Apple Drops '4G' From iPad's Name
Michael Harper for RedOrbit.com
When Apple introduced their newest iPad in March, they also introduced their very first product to utilize the next generation of high-speed wireless connectivity, 4G LTE.
Here in the States, customers of AT&T and Verizon can take advantage of the high speed LTE capabilities. However, customers elsewhere in the world, like Australia and UK aren´t as lucky.
While these 4G iPads will still access lesser 3G or HSPA+ networks, they are not always compatible with other countrie's 4G networks. Now some have taken Apple to task over this issue, most notably the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and the UK´s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
So, in a move slightly indicative of the "softer" side of Cook´s Apple, the Cupertino company has dropped the words "4G" from their branding. For instance, the Australian Apple Website now lists the iPad as having "Wi-Fi+Cellular.". This change has also been made in American stores as AT&T and Verizon continue to roll out their 4G and LTE networks.
The description in the Australian and UK stores say the iPad "connects to the Internet over Wi-Fi and fast mobile data networks,"
While in the American store the description says, "connects to the Internet over Wi-Fi and fast mobile data networks – up to 4G LTE."
Explaining their changes, Apple has said in a statement to BBC News "Carriers do not all refer to their high speed networks with the same terminology." "Therefore we've decided to use 'Wi-fi + cellular' as a simple term which describes all the high speed networks supported by the new iPad."
"The advanced wireless features of the new iPad have not changed," it added.
This change comes after the ACCC and ASA have complained that the new iPad doesn´t work on their 4G networks and therefore does not offer 4G speed to their users.
The ACCC took Apple to court over the matter, and was able to get them to offer refunds to those customers who may want one, as well as emailing these customers to make them aware of the iPad´s inability to run on the high-speed network. The ACCC also requested Apple to place stickers on all iPad boxes as well as change their promotional material and title of the iPad.
At first, Apple argued about the speed of 4G, saying that Australia´s HSPA+ 3G networks offered similar speeds as 4G.
Originally, the ACCC was seeking financial penalties in Australia´s Federal Court, as well as advertising corrective measures and an injunction on the device. Now, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, the ACCC is only likely to pursue the financial penalties in court.
This move is also seen as an attempt to satisfy requests from the UK´s ASA, as they were able to get an assurance from Apple that their advertising for the iPad would change. According to BBC, the ASA has been working closely with Apple to "amend the way the iPad is advertised" in the UK. A spokesman for the ASA told the BBC, "We will be checking the amendments to ensure they adhere to the Advertising Code."

Thanks for the offer. I can get to Hollister as quickly from my place as I can get to Frank Rains, and the trail selection is better. Much cooler now also.
You ever get up to Carnegie? That's the closest place for me for a quick day ride.

Lets do it again soon!
It was good to meet & ride with you Ed. How about next Tuesday?
I should have brought my camera on the trail. The Renz hills were covered in purple lupines. Then we got to the Tiger trail and it was closed.
Apparently the horny tiger salamanders come out on the trail once a year for a BIG ORGY!!!
I've got errands to run in Tracy next Tuesday (May 7th), so I'll head out to Carnegie that morning for some singletrack first. Temps back to normal by then. Look for my dark-green Tundra between Moto Mart & the restrooms at 9am. Let me know if you are coming!

Re: Bus travel Athens-Nafplio-Kalamata
In Greece the best way to get bus schedules and cost info is to ask help from your hotel desk. They can get the info for you - sometimes they refuse even your tip for this service.
I always feel more freedom with a car and a good (updated) map in my hands, while I save also a lot of time. But, is it wise to pay rental for a car sleeping in a parking for a week?

