I don't see that in Dota. The vast majority of difference between my play and a pro player's play is experience. Maybe on a hero like Invoker or Meepo or Visage, a hero that requires good APM, I'd be very outclassed, but on most other heroes? The difference would be fairly minor compared to the difference in experience, and that difference in experience would be the biggest reason I'd get completely trashed against them.
Almost guarantees your lane an XP/gold advantage, depending on whether or not they buy a TP or run to the lane they need to be in. If it's a solo lane you can often be level 2 before they finish switching lanes, meaning you're against level 1's - that's huge.Most games? You got a statistic? How do you determine if a game won by decisions or outpicking an opponent or outskilling? Just bunch of bullcrap as arguments.
pro tip for you: You can change the fucking lanes during game. Predicting the lane means nothing.
It's more because those twitch reactions are usually only going to take place during the laning and early ganking/pushing phases. Once it moves into teamfights, those twitch reactions are considerably less important for most of the heroes I've seen him play.Maybe it's because their opponent is nearly as skilled as Dendi, that is why he can't make his show all the time?
Day9 is widely considered one of the absolute best commentators for SC2 and yet while he's good, he's nowhere near the level of the Code S or even Code A players he's often analyzing.I don't think commentators in any e-sport or sports are the authorities when it comes to whatever game they are commenting on. They just comment on game, this does not mean they are better than anyone or know more than anyone who's interested in that sport.
Reading comprehension, brah. John Champion is not necessarily a good player, but he's extremely knowledgeable about the game.According to you John Champion(a british football commentator) is one of the best football players in the world, well because he's a commentator...Right brah
Strategy is not skill. Actual skill is a fairly minor difference between teams - the biggest difference is in finding ways to out-think the enemy team and play accordingly... which is based on experience and general knowledge of the game. Not skill.Dota is pure skillbased game. In low MMR ratings, knowledge may be the winning factor but at high MMR and professional games skill and strategy is deciding the winner.
At worst it's a 4v4 and they're missing a support. What happens if you lose your Chen or your Enigma or some other squishy support to Morphling's combo? You're going to have a difficult time holding off that 4v4, and it'll be a matter of seconds before Morphling's recharged and back in the fight, at which point it becomes a straight up 4v5.How about team fights? Where you can not go back to base? What you gonna do after shotgunning some1 with 1k hp? Str back? That takes time.
Far and away, the most difficult part about learning Dota, and the part that makes it so hard for newbies to learn, is the sheer volume of information that has to be memorized to play even at a very low level. If you want to play at a higher level, it requires even MORE information to be memorized.Sorry but I'm not buying "the most hard part of dota is learning" crap. Dota is nothing absolutely nothing in terms of amount of information a human can learn.
Dota is a very, very simple game from a gameplay perspective - the depth of the game and why it's successful as an eSport is due to the sheer number of permutations and alternatives you can find in a single game. Compare this to League of Legends, which has only slightly simpler gameplay, but MUCH much simpler knowledge requirements (or, the "metagame.")

Begin by unwrapping FUN from the biodegradable cellophane just as you would an enormous piece of candy. Save the wrapper for when playtime's over. To use as soap or shampoo, pinch off a small bit in your hand (or on a bath pouf) and hop in the tub, lathering from head, shoulders, knees to toes. If you fancy a bubble bath, crumble a small chunk under a warm running tap for mountains of suds.

1 answer
A:Fun is good 14 months from the "made on" date. As children do not have fully developed urinary tracts, using fragrant, lathering products can sometimes cause irritation to the sensitive areas on the child's body. If you do choose to use LUSH products I would take extra care to ensure that all residue is rinsed clean away.Answered on 11/7/2012 by Anonymous

Baseball Rallies Late To Upend Santa Clara 6-4 In Extras
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – In dramatic fashion, the Gonzaga University baseball became the first West Coast Conference team to earn its berth to the WCC Championship tournament Friday with a 6-4 extra innings victory at Santa Clara University. The Bulldogs scored three runs in the eighth inning and another two in the 10th to prevent the last place Broncos from winning its first WCC game.
