New Zealand's newest and most active volcano, Mt. Ngauruhoe in the Taupo Volcanic Zone, produced andesite flows in 1949 and 1954, and avalanche deposits in 1975. Potassium-argon "dating" of five of these flows and deposits yielded K-Ar model "ages" from <0.27Ma to 3.5±0.2 Ma. "Dates" could not be reproduced, even from splits of the same samples from the same flow, the explanation being variations in excess 40Ar* content. A survey of anomalous K-Ar "dates" indicates they are common, particularly in basalts, xenoliths, and xenocrysts such as diamonds that are regarded as coming from the upper mantle. In fact, it is now well established that there are large quantities of excess 40Ar* in the mantle, which in part represent primordial argon not produced by in situ radioactive decay of 40K and not yet outgassed. And there are mantle-crust domains between, and within, which argon circulates during global tectonic processes, magma genesis, and mixing of crustal materials. This has significant implications for the validity of K-Ar and 40Ar/39Ar "dating."

The last thing Lacy Green needs is trouble—and handsome Mayor Drake Randolph has "danger" written all over him . . . especially when "His Fineness" accidentally runs her off the road. Despite Drake's sensuous charm, irresistible magnetism, and unwavering determination to make amends, she's thinking it might be smart to play it safe and keep her distance . . . if only his lips weren't so inviting.
But trouble comes from a different source when Lacy, as the head of Detroit's Environmental Protection Department, launches an investigation into the activities of a ruthless developer. Suddenly, Lacy becomes a target, dragged down into a swamp of greed, corruption . . . and murder. Now Drake Randolph might be the only one in Motown who can keep Lacy alive . . .

Mass Effect 2 had a many-tentacled downloadable content plan befitting the game's sprawling sci-fi saga. It appears Mass Effect 3 will have a few more tentacles on top of that, as a product listing on the site of self-explanatory retailer Big Bad Toy Store has tied DLC for the game to the next wave of Mass Effect action figures.
According to the site, each of the four figures in the set will include a code that can be redeemed for multiplayer DLC for the Xbox 360 or PC versions of Mass Effect 3. The description notes that the codes "could…include character boosters, weapon modifications, and weapon upgrades to make your multiplayer squad stronger."
Set for release in the second quarter of the year, the Mass Effect 3 toys will include figures of Miranda, Mordin, Legion, and Garrus. Big Bad Toy Store has the suggested price of the set at $80, or $20 per figure. A BioWare representative had not responded to GameSpot's request for comment as of press time.

The most powerful magnetic objects in the universe - rare stars called magnetars - are created by the titanic explosions of very heavy stars, new research has revealed.
Observations of a gas bubble surrounding one magnetar showed astronomers that the star is 30 to 40 times the mass of the Sun. That puts it at the top end of the range of star sizes, and explains why magnetars - a type of neutron star - are so rare. Since the first discovery in 1998, astronomers have confirmed only 11 magnetars, most of them in our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
A neutron star is the usual product of a supernova - an exploding, collapsing star. Some neutron stars, called pulsars, spin at initial rates of up to 600 revolutions per second - eventually slowing to between 2 and 30 revolutions - and emit short bursts of radio waves on each turn.
But magnetars initially spin much faster - up to 1000 times per second - and emit gamma-ray flashes. The new work indicates that this rapid spin is the result of the massive size of the parent star. And it is this spin that creates their powerful magnetic fields - a million billion times stronger than Earth's. The magnetic field then acts as a brake on the spinning, slowing the star down to about one revolution every 5 to 10 seconds.
"We knew these things come from exploded stars," says Bryan Gaensler, an astrophysicist with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, Massachussetts, US, and lead author of the study. "But we normally have very little information about what the star was like when it exploded. It's like having a jigsaw with lots of the pieces missing and trying to work out what the original picture was."
Big bubble
Gaensler solved the puzzle by examining an expanding hydrogen gas bubble - similar to our Sun's solar wind - using the Australia Telescope Compact Array radio telescope and the 64-metre Parkes radio telescope, also in Australia. The bubble surrounds a magnetar called 1E 1048.1-5937, about 9000 light years from Earth in the constellation Carina.
"The surprising thing is how big this bubble is," Gaensler says. "It's huge. The Sun's bubble is a tiny fraction of a light year across. This thing is dozens of light years across."
The size and speed of the expanding bubble is related directly to the mass of the star before its collapse - the heavier the star, the bigger and faster the bubble. So Gaensler and colleagues determined that the mass of the original star had to be up to 40 times that of the Sun. Applying this data to the known range of solar masses, they were able to calculate that for every 10 pulsars created by supernovae, just one magnetar is created.
Gaensler's magnetar was relatively easy to observe, as there are few other large objects near it. However, massive stars usually exist in groups, which could make the study of other magnetars more challenging.
He says the magnetar he studied could have initially been part of a binary system, but when one of the stars exploded, it may have kicked the other off into space.

