According to a report out of SamMobile, Samsung is preparing to launch its own fully round smartwatch that will be unveiled at Mobile World Congress (MWC) next month. Little is known about the watch, but this report claims that the device carries the model number SM-R720 and codename Orbis. The "R" in the model number could mean "round," though that is just speculation at this point. (more…)
Sony Announces New Flagships for 2014 – Xperia Z2 and Z2 Tablet
Mobile World Congress is now in full swing, which means the press releases and product announcements have flooded in over night. First up, as we close in on Samsung's big event this afternoon, we have Sony's two new flagship products for 2014, the Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet.
Both products will look quite familiar, as they carry Sony's style and design throughout, but with upgraded specs in all of the right places, these should be their best mobile products yet.
Let's talk about each. (more…)
Samsung Exynos Infinity Processor Debuting at MWC, Could It be 64-bit?
Samsung's Exynos Twitter account posted an image this morning with the tag "Exynos Infinity, in Barcelona," a pretty clear hint at there being a new mobile processor ready for arrival at Mobile World Congress next week. The rest of the image includes a bull, but that is likely a reference to Spain and the location of MWC, rather than another hint.
So what is the Exynos Infinity? No one knows at this point. Are we talking Samsung's next-gen 64-bit processor that will compete with Apple's A7? Maybe. A recent Linux kernel patch outed a Samsung processor under the codename GH7 that appears to be 64-bit. (more…)
LG G Pro 2 is Now Official: Snapdragon 800, 5.9-inch 1080p Display, 4K Video Recording, and More
This evening, LG went ahead and unveiled its new tablet-phone hybrid, the G Pro 2. The phone is the follow-up to last year's G Pro, which was largely thought of as a solid competitor to Samsung's Galaxy Note line. With the 2, we're looking at upgraded specs in all the right places, along with an insane 77.2 percent screen-to-frame ratio. (more…)
LG Teases the G2 Mini Ahead of Its MWC Unveiling
The LG G2 MINI is now official, thanks to a teasing of the device through LG's Facebook page. The note says to "experience the MINI" on February 24 at Mobile World Congress (MWC). So yeah, that's happening and will no longer be any sort of surprise. Well, we had an idea that the phone was coming after seeing a Bluetooth SIG filing, but this takes any guessing out of the name.
What about specs? The flagship G2 launched as a phone with some of the highest and most impressive specs any mobile phone had ever seen. But with phones labeled "Mini," we tend to see low or mid-range devices that can be purchased on the cheap or in emerging markets. Rumors surrounding this G2 MINI suggest that it may have a qHD display. Let's hope not. We would much rather LG go Sony's route with the Z1 Compact, a smaller device that still rocks out with high-end specs (our hands-on). (more…)
Motorola is Hosting an Event at MWC on February 25, New Devices Not Likely
According to invitations sent to select press from Motorola, an event has been scheduled for February 25 in Barcelona, during the week of Mobile World Congress (MWC). The event is not expected to be a showcase of new hardware, but more of an "update on the business." As you all know, Lenovo is planning to acquire Motorola from Google over the coming months, so current CEO Dennis Woodside is likely going to take a minute to talk about the road ahead, plans for the year, that type of thing.
2014 should be business as usual for Motorola, even with the acquisition looming. Google's Larry Page said so himself during their most recent earnings call, because after all, these things do take time to finalize. So while this event may not be to introduce new products, new products similar to last year's Moto X will most certainly be here this year.
Now that you have had a week to marinate on this Lenovo-Motorola deal, have any new thoughts? (more…)
LG Announces G Pro 2, Shares No Device Specs or Pictures
LG announced the G Pro 2 this morning, but decided to troll a little bit and not talk about any of the device's specs or even post a picture. Reports of the device first showed up back on the 23rd of January, and instead of letting the industry continue to speculate, it appears LG wanted to make the device official. But again, LG gave us no specs or pictures. (more…)
Report: LG G Pro 2 With 3GB RAM and 6-inch Display Coming to MWC
According to Korean media, LG will introduce the G Pro 2 next month at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. As you may recall, they introduced the original G Pro ("Optimus" G Pro) in February of last year, so if we're talking yearly cycles of phones, the time frame certainly matches up. Last year's G Pro sort of skated under the radar, even though it featured a 5.5-inch 1080p display and was mostly a beast in terms of specs. Then again, LG has almost always tried to pack in top-of-the-line specs, yet has struggled to grab much of the Android market share. (more…)