The Bulldogs (29-14-1, 16-6 WCC) take one step closer to earning the No. 1 seed at the tournament in Stockton, Calif., and the regular season championship, while the Broncos (10-33, 0-19) continue to battle for a conference win.
Gonzaga trailed 4-1 entering the eighth before the bats came alive. The rally began with a one out walk to Mitchell Gunsolus. Caleb Wood then hit what should have been a routine fly ball out to left field but Bronco Justin Gisch dropped it allowing Wood to reach and Gunsolus to advance. Cory LeBrun then drove a ball down the right field line to score Gunsolus and get GU back in the game.
The rally continued with the bat of Clayton Eslick who got his second RBI of the game with a single to right field. Gonzaga nearly took the lead on an Alex Bonczyk single to right field but Steven Halcomb was thrown out at home on the play. After trailing most of the game, the three runs tied the game at 4.
The Zags struck again in the tenth. Wood opened the inning with a double and advanced to third base on a LeBrun sacrifice bunt. Halcomb reached on his sacrifice bunt after an error from the SCU first baseman as Wood scored the go ahead run. Brock Slavin brought home the insurance run with a sac fly to left field.
The 6-4 lead was enough for Kenny Smith (4-0) who retired the Broncos in order. Smith, who pitched two innings, gets the win and did not allow a Bronco base hit.
Marco Gonzales got the start for the Zags and put forth a valiant effort. Gonzales struck out a season-high 12 batters in eight innings of work. He allowed nine hits and four runs.
Santa Clara nearly pulled the upset thanks to a strong start from freshman Reece Karalus. The righty went seven innings allowing four hits and four runs. After allowing two hits in the first, Karalus retired the next 14 of 15 batters he faced before Halcomb singled in the seventh inning.
Gonzaga improves to 16-2 in night games and 4-1 in extra inning contests.
The 2013 season is the first time the WCC will use a four-team, neutral-site championship to be held at Banner Island Ballpark May 23-25. The top four teams in the final WCC standings will make the trip and only three spots remain with GU clinching the first.
The two teams will resume the series Saturday with Tyler Olson facing Mike Couch. The game is set for a 3 p.m. first pitch as the Bulldogs attempt to clinch the WCC regular season title.

October 30, 86
Vol. 02 , No. 04
For several weeks this faIl, the Athenaeum has been especially fortunate to have Mrs. Jack Stark as its acting manager. She found time somehow in an already hectic calendar to work here on a regular basis during late September and early October. Her presence was a godsend. Anyone who knows the Athenaeum well is aware of how much the place reflects Mrs. Stark's loving care. This autumn she gave us an extra boost of energy and enthusiasm when we especially needed it. Well done, Mrs. Stark, and many thanks to you.
After Harald Bauer submitted his resignation in early August, President Jack L. Stark appointed a search committee to fill the position of Athenaeum manager. The committee worked diligently throughout the late summer and early autumn. A special word of thanks also goes to that group, which included the good judgement of Barbara Condit, Gaines Post, Jr., Jil Stark, Torrey Sun, and Athenaeum student assistants, Keith Barth, Carolyn McFerran, Elizabeth Murphy, and Robert Urstein. Extra credit belongs to Mrs. Condit, assistant to President Stark and director of personnel, who found time in her crowded schedule to carry on the extensive staff work that a search of this kind requires. The committee could not have functioned without her support.
The vacancy attracted applicants from many regions of the country. The committee carefully pared the list, conducted interviews, and made its recommendations to President Stark. We believe that in David Edwards we have a person who will carry on the Athenaeum's tradition of excellence.
