It's been a long time since we've last been able to play a proper new release of a SimCity game, with SimCity 4 having been released a staggering 10 years ago. If you happen to feel lenient and place SimCity Societies in the running, then it's still been a full six years since we've been able to indulge in our city-building addictions with a modern release. Fortunately, our wait is almost over, with the latest SimCity game, simply dubbed "SimCity", set to launch in March. Since March is still a little ways away, EA is allowing us to whet our appetites with an open beta set to take... Read more...
With all this talk surrounding the proposed AT&T / T-Mobile USA merger, it leaves Sprint in a weird place. Verizon Wireless already has a commanding share of America's CDMA market, and after scooping up Alltel, they aren't really in any major need for millions of new subscribers. But Sprint? Well, Sprint has exactly been having the best quarters of their lives in recent years, and while things aren't "dire" by any means, the carrier is probably thinking long and hard about their strategy should this AT&T / T-Mobile thing go through. And it appears that they want to share that strategy with... Read more...
Intel is using the Computex trade show taking place in Taipei this week to outline the company's vision for the mobile space in the coming years. Intel has stated that it is making changes to its roadmap in an attempt to accelerate a new class of ultra-thin and light mobile products dubbed "ultrabooks". Intel's plan is to combine the best attributes of today's PCs and tablets to produce a new class of products. Intel's goal is to have this new ultra mobile category account for approximately 40% of the market by the end of next year. Intel has also announced that... Read more...
HKEPC has analyzed Intel's upcoming mobile strategy and identified some key transition points and concerns that should pique your interest. Here, they confirm that Intel's upcoming Core 2 Duo (Merom) processor in Socket M form will work with existing Centrino (Napa) platforms through the simple updating of the BIOS. Owners of Napa-based notebooks should rejoice as they can dramatically increase performance by upgrading to a new Core 2 Duo processor. Unfortunately, it appears as though Intel will be tossing the Socket M form factor out the window and transitioning to a new Socket P design for the... Read more...

Rudy's style of dress, wearing a black tuxedo with a long black overcoat and a white silk scarf around his neck, was popularized again in 1984 by Holly Johnson, lead singer for "Frankie Goes To Hollywood," in the music video for "Relax," as well as his appearance in the movie Body Double that same year.

Privacy law must not hurt press freedom
SCMP Editorial
Most Popular
Stalking takes a variety of objectionable forms, from being followed to unwanted or abusive communication, verbal and physical harassment and vandalism. Smartphones and the internet have widened its scope. A law making it a criminal offence would seem uncontroversial, until you consider possible unintended consequences, such as inhibiting press freedom by obstructing legitimate media scrutiny in the public interest.
Community fears about this are one reason the government took no action for a decade on a report from the Law Reform Commission (LRC) proposing such a law. Under pressure from increasing public concern about harassment and invasion of privacy, officials finally put the LRC report out for consultation nearly two years ago and also commissioned a report from the University of Hong Kong's centre for comparative and public law. The latter has raised fresh concerns.
A stalking law has to reconcile two core freedoms guaranteed by the Basic Law - press freedom and the right to privacy. The government suggested the media's concerns could be met by provision of a defence that pursuit or conduct is reasonable under the circumstances. This failed to meet media industry concerns. The journalists' association, for example, questioned whether investigative journalism in the public interest would be considered legitimate news gathering. The HKU report says, rightly, that this leaves the legal position too uncertain and calls for both journalists and campaigners to be exempted from both criminal and civil liability.
Safeguarding privacy with criminal sanctions at the expense of press freedom would not only be the thin end of the wedge against our cherished right of free speech, but would be a threat to a forum for ordinary citizens to speak out freely against encroachments on their rights. Officials are seeking the views of lawmakers. To be sure, tabloids and magazines have been responsible from time to time for egregious breaches of professional ethics and invasions of privacy. But we need to be wary of a law that opens the door to an attack on press freedom.

