Reviews for the Samsung NC210-A01DE
Mini in chrome. Fortunately, only the lid is glossy and not the TFT. Two Atom core not only increase the netbook performance, but also make a six hour battery life possible. However, the workmanship has lost some of its previous Samsung glamour.
Source: Digital Versus
With touchscreen tablets eating into netbook market share more every day, Samsung is selling its NC210 for around £300. Is such a price tag still justifiable for a netbook? Answers in our test! The NC210 isn't any better than other netbooks but costs a bit more. Even Samsung sells a model that gives equal performance, costs less and has longer battery life: the NC110.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150: Integrated (shared memory) graphics card in the intel Atom N4xx CPUs. Minimally faster than an old GMA 950 and therefore not suited for 3D games or HD videos (only MPEG2 acceleration).
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
N550: Dual core Atom with a TDP of only 8.5 Watt. Because of the slow clock speed of 1.5 GHz it may be sometimes even slower than a N465 Atom CPU.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
10.1": The netbook/subnotebook has a quite small display format. Nonetheless, it is a common format for netbooks. The advantage is, that the subnotebook/netbook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display has the advantage, that it needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes. It is difficult to use high resolutions. » To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.175 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist hardly any models in this extreme class of weight. 7-9 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Samsung: The Samsung Group is composed of numerous international businesses, all united under the Samsung brand in South Korea. The meaning of the Korean word Samsung is "tristar" or "three stars". The Samsung brand is one of the most important brands of South Korea. Samsung is an international notebook manufacturer of medium size according market shares and reviews.
82.25%: This rating should be considered to be average. This is because the proportion of notebooks which have a higher rating is approximately equal to the proportion which have a lower rating.

The last time we did this, in June, it was a lot of fun, as we played tunes ranging from The Beatles' "Blackbird" to Tom Waits' "Army Ants" to Neko Case's "I'm An Animal."
We also got a bunch of terrific listener suggestions & requests.
We're hoping we'll get a bunch more for the Jan. 6 show, and we invite you to suggest animal songs--new or old, obscure or well-known--right here.

Google Nexus 9 Powered by NVIDIA Tegra K1, Denver 64-bit SoC
Subject: Mobile | October 15, 2014 - 01:10 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: tegra k1, tegra, nvidia, nexus 9, Nexus, google, Denver
Along with the announcement of the Google Nexus 6 phone, Google is also announcing a new tablet, the Nexus 9. Sporting an 8.9-in IPS screen with a 2048x1536 resolution (4:3 standing strong!), a 6700 mAh battery as well as the new Android Lollipop operating system, perhaps the most interesting specification is that it is built around NVIDIA's Tegra K1 SoC. Specifically, the 64-bit version based on the dual-core custom built Denver design, marking that architectures first release in shipping product.
UPDATE: Amazon.com has the Google Nexus 9 up for pre-order in both 16GB and 32GB capacities!
Tegra K1 using 64-bit Denver cores are unique in that it marks the first time NVIDIA has not used off-the-shelf cores from ARM in it's SoC designs. We also know, based on Tim's news post on PC Perspective in August, that the architecture is using a 7-way superscalar design and actually runs a custom instruction set that gets translated to ARMv8 in real-time.
A software layer and 128MB cache enhance the Dynamic Code Optimization technology by allowing the processor to examine and optimize the ARM code, convert it to the custom instruction set, and further cache the converted microcode of frequently used applications in a cache (which can be bypassed for infrequently processed code). Using the wider execution engine and Dynamic Code Optimization (which is transparent to ARM developers and does not require updated applications), NVIDIA touts the dual Denver core Tegra K1 as being at least as powerful as the quad and octo-core packing competition.
It is great news for NVIDIA that Google is using this version of the Tegra K1 (can we please just get a different name for this version of the chip) as it indicates Google's commitment to the architecture in Android going forward, opening doors for the parts integration with even more devices with other hardware vendors moving forward.
More than likely built by HTC, the Nexus 9 will ship in three different colors (black, white and beige) and has a lot of callbacks to the Nexus 7, one of if not THE most popular Android tablet on the market. The tablet has front-facing speakers which should make it good for headphone-free media consumption when necessary. You'll be able put the Nexus 9 into a working mode easily with a new magnetically attached keyboard dock, similar to the iPad accessories widely available.
The Nexus 9 weighs in at 425g (the iPad Air weighs 478g), will have 16GB and 32GB capacity options, going up for preorder on 10/17 and shipping by 11/03. Google will sell both a 32GB Wi-Fi and 32GB LTE model with the LTE version (as well as the Sand color) shipping "later this year." Pricing is set at $399 for the 16GB model, $479 for the 32GB model and $599 for the 32GB+LTE version. That is quite a price hike for LTE capability and the $80 gap between the 16GB and 32GB options is annoying as well.

Google Nexus 6 Phone / Phablet with 6-in 2560x1440 Screen, Android Lollipop
Subject: Mobile | October 15, 2014 - 12:39 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: snapdragon 805, qualcomm, nexus 6, motorola, lollipop, android l, Android
The Android mobile market just got shifted again after three key announcements from Google today to refresh the Nexus family of products that have served as the flagships for Android devices for several years.
First up is the Nexus 6, a phone or phablet depending on your vocabulary preferences, a device with a 5.96-in screen with a resolution of 2560x1440 and a pixel density of 493 ppi. Built by Motorola and sharing a lot of physical design with the recently released Moto X update, the phone is sleek and attractive and will ship in both black and white color schemes.
Other specifications include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 quad-core processors running at up to 2.7 GHz and an Adreno 420 graphics core. Capacities of both 32GB and 64GB will be available.
The Nexus 6 and its 6-in screen makes it larger than the Galaxy Note 4, larger than the iPhone 6 Plus and basically anything else considered a "phone" on the market today. The resolution of the phone is also much higher than the iPhone 6 Plus (only 1920x1080) and this should give Google's flagship a big advantage in clarity and media consumption - as long as the new Android Lollipop lives up to its claims.
Camera features are updated as well to include an f2.0 lens with optical image stabilization and a 13MP resolution. Fast charging is becoming particularly important in modern phones and Google claims the Nexus 6 will be able to get 6 hours of use from only 15 minutes of charging and more than 24 hours use from a full charge. We'll see how that pans out of course.
Google says that the Nexus 6 will ship in November with a pre-order in "late October". Expect an unlocked version on Google's Play Store while you can find on-contract versions at ALL US carriers including AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and even Verizon. On a side note, this marks the first time Verizon will carry a Nexus-branded phone since the Galaxy Nexus in December of 2011.
Be prepared to pay full price for this phone though. Google lists pricing for the 32GB model at $649 and for the 64GB model at $699.

