Re: next gen kepler to support dx 11.1, also take a year to rollout all cards
Here's a quote from the anandtech review and why GP-GPU is getting so much attention
....Bottom of the page.
So long as you only want to handle the highly parallel workloads VLIW is fine. But using VLIW as the basis of a compute architecture is going is limit what tasks your processor is sufficiently good at. If you want to handle a wider spectrum of compute workloads you need a more general purpose architecture, and this is the situation AMD faced.
But why does AMD want to chase compute in the first place when they already have a successful graphics GPU business? In the long term GCN plays a big part in AMDs Fusion plans, but in the short term theres a much simpler answer: because they have to.
In Q32011 NVIDIAs Professional Solutions Business (Quadro + Tesla) had an operating income of 95M on 230M in revenue. Their (consumer) GPU business had an operating income of 146M, but on a much larger 644M in revenue. Professional products have much higher profit margins and its a growing business, particularly the GPU computing side. As it stands NVIDIA and AMD may have relatively equal shares of the discrete GPU market, but its NVIDIA that makes all the money. For AMDs GPU business its no longer enough to focus only on graphics, they need a larger piece of the professional product market to survive and thrive in the future. And thus we have GCN.
Basically gaming isn't enough anymore and AMD wants of piece of that compute market, wich is highly profitable, hence why the GCN shader architecture was developed and they didn't stick with VLIW as in previous AMD GPU's...

LOS ANGELES – Ryan Getzlaf is a Hart Trophy finalist for the first time, but the likelihood isn't strong that he will be selected as the NHL's most valuable player instead of Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby.
There is the Conn Smythe Trophy that goes to the MVP of the Stanley Cup playoffs. That one is also available and Getzlaf could be in the mix for that while Crosby won't.
Two full rounds of action remain and the Ducks have to get out of this one against the Kings, who forced a decisive Game 7 with a 2-1 win Wednesday. The losing effort put a halt on Getzlaf's growing case for short-list consideration.
Getzlaf will want to throw out his Game 6. The big center had no shots on goal, lost 14 of 20 faceoffs and didn't generate much of anything offensively with linemates Corey Perry and Devante Smith-Pelly in terms of quality scoring chances.
"Me and Pears didn't create enough, that's for sure," Getzlaf said. "I don't know if it was something they did or what we didn't do. We're going to look at that obviously and get going there for Game 7."
Getzlaf still has 14 points in 11 playoff games, which is tied with Minnesota's Zach Parise and Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin. Only Kings center Anze Kopitar, another potential Conn Smythe candidate, has more with 17.
Crosby and Malkin are about to pack up for the offseason, as will Parise with their teams being eliminated Tuesday. Getzlaf and Kopitar will battle Friday at Honda Center for the right to play on.
Getzlaf has done his part. He's had more points in other postseasons – 17 during the Ducks' 21-game Cup run in 2007 and 18 in 13 contests in 2009 – but his all-around game in this regular season and beyond has never be better.
"He's on another level," Teemu Selanne said. "I think when you get older, you start realizing things. And I think the one bad year that he had (2011-12), that really woke him up. After that, he has been doing the right things."
Selanne said Getzlaf is determined to shepherd the Ducks on a long playoff march as their leader compared to winning a Cup as a rising support player when the winger, Scott Niedermayer and Chris Pronger were that team's focal points.
The future Hall of Famer said Getzlaf is now "the full package" and compares how he's evolved as a player to that of iconic Detroit Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman.
"A lot of time, you heard the old stories where Scotty Bowman goes to Detroit and tells Yzerman, 'I don't want you scoring 130 points,'" Selanne said. "You can if you want but I want you playing this way. And if you can still score 130, you're going to be the greatest ever.
"'But if you score 90 points and you play this way, you become an all-around leader and player and we're going to win a lot of championships.' I think I see a bit of the same thing in Getzlaf."
Getzlaf had a career-high 31 goals this season and his 87 point were second only to his career-high 91 in 2008-09. But Selanne said his teammate is about much more than offense nine years into his career.
"The points come automatically," Selanne said. "He doesn't have to worry about that. I think the next step that has been taken is more in leadership, drive and example and body language for the rest of the guys and the organization.

Second SoHum public safety meeting focuses on solutions-full audio includedWritten by Bob Froehlich
Southern Humboldt residents met last evening, Thurs., Jan. 15, 2015, in the Redway Elementary School Gym to hear panel presentations by law enforcement and the D.A.'s Office regarding re-staffing to increase Sheriff's Officers' presence in the southern part of the county and to discuss community involvement in helping keep residents and property safe. The meeting was facilitated by Second District Supervisor, Estelle Fennel, and the panel included Garberville-Redway Chamber of Commerce Director, Cinnamon Paula, and a number of the Chamber's Board Members.
Thursday's meeting, designed to focus on solutions, followed a previous Town Hall meeting, held last June, where a huge crowd gathered to express concern about the lack of police presence and response to crime in the Southern Humboldt area.
Tune in to KMUD this Monday, Jan. 19 from 8 - 9 am, for more information about the meeting.