Privacy law must not hurt press freedom...???
Everybody have right of he/she privacy, oke!
Press freedom is just a opinion ... is not privacy... not same... u can have a opinion, without hurt or be hurt... it is just how u read and think on u mind, oke! Only Except some people who want to take a abuse of the press freedom... (Diana dead)?
People with negative mind read them as hurt. People with positive mind read them as lesson or ****... Positive mind don't read this news as a news, but as a Gossip... why u believe it?
Stalking is crime of the privacy... Press freedom opinion... Privacy is privacy for yourself... u cannot go in the privacy without permission... so, stalking is always without permission... so, stalking is not freedom of speech... ??? U stalk someone to get u story is a crime, or u have a permission of the story ... there are a very difference in how u get a story!? Agree?!
My dear people of reading/writing... try to separate to reading of a story... before judgment...???
Freedom of speech is just opinion, maybe it's will hurt someone, but maybe not... it is just how u read!?
Freedom of speech...

Jim Palmer, leisure editor / / News
EVEN storm clouds have silver linings, as a Beckenham soft play venue is ready to prove as it prepares to re-open better than before following weather damage.
A deluge of water in extreme weather conditions hit Gambado hard at the end of December, leaving them to replace flooring, reception and the cafe.
The dodgems and carousel had to be removed, the play frame refurbished and the whole site deep cleaned.
But now, the centre –which has one of the largest play frames in Greater London, a climbing wall, ball pool and tunnel slides – is planning to reopen in early March once the work has been carried out which will give it an all new reception, cafe and lower level frame.
General manager Roemello Price said: "Damage was sustained due to the sheer volume of water that could not efficiently be disseminated by the drainage system. Unfortunately Gambado is built with a slight slope to the entry doors which took the full force of the overflow".

Heartwarming: Bill Bryson
- An anecdote he relates in In A Sunburned Country: In the 1950s, a teenaged Hungarian immigrant (who was escaping the 1956 Hungarian Revolution) to Australia reported to the local police station and explained in broken English that he had been told to register his address. The duty sergeant stared at the youth, and came around his desk. "The Hungarian recalled that for one bewildered moment he thought the policeman might be about to strike him, but instead the sergeant thrust out a meaty hand and said warmly, 'Welcome to Australia, son!' The Hungarian recalled the incident with wonder even now, and when he finished there were tears in his eyes."

I understand. If you are right, it is a can't lose situation, 12.5% or increased share price. Never seen a can't lose situation before but I hope you are right. I need to see $29 to break even now. I am afraid that there are too many investors who won't see your logic and panic if the divie is cut. That would drive the share price down, don't you think?

Andy Schulz
3rd Year Medical Student
Why did you chose Walsh?
I chose Walsh University because of the great scholarship opportunities they offered. Also, the University had a strong and rising science program that provided research opportunities and other experiences that would prepare me for my future. Another benefit was that I had several friends that went to Walsh who really enjoyed their experiences.
Describe briefly what you do in your current job:
I am now beginning my third year of medical school, which is my first year of work in the hospital. My first two years in medical school were mainly focused on basic sciences in the framework of medicine. With this preparation, I am now ready to care for patients and hopefully help those in need.
How did Walsh prepare you for your current job?
Walsh University prepared me for medical school in several ways. The Science division and its professors equipped me above and beyond what I needed to start medical school. In addition, Walsh's Honors Program provided me with the avenues to further develop critical thinking and writing skills in areas outside of science that have served me well in my career. Finally, social and volunteer activities at Walsh helped me to understand the value of service and developing lasting and valuable relationships.
What advice would you give to someone who is considering attending Walsh University?
Congratulations! You are about to start a whole new journey and exciting part of your life. Make the decision that is right for you, but know that if you choose Walsh you will love it and have a great experience. When you start at Walsh, make as many friends as possible and find things to get involved in that you are passionate about. Work hard at school and have as much fun as you can. Also, don't be afraid to seek out advice from upperclassmen or alumni. Good Luck!