Lenovo's New Yoga Tablet 2 Pro Packs In QHD Display, Pico Projector, and 8W JBL Audio
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | October 10, 2014 - 03:58 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: yoga tablet 2, tablet, qhd, lenovo yoga, Lenovo, ips display, intel atom, business
Yesterday, Lenovo revealed a barrage of products at an event in London including two new convertible laptops and new 8-inch and 10-inch tablets running Windows and Android. The final bit of new hardware to round out the new tablet lineup is the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro which is a larger version of the Yoga Tablet 2 with several tweaks specifically aimed at media consumption with focus on high quality audio and video.
The new tablet is a 13-inch tablet weighing 2.09 pounds and is 0.1-0.5" thick. Available in silver, the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro shares a similar form factor with its smaller siblings including a 180-degree rotating kickstand with a cutout to allow hanging on a wall or the back of an airplane seat. The Pro model further adds a button on the side that pops out the kickstand which is not present on the non-Pro models.
The device is dominated by a large 13.3" QHD 2560x1440 IPS multi-touch display. The JBL audio is improved on the Pro model and includes two 1.5W front facing stereo speakers in addition to a rear 5W subwoofer. A 1.6MP webcam and 8MP rear camera with auto focus remains consistent with the Tablet 2 tablets. Lenovo has added a Pico projector exclusive to the Tablet 2 Pro that is capable of displaying a WVGA (854x480) resolution image up to 50" at between 40-50 lumens. External I/O includes a micro USB (OTG capable) port, 3.5mm audio jack, and one micro SD card slot.
The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro is powered by a quad core Intel Atom Z3745 clocked at 1.86 GHz with 2MB cache, 2GB RAM, and 32GB of internal storage (expandable by up to a 64GB micro SD card). Wireless radios include dual band 802.11 b/g/n and optional 4G (WCDMA 900/2100) which will not be available in the US. According to Lenovo, the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro has a battery life of up to 15 hours.
Curiously, the tablet is running Android 4.4 KitKat rather than Windows 8.1. As such, this is a high end tablet that likely will appeal to consumers wanting a quality media consumption device despite the exclusive (to the Pro) hardware bits that would otherwise appeal to business professionals wanting to create and deliver presentations (which was my first thought when seeing the hardware specifications). With that said, the display and audio are sure to please media enthusiasts. I have reached out to Lenovo for comment on the absence of Bluetooth support (mainly regarding keyboard support) in the documentation and will update the article if I receive a response.
The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro will be available soon with an MSRP of $499. For comparison, the 10-inch Tablet 2 Android has an MSRP of $299. The $200 premium gets up a larger (and higher resolution) display, better potential audio, a projector, and a bit more internal storage space albeit at the cost of slightly shorter battery life.

Back in January, Ryan got his hands on Lenovo's 8-inch and 10-inch Yoga tablets. The tablets ran Android OS, had good battery life, and featured a unique design that included a tube and kickstand. Despite less-than-stellar performance, Ryan came away with positive impressions thanks to the comfortable form factor and long battery life.
That was almost a year ago. Today, Lenovo unveiled updated Yoga tablets that address the pitfalls of the previous models while keeping the unique ergonomic form factor. The Yoga Tablet 2, like its predecessor, comes in 8-inch and 10-inch models and will run Android or Windows 8.1 operating systems, depending on the specific SKU. The Yoga Tablet 2 features upgrades to full resolution displays, Intel Atom Z3745 processors (the previous models used a quad core MediaTek Cortex-A7), and an improved 180-degree hinge. The Android versions come in silver while the Windows 8.1 tablets are ebony black. The table below lists the dimensions and weight of the various models.
|8" Android
|10" Android
|8" Windows
|10" Windows
|0.92 pounds
|1.36 pounds
|0.94 pounds
|1.39 pounds
The Yoga Tablet 2 systems have the same general design as the previous models including one tubular side that holds a large battery, front facing stereo speakers, a power button, and an audio jack. One difference is in the kickstand, which can now be rotated 180-degrees and has a cutout that allows it to be hung on a wall or the back of an airplane seat (for example). Further, the Yoga Tablet 2 (8" and 10" alike) features an 8-inch or 10-inch display with a resolution of 1920x1200, a 1.6MP webcam, and a 8MP rear camera with auto focus and an improved BSI 2 (backside illumination) sensor.
Internal specifications are a huge improvement over the previous models including an Intel Atom Z3745 SoC (quad core clocked at 1.86 GHz with 2MB cache), 2GB LP-DDR3L memory, and internal flash storage. The Android models come with 16GB of internal storage while the Windows versions come with 32GB internal storage. In both cases, uses can use a micro SD card up to 64GB to expand upon the internal storage. Other features include dual band 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, optional 4G (not available in the US), and a battery life of up to 18 hours.
The Android-powered version ships with Android 4.4 KitKat while the Windows version ships with Microsoft Windows 8.1 and one year of Office 365. The Windows version is able to take advantage of Intel Burst technology to allow monitoring of usage and overclocking to improve time to idle and reduced processing time at full load to improve battery life and balance performance.
The 10-inch Windows version comes bundled with a Bluetooth Accutype keyboard cover that can also be purchased separately for the 10-inch Android tablet.
Lenovo looks to have a winner on its hands with its updated Yoga Tablet 2 tablets, and I'm interested to see reviewers put them through their paces. On the Android side, the 8-inch Yoga Tablet 2 has a MSRP of $249 and the 10-inch model has a MSRP of $299. The Windows model starts at $299 for the 8-inch model and $399 for the 10-inch model with bundled keyboard. According to Lenovo these are the launch prices and rebates may be available in the future.
Lenovo Introduces New Yoga 3 Pro and ThinkPad Yoga 14 Tablet PCs
Subject: Systems, Mobile | October 9, 2014 - 03:41 PM | Tim Verry