A. Brent Hinton, co-founder and vice chairman of PetFirst Healthcare LLC, and Katie Grant, CEO of PetFirst, pose with Franklin, Grant's dog. David Mann
The UpTake: People no longer identify themselves as pet owners so much as they embrace the idea of being "mommy" or "daddy" to their pets. And that's been a key part of the business model for PetFirst Healthcare, which provides pet health insurance products.
I s your pet your property? Or is it a member of the family?
Most people will say the latter. And that shift in ideology has been a boon for companies in the pet industry.
"(There is) this whole focus on 'pet parents,'" said A. Brent Hinton, co-founder and vice chairman of Jeffersonville, Ky.-based PetFirst Healthcare LLC, a provider of pet health insurance products. People no longer identify themselves as pet owners so much as they embrace the idea of being "mommy" or "daddy" to their pets, according to Hinton. He made the point that a kennel is no longer a concrete box behind a chain-link fence. Instead it's a cozy "spa" with its own TV and amenities.
For more news from Louisville Business First, check out David A. Mann's work.
Some of these changes in the way people see their pets came up as I recently was talking to Hinton and PetFirst CEO Katie Grant about how the pet health insurance industry has changed since their company was founded 10 years ago.
About 15 years ago, the pet insurance industry was a $20 million industry, Hinton said. It's now on its way to becoming a $1 billion industry. PetFirst alone had a gross revenue of $20 million last year.
The quick growth of PetFirst can be chalked up in part to a couple of factors. There's that aforementioned change in consumer attitudes about their pets. With that new perspective, Grant said, "the awareness of pet insurance has improved dramatically."
But it's not just our culture that has changed.
PetFirst also has grown as a result of the numerous relationships it has developed over the years. It works with employers, animal welfare agencies, veterinarians and retailers and with consumers directly. Its business is divided fairly evenly among those segments, Grant and Hinton said.
David A. Mann covers these beats: Health care, health insurance, distribution/logistics (UPS), manufacturing (GE, Ford), environment, travel, minority/women's affairs and Southern Indiana.