Radiotakeover Tour
Radioabandonment Tour is more like it. Nobody's singing "We Want the Airwaves" anthems anymore, and since Joey Ramone's look-alike Howard Stern announced he's abandoning broadcast for satellite radio, the end is drawing near. Radiotakeover.com has been an invaluable source for independent music on the Internet, and its smorgasbord tours are about as eclectic as its typical indie/punk/hardcore streaming playlists. Christian rock band Mewithoutyou unites people of all faiths in despondency with front man Aaron Weiss' scream-of-consciousness harangues -- ah, well, maybe it's more amusing to watch. Dealing better with heartbreak is Chicago's own Owen, a solo, largely acoustic emo project of singer-songwriter Mike Kinsella after the disbanding of his revered former band American Football. Alabama's The Snake The Cross The Crown is like a cross between Radiohead and No Depression, with a predisposition for pretentiously epic titles that might coax the Moody Blues out of senility. "On the Threshold of Eternity," anyone? And lastly, Canada's Despistado takes over the radio for some much-needed frivolous pop, like "Can I Please Have an Order of Girl With a Side of Confused."

4 storylines for Indiana's game vs. No. 1 Ohio State
Fri., Oct. 2, 2015
IU an "unwitting participant" in Louisville scandal
Fri., Oct. 2, 2015
Indiana catcher Kyle Schwarber signed with the Chicago Cubs for a $3.125 million signing bonus according to an MLB.com report earlier today.
The report also said that Schwarber will join the Cubs' short-season Class A club in Boise for its opener on Friday.
Podunker #1
Wow! Congratulations young man. Your hard work is paying off. You may not be set for life, but you're off to a great start in building financial security.
Anybody have any idea what type of salary these guys get paid? I assume it's modest as long as they're in the minors.
Harvard for Hillbillies #2
Could he be called up from the minors and play with the Cubs this season?
In theory, yes. Do I think it will happen? No. You don't see many players go from college to the draft to the bigs inside of one season. Wouldn't be shocked to see him in a Cubs uniform by the end of 2015, though. Imagine he'll follow mostly the same path as Kris Bryant, the Cubs' 2013 first-round pick and last year's Golden Spikes winner at the University of San Diego, who I believe is in AA with the Cubs right now. Basically, follow Bryant through the rest of the year and imagine Schwarber doing the same thing a year later.
It is very modest, Podunker. Not sure what it is exactly.

