The Amazing Cultural Gulf Between Young and Old
As the latest freshman class prepares to enter college at this time each year, Beloit College issues its annual Mindset List which, as stated on the website, gives us "a look at the cultural touchstones that shape the lives of students entering college this fall."
The school has been doing the list for about 15 years and I never tire of it. Never tire of being reminded, at my age (now 71), of the enormous gulf of experience between me and 18-year-old students.
Beloit's introduction to this year's list tells us that the class of 2016, most born in 1994,
"...are probably the most tribal generation in history and they despise being separated from contact with friends. They prefer to watch television everywhere except on a television, have seen a woman lead the U.S. State Department for most of their lives, and can carry school books - those that are not on their e-readers - in backpacks that roll.
"[They have] spent much of their lives helping their parents understand that you don't take pictures on 'film' and that CDs and DVDs are not 'tapes'...In these students' lifetimes, with MP3 players and iPods, they seldom listen to the car radio. A quarter of the entering students already have suffered some hearing loss...
"They have never needed an actual airline 'ticket,' a set of bound encyclopedias, or Romper Room.
Each year a few of the items baffle me ("Billy Graham is as familiar to them as Otto Graham was to their parents."). There are always too many sports references, and several always feel like filler with no useful impact ("Little Caesar has always been proclaiming 'Pizza Pizza.'")
Even so, some of the list is thought-provoking – for a few minutes, anyway. Don't make too big a deal of this.
Here are a few items that are noteworthy - even, in a couple of cases, mildly shocking to me:
• The Biblical sources of terms such as "Forbidden Fruit," "The writing on the wall," "Good Samaritan," and "The Promised Land" are unknown to most of them.
• The paradox "too big to fail" has been, for their generation, what "we had to destroy the village in order to save it" was for their grandparents'.
• Exposed bra straps have always been a fashion statement, not a wardrobe malfunction to be corrected quietly by well-meaning friends.
• Star Wars has always been just a film, not a defense strategy.
• While the iconic TV series for their older siblings was the sci-fi show Lost, for them it's Breaking Bad, a gritty crime story motivated by desperate economic circumstances.
• They have no recollection of when Arianna Huffington was a conservative.
• Two-thirds of the independent bookstores in the United States have closed for good during their lifetimes.
You can read the entire 2012 Mindset List at the Beloit College website.
(Hat tip to Steve Kemp for reminding me of the list.)

I still think bare bra straps are an error. LOL
Fascinating stuff. Thank you
I'm with Mage on the bra straps!
I've also noted that my young women co-workers are in a phase in which they wear skirts and tops that look to me like rags. I probably look to them like a decently dressed old butch -- which I am. Different strokes.
Now I know why I can't talk to my teenage granddaughters anymore. ;-)
They don't actually roll their eyes when I speak, but the look on their faces tells me that we don't communicate well. Maybe it's because I don't speak in text message language.
And they don't give a good gosh darn when Arianna was a Republican. In fact, they don't even know who she is.
Worth a glance. These markers of generational change have been noted as long as people have written things down. A hundred fifty years ago, the in-crowd referred to a big event as a "sockdollager," and the first telegraph wire was strung between the east and west coasts. Tempus fugit.
I just spoke with my 6-year-old grandson on the phone (cell phones). First he told me about the 5 week old kitten who can "run 2 miles an hour - almost as fast as me" then told me with great excitement about playing a computer race game with his 11 year-old cousin on DSM and he has his own car, a Jaguar! Okey...
One old time phrase that sets us apart is when some of us say "turn the channel" versus "change the channel". The generational changes are marked. I can remember my grandmother, a Nebraska plains woman, sitting in our living room singing the "Buffalo Girls Song". My wife's grandmother, from Russia, was complaining to me about the Bolsheviks back in 1982. Time and technology changes everything but I sometimes wonder if the changing physical universe also exerts its influences on our thinking, one generation to the next, compounded over time.
I find the tribal description most interesting, and find myself wondering how this may affect the political and military future of the U.S.
Thanks Ronni, very interesting list and following comments so far. I especially like the part about DVD's being called tapes, that never gets old! :) I feel for comment above [Marc] and any other 60+ trying to connect to grandkids, it is not fair, and even myself at 31 would feel slightly sick to my stomach hearing a 6-year old highlight his day with video game achievements and sweet YouTube videos. Somebody please give me some hope! I have a 10-month old and I want to raise her in uninhabited Alaska, our last frontier! ;)
CORRECTION: I meant to sympathize with Marian's comment above, sorry Marc, yours was good too. :)
I get discouraged, too, about our grandchildren's electronic world taking away their awareness of nature and the world around them...and then something like this happens: my 5-year-old great-granddaughter developed a passion for astronomy at least 2 years ago, aided and abetted by my grandson taking her outdoors at night to study the stars, just as my daddy did with me 75 years ago. All is not lost, although I want to tell kids with gadgets stuck in their ears to look around, listen to the birds, and be in this world.
I had forgotten about this list which is always fun and illuminating to read -- especially the items with communication implications.
I remember when A. Huffington came to our community to try and catapult her then husband into being our Calif. Governor. She was so obviously the candidate. He didn't win, thank heavens. Have wondered if she was always a Republican, or had a change of view, but have never bothered to take the time to research what she may have said about that change.
I'm having a difficult time writing here, 'cause every time I start to comment on something, I think, "Gee, that's a topic I want to write about on my blog." Oh, well! Glad you remembered to post on this.
If the young male teens can expose their underwear to some level (droopy shorts) I'm guessing the young females feel that exposed bra straps are along the same "fashion" guidelines.