KANSAS CITY, Missouri -- Phillip Prince sat in his tractor-trailer, stuck on Interstate 40 near Groom, Texas, for hours.
Nine hours and four minutes, to be precise.
Prince and his co-driver were due in California at 1 p.m. Tuesday, where they were going to drop off 25,000 pounds of frozen pizza.
But they stumbled on what the National Weather Service is calling "a crippling, historic blizzard."
"It was pretty nasty when we first got into it," he said. "But then it turned into a whiteout."
Prince, who has been a long-haul driver for nine years, said in a submission to CNN's iReport he'd never seen it so bad. The line of trucks on the westbound side of the interstate was five to six miles long.
A day later, three people were dead, and 21 states and 45 million people were under some form of winter weather watch, warning or advisory.
Gobs of wet, heavy snow plopped to the ground in the Kansas City area along the Kansas and Missouri border.
The piling snow snapped tree branches, brought down power lines and made it tough for snow plows and utility crews to keep up. Power outages doubled to 25,000 before dawn, Kansas City Power and Light said. Most flights out of Kansas City International Airport were canceled.
It was the second major winter storm to pummel the region in as many weeks, and it could bring up to 18 inches of snow to parts of Kansas, Missouri and Illinois a day after plastering Oklahoma and Texas. Winter storm watches and warnings stretched from Oklahoma to Michigan.
"Schools are closed, and I don't think there's a snow shovel in place in the area to be found," said Sly James, the mayor of Kansas City, Missouri.
The Kansas National Guard warned that continued snowfall and gusty winds would make travel tricky through Wednesday.
In Woodward, Oklahoma, emergency vehicles were still having trouble getting around Tuesday, a day after the storm dropped more than 15 inches of snow.
Crews dispatched to a house fire Monday had trouble reaching the home because of 4-foot snowdrifts. The snowplow sent to free the firefighters also got stuck. Even Tuesday, emergency vehicles still were having a tough time getting around.
"We're in such a mess," Woodward Mayor Roscoe Hill said.
At least three people have died because of the storm: one in Woodward when a roof collapsed, Hill said.
The other two deaths came in Kansas on Monday in separate weather-related accidents on Interstate 70. One accident happened in Sherman County and the other in Ellis County, the Kansas National Guard said.

January Jones Is a Redhead! Hot or Not? (PHOTO)
For years, January Jones has been known as the petite and very blond Betty Draper (wife of Don) on Mad Men, but after the advertising lothario and his seemingly perfect wife divorced last season, Betty started to ditch the ideal housewife image and her looks underwent a drastic change.
While Betty gained weight to accommodate January's real-life pregnancy, the character kept on the pounds, while the actress shed them. Now, January is distancing herself even more from Betty's look.
January was spotted walking with her young son Xander in L.A. on June 18, but instead of her traditional sun-kissed locks, Jones stepped out with a full head of red hair.
At first we were a bit apprehensive about Jones's new 'do, but her strawberry tresses are really starting to grow on us. Baby Xander seems to like them, too!
Are you a fan of January's venture to the ginger side? Sound off below!

Radiant heat provides you with a level of comfort that no other heating system can match. In forced air homes, overheated air rises to the ceiling, leaving the floor area too cool. With radiant heat, the area near the floor is comfortable, and the ceiling temperatures are reduced. Radiant heat also eliminates the heat loss you get with forced air systems, so you won't have rooms that are too hot or too cold. Every room in your home will be just the right temperature.
Forced air heat blows dust and allergens all around your house. (take a look at your furnace filter!) Radiant heat provides warmth without moving the air around. Your home is cleaner and healthier.
A radiant floor works by conducting heat from water in a tube to the surface of your floor, which releases that heat into your home. Radiant heating can be used with hardwood, stone, tile and carpeted floors.
Electric radiant heat is used for smaller areas, and hydronic (water) radiant heat is used for larger areas, and areas with a lot of glass.
Radiant Heat can also be used for heated patios, to help you enjoy your patio year-round.

The Field & Stream Total Outdoorsman Challenge continues today from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Manteca's Bass Pro Shops.
Scenes from opening day action of the MASL season at Woodward Park.
Opening day is always special to me. Each year my primary goal is to fish all day and see no other anglers. When you consider that over two million Californians buy trout stamps and that most of them are out fishing opening day, you can appreciate my goal. In the last ten years I've only had one opening day that I've seen anyone else astream. My secondary opening goal is to catch fish. One opening day I caught no trout at all and on another, I caught only four.
Australian Will Power continues his early domination of the 2010 Izod IndyCar Series by capturing his third consecutive pole in Saturday's qualifying season for today's 36th Annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.
Ninety years ago, on April 12, 1920, Manteca started the ball season right by winning the first game they played. The game was with Escalon and while this team is not a member of the league, it is a good fast team and has won all the games played this season before this game. A large crowd turned out and cheered lustily. The score at the close stood 7 to 2 in favor of the home boys. Elmer Blodgett started off right, pitching a first class game. He pitched all of last season and was a big factor in winning ...