At a press event in London (watch the livestream), Lenovo showed off two new convertible PCs – the Yoga 3 Pro and ThinkPad Yoga 14 – aimed at the consumer and business markets respectively that each incorporate evolutionary improvements over their predecessors. The Windows 8.1 PCs will be available at the end of October.
The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro is the company's new flagship multi-mode system, and features build quality and internal processing power enhancements over the Yoga 2 Pro while being 17% thinner (0.5") and 14% lighter (2.62 lbs). Lenovo attributes the size and weight reductions to its new watchband hinge which is uses 800 pieces of aluminum and steel to achieve a thin yet flexible hinge with six focus points that resembles a metal watchband. Additionally, Lenovo has updated the display to a 13.3" multi-touch panel with (QHD+) 3200x1800 resolution. Other external features include JBL stereo speakers, a 720p webcam, two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 and DC-input port, one micro HDMI output, and one audio combo jack.
Lenovo's new hand-constructed watchband-style hinge with six focus points.
Internally, Lenovo is using the Intel Core M-70 (Broadwell) processor, up to 8GB of DDR3L memory, and a 256GB SSD. Lenovo claims up to 9 hours of battery life, depending on usage. The PC will be available in Clementine Orange, Platinum Silver, or Champagne Gold.
Lenovo also announced the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 14. While it does not have the kinds of form factor and hinge design improvements as the Yoga 3 Pro, it does maintain the useful Lift 'n Lock keyboard and feature welcome internal upgrades. The ThinkPad Yoga 14 measures 13.3" x 9.4" x 0.82" and weighs 4.1 pounds. The magnesium alloy frame holds a 14" 1920x1080 IPS display with 10-point multi-touch, a 720p webcam, dual microphones with noise cancelation, stereo speakers, a backlit Lift 'n Lock keyboard (which, when in tablet mode, raises the frame flush with the keys which lock in place), full keyboard, trackpad, and trackpoint nub.
This PC is noticeably bulkier and heavier than the Yoga 3 Pro, but it trades bulk for processing power, storage, and external I/O. Externally, the PC has one full HDMI video out (which is preferable to having to remember a micro HDMI adapter on the road or to meetings), two USB 3.0 ports, one combo USB 2.0/DC power/OneLink docking connector, one SD card slot, and one audio combo jack. The ThinkPad Yoga 14 is powered by an Intel Core i5 (Haswell) processor, NVIDIA GeForce 840M GPU, either 4GB or 8GB of DDR3L memory, and 1TB hard drive paired with 16GB flash for caching purposes. It comes with Windows 8.1 and "all day" battery life of up to eight hours.
In all, it has some useful updates over last year's model which we reviewed here.
Pricing and Availability:
The Yoga 3 Pro and ThinkPad Yoga 14 will be available at the end of October from Lenovo.com or Best Buy. The Yoga 3 Pro has an MSRP of $1,349 while the ThinkPad Yoga 14 starts at $1,149.
Both systems continue the Yoga family forward, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the Broadwell-powered Yoga 3 Pro performs in particular. I do wish the Lift 'n Lock keyboard technology had trickled down to the consumer models even understanding it would add additional weight and thickness. Obviously, Lenovo felt the tradeoff was not worth it though.
MSI Revamps Armory of Gaming Laptops with Latest NVIDIA GTX 970M & 980M Graphics
Subject: Mobile | October 7, 2014 - 01:26 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: nvidia, msi, maxwell, GTX 980M, GTX 970M, gt dominator, gs stealth, gs ghost
You've heard about NVIDIA's new GTX900M Series and MSI has released two new families of gaming laptops which contain the new GPU. The GS Stealth and Ghost series are the thinner, lighter more mobile of the laptops while the Dominator Series is more a desktop replacement and should also give you a good workout while you are carting them around. The base model will run you $1600, with more expensive options available such as the limited edition Crimson Red Stealth Pro model at the end. Before you ask, no the integral displays are not G-SYNC however since the mobile GPUs are based on Maxwell you may be able to output to a G-SYNC monitor with a variable refresh. Stay tuned for more.
City of Industry, Calif. – October 7, 2014 – MSI Computer Corp, a leading manufacturer of computer hardware products and solutions, announces the immediate availability of the critically acclaimed GS Stealth/Ghost Series and GT Dominator Series gaming laptops with NVIDIA's latest GTX 900M Series graphics. Armed with unprecedented power and an array of cutting-edge features, including MSI's new SHIFT technology, the new gaming notebooks deliver up to 28% more graphics performance for a mobile gaming experience without barriers.
"MSI's newest gaming laptops showcase breakthroughs in mobile gaming technology that improve graphics performance, increase gaming comfort, and transport gamers into an unbelievable gaming journey," says Andy Tung, president of MSI Pan America. "NVIDIA's GTX 900M Series GPU delivers mobile graphics that are up to par with desktop graphics card models and superior to anything we've ever seen."
SHIFT Your Speed
MSI's newest gaming laptops feature their exclusive SHIFT power adjustment technology that enables easy tweaking of CPU and GPU performance to best suit the gamers' needs. SHIFT comes with three proprietary modes: Sport to maximize CPU and GPU usage for extreme performance, Comfort for a smooth and balanced ride, and Green, which enables the lowest power consumption of both CPU and GPU while maintaining the coolest constant temperatures for both.
Unprecedented Customization
MSI provides unprecedented customization in all NVIDIA GeForce GTX 900M Series graphics equipped laptops via the Dragon Gaming Center and SteelSeries Engine. Gamers can SHIFT CPU and GPU usage through the Dragon Gaming Center as well as monitor system performance, temperature, network speed, power consumption, fan speed and more. The SteelSeries Engine gives gamers the ability to personalize playing style with over a billion customization options, program individual keys for unlimited configurations, determine key color and lighting patterns, save and share configurations, and learn gaming patterns with key usage statistics.
Cutting Edge Components
All revamped gaming laptops come with 4th Gen Intel Core i7 processors, Killer E2200 Game Networking, Sound Blaster Cinema, Dynaudio Technology, XSplit Gamecaster, 4K HDMI Output, Matrix Display and NVIDIA Surround View. NVIDIA Surround is now supported on all next gen models, allowing gamers to immersive themselves in the ultimate gaming experience. Select models come with MSI's Super RAID technology which supports up to 4x M.2 SATA SSD's in RAID 0, ultra-high resolution 3K displays, and Killer DoubleShot Pro combining Killer E2200 Game Networking with Killer N1525 Wireless AC.
MSI's latest update applies to the ultra-thin and light GS70 Stealth Pro and GS60 Ghost Pro models, and the potent GT72 Dominator, GT70 Dominator and GT60 Dominator gaming laptops. All GS and GT gaming laptops equipped with NVIDIA's GTX 900M graphics are available now starting at $1,599.99.
In addition, MSI is launching a special edition GS70 Stealth Pro in Crimson Red, catering to the demands of gamers who want more choices in color and style. The GS70 Stealth Pro Crimson Red edition will be available through online retailers with next gen graphics.
If there is one message that I get from NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 900M-series announcement, it is that laptop gaming is a first-class citizen in their product stack. Before even mentioning the products, the company provided relative performance differences between high-end desktops and laptops. Most of the rest of the slide deck is showing feature-parity with the desktop GTX 900-series, and a discussion about battery life.
First, the parts. Two products have been announced: The GeForce GTX 980M and the GeForce GTX 970M. Both are based on the 28nm Maxwell architecture. In terms of shading performance, the GTX 980M has a theoretical maximum of 3.189 TFLOPs, and the GTX 970M is calculated at 2.365 TFLOPs (at base clock). On the desktop, this is very close to the GeForce GTX 770 and the GeForce GTX 760 Ti, respectively. This metric is most useful when you're compute bandwidth-bound, at high resolution with complex shaders.
The full specifications are:
|CUDA Cores
|Core (MHz)
|Perf. (TFLOP)
|Up to 4GB
|Up to 3GB
|Memory Rate
|2500 MHz
|2500 MHz
|7.0 (GT/s)
|7.0 (GT/s)
|2500 MHz
|Memory Width
|Process Node
|DirectX Version
As for the features, it should be familiar for those paying attention to both desktop 900-series and the laptop 800M-series product launches. From desktop Maxwell, the 900M-series is getting VXGI, Dynamic Super Resolution, and Multi-Frame Sampled AA (MFAA). From the latest generation of Kepler laptops, the new GPUs are getting an updated BatteryBoost technology. From the rest of the GeForce ecosystem, they will also get GeForce Experience, ShadowPlay, and so forth.
For VXGI, DSR, and MFAA, please see Ryan's discussion for the desktop Maxwell launch. Information about these features is basically identical to what was given in September.
BatteryBoost, on the other hand, is a bit different. NVIDIA claims that the biggest change is just raw performance and efficiency, giving you more headroom to throttle. Perhaps more interesting though, is that GeForce Experience will allow separate one-click optimizations for both plugged-in and battery use cases.
The power efficiency demonstrated with the Maxwell GPU in Ryan's original GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 review is even more beneficial for the notebook market where thermal designs are physically constrained. Longer battery life, as well as thinner and lighter gaming notebooks, will see tremendous advantages using a GPU that can run at near peak performance on the maximum power output of an integrated battery. In NVIDIA's presentation, they mention that while notebooks on AC power can use as much as 230 watts of power, batteries tend to peak around 100 watts. Given that a full speed, desktop-class GTX 980 has a TDP of 165 watts, compared to the 250 watts of a Radeon R9 290X, translates into notebook GPU performance that will more closely mirror its desktop brethren.
Of course, you probably will not buy your own laptop GPU; rather, you will be buying devices which integrate these. There are currently five designs across four manufacturers that are revealed (see image above). Three contain the GeForce GTX 980M, one has a GTX 970M, and the other has a pair of GTX 970Ms. Prices and availability are not yet announced.
New Amazon Kindle Fire HDX Features Cameras and Optional Keyboard
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | October 4, 2014 - 11:43 PM | Tim Verry
Amazon launched a bevy of new tablets and eReaders late last month. An updated Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 will be available October 21st and replaces last year's model as the flagship Kindle tablet.
Measuring 8.9" and weighing 13.2 ounces (13.7oz for the 4G model), the upcoming HDX 8.9" tablet retains the same form factor as its predecessor. The mobile device does pack in internal hardware improvements, updated software features, and an optional bluetooth Fire Keyboard accessory. The tablet features an 8.9" 2560x1600 (339 PPI) display, Dobly Atmos audio, an 8MP rear camera, and a 720p front-facing webcam. Amazon is using what it calls "Dynamic Light Control" which alters the display's color temperature to match ambient light along with a dynamic backlighting.
With that said, the major changes between the previous model and the new Fire HDX 8.9 lie in updated internal hardware and Amazon's latest operating system and UI features. Specifically, Amazon has upgraded to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC and a faster (802.11ac) Wi-Fi radio. Last year's tablet used the Snapdragon 800 clocked at 2.2GHz with an Adreno 330 GPU. The new HDX 8.9's Snapdragon 805 is clocked at 2.5GHz and features an Adreno 420 GPU. Both tablets feature 2GB RAM and 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB internal storage options. Amazon claims up to 12 hours of battery life when reading, browsing the web, and watching videos.
The new tablet with ship with Amazon's latest Fire OS operating system known as Fire OS 4.0 "Sangria." Sangria is a custom fork of Android 4.4 KitKat that features Amazon's custom user interface in addition to ASAP predictive pre-loading, Smart Suspend technology, Family Library media sharing, device profiles, and Mayday help/support.
The Fire Keyboard is a 7oz, 4.8mm thin Bluetooth keyboard that can attach magnetically to the optional Origami tablet case. The keyboard features 74 keys (including shortcut and search keys), a small trackpad, Bluetooth 3.0, and a lithium ion battery that has a claimed battery life of two months of active usage. It has an MSRP of $59.99 and will begin shipping October 21.The Origami case is another optional accessory that can hold and protect both the keyboard and tablet. It will be available in black, blue, and red leather for $69.99 from Amazon.
The new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is up for pre-order now but will officially be available on October 21st. Pricing and SKU data is listed in the table below. Needless to say, this is an overall minor upgrade over last year's model and it is not something existing HDX 8.9" users are likely excited about. However, on its own, the new model has decent specifications and if you are looking into a new Kindle Fire tablet, it is worth considering, especially if you plan to take advantage of the faster processor for activities such as gaming in addition to reading books and watching movies.