This is one of the reasons he was drafted. He signed for more than $1 million under the amount allotted for his slot. That money is going to be used to entice High School pitchers (who the Cubs drafted a bunch of) to sign instead of going to college. He may wind up in a Cubs uniform but the nearly unanimous opinion up here in the Chicago area on Sports Talk and in the newspapers (as well as national guys like Gammons and Rosenthal) is that Schwarber will be packaged with other Cubs minor league hitters (and they have a bunch of them) at some point to get pitchers (which the Cubs are lacking in their minor league system) that are Major League ready when the Cubs are ready to go "all in" to try to win. That's two to three years off according to the plan that Epstein and Hoyer have set out and repeated since they got to Chicago. I hope Schwarber makes it in the Majors and I'd like to see him with the Cubs but it's not likely. No one, including the Cubs, thinks he's a Major League Catcher due to his defense thus he's also going to have to learn to play the outfield or 1st base. His bat (if he can hit in the Majors as he has in College) will give him a career but it probably won't be in Chicago.
iulongago, have some insight for you. What Gammons Rosenthal or some unmentioned local Chicago beat writer says or does not say, you incorrect. No one knows what the Cubs are going to do or not do with Schwarber until,
A) they see him play in their system
B) Know what they get in their three or four deals they will make this season selling of Samardzija, Hammel(?), Jackson(?) Villaneuva plus Schierholtz, Barney and Bonafacio.
C) From actual scouts many had Schwarber the best hitter in the draft—period. And even if he grades out as an average catcher if his bat is as it is projected Cubs need catching, especially catching that bats LH'd with power and OBP.
D) Whether Schwarber was part of a financial deal the Cubs maintain he was their choice #2 regardless if Aiken was not on the board. Certainly the opportunity existed where Schwarber signed in between slot 8 or 9, which was the highest the parlor game commentators had him best pegged. I think this is a win-win, Cubs need catchers and desire LH power bats with solid OBP, Schwarber was rumored to go near 10 or slot value $2.97M, he gets a bump of $125K and is possibly IU's highest ever draft pick.
Guess i am not seeing the cold water here
iulongago #8
RWN–It's not my opinion it's theirs and almost unanimously. He is looked upon as a really good hitter as I mentioned. He did sign for money below his slot. He's not going to be a Major League Catcher unless his defensive skills improve in the Minors but he has a really Good chance to be a Major League player because of his bat. Your argument isn't with me. It's with people who know a lot more about baseball than I do.
I don't give much credence to sports analysts national or otherwise, they are in the business of getting attention not providing insight or information, the scouts and former participates in baseball or other sports all pan their pronouncements. Time will tell with Schwarber, as evidential and empirical evidence derived on the playing field will determine his fate. I was told by a Rocky Mtn scout of another franchise that was drafting near the ten spot that Schwarber was top of their board and not as a LF'er either. He already is an adequate catcher, good back stop, good feet, quick release and has the intel to call a solid game, his downside is his arm is below canon like, but so is Posey and Mauer and McCann all offensive catchers whose WAR numbers are only less than superstar Molina. Absolutely he has to develop or refine his defensive game in the minors. But I don't see him as an OF'er unless he is a utility player which means his bat diminishes as he ascends.
Just thought you all might like to see an IU prodigy make a first impression. Schwarber hits HR, a 3-run blast in his first game as a pro in A- Ball. He went 3-4 as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTB8HTNG5S4
Harvard for Hillbillies #11
Damn…Visions of Roy Hobbs shattering light bulbs. Are we sure the Cubs don't want this young man sooner more than later?
iulongago #12
…and his day confirms what the "experts" had to say if one believes that a single game assures the future. He can hit (2 singles and a homerun) but he's not a good defensive catcher (allows a stolen base and his throwing error results in a run). I truly do hope the kid makes it but it will probably be with a team other than the Cubs. They will need pitching and they've got plenty of hitters to use in a trade. He might be one of them.

Goffstown Post 16 heads to playoffs
Legion baseball senior leagues wrapped up this week, with Goffstown's Wesley-Wyman Post 16 clinching the second seed in District A.
A playoff date against Nashua-Hudson Post 8 is scheduled for Friday, July 26, at 4 p.m. All tournament games will be played at Memorial Field in Concord.
Post 16 sealed their ticket with a 3-2 12-inning win over Manchester Sweeney Post on Sunday, July 21, at Gill Stadium.
That was the first game of a double header with Sweeney. With a playoff berth assured, manager Tom Lamy gave his bench some playing time in the second game, which Sweeney won 6-1.
Goffstown did have one more game scheduled against Manchester Post 79, but that team is under suspension for a recruitment violation.
Bedford Post 54 managed to end their season on a high note with a 3-2 win over Keene on July 21 at Riley Field in Bedford, but will not be moving on to the post season. Bedford finishes the season with a 2-12 record.
Over in District B, Salem Post 63 had a roller coaster week but wound up on the outside of the post season as well.
On Wednesday, July 17, Salem's C.J. Beaulieu threw a complete game no-hitter in an 8-0 win over Exeter Post 32. But Salem's playoff hopes were dashed with back-to-back losses July 19 and 20.
Salem fell to Derry Post 9 11-5 on July 19. On July 20, they were one out away from a win, but Portsmouth Post 1 eked out a 12-7 10-inning win.
Salem did finish with a 6-1 win at home over Dover. That gives Post 63 an 8-10 record.
The winner of the state Legion tournament this weekend advances to the regional in Connecticut next weekend and the Legion World Series in North Carolina the weekend after.

Video for first time test takers
2 [FONT="Arial Black"]Hey everyone, I thought it would be cool to show a video of Pearson Vue to the first time test takers so you will know what to expect the first time you test. Plus this video could help to relieve some anxiety. Blessings!

