Former Red Sox manager Terry Francona, in an appearance on WBZ-TV's Sports Final on Sunday night, said that he suspects some of his former players will approach the coming baseball season with a chip on their collective shoulder. That, he suggested, could lead to strong seasons ahead.
"They're always going to have a chance. They're the Red Sox," said Francona. "You have some talented players. Some were injured. Some were probably embarrassed and feel like they have a lot to prove, they maybe feel like they have a chip on their shoulder. Whatever the reason, you're going to see some guys coming back and probably have pretty good years."
Asked how he might address the disclosures of a disintegrating clubhouse that was symbolized by the in-game consumption of beer and fried chicken, Francona suggested that he had given the matter little thought and so he was unprepared to answer the question.
"It's not my situation to deal with," Francona said. "I do know the better they deal with it, the quicker it will go away."
Francona also touched on several other topics. Among them:
On how he is approaching the start of a season in which he will not be in uniform: "Spring training signifies a new year, a new beginning. This will be the first time in 32 years for me that I haven't gone to spring training in a uniform. That's going to be hard. I knew it would be. In a sense, I'm glad it is hard, because it means I care about the game a lot."
On his expectations for the 2012 team: "There are some things, I think, that have gone under the radar. Guys like Clay Buchholz, if he comes back and he's Clay Buchholz, that changes the dynamic of the whole pitching staff."
On how the Red Sox will replace Jonathan Papelbon: "If Andrew Bailey is healthy, they're getting a good one. ... If he's healthy, that's a good guy to have at the end."
On the advice he would offer to new Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine: "He doesn't need my advice. I wouldn't want to give it to him. That's why you get new people. Sometimes you need a new voice. He'll do what he wants to do. That's my advice to anybody: Stay true to yourself. That's what I did. It worked sometimes. At the end, it didn't. But I feel OK about myself because I stayed true to myself."
On whether he wants to manage again: " I think so. ... It just has to be the right time and the right fit.
"I don't want to be in the front office. I want to stay in baseball, for sure," he added. "To get back in uniform, first of all, someone has to want you back in uniform. We'll see."

A gun is a particular weapon that propels projectiles. The projectile is generally fired through a hollow tube known as the gun's barrel. The barrel's diameter, or caliber, determines the size of projectile used, which is usually designated in fractions of an inch or in millimeters. Differing from the musket, most modern guns are rifled, with a series of grooves spiraling along the barrel; exceptions include smoothbores on tanks, AFVs and some artillery.
"...una magna balista de cornu quae Domina Gunilda ...In non-military use it is often used synonymous with a "firearm", such as a personal handgun or pistol, or a hunting weapon.
The use of the term cannon is interchangeable with the gun as a word borrowed from the French language during the early 15th century, from Old French canon, itself a borrowing from the Italian cannone, a "large tube" augmentive of Latin canna "reed or cane".
In military use, the term "gun" refers to artillery ordnance that fires projectiles at high velocity, such as naval guns which in the modern navies are not called cannons, or the tank main gun. In military use, mortars and all hand-held firearms are excluded from the definition of guns because they do not require the accurate gunnery data calculations and training when engaging targets. Two exceptions to this include: the shotgun, which is a smoothbore hand-held firearm that fires a load of shot or a single projectile known as a slug, and the machine gun, which is a fully-automatic weapon mounted on a tripod or wheeled carriage and is almost always operated by a crew of two.
The word "gun" is also applied to some more or less vaguely gun-like or gun-shaped tools such as staple guns, nail guns, and glue guns.
In a gun-type fission weapon the "gun" is part of a nuclear weapon. The projectile is fissile material that is fired and captured inside the device. In the case of nuclear artillery, it should not be confused with the gun that fires the whole warhead. In a captive bolt gun the projectile is also caught within the mechanism. Such captive piston guns are often used to humanely stun farm animals for slaughter.
A gunner is a member of the team charged with the task of operating and firing a gun.

