enough to simply be docked in different contexts. Desktops and Tablets would go away with this.
I don't think this is a bad vision of the future. It's certainly possible, but generally the bigger the device the more power. I can see the phone being the CPU being the center if we don't come up with things needing more power than we currently use tablets for. If games or some other interfaces get developed that need significantly more power than even 5 years from now mobile units will posses than I can see that as a possibility.
Mind/computer interfaces might be one area where a significant amount of processing power or large amounts of memory might be needed.
I think there are several sizes of things that have transcended media evolutions. We have the small pocket size, be it paperback or phone, the larger lap size, be it hardcover or tablet, and the even large desk size, be it tome or desktop.
That likely won't change until stuff is injected straight into our brain.
IMO, he may be right. Tablets took off primarily, imo, because people want something bigger than a phone, more portable than a traditional laptop and more useful-powerful than the Netbook was. But now with Ultrabooks taking off and starting to come down in price, I think that will eat into tablet sales moving forward.
Why settle for a boxed in system (regardless of whether iOS, Android or Win8) when you can, for not much more money and about the same portability, have a "full" computer experience? If I had the money for it last year, I'd have gotten a Win7 ultrabook instead of the iPad2 for that very reason.
In that analogy, Heins merely opined that 5 years from now, dome people will still need trucks, but that tablets will no longer be the car of choice - the smartphone.
I already never use my iPad over my iphone (except for Netflix and Fantasy Football) - so I understand what he means. However, the limitations of the phone have little to do with power, as smartphones already have enough for most tasks, but with viewable space and inputs. *That* is what has to be addresses if the smartphone is to decimate the tablet market. And, of course, it has to be as convenient - most people would prefer carrying a single tablet to a phone + screen + larger input device.
5 years is a long time in tech; by 2018 there may be daring solutions to those problems. If Heins truly believes tablets will be short-lived, he had better have BB labs hard at work on those issues.
I so agree with you on your last statement. However, I am trying to break the dependency on Windows. As I see it I can use my smartphone for just about anything accept developed application which is how I make my living.
That's the only reason I keep my Windows Laptop.
Otherwise I would design my own docking station, charging block with mouse, keyboard and screen and ill be using my smartphone only.
I have been saying this for the past two years, and I am seeing my predictions come true, the laptop is on it's way out. Laptops have always been bulky, but ever since tablets have hit the scene, many companies have been trying to streamline their laptops, by making, ultra books, but people are buying more tablets now, than laptops. What did computer companies do in response to this growing trend, they have created hybrid tablet/computers with removable keyboards, thus turning it back into tablet. Truth is I actually use my tablet more then my ultra book. I use my ultra book to make changes to my website and edit pictures. I use my tablet more because it is more compact, and easier to carry around.
The issue isn't whether or not his dubious prediction is going to come true; the issue is poor judgement in making a statement that can readily be perceived as a self-serving excuse for why the Playbook didn't succeed or make the Playbook obsolete ala the HP Touchpad. Also, as the CEO of a company that's trying to regain lost ground, you probably want to avoid putting your foot in your mouth, and getting mocked and pilloried by the tech press.
The future where we hold the brains In our pocket and connect them to other devices as we move through the world is fascinating. Would eliminate a lot if problems we have with cross compatability. And it is totally in line with what QNX is designed for. As far as tablets, do we really need a tablet with its own core and everything. Why not just a screen, possibly flexible sold as an accessory to our phone. With a battery nfc and bluetooth. That simply streams what's on your phone. Is buy one.
in previous interviews he has mentioned blackberry can't beat the ipad in ipad game. Which is apps and games. And to a less extent browsing and cloud sharing. But he's willing to release a tablet if it means something new. If u knew what that was I'd be a rich man lol.