Update 14th Nov 2008. I've just released a script which does all this configuration in one or two command lines: HVRemote
Quick links to the all parts in the series: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
The second part of the extra-long blog post contains the steps necessary on the client machine. Part one concentrated on the server side configuration. Step 5 (On the client) Step 5 mirrors step 2 in the first part of this blog post, but on the client. Note also (again for convenience more than anything else), my Vista SP1 machine is actually itself a virtual machine running on the same physical machine as the server. You've got to love it when you can have a somewhat recursive technology ;) Enable the firewall rules on the client for WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation). From an elevated command prompt, enter the following: netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)" new enable=yes Make sure the command it successful and responds: Updated 8 rules(s). Ok. If you now open "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" from Control Panel/Administrative Tools on the start menu, you will notice eight rules, six inbound and two outbound have been enabled. (It helps to sort by Group)
Step 6 (On the client) This step creates a firewall exception for the Microsoft Management Console application (mmc.exe). From an elevated command prompt, enter the following: Netsh firewall add allowedprogram program=%windir%\system32\mmc.exe name="Microsoft Management Console" Make sure the command is successful and responds "Ok." You can verify that you succeeded in the above step by looking in the "other" Windows Firewall application. (No, I have no idea why there are two either….). Open "Network and Sharing Center" on the control panel, and click Windows firewall in the bottom left corner, then click "Allow a program through Windows Firewall" where you'll see a new entry with the name "Microsoft Management Console"
Step 7 (On the client) IMPORTANT!!!! You need to do this step in the following scenarios:
You DO NOT NEED TO DO THIS STEP if the client and server are in either the same or trusted domains. Go to step 8.
WMI makes calls back from the server to the client. This is entirely expected (and is not Hyper-V specific). When a server is in a workgroup, the DCOM connection from the server back to the client is "anonymous". This step therefore grants the appropriate permission. On the start menu box (yes, well spotted, I need to apply updates), type dcomcnfg and hit enter to open Component Services. If UAC is enabled, click allow when prompted or enter appropriate administrative credentials.
Expand the tree down through Component Services\Computers\My Computer, select My Computer, right-click, choose properties and select the COM Security tab. Click Edit Limits in the Access Permissions area (do not confuse with Edit Limits in the Launch and Activation Permissions area). Select "ANONYMOUS LOGON" from the list of users, and make sure Remote Access/Allow is checked in the permissions area. Your screen should look like below. Click OK and OK again, and close Component Services. Step 8 (Away from the keyboard) Take a deep breath and pat yourself on the back. Now do that again. A third time if you like. Then double-check to make sure you followed the above steps and those in part one to the letter. You did remember the step about restarting the server, didn't you? Step 9 (On the client) Logon as the account you have granted permissions to ("john" in my walkthrough) on the client. Start Hyper-V Manager from Administrative Tools on the Control Panel. Enter appropriate administrative credentials if UAC is enabled and the account is not an administrator on the client. Click Connect to Server and enter the name of the remote machine. Watch in awe as you get a screen like below. You can also see, it took me 2 hours, 24 minutes and 19 seconds to do this walk-through documenting it step-by-step. It should take you much less time! Cheers, John.
Update 14th Nov 2008. I've just released a script which does all this configuration in one or two command lines: HVRemote
I'd absolutely love to see if you can get this working in your copious free time :). I have previously played around with RPC over HTTP trying to get Outlook clients on the outside of our network to connect to the Exchange server behind our NATted firewall and failed miserably :).
John- I'm experiencing the same problem as Robr, but my topology is different. Instead of going through firewalls, mine is being routed by firewalls. I use ISA 2004 at two points to create a site to site VPN tunnel. Other MMC consoles seem to work, but this Hyper-V one does not. Again, it's not going through NAT, but in a routed environment.
I would like to be kept up to date also if you could.
Hahaha, you wouldnt believe how much I danced around when it worked John, you were right i had to type it in. Thank you.
So when's this all become less of a pain in the.... ? :P
Thank you very much! I would never have thought it would be so difficult to get Hyper-V Manager running with a remote connection. Two comments below.
1) I installed the RC0 for Hyper-V and found both on the server and my Vista SP1 client that some new firewall rules had been added which looked very much like the WMI rules (same ports, etc.), but starting with "Hyper-V". I disabled the WMI firewall rules from your steps and everything still worked.
2) The reason you can't copy and paste the firewall rules from the blog post is that the open and closing quotes are not the same ASCII character as the one on the keyboard :). I've seen this many times using Word as it replaces the quote character with fancy open and close quotes that the command prompt does not recognize.
I couldn't get this to work until I explicitly added my user name to the appropriate steps in the server portion of this guide. Even though that user was a member of the Administrators group on the server. This was not enough to allow the connection. The user had to be added separately. At least on my setup. Running Server 2008 Full x64 with a client running Vista Business x86 SP1.
The reason the shell commands don't work if you cut and paste them is because the inverted commas - ie " " don't come across right - they must be some kind of unicode character I imagine - if you paste the command into a command prompt box, then just go back and re-type the " over the existing ones, they'll work.
What about if Hyper-V server and Client Vista are in different domains? Do I need to create the two indentical users in both domains?
Darin - untrusted domains or part of the same forest? If the latter, then part 4 should work. Untrusted domains has seperate challenges which I'm still working through for a future part.
robr, I ran into this error message. Not sure if my issue is the same but it ended up being that the user account I was connecting with through Hyper-v remote management tools had an expired password. Odd error message but that is what it ended up being for me.
I'm in! Thanks so much. There's no way I would've figured any of that out.
Hey it works!!! I hope this issue is somehow resolved in the next release. Would be great if the setup did this for us!
thanks a lot for this post, it is very useful.
But, in scenarios with Windows Live OneCare this solution doesn't work due to OneCare firewall restrictions :(
Only one solution turn off firewall at all... :(
With the RTM release of Hyper-V just around the corner, I thought it would be a good idea to re-visit
So after even more feedback and questions, part 4 of this series provides the walkthrough steps necessary
thanks john, great walkthrough!!!

Think I fixed cause of BSOD using Reliability Monitor
Yesterday I had a BSOD. I was looking into doing what I needed to do to ask for help here. Then I thought of trying out the reliability Monitor. It told me that at the time of the incident I had a Video Hardware Error.
The computer was running weird. There was nothing I could put my finger on though. It was just a little sluggish. I downloaded a new copy of my video card driver and installed it. Now it is running as sweet as it usually does.
I'm fairly sure I fixed it. My question is do you guys think I could rely on this or should I ask you guys to check out the crash dump?