Donovanosis, also known as granuloma inguinale, is a bacterial disease that has reached endemic proportions in many underdeveloped regions. Because of the scarcity of medical treatment, the disease often goes untreated. The disease is characterized by painless genital ulcers which can be mistaken for syphilis. However, they ultimately progress to destruction of internal and external tissue, with leakage of mucus and blood. The destructive nature of donovanosis also increases the risk of superinfection by other pathogenic microbes.
The causative organism, Klebsiella granulomatis, used to be called Calymmatobacterium granulomatis (some source still use this classification), from the Greek kalymma (a hood or veil), referring to the lesions that contain the bacteria. Prior to this it was called Donovania granulomatis, named after the Donovan Bodies. The species name granulomatis refers to the granulomatous lesions. The organism was recently reclassified under the genus Klebsiella, a drastic taxonomic change, since it involved changing the organism's phylum. However, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques using a colorimetric detection system showed a 99% similarity with other species in the Klebsiella genus.
Small, painless nodules appear after about 10–40 days of the contact with the bacteria. Later the nodules burst, creating open, fleshy, oozing lesions. The infection spreads, mutilating the infected tissue. The infection will continue to destroy the tissue until treated. The lesions occur at the region of contact typically found on the shaft of the penis, the labia, or the perianal region. Rarely, the vaginal wall or cervix is the site of the lesion.

Gray Box Testing
Grey box testing is the combination of black box and white box testing. Intention of this testing is to find out defects related to bad design or bad implementation of the system.
In gray box testing, test engineer is equipped with the knowledge of system and designs test cases or test data based on system knowledge.
For example, consider a hypothetical case wherein you have to test a web application. Functionality of this web application is very simple, you just need to enter your personal details like email and field of interest on the web form and submit this form. Server will get this details, and based on the field of interest pick some articles and mail it to the given email. Email validation is happening at the client side using Java Scripts.
In this case, in the absence of implementation detail, you might test web form with valid/invalid mail IDs and different field of interests to make sure that functionality is intact.
But, if you know the implementation detail, you know that system is making following assumptions
- Server will never get invalid mail ID
- Server will never send mail to invalid ID
- Server will never receive failure notification for this mail.
So as part of gray box testing, in the above example you will have a test case on clients where Java Scripts are disabled. It could happen due to any reason and if it happens, validation can not happen at the client site. In this case, assumptions made by the system are violated and
- Server will get invalid mail ID
- Server will send mail to invalid mail ID
- Server will receive failure notification
Hope you understood the concept of gray box testing and how it can be used to create different test cases or data points based on the implementation details of the system.