The headlines will be gone tomorrow. Stuff out of context is what you can expect in 5 minute interviews and 5 minute blog reposts. Thanks for putting in some thought to the subject Rene, why I come to mobile nations
Blackberry isn't going anywhere. And unfortunately neither are idiots like you who blindly cheer for a tech product like its your religion. Thankfully I think the fanboy crap is changing, you will be an annoying minority more and more everyday. Imore and mobile nations isnt your home though, move along.
I love how people can pass judgment when a CEO of a tech company provides a little insight to what he holds for the future... Steve Jobs can go on conference calls and say how bad Android and BlackBerry is and that's ok? That's some illogical thinking on everybody's part for not letting Thorsten talk on what he holds for the future. Is everybody really gonna be biased and say that no matter what Thorsten does or says is wrong like that Jack Rabbit Boy Genius? Give me a break Rene. It's dump on BlackBerry once again cause Apple is throwing 60 billion and iBonds to it's shareholders. It's crap and everybody knows it! Would it be as funny if Thorsten would have said 5 years ago that the SmartPhone is gonna replace your digital camera? Tell me how well it goes to sync your 10" iPad to your iCar on the dashboard.
I agree with Thorsten Heins. To me the Tablet is already obsolete. It's to much of an inconvenience using and moving around with a 10" device. My smart phone is all I need. There is nothing I can't do on my smart phone that demand that I carry a tablet.
The fact of the matter is, I haven't used my iPad in months. My five year in the future is now.
My Vision of table in five years. Its going to get much better, more lighter, better processing capabilities, touch responses, new sensors, a much better speech AI, (kind of jarvis in Iron Man), more and better apps, more communication with other devices (already started are cars, philips hue).
I dont see tablet going away now in five years, as the kind of impact they have make, its made human computer interaction more natural, a device which can be easily used by any age group, with such a less learning curve, it has limitations though, and so does with any product, their is no silver bullet, but yah I am sure its going to get better and better. Take first generation iPad and current one, you can see the difference.
Sorry, Rene. Sometimes you are too much of a diplomat for your own good. T. H. said what he said. Trying to massage the meaning into something more rational may sooth a few, frayed nerves on the Blackberry side of the MN empire, but it does nothing for the integrity of the story, IMO.
T. H. would like nothing more than to roll back the clock, and make the PlayBook un-happen. He still has to deliver BB10 for the PB, but probably would rather not. The PB is a constant reminder of the stupidest failure in the history of the company. Chasing Apple into that market, especially at that time, was asinine, and everyone outside of RIM knew it.
Since he can't talk about tablets of the past, he has to talk about the future of tablets. Once again, the PB is causing the company to position itself in stupid terms with regard to the tablet market. Of course, tablets are profitable. Apple has made it so. And tablets: the iPad, will go on being profitable well beyond five years. The PC has done just fine for 30 years. What makes him think tablets won't stick around on the profit sheet for eight? He has to justify why his company is pulling the plug, by dumping on the tablet's prospects for the near future.
As for his vision for a world where our only computing device is a Blackberry phone with keyboard, plugged into different terminals, ask him how he's enjoying his Atrix. I don't think a Blackberry Atrix is going to work any better than a Motorola Atrix, do you? That is not a vision of the future; it is a return to the junkyard of failed ideas.
People like tablets. On the Android side, flagship phones are approaching the size of tablets. The next generation of the Galaxy Tab will be a 7" phone. Apple just sold 19.5 million iPads in an off quarter. There is a certain screen size that, below which, common tasks become difficult. People do not want a phone plus several, dumb terminals. If that is the direction Blackberry is headed, then they absolutely deserve the scorn being heaped on them now. Personally, I think T. H. just wanted to poo-poo the thing that their competitor is good at, and they're not. Trying to turn it into something more thoughtful does a disservice to the comment that was actually made.
By the way, does disagreeing with you mean that I should not bother to apply for the next writing job for iMore? :)
The future if tablet computer is so important, so many kids have grown up to the device that it is second nature to them. So this is a part of our culture as the PC was to most. Some of the guys speak on trying to think they can vision the future. If they could see that, then state what he sees replacing tablets or being used in its place. Who knows all you can do its keep working on the next thing.