Huffman offers an amendment to provide Calif. drought reliefWritten by Bob Froehlich
Congressman Jered Huffman offered an amendment to the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (H.R. 4923) which would have provided an additional $52 million earmarked to aid in drought relief in California and other western states. However, according to a press release received by the KMUD News Department, the amendment did not pass. The press release appears below as does a video of Huffman speaking on the House floor about his amendment.
Press Release, dated July 10, 2014:
Huffman: "Congress cannot make it rain, but what we can do is invest in drought-resistant water supplies through smart, sustainable investments in conservation and water reuse."
WASHINGTON—Today, Congressman Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) offered an amendment to the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (H.R. 4923) to provide relief from the historic drought facing California and many other western states. Huffman's amendment would provide an additional $52 million for water-saving conservation, reuse and recycling infrastructure projects, offset by a reduction to the Department of Energy's Nuclear Energy account, which provides funding for research into non-military nuclear power plants. The amendment was defeated.
"The California drought is the most extreme drought that many of us have seen in our lifetime, and we either believe it's a national crisis and a national priority or we don't," Congressman Huffman said. "Congress cannot make it rain, but what we can do is invest in drought-resistant water supplies through smart, sustainable investments in conservation and water reuse."
Specifically, Huffman's amendment would direct $52 million to the Bureau of Reclamation for Title XVI water-saving conservation, reuse and recycling infrastructure projects, which support municipalities, farmers, fish and wildlife, and recreation. This amendment reflects one program funded by Congressman Huffman's drought bill, which he introduced in March. In June, nearly 80% of California was under extreme drought conditions, and 36% of the state was in an "exceptional" drought, the highest category on the U.S. Drought Monitor.
Community Clean-up Day this Sat.Written by Bob Froehlich
Summer season means an increase in tourist and transient populations in the Garberville/Redway areas and with it a corresponding increase in trash left behind. In an effort to help foster clean communities, Humboldt County resident Mike Miller has organized a Community Clean-up Day. Miller spearheaded a successful clean-up event last year in mid-June. This year's event is scheduled for this Saturday, July 21, beginning at 10 am. Anyone wishing to help is encouraged to meet at the first turnout on the left, as you are going north from Garberville on Redwood Drive. The spot will be marked by a 20-yard dumpster donated by Recology Humboldt County.
Volunteers are asked to bring work gloves but trash bags will be provided. If you can bring a pick-up truck to help haul bagged trash that would also be welcomed but is in no way required.
The clean-up event is sponsored by Humboldt County Public Works, the Garberville/Redway Public Restroom Working Group (GRPRWG) and Clean Community Crew.

Nebraska Repeal Vote Reflects Growing Republican Opposition to Death PenaltyPosted: April 27, 2015
Nebraska's unicameral legislature recently voted 30-13 in favor of repealing the State's death penalty, advancing the bill to a second round of legislative review. (In Nebraska, a bill must pass three times before it is sent to the Governor.) A majority (17 out of 30) of Republican legislators voted in favor of the bill, which was also supported by 12 Democrats and one Independent legislator. Sen. Colby Coash (R-Lincoln), said, "If any other system in our government was as ineffective and inefficient as is our death penalty, we conservatives would have gotten rid of it a long, long time ago." Sen. Tommy Garrett (R-Papillion) said he was once a "staunch proponent" of capital punishment, but, "I've come to believe that the death penalty is simply not good government." A Washington Times op-ed by conservative commentator Drew Johnson noted that Nebraska's repeal bill has support from victims' families, the Catholic Bishops of Nebraska, and Nebraska Conservatives Concerned about the Death Penalty. Johnson also pointed to the DNA exonerations of the "Beatrice Six," who gave coerced confessions and pleas after being threatened with the death penalty, as evidence that "government has no business exercising the power to kill its residents, whether in Nebraska or elsewhere." A recent Pew poll showed that support for the death penalty among conservative Republicans had dropped by 7 percentage points since 2011.