Export Reliability Monitor Data
Is there any way to export the data from Reliability Monitor into a report. I looked at creating a custom report, and I managed to work out that I needed to create a Data collection set, but couldn't find what to include if I wanted the Reliability Monitor data. I got a headached just reading the help file!!!!!!!!
I have some beta software on test from a manufcaturer, and would like to demonstrate the number of crashes caused by this software. An analysis of this data would be best way to demonstrate this. I have amost zero software crashes on my PC from anything else, and I'm guessing that 98% plus are down to one beta prog.

svchost.exe_CryptSvc and Reliability Monitor
I regularly check the System Stability Chart in Reliability Monitor, the Index is generally between 7 and 8, but one item has been regularly failing over the last few months.
Since 6 August 2009, svchost.exe_CryptSvc has stopped about 40 times, before that date it doesn't show at all (PC was new in May 2009).
I have no idea what svchost.exe_CryptSvc does and have Googled it to try to learn something, but most hits are about it taking excessive CP time or preventing Microsoft Updates. My updates appear to be fully up-to-date and I don't notice excessive CP time (except in my antivirus, AVG).
On 6 Aug, the first day it stopped working, there were 4 Software (Un)Installs listed:
Adobe Reader 9.1.3 (configuration change),
Adobe Reader 9.1.3 (appl. install),
Java 6 Update 15 (appl. install failed) and
Vista Services Optimiser 1.1.42 (appl. install)
Could one of these be causing svchost.exe_CryptSvc to stop? Should I be concerned about this?

SMART Monitoring Not Detected - Windows 7 x64
I like to keep an eye on my hard drive temperature, and I can in Windows XP, but on my dual-boot setup with Windows 7 x64 I have lost the ability to view temperatures. I've tried using Everest, Speed Fan and Active@ Disk Monitor and they all return the same result - that SMART detection is not available on my drives. My drives are SMART supported, and I have SMART monitoring enabled in my BIOS. I have tried running all programs with Administrator privelages, and my UAC settings are at default.
Right now I'm placing the blame on my motherboard's Vista x64 drivers (no Win7 drivers available), but if at all possible I'd like to see if anybody has experienced this problem and come up with a solution. After several google searches I have come up empty handed.

Monitors not going to Power Saving mode
Hi fellow beta testers,
I have had an issue with windows 7 seems to affect all versions atleast for me. The issue is that my monitors 90% of the time will not go to power saving mode on their own after the computert has been idle. Occasioanlly the screensaver will not start either, in which case I am left with static images on my screens for hours.
I think the later issue may be due to media applications (vlc, winamp) not releasing their hold on the system to not start the screensaver.
I've also considered the fact that my mouse is very sensitive and maybe subtle vibrations are enough to keep the screen saver / power saving from starting. I've disconnected that for long periods with no change.
I guess i'm looking for suggestions for troubleshooting my issues. Or just to see if anyone else is having similar problems. My relevant stystem specs at the moment are:
Win 7 7077
geforce 260
One Dell 2208WFP connected via DVI
One Samsung Synchmaster 940n connected via DVI
Video Driver from nvidia's webpage version 188.8.131.5271[/INDENT]

Windows 7 do not keep Username's "password" when Log In somewhere!
After upgrading to Windows 7 64bit after Vista Home Premium 32bit, every single time I visit a site, forum etc...where I have to type in my Username and Password, unfortunately Windows 7 OS does not hold in memory the Username, at least, which in many sites is my e-mail (quite long) and so I have to retype it again any single time! It is very frustrating and time consuming! I haven't touched anything in IE8 or Mozilla settings in Internet Options! It should keep the username as Vista & XP did!
Is any fix of this bug? I just installed Windows 7 and my computer is brand new!
Thank you in advance!

Attached monitor: windows keep being moved there + other win7 problems
I have a monitor and a TV. My Monitor is my main display while my TV is my "attached' display. Ive had Win7 for a few days and have a few issues:
Issue 1# Items are sometimes moved to my TV display. Other times ill open them up and they will start out in my TV display (and this is a big headache for programs like Password Agent). This means I either need to go thru the entire process of moving it (tnx for making that harder btw microsoft) or I need to open up my TV (or switch to the HDMI input if im watching tv). How do I fix this? It was a really rare problem on WinXP that mainly only happened when I switched resolutions (because of a game) but this is only day 3 of win7 and im ready to go on a shooting spree :P
Issue 2# In Windows XP I had a single folder shortcut on my attached TV. I only used that particular path for TV. So every time I clicked on it the folder would open on my TV. That way if I didnt have a folder open, I could easily open it up and navigate to where ever. Problem: Win7 decides to make the folder "location" global across all paths and HDDs. So if folder A is in my main monitor, I close it, and open folder B in my TV, it will go to the same location as folder A. Its like I need to re-enable the "remember location for individual folders".
Issue 3# Ive switched the toolbar back to Win7 style. Problem is, if I had a fodler open, firefox open then I open up another folder, its not item #3, it injects itself with the other folders. I like having the ability to move them, but I want them to stay in there open order unless I move them....
Issue 4# Is it possible to get rid of the side bar and get the favourite backs on the folders? I do like that it saves me 1 click, but it takes up extra space...

Win7 and CTX Touchscreen monitor not playing nice
im setting up an ITX jukebox PC for my dad and the CTX touchscreen monitor i got for it won't cooperate. im not sure if its Windows 7 or the monitor itself causing the issues. essentially the axises are totally screwy. its like the monitor is rotated 90o to the left. i tried letting Windows install the drivers and using the touchscreen calibrator built into Windows 7 but no luck. the driver disc that came with the monitor didn't work.
i know its a pretty specific question but any help would be awesome!