Crews report progress against Yosemite fire
TUOLUMNE CITY, Calif. Crews are finally gaining ground on a massive wildfire burning near Yosemite National Park as fire officials expressed optimism even as the blaze grew larger while containment jumped to 20 percent.
As flames lapped at the edge of the main reservoir that supplies San Francisco, fears that the inferno could disrupt water or power to the city diminished.
"It looks great out there. No concerns," Glen Stratton, an operations section chief on the blaze, said of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir.
Nearly 3,700 firefighters battled the roughly 252-square-mile fire, the biggest wildfire on record in California's Sierra Nevada.
Weather conditions forecast for Wednesday may bring challenges in the morning as heavy smoke settles low to the ground, limiting visibility, but higher humidity was expected in the afternoon which could help dampen the flames, said Matt Mehle, a National Weather Service meteorologist assigned to the fire.
Crews remained confident they could protect hydroelectric transmission lines and other utility facilities at the reservoir, the chief source of San Francisco's famously pure drinking water.
"I don't foresee any problems," Stratton said.
Utility officials monitored the basin's clarity and used a massive new $4.6 billion gravity-operated pipeline system to move water quickly to reservoirs closer to the city.
So far the ash that has been raining onto the reservoir has not sunk as far as the intake valves, which are about halfway down the 300-foot O'Shaughnessy Dam. Utility officials said the ash is non-toxic but that the city will begin filtering water for customers if problems are detected.
Power generation there was shut down last week so firefighters would not be imperiled by live wires. San Francisco is buying replacement power from other sources to run City Hall and municipal buildings.
It has been at least 17 years since fire ravaged the northernmost stretch of Yosemite that now is under siege.
Park officials cleared brush and set sprinklers on two groves of giant sequoias that were less than 10 miles away from the fire's front lines, said park spokesman Scott Gediman. While sequoias have a chemical in their bark to help them resist fire, they can be damaged when flames move through slowly with such intense heat.
The fire has swept through steep Sierra Nevada river canyons and stands of thick oak and pine, closing in on Tuolumne City and other mountain communities. It has confounded ground crews with its 300-foot walls of flame and the way it has jumped from treetop to treetop.
Crews spent Monday bulldozing firebreaks to protect Tuolumne City, several miles from the fire's edge.
Stratton said they would continue working to burn vegetation in the fire's path to slow its march toward town. He said that while the community remains in harm's way, "I'm pretty optimistic."
Meanwhile, biologists with the Forest Service are studying the effect on wildlife. Much of the area that has burned is part of the state's winter-range deer habitat. Biologist Crispin Holland said most of the large deer herds would still be well above the fire danger.

April 24, 2013
Gwyneth Paltrow and Leonardo DiCaprio were good friends at the beginning of their careers, and DiCaprio's eating habits left quite the impression on Paltrow. It turns out he helped steer Paltrow in the direction of a healthier lifestyle.
"He was vegetarian and he'd talk about how dirty meat is and how bad factory farming is," Paltrow revealed. "I haven't eaten red meat in 20 years and although Leo's not totally responsible he definitely planted a seed."
Paltrow also reveals she didn't start cooking until she was 19-years-old and she made major changes to her diet when her father was diagnosed with cancer. Read more about her eating habits here.

Oil falls below $109 a barrel
More News from Associated Press
popular .
The price of oil fell below $109 a barrel Thursday, easing off its two-year high as momentum for an attack on Syria appeared to slow.
Oil "is really going up and down with Syria," said Paul Christopher, Chief International Strategist at Wells Fargo Investors. Concern of an imminent attack against Syria "seems to have abated."
New hurdles appeared to be slowing the formation of an international coalition to undertake a military strike against the Arab nation, which is suspected of a chemical weapons attack. Russia blocked British efforts to force a resolution at the United Nations. British Prime Minister David Cameron said his country would wait to join any military efforts until a U.N chemical weapons inspection team releases its findings.
The price of oil has surged 26 percent since touching a low for the year of $86.68 on April 17. It has jumped because of political unrest in Egypt and the threat of U.S. intervention in Syria's civil war. Neither country is a major oil exporter, but traders are concerned that the violence could spread to more important oil-exporting countries or disrupt major oil transport routes.
U.S. benchmark oil for October delivery rose $1.09, or 1 percent, to $110.10 a barrel on Wednesday, driven higher by the prospect of Western military intervention in Syria's civil war.
The price was oil's highest closing level since May 3, 2011.
On Thursday, when an attack seemed less imminent, oil fell $1.30, or 1.2 percent, to $108.80 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
A rise in U.S. crude inventories helped lower the price.
The Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said crude stockpiles for the week ended Aug. 23 climbed by 3 million barrels to 362.1 million barrels. Analysts had expected a slight fall.
Rising supplies tend to hold oil prices down.
Oil was also pushed lower by a stronger dollar, which makes crude priced in dollars more expensive and a less attractive investment for traders using other currencies. On Thursday, the euro was down to $1.3244 from $1.3340 late Wednesday in New York.
Brent crude, the benchmark for international crudes, fell $1.06 cents to $115.38 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on Nymex:
— Heating oil lost 2.3 cents to $3.19 per gallon.
— Natural gas rose 3.6 cents to $3.62 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Wholesale gasoline fell 3.10 cents to $2.93 per gallon.