It's an opinion of a person... Might be dumb to most but might possibly be valid in his own reasoning. I'm still a bit skeptical of the likes of iPad and Surface RT not seeing much use of either, but I love both of em regardless. What the future holds, we can never be sure: perhaps tablets may be replaced my holographic watches that give you an entire operating system right at your palm... You never know! ;)
Rene, I find the concept of using the phone as the primary device, and using bluetooth to hook it up to monitor and keyboard for desktop computing to be interesting. I presently carry around an IBM-issue laptop so I can work from wherever I might be. Using the phone for the same purpose would be much easier.
I currently use the laptop in much the same fashion, a monitor and keyboard at home, and a monitor and keyboard at the office. The biggest challenge to using the iPhone instead would be the security that IBM requires on the laptop. Putting that on my iPhone would interfere with my personal use of the iPhone.
There's a lot of childishness and groupthink in the media and the blogosphere. I'm happy to see that a site that I've stuck with over the years at least has the intelligence to understand the comments and extend them. Kudos to you Rene and to Kevin too.
5 years is a long time not just for mobile but for computing as well. If anyone thinks that cloud is a reality today is either smoking something that's only legal in Colorado or likes the taste of Cool aide. What we see there today is merely an infrastructure play. The applications and services that follow are some way off and will come about when the infrastructure architecture settles down. Analytics will be pervasive on the service side but has only begun to penetrate in the broader corporate world that will running these future services. With all three of these key technologies needing maturation you will see a tomorrow far different than today. So, Thor's comments seem funny today but may not be tomorrow.
This is why I like reading iMore. The blogs were ridiculous with this quote, taking it out of context. That's what's wrong with the web: every news and blog site basically copy/pastes stuff from other sites.
Thanks for taking the time to read the quote in context, and actually put some thought in an article about it.
There are some seriously dumb comments here (smart ones, too). It is taking a lot for me not to respond to them, individually. I'll just say that the best I can give Heins is to consider that fablets will play big part of the future.
The greater truth is probably that mobile phones and tablets may become indistinguishable from each other as simply being different sizes of the same computing form factor.
But I don't think it changes how stupid this comment was. I am really surprised that the first thing I read wasn't that BlackBerry stock took a dive immediately after his comment was revealed.
The reality is that Heinz is drinking the same koolaid that lazardis and balsillie did. Seems like it mught have some hallucinogenic properties to it...
I don't know about others but the iPad has made parts of my job much more streamlined. I love my iPhone when I am on the move but when I am working in the courtroom (not an attorney but in a correctional field) my iPad just works better. I can pull case files up, handle emails, and have better access to information verses dragging out my Macbook Pro or trying to rely on my phone to do complex tasks and data. I also read using my iPad, play more games, and browse the web on it. It just beats the computer for most tasks and leisure as well. Plus it is bigger and more easily accessible than my phone in many situations. I don't see the tablet market going away in five years and whereas it will not completely phase out a phone or traditional computer, it has definitely created its own nitch for use and marketability.
He might be on to something. I'm a field agent for HTC and I have been using the HTC One since 2/19/13 and my iPad has sat in a laptop bag untouched! Given the larger displays on smartphones and the lack of computing power of tablets he may be right.
His comment on tablets has inspired us to create a puzzle for our iOS game, Crickler.
The "Worst Tech Predictions EVER" puzzle features Thorsten Heins' claim that "In five years I don't think there'll be a reason to have a tablet anymore" and other infamous tech predictions from the past. Notable examples include Michael Dell's suggestion that Apple Computer shut down and return their money to shareholders etc.