Monitor Not Waking From Sleep (Manual Pwr Cycle Required)
I recently built a new computer (specs below) and have no problems with it except that whenever the computer goes to sleep and I wake it up, either with the power button or keyboard, the monitor does not wake up. I can fix the problem easily enough by cycling the power on my monitor. After the monitor boots, if I left my internet browser or any other windows opened they would be re-sized, like the computer changed to a smaller resolution. But it will be at 1920x1080 like it should be.
I have updated my bios, I am running the most current version of video drivers, I really don't know why this is happening, and it isn't breaking my computer by any means, but it's kind of frustrating when I just built a brand new computer and its not working properly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Next Record not New Record (2003/SP1)
Hello All,
This is my first post, so here it goes. I'm working on my first DB form. My newest pet peeve in life is how the "next record" button will go to a new record once it's reached the last record in the db. Is there any way to get this button to act as a navigation button only and not create a new record?
My code Sir (or Ma'am):
Private Sub HelpdeskBack_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_HelpdeskBack_Click
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acPrevious
Exit Sub
MsgBox "Beginning of database", vbOKOnly, "First Record"
Resume Exit_HelpdeskBack_Click
End Sub
I've attached a picture of the form for good measure.
Thank you for you time,

Can not update Records 3197 error (Access 2003)
I have a distributed front-end MS/Access database that users enter and update items to backend tables (on a LAN) and then add any new entries and update any changes to an Oracle table.
The records in Oracle are updateable through the Web for a few fields that are not updateable from MS/Access. (I use OpenRecordSet and update the fields via code to prevent updating these fields by the users of the MS/Access database.)
This is working well except for two incidences.
My problem is that on two different occasions I have gotten this error when I try to update the items to Oracle:
"The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time. (Error 3197)"
The records are not locked by Oracle and can be updated via PL/SQL or the WEB.
I have used the 'Compact and Repair' option and tried the Jet compact utility on both the Front-end and Backend. Neither of which worked to correct the problem.
I dropped (deleted the links to the Oracle table and re-linked.)
I was able to delete the items from Oracle and then Add these back from my upload process without any corrections to the data.
Frontend has links to the backend tables and ODBC links to the Oracle tables.
Does anyone have an idea of what might be causing this to happen and is there a way to reset the records?

Not allowing data entry
Hi I am working on an inherited application. On a form there is the one side with customer details and a number of tabs with the various many tables that off shoot. I am adding to this "monster" and have a customer, to account, to transactions so main form, sub 1 then sub 2. I have put this on a tab to keep things consisitent for the user but oddly on sub 2 where there are not exisitng records I am unable to put any in, indeed there is no row ready to accept data entry and the record navigation buttons are greyed out. I have enclosed a screen dump to illustrate.
Mnay thanks, Darren.

Programmes keep 'updating'
Every few days my pc seems to update all my software programmes under an item called 'Application Configuration change' which can be seen listed under Computer Management/Reliability Monitor. However the pc (HP Laptop dv6525ea/Vista SP2) otherwise seems to be functioning OK.
What I get in the Event description is :
Windows Installer reconfigured the product (Product name etc ...) and it seems to be all my installed programmes.
I have searched the net and find some references to this problem under Event 1035 so its 'not just me'. But I can't find any solutions listed.
Any experts/ other users with these problems who can offer suggestions please?
(JUST FOR INFO TO OTHER HP SOFTWARE USERS ... in case any similar problem)

Report Charts not 'Keeping Up' (2000)
Hello gurus...we have a relatively large (20MB) database that is very "calculation-intensive" that produces some fancy looking reports complete with graphs. In Access 97, it worked well without a hitch. However, we have recently made the leap to Office 2000 and when it got converted, something strange is happening. When I print the report, it appears that the graphs cannot keep up with the raw data displayed. For instance, the numbers may range from 4-5 on the report, but the graph MAY show the numbers from the previous record, which could range from 65-75 (the report is ~700 pages). I say MAY show previous data because I could simply close the report, open it up again, and the same page could be correct this time. So, page 2 and 3 could be wrong one time, but right the next time when page 7 and 8 are wrong. Sorry for the long note, it's a tough one to explain.

WASHINGTON (AP) Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer has asked the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to initiate a formal investigation into what has caused polio-like paralysis in about 20 children in California over the past 18 months.
Boxer's letter, sent Thursday to CDC Director Thomas Frieden, says, "We need answers."
In particular, she wants the agency to examine whether the illness can be traced to a virus or environmental factors. She also wants to know whether the agency is aware of similar reports of paralysis nationwide.
In a statement emailed to The Associated Press, the CDC said Frieden received the letter "and will be giving it careful consideration."
Doctors at Stanford University said earlier this week that they had found some instances of children suffering paralysis in one or more limbs.

World's 1st Interest-Based App YoTurf
YoTurf is a social networking mobile chatting app for introverts to connect them based on their shared interest. YoTurf is owned by Crackheads and was launched on April 5, 2014.
Mumbai, Maharastra, India, May 20, 2014 - (PressReleasePoint) - Crackheads, a Mumbai based innovation agency announces the launch of its social networking app- YoTurf. It's the world's first interest-based app that connects users in the vicinity via their shared interests. Made by an Indian, the app has a global appeal.
YoTurf is a great community-building tool where like-minded people can come together and interact. Since it's also GPS-based, the prospect of meeting someone also goes up.
For example, if a few people love football and are in proximity, they would be connected. It's the ideal ice-breaker as when meet people for the first time, and wouldn't know what to talk to them about. But if have some interests in common, can easily chat them up.
The product was designed by Adot Interactive, a Chennai-based company.
YoTurf, which was launched on April 5, 2014, is for the iOS platform with plans of launching it on Android in June. It lets introverts find, share connect and discover people who love the same things.
About Crackheads
Crackheads is a Mumbai-based partnership company, founded by Abhimanyu Amar Jadhavrao (an advertising professional). The company's goal is to make connectivity more worthwhile than chatting alone. With HQs in Mumbai, the company is soon planning to branch into other cities as well.
Jadhavrao, the founder and CEO, has this to say, "As an introvert, my growing up years were bit of a struggle. I always wanted to speak what was on my mind... like cars, photography and food. But never really found the nerve to approach anyone. YoTurf, in a way, is a tool to relive my childhood. I hope you have fun using this App."
Download the App from> https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yoturf/id821675467?mt=8