Ashes 2013-2014: England thrashing spells death of a team
This is no longer just a losing Ashes series. It is the death of a team: staked out in the unrelenting Australian sun, guts ripped open, dingoes feasting.
In losing the first three Tests by a combined margin of 749 runs, England had suffered the most complete of sporting defeats.
In being thrashed in the fourth by eight wickets, less than a day after being 116 runs ahead with all 10 second innings wickets in hand, they have reached the end.
When once-great teams fall, they fall far and fast, in ways that scarcely seemed possible in their lofty days of easy superiority.
The Ashes 2013-14
21-25 Nov: First Test, Brisbane: Australia won by 381 runs
5-9 Dec: 2nd Test, Adelaide: Australia won by 218 runs
13-17 Dec: 3rd Test, Perth: Australia won by 150 runs
26-30 Dec: 4th Test, Melbourne: Australia won by eight wickets
3-7 Jan 2014: 5th Test, Sydney
So it was on the bright MCG outfield on Sunday. It wasn't just the dropped catches, spilled in an incomprehensible manner, or the wanton mis-fields, or the tactics born not just of desperation but disorientation and delusion.
It was the body language - the lowered eyes, the slumped shoulders, the sense not of a single unit but of 11 individuals, lost and alone in the wide green spaces, all of who seemed to be saying, I want to escape, but I can't.
No other sport extends the torture like Test cricket. If a big-name tennis player had blown his Australian Open chances so comprehensively at the adjacent Rod Laver Arena he would have been gone in half a day. If a top-ranked golfer falls apart at a major, he is spared further humiliation by the quick mercy of the cut.
England's agony has gone on, day after day, like that same golfer being forced to play round after failing round, an Open every week, duffing drives and missing putts, swing in pieces, galleries guffawing.
For a Test team in a death-dive, only the scenery changes. The story remains the same.
"If you had put together a composite of the two teams at the end of the English summer you would not have found many Australians in it but if you were to do the same now you would probably only include Stuart Broad and Kevin Pietersen from the England ranks.
"It is a remarkable turnaround over such a short space of time and leaves you feeling that England just need this series to end before further damage is done."
It is a cruel, gratuitous process for those sucked in. You could see it on Sunday in the loneliness of Alastair Cook, stripped on this tour both of his old form and three of his senior players, impotent at first slip as Australia cantered to the 201 runs they needed for victory, so haunted by what was happening that he dropped a catch that would have stuck to a wall.
You could see it in the anger of the Englishmen watching, in the blame that gets cast at even the innocent when a team capitulates so totally, at the way talk moves beyond a mere criticism of sporting skill and into the denunciation of a man's character.
It matters little some may be without fault. England's team psychologist Mark Bawden, to offer one example, has been indispensable to several England players, a factor not only in their highs but in alleviating myriad unseen lows. But there will be those who demand his dismissal, just as others will the similarly excellent batting coach Graham Gooch, because people want explanations, and they want scapegoats.
For those on the pitch it can be more brutal still.
Players - experienced men, successful men - are pulled apart and opened up. Michael Carberry's technical flaws are no longer just his own or those of a few canny county bowlers; they have become public property, his humiliations discussed by people he will never meet.
It can be an unedifying sight. But it is happening, just as it has happened to other fine teams of the past, just as it will happen again to other sporting sides ambushed by advancing years and younger, hungrier opponents.
Catalogue of collapses
Brisbane: England lost six wickets for nine runs in their first innings and 4-9 in their second.
Adelaide: England lost 6-24 in their first innings of 172 all out.
Perth: Five wickets fall for 43 in first innings 251.
Melbourne: England lost their last six first innings wickets for 53 and their last five for only six second time round.
As the year closes, so does an era on this England team. Three years ago indomitable, unbeaten in 13 Tests just six weeks ago, they are now not just decaying but perished.
It has become the classic case-study. There is the frantic selection and rapid reappraisal: call in Jonny Bairstow, watch him fail with the bat and miss two chances with the gloves, immediately decide he is not up to the task.
There are the wild gambles in tactics: needing to bowl a side out, on a fourth-day pitch, and turning not to your specialist spinner Monty Panesar (167 Test wickets) but a part-timer, Joe Root, with 14 first-class wickets in his entire career.
There are the calls for heads to roll: questions about captain Cook's future, without any thought to who might come next; an attack on coach's Andy Flower's methods, even though they took the team to number one in the world, even though they beat India away and this same Australia side at home.
There is the style of dismissals - death not by a thousand cuts, but by a hundred slogs, by countless desperate edges; the crisis calls for fresh sacrificial victims, even though Gary Ballance and Scott Borthwick have never played at this level and could be scarred for good by being steamrollered in Sydney.
And there is the raising of the opposition raised to supernatural levels.
You can understand it with Midas Mitch, the man whose golden arm has lit up this series, but this Australia side is not the vintage of 2006-7.
Nathan Lyon is no longer a groundsman, just as Chris Rogers is exactly the sort of short-sighted, colour-blind 36-year-old that England would love to have opening their innings. But in their failings Cook's men have turned them into superheroes.
As Shane Watson clouted the winning runs at the MCG on Sunday afternoon, England's resigned travelling support were bellowing their own version of Sloop John B. It ends with a lyrical tweak: "…in a glass cabinet, the urn stays at home."
Only the barmiest of armies could have resisted the urge to stick with the original. Is this the worst trip they've ever been on? Barring a miracle at the SCG, it would be hard to argue.
When England's rugby union team were similarly thrashed on their visit to Australia 15 years ago, the humiliation was so total that it became known as the Tour of Hell.
Choose your own epitaph this time around. Tour of Torment? The Disaster Down Under?
If they weren't so stricken by what has gone on, England's players might find a fitting way to say it themselves: this has been the winter of our dismemberment.