In my brain's recess, playing kickball with plans to save more money, I wondered how to potty train Craig. I consulted Google, my coparent and digital spouse, and found videos and books. You got your timelines, and you got your theories. Instead, I called Craig into my room and asked him if he wanted to wear chonies, the kids' Spanish slang for underwear. He was thrilled.
"I'm going to wear chonies! I'm going to wear chonies!"
He ran around showing them to his siblings. It had never occurred to me to try earlier. He did great with a few exceptions, like the puddle in between his feet that a lady at the haircutting salon noticed as he was about to climb into the chair.
I often arrived early to pick him up from preschool and watched him outside playing with children, trying to figure out if he'd become a Republican — "That's my toy!" — or a Democrat — "Here, Billy, you can have Tom's toy." Craig loved to sing. On the drive to school, we took turns picking songs. Adriana's favorite was "She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain." At the end, she added, "We'll be eating chicken nuggets when she comes." Javier's favorite was "This Land Is Your Land." Craig had two favorites. The first was "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." His other one, learned at school or made up — who knew? — he called "Our Thankful Song." We sang it before dinner. "We are thankful, we are thankful, for our food, for our food …"
After spending time with Craig, I discovered that his intellectual challenges were temporary. He learned to sing, count, and write his name. Like every new parent, I imagined if I exposed him to music, he'd be a prodigy, and we'd have recitals for a select group of people, but nothing too exploitive, of course, because he was just a child. I began Craig's music training in the Land Rover, driving from preschool to pick up Adriana and Javier at the YMCA after-school program. We started with the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." As an example of beat, I moved my right hand up and down and left and right. It was a compact lesson on an important topic. As we drove, I complimented myself. This was what separated me from the other men out there adopting three siblings. How many parents taught music while driving to the YMCA? The next song, "She's a Rainbow," was a symphony for piano. My hand moved like a wand. Craig was mesmerized. We finished with "Wild Horses":
Childhood living it's easy to do.
The things you wanted
I bought them for you.
"Daddy," he said. Did he want a piano? I'd buy a little one with a mushroom stool. Maybe he wanted a violin. "Daddy," he said again.
"Yes, love."
"Does Tarzan live in the jungle?"
I took a deep breath and made a note to not share any of my ingenious child-raising strategies without peer review in a respected journal or at least an indication that my children were listening.
"Yes," I said. "He lives in the jungle. He lives with apes. He's in foster."

Most cold sores heal on their own without prescription medicines. But some antiviral medicines (such as acyclovir or famciclovir) when taken orally (tablets) may
be helpful in reducing the frequency and severity of attacks of
cold sores.1
Doctors may prescribe oral antiviral medicines that
can be taken daily to prevent future outbreaks of cold sores. These medicines
may also be given during periods of increased risk of getting cold sores
(such as during cosmetic surgery or sun exposure).
Oral antivirals work best in treating recurring cold sores
if they are taken within 24 to 48 hours of an outbreak of cold
Pregnant or nursing women should seek their doctors' advice prior to
taking antiviral medicines. Those with kidney problems may be advised to take
lower doses.
Some examples of oral antiviral medicines prescribed to treat cold
sores include the following:
Acyclovir (Zovirax) tablets may slightly shorten the duration of pain and the healing time of a first attack of cold sores.1
Common side effects of acyclovir tablets include nausea, diarrhea, and headache.
A lower dose of oral acyclovir is needed for people who have
reduced kidney function.
Famciclovir (Famvir) is sometimes used to treat the herpes virus that causes
cold sores and genital herpes (as well as the virus that causes shingles). This medicine is available only by
prescription and is taken orally in tablet form.
If you are pregnant or nursing, you should talk with your doctor
before taking famciclovir.
This medicine is not recommended for people who have had an
allergic reaction to it in the past.
Possible mild side effects include itching, fever, headache,
fatigue, nausea, or diarrhea.
Valacyclovir (Valtrex) capsules are available by prescription only.
Valacyclovir was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a
1-day treatment to reduce cold sore duration in people 12 years and
older.2 It is absorbed by the body much better than
some other antiviral medicines (such as acyclovir).
Possible side effects include skin rash,
allergic reaction, headache, dizziness,
insomnia, and
Children, pregnant women, and people who have HIV or who have had
bone marrow or kidney transplants should talk with their doctors before taking
this medicine.

Palm Treo Pro will sport the company trademark square touchscreen display with a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels. All four GSM and three UMTS bands are covered, which makes the phone good for worldwide roaming. HSDPA is also on board to boost data transfer speed over 3G networks.
The Palm Treo Pro runs on Windows Mobile Professional 6.1 and is powered by a 400 MHZ Qualcomm CPU. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB connectivity are all on board, and so is a microSD card slot handling cards up to 32 GB (when those are one day available, of course). Some of the other features of the new Treo include built-in GPS, a 2 megapixel camera and a 3.5mm standard audio jack.
The amount of user memory on the Palm Treo Pro is up to 100 MB, while the RAM is 128MB. The whole thing will feed on a huge 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery.
Palm Treo Pro is expected to hit the shelves in Europe in September at about 375 euro (549 US dollars) before taxes or subsides. The Treo Pro availability will then expand to other markets worldwide.