We are pleased to announce that Mr. David K. Edwards has succeeded Harald Bauer as the Athenaeum's manager. With distinguished credentials, David comes to us after having ten years of experience at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
Mr. Edwards took his bachelor's degrees in hotel and restaurant administration and business administration at Washington State University in 1976. Then he joined the Biltmore as a management trainee and worked his way up to the combined positions of assistant director of food and beverage and director of purchasing. His responsibilities included daily supervision of all the food and beverage outlets in the hotel, as well as oversight for all purchases in a 1,000-room hotel.
David and his wife, Susan, are the parents of two children, John, 3, and Alexandra, who is 18 months old. Presently the Edwardses live in South Pasadena, but they look forward to moving to their new house in Upland this winter.
We are fortunate to have David Edwards to help guide the Athenaeum, and we extend a warm welcome to him and his family.
An Evening of Mime
Thursday, November 6, 1986
0n Thursday, November 6, the Athenaeum will play host to an evening of mime, featuring Thomas Leabhart, professor and resident artist at Pomona College. Interested generally in the arts for some time, Leabhart's attention moved from one art form to another, until, as a graduate student, he saw a mime film. "In that film I saw what movement was supposed to be," says the artist. At that moment Tom Leabhart knew that mime was what he would do.
Under a Fulbright scholarship, Leabhart completed four years of training at Etienne Decroux's Ecole de Mime between 1968 and 1972. He has since performed both solo and ensemble mime throughout the United States, Canada, and western Europe. In addition, Leabhart has taught and lectured widely.
The recipient of Ohio Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts Choreography fellowships, Tom Leabhart has served on the Dance Advisory Panel, the Theatre Advisory Panel, and as a site visitor for the National Endowment for the Arts. He is editor of Mime Journal and Mime News, and is currently working on a book entitled Modern and Post-Modern Mime.

Liberty 12A V-12
The Liberty was designed by Jesse Vincent of Packard and E. J. Hall of Hall-Scott in a Washington hotel suite between May 30 and June 4, 1917. It was the result of a massive U.S. War Department project to quickly provide a large number of aero engines during World War I that would rival, if not surpass, those currently in use by the Allied Powers and enemy nations.
A total of 20,478 were delivered, mostly prior to November, 1918. It was manufactured by Buick, Ford, Marmon, Packard. Hall-Scott was considered too small to receive a production order. The Museum's engine was built by Ford.
Manufacturing was facilitated by the unique modular design which also allowed variants to be produced in four or six cylinders in one or two banks.
Applications included tanks , as well as, aircraft Thousands continued in civil and military, with the U.S. Army and British RAF, use until the mid-1930's. Tank versions of the engine were produced until the late 1930's.
Aircraft to use Liberty engines included:
Tanks to use adaptations of the Liberty engines included:
The engine is displayed in the connector between the Military and Civilian Hangars.

The Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa recently reinforced its commitment towards sustainability by implementing a comprehensive audit of its Carbon, Energy and Water. A member of the Starwood Hotels and Resorts, the Sheraton Maldives is committed towards the implementation of the group's overall environmental policy of 30/20 by 20, which calls for a 30% reduction in energy consumption and a 20% reduction in water by the year 2020 ( from a 2008 baseline ).
" As part of one of the leading hospitality companies in the world, our resort is committed towards ensuring that we minimize our impact on the environment" says Ursula Schoe - General Manager of the Sheraton Maldives. "We are bound to be good stewards of this planet, and hence our resort carried out a comprehensive series of audits of our energy and water consumption as well as of our carbon footprint through our Sustainability Partner - The Carbon Consulting Company Maldives. The insights that were uncovered allowed us to recognize signicant opportunities for the potential saving of energy as well as the reduction of the overall consumption of water. These initiatives would very easily work toward helping the resort meet its 30/20 by 20 targets. Needless to say they could also work toward reducing our operating expenses on energy and water."