Scenes from adult league basketball
After getting blanked by the Tigers 3-0 last Thursday, the Spreckels Park major division A's rebounded from their first loss of the Little League season with an 11-0 shelling of the Angels Saturday at Brock Elliot School.
The Dodgers relied on five runs in the first inning to take control of the game against the Yankees to eventually claim a 19-6 minor division victory in Northgate Little League play.
I don't know many bass fishermen that aren't excited about going fishing with the weather we've been having this week. All the lakes and rivers should have fish up shallow either spawning or looking to spawn. The hardest decision I have, is deciding where I want to fish! We're truly lucky to live around so many great fisheries. Last month while sitting in Jiffy Lube I overheard two gentlemen talking about fishing and living in Manteca. They both agreed that there are very few places that offer great weather and great fishing like the central valley ...
Eighty years ago, on April 4, 1930, the Hughson Union High nine nosed out the local Manteca High Buffaloes and won the third C.I.F. game of the season by a 12 to 11 game in Hughson. The Hughson boys were hitting the ball quite regularly, getting six runs off Fred Theiler and six off Joe Abreu, who pitched for the Mantecans. They pitched fairly good ball but were given little support in the field. In the sixth frame, the Mantecans started a rally and scored eight runs before they could be stopped. Theiler and Joe Bettencourt got three ...
I told a former student that it's important to be passionate about something other than your career, so in case work goes bad, or the exuberance with which you jumped into said career wanes, you're not left with nothing.
SALIDA - Despite committing four errors Friday, Manteca still has yet to give up a run in the District 67 Senior All-Star Tournament, as it shut out Weston Ranch 9-0 at Salida Elementary School and advanced to the championship round.
SALIDA - Spreckels Park bounced back from an opening-round loss in the District 67 Senior All-Star Tournament and defeated Tracy-American 11-2 in a consolation contest Thursday at Salida Elementary School.
SALIDA – Manteca jumped out to a hot start Monday and Spreckels Park could not even respond with a hit as Devin Sullivan pitched a no-hitter for Manteca in a 9-0 win to begin the District 67 Senior All-Star Tournament at Salida Elementary School.
FRESNO - Five members of the Lancer Youth Wrestling Club added new items to the trophy case for their efforts in the California USA Wrestling Freestyle State Championships June 5-7 at Selland Arena.
Manteca Bowl & Family Fun Center
A phenomenal pitching performance by Jacob Martinez coupled with nine errors by the Weston Ranch Brewers that give the Spreckels Park Little League Tigers a 10-0, four-inning win Monday in major District 67 Tournament of Champions consolation action at Lincoln Park.
Manteca Bowl & Family Fun Center
Hayden Beier broke a Manteca Dolphins team record that was days away from lasting five full years in a Mid-Valley Swim League meet Saturday at Lathrop High.
The Giants sent the top-seeded Pirates to the consolation bracket of the Northgate Little League junior-division playoffs behind a big fifth inning with a convincing 12-3 win Monday at Morenzone Field.

(NOTE: when I keep saying "MAT" I'm meaning, say, the JPEG that contains M4s arms, legs and nails, etc)
To clear up any confusion, in the future you may wish to refer to the image file with the arms, legs etc as an image map, or map. It's built using the model's UV map and shading domains. The mat files you mention are Poser material files and contain references to the image maps and shading domains. I know it sounds like a matter of semantics, but they are different and depending on how you interchange the terms can be confusing to people trying to help.

Welcome to the Frank Longo Lab
Research interests
Our research team is focused on the discovery of cellular signaling mechanisms that serve as a basis for the development of therapeutic approaches for Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease and other neurological disorders. In the lab's Neurotrophin Program, we pioneered the development of small molecule ligands targeted to neurotrophin receptors to promote novel signaling mechanisms. Small molecule-induced modulation of these mechanisms demonstrates therapeutic efficacy in models of Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, Rett syndrome and Down's syndrome. These novel compounds also stimulate stem cells to promote the formation of new neurons. One of our compounds is currently under development for anticipated human trials.
In the lab's Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Program we have discovered a number of the fundamental roles of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) receptors by focusing on LAR, a prototype PTP receptor that we found to be present in the nervous system. Our team demonstrated the first CNS and PNS phenotypes in PTP receptor mutant mice, discovered PTP domains responsible for neurite promoting effects, found that LAR regulates Trk neurotrophin receptors, and showed that down-regulating LAR promotes stem cell proliferation and neurogenesis. We have also created a novel approach for modulating PTP receptor activity that shows promise in models of spinal cord regeneration and brain tumor therapy.