NEW VOICES: Effects of the Death Penalty on Those Who Carry It OutPosted: April 24, 2015
Four retired death-row prison officials - two wardens, a chaplain, and an execution supervisor - recently described the effect that carrying out executions has had on them. Frank Thompson (pictured), who served as a warden in Oregon and Arkansas, said he believed in capital punishment until he thought "about those flaws in the back of my mind that I knew existed with capital punishment. It's being administered against the poor; it lacks proof that it deters anything." He trained his staff to carry out executions, but, "I realized that I was training decent men and women how to take the life of a human being. In the name of a public policy that after all these years couldn't be shown to increase the net of public safety." Terry Collins spent over 32 years working in corrections, including time as the director of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. He said seeing exonerations gave him concerns about the death penalty: "[T]the system does make mistakes. I don't think you can make a mistake when you're talking about somebody's life." Jerry Givens, who oversaw 62 executions in Virginia, raised similar concerns, "I knew the system was corrupted when we exonerated Earl Washington Jr. from death row...You have two types of people on death row. The guilty and the innocent. And when when you have the guilty and the innocent, you shouldn't have death row." Rev. Carroll Pickett was a chaplain on Texas's death row for 15 years and during 95 executions. He commented, "Standing by the gurney almost 100 times, and watching innocent men killed, watching repentant men killed, and seeing the pain among families and men and my employee friends, cannot leave my memories."

NEW VOICES: Leading Pharmacists Oppose Participation in Lethal InjectionsPosted: April 23, 2015
In a recent op-ed in The Hill, three leading pharmacists wrote in support of the resolution by the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), discouraging pharmacist participation in executions. Leonard Edloe, former CEO of Edloe's Professional Pharmacies, William Fassett (pictured), professor emeritus of pharmacology at Washington State University, and Philip Hantsen, professor emeritus at the University of Washington School of Pharmacy, wrote, "The healthcare community is now united in opposition to involvement in lethal injection, a form of execution that masquerades as a medical procedure yet violates core values of all healing professions." They warned that lethal injections without the appropriate drugs, personnel, and procedures, would be "brutal and unpredictable charades that shame this nation." The op-ed emphasized the overwhelming support of APhA members in adopting the resolution: "While APhA was engaged in developing the policy revision, problems associated with using experimental drug protocols became glaringly visible, particularly after the Clayton Lockett execution debacle in Oklahoma. By the time the APhA House of Delegates met in March 2015, there was very little disagreement among APhA member pharmacists that the proposed policy should be adopted, and no House of Delegates member spoke against its passage during final deliberations." Read the op-ed below.

Death Penalty Disproportionately Imposed by, Increasingly Isolated to, Small Number of CountiesPosted: April 22, 2015
(Click image to enlarge) The Atlantic reports that death sentences are heavily concentrated in a small number of heavy-use counties. According to DePaul University law professor Robert J. Smith, "1 percent of counties accounts for roughly 44 percent of all death sentences" since the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976. Death-sentencing rates in those counties are not a product of their population or murder rates, Smith points out. For example, from 2004 to 2009, "Miami-Dade County (Florida), which has a population of approximately 2.5 million, only sentenced four people to death, whereas Oklahoma County, which has a population of approximately 750,000, sentenced eighteen people to death." DPIC's 2013 report, "The 2% Death Penalty," found that, "Houston had 8 percent more murders than Dallas, but 324 percent more death row inmates; 15 percent more murders than San Antonio, but 430 percent more death row inmates." The county disparities come from prosecutorial discretion, which allows local prosecutors to determine when to seek the death penalty. In some counties, Washington Post reporter Radley Balko reported, "a toxic culture of death and invincibility" values convictions and death sentences above all else. In 2007, Orleans Parish (Louisiana) Assistant District Attorney James Williams said, "There was no thrill for me unless there was a chance for the death penalty."

Sentence Reversal, Exoneration, and Natural Death More Likely Than Execution For Pennsylvania Death Row InmatesPosted: April 21, 2015
(Click on image to enlarge). According to Bureau of Justice Statistics, Pennsylvania is less likely to execute a death row inmate than any other state that has carried out any executions. A Reading Eagle analysis of BJS data from 1973 through 2013 shows that the Commonwealth has executed fewer than 1% of all death-sentenced defendants since 1973, with execution the least likely of 5 possible outcomes for people sentenced to die. Nationally, 16% of those sentenced to death have been executed. The most likely outcome for defendants sentenced to death in Pennsylvania is that their conviction or death sentence will be reversed, as is also the case nationally. However, in Pennsylvania exoneration and death by natural causes or suicide are also more common than execution. Since 1994, when death sentences peaked in Pennsylvania, the average number of removals from death row per year has doubled. The Reading Eagle reports that homicides across the state fell to a ten-year low in 2013, a period in which Pennsylvania carried out no executions. Three years ago, the Pennsylvania state legislature ordered a task force to study the state's problems in applying capital punishment, including costs, fairness in sentencing, and quality of representation. That report is expected later this year. Governor Tom Wolf has halted all executions in the state at least until the report is issued and problems are addressed. Recent polls indicate that a majority of Pennsylvanian's now favor some form of a life sentence over the death penalty.