Future Gulf War: Arab and American Forces against Iranian Capabilities
October 28, 2009
Related Links
Gulf Arabs are increasingly taking measure of Iran's capabilities to wage war. Military power is relative, not absolute, and to gauge Iran's capabilities to wage war and threaten the Persian Gulf, one must compare Iran's power against that of its regional rivals. A rough net assessment of strategies and military forces in the Gulf needs to weigh Iranian conventional military power-both in its regular military and Revolutionary Guard forces-against the conventional militaries of Saudi Arabia, the other Arab Gulf states, and the United States. By this scale, Arab and American forces are heavier than Iranian capabilities. But because they are, Iran is likely to turn to its time-tested unconventional ways of war to exploit Arab Gulf state and American vulnerabilities in future conflicts.
Long on Hardware, Short on Power
At first glance, the Arab Gulf states look well heeled militarily because they have purchased the most modern and capable weaponry. The United States and Europeans have been eager to sell their military wares for top dollar to the Gulf states. The Saudis, Kuwaitis, and Omanis spend up to 10 percent of their gross domestic product on their militaries, which amounts to about $21 billion, $4 billion, and $2.7 billion, respectively.
The Arab Gulf state forces since the 1990 Iraq war also have increased in size. A decade ago, for example, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait could only field about 5 divisions and 215 combat aircraft, but today they can field 8 divisions and 430 combat aircraft.
The Gulf Arabs have some of the most sophisticated armaments in the world. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), for example, has purchased 80 advanced block 60 F-16s- which are more sophisticated than the block 50 F-16s in the U.S. Air Force-that are optimal for penetrating deeply into Iranian airspace to deliver munitions against ground targets.3 Saudi Arabia in 2006 agreed to buy 72 Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft for $11 billion and to spend $400 million on upgrading 12 Apache AH-64S attack helicopters, while Kuwait has bought 24 Apache Longbow helicopters and Bahrain has ordered 9 UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters. The United States also wants to sell the Saudis and the UAE Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) kits that convert 500- and 2,000-pound gravity bombs into all-weather precision strike weapons guided by satellites. The George W. Bush administration proposed selling the Saudis 900 kits and the Emirates 200 JDAM systems.
There is less than meets the eye to Gulf Arab military power, however. Governments have acquired impressive weapons holdings, but they are too often for show and not for waging modern warfare. As Anthony Cordesman and Khalid Al-Rodhan assess, the emphasis on acquiring the shell of military capability, rather than the reality, is partly the "result of a tendency to treat military forces as royal playgrounds or status symbols, partly a lack of expertise and effective military leadership, and partly a result of the fear that effective military forces might lead to a coup."
Gulf Arab conventional forces are impressive for military parades, but would be less formidable in an actual clash of arms. The UAE, for example, is greatly increasing its equipment and weapons holdings with large arms purchases, but the military suffers from too many diverse weapons that are better suited for the garrison than expeditionary missions, and its readiness, manpower, sustainability, and maneuver capabilities are not keeping pace with arms purchases. Michael Knights notes that Saudi Arabia's armed forces in particular suffer from a "massive overemphasis on procurement of high technology and serious underemphasis on manpower issues, personnel selection, training, and maintenance."
The reasons for the inability of the Arab Gulf states to field effective militaries are wide, deep, numerous, and elude any quick fixes. Kenneth Pollack astutely observes, "Four areas of military effectiveness stand out as consistent and crippling problems for Arab forces: poor tactical leadership, poor information management, poor weapons handling, and poor maintenance. These complications were present in every single Arab army and air force between 1948 and 1991."
The Gulf Arabs are flush with highranking officers and prestige, but short on the noncommissioned officers who make modern militaries run. Their education systems do not produce technically oriented men willing or able to do the grunt work on which effective military organizations depend. The Arab Gulf states are forced to rely excessively on foreign militaries, contractors, and expatriates to run their militaries. Persian Gulf expert Simon Henderson notes that "several conservative Arab Gulf states, lacking trained manpower, rely heavily on foreign contract soldiers and advisors, including technicians and pilots, to provide professionalism as well as vital skills, and to maintain a high level of combat readiness," and the UAE "is considered the state most dependent on foreign support.
About 30 percent of its service personnel are expatriates." These foreign expatriates are akin to mercenaries who make good money in peacetime but would likely be the first to flee in a major regional military conflict. Arab militaries in general operate under stringent political constraints that profoundly hamper their effectiveness. It is not much of an exaggeration to say that their first, second, and third missions are to protect the regime from internal threats, while the lagging fourth mission is to protect from external threats.
The Arab regimes have created redundant security and military organizations to complicate and deter military coups. But this makes for a lack of unity in military command and control during war with an external adversary. Arab forces suffer from heavily centralized decisionmaking authority out of concern of coups, which severely hampers battlefield responses and the ability to respond rapidly to changing battlefield conditions. Moreover, they lack intraservice cooperation and suppress tactical independent initiative. Arab militaries also have strong propensities to promote leaders and commanders on the basis of family, tribal, and political affiliations rather than on military competence. The Arab Gulf states do a poor job using technology software to integrate weapons systems hardware to gain synergetic effects on the modern battlefield.
The Saudi air force and air defense force capabilities, for example, are not keeping pace for future conflict because they need a modern command, control, communications, computer, and intelligence battle management system to replace the system that the United States withdrew from Prince Sultan Air Force Base after the Iraq war.12 Likewise, the UAE air force, typical of Gulf Arab militaries, has a "knights of the air" mindset, and it lacks air control and battle management systems and has limited training for integrating airpower with ground force operations. These tendencies are in marked contrast to the Israeli approach to war, which Arabs are fond of rhetorically railing against. As Anthony Cordesman observes, "While most Arab states focus on the 'glitter factor' inherent in buying the most advanced weapons systems, Israel has given the proper weight to battle management, sustainability, and systems integration."
The Arab Gulf states, despite living in a dangerous neighborhood, have remarkably little recent battlefield experience. They have largely stayed out of the fray and let others fight in the last three Gulf wars. The Omani army, for example, has not fought in any major conflict for several decades. The Arab Gulf states shied away from providing peacekeeping forces to Iraq after Saddam's ouster, with the Saudis insisting on all sorts of conditions on participation, especially that their forces not be under American command, while discussions about UAE troops to protect Iraq's southern oilfields also never came to fruition.