Well... It all started when I had a new convertible top installed. I believe the shop used the sun visor swivel mounts as a base to clamp to in order to stretch the new top into place. In the process they broke the mounts. I was replacing the mounts when, as Murphy's Law requires, I ran a screw into the back of the windshield glass and voila', I now have a cracked windshield.
My question is this... In order to replace the windshield is it necessary to remove the entire windshield frame from the car? Can it be replaced leaving the side (vertical) supports in place (or perhaps just loosened) and sliding the windshield out/in the top?
Any help is, as always, greatly appreciated.

Welcome home: Tough trip forgotten as Griz rout Timberwolves
The Grizzlies decided at halftime they weren't going to play around with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
And that turned out to be half true. The more serious they got on defense, the more the Griz appeared to be toying with the visitors offensively.
Reserve guard Jerryd Bayless' open-court windmill slam highlighted a third-quarter surge that featured alley oops and 3-pointers that helped the Grizzlies run away with a 92-77 victory Monday night in FedExForum.
"We knew we had to come out and put them away," Bayless said about the Griz building a 25-point lead in the third quarter.
The Grizzlies (45-21) played their first home game after a taxing road trip that featured four games in five nights. There was plenty of pep in their step for the homecoming, and Memphis nailed its eighth straight home win.
Minnesota withered under the pressure of Memphis' second-half defense. The Timberwolves missed 17 of 21 shots in that decisive period.
Playing the second game of a back-to-back, Minnesota (23-42) couldn't match Memphis' intensity. The Griz turned the Timberwolves' lazy passes into turnovers and fast-break opportunities. Memphis also hounded Minnesota into taking tough shots, making it difficult for the Timberwolves to get clean looks in the paint.
Luke Ridnour's air ball from 3-point range midway through the period epitomized the Timberwolves' offensive struggles.
"We just played very poorly offensively and never really gave ourselves a chance to win," Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman said. "(The Griz) are very aggressive. We didn't move the ball well. I did think we ran out of gas. At the start of the third quarter, it was like we had nothing left. They're a very good team and took advantage of it."
The first quarter and half of the second is the only time when the Timberwolves looked competitive. The Griz clung to a 45-39 lead at halftime.
"We came out slow in the first quarter," Griz coach Lionel Hollins said. "We were dragging a little bit. But we got it going. We actually played pretty good. We got the 25-point lead and milked it to the end."
Point guard Mike Conley's 20 points and six assists led the Grizzlies. Marc Gasol chipped in 16 points and Bayless had 15 off the bench.
Conley and Bayless hooked up early in the third for an alley-oop dunk that Bayless bobbled but threw down.
Memphis made its first six shots and eight of nine to start the second half.
"It was great to get home, get back in front of the fans and sleep in your own bed," Conley said.
Hot topic
Conley picked up two steals and broke his own franchise record (144) for steals in a single season. Conley needed just one steal, and got it with 6:27 left in the opening period. He now has 146 steals and has recorded a steal in an NBA season-high 57 straight games.
Zach Randolph and Tayshaun Prince dominated their frontcourt matchups with Andrei Kirilenko and Derrick Williams, evident by their double-doubles. Randolph finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Prince had 12 points and a season-high 14 boards. Kirilenko and Williams combined for 16 points and seven rebounds. Williams was coming off a Sunday performance in which he recorded a career-high 28 points against New Orleans. Kirilenko played just 16 minutes. Adelman said he planned to put Kirilenko back in the game but decided against it when turned blowout.
The other guys
Minnesota lost for the eighth straight time on the road, and owns a 7-26 record away from the Target Center this season. The Timberwolves, depleted by injuries most of the season, fell to 1-16 when scoring less than 90 points.
That's what he said
"I like the way we responded. Obviously, they came out with the first punch. Then, we came out in the third and got a feel for what we wanted to do." — Griz shooting guard Tony Allen on methodically increasing the lead after ending the first period up 22-20.
Health status
Griz rookie guard Tony Wroten returned to the rotation after sitting out with a migraine Saturday night at Utah. Reserve forward Darrell Arthur missed his eighth straight game because of neck and back soreness. Arthur said he would practice Tuesday and attempt to play Wednesday against Oklahoma City. He suffered the injury March 3 after a fall during a win at Orlando.
Roster moves
The final score wasn't indicative of how the game played out. Memphis took a 74-53 lead into the fourth quarter with a lineup that featured Gasol, Bayless, Quincy Pondexter, Austin Daye and Ed Davis. Hollins didn't like what he saw from that group and began re-inserting his starters when Minnesota cut Memphis' lead to 16 points.
"When I subbed, some of the guys weren't playing as hard as they needed to play," Hollins said. "We're trying to build something special. I don't know if can do it or not. You have to work toward it and that's to contend for a championship. It's important to build on that every day. Every day you come into the gym you have to work hard. You can't say 'Well, there's not a game' or 'we are playing this team or that team.' You've got to do what you do every day."
The Griz earned their 10th straight win over the Timberwolves. That's the longest winning streak over an opponent in franchise history. Memphis is 8-0 when Conley scores 20-plus points.
By the numbers
2: The game was played in less than two hours, rare in today's NBA.
18-4: The Grizzlies' run to start the second half.
50: Memphis outscored Minnesota 50-28 in the paint.