FBI Acknowledges Flawed Forensic Testimony Affected At Least 32 Death Penalty CasesPosted: April 20, 2015
(Click on image to enlarge). The Federal Bureau of Investigation has formally acknowledged that examiners from the FBI Laboratory's microscopic hair comparison unit for decades provided flawed forensic testimony purportedly matching crime scene hair evidence to the hair of defendants charged with those crimes. As part of an ongoing review of inaccurate forensic evidence, the FBI admitted that, In the 268 trials examined so far, its forensic experts systematically overstated the certainty of matches between crime scene hair evidence and defendants' hair. That flawed testimony favored prosecutors more than 95% of the time. The FBI admitted providing inaccurate expert testimony in 32 capital trials in which defendants were sentenced to death, including 10 cases from Florida and 5 each from Pennsylvania and Texas. 9 of the defendants -- including all 5 from Texas -- have since been executed. Studies have shown that inaccurate forensic evidence is frequently present in innocence cases -- and improper hair comparison testimony may already have contributed to at least one wrongful execution. Senator Richard Blumenthal, a former prosecutor, said, "These findings are appalling and chilling in their indictment of our criminal justice system, not only for potentially innocent defendants who have been wrongly imprisoned and even executed, but for prosecutors who have relied on fabricated and false evidence despite their intentions to faithfully enforce the law."

National Polls Show Historic Declines in Support for Death PenaltyPosted: April 17, 2015
(Click image to enlarge) Polls released this week by Pew Research Center and CBS News show that public support for the death penalty has declined to near historic lows. Both polls reported that 56% of Americans support the death penalty. That is the lowest level of support ever recorded by the CBS News poll, and near the lowest level reported by Pew in the last 40 years. The Pew poll examined levels of support by political party and found that the decline in support for the death penalty is particularly striking among Democrats, with just 40% saying they support it now, compared to 71% who did in 1996. While 63% viewed the death penalty as a morally justified punishment for murder, most (71%), said there is some risk of executing innocent people, and 61% said they do not believe it deters serious crimes. Support for the death penalty is lowest among racial minorities (34% of blacks and 45% of Hispanics support it), women (49%), and Catholics (53%). Large drops in support for the death penalty between 2011 and 2015 were reported among liberal Democrats (11 percentage points), women (10 points), those under age 30 (8 points), and conservative Republicans (7 points).

Tennessee Supreme Court Suspends ExecutionsPosted: April 16, 2015
On April 10, the Tennessee Supreme Court canceled the execution dates for all four Tennessee death-row inmates currently under death warrant, and returned their cases to the lower courts to address the inmates' challenges to the state's lethal injection procedures. The executions had been scheduled for October 2015 through March 2016. Tennessee has not carried out an execution since 2009, but the state announced in 2013 that it would switch from a three-drug lethal injection protocol to a one-drug protocol using pentobarbital. Because of difficulties obtaining lethal injection drugs, Tennessee also passed a law in 2014 permitting the use of the electric chair if lethal injection drugs are not available. A group of inmates are currently challenging the constitutionality of Tennessee's lethal injection protocol as constituting cruel and unusual punishment, and the inmates have also challenged the State's use of the electric chair. The Tennessee Supreme Court is expected to decide soon if it will review the inmates' challenges to the electric chair.

VICTIMS' FAMILIES PERSPECTIVES: Families of Massachusetts Murder Victims Speak Out on Penalty for TsarnaevPosted: April 15, 2015
UPDATE: "Family members of two Massachusetts murder victims, including the police officer who was killed by the Tsarnaevs, have spoken out concerning their views on the sentence they believe should be imposed on Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the Boston Marathon bombing. Now Bill and Denise Richards, parents of 8-year-old Martin Richards, the youngest victim killed in the Boston Marathon bombing, have added their voices and called on federal prosecutors to drop the death penalty in exchange for termination of all appeals in the case. In a statement in the Boston Globe, the Richards write: "the story of Marathon Monday 2013 should not be defined by the actions or beliefs of the defendant, but by the resiliency of the human spirit and the rallying cries of this great city. We can never replace what was taken from us, but we can continue to get up every morning and fight another day. As long as the defendant is in the spotlight, we have no choice but to live a story told on his terms, not ours. The minute the defendant fades from our newspapers and TV screens is the minute we begin the process of rebuilding our lives and our family.

EDITORIALS: New York Times Sees "Alarming" Link Between Official Misconduct and Death Penalty MistakesPosted: April 14, 2015
In an editorial on April 13, the New York Times described the death penalty as "cruel, immoral, and ineffective at reducing crime" and called it "so riddled with error that no civilized nation should tolerate its use." The Times described how prosecutorial misconduct and an "all-too-common mind-set to win at all costs" played a substantial role in the convictions of many of the 152 innocent men and women who have been exonerated after beingly wrongly sent to death row and had contributed to the execution of at least two death-row inmates who almost certainly were innocent. "Innocent people get convicted for many reasons, including bad lawyering, mistaken identifications and false confessions made under duress," the editorial said. "But as advances in DNA analysis have accelerated the pace of exonerations, it has also become clear that prosecutorial misconduct is at the heart of an alarming number of these cases." The Times noted that "In the past year alone, nine people who had been sentenced to death were released — and in all but one case, prosecutors' wrongdoing played a key role."