The handing over of the resort's carbon footprint was formally carried out at the resort in the presence of the CCCM Team and the resort's senior management team. The accompanying presentations highlighted the key ndings and recommendations of the Audit Teams, while helping the team understand the implications of the energy and water audits as well as the carbon audit.
"Eco Tourism is primed to be the fastest growing segment in the worldwide tourism market" says Sanith de S. Wijeyeratne - Chief Operating Ocer of the Carbon Consulting Company - Maldives. "Increasingly discerning guests want to know that their holiday is not adversely eecting the environment unnecessarily. A carbon footprint audit enables the resort to consolidate their energy, water, waste and other expenses into a single dashboard, thus allowing them to carry out an overall reduction plan to mitigate their emissions and reduce their expenses. The carbon footprint is increasingly becoming the measure by which an entity's environmental impact is assessed. The World Travel and Tourism Council and The International Tourism Partnership are jointly implementing a carbon measurement initiative for hotels which will soon become the industry standard. This is an excellent indicator of the importance that the hotel sector is giving carbon emissions. The Sheraton Maldives has now made signicant strides towards reaching their goals in terms on environmental sustainability, and we are proud to have partnered with them in this eort.
The Carbon Consulting Company Maldives has been created with the purpose of helping organizations reduce their environmental impact and maximize the CSR and marketing opportunities arising from these eorts. The company's mission is to help corporate leaders and decision makers develop the skill sets and knowledge base that would be required for survival in the dawning era of a low carbon economy.

We Want to French Kiss Vincent Cassel – The Daily Swoon
Oh, the French! Their language is better, their pastries are better, and their men are so delicious. Exhibit A: actor Vincent Cassel, who stars in 'Trance,' hitting theaters this weekend.
Vincent is a phenomenal French actor who often plays the role of bad guys and charismatic jerks, but he does it so, so well.
You may have seen him in 'Oceans 12,' where he played a very sneaky and clever thief, or in 'Black Swan,' where he played Natalie Portman's ballet instructor and he was all, "BE MORE SEXY, HERE LET ME TOUCH YOU TO MAKE YOU MORE SEXY." It was weird and creepy, but kind of hot (okay, really hot).
Cassel has been around for years starring in dramas and action thrillers, and he has a very specific look about him — you may find him to be an acquired taste, and I can roll with that, but have you seen him in action? You need to before you can make a fair assessment about his attractiveness. I guarantee you'll agree with me once you check him out.
He's married to actress Monica Bellucci, aka one of the most beautiful women in the entire world. The pair even starred in a movie together called 'Irreversible,' but I warn you: It's a very violent, very artistically-inclined movie, and, like Vincent himself, it's kind of an acquired taste.

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the backward flow of urine. The urine flows from the bladder back into the kidney.
Urine normally flows from the kidneys. It passes through tubes called ureters. It then flows into the bladder. Each ureter connects to the bladder in a way that prevents urine from flowing back up the ureter. The connection is similar to a one-way valve. When this does not work properly, or if the ureters do not extend far enough into the bladder, urine may flow back up to the kidney. If the urine contains bacteria, the kidney may become infected. The back up can also put extra pressure on the kidney. This can cause kidney damage.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of developing VUR include:
- Family history
- Congenital abnormalities of the urinary tract
- Birth defects that affect the spinal cord, such as spina bifida
- Tumors in the spinal cord or pelvis
- Spinal cord injury
In most cases, VUR has no obvious symptoms or signs. In some cases, VUR is found after a urinary tract or kidney infection is diagnosed. Symptoms of urinary tract infections include:
- Frequent and urgent need to urinate
- Passing small amounts of urine
- Pain in the abdomen or pelvic area
- Burning sensation during urination
- Cloudy, bad-smelling urine
- Increased need to get up at night to urinate
- Blood in the urine
- Leaking urine
- Low back pain or pain along the side of the ribs
- Fever and chills
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Ultrasound
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
- CT scan
- Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG)
- Intravenous pyelogram
- Nuclear scans
The goal for treatment of VUR is to prevent any permanent kidney damage. Treatment options include the following:
This procedure is a minimally invasive surgery. It is done to correct the reflux. A gel is injected where the ureter inserts into the bladder. This can prevent urine from going back up the ureter. This procedure is done through a small tube called a cystoscope.