I see Andy Flower is already made public his desire to remain England coach.That's bad news for England because he is cricket's equivalent of David Moyes,and England cricket fans must be thinking what have we done to deserve this.
Comment number 366. Posted by DukeEngineeron 30 Dec 2014 00:35
Give Bell a chance as captain. Free Cook up tp concentrate on batting only. Drop KP permanently as a prima donna who is NOT a team player - he doesn't 'fit'. New management and I'd get Vaughan involved in a senior role. Botham & Gower to have greater influence & set out a clear 5 year plan from youth to senior level across all English cricket. Find new fast bowlers! Fresh start - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Not quite true about the naming of gates. The Adelaide Oval has The Victor Richardson Gates, named after a batsman who averaged less than 25 in Tests.

I wonder if the Moderators could remove the comments from 'Manchester United London' - they have nothing to do with this article and the torrid state of English cricket.

Let me tell you this.No way is the England cricket team better than the Manchester United football team.Manchester United are the greatest.Unlike the England team who is imploding we at Old Trafford have been improving of lately.However I still don't think will win the Premier League.If only the England cricket team could adapt football like qualities of Bryan Robson they would be great.
Comment number 361. Posted by Manchester United Londonon 30 Dec 2014 00:08
England are not a mid-table cricketing nation.However we are not top either.As for Manchester United I fear with Moyes in charge we might be mid table.What England need is Alex Ferguson in charge and quality players in the mould of Robson,Van Nistelrooy,Cantona,Ronaldo,Irwin.Keane,Giggs,Beckham.If England had that,Australia would be on the run,but reality says it aint gonna happen.
Comment number 360. Posted by BacardiStuon 29 Dec 2013 23:59
Cook was never a test captain, no reading of the game and safety first. Give Bell a go. The whole approach needs to change, start enjoying the game and play their natural game, if this can only be done by getting rid of Flower and Gooch then so be it, but Giles is not the answer. Also KP should never have come back, great bat at times but too much baggage.