Why Small Is Beautiful
(From "The Age Newspaper)
Ah, the frailties of man. Here I am, in wedded bliss with my 15-inch PowerBook, roses in the garden and bluebirds in the thatch (please, do not ask about the bats), and along comes her little sister to tempt me.
Get thee behind me, siren. The temptress may flutter her eyelashes and sway her hips, but I am strong and I am faithful - at least I think so.
For the past week I have had as constant companion one of the new 12-inch PowerBooks and, although I am not about to change my view that the 15-inch machine is the best notebook I have ever used, this newcomer has powerful attractions.
It is the neatness of it that is so attractive. Among Wintel notebooks several, such as Sony's Vaio, are slim and pretty, but their compactness often means lack of optical drives, and few can match the little PowerBook's features and power.
Initially I thought that the smaller screen would cause problems, and there were occasions with Photoshop when I felt a little cramped, but were I not so accustomed to the 15-inch, I doubt I would have noticed it much. Having a full-sized keyboard in such a concise package helps too.
Of all the recently revamped PowerBooks, the 12-inch group has gained the most. As before, there are two models, one with a Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) optical drive and the other with a SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW), but their G4 PowerPC processors are faster, from 1 GHz to 1.33 GHz.
Hard-drive capacity has been increased from 40 to 60GB, useful for movie makers. (Do you remember not so long ago when we thought 40MB was massive?)
Solid-state memory is still 256MB, which in my view is now marginal, but the bus speed has been raised from 133 to 167 MHz, and the SuperDrive now burns at 4x, double that of the previous model.
Better than all that, Airport Extreme (IEEE 802.11g), the local-area wireless connection, and Bluetooth, the personal wireless connection, come as part of the package - a saving of about $300.
The backlit keyboard that I enjoy on my 15-inch PowerBook is not available on the 12-inch models (they cause a lovely bit of green envy among the hoi-polloi of Wintel notebook users on overnight flights - perhaps they will come on the next 12-inch models), and I/O does not include FireWire 800 or Gigabit Ethernet, both of which are on the larger machines.
The nVidia GeForce FX Go5200 graphics card is also a bit slower than the model fitted in the bigger PowerBooks, and RAM tops out at 1.25GB, against 2GB in my 15-inch Book, but these are not serious disadvantages for most users.
Battery life seems good. I got more than three hours out of a single charge doing a fair amount of internet surfing using my Airport base station to connect to Optus cable and a couple of iPhoto sessions. From a full charge, I also watched Saving Private Ryan on DVD and still had quite a bit of puff left.
In terms of performance, such as Photoshop rendering, iMovie and GarageBand sessions and so forth, the 12-inch machine was probably a bit slower than my 15-inch machine with its 1.5 GHz processor; at least that is how some benchtests found on the internet show it. In practice there does not appear to be much in it.
It is also noticeable that these new PowerBooks run cooler than the old Titaniums. A TiBook could barbecue your thighs if you used it on your lap for too long, and I worried enough about the walnut veneer on my desk to buy a CoolPad (roadtools.com), but I have now retired it.
If you travel a lot or use your notebook often on one of those tummy-pinching flaps on lecture theatre chairs, the smaller footprint and lighter weight (a bit more than 2kg) of the 12-inch PowerBook will be advantageous.
If you run Microsoft Office:mac '04, you can even doze off and let the Mac record the lecture for your more conscious consideration later.
The iLife '04 suite (iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes, GarageBand and, in the SuperDrive model, iDVD) is included, along with Mac OS X 10.3, a trial version of Filemaker Pro 7 (good stuff), Graphic Converter (also good) and other useful software.
In short, the new 12-inch PowerBooks have enough improvements - extra hard-drive capacity, faster processors, Airport and Bluetooth as standard and faster DVD burning in the top model, to justify upgrading.
Retail prices are $400 less than previous models. The Combo is now priced at $2599 and the SuperDrive at $2999.
Let us lift a glass in a toast to Toast.
The reason for the celebration is that Roxio's Toast 6 will soon be able to burn double-layer DVDs, so that you will be able to record up to 8.5GB of data - almost twice the current limit of 4.7GB - on a single double-layer DVD+R disc.
That means more than three hours of MPEG-2 video or, using Dolby Digital compression, more than four hours of programming.
Unbounded vistas of Neighbours and Kath and Kim may float before your eyes.
Users of EyeTV, the digital TV recorder now available here for Macs, should soon be able to consign their VCRs to the scrap heap.
The upgrade will be available on the Roxio website in about a week and will be free to registered users of Toast and Toast with Jam.
Roxio says other benefits of the upgrade include the ability to create one-click copies of non-encrypted dual-layer DVD movies, squeezing more than 70 hours of music onto a DVD music album using Dolby sound.