Introduction and Design
A little over a year ago, we posted our review of the Lenovo Y500, which was a gaming notebook that leveraged not one, but two discrete video adapters (2 x NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M in SLI, to be exact) to achieve respectable gaming performance at a reasonable price point (around $1,200 at the time of the review).
Well—take away nearly a pound of weight (to 5.7 lbs), slim the case down to around an inch thick, update the chipset, and remove one video card, and you've got the Lenovo Y50 Touch, which ought to be able to improve upon the Y500 in nearly every area if the specifications add up to typical results. Here's the full list of what our review unit includes:
While the GTX 860M (2 GB) is a far cry from, say, the GTX 880M (8 GB) we had the pleasure of testing in MSI's GT70 2PE, it's still a very capable card that should provide satisfactory results without breaking the bank (or the back). The rest of the spec sheet is conventional fare for a budget gaming notebook, with the only other surprise being the inclusion of a touchscreen—an option which replaces the traditional matte LCD panel in the standard Y50.
The configuration we received has already been slightly updated to include a CPU that's a nudge better than the i7-4700HQ: the i7-4710HQ (which gains it 100 MHz in Turbo Boost clock rate). Otherwise, the specs are identical, and the street price is very close to that of the Y500 we originally reviewed: $1,139. Currently, an extra 10 bucks will also score you an external DVD+/-RW drive, and just 90 bucks more will boost your GTX 860M's VRAM to 4 GB (from 2 GB) and your system RAM to 16 GB from 8 GB. That's really not a bad deal at all.