Revised Mass. Gambling Bill Won't Criminalize Online Poker 104
Posted by timothy

from the us-rule-v.-british-rule dept.
travdaddy writes "As reported on Slashdot only about a week ago, a passage of a gambling bill in Massachusetts would have criminalized online poker. That passage has been stricken due to the help of a grass-roots organization called the Poker Players Alliance. It 'quickly got the message to all of its Massachusetts members — around 25,000 people — and over 1,000,000 nationwide to make their voices heard; apparently lawmakers were listening since the language making online poker illegal — and online gaming in general — was taken out of the legislation.' Another Massachusetts bill may even 'take [poker] completely out of the gambling genre' and make it legislated as a game of skill."

Last weekend, we finished up our 2014 regular season for lacrosse in style.
Sports Authority field at Mile High is the home to the Denver Broncos (and Peyton Manning), and is the largest stadium in the state of Colorado. A strange thing to think about is that Mile High, despite being a giant building of over 75,000 seats, is only really used for 8-14 days per year.
The Broncos play their 8 home games every year, and the Denver Outlaws, the professional lacrosse team, also play their home games there. But otherwise, Mile High sits empty for 90% of the year.
However, we had the pleasure of getting to in it last weekend. This is actually the 2nd time in 3 years that we have gotten to play in Mile High. Every year the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Showdown is one of the biggest games in the MCLA (the club lacrosse league) and we had the pleasure of playing it in Mile High this year.
Going into the game we were ranked #2 in the country and CSU was #4 nationally, making this arguably the biggest game of the club lacrosse season (admittedly I am a bit biased). At any rate, we went out and had a blast, and came out ahead 9-6 over in-state little brother.

Excited to be live blogging from the NACCE Miami Dade College Summit!
Presenter: Doan Winkel, NACCE Entrepreneurial Leadership Fellow
How Do Ecosystems Work and Why are They Needed?
'Entrepreneur is someone who thinks differently and sees an opportunity and how to solve it. Ecosystems grow over generations. Make sure there is diversity (YES!) and you celebrate small victories. Entrepreneurs should build it but be sure to involve ecosystem partners like academia and government. Vibrant ecosystems grow economies.'
'Recruiting businesses is insufficient. You grow a local economy where people want to live when you launch and grow businesses. People will want to live there, engage in meaningful work and people purse their passions. It is an exciting place to live!'
Seed Entrepreneurship Across Generations
'Incite entrepreneurial thinking from kindergarten to career. Don't start at the educational system. Start this work in the community and offer an experiential opportunity and be inclusive. Excite the community and show results and then go to your local institution.'
How do you teach entrepreneurship?
'Innovate in the classroom. Lecturing does not work. Provides experiential learning experiences. Do not just model the real world, but create it (and get out into it).'
'Give your students the ownership of their classroom experience - students choose content, grade themselves, mentoring each other, create discussion, give assignments and assess the learning.'

ATLANTA — There could be crises from here to the Super Bowl, starting with the revelation that Michael Crabtree is being investigated by San Francisco police in connection with an alleged sexual assault.
Crabtree hasn't been charged with anything. He traveled with the team to Atlanta and is expected to play Sunday.
But, without knowing any of the details of this alleged incident, the timing of it had Super Bowl echoes.

Fugitive arrested for elderly crimes in Tenn.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - U.S. Marshals in Memphis say a woman wanted for numerous violent crimes against the elderly in Tennessee and other states has been arrested in California.
The U.S. Marshals Mid-South Fugitive Task Force said in a news release that Cassandra Henry and her husband Corry Henry were arrested Thursday in Claremont, Calif. Corry Henry was wanted for violating his federal supervised release.
Cassandra Henry was wanted in multiple states for robbing and assaulting the elderly and nursing home patients. Authorities said she would enter their homes and take money, credit cards and other things and use the cards to purchase items at local stores.
The Tunica County Sheriff's Department arrested Cassandra Henry in April 2009 at the Horseshoe Casino in Tunica, Miss., but Deputy U.S. Marshal Lamont Ruffin said she violated her bond conditions and they have been looking for her ever since.