I hate to break a little bit of that bubble, but dual layer recording is only going to be a feature on dual layer drives. Sony currently has an internal one for sale for about 200, and LaCie has an external one coming out soon for about 250. Makes me happy that I didn't waste the extra 200 on the super drive in my brand new 12" PB. I never saw a great need for being able to burn a dvd on a plane or something anyway...

Internal TEAC 8x Dual Layer DVD+R/RW is just 100
And so far all dual layer drives are all + and Apple is using -...
|Jun 3, 2004, 06:05 PM
Plus, replacing the internal optical drive will void your warranty.
(BTW, I know small is beautiful in laptops, but there are plenty of x86 laptops with internal optical drives (including DVD burning) that are smaller and, more importantly, lighter. Apple needs to work on the weight of the 12"PB.)
|Jun 3, 2004, 08:11 PM
I really don't see the need for SuperDrive built into a notebook. Currently, the Combo Drive burns CDs faster than the SuperDrive, and apparently you can get an external 8X dvd burning drive for only $200.

What, do you all have short attention spans or something?
Someone takes the time to write a decent contribution to the forum, not leaving out any facts or topics of interest and all you guys do is complain it's too long...
I prefer to read an article with a little depth, as it is often the little details which make/break a product.
I mean can you really enjoy a laptop that fries your balls? No, so it's good he commented on that...
Btw. the previous poster is right about the dual layer dvd thing...you need a special drive to be able to do that.
|Jun 9, 2004, 05:13 AM
Well, small is good, and I don't see how anyone can drag around the bigger 'Books... I was used to drag a 14" Pismo everywhere, but after I replaced that with a 12" iBook I realise what portability is really about...
12" rules...!

The article is by Gary Barker, the 'Macman' from The Age (Melbourne, Australia)
Good to hear you enjoyed the post, but it's actually an article from our local newspaper, The Age:
I agree with you though - I really enjoy Gary Barker's articles, the right mix of detailed, analytical and gushing - despite going for the 15" instead (which he has praised numerous times, so I feel slightly better lol )
Secondly - because it's an article / regular column, you have to understand that the bit about Toast's dual layer burning capability is a distinct news item from the 12" Powerbook review. In fact, I don't see any logical connection between them even in the format posted here. So no need to jump down his throat. But on that point, I also agree, if dual layer burning is anyone's thing (right now I can see the only particular advantage of it is the obvious ability to rip off commercial DVDs with little to no compression - big no no ), then getting an internal (for a desktop) or a firewire enclosure is the way to go. I don't think anyone will be putting them in notebooks anytime soon for a reasonable price.

superdrive questions
On the 15" pb, does the superdrive make the laptop heavier? Are there any drawbacks to having it other than an extra $200? I just got mine with superdrive as I do some video creation and figured I could quickly throw some files on dvd rather than have to travel with HDs...

While dual-layer is nice and all, please realize the price of actually buying/using the media:
*Additionally...I would wait getting a dual-layer DVD drive in the first place. 2.4X is painfully slow at this point. I expect that maybe in a year's time, that should hit 4 or 8X, making the waiting time from ~40min, to a reasonable ~20min (which is 4X for standard 4.7GB DVD+/-R media).

"We were very happy with the finished product! We used various photos from our engagement session and the quality and color turned out great! We were very happy with the thickness of the paper quality. All of our guests loved our invites - we received several compliments about how cute they turned out!"
"I am beyond happy with the way these invites turned out. I originally bought them with the glitter background in the matte paper (my error, the part about the glitter is noted in the product description and I was very excited when I was ordering them) I was disappointed when I received them (it just looked too plain on the back) and ended up returning them. The customer service rep I worked with during the return process was very helpful and I had my money back in no time. Then I re-ordered them in the Pearl White Shimmer paper which looks BEAUTIFUL. It's really makes a difference in how the invites look. Very high quality paper. Just to play it on the safe side I got purple on the back and it looks wonderful with the wedding colors. I also ordered the enclosure cards and put another photo of us on the back. It was a perfect touch! The flowers on the front add just enough and really tie in with our garden venue. I can't wait to send these out to our guests."
"I picked the Raspberry color and detailed everything in the card in the special instructions portion - bc i needed my invites to be in Spanish! And the turnaround was fantastic - the designer sent it back just as i had detailed and I was able to proofread and approve and the delivery was fast. Great quality - i used the square edges on this design and it just looks so nice and elegant the raspberry is a beautiful magenta / fuchsia tone which are the colors of my wedding. Really liked the way these invites turned out. Thanks!"
"I NEVER review products and felt compelled to share my thoughts on the finished product of our wedding invitations. I'm sharing because I picked these invites based off previous reviews and photos. So helpful! The designer I worked with was fantastic. The edited version was sent back to me so quickly, and was always what I asked for. Print quality and paper quality are fantastic. The paper is a nice recycled beige colour. Other reviews said they were white. The quality of the image is pretty good. Not amazing but we are perfectly happy. My invitations also arrived early. 5 Stars! Overall I'm thrilled with the invites and have been getting lots of nice compliments on them!"
"I ordered these wedding invitations and they came out even better than I expected! They are so pretty! I couldn't be happier with them! Thanks WPD!"