Oh, and Rene, when you're wrong kinda like the way people harrass a tech CEO, I'm gonna call you out. You claim that the PlayBook was just a waste of "time" and they should have been focusing on phones, but if you read anything but your Apple blogs, you would find this from Sebastien from QNX:
PlayBook [released in April, 2011] was a stepping stone to the phone. If you look at the lineage, we started with the automotive software, which became PlayBook, which became BlackBerry 10 for the phone. Now, a lot of that software is going back to the next generation of the car and other devices.

8 Tips for a Happier Workplace
Workplace happiness once seemed unimportant. Workers came in to do a job. Whether they were happy about it or not was irrelevant. However, it actually turns out that happiness in the workplace matters a great deal. Psychology Today indicates that it can have a direct impact on everything from productivity to worker retention and profitability. Smart employers need to ensure that their workers are as happy as they can be. While that doesn't mean you need to "coddle" them, it does mean that smart businesses should take certain steps. Below, you'll find eight important tips to improve workplace happiness.
1. Focus on Family
Your workers split their time between the job and their families. Of the two, their families are ultimately the most important. Show that you care and put the focus on your workers' families first.
2. Build a Community
Your workplace should be more than just a collection of different people busily going about their duties. There should be a sense of camaraderie, a feeling of togetherness. Your workplace should be a community itself. Inspire a feeling of community by encouraging mutual goals, group events and fostering connections between your workers.
3. Share the Spotlight
Your employees work hard for you and you need to give credit where it's due. If your firm experienced a jump in profitability, share the credit with the departments and employees responsible (after all, your company didn't jump up in the ratings on its own; someone had to put in the effort).
4. Lead by Example
If you routinely take time off, or ask employees to do things that you wouldn't do yourself, you're creating a negative workplace. Lead by example. If you ask your employees to follow certain policies, do so yourself.
5. Consider Alternative Office Layouts
One of the factors affecting your workplace's level of happiness might actually be the layout of desks, cubicles and equipment. Be open to change. Look into alternative layouts that foster better traffic flow, let in more natural light and open the space up.
6. Encourage Hobbies
Let's be realistic. Your employees aren't all work and no play. In fact, chances are their true personality shines through in their hobbies and extracurricular activities. Encourage your employees to explore other interests and don't denigrate hobbies and other pastimes in the workplace.
7. Stock Snack Machines Smart
Most offices have some sort of vending machines on the premises. Chances are yours are full of soda, cookies, crackers, chips and other junk food. Make a shift and encourage healthier eating. Bring in vendors who can supply high quality snacks and healthy foods/drinks, and your employees' morale will rise.
8. Encourage Breaks
Break time equals less productivity, right? Wrong. If you actually encourage your employees to take periodic breaks, stretch, exercise and unwind a bit, they'll be much more productive when they return to the job.
Following these simple tips will help you create a happier, healthier workplace and you might even be surprised at just how much that benefits your business.
Alternatives to a Traditional Workspace
Whether you're looking for a more ergonomic workspace or are just sick and tired of the ages-old chair and desk combo, there are alternatives out there. You're not limited to sitting in an office chair and using a standard desk. What's more, there's evidence that going a nontraditional route can actually help prevent you from many common musculoskeletal injuries sustained during long-term desk and office chair use, as pointed out by UCLA. Here's what you should know about your options.
Standing Desks
If you think a desk must be sat at to be used, you haven't looked at the marketplace much in the last couple of years. More and more, standing desks are coming into vogue. That's not just because of the "cool design" factor, either. It's because standing at work can offer some serious health benefits. A number of studies have pointed out the correlation between standing at work and weight loss, as well as the ability to prevent many musculoskeletal problems that stem from sitting for long periods with poor posture.
Standing desks are exactly what they sound like. They're designed to allow the user to do pretty much anything they could at a sit-down desk, but in a standing position. You'll also find desks that can adjust to both standing and sitting positions, which is important. It's impossible to do certain tasks in a standing position – typing for more than five minutes is better when seated, for instance. Any task that requires fine control or stable hands should be done when seated as well.