KickStarter: MatchStick Is Chromecast-like with Firefox OS
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | October 1, 2014 - 03:17 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Kickstarter, Firefox OS, web, chromecast
When Google released the Chromecast, it was a surprisingly clean solution for streaming video (my apologies if solutions existed before it). Just plug it into HDMI and connect to it with a PC or a mobile device to use the TV as monitor for content, and it is cheap. I figured that the open source community would like one of their own, but I did not think it was going to be done. Now there is a Kickstarter up, with FirefoxOS.
I constantly struggle with whether to discuss crowdfunding because, on the one hand, you never know if something will tank. On the other hand, is it really any less sketchy than pre-release information for computer hardware or video games (especially pre-release news for video games)?
In this case, I found out that it was promoted by Mozilla on their Hacks blog. It is based on a Rockchip 3066 SoC with 1GB RAM, 4GB of storage and 2.4 GHz Wireless-N. As stated earlier, it runs FirefoxOS which means that apps are websites. The SoC has a Mali-400 GPU that is capable of OpenGL ES 2.0, so it might even be able to support WebGL if the software and drivers are certified. Don't expect jaw-dropping 3D graphics, though. The GPU is rated at about 9 GFLOPs. For comparison, the Tegra K1 has a peak compute throughput of about 365 GFLOPs; alternatively, it is fairly close to later-model Intel GMA graphics (not Intel HD Graphics... GMA). Still, it might allow for some interesting 2D (or simplistic 3D) games.
Just a day-or-so in, it is already at over 150% funding.

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
Startup company Gogy Inc. and the University of Colorado have executed an exclusive licensing agreement that will enable the company to commercialize the Pedago.gy interactive teaching platform developed at CU-Boulder's Leeds School of Business.
Pedago.gy is a Web application that creates a space for educators and students to engage in additional interaction and dialogue beyond the classroom. It provides a means whereby students and instructors can approach a topic in a collaborative fashion, rather than the typical expert-learner model found in most classrooms.
University of Colorado Boulder students will have another four years at the controls of NASA's Kepler mission, launched in 2009 to hunt down Earth-like rocky planets in other solar systems and which has succeeded in spectacular fashion.
We all have our favorite study spots. Some enjoy the comfort of their own rooms for serious studying, while others find the serenity of Norlin Library valuable when getting work done.
On a campus as large as CU's, there are bound to be spots as interesting and unique as the students they serve. Places where the environment can be so interesting and charming that you might find yourself paying more attention to your surroundings than your studies.
Patrick Mason, a professor of voice at the University of Colorado Boulder's College of Music, has been selected to receive the 2012 Hazel Barnes Prize. The prize is the highest faculty recognition for teaching and research awarded by the university.
Mason will receive an engraved university medal and $20,000, the largest single faculty award funded by CU-Boulder. He will be recognized at spring commencement on May 11 and at a reception in his honor in the fall.
A web-based science instruction program designed by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research that provides teachers with cutting-edge digital content is being tested in six school districts, thanks to a new $600,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.
With many employers using social media and conducting Google searches as part of their employee screening process, creating a positive and professional online presence can go a long way in helping students land a job out of school.
However, simply building a professional online appearance is not the only thing students should worry about. Minimizing a negative online presence can be just as important.
Minimizing a negative online presence
Ten high school students from Denver, Thornton and Lyons are likely in for an experience of a lifetime when a University of Colorado Boulder law professor takes them to Washington, D.C., for a moot court competition March 29-April 1.
While there, they also will meet with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and tour the Supreme Court, meet with U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette of Colorado and tour the Capitol, in addition to visiting several national monuments and museums.
For the past eight months, CU-Boulder Law School students have been working with 250 high school students at seven area high schools on building a strong foundation of civics education as part of the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project, a national program designed to give high school students an in-depth look at constitutional law.
CU System news release
Two University of Colorado professors who have skillfully integrated teaching and research at a high level throughout their careers at CU-Boulder have been designated as 2012 President's Teaching Scholars.
DENVER – Graduate programs across the University of Colorado system continue to earn national prominence based on the latest annual rankings from U.S. News & World Report.

A first day of talks between Iran and world powers about a nuclear program that the West suspects is aimed at nuclear bomb research showed a "fair amount of disagreement" but also areas of common ground, a senior U.S. official said.
"I believe we have the beginning of a negotiation," the official said of the talks, which opened on Wednesday and lasted late into the evening. "But still we have to come to closure…about what are the next appropriate steps."
Iran was "engaged" in the discussions, and the meeting would continue into a second day on Thursday, the official said, adding that there was "plenty to go on" for a potential further round of talks.
Earlier on Wednesday, envoys for Iran and the United States, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany exchanged unusually detailed proposals at the talks in Baghdad in hopes of defusing a long standoff over suspicions Tehran's atomic energy program may be a disguised quest for nuclear weapons.
Both sides have been publicly upbeat about the scope for an outline deal following a 15-month diplomatic freeze and exploratory talks in Istanbul last month.