A pilot project is making some exciting claims
A glimpse at some potential trends
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Investors have poured more than $83 billion into U.S.-listed
so far this year, and while U.S. equities ETFs have attracted the
most investor dollars on a nominal basis, it's alternatives ETFs
that have actually seen their assets grow the most in percentage
And that growth is nearly all tied to the iPath S&P 500 VIX
Short Term Futures ETN (NYSEArca:VXX), which has pulled in $855.3
million so far this year.
In all, total assets linked to alternative ETFs have grown 32.3
percent year-to-date after net inflows of $1.13 billion pushed
total assets in the asset class above $3.5 billion.
It's relatively small potatoes compared to the $48 billion net
inflows into U.S. equities in the same time period, but on
percentage terms, equities-linked inflows amount to only a 6.3
percent increase in total U.S. equities ETF assets
There are about 50 funds that comprise what IndexUniverse
classifies as alternatives ETFs-funds like the Cambria Global
Tactical ETF (NYSEArca:GTAA), the IQ Hedge Macro Tracker ETF
(NYSEArca:MCRO), the PowerShares DB G10 Currency Harvest ETF
(NYSEArca:DBV) and the entire suite of VIX-linked strategies.
But it's flows into one strategy, VXX, that's driving the 32
percent asset growth in the segment. The fund, the largest
alternatives ETF, with $1.4 billion in total assets, has now
gathered some $855.3 since Jan. 1, according to data compiled by
IndexUniverse ETF analyst Paul Britt noted that many investors
turn to VXX in an effort to hedge their equity positions,
particularly if they are bracing for a downward correction in the
stock market.
Correction Looming?
There's no question that this year's rally to record-high levels
in both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones industrial average, amid
what many see as tepid U.S. growth at best, has many wondering
whether a correction is in the cards.
This week alone, investors got a small taste of that
possibility, as the S&P 500 slipped more than 1 percent in two
days to close Thursday at 1,650.51, while Japan's Nikkei plunged
7.3 percent, its worst one-day sell-off since the earthquake and
tsunami in March 2011.
Based on the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), VXX is often looked at
as a hedging tool, because VIX and the S&P 500 Index tend to
move in opposite directions, Britt recently pointed out in a
The fund has now bled more than 40 percent of its value
year-to-date after finding itself ranking among the top
worst-performers in 2012.
That's to say that VXX attracts almost as much money as it loses
amid active daily trading volume amounting to as much $1 billion,
Britt said.
'VXX is like a big bucket of money with a hole in the bottom,'
he noted. 'But investors do use it as a hedge when there's a lot of
uncertainty in the market.'
'This isn't unusual at all,' added Britt. 'VXX is a short-term
vehicle used for short-term exposure.'