Alternative Seating
Office chairs are both a comfort and bane to workers. A good office chair can keep you happy and comfortable through a long day as a desk jockey, but a bad chair (or bad posture in a good chair) can cause serious back, shoulder, neck and arm problems. Ergonomic chairs can help, but many offices are now turning to alternative seating arrangements.
A good example of this type of seating is the ball chair. You can find these in two varieties – plain balls that require significant effort to balance and ball chairs mounted on a wheeled frame (like a regular office chair, but without the seat, arms or back).
What benefits will you find with these types of seating? For one thing, the lack of arms and back forces you to sit properly, which alleviates back pain and muscle strain. They can also help improve balance and force you to work your abdominal muscles to stay upright. Some office workers switch between ball chairs and standard office chairs depending on the task at hand. Transitioning to this type of seating does require some time and effort, and it should be done incrementally to avoid problems.
A nontraditional office space can offer significant benefits. Standing desks and ball chairs can help improve posture, alleviate the discomfort of musculoskeletal disorders and can even improve productivity in some instances. However, they're not for everyone, so match your office furniture to your needs and your tasks.
The Benefits of Using An Alternative Seating Chair in Your Home Office
What do a traditional office chair, computer, keyboard, and desk all have in common? These are all long-established, staple products found in almost every home office in the United States. A desk is a key component for any home office as a surface to work on as is a computer and keyboard for getting your work completed. This being said, one would assume the same should hold true in the case of having a traditional office chair to sit on while getting your work completed. While this might have been true in the past, there are now many alternative seating options available to choose from for your home office that offer many distinct benefits that regular office chairs do not offer including affordable pricing, improved posture, and a unique sitting experience.
It is important to discuss what constitutes an alternative seating solution before discussing the benefits these chairs have to offer. An alternative seating solution is a unique piece of office furniture unlike any traditional office chair that you are accustomed to seeing in both design and functionality. There is not one standard alternative seating solution; there are many different makes, models, and designs available for purchase with each offering similar benefits. Most alternative seating chairs are quite different from your typical office chair with most having a backless design and require you to focus on how you are sitting throughout the day. They can be used as your primary seating solution or be used in conjunction with your current office chair. Some of the most common alternative seating solutions include kneeling chairs, saddle stools, ball chairs, rocking stools, sit stand stools, and balance knee chairs.
Alternative seating chairs are generally much more affordable in price compared to an ergonomic office chair designed for sitting up to eight hours a day, typically on average costing between $75-$200. Higher end options that include memory foam or a specialized design might run a little more than the average price, however almost any alternative seating solution will be less than $400 in price. This is considerably less compared to a typical high quality ergonomic office chair that can cost upwards of $600. If you are wary about purchasing something other than a traditional office chair to sit in, consider trying a cheaper kneeling chair to test out. This leaves little risk and a lower return cost than if you were to splurge on a more expensive knee chair or active stool, and you can always upgrade in the future.
Perhaps the greatest benefit that will be gained by sitting on an alternative seating chair is improved posture and core strength. The primary purpose of alternative seating chairs is to force the individual to sit in an upright position and also makes it more apparent when slouching or hunching over. This is mostly attributed to their unique backless designs that deliberately teach you how to maintain proper posture while sitting for extended periods of time. A health benefit that is gained by sitting with proper posture is reduced back pain which is a prominent reason why people make the switch from their standard office chairs or why they may take a break for a few hours at a time by switching to an alternative seating chair.
Sitting in an alternative seating chair is a unique experience that will be unlike your previous experience sitting in any other office chair. You will have the freedom to move around and stretch throughout the day which is often forgotten when sitting in an office chair, and you will see improved posture over time. Your spine is also forced into proper alignment when sitting correctly leaving you with less aches and pains that are normally experienced when sitting for extended periods of time. While these chairs do take some getting used to, especially if you have been accustomed to sitting in an office chair for years, and require you to start sitting for only a few hours a day gradually making your way up to a full 8 hours as the weeks progress.