Modifying IPPB Therapy
To know when and how to modify IPPB therapy, you first must understand the three basic indications for these treatments:
Although IPPB for the last indication (providing short-term ventilatory support) has been largely replaced with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (e.g., BiPAP), it is still used frequently enough for this purpose to warrant a brief discussion.
From Sills JR. Respiratory Care Certification Guide. 2 ed. St. Louis: Mosby; 1994.
Depending on the IPPB device used, you generally have direct control over the following parameters during IPPB therapy:
In addition, you are responsible for selecting the appropriate airway appliance (mouthpiece, flanged mouthpiece, mask, or 15 mm ET tube adaptor) for the patient.
The rate and depth of breathing are primarily determined by the patient and the interaction of the patient's lung mechanics with the therapist-chosen settings. Changes in these parameters can require both patient coaching and adjustment of the IPPB device, as outlined below.
Airway Interface. Generally, you select a mouthpiece for alert patients; for patients with a trach or ET tube, you select a 15 mm adaptor and short flex tube.
Basic Settings. Regardless of indications, you generally start out new patients with similar initial IPPB settings:
FIO2 Control. Matching the patient's prescribed FIO2 is easier said than done. Pneumatic units can be powered by either compressed air (21% O2) or 50 psig oxygen. When run on oxygen, you alter FIO2 via an air-mix control. When the air mix control is off/closed, these devices deliver 100% O2. When air mix is on/open, pneumatic IPPB units deliver a variable FIO2, usually averaging above 50%. To get precise control over FIO2 with pneumatically-powered IPPB units, you must attache them to an O2 blender and set them to deliver pure source gas (air mix OFF).
The air mix control also affects the amount and pattern of inspiratory flow. In the air-mix modes, flow capability is higher and the pattern of flow (decelerating ramp) more normal. When air-mix is off (pure source gas delivery), available flow is less and often delivered via a less normal square wave pattern (constant flow).
Electrically-powered IPPB units use small air compressors and thus deliver 21% O2. Moderate but inexact FIO2s can be achieved with these units by bleeding 100% O2 into the delivery circuit.
Initial Adjustments. Immediately upon initiation of therapy, you should carefully observe the IPPB unit's manometer for the pattern of pressure changes occurring during breathing (see the graphic representations of these changes in the figure below). The goal is to achieve quick and near-effortless on-triggering, followed by a relatively rapid pressure rise and ending in a short plateau (C in the figure). In pattern A, the large drop in airway pressure below zero before the breath starts indicates improper triggering, usually corrected by increasing the sensitivity. In pattern B airway pressure drops below zero after the breath starts. This 'scalloping' of the pressure waveform is a tell-tale indicator that the patient's flow exceeds that provided by the machine. Normally, if you observe this condition you would either coach the patient to relax and let the machine do the work, or increase the inspiratory flow setting (Bird and PR-2 only).
Scanlan, CL, Wilkins, RL & Stoller, JK (Eds.). Egans Fundamentals of
Respiratory Care (7th Ed.). St. Louis, MO: Mosby, 1999.
If, on the other hand the machine does not cycle when the patient reaches end-inspiration, you most likely have a leak. Assuming prior proper check-out of the device before patient application (to confirm no system leaks), the problem is most likely a leak at the airway interface. In alert patients, simple coaching can overcome this problem ("seal the lips tightly around the mouthpiece!"). Sometimes adding noseclips will help if the leak is mainly through the nose. Mouth leaks in edentulous patients or those less alert can generally be overcome by using a flanged mouthpiece ('Bennett Seal'). For patients with tracheostomy or ET tubes, the primary source of leaks are cuff-related. Proper cuff inflation can solve most of these problems.
If leaks cannot be completely overcome, some IPPB devices provide a control to help. Typically called 'terminal flow' these controls add flow at the end of the breath to help compensate for the leak and allow proper off-cycling.
In unconscious patients, those with significant upper airway muscle weakness or those not able to cooperate, you may sometimes need to use a mask to apply IPPB therapy. You must take great care when applying IPPB therapy by mask, due the risk of gastric aspiration. Always use a clear mask and try to avoid pressures over 15 cm H2O (the esophageal opening pressure).
Once proper triggering, a good pressure pattern and normal off-cycling are established, you should coach the patient to breath slowly (6 to 8/min) and establish an I:E ratio of 1:3 or less (1:4, 1:5).
After establishing a good breathing pattern, you will usually modify the therapy to better achieve the basic goal - either lung expansion or aerosol drug delivery.
Modifications to Achieve Effective Lung Expansion. As a lung expansion therapy, the goal of IPPB therapy is to achieve inspired volumes large enough to prevent or reverse atelectasis. The common goal is a tidal volume of 12-15 mL/kg ideal body weight (IBW). For a 70 kg man, this would mean a tidal volume of between 840 to 1050 mL, or about a liter. To assess goal achievement, you must measure the tidal volumes during therapy. To do so, you must attach a volumeter to the IPPB circuit's expiratory port.
The tidal volume achieved during IPPB is a function of patient effort, patient mechanics and applied pressure. With proper coaching and pressure adjustment, most patients can achieve a tidal volume in the 12-15 mL/kg range. In general, if the volumes are falling short of your goal, you slowly increase the pressure a couple of cm H2O at a time until you approach 12-15 mL/kg. The lower the compliance of the patient's lungs and/or thorax, the greater will be the pressure needed to achieve these volumes.
Modifications to Improve Aerosol Drug Delivery. When used to aid aerosol drug delivery, emphasis is on achieving a good pattern of breathing and properly timing nebulization. As with drug delivery to spontaneously breathing patients, the goal is moderately deep breaths, followed by a breath hold. Volumes need not be measured, but can be judged at the bedside by observation. On the other hand, if a bronchodilator is being administered and the patient is able, pre/post expiratory flow measurements should be made to assess drug action.
To achieve the ideal breathing pattern for aerosol drug deliver usually requires lower flows, especially in patients with airway obstruction. This is because airway obstruction can cause premature off-cycling of IPPB devices when set to deliver high flows. Lower flows also tend to increase the inspiratory time, which can further aid drug deposition in the lungs. However, coaching is required to assure an good breath-hold, since IPPB devices do not provide this feature.
In addition, to avoid wastage, and maximize delivery, you normally only nebulize the drug during inspiration. Otherwise, as much as 1/2 to 2/3 of the drug aerosol will escape out the expiratory port during exhalation. Other modifications to IPPB for aerosol drug delivery are similar to aerosol drug delivery in general (e.g., dosages, frequency of administration, etc.).
Whether trying to aid lung expansion or delivery aerosolized drugs with IPPB, you must always be on guard to prevent hyperventilation. Because some patients tend to breath too rapidly during a IPPB procedure, hyperventilation is a common side effect. Feelings of dizziness, light-headedness, and tingling in the fingers (paresthesia) are all symptoms of hyperventilation. Coaching the patient to maintain low rates of breathing (6 to 8/min) is the best way to avoid this problem.
Modifications to Provide Short-Term Ventilatory Support. Although short-term ventilatory support can be provided by mouthpiece with cooperative patients, it is more common to use an oronasal mask or deliver support directly through an ET tube. When providing short-term ventilatory support via IPPB, you normally select a device capable of automatic time-triggering (Bird Mark 7 or 8, Bennett PR-1 or PR-2 ). This provides the equivalent of assist-control ventilation (assuring back-up ventilation should the patient become apneic). To time-trigger the Bird Mark 7 or 8, you activate the Apnea control. The Bennett PR-1 and PR-2 have a similar Rate control that activates time-triggering. However, the Bennett rate control differs from that on the Bird units in that it also provides for time-cycling of breaths. This makes its function very similar to pressure support ventilation, which is either flow- or time-cycled. In addition, the PR-2 allows independent adjustment of the I:E ratio via an Expiratory Time control. With both the Bird and Bennett units, the inspiratory time is a function of (1) the set pressure limit, (2) the inspiratory flow, and (3) the patient's lung mechanics. You control I-time mainly via the set pressure and flow. In general, I-times are shortest with low pressures, high flows and when the compliance is low and the resistance is high. Long I-times occur under the opposite conditions.
COPD patients present a special case for three reasons: (1) high expiratory flow resistance, (2) potential sensitivity to oxygen-induced hypoventilation, and (3) compensated respiratory acidosis.
High expiratory flow resistance makes COPD patients prone to air trapping during IPPB therapy. To help avoid this problem encouraged these patients to breath at lower than normal rates (< 6-8/min). In addition, you can shorten the inspiratory time and get a lower I:E ratio by increasing the flow. This will give the COPD patient more time to fully exhale. An alternative approach is expiratory retard. Expiratory retard slows expiratory flows and and creates 'back pressure' against exhalation. This keeps the small airways open for a longer period of time and may minimize air trapping/auto-PEEP in patients with COPD. Expiratory retard increases mean airway pressure which may result in cardiovascular depression.
In terms of COPD patient and oxygen-induced hypoventilation, this can be avoided by titrating the patient's FIO2 during therapy to match his or her prescribed FIO2. Often the easiest way to assure this match-up is to apply air-powered IPPB therapy while the patient remains on nasal O2 at the prescribed flow. Pneumatic devices driven by oxygen should be avoided since they provide moderate to high FIO2s.
The last problem is seen when a COPD patient with compensated respiratory acidosis (e.g., pH of 7.37, PaCO2 64 mm Hg, and HCO3 33 mEq/L) receives IPPB. The typically increase in ventilation that can occur with this therapy easily disrupts this compensated state, causing an rapid decline in PCO2 and abrupt alkalosis. You avoid this scenario by coaching the patient to breath slowly.