@Manchester United London -
I notice you continually reference Manchester United in your test cricket analogies.
Are you implying that England are now, as it were, a "mid-table" cricketing nation? : )
Comment number 358. Posted by Manchester United Londonon 29 Dec 2013 23:44
In the halcyon era of success,Australia had great captains.Allan Border(QLD),Mark Taylor(NSW),Steve Waugh(NSW),to some degree Ricky Ponting(Tassie).Hussain or Atherton were no match on the captains of Australia.
However when you think of great England captains you think Mike Brearley,Bryan Robson who was Captain Marvel.Now your talking.Even Captain Marvel was respected in Australia.

Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 ears on
Announced in early November, we've managed to score a photo gallery and ears on with the new Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 PC speakers that according to the company will "revolutionise the experience" of music, video and games.
The speakers, which as you can see from the pictures look like two large towers, are stylishly designed, bringing with them some of the styling found on the B&W Zeppelin and the Zeppelin Mini.
It's to be expected. After all the product has been built by the same team behind the company's Zeppelin iPod speaker, and each channel contains a full range, active, near field monitor with two drive units that include an aluminium dome tweeter for snazzier treble.
Bass output shouldn't be too much of a problem either, says the company, thanks to various proprietary DSP techs that have been crammed in.
There's a headphone jack in there so you can switch over to quiet mode while at your desk and the whole system connects to your PC or Mac via a USB socket, so it can do the audio encoding and processing itself rather than letting your computer do it.
Sound wise, we heard a very early pre-production model (we actually saw them a day after the announcement, but they were empty shells) and are happy to report that they produce a very mellow sound that would happily fill your desk with sweet music. We were subjected to Seal, Razorback, and Pink, not a great choice admittedly, but the speakers coped well even though B&W were keen to point out a lot of work was still to be done. It would be interesting to see how they perform with some Dylan for vocals and Crystal Method or The Prodigy when turned up loud.
We will wait for the final thing before giving a verdict, but from what we've heard so far, if you're looking for PC speakers with good sound and great style, this might just be the thing.
We will keep you posted.

CAIRO — The historic trial of Egypt's former leader Hosni Mubarak came to an abrupt halt Saturday after a revolt by attorneys for the families of victims killed in the uprising against him, who declared that they had lost faith in the judges hearing the case.
The victims' attorneys filed a motion asking for new judges after what they described as the court's outrageous displays of bias during testimony Saturday by Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi. Mubarak's former defense chief and longtime confidant, Tantawi took over as head of the interim military council now ruling Egypt after the former president's fall in February.

Blinkers put Be My Song in winning mood
John Bell
Most Popular
Be My Song arrived in Hong Kong with an impressive record from Australia and on the evidence of yesterday's barrier trial win at Sha Tin, it won't take the three-year-old long to open his winning account.
The Umatilla gelding raced four times in South Australia under the care of Phillip Stakes and after finishing second at his debut, reeled off three consecutive wins before joining the stable of Ricky Yiu Poon-fie.
He lined up for his debut down the Sha Tin 1,000-metre straight course on May 27 and after showing speed down the centre of the track weakened to finish a well-beaten 10th to Always Giggle, appearing uncomfortable in the rain-affected conditions.
Yiu added the blinkers to Be My Song yesterday, headgear the gelding sported in each start in Australia, and he began brilliantly under Brett Prebble to set up an early three-length lead.
Prebble took hold shortly after, was joined by Thunder Valley and Dim Sum, before giving Be My Song his head in the straight and he kept on strongly to defeat the fast-finishing Excellent Boy by 3/4 lengths.
While it was a positive sign for the winner, the performance of Excellent Boy would have brought a smile back to the face of his trainer Caspar Fownes.
Excellent Boy hasn't raced since finishing a disappointing 10th to Good Ba Ba at Sha Tin on January 20 but on the way he trialled, the Deputy Governor gelding is set to end the season on a high.
The five-year-old began well under Shane Dye before being eased and settling back on the fence. Dye took inside runs, and once working into the clear with 200m remaining, Excellent Boy let down smartly without being pressured to hit the line full of running.
Rice Field, who showed a return to form with a good effort last start, indicated he had trained well by staying on for third without being asked a serious question by Douglas Whyte.