Restoring South Broward's Beaches, from Hallandale Beach to John U. Lloyd State Park
Beach RestorationIn April of 2005, work began on restoring 6.2 miles of Broward County's shoreline, from the Broward County line in Hallandale Beach to the John Lloyd State Recreation Area in Hollywood, just south of Port Everglades. The $23.8 million undertaking, known as the Broward County Segment III Shore Protection Project, involved the placement of approximately 1.7 million cubic yards of sand on South Broward's eroded beaches. Hallandale Beach, Hollywood and Dania Beach shoreline was impacted by the renourishment project, which was in the planning stages for a number of years. The beach was widened, depending on previous width, up to 200 feet. The entire project was scheduled to be completed by February of 2006. Work on the northern end of the project at John Lloyd State Park was not scheduled to begin until November of 2005 because of the sea turtle nesting season. Three structures were constructed at the northern end of the park to "lock-in" the sand along the southern shoreline. Barring unexpected weather or nautical conditions, the new beach should have a life span of at least ten years.
The project was the first beach restoration effort in Broward County in more than a decade. Great Lakes Dock and Dredge Company, based in Oak Brook, Illinois, was the prime contractor for the project. The company has restored more eroded recreational and commercial waterfronts in the United States than any other company in its field. The project was sponsored and administered by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners, with funding from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the State of Florida Department of Environmental Projection, Broward County and the municipalities Hallandale Beach, Hollywood and Dania Beach.
When and HowOnce beach restoration began in April, starting in Hallandale Beach and moving north, dredging and beach construction activities proceeded on a 24-hour basis, seven days a week, weather permitting. The sand for the restored beach was obtained from what is known as "borrow areas," sections of the ocean floor off of the North Broward coast. The sand was extracted by a ship, called "hopper dredge," which vacuumed the sand from the ocean floor and transported it to pumpout locations. The pumpout was a mooring offshore through which the dredge discharged sand to the beach through a submerged 30-inch diameter steel pipe. While a section of beach was being restored, a shore pipe was present along the beach. Pedestrian and emergency vehicular access ramps were provided over the shore pipe at 250-foot intervals and at all lifeguard stations. The shore pipe, which moved along with the project, could extend to approximately a mile in length.
InconvenienceWhile there was some noise and construction activities as sections of the beach were restored, every effort was being made to keep inconveniences to a minimum. Vibrations in the vicinity of construction was monitored and, as expected, were minimal and did not impact any structures. About 300 feet of beach were closed at any one time due to construction, but the closure areas moved along the beach quite rapidly as construction progressed. At most times during the dredging and discharge cycles, pedestrians were prevented from close observation at the beach discharge locations. Flag personnel directed beach users away from the discharge areas. Boaters, anglers and divers were directed away from ocean areas involved in the project, including the "borrow areas" off the North Broward coast.
What's NextAfter completion of Segment III in early 2006, the impact of the restored beach on marine resources was studied over a 36-month period. A report was then prepared for the Florida Department of Environment Protection, which will forward its recommendations to the Governor and the Cabinet. If approved, Segment II of the beach restoration plan can proceed, which involves the restoration of beaches in Fort Lauderdale and adjacent communities to the north. It is projected that this phase of beach restoration will begin in 2013.

Planet Color's Paint System
While we could have refinished our project C3 in the original color, the fact is, our factory white was a little subdued for our custom Corvette cravings. If the ambition was pure stock and correct, this would have been the only choice. True, we could have strayed from original, but held within the constraints of the OEM palette; however, in this build we had already overstepped the boundaries of resto, with leanings well towards custom. So why not a custom paint? Planet Color has become quite a force in the custom paint world, with a staggering selection of color and additives, which can be used in combination for an infinite number of trick paint effects.
While going full-on is tempting, what caught our attention was a more subdued offering from Planet Color's Classic Muscle Tones line of paint. A trade show display of the available colors drew us in like a magnet when we caught sight of the number PCM26 Chumma Orange-just what we were after: hugger orange on steroids. No pearl, iridescent, flake, flip-flop, or even metallic here, just a hot, clean orange that really "pops."
So now we had the paint, but anyone can tell you that the color is just one stone in the structure. Painting is a process, starting with the foundation of the primers, building up to the color, and then finishing with the deep reflectivity of a top-quality clearcoat. When painting a car, the best and most foolproof approach is to use all the products in the process from the same manufacturer's line. The paint companies have done their homework on compatibility, ease of application and durability, so why not take advantage of their expertise? We did by using the Planet Color system from bottom to topcoat.
The world of automotive refinishing chemicals is constantly changing, due to product development and regulations in some areas. Some regions have specific VOC emissions standards that must be adhered to, and the mixing ratios of the products, or even the specific products themselves, may vary from what is shown here. Every paint supply retailer should have a product data sheet for each of the specific paint products sold. The product data sheet will detail the characteristics of the product, mix ratios, as well as application information. Be sure to get a data sheet on any product you intend to spray, and treat the information there as the last word in the compliant formulation.
Here is a detailed description of the products involved in our paint job; why they are needed; how we mixed it all up; and application notes where applicable.