HIV could have a hitherto undiscovered Achilles heel, according to British researchers. It might be possible, they say, to develop a vaccine that helps the immune system nip HIV infection in the bud. Nevertheless, the development of such a vaccine is still a long way off.
Most AIDS researchers have assumed that from the word go, HIV multiplies in white blood cells inside any of the body's lymph nodes. But a team at the National Institute of Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) in Hertfordshire has discovered that the SIV retrovirus, which causes AIDS in monkeys, sets up an infection in the lymph nodes of the gut before it spreads elsewhere. The researchers hope to design vaccines to prevent the virus breaking out of the gut.
The NIBSC researchers have been looking at what happens to macaques when they first become infected with SIV. They injected six macaques with normal SIV ...

Springsteen, Henley, Lovett, Raitt Salute Jackson Browne on April Tribute LP/
Press Release: Looking Into You (due out April 1 from Music Road Records), the first ever tribute album honoring Jackson Browne, features 23 hits and deep album cuts alike from the songwriter's catalog. So many respected musicians wanted in - from Ben Harper, Don Henley with Blind Pilot and Lyle Lovett to Keb' Mo', Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen & Patti Scialfa, and Lucinda Williams - that it had to be a double-disc set to fit them all.
The mix of old friends and younger admirers, up-and-comers and fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famers alike offer their own interpretations of Browne's songs, from his first album - 1972's 'Jackson Browne' - to 1996's politically-slanted 'Looking East.' Don Henley and young indie folk band Blind Pilot take on "These Days" - a song made popular in 1967 by Nico, six years before Browne released it himself - while Grammy-winning musician Keb' Mo' has a new take on the oft-covered "Rock Me On The Water." Bonnie Raitt and David Lindley perform "Everywhere I Go," Bruce Springsteen & Patti Scialfa recorded "Linda Paloma," and Paul Thorn tackled Browne's 1972 Billboard Top 10 hit, "Doctor My Eyes." As befits a Texas-based label, Music Road's 'Looking Into You' also features a healthy Lone Star contingent, including Eliza Gilkyson, Bob Schneider, J.D. Souther, Kevin Welch, Shawn Colvin, and Jimmy LaFave.
The album was conceived by Kelcy Warren, a longtime Browne fan and head of Music Road Records. Warren Co-Produced the album with Tamara Saviano, producer of a Grammy-winning Stephen Foster Tribute and a Grammy-nominated Guy Clark tribute, musician Jimmy LaFave, who performs "For Everyman" on the album (and is also Warren's partner in the label), and drummer-producer Scott Crago. Lyle Lovett has two tracks on the album because, as Saviano explains, no one could decide which of his recordings they liked better.
Saviano notes that the artist involvement on this album was much greater than on her previous projects, saying "In the past I used a house band and would create the arrangements ahead of time. But for this album we relied solely on the artists to create their own vision for the songs and gave them complete control over the instrumentation and arrangement." Saviano adds, "It was a challenge but it struck me how excited everyone was to honor Jackson in their own way."

The Kardashians
Kim Kardashian's Ex Nick Cannon Couldn't Get Over Her Sex Tape
Apparently not all of Kim Kardashian's ex-boyfriends have been as forgiving as Kanye West when it comes to the reality star's sex tape-filled past.
One ex particularly bothered by Kim's steamy video? Nick Cannon.
Kim briefly dated the singer back in 2006, but the relationship failed to get past a few major roadblocks.
"We talked about this tape... and she told me there was no tape," Nick told Howard Stern on air (via Radar Online) Tuesday, December 18. "If she might have been honest with me I might have tried to hold her down and be like 'That was before me,' because she is a great girl."
While Nick is now happily married to Mariah Carey, he still can't seem to forgive and forget Kim's little white lie.
"She's actually one of the nicest people you'll ever meet," he told Howard. "But the fact that she lied and told me that there was no tape?"

A few days ago, the Academy of Achievement updated the web pages of their interview to Wynton.
That interview is one of the best available around and it's from 1991. The interesting conversatin is 8 pages long, and features audio and high-res video excerpts. The biography section of that interview also features a wonderful video-clip where Wynton plays Stardust.