MY TEN-YEAR-OLD SON, Keith, is a bright child who brings home good grades from a fine school in suburban Chicago, but when I asked him over dinner one evening if he could draw a picture of the Illinois state flag, he hesitated, looked embarrassed, and finally said, "I don't think so." After an awkward moment, his face brightened as he remembered where I grew up. "But I can draw the Texas flag," he announced proudly.
You may conclude that they teach odd stuff at Keith's school. Not really. It's just that he has spent nearly all his life in Illinois, where displays of the state flag are so rare that they might as well be officially banned, but he's also taken weeklong trips each year to visit his grandparents in Austin, which have profusely exposed him to the flag of Texas. Seeking further confirmation of my suspicions, I asked my older sister, who has lived in Chicago for 24 years, to describe the Illinois flag. "It's light blue and white," she replied, "with red stars in the middle." A perfect description … of the Chicago city flag. When I pointed out the Illinois flag, she couldn't remember ever having seen it before. Even my wife, a native of Illinois, couldn't conjure up its image in her mind.
When it comes to flags, it's Texas, not Illinois, that is unique. In most places, the locals take about as much pride in the state flag as they do in the state bird. They may not even know what the flag looks like, and they don't really care. In Texas, by contrast, you see it everywhere—not only on flagpoles, but also on T-shirts, caps, license plates, and bumper stickers. Nowhere else, I'll venture, can you buy running shorts patterned after your state flag.
Flags first came into use for purposes of warfare: to identify one's forces, to inspire the troops, even to signal wind direction to assist the aim of archers. Mainly, they were intended to provide quick identification in less-than-perfect viewing conditions, since confusion on the battlefield can be fatal. "Wording therefore tends to be excluded," says the Encyclopaedia Britannica, "and the simpler patterns are favoured."
If you've ever seen what flies over most state capitols, you'll understand why hardly anyone pays attention. Illinois' flag is simply mediocre—a white banner with an eagle in the center surrounded by a jumble of images and words that are impossible to make out beyond a distance of twenty feet; about the best that can be said is that it would suffice if you were faring poorly in a battle and needed to surrender. Hawaii's, which consists of red, white, and blue horizontal stripes with a Union Jack in the upper left corner, looks as though it accidentally wandered away from the British Empire. Ohio uses a five-sided pennant that would be perfectly at home in a sailboat regatta. So would Rhode Island's, a white square with an anchor. Drape yourself in the Maryland flag, an eye-torturing riot consisting of two yellow-and-black squares arrayed against a pair of red-and-white blocks, and you will shortly be named to Mr. Blackwell's worst-dressed list. Alabama's stark red X on a white square has all the charm of a traffic sign.
Many flags lack even ugly originality. Nearly half of them are dreary variations on a single theme: blue rectangles with what looks like scrambled eggs in the middle. Several, in a halfhearted attempt to distinguish themselves, resort to including their state's name. But the image is supposed to speak for itself; putting "Kansas" on the state flag is akin to having the God of the Sistine Chapel flash an ID. (Try to imagine "The United States of America" printed across the Stars and Stripes.) Since states fly their flags almost exclusively within their borders, the practice of including names suggests that, say, Oregon is home to hordes of dullards who have to be reminded just what that banner is every time they see it.
Not every state flag is so bad. California's lumbering grizzly bear evokes the state's natural wonders as well as its western history. There is ample charm in South Carolina's spare, eccentric design: a crescent moon floating over a palmetto tree on a navy-blue field. Washington, whose flag is the only one featuring a recognizable portrait of a person (George Washington, of course), is also the only green one. Alaska, like many states, employs stars, but these call to mind actual stars, because they're arrayed in the pattern of the Big Dipper. Arizona's aggressively colorful flag gets points for taking risks and answers a football trivia question: What are those red, blue, and yellow sunburst designs on the jerseys of the Arizona Cardinals? Perhaps the most enchanting flag is, appropriately, from the Land of Enchantment: New Mexico's bright yellow rectangle with a red Pueblo sun symbol in the center is distinctive and unforgettable.
Texas went through a lengthy process of experimentation with its own emblem. As Charles E. Gilbert, Jr., notes in his 1964 book, Flags of Texas, several flags were used by rebellious Texans during the war for independence. Among those supposedly flying over the Alamo when it fell was one duplicating the red, white, and green Mexican flag—but with "1824"in the center to signify support for the Mexican constitution of 1824. But Texans soon wanted something that set them apart from their former rulers. One feature that appeared in several flags was a single five-pointed star. It was incorporated, for instance, into a flag Sarah Dodson designed for a company of Harrisburg, Kentucky, volunteers that included her husband. (The flag had vertical stripes of blue, white, and red, with the star in the blue; turn the white and red stripes ninety degrees and you have Texas' current flag.) According to legend, the first official flag of the Republic of Texas was blue with a white star in the middle, encircled by the word "Texas." Its successor kept the star but colored it gold and dropped