Kit 9641 Pneumatics
Just received a 9641 kit to play with - not knowing much about the current FLL mat and models, it's a little difficult to guess how this kit might be integrated into an NXT robot. You can see in one of the photos here a nice use of pistons: raising a platform up.
I'll be curious to see if any teams use this kit - let me know if your team is planning on using it with one or more missions - you don't have to be specific if you don't want to, but if you're willing to share a photo or two of past FLL robots that used pneumatics, send it to me and I'll share with our readers.

Roberts' daughter is entering 3rd grade at Tyndall Elementary, and the two went to Target in
Roberts said he didn't know it was tax-free weekend in
"I'm shopping today because the wife bugged me to," he said with a chuckle.
Roberts and his daughter were among many in the
Shannon Dodson said she used the weekend to save money on back-to-school shopping the last six years, and that she is now somewhat of a "pro" at balancing her budget while equipping her kids for school. Her fourth son, the last one still in school, will be a freshman at
"Pens, paper, notebooks and a new backpack, I imagine," Dodson said Saturday at Walmart in
Dodson and her husband, Mike, said they are relieved their days of back-to-school shopping will soon be behind them. After their oldest son started school, it seemed he and his brothers' school supplies list grew longer every year, they said.
"They try to get you to have everything you'll need through the whole school year, and I think that some of the stuff they want you to have is 'maybe we'll need this' stuff," Mike Dodson said. "You go up there and look at those lists for the elementary school kids, half of it they don't use. There's a lot of unnecessary items. I don't think every kid should have to go and buy a little crayon box or whatever."
Tourists also took advantage of the tax break Saturday. Gwen Reid is visiting from
"I decided to go on and pick some of this up so I don't have to worry about it when I get home," she said.
Walking through aisles of calculators, rubber bands, rulers, and other classroom paraphernalia, Reid recalled her own schooling as being much simpler.
"We didn't have to bring anything to school. It was already there for us," she said, noting that her daughter also needs a new school uniform.
Roberts shared her sentiment.
"When I was a kid, I didn't really buy anything. Books were supplied, and the only thing I bought was pencils. It was a different time, though," he said.

Brock Lesnar made his return on Raw and proceeded to give John Cena an F5 (much to the incredible Miami crowd's delight) this coupled with The Rock hinting he wants another run with the tile and speculation has already lead to The Rock vs. Brock at Wrestlemania 29 for the WWE Title. I thought I would give my thoughts on how this could work, I hope you enjoy.
Brock as Champion
I'll start by saying that I'm a huge fan of The Rock and have been since I started watching wrestling, I like most people was excited when The Rock returned to the WWE last year and even more so when it was announced that he would be facing John Cena at Wrestlemania 28 (although I think the year long build hasn't really worked out). However, since then I have noticed that whilst Cena is still

This was sort of inspired by a satire headline I wrote at the beginning of the week. Roll over the names to see my captions, leave a comment below with what you think would/could be said or what you think is going on here.
That a month has passed and the British Petroleum well in the Gulf hasn't been handled means one of two things, either we have a doozy of a disaster like we've never seen before, or this is the last time we get to try Biden's idea of getting off our dependence on foreign oil.
I don't want to make too much of an ado about the BP's efforts in the matter, as it is all frankly way above my paygrade to be pontificating on how to clean oil out of an ocean when I can barely pump my gas with getting a drop or two on my gas cap after I take the nozzle out of the tank. Clearly this is a job for science and not politicians.
I don't know what exactly the federal government has at their disposal to even assist in this kind of effort, they can't even keep party crashers out of state dinners so much less get a grip on a blown oil well.
I do know that Obama offered some sage advise to some advisers on the matter:
"Plug the damn hole," he says.
Wow! That's EXACTLY the kind of outside the box thinking we should expect from a president.
Look at that phrase, every word is short, mono syllabic and doesn't say anything or get anything done. Gosh, where have I see that before?
Good lord, is this guy going to get his head back in the game anytime soon? Did he think being president was one big socialist key party where he gets to screw a different piece of capitalism every night?
Seriously, I'll bet this guy thought the country gave him a blank check to make the private sector his Monica Lewinsky.
He STILL thinks this even as support for repealing ObamaCare is now up to 63%
He plays so much golf his nickname on the links is probably Tiger (that works more because he's screwing the American people behind his wifes back and less because he's not white).
He travels the country to go on self-glorifying pep rallies so much he's probably conditioned to want to use Air Force One to take trips to the bathroom.
Next thing you know he'll skip the Memorial Day wreath laying ceremony so he can go vacation to Chicago. At least that's a shark no president will ever jump right?
On Friday, one month later, he's going to finally head to the gulf to do as another conservative humor writer, Doug Powers, put it "plug the damn hole" in his approval rating.Add a comment
So to recap how the week is going so far, Europe's economy is crumbling, the Korea's are about go restart their war, and oil can't stop flowing into the Gulf of Mexico and Obama woke up, quoted Joe Biden and said
Big f*@$ing deal, I'm going to California!
He went there to campaign for Barbara Boxer, looks like he made a pit stop to throw Boxer a bone and present us with the "it could be worse than me" argument.
I don't think this violates McCain-Feingold, so he's probably in the clear. I don't know why I want to come down so hard on him about the gulf oil spill, its not like he can plug it with his finger or something, so what can he do anyway, might as well soak up the sun at beaches that aren't bleeding black gold.
If want to know what photobombing is (after this crystal clear, yet fictional, example) check out the Urban Dictionary definition here.