Home office users usually spend only a few hours a day sitting while at home, which will be a nice break for your back if you are required to sit in an office chair all day at work and then will be coming home to work even longer. Home office users also have the freedom to choose the exact furniture they want in their house rather than having to adhere to corporate specifications in their work environment. Alternative seating chairs also have a smaller footprint over a regular office chair allowing for space-saving which can be useful especially in smaller home offices. No matter what reason you have for considering making the switch from an office chair, there is little risk and much to gain from trying an alternative seating solution.
The Benefits of Owning A Saddle Stool
Saddle stools are more popular now than ever before. They can typically be found in hospitals, clinics, hairdressing and beauty salons, veterinary offices, laboratories, architect firms, and in art industries. What once was a predominant form of seating solely in the medical industry is now quickly making its way into homes and businesses worldwide. While most used and seen in medical offices, particularly in dentistry offices used by both dental hygienists and dentists themselves, more consumers are becoming familiarized with what a saddle stool is and how it can provide them with back support. The main health benefits received by sitting on a saddle stool are improved muscle strength, back pain relief, improved posture, and musculoskeletal disorder prevention.
A saddle chair simply put is a stool with a saddle seat, very similar in look, design, and feel as an equestrian saddle. It does not have a back rest but does come with a five-star chair base with a pneumatic gas cylinder for adjusting the correct seat height. They have a small footprint conveniently fitting under just about any desk and into just about any work area of any size. One of the main benefits received from sitting in a saddle stool is improved muscle strength which is achieved by using both your abdominal and leg muscles to sit up straight. After using a saddle chair for just a few weeks you should be able to feel improved core strength and enhanced muscle tone, all from simply sitting correctly on your stool.
Perhaps the greatest health benefit received from sitting in a saddle stool is back pain relief that can often occur from sitting in a regular office chair for extended periods of time. Not only are saddle chairs helpful in relieving back pain they can also alleviate neck and shoulder pain along with related headaches. The larger angle between the hips and the knees at a 135° is a much more natural position to be in than the 90° angle, typically associated with sitting on a traditional chair. As a consequence posture is improved and tension in the upper back and neck is reduced. The backless feature on saddle stools also eliminates pressure that is typically felt on users back from leaning on a back rest, causing discomfort while sitting and especially when trying to focus while working.
Sitting on a saddle chair essentially forces you to have to sit with correct posture with the chair's design. It also prevents you from slouching and hunching, a common occurrence when sitting in a traditional office chair that is often overlooked by not being brought to your attention. You are much more likely to notice yourself slouching over in a saddle chair with your back not being supported, providing a constant reminder to sit up straight. By promoting good posture the stool is also improving blood circulation, your spine by putting it into a healthy lordotic curve, and digestion. Leg circulation is improved by your legs being in a more open position with no edge pressing behind the back of your knees as with a normal chair seat.
Musculoskeletal disorder is a condition where a part of the musculoskeletal system is injured over time typically occurring when the body part is called on to work harder, stretch farther, and impact more directly at a greater level than it is prepared for. Most commonly this is associated with repetitive stress injuries, one of the most common workplace injuries that can be attributed to sitting in a bad chair that causes strain over a long period of time. Saddle chairs reduce work related limb disorders such as pain and aching in the wrists, arms, and shoulders associated with regional musculoskeletal disorder, cumulative trauma disorder, and repetitive stress injury. They decrease pain and fatigue associated with muscular tension that often occurs from continuously sitting or typing in an unnatural position.
Saddle chairs take time to adjust to the new unique sitting style and it is recommended to only sit in for an hour or two a day to start while progressively increasing your sitting duration over a period of a month. They can also be used in conjunction with your current office chair or as an alternative seating solution when your back needs relief. Whether you want a saddle stool for the health benefits or because you want to try something new, you will surely not be disappointed when you make the switch.