Lubango — The governor of Huila province, João Marcelino Tyipinge reaffirmed today, Wednesday, in Lubango, that his executive will reinforce material support to sports associations, with the expectation that the sport will grow increasingly.
Speaking at the homage ceremony that Huila provincial government gave to the athletes Ana Isabel Elias (retired distance runner) and elected Diva for Sport 2012, as the gymnast Zulmira Jempele (10 years), who participated in the African Cup in South Africa and won the silver medal.
Marcelino Tyipinge said the executive through the provincial department of Youth and Sports and Education has planned implementation of the program of mass sectors, communes and municipalities, action to be carried out from schools.
He noted that this programme aims to develop the sport because Huila province was once considered one of the powers of athletics.
The governor said that besides the mass, the executive will provide support to provincial associations of various types so that they can implement the actions within.

In cosmetic shops or department stores there is nearly always a perfume and fragrance section where you can browse all the most popular perfumes available. With there being so many for you to choose from it is often hard deciding on the one you want to buy, it can only be put down to personal preference as perfumes smell slightly different on each person.
When shopping for perfume, take your time. With so many scents and perfume tester sprays, the receptors in your nose will shut off, so that the scents you are testing will not be as distinctive, or several scents could blend into one. This could cause you to come home with a scent you do not like. Many shops will allow you to test the fragrances, either on a piece of your skin (usually the underside of the wrist) or a piece of card. This allows you to 'road test' the fragrances, so you may sample them in different atmospheres, and around different smells. It also allows your nose to 'reset', so that you can smell normally. Take plenty of breaks in order to give your nose chance to rest. Taking a break and leaving a store allows your palate to be cleansed. In the same way that a wine taster would eat bread between wines, you should go outside to cleanse the palate with fresh air.
There are a number of 'families' of fragrance, each classed into a theme, or accord:
Floral - Where the dominating scent is that of one or more types of flower. When only one flower is used, the perfume is called a soliflore.
Chypre - Fragrances created using a base of bergamo, oakmoss and labdanum. The accord is named after the French word for Cyprus, where the base was inspired. This fragrance family is characterised by scents of apricot and custard.
Aldehydic - Fragrances incorporating the family of chemicals known as aldehydes. Chanel No.5 was the first Aldehydic perfume; and perfumes in this family have a distinct "piquante" note.
Fougère - Where the base of the fragrance is lavender, coumarin or oakmoss. Many men's fragrances belong to this family, characterized by its sharp herbaceous and woody scent.
Leather - A family of fragrances featuring the scents of honey, tobacco, wood and wood tars in its base or middle notes, creating a scent which alludes to leather.
Woody - Fragrances dominated by wooden scents, typically of sandalwood and cedar. Patchouli can also be frequently found in these perfumes.
Orientals (or Ambers) - A large fragrance class, featuring the scents of vanilla and animal scents together with flowers and wood. Frequently enhanced by camphorous oils and incense resins.
Citrus - An old fragrance family, which usually consisted of 'freshening' Eau de colognes due to the low tenacity of citrus scents. Development of newer fragrance compounds has allowed for the creation of primarily citrus fragrances.
A perfume contains a mix of alcohol and water, which is used as a solvent for the aromatics in the fragrance. When the perfume is applied to skin, the heat from the body causes the solvent to disperse, allowing the fragrance to be released over a period of several hours. The rate of evaporation, and the odour strength of the perfume determine the tenacity of the compound and thus its perfume note classification.
Top Notes - Scents that are perceived immediately upon application of the perfume. Top notes create the scents that form a persons initial impression of a perfume, and as a result are very important during the selling of a perfume. The scents of these notes are normally described as 'fresh', 'assertive' or 'sharp'. The compounds which contribute to these top notes are strong in scent, though are very volatile and tend to evaporate quickly. Citrus and ginger scents are common top note scents.
Middle Notes (or Heart Notes) - This is the scent of a perfume which emerges once the top notes have dissipated. The middle note compounds from the 'heart' or main body of a perfume, and acts to mask the often unpleasant initial impression of the base notes, helping it to become more pleasant over time. As a result, fragrances in the middle notes tend to be more mellow and rounded, and can appear any time between 2 minutes and an hour after the application of the perfume. Lavender and rose accents are typical middle notes.
Perfume Base Notes - The scent of a perfume which appears after the departure of the top scents. The base and middle notes are the main scents in a perfume, with the base scents bringing depth and solidness to the perfume. Compounds in this class are often used to hold and boost the strength of the top and heart notes, and are usually rich and deep. The base note scents are usually perceived about 30 minutes after the application of the perfume. Musk, vetiver and plant resin scents are often used as base notes.