Check out this final Cali Rally video that documents the Hooters Chicken Wing Eating contest that went down at four different Hooters locations from San Diego to Hollywood. It's safe to say that the Rallyers won't be eating chicken wings anytime soon…especially Analog's Josh Hoyer who scarfed down about 60 of 'em!
While Hoyer's feat was impressive, the real question is: Which location had the hottest Hooters girls? I'd have to say the Pacific Beach location took the cake!
Still hungry? Didn't think so.

Cocoa nibs are cocoa beans that have been roasted, separated from their husks and broken into smaller pieces. Cocoa nibs can be eaten as a snack or added to backed goods and other dishes for added crunch and chocolaty flavor. These flavorful little pieces also have great nutritional value.
Nutritional Value
One oz of cocoa nibs contains 130 calories, 13 grams of fat, 10 grams of carbohydrates and 3 grams of protein. They are a one of the best dietary sources of magnesium as well as a good source of calcium, iron, copper, zinc and potassium.
Cocoa nibs contain 272 milligrams of magnesium per 100 grams. Magnesium is an important mineral that many people are known to be deficient in. Some studies indicate that up to 80 percent of Americans are lacking sufficient magnesium levels. Magnesium plays a major role in nerve and muscle function, bone strength and circulation. It cannot be produced by the body, and therefore, must be obtained through food sources or supplements. Cocoa nibs are a delicious way to meet the dietary requirements for this important nutrient.
Studies show that cocoa nibs have higher antioxidant levels than blueberries, red wine and green tea. The antioxidants in cocoa nibs are also more stable than in other foods and are easy for the body to assimilate.
Health Benefits
Energy Boost: Cocoa nibs contain a substance called theobromine, a central nervous system stimulant that has a similar, though less powerful, stimulating effect as caffeine. It may give you a healthy energy boost if you're feeling low during the day.
Mood Elevators: Cocoa contains tryptophan, an essential amino acid required for the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Enhanced serotonin levels can quell anxiety and enhance mood. Eating cocoa also helps to release endorphins, the body's natural opiates. Endorphins are what give runners that natural high. Eating cocoa can have a similar effect and may explain why some people become self proclaimed chocoholics.
PMS Symptoms: Magnesium deficiency is known to aggravate the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. Forty percent of women admit to chocolate cravings. This may be the body's attempt to obtain sufficient magnesium levels. Since cocoa nibs are a natural snack without added sugar, they may be a healthier way to satisfy monthly chocolate cravings.
Appetite Control: Coco contains chromium an important mineral for stabilizing blood sugar and reducing appetite.
Improve Circulation: Cocoa is a great source of flavanols, powerful antioxidants that play an important role in circulation. Flavanols help to prevent clogged arteries by helping to stop fatty acids from oxidizing in the bloodstream. Flavanols also help make blood platelets less sticky, which reduces the risk of blood clots, heart attacks and strokes.
Improve Cholesterol Levels. Cocoa contains healthy monounsaturated fats. The same fats found in olive oil. These healthy fats have been shown to raise good cholesterol (HDL) levels.