The Arab Gulf state military performances in the 1990-1991 war in particular were on balance less than distinguished. The Kuwait military was outgunned and outmanned and easily overwhelmed by invading Iraqi forces in 1990, and its ground and air forces collapsed. The Saudis and Qataris had the largest engagement of all Arab forces during the Gulf War, but their performance was lackluster. The Iraqis launched a major attack against Saudi Arabia prior to the coalition ground invasion of Kuwait and captured the Saudi town of al Khafji with one mechanized division, and the Saudi battalion there fled.
The Iraqis had moved their division into attack position at night to avoid detection by American intelligence, the limits of which the Iraqis had learned in receiving American intelligence on Iran during the Iran-Iraq war. Saudi and Qatari forces eventually retook the city, but only after launching two amateurish counterattacks; they had no combat experience and only marginal training, with no plan for communication between Saudi and Qatari forces and no plan for direct artillery or air strikes, which is standard procedure for any professional military. In the reconquest of Kuwait, Arab forces did little more than conduct an administrative procession into Kuwait City after the Americans and British secured it.
The Gulf Arabs have comparatively more combat experience in the air than on the ground. Saudi aircraft supported U.S. Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft and patrolled the "Fahd" air defense line during the 1980-1988 Gulf war and destroyed at least one Iranian aircraft. In the 1991 Gulf War, Saudi aircraft mounted 1,656 offensive sorties into Kuwait and Iraq to include 1,133 strike missions, 523 close air support missions, as well as 118 reconnaissance missions. Bahraini aircraft flew 294 combat missions in 1991, and Qatari Mirage F-1s and armed helicopters supported ground operations in the Khafji battle and in the liberation of Kuwait, while UAE aircraft also mounted operations in Kuwait and Iraq. Saudi Arabia could fairly claim a military achievement in air-to-air battle during the 1990-1991 Gulf War. One Saudi F-15C shot down two Iraqi F-1 aircraft that had been attempting offensive airstrikes in the Gulf.
The Arab Gulf states have shown little to no grit or resolve for joint military action. The United States long pushed the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) for a common integrated air defense since the council's founding in 1986, but to no avail. The GCC countries, meanwhile, buy major weapons systems without coordinating with Arab Gulf states and have little to no interoperability or common doctrine. The coordination and integration problems are so bad that Bahrain's F-16 combat aircraft cannot readily operate from UAE air bases. These realities have been strongly reflected in the steady decline of the GCC, which decided in 2005 to abolish its joint military unit called Dir' Al-Jazeera (or Peninsula Shield) some 20 years after its creation because of Saudi and Qatari rivalry and because of the force's lackluster capabilities.
On the other side of the scale, Iran's military is impressive in quantity but underwhelming in quality. Its forces are composed of some 545,000 troops.24 In contrast, Saudi Arabia, Iran's largest regional rival, has some 223,500 active duty troops.25 The small Arab Gulf states have significantly less manpower: Bahrain has 8,200, Kuwait has 15,500, Oman has 42,600, Qatar has 11,800, and the UAE has 51,000 active duty strengths. Iraq's military is still taking shape and is preoccupied with battling internal security threats.
The bulk of Iran's inventories are American-built weapons bought before the 1979 revolution and a mix of Soviet and Chinese weapons that are qualitatively inferior to the modern American and Western weapons systems in the Gulf Arab inventories. Some of the most technologically sophisticated aircraft in Iran's inventory are about 24 Iraqi Mirage F-1 combat aircraft. During the 1991 coalition air campaign against Iraq, most of Iraq's pilots fled in their aircraft to Iran rather than face American and British airpower. It is doubtful, however, that the Iranians are maintaining these F-1s in good repair and order. The Iranians have extraordinary difficulty sustaining their military equipment due to a lack of spare parts and trained mechanics.
Tehran's forces had more combat experience in mobile conventional warfare than their Gulf Arab rivals, but that experience is rapidly aging. The Iranians who fought on the frontlines during the Iran-Iraq war from 1980 to 1988 are retired. The majority of the population, moreover, is under 25 years of age and thus has no personal memory of the Iranian Revolution. In fact, the "vast majority of the combat-trained labor power Iran developed during the Iran-Iraq War left military service by the mid-1990s. Iran now has a largely conscripted force with limited military training and little combat experience."
What to Expect
A rough weighing of Gulf Arab military capabilities against those of Iran has to take into account a variety of conflict scenarios involving air, naval, and ground forces. The Arab Gulf states likely would do reasonably well against the Iranians in air-to-air combat. Although Gulf Arab ground forces capabilities are more limited than airpower capabilities, the Iranians too suffer from severe ground force projection problems. Iranian ground forces also would be vulnerable to Arab Gulf state air attack.
The tight geographic confines in the Gulf would allow the Iranians to make short dashes with combat aircraft to catch Gulf Arab air defenses and air forces unawares and drop ordnance on major cities and military bases. But the Arab Gulf states would be able to put up their guards to marshal combat air patrols to complicate Iranian follow-on air attacks. Iran's combat aircraft, moreover, are aging, and it would be difficult for the Iranians to keep them operational for a prolonged air campaign against Arab neighbors. On the other hand, the Arab Gulf states with F-15, F-16, and Tornado combat aircraft have more capabilities to strike against Iranian targets than Iran has to strike the Arab Gulf. The Iranians are trying to shore up this disadvantage by getting Russian help to modernize their ground-based air defenses.
The Arab Gulf states also have naval forces that could bombard Iranian ports, oil facilities and platforms, and naval assets. The UAE has a longstanding dispute with Iran over the sovereignty of three islands-Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb-near tanker routes to the Strait of Hormuz, which were seized by the Shah of Iran after the British withdrew from the Gulf in the early 1970s. The islands were militarily occupied by the Iranians in1992 when Tehran claimed that they were an "inseparable part of Iran." The UAE navy could try to reassert control of the disputed islands. By the same token, the Arab Gulf states have coastal facilities that would make attractive targets for Iranian attacks. They all have tanker-loading facilities, as well as power and desalination plants along the Gulf coast.
The Arab Gulf states have more sophisticated and modern ground force equipment than Iran, but the Iranians have the advantage in the number of troops they could field for mobile-conventional warfare. The Iranians in the future could have a border dispute or political crisis with Kuwait and could threaten that country. Kuwait could turn to its GCC fellow members for help, but as previously discussed, the GCC is more political show than military substance. Iranian troops motivated by the spoils of war lying in Kuwait and the Arab Gulf states might have more grit in battle than outnumbered and pampered Gulf state ground forces. Arab Gulf states could leverage airpower to intimidate and deny Iran's air force from protecting the skies over its ground forces and their avenues of advance into Arab territories. Gulf Arab political equities would also undermine concerted military action against Iranian ground forces. Kuwait, for example, might be reluctant to host its Arab neighbors, especially Saudi forces, out of fear of never being able to get rid of them after the crisis with Iran. Kuwait might worry that calling in Arab ground forces would precipitate an Iranian attack rather than dissuade it. The Kuwaiti royal family made such a calculation when it decided against putting its armed forces on alert in the face of the buildup of Iraqi forces across the border in July 1990. The Kuwaiti army of some 16,000 troops was not fully mobilized on the eve of Iraq's invasion in keeping with the royal family's attempt not to provoke Iraq. The Kuwaitis disastrously misjudged that a military alert would provoke Saddam rather than deter him.