Lawmakers and government agencies are pushing for "smart" driver's licenses to reduce identity fraud in the wake of Sept. 11. But many fear this will lead to virtual national identity cards that could infringe upon the private rights of citizens.
Proposals to make identification more difficult to duplicate have gained more support since investigators discovered some of the hijackers of the planes that crashed into the WTC and the Pentagon had used fraudulent identification.
Bills are already being created on Capitol Hill. Illinois Democrat Dick Durbin in the Senate and Virginia Democrat Jim Moran in the House are preparing bills that would provide funding to update and standardize drivers' licenses. Moran's proposal would also provide funding for states to develop smart-card capabilities. Congress has also directed the U.S. Department of Transportation to develop a set of standards on its own.
Some measures being given serious consideration for drivers' license identification include standardized applications, digitized retinal or handprint scans, and wider access to drivers' records.
National standardization of these additions to drivers' licenses could make forgery nearly impossible and enable authorities to more easily catch criminals who cross state lines.
Already in use in eight states and the District of Columbia, biometric identifiers encode a body part such as a fingerprint or retina to establish what proponents say is ''unforgeable'' proof of identity.
State and federal authorities such as the FBI would also be able to easily link their records under the proposals made by the Association of American Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA). This would allow a police officer in Florida, for example, to call up the criminal record of someone stopped with a Michigan driver's license.
But the system could also encourage crimes like identity theft by making personal records more readily available, said EPIC's Rotenberg.
States are only looking to boost the effectiveness of the current system, said a spokesman for the AAMVA. Private businesses, such as airlines, could use the biometric data to verify identity, but not to tap into the underlying databases.

Preds Win Thriller; Take 2-1 Series Lead
Playoff hockey was at its best on Sunday night as the Predators defeated the Ducks by a 4-3 score in front of a sold-out Bridgestone Arena crowd. A raucous home crowd, and the prospect of taking a lead in the series was enough to get things going for Nashville.
Martin Erat got the scoring started for the Predators when he scored on a rebound to put the Preds up 1-0 on the power-play 15:00 into the 1st period. Just 38 seconds later, Jordin Tootoo put the Preds up by two on a great individual effort. Tootoo got the puck and rang his first shot off the post, and then scored on the rebound while falling to the ice. The Preds went into the 1st intermission with a 12-4 shot advantage and a 2-0 lead.
In the 2nd period, the Preds dominated the play but almost let the Ducks take control of the game. Mike Fisher took on Ryan Getzlaf in a decent fight, but that seemed to provide Anaheim with a little jump. Teemu Selanne struck on the power-play for the Ducks and then scored 30 seconds later to tie the game at two at the end of the 2nd period.
The 3rd period can be summed up in one word: wild. David Legwand scored for the Preds at 5:25 of the period to put Nashville up 3-2, but that wouldn't last very long. Matt Belesky fell to the ice and had the fortunate luck of a puck hitting off of him and getting past Pekka Rinne at 6:48 of the 3rd to tie the game at three. Then came the defining moment of the game, and possibly the series. Sergei Kostitsyn got the puck down low and made a beautiful backhand pass that was one-timed in by Mike Fisher. That gave the Preds a 4-3 lead that they would hold on to.
Things to take away from Game 3:
The crowd in Nashville was simply sensational. The building had so much energy in it, and gave the Predators a huge jump. It was truly a treat to be a part of.
Mike Fisher has taken his game to another level. It's at a level that has not been seen by any Nashville Predator player in the postseason history of the franchise. He's hungry to win.
Corey Perry is one of the dirtiest players I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. Like one Preds fan said while leaving the arena, "If I were playing, he wouldn't make it through the next game in one piece".
The Ducks may have missed Bobby Ryan, but it's clear that Teemu Selanne is the impact player for them. What he's able to do at the age of 40 is simply unnatural.
Nashville did what it was supposed to do. They won on home ice, and now have the chance to go up 3-1 in the series on home ice on Wednesday night for Game 4.

Hundreds of Palestinians protested across the West Bank on Friday in solidarity with prisoners on hunger strike, sparking clashes with Israeli forces.
Outside Israel's Ofer jail, near Ramallah, hundreds gathered in solidarity with Samer Issawi, who has been on hunger strike for 198 days, and Tareq Qaadan and Jaafar Azzidine who have refused food for 80 days.
Palestinian youths threw stones at Israeli forces, and soldiers attempted to push back the crowds, a Ma'an reporter said. Medics said 156 Palestinians were treated for tear gas inhalation.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said forces were responding to stone-throwing with riot dispersal means.
Palestinian MP Mustafa Barghouthi, Palestinian Knesset member Ahmad Tibi and Islamic Movement in Israel leader Shiekh Raed Salah attended Friday prayers outside the jail.
Barghouthi said around 1,000 Palestinians had gathered to show support to the Palestinians on hunger strike in Israeli jails.
Near Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, protesters raised Palestinian flags at the entrance to Efrat settlement.
Israeli forces assaulted journalists Samer Hamad, Ahmad Mizher and Ma'an cameraman Luai Sababa. Activists Moath al-Laham, Mahmud Alaa al-Din and Marwan Hamoud were also attacked by Israeli soldiers.
Clashes also erupted between demonstrators and Israeli forces at a protest in support of prisoners at Jalama checkpoint, in Jenin in the northern West Bank.
A Palestinian was hit by an Israeli military vehicle and then detained at the protest, a Ma'an reporter said. An Israeli military spokeswoman was not familiar with the incident but said 150 Palestinians were "rioting" at the checkpoint and hurling rocks at soldiers.
She said soldiers responded with riot dispersal means.
'Release all prisoners'
In al-Bireh, near Ramallah, President Mahmoud Abbas visited a solidarity tent to support the hunger strikers.
"As our dream of a state came true, I promise you the release all prisoners from the Israeli jails," the president said.
He called for previous agreements with Israel to be implemented regarding prisoners, and called on Arab countries to help pressure Israel.
The issue of prisoners is the most important part of the Palestinian cause, Abbas said.
Issawi, Qaadan and Azzidine are being held in administrative detention, without charge or trial, in Israel's Ramle prison.
Palestinian Authority Minister of Prisoner Affairs Issa Qaraqe warned Wednesday that the hunger strikes were "a countdown to disaster."
"We are living in very dangerous moments, and we expect that any one of the hunger strikers may die at any moment amid global silence," Qaraqe said at a meeting with UN officials in Ramallah.