ClassicsOnline Home » BURMAN, R.: Descartes - An Introduction
Writing for the everyman, the student and the philosopher alike, René Descartes (1596–1650) is one of the first philosophers to be read by students of philosophy and is arguably one of the best known. Containing Discourse on the Method (abridged), selections from Principles of Philosophy, and a complete version of his philosophical masterpiece, Meditations, this audiobook covers the sceptical method, the formation of his now famous 'I think, therefore I am' quotation, the existence of God, and the reconstruction of his doubted world.
Descartes (1596–1650)
An Introduction
René Descartes is usually one of the first philosophers to be read by students of philosophy and is arguably one of the best known, with his pithy 'Cogito ergo sum' quotation ('I think, therefore I am') even appearing on 21st-century T-shirts and coffee mugs. Written for the everyman, the student, and the philosopher alike, the ideas and concepts in the Discourse on the Method, Meditations and Principles of Philosophy are still part of modern culture. The three Matrix films used the idea of a massive computer controlling every aspect of reality, remarkably similar to Descartes's evil demon. But whereas the films retain the evil nature of the computer, Descartes makes his demon a benevolent God to aid the (rather weak) rebuilding of trust.
Listeners to these essays may be left a trifle confused, asking themselves, does Descartes actually answer anything? It almost seems that, in dismissing all that cannot be trusted, Descartes writes himself into a corner. He dismisses the teachings of others, the evidence of the senses, and the truths of mathematics until there seems to be nothing left to build reality upon, apart from his 'Cogito' catchphrase, and God. It could also be said that one reason for his obsession with the existence of God is that it gives him a hasty scaffold with which to shore up his ruined house.
This is, however, doing Descartes a disservice. In his defence it should be mentioned that it is a common error to hold that 'all that can brought into doubt' does not exist or should be disregarded; one should merely be aware of their poor foundations. Also, 'I think, therefore I am' (or rather 'I am a thinking thing') is a fundamental truth to Descartes's epistemology, or theory of knowledge. It started a journey of argument that ran from the medieval to the modern. Thinkers such as Locke (1632–1704), Berkeley (1685–1753) and Hume (1711–1776) argued that knowledge came from either external sense data (empiricism) or, as Descartes argued, from the mind (idealism). (That was until Kant (1724–1804) came along and in careful prose steered a winding course between the two.) It was Descartes's idealism that would force him to his separation of the mind and body, which he could only align through the arbitrary use of the pineal gland.
The Renaissance is seen as this moment of change from the medieval world to the modern, when learning stipulated by religious dogma was rejected. The proliferation of Gutenberg's printing press with movable type, invented 200 years earlier, allowed books to become more available, taking the control of knowledge and learning away from the Church and diluting its authority over people's thoughts. This power and control can still be detected throughout Descartes's almost obsessive revisiting of his 'proofs of the existence of God', showing, if not a terror of the power of the Church then a desire to reconcile his thinking with the authority of the time.
Descartes was a renaissance man, a true polymath, a brilliant mathematician whose workings and theories hold more practical use today than his philosophy. He was also a physicist and biologist who had written extensively on the workings of the eye, and, among much else, a soldier and popular (by all accounts) 'man about town'. No dusty academic then. He had the time and the money to think, write and apply himself at a time of great intellectual change. He sought a return to an era when logic and argument ruled intellectual life, rather than dogma and dictum. He makes it clear throughout his philosophical works that his is a personal journey, one which everyone should make. We should not take his conclusions as fact or 'the answer'. The Discourse on the Method is just that, a means by which we can all make a journey through our own intellect; the Meditations are an account of his journey, a travelogue of the mind; and the Principles of Philosophy form a corpus of his thoughts, considered and documented.
In the abridged section from the Discourse, presented here, we find his reasons for starting on his journey: having spent a cold, disturbed night in the 'oven' of a house in the Bavarian village of Ulm, Descartes wakes with a need to reorder and redefine his understanding. This is an interesting and personal image, explained by the fact that ovens in houses at that time, and from that area in Europe, were large room affairs where the fire of the house was constantly tended. Although not philosophically important, it does, however, throw up a significant point about Descartes: that it is the style and intimacy of his writing that makes him so accessible. He is, like all philosophers, careful in his construction; it is easy for an argument to be lost or dismissed on linguistic or semantic grounds. There is, though, a vibrancy and immediacy to his style that places the reader next to Descartes as he sits in his chair and ponders, say, his piece of wax. It is this immediacy, rather than a lofty, careful, almost pedantic style of writing, that gives Descartes his accessibility today. Only David Hume matches him for sheer brio.
This is one reason why Descartes is still so widely read; but why is he still such a potent force in the philosophy of today? Descartes holds more weight and importance than an entertaining, some might say superficial, style might deserve. We have seen his scepticism destroy his certainty of the world. We have seen his constant 'proofs of God' become more placation than restoration. What answers does Descartes have left? The answer is: it's not important. What is important is the journey—i.e. the means, not the end. Descartes is important not because he found the answers but because he went looking for them. The doubt and scepticism is what we should take from Descartes and apply to our own existence. In this superficial, media- and celebrity-obsessed world of political intrigue, religious uncertainty and alternative medicines, a mote of doubt and investigation would not go amiss. Descartes has shown us that this is not only possible but essential, given that we are able to use our own minds to create our own existence.
But that's only my opinion. What do you think?