The roundup of thousands of Jews in Paris during World War II was a crime "committed in France, by France," French President Francois Hollande said.
Hollande was speaking Sunday at a ceremony to mark the 70th anniversary of the largest French roundup of Jews.
Some 13,000 French Jews were deported on July 16-17, 1942 from the Winter Velodrome stadium to Auschwitz, where nearly all of them were killed.
"Not one German soldier, not one was mobilized during this entire operation," Hollande said.
Hollande also remembered the murder in March of three Jewish students and a rabbi at a Jewish school in Toulouse.
Some 76,000 French adults and children were deported to Nazi death camps during World War II; approximately 2,500 survived.

Not sick of hearing about TITANFALL just sick of waiting lol
Microsoft paid for the PotY title! I know because PotY used to be clients in my previous employment. Their business model is actually a neat marketing trick;
1 - companies are invited to submit product(s) for the 'award'.
2 - each submitted product has to pay PotY for entry into the consumer survey - and for every stage there after. So if you don't submit and pay, your product is not considered (Sony, Nintendo etc) and therefore your product could be the only entry in a given category.
3 - with nothing to compare against in that category, the Xbox would have 'won' by default. Sony, Nintendo etc may have entered but I doubt it?!
4 - Microsoft pay PotY more money to actually 'win' the 'award' and for use of the PotY logo (which apparently drives up sales through consumer confidence).
5 - as a result of all this, Microsoft get to boast about an award for the Xbox One (albeit an expensive one) and PotY get free advertising on Microsoft merchandising.
So winning PotY doesn't mean anything. It's basically paying for a logo to help boost consumer confidence in a particular product in the hope it will drive up sales.
o.. and who else thinks this will be the Feedbackula topic this week? *raises hand*
Product of the Year... my ass! Who was the runner up? Skittles? or maybe that sweet new hoover bagless vacuum?...they definitely didn't include the PS4 in the lineup
Hate Hate Hate Hate... Geeze come one guys its not that serious!
This isn't the award for best selling console, or even best console. It's product of the year, which could have any manner of criteria. The XBox one does do some innovative things. Nothing anybody wants, but nonetheless it does them lol.
one game and its best product of the year. cow pat.
Get carried away much? The X1 is PoS of the year!
Jess, you are one sexy thing!! For the 1st time in my life I'm in love. Don't tell that to my wife. I'll be in the dog house.. Lol
But for you Jess I'll be in the dog house all year.
Let me holla at you?
Is it really Product of the year award?
not the LoL of the year award?
ps4 doubles sells......and xbox wins.....
@CPTCUDDLES LOL of the year~
hell ya xbone will get best product! microsoft gives the award....
1. Doesn't PS4 have twitch already? When the hell are they going to put their new console owners first? Geez this is sad....
2. Well for me it's all according. Am I getting more or less for double the space. As pathetic as M$ been to their fans I will sit and wait and not start crying foul just yet. For Cripes sake there is enough reason already without Titanload er fall.. =)
3. Completely unfair. No one can call it this early. Just sounds desparate. Gods damn M$ did you have sex with Satan and spawn EA games because sure as hell looks as if they got their PR stupidity from you guys....
4. Take 2 and 3 into account then yeah absolutely they sounding desparate. With their bad PR who wouldn't make that move?
Pathetic the fan base is likely the most intelligent people involved in Xbox One... not it's developers....sigh....
@Kinguard73 PS4 has a half baked version of Twitch. It's extremely limited compared to the Xbox One's version. Just because it's on there doesn't mean it's good.
How MS even managed to sell that system to anyone will forever be a mystery to me. I wouldn't play it even if I got it for free... I'd sell it on ebay!
The PlayStation 3 launched on November 17, 2006, and the 60GB models were sold for the scandalous price of $600
What a joke of a survey. No information on other products surveyed, how it was conducted, why it was conducted 2 months into the year, etc. Sounds like complete B.S.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the 40,000 people surveyed wasn't just the entire MS staff :P
I am buying my xbox one from the United Kingdom and getting it shipped over and also going to get the ps4 as well so I will have both systems.
@azwildcats585 Well least you only wasted 500 dollars for a couple of exclusives that apparently will also be on PC grats.
The X1 was way over priced in the UK, and you could reasonably argue it still is considering currency exchange rates.