No funny or smart-assery in this post, just a really nice video of troops coming home to their loved ones. It makes you remember and/or realize there truly is a multiplier effect for sacrifice that takes place with every single soldier that goes over to war. Its not just about them, we're all in this together.
Thanks to The Llama Butchers for this one.

Security as a Service
Introduction to Security as a Service
The mission statement of the Cloud Security Alliance is "… a non-profit organization formed to promote the use of best practices for providing security assurance within Cloud Computing, and provide education on the uses of Cloud Computing to help secure all other forms of computing." In order to provide greater focus on the second part of our mission statement, the CSA is embarking on a new research project to provide greater clarity on the area of Security as a Service.
Numerous security vendors are now leveraging cloud based models to deliver security solutions. This shift has occurred for a variety of reasons including greater economies of scale and streamlined delivery mechanisms. Regardless of the motivations for offering such services, consumers are now faced with evaluating security solutions which do not run on premises. Consumers need to understand the unique nature of cloud delivered security offerings so that they are in a position to evaluate the offerings and to understand if they will meet their needs.
The purpose of this research will be to identify consensus definitions of what Security as a Service means, to categorize the different types of Security as a Service and to provide guidance to organizations on reasonable implementation practices. Other research purposes will be identified by the working group.

Wind is the flow of air or other gases that compose an atmosphere (including, but not limited to, the Earth's). It occurs as air is heated by the Sun and thus rises. Cool air then rushes to occupy the area from which the hot air has just moved. It can be loosely classified as a convection current.
Winds are commonly classified by their spatial scale, their speed, the types of forces that cause them, the geographic regions in which they occur, and their effect. While wind is often a standalone weather phenomenon, it can also occur as part of a storm system, most notably in a cyclone.
Winds can shape landforms, via a variety of aeolian processes.
In human civilization, wind has inspired mythology, changed the course of history, expanded the range of transport and warfare, and provided a power source for mechanical work, electricity, and recreation.
Forces which drive wind or affect it are the pressure gradient force, the Coriolis force, buoyancy forces, and friction forces. When a difference in pressure exists between two adjacent air masses, the air tends to flow from the region of high pressure to the region of low pressure. On a rotating planet, flows will be acted upon by the Coriolis force, in regions sufficiently far from the equator and sufficiently high above the surface.
The two major driving factors of large scale global winds are the differential heating between the equator and the poles (difference in absorption of solar energy between these climate zones), and the rotation of the planet.
Winds defined by an equilibrium of physical forces are used in the decomposition and analysis of wind profiles. They are useful for simplifying the atmospheric equations of motion and for making qualitative arguments about the horizontal and vertical distribution of winds. Examples are:
There are global winds, such as the wind belts which exist between the atmospheric circulation cells. There are upper-level winds which typically include narrow belts of concentrated flow called jet streams. There are synoptic scale winds that result from pressure differences in surface air masses in the middle latitudes, and there are winds that come about as a consequence of geographic features, such as the sea breezes on coastlines or canyon breezes near mountains. Mesoscale winds are those which act on a local scale, such as gust fronts. At the smallest scale are the microscale winds, which blow on a scale of only tens to hundreds of meters and are essentially unpredictable, such as dust devils and microbursts.
In modern usage, many local wind systems have their own names.
Some local winds blow only under certain circumstances; i.e. they require a certain temperature distribution.