FDA panel to vote on painkiller restrictionsJune 30th, 2009 By MATTHEW PERRONE , AP Business Writer in Medicine & Health / Medications
FILE - In this Dec. 12, 2007 file photo, Tylenol drugs are shown in the drug department at Costco in Mountain View, Calif. During a two-day meeting that started Monday June 29, 2009, the FDA is asking more than 35 experts what additional steps can be taken to reduce accidental overdose with the over-the-counter and prescription pain relievers.(AP Photo/Paul Sakuma, File)
(AP) -- Government experts are scheduled to vote on whether Nyquil and other combination cold medications should be pulled from the market to help curb deadly overdoses.
The Food and Drug Administration has assembled more than 35 experts for a two-day meeting to discuss and vote on ways to prevent overdose with acetaminophen - the pain-relieving, fever-reducing ingredient in Tylenol and dozens of other prescription and over-the-counter medications.
Despite years of educational campaigns and other federal actions, acetaminophen remains the leading cause of liver failure in the U.S., sending 56,000 people to the emergency room annually, according to the FDA. There are about 200 acetaminophen-related deaths each year.
"It can happen to anybody, but it's very rare," said Dr. Lee Simon, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School, who attended Monday's meeting. "Obviously it's important that we improve the communication about these products because they are ubiquitous, and we still see people inadvertently overdosing."
The drugs that could be pulled off shelves are combination medications, such as Procter & Gamble's NyQuil or Novartis' Theraflu, which mix acetaminophen with other ingredients that treat cough and runny nose.
The FDA is not required to follow the advice of its panels, though it usually does. The panel vote is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
Manufacturers could lose hundreds of millions of dollars in sales if combination drugs are pulled from the market. Total sales of all acetaminophen drugs reached $2.6 billion last year, with 80 percent of the market comprised of over-the-counter products.
The FDA says patients often pair the cold medications with pure acetaminophen drugs, like Tylenol, exposing themselves to unsafe levels of the drug.
But the industry group that represents Johnson & Johnson, Advil-maker Wyeth and other companies defended the products Monday, saying they pose a relatively small risk to patients.
Only 10 percent of deaths linked to acetaminophen medications involved over-the-counter combination cold medications, according to the Consumer Healthcare Products Association.
The majority of deaths were caused by either single-ingredient drugs or prescription strength combination drugs like Endo Pharmaceutical's Percocet, which combines oxycodone and acetaminophen.
"We believe there is a clear health benefit of over-the-counter combination products containing acetaminophen," said Linda Suydam, the group's president.
Tylenol-maker Johnson & Johnson also pushed back against a proposal to lower the maximum daily dose of acetaminophen, which is currently 4 grams daily, or eight pills of a medication like Extra Strength Tylenol.
While taking more than 4 grams per day can cause liver injury, J&J argued that taking the exact dose is proven to treat osteoarthritis pain.
The FDA panel also will vote on a series of other proposals, including changes to the packaging and labeling of medications. Both ideas are designed to prevent patients from taking more than the recommended dose of the drug.

Has iPod's hit parade stalled?

Microsoft sees Zune effort as a long haulJuly 27, 2006
Apple rolls out 1GB NanoFebruary 7, 2006
The company hasn't had a significant update to its product line this year, with the only change being the addition of a smaller-capacity 1GB iPod Nano in February.
"It's possible that we're at a point where the path to taking the next step is less clear and less straightforward, even for a company with the technology expertise and creativity of Apple," said IDC analyst Susan Kevorkian.
Other reasons could explain the radio silence out of Cupertino, Calif., Kevorkian said, including the fact that Apple has decided to phase out the PortalPlayer processor from its next-generation Nano and reports that the company has faced design challenges with the successor to its video iPod.
Whatever the reasons, the competition is moving forward. Microsoft has said it will have its first Zune-branded device--a hard drive-based player with built-in Wi-Fi--in time for the holidays. SanDisk this week announced an 8GB version of its Sansa player, offering a device with more storage than the Nano or any of its major flash memory-based rivals. And the cell phone industry, which has struggled to find a music-playing hit, may have finally produced a bona fide contender with LG's Chocolate.
But few expect Apple is resting on its laurels.
"I'm convinced they aren't just sitting there," said Gartner analyst Michael McGuire. Apple declined to comment on where it is headed, as is its custom. Such silence, McGuire said, makes it hard to know where Apple is headed.
While it's hard to predict with certainty what will show up in Apple's next digital music players, any number of features could be added, analysts say. One possibility, Kevorkian said, is digital radio. So-called HD Radio offers digital content but, unlike satellite radio, is freely available without a subscription. Plus, one of the things that has prevented the technology from becoming widespread is the lack of support from hardware devices. "HD Radio is a technology that could make a lot of sense in the context of iPod," she said.
Apple has also given some indications that it may be trying to find new ways of melding the iPod with the cell phone.
During the company's most recent conference call, Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer said that today's cell phones don't make the best music players. "But over time, that is likely to change," he said. "And we're not sitting around doing nothing."
'Imagination is the limit'
The cell phone market is important, analysts say, noting that some consumers may opt to carry only one device, while others will make use of their cell phone for listening to music, even while carrying an iPod or other player on other occasions.
"You have a class of device that has a very powerful media processor with a lot of memory, it's almost like having a PC in your hand," Francis Lee, president and CEO of touchpad maker Synaptics, said in a recent interview with CNET News.com. "What kinds of things can you do with those devices? Your imagination is the limit," he said.
Lee, whose company's technology has been used in the iPod's scroll wheel, declined to comment specifically on what might be next for the iPod, but he said that broadly speaking, music remains one of the most important applications for future handheld devices.
In any case, Kevorkian said that Apple may have missed an opportunity to follow up on its successes of last year, which included the Nano and video iPod. "Apple had so much momentum coming out of 2005," she said. "That was momentum they could have banked on by introducing new products in the first half of 2006." (It should be noted, of course, that Apple could conceivably introduce a new model before the holiday shopping season.)