X1 is an engineering feat. Whether it impresses consumers, that is another matter altogether. Lots of interesting and even good products fail.
All you people trashing Xbone......give me some actual reasons. For Launch games the lineup was not bad at all. They play all the third party games just as good as PS4 and look amazing. It has some hiccups but nothing major. Everyone gives the kinect hell, but many of you people trashing it are the ones who love "game videos". You can already record podcast type videos with the kinect and post all over the internet via the skydrive. With PS4 the seperate eyecam must be bought. It's a pretty damn sweet product for me overall so far.
@dbene 1. DRM they backtracked on tried to take your rights as owners of your games away.
2. The requited extra 100 dollars for a doorstop er Kinect most could have done without and is still mostly worthless except as a NSA spybot.
3. You paid 100 dollars more for a system proven to be weaker then it's competitor.
4. They continually insults most of their consumers intelligence by making excuses at recent statements/press releases (except you apparently)
You want to be used that is fine for me and my crew? It's PS4. If I knew where you lived I'd have sent some K-Y for future M$ 'love'.
@dbene ya....but it doesnt play games just as good as ps4....anybody that thinks it does is absolutely clueless...you probly think obamacare is good for America, you idiot.
@CPTCUDDLES @dbeneUniversal healthcare is always good. The must buy Kinect and the Xbone under performing on graphics are bad. Calling someone an idiot for having an opinion he backs up is not necessary. I am most likely moving from 360 to a PS4 in the near future for @dbene's legit reasons and the option of playing some mmo's on console,
Jess, you are really really really annoying.
@furrionn I you are not trolling, then don't watch.
She is just fine. I like her just fine.
I love buying tangible games only to have them downloaded and installed to my hard-drive, don't you? 40 gigs? So if I get my midnight release version, I'll be lucky to play it by 3 a.m. Why just a price cut in the UK? UK must be really special to MS or something.
@Pheonix985 British money is worth more than American money so they are still paying more.
@Pheonix985 they would have to cut the price by another 100 pounds just to get it down to the price of the console in the US.
@Pheonix985 Games on Xbox One become playable when they are around 5% installed, therefore you can play the game without interference as it finishes installing.
Jess looks super cute in red
Nice tempo and energy today Jess, nicely done.
The Titanfall install "debate" intrigues me as it's a dust-up over non-news. 40GB is a large install but as others have pointed out, that's the digital (as in no optical disc) one. This includes not only the core game but all of the data assets as well. Such data assets include textures and level data, etc.
With the disc-based install, the core game (think executable and data that always needs to be loaded) assets are loaded on the console but level data can remain on the disc. Hence the smaller 20GB install footprint in that case. This is in line with other games.
That all being said, why is this size such an issue and a surprise? We're always clamoring for more functionality, better AI, more-better graphics and such. No offense folks, that's going to result in a larger install footprint.
The reaction to the X1 price reduction amuses me as well. From day one folks have been sniping MS for their price point. So, MS now announces a price reduction and folks are bitching and ridiculing MS about that. I especially love the fact that some individuals are stating that it means that MS is in dire financial straights. (Seriously? MS has a huge market share in the business software world. Also, they're making almost as much money off of their Android-related patents.)
With the X1, MS has a large margin with the original price and therefore has room to work the price and still make a nice profit off of each unit sold. By the six-month point I wouldn't be surprised to see that the price is a little less than the cost of a PS4/Eye bundle. At that point they can claim "price-parity".
@TimberWolf_CLT With 160+ GB of space on the hard drive unavailable, right out of the gate you're looking at fairly limited space. If someone prefers digital versions and Titanfall is an average size, that's less than ten games that can fit on the hard drive!
Personally I have a 60GB fat PS3 and have juggled my library for years, deleting installs on games I've finished and won't come back to for a while to make room for the new. It's not a crisis, but in the world of hard drives 500GB is nothing, so to go with that size for a console expected to last beyond the end of the decade is inexcusable. I guarantee the first revamped models will have at least twice as much space. Ultimately early adopters are getting punished again.