Hi All! I want to make a flash template, but do not know where to start. Please advise steps. If there are examples – will be grateful to see them.
Simply put… Text can be rendered in flash. Any Vector-like drawing can be done in flash. Any graphics need to be sliced from the template and imported and you simply repositions things and add the code.
So… just start cutting things out and importing them.
thx,zado! what about xml? such as flash xml site
smashingmagazine.com just had a post in the last few weeks linking to flash tutorials http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/01/17/adobe-flash-tutorials-best-of/
I think that one post should have links to most of your questions.

If you missed last week's live broadcast of Super Podcast Action Committee (Episode 110), you can watch the video replay on YouTube or download it below. On this week's show hosts Andrew Eisen and E.
On this week's show hosts Andrew Eisen and E. Zachary Knight talked about suspended California Senator Leland Yee's case, all the changes over at Twitch, the father who took his young sons to a war zone because they wanted to play the new Call of Duty game, Verizon throttling unlimited data plan customers, and a whole lot more. You can watch the video to your left right now.
Super Podcast Action Committee records live every Saturday at 6p PST on GamePolitics.com.
Leland Yee, best known to GP readers as the California state senator who wasted over 1.3 million tax payer dollars in a failed bid to introduce a law that would criminalize the sale of particularly violent video games to minors, was arrested earlier this year and brought up on federal racketeering charges.
Yee is accused of a bunch of unsavory deeds ranging from soliciting bribes in exchange for political favors to attempting to broker an arms deal.

I use Time Warner Cable for my broadband internet service. Why? Because I have no choice. TWC is the only provider available in my area. It's either TWC or no wired internet.
You may have noticed that when it comes to broadband internet service in America, you almost certainly have only one option for a service provider - if you have an option at all, that is. There are plenty of rural areas that have no service, period.