Differential heating is the motive force behind land breezes and sea breezes (or, in the case of larger lakes, lake breezes), also known as on- or off-shore winds. Land absorbs and radiates heat faster than water, but water releases heat over a longer period of time. The result is that, in locations where sea and land meet, heat absorbed over the day will be radiated more quickly by the land at night, cooling the air. Over the sea, heat is still being released into the air at night, which rises. This convective motion draws the cool land air in to replace the rising air, resulting in a land breeze in the late night and early morning. During the day, the roles are reversed. Warm air over the land rises, pulling cool air in from the sea to replace it, giving a sea breeze during the afternoon and evening.
Mountain breezes and valley breezes are due to a combination of differential heating and geometry. When the sun rises, it is the tops of the mountain peaks which receive first light, and as the day progresses, the mountain slopes take on a greater heat load than the valleys. This results in a temperature inequality between the two, and as warm air rises off the slopes, cool air moves up out of the valleys to replace it. This upslope wind is called a valley breeze. The opposite effect takes place in the afternoon, as the valley radiates heat. The peaks, long since cooled, transport air into the valley in a process that is partly gravitational and partly convective and is called a mountain breeze.
Forested areas are less than plains and cities, because trees disrupt wind patterns. Trees are defined to have a dampening effect on wind speeds, in that they reduce the partial derivative of pressure differences across non-infinitively occupying plain. Further effects of trees' wind-reducing capabilities come from the fact that trees bend in the wind. Considering the mass of a tree, in comparison to that of air particles, it's highly predictable that much of the total energy of the wind is lost, in kinetic energy, to the trees.
Mountain breezes are one example of what's known more generally as a katabatic wind. These are winds driven by cold air flowing down a slope, and occur on the largest scale in Greenland and Antarctica. Most often, this term refers to winds which form when air which has cooled over a high, cold plateau, is set in motion and descends, under the influence of gravity. Winds of this type are common in regions of Mongolia and in glaciated locations.
Because katabatic refers specifically to the vertical motion of the wind, this group also includes winds which form on the lee side of mountains, and heat as a consequence of compression. Such winds may undergo a temperature increase of 20 °C (68 °F) or more, and many of the world's "named" winds (see #Named Winds above) belong to this group. Among the most well-known of these winds are the chinook of Western Canada and the American Northwest, the Swiss foehn, California's infamous Santa Ana wind, and the French Mistral.
The opposite of a katabatic wind is an anabatic wind, or an upward-moving wind. The above-described valley breeze is an anabatic wind.
A widely-used term, though one not formally recognised by meteorologists, is orographic wind. This refers to air which undergoes orographic lifting. Most often, this is in the context of winds such as the chinook or the föhn, which undergo lifting by mountain ranges before descending and warming on the lee side.
In ancient Greek mythology, the four winds were personified as gods, called the Anemoi - Boreas, Notos, Euros and Zephyros. Aeolus, in varying interpretations the ruler or keeper of the four winds, has also been described as Astraeus, the god of dusk who fathered the four winds with Eos, goddess of dawn.
The Ancient Greeks also observed the seasonal change of the winds, as evidenced by the Tower of the Winds in Athens.
The winds are discussed in the Bible:
Protestant Wind is a name for the storm that deterred the Spanish Armada from an invasion of England in 1588 or the favourable winds that enabled William of Orange to invade England in 1688.
Wind has featured in human cultural works, including art, poetry, music, theatre, novels, films, and television.
Wind figures prominently in several popular sports, including recreational sailing, windsurfing, and kiteboarding. Finally, wind enables the simple pleasure of flying a kite.
Wind has a very important role in aiding plants and other immobile organisms in dispersal of seeds, spores, pollen, etc. Although wind is not the primary form of seed dispersal in plants, it provides dispersal for a large percentage of the biomass of land plants.
The Beaufort wind force scale is an empirical measure for describing wind speed based mainly on observed sea conditions.