This surgery repositions the ureters in the bladder. It can be done in two ways. One way requires making an incision above the pubic bone and repositioning the ureters in the bladder. It can also be done laparoscopically by inserting cameras through small incisions in the abdomen and/or bladder to perform the surgery.
VUR cannot be prevented in most cases. However, further complications can be avoided. Seek prompt treatment for bladder or kidney infections. This is particularly important if you have a neurogenic bladder.

TomTom and Vodafone Germany Sign Agreement To Bring the World's Most Advanced Traffic Information Service to Germany
Jan 14 2008
Munich, Germany, 14 January 2008 - TomTom, the world's largest navigation solutions provider, today announces that it will be exclusively working with Vodafone Germany to bring TomTom High Definition (HD) Traffic to Germany. HD Traffic is TomTom's new, unique traffic information system that delivers up to date, accurate and superior travel time information. The service is expected to be launched in Germany in the second half of 2008.To provide superior, accurate, real time traffic information for all major roads in Germany, TomTom will combine multiple sources. TomTom's in-house patented technology uses anonymously aggregated data from the Vodafone Germany network on the speed and direction that mobile phones are travelling in cars. This data is combined with existing German traffic information sources to deliver the best traffic information service available on the market: TomTom HD Traffic. TomTom HD Traffic is already live in The Netherlands. With TomTom HD Traffic, customers will get the most accurate arrival times available, times that are constantly updated to reflect the current traffic situation. And thanks to the extensive coverage by TomTom HD Traffic of roads in Germany, customers will always be able to make the right decision when it comes to selecting an alternative route. Customers will get the peace of mind that comes with having the most comprehensive traffic information at their fingertips — both before starting their journey and while driving. "Our goal is to provide the best and most reliable navigation solutions for car drivers. This requires better maps, accurate route times and high quality real time traffic information," Harold Goddijn, TomTom's chief executive officer comments. "The roll out of TomTom HD Traffic in Germany is an important step in our goal to make our superior traffic information service available to 50% of our European customers by the end of 2008. It follows on from the partnerships previously announced with Vodafone for the UK and Dutch markets." "Innovations in the mobile radio industry make our lives easier and more comfortable in many aspects. The new innovative traffic information system from TomTom is not only customer-friendly but it will ensure more efficient use of our road network as well", says Frank Rosenberger, Managing Director Marketing with Vodafone Germany. Both current and future TomTom users will be able to benefit from the service once it is available. The solution will also be available for major automotive manufacturers to include in their navigation solutions, as well as for road authorities and businesses, who may use it for dynamic traffic control management and improved fleet management.

On page 136 of 'The Moral Landscape' Sam discusses obtaining a belief simply because it makes a person feel better. He describes a debate with Philip Ball who believes that a person can acquire a belief simply because it makes him "feel better". Sam asks rhetorically "Has a person like this ever existed? I highly doubt it".
I came from a religion which requires exactly this process for acquisition of a belief or a whole belief system. The Latter Day Saints (the Mormons) have a saying something like "You will know its true buy the burning of the bosom". The idea is that if you repeat some idea, preferable in front of the congregation you will feel a sensation of warmth that will be God affirming the belief to be true.
I wonder if this occurs in other religions as well

I think I've been speaking in too many superlatives lately. It's just I've been fortunate to be traveling and finding so many great places. Either that, or it's just my American side coming out, the one that tends to speak in superlatives. Still (or "Oh my God!", as we say), whenever I find something amazing, I can't help but going a little loopy over it.