- Perfection in devices: The device meets the user's every want/need. (My own defination of course)
But wants and needs change. So what is perfect, for you, now may not be perfect tomorrow.
Some of the items mentioned in teh article were HD radio and WIFI. Those sound like a very good addition to any mp3 players. If at least one of the items mention in the article, like WIFI, were added to mp3 players but not to the iPod then the iPod would not longer be perfect (JMH0).
The telephone is a good example. A device that allowed you to call anyone you wanted and have a converstation. Perfect! Wait, party lines - no longer perfect. Ok everyone has their own line, perfect again! Wait, I need an operator's help to make some calls. Ok that has been removed, perfect again! Wait......
Sadly, perfection never lasts.

Its a shame that you would be interested in getting something
as ugly and overpriced as an iRiver clix. While it admittedly
comes with some features dont come with the iPod (like an FM
tuner, which is only available separately), it foregoes some
REALLY important ones (i.e. bootable hard drive, iTunes
compatibility) without even giving you the ABILITY to add them.
Furthermore, it ties you into the M$ PlaysForSure monopoly
instead of letting you use whatever system you darned well
Youre certainly entitled to your opinion, but if I ever get a
portable MP3 player, I expect itll be built into an iPod.

Hopefully the future is convergence so that I can carry fewer devices. And design meets utilitarian. My iPod is beautiful, but it scratches easy. I've never dropped my iPod. My LG phone gets dropped all the time (or thrown by my two-year-old) and it's barely scuffed at all.
As an aside, I'm confused... I thought that c|net was anti-Microsoft (or anti-philanthropy after last week's stupid Onion-reprint) but everyone on here seems to think they're anti-Apple. Perhaps c|net is just cranky and anti-everyone?

- Has iPod's hit parade stalled? No but Look Out Zune!
- People who have iTunes and iPods will mainly stay with what they have unless Sansa and Chocolate offer them iTunes compatibility. As for ZUNE, these competitors only increase the chances ZUNE will fail unless Microsoft has really got its game on with Version 1.0. What are the chances of that?

- WTF? It's still only August....
- Is this cnet writer an idiot? I guess so..
The current iPods are only 10 MONTHS OLD! New iPods will be
here before the holidays, but remember, last holiday season Apple
sold 14 million iPods... They now have an obligation to meet and
exceed those numbers this year... The only way to do this is to
release the new models in the holiday quarter..
A little common sense is all it takes to understand this..

- I know right what are they wining about.
- You guys at cnet dont think there is a cost rolling out a new product every 6 month? I mean if you would of wrote this in October then I would agree with you, but we will probably have a release estimate from apple by then and you would not have a story. Stop wining about more features, its clear that apple is doing just fine (you rarely se anything but an ipod here in NYC) If they want to take more time to refine their product thats ok with me I will wait for the next big thing from apple rather then jump on the band wagon of wannabes.

- Re: Music on cell phones...depends on DRM!
- Sure having your music on a cell phone might be more convenient than carrying around two devices, but there are many other matters to take into account. The biggest one is the DRM issue. What can you do with your music? Carriers for cell phones seem to have major restrictions and each song is more than twice the price, than iPods. My understanding, is you can't even transfer the song to your computer. The carriers will offer to sell you another song file, albeit, more expensive that will let you transfer it.
It's all too confusing, restricting and expensive for the average consumer, so I predict iPods will continue to sell well.

- Apple is only ONE company.. sheesh
- Of course competitors are creating products of their own, it's a
10:1 ratio.
I mean, everytime another device hits the market, it seems like
there's an article that asks where's Apple' response device. If that
were the case, there would have to be a new iPod every month!
It's like that in the PC world too. Any innovation or price point by
ONE of the companies like HP, Dell, Toshiba, Sony, Levano... ALL
compared to an Apple product.
I guess it's lonely at the top.