He said, she said.
If you're a Verizon customer, you might have experienced less than optimal performance when trying to stream movies from Netflix. If you're not a Verizon customer, well, word on the street is that Netflix doesn't perform so hot for Verizon customers.
Netflix says it's Verizon's fault. Verizon says it's Netflix's fault?
Who do you think is to blame? Netflix? Verizon? One of those intermediaries like Level 3 or Cogent? Gremlins? The Illuminati perhaps?
Some of our listeners have asked us to make audio versions of the live episodes of our podcast, Super Podcast Action Committee.
Since we're people pleasers (according to what our therapist tells us) we have made the last two episodes available via iTunes and at the links below:
Watch a random video on YouTube and it's probably some person playing a video game. Or talking about a video game.
Or it's a cat.
Point is, a lot of people record videos of themselves playing video games. Some of them (26% of producers with over 5000 subscribers according to Gamasutra's small survey) received money from the game's publisher/developer to make the video.
This Saturday, July 12th at 6:15p PST, Super Podcast Action Committee is going to live stream its 105th episode on Twitch TV and we'd love you to drop buy and hang out with us!
There will be a live chat running so it will be a lot easier to chat with EZK, myself and other viewers while we discuss super important topics like:
Video games are fun but boy howdy can they be frustrating at times. Failing over and over at the same task can sometimes be enough to make even Ms. Manners herself cut loose with the colorful language.
Why, sometimes we can get so fed up with a game that we have to stop playing right this bloody second and hit the console's power button without even saving the game first.
But have you ever raged hard enough at a video game that you broke the controller?
In an interview with Polygon earlier this week, "Orcs Must Die! Unchained" designer Jerome K. Jones opined that toxic players, gamers who don't conduct themselves in a polite or civil manner and serve to make the game a miserable experience for many others, are good for games.
On this week's show hosts Andrew Eisen and E. Zachary Knight talk about Nintendo president Satoru Iwata's health and being reelected by the company's board, a bunch of topics related to Electronic Arts, and whether Microsoft should bother selling the Kinect separately from the Xbox One. All this and more awaits in the latest episode of the Super PAC. Download Episode 104 now: SuperPAC Episode 104 (1 hour, 13 minutes) 84.1 MB.
Earlier this month, Microsoft gave consumers the option to buy the Xbox One without the Kinect for $399, a C-note of savings. Since then, GameStop reported a significant uptick in Xbox One sales.

Zachary Knight is joined by guest host Jeremy Powers to talk about Ubisoft's ongoing controversy about including female characters and its response to the Watch Dogs PC mod, Playstation Now pricing, and some stuff on YouTubers.

It's E3 week and Microsoft, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Sony and Nintendo are doing their damnedest to convince us to buy their stuff.
Earlier this week, Nintendo had a digital event announcing it's upcoming games while the other four hosted full press conferences. Who had the best show?
If you need a refresher, you can read our recaps here:
Last week we asked our readers, Who Will Have the Biggest Gaffe During Its E3 Presentation? A slight majority of those who voted believed that Microsoft would have the most mistakes during its Xbox E3 press event that took place on Monday.
On this week's show hosts Andrew Eisen and E. Zachary Knight talk about who the GamePolitics community thinks will make the biggest E3 gaffe this year, President Obama name-dropping The Witcher, the new GOG.com DRM-free and platform-agnostic multiplayer client (Galaxy) and Verizon threatening to sue Netflix for talking about its service performance (This show was recorded prior to all of this week's E3 press conferences and announcements).
The Electronics Entertainment Expo is next week and kicking it off is a round of press conferences where the biggest publishers will try and dazzle you with game announcements and spectacle in an attempt to win your dollars.
Of course, these presentations rarely go off without a hitch. Everything from technical failures such as Nintendo's Skyward Sword demo from 2011 or EA's Battlefield 4 false start last year to horrible hosts such as "Mr. Caffeine" from Ubisoft's 2011 presser and Jamie Kennedy who MC'd Activision's show in 2007.
Update: You can watch the show live here or to your left.
At 8 pm EST (5 pm PST) we'll be hosting the 100th episode of the Super Podcast Action Committee on Youtube live. We'll be discussing Nintendo's latest misstep related to sharing revenue with Let's Play video makers on YouTube and what we all would like to see in a few weeks at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.
Last year, Nintendo pissed off a good chunk of the internet by smacking a bunch of YouTube Let's Play videos with copyright claims, seeking to suck up all the ad revenue generated by videos of fans playing its games.
In the face of angry fans, something a company struggling to sell its new console really doesn't need, Nintendo backed off.
Starting June 9th, gamers will be able to purchase the Xbox One without the Kinect for $399.99, the same price the PS4 currently retails for.
That should level the playing field a bit, no?
As of early April, Sony announced that it had sold more than 7 million units. Microsoft says Xbox One has sold more than 5 million. Will unbundling the Kinect help the Xbox One sell more consoles? Enough to catch the PS4 by the year's end?
On this week's show hosts Andrew Eisen and E.

Chuck enough money at 'em and you're usually entitled to various rewards ranging from a "thank you!" to a copy of whatever the heck the project is to a dinner-date with the project creators.
On this week's show hosts Andrew Eisen and E.

When you purchase a Humble Bundle, not only do you get to pick the price you pay, you get to decide how it's divided up between charity, the developers of the bundle's games or Humble Bundle itself.
This week's poll asks how you usually split up your payment. Do you go all charity? Give it all to the devs? Do you spread the love around?
Or hey, maybe you've never bought a Humble Bundle.