For example, could this be the greatest bread bakery ever? Imagine a glassed-in building in the middle of a huge organic garden in Stockholm with a 16-ton wood-fired oven inside. And right in the middle is a well-aged wooden counter that is the center axis of the bakery, where the dough gets shaped before baking, and later becomes the place to gather all the breads and pack them into baskets to be sold at the cafe and the shop next door.

Editors' Note, October 17, 2014: Following the release of the Apple iPad Mini 3, the name of this model has changed from the iPad Mini Retina to iPad Mini 2. Consequently, the pricing for the older version of the Wi-Fi model has decreased to $300 (£240, AU$370) for the 16GB model and $350 (£280, AU$430) the 32GB model. Prices for cellular capable models have also dropped and are now $430 (£340, AU$530) for 16GB and $480 (£380, AU$590) for the 32GB iteration. Click here for more information on the iPad Mini 3.
It's amazing to think that, just a year ago, the iPad Mini was positioned as a smaller "budget" iPad without as much power as the 9.7-inch version. Now it's a powerhouse and a top-end tablet.
Now, there are no limitations. The new iPad Mini has a 2,048x1,526-pixel Retina Display that's exactly the same resolution as the larger iPad, and a far faster 64-bit A7 CPU that parallels what's in the iPhone 5S and iPad Air, plus that M7 co-processor. In fact, you could easily call the iPad Mini with Retina Display a shrunken-down clone of the new iPad Air : it has exactly the same specs as its larger sibling -- or, very nearly. Now the only question is, do you want to pay up for it?
Indeed, that's the only catch with the Mini Retina. These 2013 upgrades come at a price: $399 for the base 16GB configuration. That's $70 more than when the Mini debuted last year (that 2012 model remains on sale, with a price cut to $299). And it's significantly more than rival tablets from Google and Amazon that also offer smallish high-resolution. On the other hand, it's also $100 less than the base iPad Air model.
That raises the question: with two iPads so similar, which do you choose? Do you want to pay $400 for a midsize tablet -- or $500 for its big brother? The new Mini is less expensive, but the Air has the larger screen. Or are you more comfortable with Android and Amazon models that are considerably more affordable?
With the screen and spec caveats of last year's Mini, it presented a real compromise compared with the big iPad of the time. This year? There aren't really any technology drawbacks at all compared with what you get in the full-size iPad, except for a bit of reduction in screen quality and overall system speed (see below), but trust us: the Retina Mini's really like a tiny Air. Mainly, it comes down to a size preference, and value proposition. And, whether you need to pay up for a tablet this powerful. I would; the new Retina Mini is a far better product overall than it was a year ago.
Editors' note: Updated December 3, 2013, with screen testing and observations by David Katzmaier.
Design: A tiny bit heavier and thicker...but you'd never notice
If you pick up the new Mini, it feels a lot like the old Mini. The differences become clear if you look closely, but you'd never know from a distance.
The Mini comes in two colors: white-and-silver looks the same as last year, but the black-and-slate model has been subtly adjusted to "space gray," using the same lighter-metal back as the iPhone 5S and iPad Air.
Other than that, nothing's really changed in the iPad Mini's form. It has the same basic compact design as last year, which the iPad Air now also adopts: thin side bezels, a flat back, and a generally wafer-thin, metal-and-glass look. While it's technically a bit heavier than the older model -- 0.3mm in thickness, and a 23-gram difference for the Wi-Fi version or a 29-gram difference for the LTE model, putting it at 0.73 or 0.75 pound, respectively -- but you'd never know from holding it. Side by side with last year's Mini, it's nearly indistinguishable.
And, it's still that same compact-but-not-quite-pocket-size form (unless you have very large, deep pockets). But, it's that extra size that gives it a huge edge over smaller tablets for running larger iPad apps in semi-miniature.
The Mini was a perfect 10 for its form: why change it? The new Mini, wisely, barely alters the equation.