Weighing U.S. Forces
Iran knows well from past warfare in the Gulf that it has to steer clear of American conventional forces. During the Iran-Iraq war in April 1988, for example, while the U.S. Navy was escorting merchant and tanker ships in the Gulf to protect them from Iranian attacks, the Iranians laid a minefield that struck an American ship and wounded 10 Sailors. The United States retaliated in Operation Praying Mantis and attacked Iranian coastal facilities. The Iranians tried to challenge the American Navy surface ships but quickly lost two frigates and four other vessels. The Iranians watched in awe as American and British forces in 2003 dispatched Saddam Hussein's regime in 3 weeks, a feat that Iran could not achieve in 8 years of war with Iraq from 1980 to 1988.
The Iranians are apt to stick with mine-laying proficiencies in future war to counterbalance American surface ship superiorities. They no doubt have learned from Iraq's employment of mines against American and coalition forces during the 1990-1991 Gulf War when the Iraqis laid about 1,300 mines, some of which hit the helicopter carrier USS Tripoli and the cruiser USS Princeton. These experiences showed the Iranians that multimillion-dollar American warships could be threatened and even rendered inoperable by mines costing no more than a few thousand dollars.
The Iranians have noticed the vulnerabilities of American warships operating in brown waters to suicide bombs at ports. They have seen how the al Qaeda bombing of the USS Cole in 2000 cheaply used a boat-delivered suicide bomb to kill 17 Sailors and nearly sink a billion-dollar warship.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard navy and operatives would be keen to replicate such an operational success against American ships anchored or under way in waters around Bahrain, the UAE, Oman, Kuwait, or Saudi Arabia to scare off American port visits and transit operations.
The Iranians could easily adopt suicide bombers to "swarm" naval warfare. As John Arquilla explains: The basic vision of this new kind of naval warfare consists of a swarm of small drone craft-something even smaller than a boat, perhaps the size of a Jet Ski, but one chock-full of high explosives. Imagine a number of these remote-controlled craft coming at a traditional warship-a destroyer, cruiser, or even an aircraft carrier. The larger the number of drones, the greater the chance some will get through, sinking or seriously damaging expensive naval vessels at little cost, and virtually without risk
to one's remote pilots.
The Iranians have proven adept at recruiting and training suicide bombers similar to those that Hizballah has thrown against American forces in the past. In future Gulf warfare, the Iranians could recruit and train a suicide bomber cadre for explosive-laden small craft and jet skis.
The Iranians would complement mining and small boat operations with submarine warfare. The Russians have equipped Iran's navy with diesel submarines to make up for its formidable shortcomings in surface ships against American naval forces. Moscow sold Tehran three Kilo-class submarines, which are quiet, small, and ideal for operating in shallow Gulf waters with weapons loads of a mix of 18 homing and wire-guided torpedoes or 24 mines. And the Iranians are diversifying their submarine and irregular warfare capabilities and have purchased at least three one-man submarines designed for covert demolition and infiltration operations. They have also obtained midget submarines from North Korea.
Moreover, the Iranians claim to be producing their own submarines. Tehran announced in November 2007 that it had launched its second indigenously built Ghadir-class submarine, which it claimed could fire missiles and torpedoes simultaneously.
Saturation fire of Iranian cruise missiles, especially in the narrow Strait of Hormuz, is another looming danger. The Iranians have cruise missiles from China and could buy more from Russia. The United States would have its hands full attempting to destroy Iran's missile bases judging, in part, from its experience trying to counter Iraqi cruise missiles. In fact, the United States did not destroy a single land-based Iraqi antiship missile launcher during the Gulf War, and the Iranians now have many launch sites, storage areas, caves, shelters, and small hardened facilities for their cruise missiles, which are difficult to detect and attack. Iran could launch swarms of cruise missiles to try to overwhelm the defenses of a targeted American warship.
Iran's Style of Warfare
These Iranian capabilities leveraged against American vulnerabilities would be acute problems for American naval forces in a future Gulf war. The U.S. military in 2002 conducted a war game that simulated large numbers of small and fast Iranian vessels attacking American ships in the Gulf with machineguns and rockets. In the simulation, the U.S. Navy lost 16 warships, to include an aircraft carrier, cruisers, and amphibious vessels in battles that lasted 5 to 10 minutes.
The lessons from this game have not gained much intellectual traction in a Pentagon and combatant command fully engaged in today's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and against al Qaeda.The Iranians more recently have given American forces a taste of their style of unconventional warfare. Five Iranian Revolutionary Guard patrol boats in January 2008 charged a three-ship U.S. Navy convoy in the Strait of Hormuz, maneuvering around and between a destroyer, cruiser, and frigate during a half-hour challenge. One Iranian boat came within 200 yards of an American ship and almost drew fire. The United States needs to guard against such Iranian harassment operations as a deception ploy. The Revolutionary Guard might calculate that periodic challenge operations against warships will make the Americans grow accustomed to them and lower their guard, making the vessels more vulnerable to real attacks. The Iranians might decide that catching a large American warship unawares with a surprise attack would reap huge strategic rewards.
Despite the huge military expenditures and sophisticated Western armaments in their inventories, the Arab Gulf states are ill prepared to defend themselves in low-end (insurgency and militia sponsorship) and high-end (ballistic missile, perhaps with nuclear warheads) scenarios against Iran. These inventories, moreover, are not likely to overcome Gulf Arab shortcomings for defending against asymmetric Iranian attacks.
The United States, for its part, is moving to strengthen Gulf Arab military capabilities in conventional warfare while neglecting their capabilities to counter Iran's most likely and more capable forms of force.
At the end of the day, the Arab Gulf states will have to decide whether to balance or to bandwagon Iranian power in the Gulf. Put another way, nation-states may either align against a stronger state or join it. If the Arab Gulf states grow uncertain of the U.S. commitment to their security, they could bandwagon and appease Iran-and in so doing distance themselves from the United States and give Tehran freer rein in the Gulf. If they are more confident of American security backing, they would balance against Iran and increasingly turn to the United States for security protection because their militaries are inadequate to the task of countering Iran along the full spectrum of warfare. Washington needs to encourage the Arab Gulf states to balance, but in doing so, it should focus less on building up their conventional military capabilities and pay more attention to the Iranian threats stemming from unconventional warfare.