0My Favorites
0Rooted in the legacy of British Cool and liberated by the free spirit of LA, Hudson is a rebel with a cause?a brand that redefines the standard every time. Today Hudson is positioned as a global leader in Premium Denim and the mission remains the same as day one; transcend product and inspire people around the world to live out their passions, push life to its fullest, and challenge themselves to be their very best.
Beautiful color, perfect fit and comfortable. At 5'6 they are the perfect length,every other brand I need to have the leg hemmed. These are wash and go! Normally I wear a 24, but I almost needed a 23 (which they don't come in), but still have a great fit. Maybe not a full size too big, but if inbetween sizes, go with one size smaller. The thin(ner) denim feels great, but for some this might be a negative point. My last 2 pairs of Hudsons lasted about 1.5- 2yrs at the most. One pair wore through on the butt, and the other split at the knee. However,they are the perfect jeans for me, I will buy them forever!
Gorgeous wash, dark with perfect fadings! It is quite a thin/light fabric (in the Hudson website it says 8.75 oz.). I was reading on other websites about these, and the majority said they run large. I would say, if you are between sizes, you can go with your smaller size. I got my smaller size (25). I don't think they are a full size bigger, saying that, I don't know if they will stretch out a lot with wear. The waist is not a rise 8", it is a lot lower! Also, the inseam is not 34". I am 5.7" with very long legs, and these are actually a bit short for me. I can get away with wearing them with converse or flipflops, but nothing with a higher heel than that. It is kind of sad they are so short, because I really love them. I whish Revolve would carry the bootcut supermodel in Elm!

[b]Nazi Ron Paul doesn't believe in free speech[b]
Ron Paul is abusing Trademark Law To Unveil Anonymous Internet Users.
Anonymous Internet Users posted a video on YouTube under the name NHLiberty4Paul. Nazi Ron Paul didn't like it, so he filed a Trademark-Infringement case to get the identity of the user who posted the video. Nazi Ron Paul claims the name "NHLiberty4Paul" infringes on his trademark.
Anonymous speech is protected under the First Amendment, and abusing trademark law to try to unmask anonymous speakers, whose speech was not commercial, is clearly an abuse of the law to try to "out" people online.
Also surprising is that even Paul's very vocal online supporters seem to refuse to recognize the issue here. I was amazed how many commenters came to Paul's defense here because they think that the videos were designed to make Paul look bad, and therefore the people "must" be revealed. That's not how the law works and that's not standing up for the basic principles of free speech, internet freedom and liberty that they supposedly stand for.
The sign of a truly principled person is when you're willing to retain those principles in the face of a situation where standing firm hurts you. Instead, Ron Paul folded and suddenly relied on big federal government regulations and abuse of the law to try to take away individuals' free speech rights.

Alaska Youth Soccer TOPSoccer Buddy of the Year
Laura Aspelund (Alaska Rush 97G) was awarded the 2012 "Top Soccer Buddy of the Year Award," from both Alaska Youth Soccer and US Youth Soccer Region IV. She has been a Buddy with the Alaska Rush TopSoccer program—Rush Thunder—for four years.
'We are very proud of Laura for her efforts in volunteering for Rush Thunder,' said Alaska Rush Technical Director Jason Leonardis. 'I am very happy she was recognized for the number of hours she put in to make the program successful. She is a true asset to the progam.'
Laura is very dedicated to the program and only misses training when she is out of state. Not only does she act as a Buddy, she helps with administrative duties when needed and is always ready to lend a helping hand to clean up. Laura takes great pride volunteering for the TOPSoccer program. So much so she'll even arrive late to her own competitive games, until the Rush Thunder session is over.