- Questionmark Justifies Any Headline?
- Rule 34: When your facts don't support (or even conflict) with
your thesis, simply use a question mark after your misleading
headline. This will work for both headline readers and article
1.) Those who only the headline - the vast majority of readers -
will ignore the questionmark, and take the innuendo as fact.
2. ) Those who read and find that your facts do not support your
headline can be safely ignored. After all, the headline was a
question, and not a statement. Therefore, you never REALLY said
whatever it was, anyway.

- How is it that ?
- When Apple release a new iPod people complain "i just bought a
new one, why do they have to bring out a new one so soon", Apple
waits a year between iPods, people complain "why haven't they
updated the iPod yet" They can't win.

- I-Pod= No Voice Record, In-Line Record, FM or Record, or WMA compatiblity!
- I-Pod = No Voice Record, In-Line Record, FM or Record, or WMA compatiblity! + user replaceable recargeable battery, and DRM compatibility with others providers, not only just I-Tunes.
Until the above are added as many others have, the Apple I-POD will not be the most popular & be on the decline.

Why do I need FM? So I can listen to music I hate played by the radio stations? The whole purpose of buying these portable music players is so you can play the music that YOU like. What do I care if I can only use iTunes? Do the other services carry music that I want but aren't available on iTunes? Nope.

ALL of the other devices are clearly a cheap copy of the iPod as denoted by the "iPod Killer" tag lines that all of them use...big deal.
It's August people...Holiday season has not started before Labor Day.
iPod & iTunes Moto Phone were introduced during the Holiday Season after the Sept.05 Apple Paris Expo.
Apple is silent because the are creating something new & big for the Holidays & they don't want some techno-rag like C|NOT to speculate & spread information or worse FUD like this article above.
Don't you make enough ad revenue from MS & SanDisk that you still need to run a verbal PR spin article & call it NEWS?

The Vampire Diaries
Vampire Diaries Season 4: When Will We See [Spoiler]?
*Warning! Spoilers for Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 4 ahead!*
It's been too long since we've seen Elijah (Daniel Gillies) on The Vampire Diaries — let alone with his bulging biceps showing through a homespun vest. The Original Vampire skedaddled out of Mystic Falls after he had a moral lapse in judgment where Elena (Nina Dobrev) is concerned. (Nobody puts Elena in the tunnels.) The question is, will the impeccably coifed vamp dare to set foot back in town in Season 4?
Yes! And speaking of hair, he'll have a new 'do. Actually, Elijah will have an old 'do — 900 years old, to be exact. Daniel Gillies told MTV he's currently back on the TVD set. Before you get too amped, Elijah is just back for a flashback (for now). He'll join Rebekah (Claire Holt) in the 1100s. Julie Plec told TV Line that Season 4, Episode 4 reveals a "big secret that will change the course of the season for everybody."
Something that makes us optimistic about Elijah's potential return (in the present) is what Daniel said to MTV: "As long as there's The Vampire Diaries, there has to be Elijah. He's too woven into the fabric of it now. One cannot exist without the other."
Daniel continued that Elijah provides a stabilizing force, saying, "Whenever he returns, s**t gets done." True story. Few people can resist the persuasive power of Elijah in a suit — but the OVs might not be the biggest threat in Season 4. With talk of a new villain coming to Mystic Falls, Daniel agreed Elijah and siblings could face some completion but added, "I don't think the Originals are going to go anywhere for a little while."
Thank goodness. We don't what we'd do without Elijah's mahogany ringlets.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I've got an old Sony Vaio laptop which has a problem with overheating. It's
out of warranty and has been replaced now by a much snazzier laptop, and I'd
like to put Ubuntu on this machine and turn it into a media center; however,
with the overheating, it shuts itself off after a few hours, and the fan is
very loud.
So, I'd like to take this thing apart and see if I can't clean out the guck
which I presume is clogging up the cooling fan (we have six cats in this
house, and we live in a heavy agricultural area, so I can only imagine the
amount of gunk that must pass through this thing). I've removed all of the
components -- the battery, the CD/DVD player, the hard drive, etc. -- and
taken out all of the visible screws, but I still can't get into it. I assume
I need some sort of special tool, or there is some special secret maneuver
that I need.
I've Googled until my eyes started to bleed, but I was unable to find any
instructions on-line for opening this laptop (it's a Sony Vaio PCG-GRV670P).
Anyone got any ideas or hints? I'm comfortable opening my desktop and
messing around with its innards, but I've never worked inside a laptop