If the price of the Xbox One, with or without Kinect, was the same as the PS4, I'd probably not even look at the PS4 to be honest.
I've loved Xbox since the original. I don't have anything against Playstation per say but I do like my Xbox's.
People saying you pay more for less is crap, you don't pay more for less, you pay more for more. But it all depends on whether the more on offer is something you want.
If they didn't bundle the Kinect I wouldn't touch it. But Microsoft have integrated it into the console. Whether we like it or not, that is what they have done. If it drops their sales as a result that is a lesson learned by them.
The rest of us will be preoccupied playing our PS4s instead while they sort it out.
@Dannystaples14 People are saying you get less for more because many don't want the white elephant kinect and the x1's graphics & memory architecture is inferior to the PS4: unbelievably given 360's superiority over PS3 was largely due to its unified memory! Anyway once they dump the kinect i'm sure the X1 will do fine, imo.
@dbene @Dannystaples14There are already webcams and lots of people upload videos of gaming. Kinect has about as much utility today as an iPod. Bottom line, no one can name a single good game based around Kinect, it's a forced $100 peripheral for a system that treats gaming as a footnote.
@dbene @Dannystaples14niether can i, xbone works find if you unplug kinet. and kinet defo has its advantages. the media side of things is great xbox pause xbox play etc works everytime when watching a blueray or dvd etc (alltho barely responds during games
@youre_a_sheep @dbene@Dannystaples14its part of their system, they choose to include it. its not forced, microsoft is not holding a gun to your head and forcing you to buy an xbone The gaming aspect of kinect maybe over stated but now streaming on twitch is in xbone users have a 1080p camera to play with. skype is awsome with kinect. pausing tv with a command is awsome. snapping your tv to watch the football mid game is awsome
bottom line is kinect is not forced on you, you dont have to buy xbone. its just part of there product
@youre_a_sheep @dbene @Dannystaples14
yes it's not forced and it's very handy if you never even want to use it for a game. All of these people who want to make game videos for PS4 now have to go buy a cam if they want to be included on screen. It's great to be built in, IMO and not optional. Also great for Skype and MUCH better than a normal webcam. Absoultely can't see how the $100 is such a breaking point when people shell all kinds of money for DLC and in game transactions for crap all the time.
@dbene I don't hate it I just don't particularly want one.
@xeis-net Also the memory on the Xbox One is FASTER, than on the PS4, it is just it isn't as common a memory type for developers to use.
The wanted to use eSRAM so they can utilise tiled resources more effectively for DX11.2. eSRAM is a hell of a lot better at that job than GDDR5. The only issue is if developers can be bothered to utilise it.
Microsoft actually had a long term plan. Sony just brought out a more powerful PS3 and will be now be trying to think of better things to do on the console while Microsoft are putting their own new plans into action because they have actual ideas at hand already.
@dbene @Dannystaples14 Most hate you can blame on change,people hate change, and the fact that the first Kinect sucked so naturally dumbasses presume this one sucks to.
@youre_a_sheep @dbene @Dannystaples14 Ok, then explain why the xbox has the better line up in games, if Ps4 is so much better at gaming why no games, lmao, dust collector.
@Dannystaples14 Yup just keep telling yourself that, it makes it more bearable.
We already get many great games for free on playstation plus,more new exclusives coming up and better versions of multiplat games. Also look at the exclusive games overall on the ps3 and 360. Playstation 4 is a no brainer for gamers.
@Dannystaples14 @xeis-net Ps4 is not a more powerful Ps3, because the 3 can do more things like play music,Ps4 is a step back in my opinion.
@xeis-net The graphics are identical. The resolution is higher.
The graphics that actually matter are the same. I bet if you were to take a side by side video of Xbox One and PS4 and lock the video at 720p you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Graphics is more than just the number of pixels.
Can't understand the hate for Kinect. So far ... my use of it is not groundbreaking but really neat. Also great to have a fully functional audio and video camera built in for game videos (and really any other video making) once youtube sharing is implemented.
@shina777 I will. Have you seen how shit the textures are in COD MW1? I played that game for months and months. It never bothered me then. And it still doesn't now.
Which would be fine if the textures were terrible in this game but they aren't that are they?
Anything that improves on last gen is fine by me. Otherwise I'd just buy a PC.