Knit and crochet patterns transition wardrobe for winter
Despite this week's delay of game, the time is quickly approaching for knit and crochet sweaters, skirts and dresses.
These cozy items are a perfect choice as the weather chills and winter approaches, fashion experts say. They keep you warm and often appear hand-made — even if they aren't.
"We are seeing lots of interesting knits that bring texture and subtle patterns to a garment," says Gregg Andrews, Nordstrom fashion director. "These knits give a sense of authenticity. And we live in such a modern world that it is nice to own something that looks like it was done by hand, even if it wasn't."
Such garments are wonderful transition pieces from fall into winter, Andrews says. They can stand on their own now, and then, be worn under a jacket or blazer as the temperature plummets.
Tunic-length styles are great because they are easy to wear and look good over a slim pant with a pair of boots.
"And there you have a great outfit," Andrews says. "But it is also one that is still really comfortable. Add jewelry, a scarf and heels, and it can take you from day to night."
Every color works from neutrals such as ivory and oatmeal to deeper tones such as oxblood and deep green, he says. Expand your wardrobe with knits that have a metallic-like coating for a new and interesting look.
The trend this fall consists more of an open-weave or looser knit, says Marissa Rubin, senior market editor for People Style Watch.
"It has the feel of crochet, without being homespun and looking like grandma knit it for you," Rubin says. "It can also give the feel of a little bit of a hippie. It looks nice layered over a tank for fall."
The fun thing about crochet and knits is mixing and matching textures, says Lindsay Huggins, senior fashion-market editor for Self magazine. From Fair Isle novelty knits to tweed styles to those with metallic threading, it is about having fun with these fabrics, Huggins says.
In the winter, a good knit is practically indispensable, says whowhatwear.com. On the surface, one-piece knits appear as basic as get-up-and-go wardrobe essentials. But complementary pieces and high-impact accessories can elevate a knit sweater from elemental to en vogue, whowhatwear.com says.
Loose knit or open-knit sweaters are this season's perfect layering staple, says Marie Kojitani, style editor for Zappos.com.
Adding a dose of texture just makes a fall ensemble a lot cozier and interesting, she says. Printed sweaters are also a great way to add dimension.
"These look best when done in a slightly oversized, relaxed fit," Kojitani says. "You can easily throw them on over a bright camisole for a pop of color or a button-up shirt for a more covered-up option. The overall look is effortlessly cool and very easy to pull off for all body types."