Retina Display: Worth the wait
Yes. Without a doubt, if you're a big reader, the massive jump in screen resolution is the most welcome change on this Mini. But what's most impressive, and hard to truly appreciate at times, is that there's no drop-off in pixels in the smaller screen size compared with on the Air. And, the Retina Display already looked good on the Air's 9.7-inch display.
It's a big improvement, indeed. Other 7-inch tablets routinely hit 1080p or better resolution, such as the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HDX , with 1,920x1,200-pixel resolutions and 323 pixels per inch. The Mini's 2,048x1,536 resolution amounts to 326 pixels per inch, offering even better pixel density over a larger amount of screen real estate. And the Mini's screen is 7.9 inches with a closer-to-square 4x3 aspect ratio -- not the 7-inch wide-screen form factor of the aforementioned Google and Amazon tablets.
|Screen size
|Aspect ratio
|Apple iPad Mini (2012)
|7.9 inches
|1,024x768 (168ppi)
|Apple iPad Mini with Retina Display
|7.9 inches
|2,048x1,536 (326ppi)
|Google Nexus 7 (2013)
|7 inches
|1,920x1,200 (323ppi)
|Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7
|7 inches
|1,920x1,200 (323ppi)
But, it's a surprisingly subtle upgrade from a distance. Put the non-Retina and Retina models side by side, and it's hard to tell them apart. Get closer, and you'll see the difference right away: finer resolution, and even color quality, are improved.
When looking at photos or reading books or text-heavy documents, you'll see the difference. Like the iPhone's leap to Retina, or the iPad's, it's a level of detail you'll miss after you get used to it, rather than one you'll notice right away.
It's more like a focal adjustment, when reading text.
Videos look great, too, but the smaller screen size and extra letterboxing mean wide-screen movies are still pretty small. I tried out "Cloud Atlas," and the movie at least looked extra-sharp, but the viewing space on a Mini can get cramped.
Retina on the Mini vs. the Air and other tablets: A bit of a drop-off
The Retina Display iPad Mini has a screen resolution that matches the iPad Air's: 2,048x1,536. In 7.9 inches, it's a denser pixel-per-inch resolution. Does that matter? On both iPads, you'd have to take out a jeweler's loupe to see the actual pixels with your own eye. Text on both looks crisp and clean from nearly any distance.
But, in terms of colors and overall picture quality, there is a difference. CNET editor David Katzmaier subjected both, along with the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HDX 7 , to display tests similar to what he's done for select phones . He found that the Retina Mini's grayscale was great, and its contrast in the same ballpark as the others, but its color accuracy and saturation weren't as impressive. Here's the full results of his tests if you're curious.
When David and I looked at a series of test photos, the color differences between the four tablets were apparent, and in highly saturated shots -- particularly a close-up of some red, purple, and orange flowers -- the Mini seemed more washed out and less punchy. In other shots, however, for example the skin tones in children's faces and a black-and-white skull, the Mini's excellent grayscale helped it look as good as the others at times, and more accurate than the Fire HDX in particular. Overall we found ourselves liking the Air the best, followed by the Nexus 7 and then the Fire, with the Mini in last place. It wasn't bad, just not as good as we'd expect.
Does that matter? Well, if you want the best possible display for photos, games, and movies, then yes. But, the Retina Mini's crisp, bright display still looks awfully good for just about everything, and unless you're comparing photos or icons side-by-side, you probably won't miss that lost saturation.
What else is new?
As I mentioned, the Retina Mini has a 64-bit A7 processor, just like the iPhone 5S and iPad Air. It also has an M7 co-processor, which helps track motion and could be used for motion-aware apps and to reduce strain on battery life. It has a better front-facing camera than the last Mini, an improved MIMO Wi-Fi antenna (but no 802.11ac wireless), and improved LTE connectivity internationally for LTE models, plus an extra microphone on the back that auto adjusts and emphasizes environmental audio based on whether you're using the rear- or front-facing camera (for clearer FaceTime calls, for instance).