'When I heard that Laura Aspelund was awarded the 2012 TOPSoccer Buddy of the Year, I knew that it could not have been given to anyone more deserving or caring,' commented Alaska Youth Soccer TOPSoccer Chair Robert DeVassie. 'Laura has graciously volunteered her time to be a Buddy with the US Youth Soccer TOPSoccer program for over four years now, and each and every player has enjoyed her companionship as a buddy. There was one special player that grew even fonder of Laura, his name was Mark. Mark started off with not a whole lot of enthusiasm to the game, or not until Laura became his Buddy. Since then, Mark has improved both as a player and as a person. I remember his parents saying how much Mark has enjoyed playing soccer, and looks forward to seeing his buddy Laura. Laura has truly shown that when it comes to helping others, she will jump at the opportunity without hesitation. As her past coach, it has been my pleasure to see Laura grow up and become someone that is respected and loved in the soccer community.'
According to Laura's mother, Tami Aspelund, who is also Alaska Rush's R.E.A.C.H. Coordinator, 'Laura enjoys helping kids who struggle with challenges every day. She encourages them to try new things, challenge themselves and embrace life! The Rush Thunder (TOPSoccer) program is a wonderful and unique opportunity for Laura to invest in something that draws on her personal strength of character and leadership, blends in her love for the game of soccer, but is also fueled by her heart of joy and compassion for service.'
Congratulations Laura!

Professor Pyraminx
Product Information
Object | Mix up and put back to the start |
Difficulty | Level 10 - Mind Boggling |
Brand | Meffert's |
Types | Meffert's Rotational Puzzles, Timur Evbatyrov |
Dimensions | 3.4 in x 3.6 in x 3.4 in / 8.6 cm x 9.2 cm x 8.6 cm |
Product Description
The Professor Pyraminx is made from a high quality black ABS plastic body. The idea of this puzzle is to scramble all 4 faces and then return is so that each side only has one color on it. This puzzle is extra challenging because not only is it made 5 layers deep, but each edge consists of 9 pieces side by side. The Professor Pyraminx was designed by Timur Evbatyrov who was born in Russia, and now lives in Germany developing fiber lasers. His interest in designing puzzles started in 2010 and he has now designed over 20 rotational puzzles. The Professor Pyraminx is manufactured by Meffert's Rotational Puzzles and came out on the 40th anniversary year of when Uwe Meffert first designed the original Pyraminx. Uwe Meffert, born in Wernigerode, Germany, not only manufactures the puzzles, but has designed many of his own puzzles as well.

This puzzle turns excellently (every layer of it) and it's an excellent update on the classic Pyraminx. The tips are a bit hard to turn - that's because the part below them can slide up and down on the core's arm, so when the puzzle is fully assembled all the parts are pushing the two pieces together, creating friction. But don't worry - you only need to turn them 4 times per solve anyway. It's got a good shape to hold in your hand, and it's a really great puzzle to bring on a trip: solving it doesn't feel repetitive at all, and it doesn't have any of the "parity" situations seen on its cubic cousin (the 5x5x5 Professor Cube). If you like this puzzle, you'll probably also enjoy the Vulcano, since it's another Pyraminx family member.
Pretty much everything about this puzzle is perfect. The stickers and plastic are high quality and it turns really smoothly :D. The only ''flaw'' is, on my puzzle one of the tips wont turn at all, it's like it's glued on there :/ . I'm still giving it 5 Stars because that ''flaw'' is probably only on my puzzle.

Health and Environmental Effects Profile for Simazine
Report Information
The Health and Environmental Effects Profile for Simazine was prepared by the Office of Health and Environmental Assessment, Environmental Criteria and Assessment Office, Cincinnati, OH for the Office of Solid Waste to support listings of hazardous constituents of a wide range of waste streams under Section 3001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Both published literature and information obtained from Agency program office files were evaluated as they pertained to potential human health, aquatic life and environmental effects of hazardous waste constituents. Quantitative estimates have been presented provided sufficient data are available. Existing data are insufficient to determine an Acceptable Daily Intak (ADI) or a carcinogenic potency factor for Simazine.