Adobe Autodesk Revit Google Sketch up ! ! ! ! ! ! I have had to extensively use these programs in previous successful projects. However I will always be willing to learn more programs if it is needed. HOBBIES/ INTERESTS Living in Venice on a foreign exchange initially inspired me.I enjoyed painting the light reection and sketching the unusual void space. I particularly enjoyed the ran down rustic buildings on the outskirts of the city rather rather than the main attractions of the centre. This means I take my sketchbook anywhere I have the chance. I believe that you can learn more about a place or piece of architecture by sketching light sections, ground plane sections etc and details. This helps me to break down the Architects design process. I recently found this approach rewarding on trips to Berlin and Rome. I particularly enjoy Aldo Rossi's writings of the spatial Framework of memory and I believe Architecture should be approached in a way that promotes collective memory. This approach should be taken in to account in the improvement of existing infrastructure instead of starting from scratch. I also enjoy going to as many exhibitions as possible. I have recently visited the Sensing spaces exhibition in London. I believe exhibitions are the best way to Inspire and broaden your horizon. Getting away from the studio can be refreshing as you can become "tunnel visioned." Sustainability is a key aim in my design approach and we as architects have a duty of care to our environment. I believe that if you can produce something aesthetically pleasing whilst balancing function with minimal material and energy output it will define great design. This can only be produced by keeping up with current affairs by reading journals, visiting exhibitions and keeping up with technical movements. I love travelling and embracing new cultures. I climb the 14 Peak Mountain Challenger in North Wales every year in a weekend without sleep. The event is in aid of Motor-neurone disease as a close family friend as been diagnosed with the shattering disease. This has taught me determination and opened my mind to new challenges. I like to keep healthy by eating well and Playing 5 aside football and going to the gym three times a week is also keen interest. I believe a healthy body is a healthy mind. I have played for a local football team for 4 years in the Cheshire league for Irby Athletic FC. I eventually moved up to captain winning the Sunday echo cup and our league in 11/12. I believe I have the qualities that you are looking for. I tick all the boxes. I am conďŹ dent, with a professional manner that helps when communicating with clients or the general public. I am creative and will give you innovative ideas that will stick out from the crowd. I have a hard working ethic and I strive to be the best I can be at everything I do. I am competitive yet I have the ability to listen and be open minded, I can take a step back and analyse the situation. I am determined to put my creative stamp on this world and i will always be willing to learn. Many thanks for taking time out of you're busy schedule to read my resume. I will look forward to hearing from you in the not too distant future. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Substitutes for pumpkin in pie
1. Cut squash in half through the stems and scoop out seeds and strings. Place halves, skin side up, on an oiled baking sheet and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees until the skin is easily pierced and the flesh is soft, anywhere from an hour to 90 minutes.
2. When squash is cool enough to handle, scoop flesh into a food processor and puree until it is perfectly smooth. This fresh puree will be wetter than canned. To remove some of the moisture, transfer puree to a colander lined with cheesecloth. Bring the corners of the cheesecloth together and tie in a knot. Put a plate on top of the knotted cheesecloth and weigh it down with some heavy cans or a bowl of water. Place colander over a bowl and let it drain for 30 minutes to an hour, until it reaches the proper consistency. Makes about 4 cups.

Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer hopes the club can put the weekend's disappointing loss to Everton behind them in their next Premier League outing.
The Cottagers lost to the Toffees 2-1 at Goodison Park on Saturday, continuing their deplorable record at the Merseyside venue, to drop to 12th on the table and Schwarzer is eyeing improvement against Blackpool on April 2 when the Premier League returns.
"It's a huge game, we know it's going to be a very difficult game," Schwarzer told fulhamfc.com. "They've shown on their away trips that they're a very difficult team to play against. They've done tremendously well this season and we know we're in for a very tough game. But we believe, especially at home, that we should be picking up three points.
"No games are easy, if you look at any of our games throughout the whole season, none of our games have been easy. That's why it's imperative that we get results at home and also nick some points away from home – then we'll be looking up the table as opposed to down the table."
The Australian veteran is well aware how disappointing the weekend's result is as it kept the Londoners just above the relegation zone.
"It was very disappointing," he added. "We didn't start the game off like we have done in the last couple of months. The slow start cost us and we were a goal down at half-time because of it. Then to concede from a free-kick in the second-half, which is very unlike us, was very unlucky.
"But from that point on we dominated the game and you could see Everton were on tenterhooks for the rest of the match. We rightfully got back into the game but didn't have enough to get a result.
"We've had such a good run of form but we're still only three points ahead of the bottom three."

Ryanair 'cash passport' press ad is grounded
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 08:15AM
Ryanair has been banned from running a press ad, after the advertising watchdog judged the activity to be confusing and misleading.
Ryanair's press ad, believed to be created in-house, ran in February this year.
The text in the ad stated, "MALMÖ with Ryanair from £14.99 one way."
Additional information stated the dates and days of the week that the promotion was valid, alongside the text, "Fares exclude optional fees/charges".
One complainant said the ad was misleading because they understood the £14.99 fare was only available to consumers that had already paid for a Ryanair Cash Passport or payment card.
Ryanair introduced its branded pre-paid MasterCard "cash passport" to UK consumers in October last year.
The airline claims the card allows consumers to avoid paying fees of up to £10 for using a credit or debit card when booking flights with the airline, but it carries a £6 purchase fee and a £2.50 inactivity-fee if not used for six months.
Ryanair emphasised that the £6 fee is redeemable against the cost of the first flight purchased with the Cash Passport, which the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) acknowledged.
However, the body also noted that consumers not already in possession of the card need to apply for it and await delivery before being able to purchase tickets at the advertised price of £14.99.
The ASA said: "In order to use the Cash Passport, consumers were required to load the card with a minimum of £150 and that additional charges applied to its use.
"We considered such details to be material information which the consumer needed in order to make an informed decision about the advertised price."
The ASA said consumers were not able to purchase tickets at the advertised price without already possessing a Cash Passport and banned the ad.