In a lot of ways, the Retina Mini is much like the iPhone 5S, except it lacks a fingerprint-sensing Touch ID home button; this year's iPad home button still has a square on it, and won't do anything with your fingerprint except collect a slight smudge. Not having Touch ID is a bit of a letdown, but it would have been an utter luxury on a small tablet like this.
Performance: Similar to Air, and a huge leap over last year's Mini
If you're a gamer or a serious user of apps like video-editing or media-rich programs, you'll notice gigantic speed boost on the Mini, thanks to its leap from an A5 last year to an A7 this year. Applications that hiccuped before now run smoothly; multitasking and high-end, demanding tasks like graphics rendering, video editing, and the like are effortless.
Actually, it turns out, the A7 processor on the Retina Mini according to Geekbench 3 tests isn't exactly the same as the iPad Air's: it's 1.29GHz, the same as the iPhone 5S processor, while the 1.39GHz A7 on the iPad Air is a little faster. The new iPad Mini has twice the RAM of the last Mini: 1GB to 512MB, but the same as the Air.
So, maybe it's not too surprising to see the Mini's specs in such a small form, since the even smaller iPhone 5S managed a similar feat. But the Retina Mini is an impressively fast little tablet by any measure. In all our benchmark tests, the new iPad Mini performed a little bit slower than the Air, but close enough to put it in nearly the same territory. It's miles beyond last year's iPad Mini, performing up to 4 to 5x faster or even more depending on the benchmark. And, compared with the Google Nexus 7 released earlier this year, it's a significant leap forward.

TomTom On A Mission To Reduce Traffic For All
May 12 2011
TomTom CEO Harold Goddijn Outlines Company's Traffic Manifesto in the US
Concord, MA, May 12, 2011 – TomTom, the world's leading provider of location and navigation products and services, announced the company's mission to reduce traffic congestion for everyone as part of its Traffic Manifesto. With congestion affecting millions of people every day - creating psychological and economic impacts on both individuals and businesses - TomTom offers immediate and cost-effective solutions to help tackle traffic congestion.
The recent introduction of TomTom HD Traffic to the U.S. not only gives drivers access to the very best in traffic navigation, but it makes drivers who use TomTom HD Traffic the key to reducing traffic congestion for themselves and every driver around them. TomTom's research indicates that it only takes 10% of drivers with TomTom's HD Traffic service to create a real-time "collective effect," making roads flow more efficiently and reducing journey times for all.
"For many drivers, traffic congestion has become inevitable," said Harold Goddijn, TomTom CEO. "We think it's time to challenge conventional thinking with a working solution to reduce traffic congestion on a large scale."
TomTom's Traffic Manifesto outlines four key action areas, designed to accelerate mass adoption of intelligent route guidance systems. The company states that it will continue to work with individuals, businesses, organizations and governments to see the full scope of its plans become a reality. The four commitments outlined in the Manifesto are:
- TomTom will encourage and inspire people to play a role in reducing traffic congestion.
- TomTom will increase the availability of TomTom HD Traffic.
- TomTom will lead the continuous improvement of traffic and route guidance technology.
- TomTom will bring together key traffic stakeholders to share ideas and drive actions forward.
"We know that traffic congestion is not going to disappear completely, but we can do something significant to reduce it today," added Goddijn. "We're embarking on this mission because we love driving and hate traffic, and know that millions of drivers around the world feel this way too. We genuinely believe that TomTom has a role to play in helping to reduce traffic congestion in countries all over the world."
The company is committed to bringing its Traffic Manifesto around the world, following its introduction in Europe late last year. The Manifesto has been unveiled in the U.S. market following the recent introduction of TomTom's HD Traffic service to the U.S. in April on the new TomTom GO 2535 M LIVE and its availability on TomTom.com. TomTom is further delivering on this commitment by extending its portfolio of real time traffic products to its range of industry partners.