Southbound Highway 52 at Plato Boulevard in St. Paul has reopened as of 2:30 p.m. Monday more than two hours after a semi overturned, losing its load.
The accident happened at 11:50 a.m., when a semi trailer tipped on its side on the right shoulder and its load of recycling debris spilled out, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
At one point, the road was closed completely, but authorities reopened one lane shortly after closing the highway, MnDOT says.
The condition of the driver is not known at this time.

The Nigerian community in the United States has thrown its weight behind President Barrack Obama's call on the Congress to urgently and totally overhaul what he described as 'a out of date and badly broken' United States Immigration Law and System.
Reacting in a press release released to our correspondent on Wednesday by Mr. Franklin Ekechukwu, Director of Region 2 of the Nigerians In Diaspora Organisation in America (NIDOA), the Nigerian community maintained that it stands with the President of the United States on pushing for the total overhaul US immigration law and system.
"Although we completely agree with the proposal, we wish to bring to the notice of our president and our representatives in the congress that this issue is a universal issue, it is not a Hispanic or Asian issue it is also an African issue"
"We note this with great concern that whenever this issue is presented, a particular community is in the fore front of the discussion, and we have over a million Africans who are either illegal or are students who are about to graduate and will soon be out of status but wishes to remain in the country, they are the best in what they do or studied and are great assets to the continuous progress of the United states of America and their communities, we also note with dismay that in the US congress the African community is not represented on this issue by any caucus whatsoever, as there exists an Asian caucus and Hispanic caucus" the press released reads in parts.
The Nigerian group also said that America was not only built by the Asian and Hispanic immigrants alone but also by African Immigrants who have paid dearly for the current generation of Africans, stressing that the current US President is the son of an African Immigrant.
The statement also reads: "Hence, we call on the President and the US congress to work assiduously in constituting an African Immigrant caucus in the congress. This will give a voice to the voiceless and make this conversation a universal affair, and we wish to reiterate here that "justice is the first principle of immigration".
NIDOA also called on all African immigrants to an immigration forum at the Nigerian Embassy in Washington DC on the 23rd of February, 2013 for a discussion on the United States Immigration Law.
"As we all work together in support of the US president on this issue and proposal, we should all bear in mind that together we can break any glass ceiling or doors mitigating our path to economic, social and political independence in the US. A divided and united community remains unknown, un-talked about, unseen and practically irrelevant in the scheme of things" now is our time and together we will take control of our combined destiny" it concluded.
It would be recalled that President Obama, Tuesday night, urged Congress to seize political momentum and act quickly on a comprehensive overhaul of the nation's immigration laws that would include a pathway to citizenship for the nation's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants.
"We can't allow immigration reform to get bogged down in an endless debate," Obama said in an address in Nevada, a state where Hispanic voters have shown their muscle. "We've been debating this for a long time."
Obama has said his biggest first-term failure was not getting comprehensive immigration reform done, and the White House has since pushed the issue to the forefront of his second-term agenda.