Pure Sensia
Lots of radio options, good sound and decent music streaming
Poor software to back up the hardware can leave you feeling a bit frustrated
Pure is all set to go live with its FlowSongs service so we thought it was about time we gave its flagship Flow model, the Pure Sensia, the Pocket-lint once over to see if it really is the game-changing radio device that it is talked up to be.
If you don't know the details regarding the Pure Sensia then let us entertain you first with details of its spec. It is a three-in-one radio - DAB, FM and internet - that also uses its Wi-Fi connection to offer some additional apps and services that you usually wouldn't associate with a radio. Pure likes to call the Sensia: "Radio for the Facebook generation".
So how does it live up to this tagline? Well, firstly to label it simply a radio seems a bit harsh. Sure, it can play radio from all over the world via its connection to Pure's Lounge internet radio menu, as well as the DAB and FM offerings, but it also has tablet like qualities as a result of its 5.7-inch, 640 x 480, TFT touchscreen.
These tablet qualities extend to a small array of apps that come built into the Sensia's software. The apps on board are Facebook, Twitter, Picasa and AccuWeather.
To set up the Facebook app you need to first register your Sensia with Facebook and get an access code in order to enable Facebook use. When this is done you'll be able to post updates as well as read your news feed and liking and disliking statuses. Twitter and Picasa are more straightforward - you simply have to log-in as you would on a PC. Apps can be played in the top right corner of the screen or you can go full screen with them.
Back to the radio capabilities the hook up with Pure's Lounge service means that you'll also get access to listen to Podcasts and Listen Again shows. You can manage your Podcast subscriptions as well as your favourite stations within the Lounge's website. You can add folders and download content directly from the Sensia, but you get far more organisation tools within the browser.
As well as radio, you can also stream your music (WMA, AAC, MP3 and MP2) and your pictures directly from your PC or home network. The Sensia doesn't play very nicely with Windows 7 when it comes to WMP streaming but the Flow Server software, which is available free, does the trick. The Sensia also has a line-in port for any other alternative audio device.
The Sensia is loud for quite a small speaker device. In fact it has two 3-inch drive units with a total output of 30W RMS and it handles deep bass quite well. It's no audiophile grade speaker, but as a radio/iPod docking station for the kitchen or the bedroom it definitely does the job. With the Aux-in option you can also add a boost to the top volume setting, but this just seems to seriously distort the sound without giving it any real increase.
First impressions on build quality and design are that the Sensia resembles one of those 1970s TV sets that tried to appear futuristic. It looks a bit like a monitor from a low budget sci-fi film. But it is charming in its own, rugby ball shaped way despite the thick plasticy appearance.
The power button is a bit weird, it looks as if it could be pressed in, but really it is more of a sensor. It takes a while to get the hang of turning it on and off because of this. If you're not using the DAB or FM settings then you don't need to extend the captive telescopic aerial as the Wi-Fi antenna is built-in. If you do need to extend it to its fullest, it's a bit bulky, but then Pure would argue that it gives a strong reception. The RF remote control looks quite cheap and tacky although it seems to work well.
The touchscreen is okay. Just okay. It's nowhere near as responsive as an iPhone or a Nexus One for example, but it is no slouch either - although it does take a much firmer press than a smartphone.
We've said it before on Pocket-lint and we'll no doubt have to say it again - software isn't one of Pure's strong points. The whole Pure Sensia experience is kind of ruined by the back-end software that supports it. The Lounge is the only place where you can seriously configure your device's settings and the Lounge is, sadly, still a poor showing. If only the device could bypass the need to log on to this painful platform then the experience would be a much nicer one.
And again, the manuals that come with the device leave a lot to be desired. To get the Pure Sensia up and running to its full abilities then, you're going to have to do a lot of digging around online to see what's what as out of the box you're told pretty much diddly-squat.
Also, we experienced a problem updating the device to the latest software. An over-the-air update was offered but this crashed, causing the device to pause on a screen stating that it was "waiting for a USB update". A quick look on the web revealed that this is quite a common problem although Pure has published a workaround.
The only trouble is the USB update only works with Windows XP and the 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and 7. Now call us crazy, but surely a flagship device should support Windows 7 64-bit by now? We had to dust off an old laptop in order to get the Sensia out of its state of vegetation.
The Pure Sensia is, without doubt, a fantastic radio device that adds some nice extra features. But that's all it is - a radio device. The apps make it a bit more interesting than your average DAB radio but you're not going to want to spend a lot of time using the Facebook or Twitter apps - it's just not a very fluid interface.
The media server feature is nice, but we can't help but feel that Pure has missed a trick by not getting Spotify, Napster and the likes on board.
Our overall opinion on the Sensia is nice idea, but must try harder. We like the idea of a radio hub that could sit on the kitchen top and provide access to the web. But the Sensia feels like its web apps have been ham-fisted on board leaving a sour note to what is otherwise a fantastic internet/DAB radio device.
